"Coming!" I said but not loud enough to wake Michiru up. I grabbed the door knob and slowly opened it, unveiling a gray haired man standing right in front of me.

"Otou-san?" And it seems my day just can't get much luckier than this. Ahh.. shit!

Chapter 4

Haruka's POV

I felt my pulse raising, my armpit sweating not to mention my forehead. This is trouble! I'm in fucking deep shit right now! God are you punishing me?! I cursed under my breath and again turned to look at my gray haired father, trying my hardest to give off a smile. I started to laugh, unexpectedly and embarrassingly it was, that my father looked at me suspiciously. I stopped right away and gulped a huge bulge of nervousness/conscience down my throat. Breathing deeply in and out, I blurted out the first thing that had crossed my mind

"You look handsome otou-san." What the? I wrinkled my nose and thought about what I just said, then I realized how unnecessary it all was. My father sneered which only made me more awkward by the situation.

"So others say." luckily he took my sudden ridiculous outburst seriously and answered it quite arrogantly. I let out a forced smile as he laugh loudly onto his joke. He stopped and gave me a glare. Those cold glare of his gave a shiver to run down my spine making me gripped the door knob tighter. "How long would you let your old man stay outside your apartment? I have important things to say to you, Haru."

"Talk? You want to talk. Why don't we do this talking outside my apartment." I tried to close the door behind me and continued with convincing my father "The air feels great, the sun is bright, isn't it great just to walk outside?" and no matter how persistent and convincing I sound, my father seemed to ignore all of it and stepped inside my apartment. "Otou-san, my apartment's really messy right now." I followed him inside, hoping and praying Michiru won't walk out of my room or my father walking inside it.

"Nonsense Haru. I always wanted to see again your apartment." I sigh and finally gave up. He started walking to the living room which is in front and a meter away from my room. He was still standing and observing the surrounding, kept moving in circles to where he was standing. And unfortunately from where he stood is a clear view of my door. Again, our dear merciful God is slowly torturing me. Overwhelming worries and fears enclosed my rapidly beating heart. My ears suddenly perked up as soon as I heard my room's door knob opening. I looked behind my father and saw Michiru standing by the door frame wearing nothing but an over-sized shirt she got from my closet. Michiru froze as soon as she saw my father standing in front of her. I started to panic and her as well when my father suddenly decided to turn around from his position. In slow motion, I started running over my father, Michiru trying to hide, and father turning around. Finally, God decided to bestow a miracle upon me as I was in time to stop my father, by grabbing him by the shoulder and keeping him looking at the view opposite my room. I feel Michiru sighing in relief as she swiftly went to the bathroom down the hallway to hide. I led my father to the bookshelf and showed him some of my book collections.

When I finally thought I was free from any trouble, a familiar voice suddenly happily greeted me.

"Haru-chan!!" I turned around and my hopes abruptly fades away, as Saeki's face was all I had seen. How in God's name he got in?! "You shouldn't leave your door open, Haru-chan." my carelessness did backfired, and stupid of me to leave it open!! "Trouble might suddenly come in." he smiled and started to walk towards me and my father. Saeki, it already has...

"Ji-san! You look charming as ever." I had to gag at Saeki's pathetic attempt on sucking up to my father

"You're not bad yourself, Saeki." now I wonder why Saeki's isn't my father's son.. I sigh once gain and stopped their growing conversation by showing my father some trophies I had displayed. Too indulge with 'disturbing father plan', I had forgotten about my 'unwanted' friend. A couple of seconds past when Saeki's voice was heard once again.

"Haruka!" I turned around and noticed Saeki wasn't standing by our side anymore. "Haruka!" again his voice was heard but now a realization formed in me Shit! Bathroom! "Ms. Insecure Not-into-pick-up-lines is in your bathroom!" If it wasn't bad enough, my father's curiosity got the best of him as he only looked mischievously at me and started walking to where Saeki is. I tried to stop him but he only gave me a grin and spoke slyly "Haru has a girlfriend. That's interesting." I did everything in my power to stop my father but Saeki saying the same words over and over again made it all difficult to me.

My father finally stopped and looked at 'Ms Insecure Not-into-pick-up-lines', completely shocked. "Michiru!"

"Your stepmother? The one you had sex with?" and only Saeki could make things worst than they already are. My father looked at me then at Michiru with utter disgust. There was a long paused between the four of us, until Saeki once again decided to butt in.

"This is awkward.." Really, Saeki, can't you even shut your mouth?! I look back at my father who only threw me a frightening glare, one I haven't seen before. Out of nowhere, my father suddenly drew out a gun from his back and aimed it directly at me. What the fuck? Where oh where did he freaking get this gun?! I raised my arm up and tried my hardest to talk him out of doing it. In a blink of an eye, 3 gun shots was heard..

"Haruka!" I hear Michiru's voice.. "Haruka! Snap out of it!" I shook my head and saw Michiru waving her hand in front of my face. I looked down my body and started to check my body for any gunshot related wounds.Luckily I found none. I'm alive.. There was a huge sigh of relief in me as everything that had happened was only a dream.

"I found what I was looking for." I drifted my eyes back to Michiru and saw that she was holding a piece of earing in her delicate hand. "I should get home now." I nodded and stared at the window behind her. It's raining... I started walking to where Michiru was and watched her as she grab her purse and walk to the door. She started opening the door when I unconsciously shut the door in front of her. Michiru turned around, cocking her left eyebrow as she stared at me questioningly.

