"Yo! You okay?" Hikaru pokes his head in my room where I've been laying in my bed for about twenty minutes.

"Yeah... no... I don't know..." I say, not facing my brother.

"Did something happen?" Hikaru sat on the side of my bed.

"I... I kissed her."

"Wow... Already?"

"It was an accident. I mean, no it wasn't. It just... happened."

Silence.

"Hey, Kaoru?"

"What?"

"She... Akane can tell us apart. Did you know that?" If I knew this two hours ago, it would've been more of a surprise. Now, it wasn't very shocking.

"No. No I didn't." I start to replay the kiss in my mind for the hundreth time. Her soft, warm lips were so... they were so nice to feel--

Hikaru whacks me with a pillow.

"What now?" I complain.

"Get your head out of the clouds, Kaoru. Obviously things aren't going as great between you and her."

"I applaud you for your observation." I say, taking the pillow off of my face.

"Since that's the case," Hikaru ignores me. "Invite her over tomorrow. Talk to her. Clear things up. Make things less complicated. Explain. If you like her, then tell her."

"I love her, Hikaru." I sit up and finally face my brother. He ruffles my already messed-up hair,

"Well, then. That would make things more complicated wouldn't it?" I fall back onto the bed again.

"I know."
