Notes: Here we are again, my third fanfic, you know the drill, please leave comments and questions. =]

Disclaimer: I do not own Rave Master or any titles or stuff related to it. This is just a fanfic. This applies to all of the chapters of this story. Thanks.

Setting: Literally right after Haru's fight with Sieg Hart, and yes I do know I kind of jumped past a few things, this just leaves more room for extra stories after the main body.

Warnings: I guess there is a little bit of a lime near the end of this chapter. Be forewarned.

Haru X Elie:

The Full Story

Chapter 3: Realization

"Why do I feel so strange when I'm around Elie-Chan?" Haru asked himself. "It feels so weird, but in such a good way. I don't know if she feels the same way, but if she does..." Both he and Elie had decided to take a walk before heading back to the hotel to meet with Musica. Since they started Haru kept his eyes on Elie. "I don't think I could handle it if she weren't in my life." Haru thought again.

"Hey Haru?" The sound of Elie's voice broke through Haru's turmoil of thoughts and startled him back into reality.

"Damn, her voice sounds so beautiful." "Yeah Elie? Haru asked.

"I don't know how to thank you, you know."

"Thank me? Why does she want to thank me?" "Thank me?"

"Yeah, you saved me remember?" Elie teased.

"Than doesn't count." Haru stated.

"And why not?" Elie asked slightly hurt.

"I promised I would protect you, right?"

"Yes, bu-"

" 'A promise is the most important thing.' my sister always said, and you don't need to thank me for fulfilling a promise." Haru interrupted. There was a small silence between the two, and when Haru looked into Elie's face he saw the traces of a blush.

"Than can I thank you for making that promise?" Elie asked.

"I don't think that's overstepping any rules." Haru grinned as he spoke.

"Then thank you, Haru-Maki, for promising to protect me." Elie laughed.

"We should get back to the hotel and Musica, he's probably worried sick about us." Haru said, laughing at the thought of Musica being worried.

"Yeah you're probably right." Elie laughed along with him. They walked the rest of the way to the hotel in companionable silence. When they walked up to their suite they were jumped by Musica.

"And just where the hell have you two been?" Musica asked nonchalantly as they walked through the doorway.

"We were just walking, Musica, what did you think we were doing?" Elie teased Musica. "In any case, I'm going to take a shower."

"Thats good, I need to have a word with Haru here." said Musica as Elie walked away. As soon as Musica heard Elie turn on the water he turned to Haru.

"So?" Musica asked.

"So, what?"

"So, how did things go?

"Oh I don't know, I just can't stop thinking about Elie-Chan." Haru said.

"Ha ha, I knew you had it in you. I knew you loved someone."

"Love?" Haru asked.

"Yeah, y'know, girl-friends, sex, getting married, having children that kind of stuff." After Musica finished his sentence Haru almost choked.

"Sex...With ELIE?" He thought, "I never really thought of that but...AHH, no bad thoughts, bad thoughts, stop thinking!"

"I can see you're still confused, you have had a girl-friend before, right Haru?" Musica asked.

"Well, no. When I lived on Garage Island, none of the girls seemed to appeal to me, and I had an overprotective sister who watched my every romantic whim." Haru replied.

"Wait, so....so you're saying...That the Rave Master...has never had a girl-friend before?" Musica snickered.

"No, I haven't." At this point Musica had barely been containing his laughter, and immediately began to shake violently at Haru's response before breaking into laughter.

"Th-th-the R-Rave Master....N-n-never ha-had a girl-girlfriend." Musica said between laughing fits.

"Ugh, this is pointless, I'm not discussing it with you." Haru seethed.

"But, you do love her?" Musica asked seriously for a change. After a long moment of silence where all that could be heard was running water. Haru said, "Yes, I love Elie." and stalked off to bed to get some sleep. The last thought he had was a picture of Elie and thinking, "I love her."

After starting to run the water for her shower Elie remembered that she still needed the shampoo in their supplies bag. She walked towards the living room where the two guys were talking. She couldn't help but hear Musica ask, "So how did things go?" What does he mean by how did things go? Elie thought to herself. She moved to stand near the door frame to the living room so she could hear better.

"Ha ha, I knew you had it in you, I knew you loved someone." Musica said. "Loved someone, what does he mean 'loves someone', I want to know."

"Love?" Haru asked.

"Yeah, y'know, girl-friends, sex, getting married, having children that kind of stuff." "Girl-friends, sex, why is he talking about this with Haru?

"I can see you're still confused, you have had a girl-friend before, right Haru?" Musica asked.

"Well, no. When I lived on Garage Island, none of the girls seemed to appeal to me, and I had an overprotective sister who watched my every romantic whim." Haru replied. "Wait so Haru never had a girl-friend?"

"Wait, so....so you're saying...That the Rave Master...has never had a girl-friend before?" Musica snickered.

"No, I haven't." Haru said, and Musica began to laugh. "Don't laugh at him, I know exactly how he feels not having a girl-friend or boyfriend ever."

"Th-th-the R-Rave Master....N-n-never ha-had a girl-girlfriend." Musica said between laughing fits.

"Ugh, this is pointless, I'm not discussing it with you." Haru seethed. "Uh-oh, I might need to get out of here soon."

"But, you do love her?" Musica asked seriously. "Who is Musica talking about, ugh just say it already. Wait...What if...Haru is in love with me?" Elie thought, "That would be amazing, I wish he loved me as much as I loved him." Elie sighed. "I guess that's it then, it can't be me..." Elie's thoughts dispersed so she barely caught his last words, the words that would shake her world.

"Yes, I love Elie." "HE WHAT? She asked herself, "H-h-h-he l-loves m-m-me?" Her mind was jumbled up, she couldn't think straight, all she could thing was, "He loves me!" Elie felt like she was going to faint, her shower long forgotten. "Oh, thank you, thank you. Haru loves me! Haru loves me!" She thought. "Oh how will he tell me, will he be romantic, or will he just say it bluntly?" Elie continued to get her shampoo and took her shower, all the while thinking about her and Haru. Then she went to lie in the bed next to his. She thought one last thing before sleeping. "Haru loves me!"
