Chapter 9 - Woah

                                    

                                          
//HOSHIKO'S POV//
                          
I jolted out of my bed, not because I had a nightmare or anything. My heart wasn't racing, I wasn't sweating and I even touched my eyes and around it to see if I was crying. None were shown. So I did not have a nightmare, so I guess it was one of those random wake ups you get sometimes. It was currently 12 AM, and tomorrow... tomorrow would be the wedding...

NOPE! wE AREN'T GETTING MARRIED ON CHRISTMAS EVE! aRE YOU KIDDING ME?! That is one of the most cliche things I have ever heard. We're getting married on Valentine's Day.....
                          
okay. It's a little cheesy, but whatever! Tomorrow, or today since it's like 12:01 AM, will be absolute hell anyways. Families are coming over and I could just hear the constant questions of the wedding. Like people... I am 18, calm yourselves. 
                          
I'll be honest I don't usually go back to sleep if I wake up this early, so I decided to just lay awake and then I remember tHE LIVING BREATHING HIKARU SLEEPING BESIDE ME. 
                          
I sighed, how am I going to fall back sleep?, I questioned myself. 
                          
The next morning because Author is Lazy :D 
                          
I woke up, which I am surprised I was able to fall back asleep. I looked at the clock and, ohh shit. It's 1:40 PM. I sweat dropped. 
                          
What's mother going to do? 
What's father going to do?
What am I going to do?
                          
I suddenly heard the door creak open, "I'M SORRY I WOKE UP LATE DON'T KILL ME!" I screamed as I hid under the covers. 
"What are you talking about baka." I heard the familiar voice say in its usual sarcastic tone. I got out from under the covers to see the same orange hair that seems to always defy gravity. 
                          
"Oh it's only you." I said, before I laid back down on the bed. He let out a sigh, "You better start changing before the guests come and realize a bear lives in this manor." Hikaru said with a snicker. I groaned, "Fine Future Husband, whatever you say." 
I heard him smirk, "Future Husband you say?" I felt my fave heat up, "I-It's not like that! Y-you're an idiot." I said as I crossed my arms. 
                          
He sighed, "Yeah yeah whatever, just go hurry up and change." he said before leaving the room. 
                          
I went to the walk in closet and decided to pick probably my favorite Christmas outfit. It's just a long sleeved red shirt with a glittered collar, beige skirt with the a brown belt, and combat boots because why not. (A/N: Look at the picture for a reference, Hoshiko isn't wearing a hat so... Yeah) 
                          
When I got out of the closet I saw that it was 3:45. 
                          
I don't know how, but it took me like 2 hours in there. See, I swear our walk in closets are time paradoxes. Paradoxes? Does that even... I don't know. 
                          
So I went downstairs and- people are here. How are people here? I didn't hear the doorbell! Then again I woke up at 1:40 and went into the paradox closet. 
                          
I started to step down the stairs and, of course people are wearing formal causal, because this is a family friend event and not some weird ball wHERE PEOPLE HAVE TO GET ENGAGED- so that's why I'm not wearing a really fancy dress. 
                          
I walked into the living room, which there are a lot of people. Some that I don't even recognize because then again. Family and friends, and we have a big family tHAT KEEPS ON GROWING BECAUSE SOMEONE DECIDED ON AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE- so that's why I don't recognize most of the people. 
                          
At least I have Hikaru, where I can go over and then people tell how cute we are and- oh holy god of paladin he looks fine right now- I mean what are you talking about?!  He doesn't even look that good. (A/N: look at pic above because I am not about to describe what the outfit is XD) 
                          
"Oh look she's here," I could hear a faint voice speak before I heard Hikaru shout, "Hoshiko! Come here!" to which I responded by walking over and standing beside him and his fine outfit. 
                          
I looked at the two people he was talking to and... I have no idea who they are. I have a small bow, "Konichiwa." I said. They bowed back and smiled, "Aw Hikaru I'm so happy you found the one." 
                          
ow. just. that actually physically hurt. like I just felt those words punch me in the face, but I stayed composed to see what Hikaru would reply with. 
                          
He smiled back and looked at me, "Yeah I guess I did." 
                          
woah. wOAAHHH. Who are you and what have you done to Hikaru?! I guess he saw my look of initial shock so he excused the both of us and dragged me over to a vacant area. 
                          
"What's with that look?" he asked me. "What's with that act?!" I said exasperatedly. He gave a light laugh, "We're going on an act okay?" he said. "What?" I asked tilting my hair to the side. "Our families told everyone else, and even people from the ball that... we're high school sweethearts... that broke up because someone broke us up." he said as he rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. 
                          
I looked at him weirdly for a second, "Wait. So you're telling me that we have to act like we've been dating for 3 years?!" I almost screamed before he covered my mouth to muffle it. He sighed, "Yes now will you please keep quiet about it and act like we've dated bef-" he suddenly stopped when we started hearing voices. Unfamiliar voices. 
                          
I don't know how, why, when, and or where, but somehow Hikaru's lips touched mine.
