My thought process states... "If you can't make fun of your own writing, why write?" LMAO I'm having so much fun writing this...if you think Ruka hates me now...just wait till the later chapters lol. Chapter length hasn't really been my best, but they're long enough lol Enjoy

My Redux

Chapter 3 – Trusting Haruka

"Why are you still reading that trash?" Haruka set a fresh cup of tea next to her love. She quickly took a step back when she saw the fiery look in her wife's eyes. "Are you alright?"

"Look at this!" She poked the screen at the summary for the next story on the list. She angrily said each of the words aloud. "Michiru Kaiou is a famous Violinist, but she has a deep dark secret that a newcomer to her school finds out. How long will is stay a secret?" She looked up at her Haruka. "How could she do that to me!"

Haruka took another step back before bursting into laughter. "You didn't have any problem when the stories were about me having a 'secret.' Why's it such a big deal when you've got a secret. And you don't even know what that secret is yet. You haven't started reading it."

"But baby based on her other two stories...it won't be good."

"Maybe it's just a simple. 'I'm gay' secret." Haruka mused at the thought. "Or maybe she's making you straight....oh god I hope not..." She shuttered as her mind wandered to the thought of her love with a man. "That's just disturbing."

"You're the only 'man' I want honey." Michiru took a sip of her tea and loaded the story, wearily reading each of it's words.

"Like I would announce to the entire high school, let alone a complete strange that I was gay, and not a man!"

"It shows you trust me honey." Michiru's smile quickly faded. "Revealed a fresh cut on the surface of her pale wrist."

Haruka's eyes lit up at the sight of her frowning wife. "See, it's not so nice when the story's about you hurting yourself is it?"

"I don't want to read anymore." She pouted and moved the mouse to close the web browser.

"Oh no you don't." Haruka smacked her wife's hand away from the mouse. "You continued reading when it was about me. So I want to continue reading when it's about you. And you're staying with me."

"But now she hates me!"

"Don't you see honey, she hates us both." Haruka clicked to move to the next chapter.

"Why would I just come right out and tell a stranger that I was hurting myself? I don't get that. I don't understand her thought process at all."

"Look at the date, this story's nearly 7 years old sweetheart. Maybe her writing skills have evolved some since then." Ruka mused.

"How dare you try to force me to talk to someone!" Michiru growled as she continued reading the chapter. Her expression soon turned to that of a frown. "She had my father molest me!?"

"Not nice is it?" Was all the blonde stated before moving on to chapter four.

Michiru was fuming by the end of chapter four. "If I'm such a famous violinist, why can't I pay my rent on time?"

"See, it's not nice when the story's about you now is it?"

"If you don't shut up you're sleeping on the sofa...I need to know what happens though..." Her curiosity was getting the best of her as they both continued reading.

Silence filled the room...

Tears of happiness sprung into Haruka's eyes as she jumped up to hug her friend. "Michiru..I thought I lost you." on impulse, she kissed Michiru. Who just looked at her, a confused smirk on her face. "I'm..I'm sorry."

Not a word was shared between them as their eyes met and at the same time, both roared with laughter. "You would do that too." Michiru poked.

"Minus the tears though. I don't cry."

"Yes you do." Michiru faught back.

"OK, that was one time, and the car hood landed on my hand OK!"

"Uh huh, what about when your bike's kickstand failed and the bike landed on your foot?"

Haruka pouted, her voice soft. "But that hurt..."

"Oh get over yourself, you were in a cast crying like a baby for a month."

"But it hurt!" She tried to fight back, but to no avail.

"But look, it's a sweet ending! She smiled out to her adoring fans as the curtains closed in front of her. She moved off to the side of the stage, and into the arms of Haruka. The only thing she didn't know, Haruka was taking her out to dinner that night... And proposing to her." She read the words with tears in her eyes. "I remember that night...she had to have read about it in the press about you proposing to me."

"The whole world knew about it my love."Haruka leaned in to kiss her wife passionately.
