{Chapter 14: Kiss Gets Out}

Subaru POV.~

It wouldn't hurt to let her know who made her card. We walked back inside the car in silence.

It was a little awkward. Why did I had to let this little secret out? This afternoon I watched her dance around with Futo on the Hotel's Television, and for the first time in a while, I had seen Futo's real smile out on that stage.

Something just snapped. I spent the rest of the day playing basketball at a local court. When I got home, I was scolded for not helping out at wedding preparations. I was sure everyone was a bit angry from the live show as well.

In fact, we didn't even talk at all over dinner. Messaging Nanami was the quickest way out of that uncomfortable place.

I practically ran for the car as soon as I showed everyone the message.

Now..Another awkward silence..

This was something I did not expect. I thought she would be really happy and excited. But..

Nanami sat in her seat looking out the window deep in her thoughts.

I parked the car in the parking space outside in front of the hotel. "Have you had dinner yet? I can get you some room service on the way up to our floor."

Nanami nodded silently and smiled softly. "That would be nice, shall I follow you to the kitchen?" She clicked her car door open.

"N-No, anything specific meal?" I asked and opened my door, taking off my seat belt and hoping down from the car.

Nanami shook her head and walked off to the back of the car, waiting for me to lock everything up and catch up to her.

We walked side by side which made me suddenly subconscious about how I was walking. Seems as if a billion questions went through my mind.

What were we going to talk about?
Am I walking correctly? ..Which sort of lead to me walking weird because I forgot how..
Can I hold her hand?
Is where we'll make eye contact?
She's glancing! I'm starting to sweat.
Her eyes are so pretty today...The moon is out tonight.
What shall I get her for dinner? Something fancy?
Am I standing too close? It won't affect anything will it?
Did I shower yet? I hope I don't smell of sweat from this afternoon.
Am I overreacting?
The others will be jealous.

I stared at my feet the whole way to the doors.

When we got to the doors finally, Nanami stepped in front to glance at me and opened the door. "Subaru? Are you coming down with a fever? Your face is red." Nanami looked a bit concerned as she poked at his cheeks.

I entered and pressed my palms to my cheeks. Such a bad place to be blushing...

"H-Here's the room key, floor 6 is your room including Iori, the twins, Yusuke, um.. Kaname, mine..and Wataru has been complaining since he wasn't assigned to the same room. The others will be on the upper floor if you want to go straighten it out with Wataru." I take out a room key and leave to head to the front desk.

"Hello-" The front desk ladies giggle at my pink cheeks. I can't complain though, I feel like I've been through a heat wave.

Normal POV.~

Nanami looks at the room keys, and she walks toward the elevator, pushing a button.

Ding, Dong!

"Wataru wants to be in my room?" Nanami whispered as she walks into the elevator. Usually boys don't sleep with girls, but it's just her step brother. Hmm.. But will Masaomi allow it?

"What floor?" Someone with their back turned to her asked.

Nanami looked up from her key card. "Floor Seven please."

As the doors closed and Nanami looked down at her card.

"Oh Nanami?"

Her head suddenly shot up when hearing her name.

"Rikki?" Nanami's eyes went wide to see the hazel haired young man. The boy was wearing nicer clothes..

He had flowers in his hand and casual clothes. He wore a nice gray sweater and pants. He brushed his hair down so the spokes were gone in front. Now clearly looking at him, he had pierced ears. Rikki had outdone himself compared to the nightclub. He had a princey aura attached to him.

"N-Nanami." Rikki had clearly not expected to see her here. Rikki suddenly held out the flowers. "T-These are for you!"

Nanami took the flowers in confusion but the next second later she blushed intently. "How did you find me here?"

"Well.." To be honest, Orianna and Rikki had exchanged numbers after his kiss collision with Nanami. She had called him in telling him where Nanami went.

Nanami decided not to push it further and hugged the flower bonnet in her arms and smiled. "Orianna invited you to the wedding?"

"Wedding?!" Rikki yelped and looked at her fingers for a ring.

"Hahaha, not me silly." Nanami responded.

Before they could converse any longer, the elevator ringed and the doors opened.

They stepped out of the elevator and Nanami looked down at the corrider. What room was Masaomi in? She thought.

"Where will you be staying?" Nanami asked paying attention to Rikki once again which he had responded with a frown. "I.. Don't have anywhere to stay right now, actually my flight just came in this morning. The whole day I have been socializing with citiz- people."

Nanami looked at Rikki with worry. "I can set you up in a room if you'd like. It's quite easy to get a room here-"

"That won't be necessary, I have- friends in this coun- city." Rikki seemed to be at a lost for words.

Nanami was suddenly tugged.

"Nanami?"

