2. Pretty in Pink

(In this chapter, Syo/Natsuki get in on the fun, Haruka gets more well-wishes and more craziness ensues. Once again, anyone you recognize is the property of UtaPri and its creators. And I'm sorry if it sounds OCC)

Haruka was a little surprised at someone remembering her birthday...especially since the only

person that she had told was Tomo-chan. Nevertheless, she was quite happy to see that two dear

friends had remembered despite the fact that she really didn't like the fuss. Especially when Otoya

was staring daggers at Cecil who was too busy holding her to even notice. He looked up and

smiled, "Oh, hi!"

"Cecil..Cecil-san" Otoya's still at a loss for words until he realized that he had to calm down for

Haruka's sake. The birthday girl herself eased the tension in the room by opening both gifts; both

were actually really lovely: one was jewelry from Otoya while the other was "the flower that is

native to my country and means simply 'Beloved of the Muses'"

Touched, Haruka hugged her thanks to both(causing both men to blush furiously) and grinned,

"Thank you both! This means a lot."

Meanwhile, in another part of the dorm, another student was sitting in his room, busy studying

his lines for his upcoming guest role in a drama. Thanks to his recent spot in Hyuga-sensei's newest

film, a film company wanted to get Syo for a guest starring/possible recurring role in the TV

adaptation of a hit manga and was deep in thought when his roommate returned, bearing what

looked like an explosion at a Sanrio store.

"Syo-chaaaaaan", Natsuki grabbed him "I got some stuff!"

"If you put me in any of that pink crap, Natsuki, I swear I'll-"

"It's not for you". The smiling tall blond showed the goodies. "It's for Haru-chan of course!"

Yeah right, Syo was thinking but on the outside, "You know, don't you think bribing Nanami is a

little too much?"

"It's not bribing" Natsuki explained. "It's her birthday today."

"NANI?!"

"Yep" Natsuki grinned, "It's her birthday. So, I"d thought I'd do something nice for Haru-

chan...to show her how I feel."

"I should go get her something then..." Inside though Syo was seething. How could I forget

something like that? Then he left his otaku-ish roommate alone for awhile.

to be continued...

So, what shall Syo get her? :D And next time...probably Ren and Masa will show up. Time to sex it up some :P

Thank you to everyone who gave me reviews. I'll try and update this as often as I can!
