[Chapter Ten: Heaven Only Knows]
Akira wondered if his sister would explode if she get anymore happier. He watched, dismayed, at the mess his sister was causing. Despite the fact that Miki is a neat freak, she tends to be the complete opposite when she's too…ah, enthused.
Of course, that usually means that Akira has to clean up the mess. All the while dealing with the amused looks that Rui would send his way.
"O-NEE-CHAN!" Akira groaned loudly. Miki skidded to a stop in front of him, looking at him with expectant eyes. "Can you please stop? I know you're happy that… Hell, the whole world probably knows, what with the noise you're making and all!"
Miki pulled on a pout. "But you know I can't help it. It's just that I'm so…!"
At times like this, I wonder exactly who's older here… Akira groaned again, then said out loud, "Just calm down. So they're finally together. A big whoop to them then."
"But still--!"
"Just shut UP!"

Towa looked at both of them knowingly. Santa and Atsuro were exchanging confused looks, while Yuka looked only half-surprised. Sasaki was basically ignoring everything and everyone. Aine cleared her throat to get everyone's attention.
"I have some of the words to a song…" Aine said, while all pairs of eyes were trained on her. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw Yuki gave her a slight nod in thanks. She smiled slightly in response, a gesture only for the guitarist.
Everyone was seated around a low table, going over the few lines that Aine has came up with so far when Sasaki spoke without warning.
"You know this will most likely not go well with the fans," was all he said, not looking from the paper.
"Then we'll keep it to ourselves," Sakuya shrugged one shoulder. "They won't find out as long as people keep their mouths shut." He gave Santa a pointed look at that. The drummer only snorted in response.
Sasaki didn't reply and instead, stood and left the room. Once the footsteps disappeared down the hall, Towa, Aine and Yuka broke into loud cheers.
"Let's celebrate!" Yuka said, excited.
"'Neechan…why aren't you surprised at all?" Atsuro asked.
"I'm not sure. I guess it just didn't come across as much of a surprise, that's all," Yuka shrugged. "Anyway, well?"
"All-night karaoke!" Santa piped up.
"You just wanted to party," Towa said, with a small smile.
"Yeah, but I don't see anyone disagreeing with my suggestion!"
+++++
"They were more okay with it than we thought, hmm?" Sakuya whispered into Yuki's ear, as he tried to drown out Santa's singing in the background.
"I guess…" Yuki replied, wincing slightly as their drummer hit a high note. "God, someone should never let Santa sing again while he's drunk."
Sakuya laughed softly. The guitarist turned and looked at him strangely. Sakuya blinked at him, "What?"
"…That was nice," Yuki murmured, snuggling closer to the younger man sitting beside him on the sofa.
"What was?" Sakuya asked, confusion lacing his tone and words.
"You laughing. You should laugh a bit more, you know? It has a nice ring to it. And besides, then we'd at least know you actually have emotions."
"But I like being a cold, emotionless jerk." Yuki laughed.
+++++
"Who knows what tomorrow brings…" Miki sang softly, as she folded the clothes neatly and stacked them onto the basket beside her.
"Still happy, hmm?" Rui asked, leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed.
"A bit, but not as much as before," Miki replied. "What is it?"
"Nothing. Just wondering what will happen to them now," Rui looked past his cousin, out towards the water that was just beyond the open balcony door.
"I guess there is that one thing but I'm sure their manager has already informed them of it. It's nothing big anyway."
"The fans? I would think they'd love it."
"Who knows?" Miki laughed. She followed her cousin's gaze out to the water. "I think I want to visit mom and dad some time, and maybe even them along the way." She turned back to her cousin. "What do you think?"
"Why not?"
### Who knows what tomorrow brings
And heaven only knows what's on the other side of the rainbow
All I know is what the seasons bring
And even with the seasons come uncertainty###
### Who knows
Do you know
I don't know
Heaven only knows what the future holds
Heaven only knows what's over the rainbow
Just imagine all the possibilities
Heaven only knows what the future holds###
