As promised, here is chapter 7. This is the Ren x Haruka chapter (Still some Syo x Haruka in it near the end) and it's a little OOC by accident and I apologize, I couldn't help myself. Anyways, enjoy ~

Morning came to pass and it was now late afternoon and Haruka was still sleeping. Syo had woken up around noon, but it was now about 2:30 in the afternoon and he had lost hope of her waking up anytime soon, so he went downstairs to see how the other 6 members of STARISH were holding up. Of course, everyone was up and waiting in the living room, some were drinking coffee, others watching the local news of how a nasty storm was heading their way, and the lone Masato reading another Japanese novel he had found.

Time passed and still no sign of Haruka waking up. It was about 4:30 and most the boys had to get going to work for photo shoots or interviews for television, typical things that famous people do. Everyone had left the dorm besides Ren. He didn't have work and he didn't need to do any sort of shopping either. It was just him and Haruka alone in the dorms. Beings that none of the other men would be home until late, he decided to go check on his dear lady.

Once he reached her door, he softly knocked.

"Little lamb, are you awake?" He spoke the words clearly but he heard no response. Without thinking, he opened her door and walking in. He shut the door behind him and made his way to her bed. Kneeling down at the side of her bed, he laid his head on the soft mattress. What he didn't know is that Haruka was awake.

"My dear lady, I'm sorry for yelling at you like I did. I realize that you were going through a lot and I was just concerned, more worried actually. My rage got the best of me when I found out you were being hurt. You're such a gentle lady; you don't deserve to live a life of hell..." Ren said the words quietly, but she heard them perfectly.

Haruka was lying facing him, eyes closed, but he noticed tears from the corner of her eyes. He then knew that she had heard his every word of apology.

"Jinguji-san..." She whispered.

Hearing her words, he sat on the edge of her bed and wiped away fresh tears from her eyes. After doing so, Haruka opened her beautiful honey colored eyes and sat up. She positioned herself right next to the long blond haired man. She looked at him with such innocent eyes.

Ren suddenly felt a wave of guilt hit him and he just wanted to leave the room and run away from the feeling. Without a second thought, he had stood up and began walking towards the door. But, before he could speak his goodbye, Haruka had gotten up from the bed and run to him; hugging him from behind.

"Jinguji-san, please don't leave. Not yet at least." Haruka tightened her grip around his toned body.

"I- I..." Ren was at a loss for words in that moment. Shouldn't she be upset with him or scared of him still?

Within her grasp, he managed to turn around so she was hugging his front. Haruka just buried her face in his chest, her way of telling him that she had forgiven him for his yelling. Ren wrapped his arms around her as well, but felt weak in the knees. Not even moments later, he'd fallen to his knees, taking Haruka with him beings as she wouldn't let go, leaving both of them on their knees, hugging.

Ren had held onto her and rested his head on her shoulder. She tilted her head to rest on his and held the man filled with guilt and sorrow. She didn't push him away like he had thought she would... Suddenly, Ren tightened his grip around Haruka's waist and... Wait, was he shaking? For the first time ever, Ren was crying in front of her. This definitely wasn't like him to cry or act so... so weak... he was actually showing his weak side to her.

Haruka wasn't one to judge though. She just held him close and whispered the words, "It's okay, and everything is alright now. No need to cry, Jinguji-san."

The only words she got in reply from him were:

"I'm so sorry, little lamb."

Minutes passed before he pulled himself together. With what strength he had left, he stood up and pulled Haruka up with him. She rested her right hand upon the tall man's cheeks and looked at him with a bright smile. In response, he leaned into her hand and placed his own on top of hers, closing his eyes and embracing the moment.

"Lady, how are you able to still smile so beautifully through all this?" He asked her gently.

"I have the support of so many wonderful people that I love and care for; it's hard to be upset." Her reply was soft and her voice was like music to his ears.

Opening his eyes, he removed her hand from his face, but held it in both of his hands. He leaned in and gave her a kiss upon her forehead. Afterwards, he let her hand go and turned to leave the room. He made it to the door and opened it, but turned back to face her. He didn't want to be alone so he asked her if she'd help cook dinner for everyone that way it would be done by the time they got back home. Being the kind person Haruka is, she kindly agreed to it.

They made it to the top of the staircase and Ren paused. Haruka looked at him confused but that look of confusion turned into surprise when he lifted her up and carried her bridal style down the stairs.

"J- Jinguji-san, w-what are you doing?" Her face was red and she was nervous.

"A beautiful princess like you shouldn't have to walk down such a long staircase at this time of day." He gave her his famous playboy wink and she couldn't help but be a little bit embarrassed. Although, she kind of liked being carried like this.

Deciding to play along she wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder.

