A/N: So guys! I am so so so so super happy right now! I just got home from a suuuuuuper exhausting day, and then I got on fanfiction and guess who got a review on her story!? I DID!

to maixmaruforever159 ~ No, I didn't really base it off of Itazura Na Kiss, but I really loved that show. Kotoko is just adorable! :D

to Guest ~ Thank you very much! I'm glad that you think Lin is funny! I actually based him off of my friend Riona, she is a lot like Lin but laughs more often. c:

to Naruisawesome ~ Yea, Lin, as I said, is based off of Riona and she is always right-to-the-point about everything xD.

Anyway, On with the show! c:

Naru POV

Mai and I went out to the new sushi place as told. Mai had Sake Nigiri and I had Hamachi. We ate, and Mai struck up conversation.

"Hey Naru?" She asked, looking at me with her eyes that she had no idea affected me so much.

"What?" I scowled, and thought that it sounded kind of mean. "What is it that you need, Mai?" I asked, mentally jumping.

Nailed it.

"So, if we're living together, then which room will I take?" she asked, a slight blush creeping upon her adorable face.

"Mine of course." I said. I'm such an ass.

Mai nearly yelled out, and her blush got even deeper. Adorable! Mai took a deep breath. "Okay. But won't you get annoyed with me quickly?" She asked. "Already doubting yourself, eh?" I thought, and laughed internally.

"Probably." I sighed. I wasn't helping. But it was adorable to see her reactions. "I dunno... It all depends. I mean, I-" I stopped myself. It was about to slip out. Eh, fuck it. "I do love you." I stated.

Mai's eyes widened and I sighed.

"Y-You do?" She stuttered. I laughed. Not internally this time. Then I sighed.

"Yes. I love you." I stated, as if it were obvious. Mai's face was a deep scarlet, and she was fidgeting and looking everywhere but me.

"I-I mean, h-how can you l-l-love me? I-I though th-that you have always hated me, N-Naru... I mean..." She trailed off without ending her sentence.

"Is it that hard for your non-existent brain cells to take in?" I just had to get a tease in. "I. Love. You. Mai. If I didn't, then why would I be offering you a room in my own home?" I asked, clearly making a point.

"W-Well I mean, you said that you had to know all the living situations about your employees including me so I just thought that you were being kinda even though that kind of rarely happens at all..."

Mai sighed.

I sighed.

"Mai. Since when am I kind?" I asked.

"I guess you've got a point..." she stated. Wow. Am I really that mean?

"Here Mai. Let me prove something to you. Give me your hand." Mai dragged her hand from underneath the table and held it out for me to take. I started tracing the lines on her hand. "See that? It's and 'N' for 'Naru', also known as the name that you have known me as since day one. That just means that we're destined to be together. And also, if that isn't enough proof," I intertwined my fingers with hers, " Look how well our hands fit together." Mai blushed and smiled. I kept my hand in hers and we sat like that for a few minutes before i realized that time was probably flying. I looked at my watch on my other hand seeing that the time was around 1:30 PM. Shit. We won't have time to move some of Mai's stuff. Whatever. We will do it anyway. Lin can just wait. It isn't like Mai hadn't already finished her work.

"Mai, we need to go now to go and get your stuff. You're all done with all the work you had, right?" Mai smiled.

"Yup!" She chirped. She untangled her hand from mine and then got her bag which she had set on the floor. She took the tray that had all of our trash from the food and dumped the trash away, returning the small tray to the front counter before coming back over to me and smiling.

"Let's go!" She said, and waited for me to stand before exiting the small diner.

Mai POV
"Holy. Hell. Ohmaigoshohmaigoshohmaigoshohmaigoshohmaigosh! Naru loves me!? Impossible! He even grabbed my hand! I'm kind of scared to leave work today. Coming back tomorrow and just seeing that he didn't mean it... That just might kill me. But what if he really means it? Oooooooooh that'd be amazing! This feels like a dream! If it is, I don't want to wake up yet!"

I had gotten into Naru's car and buckled up, waiting for Naru to do the same. He also got in and started his car. I sighed, and took a deep breath.

