Louis got downstairs with a slightly flushed but otherwise normal face, He didn't see Haruame anywhere on the couch or in the living room So he assumed it was safe. He headed to the kitchen and filled a cup with water before chugging it. He calmed down a bit and his face wasn't as hot as before.
He sighed before heading back to the Living room but froze when he saw Haruame coming down the stairs, He was wearing a simple Tshirt and a pair of knee length shorts. His hair was still wet and he didn't have any shoes on, Louis tried his hardest to keep calm and walk past Haruame.
" Hm? Louis, Is something wrong? Your face is red, Are you feeling sick? " Haruame inquired with concern. Louis somehow felt like he heard some playfulness hidden in his voice, He quickly looked at Haruame but only saw confusion and concern etched onto his face, nothing more and nothing less.
" Nothing is wrong, I'm just feeling slightly hot. I might go take a shower to help cool off " Louis smiled at Haruame, who's smile seemed to falter before fixing itself before anyone noticed.
" I see, Then I won't keep you here for much longer. I will see later, though I may not be back by dinner time " Haruame informed Louis, who paused. He saw the same smile on the same male's face yet something about hm seemed different, His voice sounded more tempting and playful than usual.
" May I ask why you may not be back in time for dinner, Haruame? Louis asked, trying to decipher what Haruame's sudden change could be caused by. Haruame simply chuckled before he continued to walk downstairs, " I'm simply going out with Ru-kun, He's taking me somewhere today. Well, You'll have to excuse me. I have to tell Masaomi before we leave. See you later, Louis " Haruame gave Louis a closed eye smile before he turned his back to him.
Louis felt a small shiver go down his back when the man said his name. He quickly brushed it off before he quickly went to grab his things and take a shower to calm himself down.
While Louis was in the shower, Haruame was downstairs sitting on the couch with a few of the brothers. Haruame was playing with Wataru as he waited for Hikaru to come downstairs, Wataru and Haruame were playing with sock puppets and were trying to mke the brothers laugh. They made 4/5 of the brothers laugh, because Yuusuke was passed out on the couch.
After playing for a bit, Hikaru finally came down but his appearance shocked Haruame. Hikaru was wearing male clothes and had no makeup on, He wasn't crossdressing today.
Haruame must admit though, Hikaru looked really really handsome when he wasn't dressing as a male, {A/N: I think so too. Haru: You think all anime guys look good looking. A/N: Because most of the time its true!! Especially if they have long hair, Hikaru has both! Good looks and Long hair!! Haru: Yeah, Yeah. Calm down}.
Hikaru noticed Haruame's stares and winked at him, Which earned him a slight glare. Hikaru chuckled before waving for him to come with him, So Haruame told Masaomi what that the will be going out for a bit, then walked up to Hikaru.
As they were walking towards the elevator, Haruame cursed himself repeatedly as he froze in place, not wanting to get anywhere near an elevator. He always seems to have awful times, even without his trauma, when he steps into the elevator.
Hikaru noticed that Haruame stopped walking, He looked back slightly confused when he suddenly remembered the he and Haruame were in the elevator. He then silently scolded his mother for not installing stairs.
He walked back over to Haruame, whose head was facing the ground and his arms were wrapped around himself. He was slightly shaking, Hikaru felt bad so he pulled Haruame into a tight hug. Haruame was shocked by the sudden hug but even so, He refused to cry right now. He would cry when he was alone, He felt like he would embarrass himself greatly if he were to cry from a hug.
" Are you alright, Haru-chan? We don't have to go if you would rather not, We can try another day " Hikaru brightly smiled at Haruame, who had already started feeling guilty. Haruame felt like if he had spoken, then his voice would give him away. So he simply shook his head before pulling Hikaru into the Elevator.
However, He refused to let go of Hikaru's hand. Hikaru didn't mind, If it helped Haruame then he would do whatever he wanted so he didn't feel uncomfortable or scared. As the elevator began moving, Haruame moved from Hikaru's hand to clinging to his arm to crouching on the ground with his arms around Hiakru's neck, who crouched down with him.
