So Much

A/N: Because I am upset with this lack of HaruTaka in the anime.

ANIME-VERSE

If this was manga/novel/song verse it would have been different. So basically, this a one-shot collection of what happens AFTER the anime, because I really felt they left out a lot of stuff. This is a HaruTaka reunion. Next is either going to be a HibiHiyo one-shot or Ayano/MekakushiTrio oneshot.

She waited along with the rest of then Dan. Her feet on the hard metal floor. Haruka was going to get his body back. Takane suddenly felt numb, she couldn't feel anything. Her mind had gone blank on what to do. But suddenly, he stepped out of the test tube, footsteps echoed. He had gotten his body back. Haruka was flesh, blood, and soul in front of her.

Takane could hear the faint mumblings from the Dan, but she could only focus on the boy in front of her. Her heart was beating so fast – she was surprised no one heard it. The only light coming from the test tubes themselves, she was left in the shadow of the cold room.

Everyone was congratulating the boy that had once known as Konoha, but Takane stood in place. She could see Mary in the corner of her eye trying to compare his and Seto's height. Shintaro and Ayano talking enthusiastically with him.

She blocked them out completely afterwards. He looked tired and weak, but smiling, talking to the Dan crowded around him.

Takane felt it was eternity standing there. Haruka, the person she hadn't seen in two years. He had the same bed-head, the same pale skin, even the same mole. He was as tall as ever, his limbs too long. He was the only person who actually tried to open her doors, who wanted to talk to her. He was the only one who stuck with her. His soft smile was breathtaking. She could go on and on about Haruka.

God, he was just so beautiful.

She could feel her hands trembling, her throat tightening. She had never imagined meeting Haruka again. But she had waited, and now he was there. She tried to regain control of herself by clenching her fists. But she was uncontrolled.

Suddenly, everyone was staring at her – even Haruka.

She felt cold, colder than the room she was in. Had he remembered her? Did he not want to see her anymore? She felt scared, helpless, and stupid. Like a defenseless puppy or something.

"Takane." Even his voice was the same.

She hadn't been called 'Takane' in years.

She willed herself to walk towards Haruka. She was completely out of character. In front of the Dan too! Each footstep, she dreaded and longed at the same time. She wanted to embrace him and whisper sweet nothings. But she wanted to run away and never come back. She felt her head splitting, she didn't know anymore.

"Haruka." Her voice cracked, damn. Her eyes were stinging. What was she? A crybaby? She felt like she was in some kind of picture book.

Everything happened too quickly. His arms were wrapped around her, his face buried in the crook of her neck. He felt so warm and safe. He felt like home.

Takane heard Ayano mutter something, and footsteps were heard. Were they alone? The air felt empty, the audience was gone. Takane felt herself relax a bit more, this was more comfortable.

"I missed you so much," He said, his words muffled. His arms tightened around her.

"Me too."

God, she loved him so much.

They stood there, for who knows how long. Until Haruka finally let go of her. "Sorry." He muttered, shrugging his arms sheepishly.

"No, no it's okay." She looked around, apparently they were alone. Alone in the dark, cold laboratory. "Sit."

He did, he was tired and Takane knew it. "So, you've changed Takane." He said, leaning back on his hands, trying to relax himself.

"You've changed too, Haruka."

She studied his smile, it was the same as always. Takane wiped her eyes and felt her lips twitch upwards. Did he remember those moments they shared in high school?

"That's true." He said. "It was a long two years."

"Two years." She repeated.

It was silent. They were both thinking, of course they didn't know what to say. Some things were just known without being said.

"You are so beautiful, Takene."

She pinched his cheek. What a great way to start their reunion. "Don't say such stupid things." She said.

He just smiled. And she knew that they were okay. "Takane, I wanted to see you again." He said.

How did he look so relaxed and happy about this? Takane could barely control her own heartbeat, but he was just saying all these things without a care in the world.

Maybe she needed to tell him too.

"Haruka, I-" She faltered, she really couldn't do this. Maybe she should just yell it and run? Or maybe just run. "H-haruka."

"Hmn?"

She can't believe she was doing this. She had wanted to do this for years, and at this moment she couldn't? Her eyes were focused on the ground, her arms shaking. She was probably red as well.

She inhaled. She could do this. After all, at this moment, she was Takane Enemoto!

That lowered her self-confidence so much more.

"I'll go first." She heard Haruka say. She lifted her head up. What was he going to say?

Haruka inhaled. Haruka being nervous? Well, this was new.

"Takane, you are the most amazing person I have ever met in my life. And I am in love with you."

Her body was numb again, her eyes wide in shock. How was she going to react? She had stopped breathing. He said it so simple.

He was just smiling though.

"Haruka." Okay, she was going to do it this time. "Haruka, I love you."

As soon as the words were out, he could feel his smile widen. "N-now, don't say anything." She could feel herself heat up.

"Should we go now?" He asked, sitting up now. Sitting in front of her.

"Let's go, Haruka."

She didn't pull away as he held her hand.