"Hey Naru?" He looked at me.

"I love you too." I said, already feeling a wide smile break out on my face. Naru smiled, wait, WHAT!? Did Naru, the King Of Cold, just smile at me!? Oh this is a happy day! Anyway, Maru smiled at me then pulled out of the parking lot. I looked out the window, seeing cars go by, before we moved out onto the road. After a few minutes, I felt a slender finger poking my waist. I looked over to see a smirking Naru and I blushed wildly.

I gasped dramatically. "Naru!" I said, in a scolding tone. He chuckled and then shrugged.

"What? I didn't do anything!" he claimed, with a smirk. I felt the finger on my waist again and I laughed, before poking him back.

He caught my finger as I was pulling back and held it there before interlocking his fingers with mine. Again, I blushed. I felt Gene around me, and braced for one helluva mental battle.

'Hey Mai!' I could literally feel him wink at me.

'Gene. I will give you credit. You called it. Good job. I'm happy. Really. Thank you.'

'Yeah you better damned well be happy! This took years of bothering both you and Naru to admit you loved each other. Go ahead. Ask him. How long has Naru loved Mai?' Again, I could feel his wink and smile. I shuddered.

Naru felt that somehow and looked over at me. "Everything all right?" He asked, an eyebrow raised in question.

"Yea. But I have a question." He nodded. "How long?"

"How long what?"

"How long... have you, uhm, loved me?" I had trouble letting that fall out.

'Go Mai!' I heard Gene cheer, and Naru looked shocked at my question.

"Well... For quite some time now... Around the middle of the year of your last year in school. I saw you with Yasu and I got jealous and I realized it..." He was blushing. He. Was. Blushing. HOLY HELL THERE IS A FIRST FOR EVERYTHING BUT I NEVER THOUGHT THIS DAY WOULD COME! We pulled into the parking lot of my apartment building.

I exited the car quietly and waited for Naru to do the same. Then I decided to be devious. A deadly smile spread it's way across my face and I crept around the back of the car. I ran and jumped on Naru from behind, latching on with my hands around his neck and my legs around his waist. He jumped slightly, clearly he didn't see me creep around the car. Then he put his arms under my legs to support me on his back. Maybe Gene was bothering Naru? Eh. Naru started walking towards the building and then stopped for a moment in front of the building to open the door and exit. I was still on his back. I saw Mrs. Clarenway at her desk and I waved with a large grin.

"Hi Mrs. Clareway! Hey Naru, could ya put me down?"

"What do you mean, 'put you down?' You jumped onto me in the first place." He scowled. Naru removed his arms from under my legs and I unwrapped my arms from his neck and fell to the ground. I walked over to the slack-jawed Mrs. Clarenway and the pushed her chin up.

"Don't leave your mouth open, you will catch flies." I said, pulling her into a hug. She pretty much bear-hugged me and squeezed the life out of me before letting go. She smiled, and then turned towards her office.

"MARUWA! MISS MAI IS BACK FOR A FEW MINUTES!" She yelled, and Maruwa came bounding out of the office. She ran and then jumped into me. I caught her and spun her around in a hug, and she was giggling the whole time.

"Onee-Chan!" SHe said, as she was put down.

"What?" I asked, with a smile.

"I drew a picture!" She said, and then grabbed my hand and pulled me into the office. "No not really, Onee-Chan. I just wanted to ask you a question."

"Sure! What is it, Maru?" I asked, and sat down in the black rolling chair in front of the computer.

"Onee-Chan, is that your husband?" She asked, and I blushed madly.

"No! Maruwa! No no!" I laughed. "I love that man very much, but we aren't married."

"Oh... You two should be. You look good together!" She winked and then bounded out the office, jumping on Mrs. Clarenway's back as I had done to Naru. I laughed and then walked after her and stopped next to Naru.

"Mars. Clarenway, we're only here to grab a few things to move to his place." I said, pointing at Naru. Then I realized. "Oh! This is Naru! He's my boss!" Mrs. Clarenway looked shocked. Me and her may or may not have talked about Naru anytime she came over... Heh heh...

