After days of not hearing from Asami, Yuzan began to sulk. He locked himself up in his office and distracted himself with work until Haru arrived in London Friday night.

Shizuku worked long hours, so Yuzan took his brother out for dinner.

"How was the trip?" he asked as they sat down at Dinner by Heston Blumenthal to eat.

"It was great." Yuzan toned out as Haru went on and on about his research. He continued talking for what seemed like forever until he finally realized that Yuzan was not paying any attention.

He nudged his brother, pulling him out of his daydream.

"How is Shizuku?" he asked, changing the subject.

Relieved that Haru seemed to have finally stopped talking about fish and coral reef, Yuzan looked up at his brother and smiled.

"She's fine. I rarely see her," he replied.

"Oh."

They were silent for a while and Haru could tell that something was wrong.

"Are you sulking again, brother?" he asked, forcing himself to care.

"No," Yuzan lied.

Haru growled. It was obvious that his brother was lying.

"What happened this time?" Haru asked, although he did not really care to know. He supposed that, whatever it was, it was probably something Yuzan had done to himself.

Yuzan hesitated but then admitted, "It's Asami."

Haru was silent. He glared at his brother, annoyed.

"I told you not to get involved with her."

"Haru, I couldn't help it," Yuzan replied defensively.

"That's what you say about every girl!" Haru snapped. "You're just like Dad."

"I'm not like Dad!" He could not believe that Haru would even suggest that he was like their Father, the worst Father and biggest womanizer in the world. "Don't ever say that again."

"I'm only saying what's obviously true."

"It's not true."

Their first course came and they ate in silence.

"See, this is why we can't get along," Yuzan said after two or three courses.

"Why? Because I actually tell you the truth?" Haru replied, glaring at Yuzan. He hated how Yuzan always made it seem like Haru was the one at fault.

"No. Because you're no help."

"Fine," Haru relented. "What do you want?"

Yuzan smiled. He knew that it was only a matter of time that Haru would cave and agree to do whatever he wanted, no matter how much he put up a fight in the process.

"How come Asami doesn't seem to get it when I tell her that I love her?" Yuzan asked.

"Yuzan, you can't just tell a girl that you love her and not show her that you do."

"I do show her," he insisted.

"Yeah? How?" Haru asked, skeptical.

"I share my sweets with her."

"Buying something that you like and then giving a part of it to her isn't showing her that you love her!" Haru replied.

"Okay, then how am I supposed to show her that I love her then?" Yuzan asked. "Does Shizuku know that you love her?"

"Of course. I do things for her and I try to understand her."

Yuzan thought about it for a while. He had no idea what doing things for Asami and trying to understand her corresponded to in actions.

"Unlike you, it's not all about myself," Haru added.

Ignoring Haru's comment, Yuzan stared down at his dessert but was surprisingly not in the mood for sweets.

"What kind of stuff should I do?" he asked, pushing his dessert to the side.

"I don't know. Depends on the girl. From what I read, girls like flowers and chocolate, nice dinners, thoughtful dates, etc. Maybe a weekend trip somewhere."

Yuzan thought about it for a while. He supposed that he could buy Asami flowers and chocolate. He liked chocolate.

"Okay," Yuzan replied. It seemed he had a plan.

Haru sighed, convinced that his brother had no idea what he was doing. Although, he thought to himself, if there is someone Yuzan wants to change for, there may be hope for him yet.

After dinner, Haru walked over to Shizuku's office to see if she was still at work.

She was not, so he went home and found her in his room, working. She looked up at him as he entered the room and was pleasantly surprised to see that it was Haru.

"Haru, you're back from your trip," she said, happy to see him.

Then she looked back down at her computer. She had a report due the next morning and could not allow herself to be distracted by Haru.

"Yeah." He walked over to her and kissed her on the forehead. "Are you still working?"

"Yeah. I have to get these numbers to my VP by 8AM tomorrow."

"Oh," Haru replied, a bit confused. "But it's Saturday tomorrow."

"Yeah." Shizuku was not sure what the difference was. Her VP did not care what day of the week it was. All he cared about was the work getting done.

Shrugging it off, Haru pulled up a chair and sat beside Shizuku as she continued to work. Simply spending time with her, no matter what they were doing, made him happy.

After an hour or two, Shizuku decided to take a nap.

"Wake me up in an hour, okay?" she said as she laid down in the bed.

"Okay."

Haru kissed her goodnight and then tucked her in, wrapping her up in his blankets. Then, he waited until she went to sleep before finishing up her report. Numbers made sense to him so it was not very difficult for him to finish culling through her data and then neatly plopping the numbers into her report template. Plus, having been presented these types of reports at the meetings Yuzan forces him to attend, he had an idea as to what her VP was looking for.

Then, he set an alarm for 7AM and went to sleep next to Shizuku.

He wrapped his arms around her and the ball of blankets he had wrapped her up in. He had waited over four years to hold her again and he felt that it was worth every second of waiting.

