Weeks later…

A 16 years old boy sat on his kind-sized bed, leaning back comfortably on his fluffy pillows in the middle of the bed. He looked at the door as he heard a couple knocks.

"Come in!"

The maid opened the door and walked towards him holding a tray in both hands. She stopped beside the bed-edge and offered the juice for the young man. He thanked her and removed the blond locks that were bothering his eyes.

"The boy from Yudaiji group is out side wishing to see you." the maid said.

"Let him in!" The blond boy ordered as he returned the now empty glass to the maid.

She excused herself and left. Few seconds later then Idomu stepped inside the room and approached the bed.

"How are you now?" Idomu asked as he pulled an armchair that was close and sat down.

"I'm fine. I'll be going back to school tomorrow." The boy announced happily.

"Really? Is that ok?" Idomu couldn't help but to feel concerned about him.

"Of course! I was wounded but now my injury healed completely. You can't even find it anywhere on my stomach." The blonde excitedly said.

Idomu sighed in relief and then lowered his head like he was ashamed from something. "It's my entire fault."

"Hmm?" the boy looked strangely at him.

"I did all that to you, and you protected me from a certain death. I could never forgive myself." Idomu said bitterly.

"But I forgive you!"

Idomu stared at the beautiful boy who smiled gently at him. "But I--"

"You loved me!" He suddenly said. "… and what you've done, was done out of love, that's why I can't blame you, and no one should."

The tears flood down on Idomu's face, it was happiness tears. The words he has just heard moved the heaviest burden from his shoulders. He stood up, wiped his tears, then leaned in and placed a soft kiss on the blonde's forehead.

"Thank you, Nokoru-kun. I'll leave Japan with a relieved heart."

"You will leave?"

"That's for the best. But believe that I'll always dream of you."

"That is ok for me." Nokoru smiled at Idomu and watched him as he approached the door. Idomu stopped in front of it and then turned to look at him for the last time, and then smiled.

"Good luck with Takamura-san."

The day after…

Akira swung the door wide open. "Welcome Back, Kaichou … the council room actually missed you."

"Ooh? Can this room even feel?"

"Hai! Hai! It does, because it was you who's missing."

"Thank you, Akira." Nokoru chuckled. He climbed the few stares and walked behind his desk then sat on his chair, leaning back while closing his eyes. "I have to admit it, I missed this place."

"And everyone in the campus missed you too, Kaichou."

"Yeah!" Nokoru sighed then he opened his eyes slowly, while his features saddened suddenly. "How's Suoh doing? He didn't visit me at all when I was in the hospital."

"He was so shocked about the incident, and he just felt afraid to see you again. He told me that he didn't have the courage to face you ever again."

"But its stupid to think that way, what happened, had happened and we can't change it. Can you do me a favor, Akira?"

"Of course, Kaichou."

"I want you to go to Suoh, and tell him that I want him back as a secretary."

The smile appeared on Akira's lips when he heard that. He quickly nodded and stormed out of the council room.

… … … … …

Akira searched everywhere, asking everyone about a certain blue-haired boy, until one of the girls leaded him to the archery club. Akira hurried to that place and when he saw the former secretary, training, he grinned and approached him.

"S-Senpai …" Akira panted out, already tired from running. Suoh stared at him in surprise and waited for him to catch his breathe. "Kaichou! WANTS YOU BACK AS HIS SECRETARY!"

Suoh blushed and covered Akira's mouth while he looked everywhere, and he noticed few were staring at them.

"Ijyuin, I told you that I can't face him after I was nearly killing him." Suoh talked quietly.

"B-But Kaichou said-"

"That's enough, Ijyuin, just tell him that I'm glad that he's back, and I'll watch over him while keeping my distance."

Akira's smile disappeared and he headed back to the council room disappointed.

… … … …

Akira entered the room, and he realized that Nokoru was looking at him waiting eagerly for his reply.

"Takamura senpai said that he's glad that you're back and he'll watch over you while keeping his distance."

Nokoru though for awhile before he gazed at Akira again. "I want you to tell him that I need him here beside us, and I won't ever be able to finish the paperwork if he wasn't here."

Akira chuckled. He felt there was a hope and this might work. He ran out the council room and to the archery club. When he arrived Suoh was a little shocked to find him here again.

"What is it now, Ijyuin?"

Akira panted out Nokoru's words to Suoh, and he found the later unexpectedly smiling when the 'paperwork' was mentioned.

"Tell him that I'm a little disappointed that he wanted me back just for that case." Suoh said absently with a smile.

Akira smiled as well and ran again back to the council room. When he got in the room he was already sweating. Nokoru started at him waiting for him to deliver the reply. When Akira told him about what Suoh has said, Nokoru blushed but then he smirked.

"Ok! Deliver that to him: 'What I actually meant was that I won't be able to finish the paperwork because I'll be desperately thinking of him'."

"Y-You love Takamura-senpai, Kaichou?"

"Yes, I do!"

"Ok! I'll go tell him that."

And once again Akira headed towards the archery club where Suoh was still practicing.

"What did he say?" Suoh asked in amusement.

"That what he really meant was that he won't be able to finish the paperwork because he'll be DESPERATLY thinking of you, I told you that he loves you, didn't I, Takamura-senpai?"

Suoh stayed silent for a while, his heart fluttered inside his chest. He closed his eyes and whispered. "If the one he's in love with always bring him pain, why he still wants to be around him?"

"I'll tell him that." Akira ran again back to the council room and in his way he bumped with Utako. He helped her up to her feet and apologized.