"Oh! I've heard so much about you! It's nice to meet you!" She said, with a wink. "You're moving all your stuff to his place?" She asked, turning to me.

"Yeah. He was kind enough to offer me a room in his home because it was really big and empty and stuff." I said, with a smile.

"Mai, we're pressed on time."

I nodded.

"Well it was nice meeting you, kid!" She said, and then turned towards her desk.

"Yes, you too." He said, before making his way up to my room. He didn't even know where it was though, so I ran ahead of him. "That is Mrs. Clarenway, I assume. She has a daughter?" He asked.

"Yea, I guess so... I just found out today, actually." I said, and we reached the second flight of stairs. I stopped in front of my door and dug out my key. I unlocked the door and then set my bag down by the door as I always did when I entered my home.

"I'm going to call Lin and tell him that we are moving your stuff to my place. That we will be back around 2:30. We will only do one load, but its 2:01 currently so 2:30 ish should be around the time we get back." He said, and then pulled out his phone, which was of course black.

"Okay!" I said, and then went into my room to move 4 boxes, and 2 bags into the living room. The first bow was really heavy so I opted to push it. It was still too heavy to push. "Hey Naru?" I called. I tried pushing it again because he was taking a second to get in here. I pushed and pushed and pushed but I lost my footing on the wooden floor. My socks slipped and I fell forward, banging my head against the floor. I blacked out and I honestly don't know what happened.

Naru POV

I heard a bang and a small shout and I ran. I dropped the phone on the ground, not caring if it would break, and ran into the room that I assume was Mai's. I saw her on the ground with a soon-to-form monster bruise on her forehead and she was out cold. I moved over to her as quickly as possible and then I picked her up off of the ground. I ran out the door and down two flights of stairs to Mrs. Clarenway.

"Mrs. Clarenway! Please! Help her, I don't know what happened I just heard a bang and she-" I stopped as she was taken from my arms by Mrs. Clarenway. She moved into a room that had a bed, sink, restroom, small kitchen and a large window. I think it was her room? I don't know.

"Oh baby doll, how'd this happen?" She sighed and laid Mai down on the bed. Maruwa came into the room and gasped.

"Momma! What happened to Onee-Chan?" She cried, then ran over to Mai's side.

"I don't know, and neither does her husband here." I blushed. I really wasn't going to correct her yet, just let her figure it out on he-

"I thought they weren't married!" Maruwa cried. "I'm confuzzed..." She held her head in her hands.

"Confuzzed?" I asked.

Mrs. Clarenway interjected here. "She refuses to say confused correctly. I don't know why... It's like that with a number of other words too..."

I chuckled kind of. It was that fake laugh that I display in front of strangers. I think that I really only ever let my guard down around Mai...

About an hour later...

Mai finally came to. She sat up slowly and found herself searching for someone. Her eyes landed on me and she smiled. Mrs. Clarenway had already wrapped her head in bandages and had replaced them once because she had a faulty wrap at first.

"Hello!" she chirped at me. I moved over to her as she sat up and then took her head in my hands. I moved it down, looking at the back of her head, up and tilted it back, looking at her chin and neck, then down to where she was facing me and I looked at her forehead. I smiled and then lean forward, placing the gentlest of kisses on her forehead.

"Hello." I greeted and then pulled back. Her face was blushing like crazy. Good.

She stood and then yawned. "Let's get back to the office. We will move all the boxes together on tomorrow. Okay?" She said.

"Okay." I said. "Oh shit. I'll be right back, I left my phone in your room."

"'Kay!" She chirped and I ran up to her room. I opened the unlocked door and then spotted my phone on the ground. It was still in call with Lin. Weird. He didn't hang up? I picked it up and held it to my ear.

"Lin? Are you still there?" I asked as a test of sorts.

"Yes." I heard on the other line. "What happened? Was Mai hurt?" he asked.

"Yes. She fell and was knocked out. We've been at her apartment building and are leaving in a few minutes."

"Okay. Hurry back."

"Yea." I said, and hung up. I locked the door before leaving and then ran down the steps to meet Mai.

We left the building and made our way back to the office and basically had a regular day after that.