" It'll be alright, Haru-chan. It's almost over, I promise. Hm, You need something to take your mind off the elevator . . . . . Ah! " Hikaru seemed to come up with an Idea as he suddenly shouted, Making Haruame flinch visibly.
" Ah, Sorry for scaring you Haru-chan!! But I've come up with a plan to make you stop focusing on the elevator!! " Hikaru beamed, he seemed really happy all of sudden and was practically shimmering.
Haruame had to squint his eyes to just look at Hikaru, " Whats your plan? " Haruame's voice came out shiky and quiet. Hikaru, not planning on saying his plan verbally, used his hands to cup Haruame's cheeks.
Haruame was still confused when Hikaru leaned closer and closed the gap between them, connecting their lips in a soft but fleeting kiss. After Hikaru pulled away, He chuckled when he saw Haruame's very red face and slightly opened mouth.
{Haru: WHAT THE HELL AUTHOR!! WHAT WAS THAT!? A/N: . . . . . Well It had to happen sooner or later, didn't it? Its a classic scene to me and I just couldn't resist writing it. Nothing bad happened anyway. Haru: MY FIRST KISS WAS TAKEN FROM ME!! HOW IS THAT NOTHING!? A/N: Well did you hate it? I can write that If you'd like. Haru: . . . . . *Huff* I didn't . . . . hate it . . . . >/////<}
Soon the elevator dinged and the doors opened, Hikaru pulled Haruame up and guided him out of the elevator and outside the building. Haruame was still frozen from shock so he didn't realize that he had exited the complex.
It was only after they were halfway to their destination that Haruame snapped out of his daze, Because He saw a cute yellow cat laying on a brown bench. Haruame started at it for what felt like forever before he heard someone clear their throat from behind his back, He looked back and saw Hikaru, suppressing a laugh. Haruame was kinda confused before everything came back to him.
" YOU!! " Haruame whisper yelled at Hikaru, who moved closer to hear him. He wrapped his arm around Haruame's shoulder, " 'I' what? " Hikaru enjoyed teasing Haruame as he always got the best reactions out of him.
" YOU . . . . KISSED ME!! HOW DARE YOU TAKE MY FIRST KISS!!!!!!! " Harume whisper yelled as he pounded his fists against Hikaru's chest, his face was as red as a ripe tomato and he had tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.
Hikaru would have felt like laughing but he didn't feel like laughing anymore when he saw the tears that Haruame didn't want to fall. He saw Haruame wipe his eyes, desperate to get rid of the tears.
Hikaru abruptly pulled Haruame into a hug, " I'm sorry Haru-chan, I was just trying to distract you from the elevator but I only made you cry instead. I'm sorry, You might not feel comfortable with me now, I'm sorry if I made you feel disgusted by kissing you but please don't cry. I don't like it when you cry " Hikaru rambled, feeling like he didn't get his point across when Haruame slightly pushed him away.
He looked down at the younger boy, who still had some tears at the corners of his eyes,
" I . . . . It didn't . . . . feel disgusting. . . . have I not told . . . . you that I like . . . . guys before? Because I swear I did . . . . . wait. . . . that might have been a conversation I had in my head . . . . " Haruame started mumbling to himself which Hikaru chuckled to, I'm glad that he didn't find it disgusting at least.
" Then Did you like it?" Hikaru asked, seeing how far he could push and get answered. Haruame flinched before turning his head away to look at the cat, His ears were bright red as he answered vaguely, " I didn't not like it " Hikaru beamed once again as he hugged Haruame around the neck.
" I'm glad you don't hate me. I'm really glad, Haru-chan. Well lets get going shall we? We're almost at the palace I wanted to show you " Hikaru let Haruame go and began pulling him by the hand to wherever.
Haruame didn't resist as his mind began to wonder into space, What did he feel for Hikaru? Did he love him? His heart certainly speed up when he was around him but it did the same when he was around Louis. So who did he love? He just couldn't figure it out so he pushed it out his mind and looked up at clouds, like louis does a lot.
I'll figure it out later I guess, No point dwelling on it now.
