Chapter 3

"Uh what's going on Haru?" I say as we both stare awkwardly at Kao and Tama Sempai. We tilt our heads at the same time to the left.

"Even for me this is new." She says as she shakes her head and looks like she's had enough. I continue to stare at Kao though.

"He's cute trying to learn to be romantic right?" I hear a voice say. I'm so distracted by Kao that I don't even realize what I'm saying before it's too late.

"Yeah." I say with a smile. Then I hear Hika laugh. I blink quickly and finally realize what I just said. I gasp and blush looking down at the floor. I turn to him with a flushed face from embarrassment and rage. I tackle him. We playfully wrestle with each other although every now and again I purposely hurt him. He doesn't seem to mind though.

"What are you two doing?" We stop at the sound of Kao voice. He looks hurt.

"Wait! It's not what it looks like!" Hika and I say at the same time. I see a flash of anger in Kao and he storms off dropping a rose on his way out. I just stand there not knowing what to do.

Hika goes after him. I feel my sight going blurry. Once my vision clears I feel the tears rolling down my neck. I walk slowly to the door where Hika and Kao had left from. I kneel on the ground and pick up the rose Kao was probably going to give to me.

That makes me feel a tiny bit better knowing he was going to give me a very beautiful rose. Too bad my tears started falling again.

"Taylor!" I hear Haru through a tunnel. She kneels in front of me and is asking me stuff that I can't really hear. I don't want to hear anyway so I just fall forward and hug her. I want to tell her, but my throat is too tight.

I hadn't realized I fell asleep until I woke up in the room Haru and I shared. I sit up slowly and look out the window. It's night time. I hear soft breathing. I look to the other bed and it's empty. I look to the couch next to me and see Haru sleeping tightly. I grab my blanket and put it on her to keep her warm. I find my shoes and put them on. I slowly open the door and sneak my way out. Haru has always been a heavy sleeper so I don't think I had to worry about disturbing her.

It was kind of chilly outside. I wish I had brought my blazer. Well it's too late for that now. I just wrap my arms around me.

I was hoping this walk would clear my head, but it's only making my head spin with all these thoughts. I guess I just ruined any chances I had with Kao then. I smile sadly at the ground.

I see a nice water fountain. I go to it and just stand looking at it. I listen to the water run and I watch the water sparkle really beautifully from the moon's light. I unconsciously put my hand to my heart. I tear up again, but not as bad as before.

"I'm sorry." I say out loud in my regular voice. Well as close to regular is it could get. It came out cracked and hoarse. I clear my throat. Wait no I didn't. I turn around and see that Kao is right behind me. He isn't looking at me though. But by his body language he looks a little uncomfortable.

"Tay-." "Kao-" We both say at the same time. We make slight eye contact before looking down at the ground. I don't know if I should say something. I can bet he is pondering the same thing.

"Taylor?" He says as he is finally looking at me. I look up at him again, but look back down again. He takes a step closer. I still continue to stare at his approaching shoes. I blink away tears that threaten to fall down my face. Then I'm pulled by him and he holds me tightly. My eyes are open really wide.

"I'm sorry I should have listened to you and Hikaru." He whispers into my hair. That just broke me down into tears. I try to blink them away, but that only brings more. I finally put my arms around his neck and put my head in the bend of his neck. This can't be good for my heart. It feels like it might come out of my chest.

Kao tilts my head up to face him. He bends down and I see that he is going to kiss me. I feel like I'm blushing from head to toe. I close my eyes waiting for the kiss. I get kissed, but not where I expected it. He kisses my cheek instead.

I open my eyes a little disappointed, but I notice that Kao is almost the same shade as his hair. For some reason I get the urge to laugh. I do so. Kao is probably thinking that I must be going crazy, but I guess he let it drop since he started laughing with me.

Elsewhere:

"What are they doing now?" Tamaki whispers to Hikaru as he is grinning while watching his younger twin and Taylor Ann through his binoculars. Tamaki doesn't wait for an answer and he takes the binoculars away from Hikaru.

"Hey!" Hikaru complains as he tries to take the binoculars back from Tamaki. Tamaki puts his hand out and prevents Hikaru from reaching him.

"I'm so proud of my little Kaoru! He is applying what I taught him!" Tamaki says as he puts the binoculars down and is still holding Hikaru back. Hikaru finds a way to get the binoculars back.

"Well now who knew Kaoru could be such a "Romeo"?" Hikaru says once again regaining his grin. He continues to watch Taylor and Kaoru talk amongst themselves. They laugh more than anything.