He smiled, remembering all that she had done for him; she had freed him of his sadness and pushed him toward his destiny.

Without her, he would probably still be in Japan with Micchan at the batting cages, which wouldn't have been so bad although it would not have been nearly as awesome as spending months on end on a research vessel, diving to collect samples of the ever dwindling coral reefs. Now, he felt his life had meaning and purpose, something that he could not say about his life before Shizuku.

Plus, he now also had friends.

The next morning, Shizuku woke up at 6:45AM, frantic. She looked over and found Haru soundly asleep next to her on the bed. He was really cute when he slept but she was too angry at him to care.

Why didn't he wake me up like I told him to!? she thought to herself, livid.

Quickly, she untangled herself from the blankets Haru had wrapped her in and went to the desk.

Her laptop was off.

She pressed the 'on' button and searched for her files. She had a little over an hour to finish her report, which was clearly not enough time. Frantically, she opened her files and was surprised to find that her report was completed. And, not only was it completed, but it was done far better than she could have done herself.

She looked over at Haru, annoyed but thankful at the same time.

She was thankful that he had finished her report, which meant that she had time to spend with him, but was irritated by the fact that he had done such a good job without any formal training or understanding of her work.

Either way, she supposed that the work was complete and that she might as well send it off. She spot-checked it before emailing it to her VP.

Five minutes later, his response was more positive than she could have ever anticipated,

Looks good, Shizuku. See you Monday.

Monday? she thought to herself. That meant she had all weekend to spend with Haru.

She looked over at him and then decided to crawl back into bed and sleep. She had not had a full night's sleep in the past week and was grateful for the fact that, because of Haru, she had slept nearly six hours the night before. She cuddled up against him and closed her eyes.

But, as soon as she closed her eyes, his alarm went off.

Quickly, she got up to turn it off, but he had already awaken.

"Oh, Shizuku, you need to submit your report," he said groggily, forcing his eyes open.

"Already did," she replied as she brushed his hair out of his face.

He smiled. "Oh, that's good."

"Thanks Haru." She smiled at him, melting his heart in the process.

They were silent.

After a couple of minutes, he turned over and grabbed her, wrapping his arms tightly around her.

"I love you Shizuku," he happily said.

"You're suffocating me," she replied, struggling to talk.

"Oh..." He did not want to be overbearing.

"Haru..."

"I'm sorry," he said. "I don't mean to be overbearing. I just..."

"No, I mean you are literally suffocating me."

"Oh." He loosened his grip and then held her gently in his arms a while before they decided to get up and go for breakfast.

They went outside and found Yuzan sitting in the living room, reading magazines.

"We're going to breakfast," Haru informed his brother as he put on his shoes.

"Oh, where are you going?" Yuzan asked.

"No idea."

Yuzan got his coat and, taking his magazines with him, followed Haru and Shizuku down to the street.

"There's a good place a few blocks over for some coffee and chocolate bread," he suggested, leading them to a cafe about three blocks away.

Annoyed, Haru knew that he had no choice but to follow.

Yuzan ordered for the three of them and they sat down at a table outside to eat.

"What are you reading?" Shizuku asked, noticing the magazines in his hand.

"Women's Weekly. I express ordered every copy from the past six months."

Haru chuckled. "Why are you reading Women's Weekly?"

"I need to figure out what women like. This one girl wrote an article about how her boyfriend surprised her with a weekend trip to the Greek Islands. Maybe I should do that."

"I don't know, Yuzan... you may want to start with something... smaller," Shizuku suggested.

Yuzan thought about it for a while but had no idea what 'smaller' meant.

"A trip to the Greek Islands sounds nice," Haru noted. "We can rent a sail boat and go fishing."

"We can take Dad's yacht," Yuzan suggested.

Haru glared at his brother. He didn't want anything to do with his Dad, yacht or no yacht.

"That would be nice, but I have to work," Shizuku said, killing their fun.

"Okay. Something closer then," Haru said to Shizuku.

"I thought we were trying to figure out what I can do for Asami," Yuzan interrupted.

"It's not always about you, Yuzan." Haru could not stand how Yuzan always made everything about himself.

Then, ignoring his brother, Haru picked up a copy of 'Time Out London' and flipped through the pages.

"What about a dinner cruise?" he suggested.

Shizuku thought about it for a while. A dinner cruise seemed sensible.

"Okay."

"Great," Yuzan said, inviting himself. "I'll call Asami."

"Yuzan-" Haru began to object but was promptly interrupted by Shizuku grabbing his arm.

"Haru, we should all go together," she said, deciding for them. Shizuku could tell that Yuzan was going crazy without Asami and figured that it would be good for everyone to go together.

Haru was silent. If Shizuku wanted Yuzan and Asami to go then he supposed that they should go, no matter how much he preferred otherwise.

After breakfast, Yuzan disappeared and Haru and Shizuku spent the rest of the day walking around the city alone. Then, he took her to the London Eye and they rode up above the city together.

It wasn't something that Shizuku would have normally done on her own, but she had to admit, it was nice.