"It's raining. It's hard to find a cab at night and especially now that it's raining." I started to get nervous as her piercing blue eyes kept looking at me. I move my head away and rubbed the back of my neck "You should stay for the night." Haruka, what are you thinking?!! As if the dream wasn't enough to let you know that this isn't right!! She only smiled and once again I blushed.

Sleeping on the the sofa, is as not as relaxing as sleeping in your bed. But then again it's safer than sleeping in my bed right now. I lay my body, in as possible comfortable position I could be. After minutes of fighting with the sofa, lying my back straight, face up front the ceiling is the best I could get out of it. I stared at the white painted ceiling, humming softly as I waited for Michiru to finish with her bath. After another 30 minutes of showering, Michiru finally walks out of the bathroom.

"What are you doing there?" she asked. I sat up straight and stared at her as water dripped from her hair down her skin.

"This is where I'll be sleeping"

"The sofa isn't comfortable moreover a leather sofa." well she is right about that. But I can't sleep beside her. Who knows what might happen if we did sleep on the same bed again.

"This is fine with me." I answered her and returned back to my 'oh so comfortable' position and closed my eyes. A water dripping down my face disturbed me from my sleep. I opened my eyes and saw Michiru staring down at me. She grabbed my hand and lead me to my room "What are you doing?"

"You'll sleep on the bed beside me."

"I can't"

"If you don't, then I'll be the one to sleep on the couch instead."

"You can't"

"Then we just have to share the bed." we kept arguing over and over about the same subject until Michiru finally have won over me.

Michiru took her side of the bed, and laid her body comfortably on it. I, on the other hand, started grabbing the pillows in my living room and made some sort of wall separating the both of us.

"What are you doing?"

"Drawing out a boundary. This side is yours and this side is mine." thoroughly I explained to her what I was doing. She started giggling which of course resulted to me stopping from what I was doing and focused my attention to her. "What?"

"If you think I have plans of eating you, well again, you don't have to worry about that." she informed me with giggles in between. "Like I said what happened to us before will be the last of it."

"Well it's not like I'm expecting anything or you instigating about it again, it's just that the way you are right now, radiates something similar to it."

"Am I that alluring?" she asked. I placed the last pillow in my hand and finally I was done with building the wall. I turned to face her and smiled.

"You do so always test my mind and my body." she started laughing. I laid on the bed and turned to my side to look at her "So, are you really in love with my father?"

She stopped from laughing and likewise turned her body sideways so to face me "Your father was the first person who ever helped me. I was an aspiring violinist before when I met your father. He funded my studies and soon I was able to go to Europe."

"Do you love him?" asked her again

"I care for him."

"So you're marrying my father cause you feel obligated in doing so?" I inquired. She paused and stared directly into my eyes. I stared back at her blue orbs as I waited for her to answer.

"Obligated or not obligated, marrying out of love or not for love, marriage is both anyway. As long as I feel secured around him, then it's all I needed. Loving the person would come after it."

"Isn't that sympathetic?" I bluntly told her and she laughed softly. "Love is what forms marriage to begin with."

"Then why is man who loves man greatly can't marry each other?" she said arrogantly as she give off a smirk.

"We homosexuals love so much that marriage can't handle it." I told her proudly, a grin on my face. She started to give off those soft yet enchanting laugh of hers. My face started to soften as I stare at the beauty in front of me. She suddenly stopped and returned my gaze. I opened my mouth and spoke my next words gently "Love is, after all, the passion that we feel inside of our hearts that we can't hide. We pretend to hide it, but it burns us more and more until the pain grows and grows and it never ends." she smiles, real and true it was. And it was heartfelt, warming every part of my heart.

"Romantic, aren't you?" she replied back. I smiled and showed her the book I was holding

"Hey I read Jane Austen's novels, I should be one."

"What's the book for?" she asked while I sat up straight from the bed

"Need something to distract myself with." she smiled once again and I did the same. I opened the book and started reading where I left off. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Michiru turning around as her back faced my sides and went to take a sleep. After a while, soft feminine snore was heard. I started laughing under my breath as I closed the book in my hand. Placing it on the desk beside the bed, I positioned myself back to bed and faced Michiru's back. Carefully, I started removing the pile of pillows I built between us and placed it on the floor. I moved closer and wrapped my arm around Michiru's waist. I leaned my head on her back and smiled at how fitting this all is. How my heart aches and smiles at the same time. and how my body is comfortable with her. I closed my eyes and whispered under my breath Just for now..

-Next Morning-

Haruka's POV

The sun finally lit up my whole room down my face, waking me up from my sleep. Once my eyes were full opened, I looked around and saw Michiru's serene sleeping face and her body cuddling close to mine. My arm around her waist and her hand on top of my chest as her head used my shoulder as her pillow. I smiled at how endearing the sight was and gently massage the her side, receiving a soft murmur from her.

Soon enough, a loud knocking at my door was heard. I grabbed Michiru's hand gently and slowly removed it from my chest. I sat up straight and stretched both of my arms up. Being patient the person was, again a loud knock was made. I stood up and left Michiru sleeping peacefully in my bed. I started walking to my door as once again a knock was made but now a rhythm was formed. I grabbed the door knob and before I opened it, something had hit my mind Something like this happened before. Don't tell me?!

Slowly I opened the door, and his wide bright annoying smile had welcomed me.

"Ohayo, Haru-chan!"

"Saeki?!" What more is there for me?!
