Author's Notes: Tired…head falls on keyboard oh well
"Tell me," Ryoma said.
"Uhh," Sakuno said looking at the ground. Her phone, which was in her pocket, rang. She answered and was shocked who called.
Ryoma pulled down the brim of his cap to hide his anger and backed away. 'Darn that person who called…that was a moment.'
"Moshi Moshi" Sakuno said answering her phone.
"Sakuno-chan…Where are you? It's almost midnight," Fuji said in a concerned but calm voice.
"Yea…about that" Sakuno said sweat dropping.
"What? Is something wrong?" Fuji asked in his ever-calm tone.
"I'm stuck in an elevator with Ryoma-kun at the mall." Sakuno said blushing for being stuck with him and from embarrassment.
"Don't worry…I'll go get help," Fuji said hanging up.
"That was Fuji-sempai. He's going to get help," Sakuno said to Ryoma cheerfully.
"Sakuno," Ryoma said sweetly. "You still haven't told me your answer to both of my questions.
They remained quiet for another ten minutes.
"H-he's m-my…m-my…fiancé," Sakuno said blushing lightly.
'Fiancé!?' Ryoma thought as jealousy began to take over.
"It's all because my parents want me to have an arranged marriage with their business partner's son," Sakuno said staring at the ground. "Ren and I have known this since we overheard our parents talking about it before we graduated elementary school. I tried to keep the fact out of my head that I'll never be able to find true love and other friendships all because of my parent's wish. But right before Ren left for America, when we were eleven, our parents kept us together and alone for most of the day. I love Ren but…its not totally true love…because I'm no stranger to heartbreak so if something does happen. It wouldn't pain me as much." Sakuno said explaining everything with sadness hinted in her voice.
Ryoma stared at Sakuno in awe. He had never heard her talk that way before. "It's okay to be selfish once in awhile and go your own way," Ryoma said in a calm, comforting tone. "You have a choice. You don't have to marry someone you don't love."
Sakuno looked at him with a light blush on her face. "Arigatou," Sakuno said hugging him. "That was all I needed to hear."
The elevator's lights flickered on again it began to move upwards.
"The elevator is working!" Sakuno said smiling cheerfully and unlocking from their embraced.
"Hn"
They reached the top and the doors opened. There stood a somewhat worried looking Fuji and a whole bunch of mall employees glad that it was over.
"Are you alright?" Fuji asked them when after he had only helped Sakuno get up.
"Yes we're fine, Fuji-sempai." Sakuno said smiling sweetly.
"I'm glad," Fuji said smiling sweetly back.
Ryoma got up and started to walk away.
"Ryoma-kun, where are you going?" Sakuno asked.
"Hotel"
"Come on, Sakuno-chan. Its late" Fuji said grabbing her hand and leading her out of the mall.
"Sakuno, can you tell me who is the guy you were hugging during your ballet class?" Fuji asked when they were walking down the street.
"He's my fiancé," Sakuno said with sadness in her voice.
"I want you to be happy. I won't touch on that subject if it you are saddened by it," Fuji said in a comforting, sweet tone.
"Fuji-sempai…" Sakuno said surprised by what he said. "Arigatou," Sakuno said smiling gently.
"Please Sakuno, call me Syuusuke," Fuji said stopping and leaning closer to her face.
Sakuno blushed a dark pink.
Fuji's arms encircled around her waist and he pulled her closer. He pressed his lips against her soft cherry ones.
Sakuno didn't resist this time. It sent a warm sensation through her and she enjoyed it. As if all her worries were gone. "Syuusuke-kun"