Nanami looked down at her waist to see a little boy. "Wataru?"

True to her words, the little boy stood near to her, looking up with jealousy in his eyes.

"Oh, who is this?" Rikki showed a smile and held out a hand. "My name is Rikki."

"Rikki? Like Nanami's guin-" Wataru started up suddenly giggling.

Nanami held her palm to his mouth. "Uh, Wataru! What are you doing out in the hall? It's dangerous!" She flushed completely while Rikki looked at her face with a puzzled expression.

"I went to go get more snacks for everyone." Wataru pointed to the opened door where mostly everyone was standing. They seemed to have been watching a movie.

Nanami looked at Rikki who seemed completely fine with the huge family. "You have my number don't you? Call me tomorrow and I'll show you everything I know in this city. I so exhausted tonight so..."

"No problem." Rikki leaned in with hesitance and pecked at her forehead before walking into a elevator which just opened. Subaru walked off with a plate of salad and some cut up chicken.

He noticed his brothers' jaws dropped and Nanami's face red as a stop sign.

"U-Uh.." Nanami froze in place before turning around with a flushed face. She wasn't smiling, a little frown was left on her face.

"D-Did something happen?" Subaru asks toward his brothers and pointing at Nanami who had flowers in her hands.

A Little Later~

Nanami sat at a small coffee table and ate her salad while staring out at the night sky.

Everyone continued their movie, glancing at Nanami every couple of seconds.

"Nanami." A chair was pulled out in front of her and Wataru sat in it with a cheeky smile. "Since you're finally home, can I ask something?"

Masaomi stood up from his bed. "I told you No Wataru, Nanami can't sleep with you in her room."

"Sleeping in my room?" Suddenly she remembered and smiled softly. "I don't mind." Nanami smiled at Wataru. "It's just Wataru,"

"Really?" Wataru jumped on the chair.
"Eh?!" Eyes widened and they stood up in protest.

"That is, if it's okay with Masaomi." Nanami looked over to Masaomi with Wataru's gleaming eyes.

He was silent until Ukyo spoke up. "No way! I won't allow that! That'll just spoil him."

"Listen Wataru, Nanami needs her sleep. You know how loud you can get." Tsubaki placed a hand on his shoulder and Azusa spoke for him.

"E-Ema will be in that room too so she'll probably feel very uncomfortable with you in with her." Yusuke injected.

"I will be quiet and hidden!" Wataru pouted.

"It's not like that! You can't sleep with Nanami Wataru." Subaru says.

"How about you sleep with your older brother instead Wataru?" Kaname asks which ended with Hikaru bonking him on the head. "How come everything that comes out of your mouth so sexual?"

"I guess that's a no." Nanami looked at Wataru whom was sad and about to burst into tears. "Wataru, No don't cry." Nanami walked over to Wataru who had collapsed himself onto the floor, wiping his small tears with his sleeve, and wrapped her arms around Wataru.

"Be a good boy and don't cry Wataru, we can have plenty of sleepovers when we get home." Nanami inferred. "With everyone too." Nanami looked up at Masaomi who nodded. "Of course Wataru. I really want to join the sleepover but Nanami won't allow it." Masaomi smirked having his own little fun.

Nanami pouts. "Don't blame this on me Masaomi. So Wataru, you understand right?"

"Y-Yeah.." Wataru said with a tint of sadness.

Nanami stood up. "I need to go to bed, good night everyone." At that moment, she yawned heavily and left.

"Oh, she forgot her flowers." Subaru looked at the flowers that were placed in a vase by Nanami.

"Don't bother, she'll come back for it. It was from.. That guy." Tsubaki said clearly not thrilled.

"That guy.. You know him Tsubaki?" Iori questioned while eating his soba noodles. He just got back from his own sight seeing, hungry as ever.

Tsubaki went silent. "It was an accident." He murmured.

Natsume looked at Iori. "He collided into her."

"So..?" Hikaru furrowed his brows. "What does they have to do with him showing up again?"

"..On the lips." Azusa mutters to where everyone could barely hear him.

"Eh?!"

The Next Morning... Nanami's POV~

-Knock...Knock...

Repeated knocks.. Who could it be?

I open one of my eyes only to see the hotel's clock at 6 in the morning. Who could be awake at this time?

I slowly stood up from my bed. Ema was still sleeping in her bed besides mine with Juli. Rikki, I assumed, was taken by Wataru to have his mini sleepover.

I made my way to the door. The floor was cold from the breezes that came in through the left opened window. It felt like walking on snow except less rocks.

"Yes?" I opened the door to see...

So, how do you like it? 3 Today's my Birthday! 8/24. So I won't be able to make this chapter long, sorry!~