"Why are you running like that, Akira-san? You look pale, take a rest." Utako said.

"I- I can't … I have to- deliver messages between two lovers."

"Deliver messages?" Utako wondered as she stared at Akira's back as he ran back to the council room.

"KA-HHH ICHOU …" Akira stopped in front of Nokoru's desk and kneeled resting his hands on his knees as he panted. "Takamura-senpai said: If the one he's in love with always brings him pain, why he still wants to be around him?'

Nokoru parted his lips slightly in shock, but then he closed his eyes and wore a satisfied smile. "If my fate meant for me to live in pain, I'll live in pain!"

"H-Hai … I'll tell him that." Akira ran out the building to the archery club for the fourth time.

He ran to where Suoh was practicing and found him sitting quietly there waiting for the next message.

"Senpai!" Akira gasped, Startling Suoh who seemed that he was lost in his thoughts.

"Yes! Ijyuin?"

"If my fate meant for me to live in pain, I'll live in pain!' that's what Kaichou has said."

Suoh gasped, but he smiled sadly soon after and he seemed like he was going to cry, because his eyes glistened and twitched.

"Because I love him … I don't want him to live in pain, even if I suffered from being away from him."

Akira nodded and delivered this to Nokoru. And that was his situation this whole morning, running back and forth, from the council room to the archery club and from the archery club to the council room again, delivering love messages between the two.

"WAAAAAHHHHHH!" Akira collapsed tiredly on the floor, as he panted his heart out. He just can't move anymore, and his school uniform was all wet and sweaty.

"Akira! Are you ok?" Nokoru hurried to the younger boy.

"I- I … can't … go … anymore, Kai-chouu!" Akira barely talked.

Nokoru stared down apologetically at him. "I'm sorry, Akira! We involved you into this just because we didn't have enough courage to face each others. But thank you, Akira … I, now understand Suoh a little, and you did make it easier for us."

Nokoru patted his friend's head gently and then walked out the door. Akira smiled. He was now the happiest guy in the world because he managed to help his friends out.

O0o X o0O

He was waiting, waiting for the next reply from Akira. He was a little nervous and worried of what Nokoru's next reply might be. Suoh waited … but Akira didn't show up.

He stared at the entrance and he was startled when he saw 'him' there … walking slowly towards where he was sitting as the wind played with his golden locks. Suoh stood up slowly, his bow and arrow still in his hand. His heart was thumping madly like it always does when he sees him.

Nokoru stood close to Suoh, too close actually, smiling that charming smile of his. Suoh felt Nokoru's hand as the later snatched the bow and arrow gently off Suoh's hand, and then he gave him his back and Suoh found himself unconsciously snuggling his chest to Nokoru's back, his hands went forward, one hand holding the bow and the other was on Nokoru's hand, which was holding the arrow.

Suoh raised the bow for him a little, and then he put his lips on Nokoru's ear as he whispered softly. "Are you ready?"

He felt Nokoru shivering, but then he nodded. He shot the arrow and to Nokoru's surprise it settled down in the center, right in the small red sign.

"I did it!" Nokoru breathed out in surprise. Suoh pressed his lips on his cheek and wrapped his arms around him.

The bow slipped from Nokoru's hand, he closed his eyes and rested his hands on Suoh's arms that wrapped around him as he felt Suoh's warm lips kissing his cheek.

"At that day…" Nokoru said softly. "When it was our first time together…" Nokoru continued and he could feel Suoh's body tensed. "You had protected me … not the other way around, because … … Idomu-kun put that drug in my tea so he could take advantage of me, but you did that instead of him."

Suoh gasped at that new information, but Nokoru continued. "Because I don't have any feelings for Idomu-kun, it would've been a torture for me if he did it instead of you. So that's why, Suoh … you protected me."

They stayed in silence for a while, and Nokoru could feel Suoh smiling. He removed Suoh's arms from him so he could turn around to face him. He stared at him for awhile before he smiled at him while staring at his eyes strangely. "What do you always say? Nothing can stop what?"

Suoh was surprised for moment but then he smirked and leaned in. "… This!"

Nokoru closed his eyes as he realized that Suoh was intending to kiss him, and he leaned forward as well, and their lips met in a soft kiss. Nokoru pulled back, and gave Suoh one of his sweet smiles. "So? Will you let me go back alone?"

Suoh closed his eyes as he smiled and shook his head. "I just can't let you go, now. I'll take a good care of you from now on, and I promise that I won't leave your side ever again." Suoh promised and Nokoru couldn't help but to embrace him.

He pulled away and took Suoh's hand with his, and they started to walk out of the archery club. Nokoru tilted his head, pondering at Suoh who lowered his head while his cheeks flushed. Nokoru chuckled.

"Do you know that you're cute when you're shy like that?"

Suoh's eyes noticeably widened and Nokoru could feel his hand flinched under his. He tried hard not to laugh and entwined his fingers with Suoh's who immediately moved his face away, so Nokoru won't see the increase of the blush on his cheeks.

"You know, we should do something to thank Akira, the poor thing was a victim for all of this."

"What do you suggest?"

"The three of us go to a restaurant? There's that French restaurant nearby which I always wanted to go to." Nokoru said excitedly.

"… And the paperwork?"

"Suoh, love, don't be like that." Nokoru said while he poked a kiss on Suoh's cheek.

Suoh's face became like a tomato, he quickly coughed in his fist. "I- … think- its ok, if it's only … this time." Suoh awkwardly said.

"SO CUTE!" Nokoru beamed.

And so … Suoh was back as the council president's secretary and as Nokoru's lover.