"I suppose you're right... I am quite tired... take me to the kitchen please, my kind prince. I must help prepare dinner for tonight."

Ren was a little shocked at this. Normally she would have blushed like mad and stayed quite until he put her down. I mean, it didn't bother him at all that she was playing along or anything. He enjoyed it. He was able to see another part of Haruka that the other boys couldn't.

The two finally reached the kitchen and he put her down so she could get out all the ingredients they needed for dinner. It was about 7:30 by the time Syo, Masato, Natsuki, Cecil, Otoya, and Tokiya got back home. Luckily, dinner was ready and plates were set at the table. Each man took his seat as Haruka and Ren walked out of the kitchen carrying the main dishes and drinks. It was odd to see the two together like this. Ren wasn't being a major playboy and Haruka wasn't blushing like crazy being near him.

Of course, nobody really cared though; they were hungrier than anything. Work takes a lot of energy out of you.

Dinner carried on like normal and everyone was satisfied with the meal. Silence then took over and one voice spoke up.

"Hey, Nanami, how come you slept in so late?" Otoya was a little oblivious to the current aura of the room, but he was curious. He'd never seen Haruka sleep in late. She was always the first one up in the morning.

"I was a little stressed from yesterday and was low on energy, so today I decided I should try and regain my lost energy. Besides, Ittoki-kun, we go back to class tomorrow so I wanted to be rested and ready!" She said with a smile. Haruka wasn't fooling anyone though. They all knew she was worried about one person: Risa.

Soon enough, the table was cleared of people and dishes. It wasn't very late at night and everyone still have plenty of time before bed, so they decided to kill time with a movie. Ren, Tokiya, Natsuki, and Cecil took up the couch while Otoya, Syo, and Haruka occupied the floor. Of course, Haruka was sitting between the two boys so neither of them would argue…

While everyone's eyes were glued to the screen, Syo took his chance and decided to hold his lover's hand. At first she was hesitant, but gave in to temptation. This went unnoticed by everyone luckily. The movie dragged on and it became late. 6 of the 7 boys headed to their rooms while Syo walked Haruka to her room. Before they came close to her room, she paused.

"Syo, I know it's late, but do you think we could take a walk outside? Just for a little while? I'm not tired yet and I hear there is a meteor shower tonight…" She trailed off with her words and became quiet.

"Sure, I don't see why not." He gave her that loving smile that made her feel butterflies in her stomach.

The lovely couple walked out to the garden and sat on a small wooden swing, feeling the night air breeze on by gently. The stars were shining gorgeously and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. The full moon was lighting up the calm night sky and the area around them. All in all, it was a beautiful night to be out star gazing and meteor watching.

Haruka took her lover's hand in hers and laid her head on his shoulder, looking up at the beautiful sky. This moment was perfect and the gentle breeze through the tree leaves had made it even better. For Haruka, this would probably be the last peaceful moment she got with Syo. She'd have to tell the other 6 men about her and Syo sooner or later. They couldn't hide it forever even though she had wanted to. All her thoughts were circling in her mind and she couldn't tell the difference between fantasy and reality anymore. All those thoughts came to a stop when she heard Syo call out her name.

"Haruka?"

"Yes, Syo?"

"I can tell you're worried about tomorrow," He said calmly. "But you don't need to be. I'll be by your side the entire time you walk through those halls. I won't let you deal with things alone anymore."

In that exact moment, Haruka knew that this was her prince. Syo protected her, loved her, and made sure that she never was alone in a time of need. She'd fallen for him and she definitely fell hard. Luckily for her, he felt the same way.

In response to Syo's words, Haruka lifted her head from his shoulder and turned to face him. He looked into her honey colored eyes and knew exactly what she wanted. Turning himself towards her as well, he let go of her hands and pulled her closer to him. Slowly, she snaked her hands around his neck and leaned in a little closer with pink colored cheeks. Syo then closed the gap between them and their lips met passionately under the light of the full moon. This moment was a memory that would last forever for the both of them.

After pulling away for air, Syo then realized something.

"There wasn't really supposed to be a meteor shower tonight, was there?" He questioned teasingly.

"Unfortunately, no. I just wanted to spend time with you for a while…" She felt a little guilty for lying, but it was worth it.

"Ne, Haruka?"

"Yes?"

"I love you." The words were said with such honesty.

"I love you too, Syo."

With a final kiss, the night passed on and our lovers finally went to bed, waiting for tomorrow to come along.

A/N: Alright, well that was fun to write. Anyways, next chapter will be based off of our final pairing, Masato x Haruka. Afterwards, things may or may not get a little more dramatic and all that fun stuff… Please review this if you would, I enjoy hearing other peoples' opinions. It really helps me plan out chapters!
