Dinnertime Distress

Kaoru POV

I leaned in close. I wanted to hear what Hikaru had to say.

Hikaru cleared his throat and looked me in the eye, "Kaoru, I l-," and he was cut off.

I swear I could've punched a hole in the wall at that moment, but it was our maid. She came to get us for dinner.

*time skip*

I played with my food, none of it made it past my lips. I kept glancing across the dining table at Hikaru. For some reason, he was playing with his food as well... I stared at him intently and couldn't help but think he's cute. He was adorable: he was pouting and the frown he wore on his brows were just adorable. I sighed and prodded at my salad. I just wanted to hear what Hikaru had to say...

Hikaru POV

Kaoru was playing with his food, was he not feeling well? I began to worry. But to top it off, I was pissed. Really pissed. If that maid had come in a moment later, I could've explained everything to Kaoru. I pouted and played with my food. That's when I heard Kaoru giggling. Was he laughing at me? I looked up and noticed that Kaoru was staring dreamily at me. WHAT THE HECK?! "What are you lookin' at huh?"

"Nuthin," Kaoru smiled.

He's so damn cute... I could've reached across the table and kissed him right there... NO. STOP. HE IS YOUR BROTHER. DO NOT THINK THAT WAY YOU PERVERT. But I couldn't help but smile too. I wonder what Kaoru was thinking just now, could it be about me? Naw, that's not possible.

My thoughts swayed back and forth: from Tono, to Kaoru, to Haruhi, back to Kaoru, to Kyoya, and back to Kaoru again. Dammit! Why can't I think of anything other than him?
