[Hikaru regretted ever voicing gay aliens to Taichi. Very much so because after it came out of his mouth and he knew how much he had hurt Taichi, it had been immediately obvious that it probably wasn't some weird alien thing that had happened. But Taichi hadn't wanted to dwell on it, Hikaru had been terrified of saying something stupid again, and effectively losing Taichi even as a friend.
Kaoru had told him before that it was better that he wait and see. Hikaru was taking that advice a little too late because now really wasn't the time to wait and see when he'd already effectively confessed and then took it back. Oops.
But by now, it's become more and more obvious that Hikaru just simply liked Taichi. Maybe he'd never liked a guy before but it wasn't like he had much experience in the way of crushes (or ones that he knew of but that was also a tale for another day because anything about Haruhi would definitely be too much to think about). So he likes Taichi and Hikaru's come to accept that. When they call each other every night, Hikaru flirts without much thought at all and today it was still something he did on their shopping trip. This is probably what somebody would call "leading somebody on" when Hikaru hasn't said anything in over a month about where they stand.
So when the flash mob happens, Hikaru's staring in shock. What are these clothes? What is this song choice? What is even going on? Is that Tamaki? And by the time Taichi's joining in, Hikaru wonders if this is some meme thing that Taichi had told him about. Or would that be a challenge? He wouldn't have invited Hikaru along to do this because Hikaru would have quickly said no. Also his ass says juicy and Hikaru is definitely staring at that.
But then Taichi is going to him, and he's on his knees, and he's asking him to go out with him.
And Hikaru is frozen, head empty, and what is he supposed to do?! If he were thinking then he should be happy. Taichi still likes him. Taichi still wants to go out with him and he'd been worried about that too. Will Hikaru be his boyfriend? Yes? The answer is obviously yes! But what comes out instead is:]
I...I...I'll tell you later? Tomorrow? Maybe? Or maybe...I don't know! J-just give me a moment! [He's backing up, stuttering. This is just a lot.] Um, thanks? For uh. All this and today? Yeah. Thanks. See you tomorrow! Maybe? Here's your bags! [At least he gives Taichi back his clothes before he's running off like a total idiot/asshole.]
sighs deeply...let's get this over with...
