Hi guys! My third attempt at being a fulfilled author! I'm a bit like the twins ^.^ I keep going until I lose interest. Sorry to anyone who read my first two stories. I might continue them later though. Until then enjoy this! Takashi and Haruhi are my favorite couple as of right now!

Disclaimer~ I OWN OHSHC!!! not.... Trust me if I did it would be Mori and Haru-chan ALL THE WAY!!! *sigh* -_- Until then, I do NOT own the anime/manga/or characters. I just like to put them it that bubble above my head and see what they do. ^.~

"Am I close to your heart?" Nobou asks. I smiled gently the phone pressed firmly to my ear. My reply was confident.

"Of course you are Nobou. You always will be." There was a short pause before my lover answered hesitantly. "Haruhi…" He said lamely, "I think you should break up with me," My mouth hang open and my eyes widened considerably. "Wha-! Why, is something wrong?" I finally managed to sputter out. My mind racing to figure out what I had done wrong. Was it because I didn't want to be intimate with him when we were still young? Maybe it was because I had come on to strong. I was panicking and my mind was spinning around the different possibilities. Each one thought worse than the next.

"Actually, yes. I don't want to lie. The truth is I only ever really wanted sex from you. I thought that after we did it, I would break up with you. I'm sorry Haruhi, I don't want to hurt you. I'm not your Romeo. I'm just a liar," The two plunged into a sea of silence. No sounds came from either side of the phone besides the constant static. I was drowning, my mouth gaping, but no air entered my lungs. My mind was screaming to say something, anything! My body held still not having any intention to obey the desperate command. Finally someone spoke.

"Oh. Thank you for telling me. I think maybe we should be apart. If you'll excuse me, I have things to do." They said monotonously. No wait, that was…me? I hadn't even noticed my voice leave my lips. It was almost automatically that my reply came. My brain acted as if in a long coma. That proves it, I lost it. I've gone crazy.

"Ah, okay. I'm really sorry Haruhi." I hung up and held the phone clenched in my hand. I stared as my knuckles turned pale.

My gaze was only interrupted when a wet droplet landed on the back of my hand and slide towards my thumb and off my fist. Slowly I raised the opposite hand to my face and brushed a finger against the soft skin beneath my eye. I shifted my arm away. I found my finger glistening with fresh, salty tears.

I closed my eyes as more tears fell like a small river and rolled down the distraught curves of my face. I held my fist close to my heart as my chest tightened with pain. It was getting more difficult to breathe freely. It's been so long, I thought bitterly. I almost forgot what it feels like to cry.
