Hey guys, so with my graduation from high school and completion of college applications and the such I am proud to be back. I plan on writing and uploading a lot more now that I have a lot of time. Read and Review!
A small smile graces the handsome face of my favorite senpai. I fidget waiting for the answer that can change my entire life. I hope that the smile indicates a positive answer.
"I do, unfortunately." He says in a barely audible whisper. I am puzzled, what did the added "unfortunately" mean. Obviously Mitsukuni senpai knows that he has to elaborate. "I do like you Haruhi; I have since the day you called Usa-chan cute. The only reason that this is unfortunate is because we do not share the same financial status." I feel as if I have been slapped across the face.
"I would have expected that from anyone else here, but not you senpai." I reply quietly as I turn to walk away from my first unrequited crush. Mitsukuni yells after me.
"Haruhi, I didn't mean it that way." Fire blazes in my chest. How could he break my heart so cruelly and then try to save face afterwards? I was so sure that he liked me. I turn back to him in a flash of anger and energy.
"You knew exactly what it meant as it left your lips. You don't get to use my situation against me and expect me not to be upset." I yell at him. Hot tears burn their tracks down my face. I take my things and run away from Music Room Three. I see Mori senpai waiting at the end of the hall, not wanting him to question me I decide to hide my face from him. I use my arm to cover my eyes and proceed to run past him. The only thing I can think about is how I was so sure, so sure.
I make it home and am so glad that my dad is working late tonight. I make a cup of tea and sit on my bed alone with my thoughts; my tears had dried a while ago. Was it typical for girls to go through things such as these? I can't even begin to fathom how they get used to feeling this way. My thoughts wander back to the words Hani senpai said to me. "Why didn't I factor in our financial differences into my hypothesis?" I ask myself feeling the regret wash over me. I suddenly felt the need to take a really long bath. Fifteen minutes later I hear knocks at the door. I look at my clock and came to the conclusion that one of my father's friends was dropping him off. I open the door preparing to deal with a drunken father, but once again my hypothesis was wrong.
"Hani senpai, what are you doing here?" I ask completely bewildered. He was standing there with his hair and clothes messy and his eyes were puffy and red. I look out to the street and didn't see his driver anywhere. He must have walked. I usher him in and sat him down. I wet a washcloth and hold it to his eyes.
"Are you okay? Did someone try to mug you? Are they ok? Are you hurt anywhere?" I fire off the inquiries rapidly. Hani senpai took the rag away from his face and new tears began to flow. I pull him into an instant embrace. "Whatever happened I'm sure it'll be okay." I said unconsciously stroking his hair. He pulls away and wipes his tears.
"Haruhi, I'm sorry I made you hate me. I really do like you. The only reason I brought up the monetary status is because it is something my parent look at. They are afraid that women will only pursue me for title. So in their minds if they can find a girl with an even higher status than mine and affection for me then it would be true love. Because of how you live, my parents would immediately distrust you." He explains while tears well up in my eyes. I pull him into another hug, which he returned.
"Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" I ask softly into his ear. He pulls back again with his eyebrows furrowed, he sniffs a little and responds.
"I tried but you didn't let me get a word out edge wise." My eyes widen. I was the cause of my very own suffering. My emotions spilled over and I almost ruined everything. I stare at my own hands in my lap.
"I'm sorry." I voice softly, "I should have let you explain yourself." Hani senpai took my hands in his, they were warm.
"It's okay I'm just glad you understand now." I nod in agreement while I continue to look down. Hani senpai lifted my chin so that I would be looking him in the eyes. "Can I kiss you Haruhi?" A blush crept up on my cheeks.
"You can Hani sen-" Hani cut me off with a finger to my lips.
"Call me by my name Haruhi, please." I nod my head as he removes his finger.
"Please kiss me Mitsukuni." I say softly.
"It will be my pleasure" Mitsukuni says before he envelopes me in a sweet kiss. I feel my breath escape my lungs as sparks fly across my body. My hands wander through his hair as his find my waist. He pulls my body closer to his and I silently gasp into the kiss. Seconds later I have to pull away due to a lack of oxygen making it to my brain. I feel light headed and exhilarated.
A breathless wow is all that escapes my lips. A large grin spreads across Mitsukuni's face; it fit alongside his deep blush.
"You look really cute right now Haru chan. I want to kiss you again." I look away, unable to handle the feelings washing over me. I pulled Mitsukuni in for another kiss once I catch my breath, and as our lips connected my father entered the apartment. I quickly pull away from Mitsukuni and try to hide my blush, but it was for naught because my father had a very sharp mind and he already picked up on what had happened.
"Mr. Haninozuka, be sure to keep my Haruhi happy." I hear him say. I stare on in horror as I await my inevitable embarrassment. My father then whispered something to Mitsukuni and left to his room with a Cheshire grin.
"What did he tell you?" I ask as soon as I hear my draw a bath.
"He told me to make him some cute grandchildren." Mitsukuni replies with a small smile. My heart jumps into my throat. Surely my father understood that I was only a first year high school student, and that after this I had six years of law school. Not to mention the fact that Mitsukuni and I getting married was unlikely at this point. I was so caught up in my own thoughts that I forgot that Mitsukuni was even in front of me.
"I don't think that we should disappoint him." He whispers into my ears. I jump back and stare as my mouth hangs open. I was afraid that he was serious that was until he started laughing. "You should see your face Haru chan!" He exclaimed between giggles. I let out a sigh relief. He walks up to me giving me a hug and a peck on the lips. "I have to get home now, but be prepared for more revenge." He told me quietly. All I could do was stare at the spot where he used to stand.
"When is the wedding date?" my father asked from his bedroom door.
"Go to bed father!" I shout as I race to my room. I could hear him giggling even after I shut myself into my room. I lie in bed and let my thoughts over come me as I waited for sleep to claim me.
"What am I getting myself into?"
