Author's note: I just finishing watching the dry wood fierce fire after some of you said that the idea is similar.... Wait, or is it fierce fire dry wood? Never mind, but I do realise that the concept is a bit similar in the sense that rearranging the furniture so on and forth. Nevertheless, there is still some difference. I shan't tell you the difference 'cause if I do there is no point in reading this fic. Well, let's just get started

Tsukushi's POV:

Chapter 5:

(At a furniture shop)

'We need to get big shelves for the comics and we need to get as many comics as possible,' I said to Tsukasa as we walked into the shop. I have promised Tsukasa to help him woo Haruko and so I must do my best.

'Is that shelf okay?' Tsukasa asked, pointing at a big wooden shelf.

'Nah, it is too ugly. How about that one there,' I replied, walking towards this 'oriental' shelf. 'I heard from Ayako that Haruko loves the culture of the east. I think she would like that.'

'Okay, we'll buy it then.'

'If I did remember correctly, Haruko loves Slam dunk, Ayashi No Ceres, Shogan Pace, Clamp X and Chobits,' Tsukasa reported.

'That wouldn't fill the shelf at all. We must buy more. I know, let's get Flame of Recca, Hikaru No Go, Hana Yori Dango and that,' I pointed to some unknown comics. Tsukasa heeded my advice and soon we bought everything we need. 'Wait, Haruko's favourite colour is blue, we must paint the house in shades of blue.' So we went to the DIY store and got many tins of blue paint.

(At home)

'We had better start painting the house. Let's start with the living room. We paint the walls with navy blue, then we can hang some glow-in-the-dark stars and planets. That would be so romantic!' I squeaked with joy and excitement. It has been a long time since I have decorated a house. The last time I decorated house, it was Rui's house. I painted the walls and the celling with dark blue paint, hung stars. I thought the atmosphere was romantic but Rui just said that the walls were too dark, and it affected his mood to do music. Perhaps, Rui never will understand what is romance. He probably accepted me as his girlfriend because I went up to him and professed my love. I guess Rui and I will never be together if I had not have the courage to tell him that I like him.

'Okay, let's start then!' Tsukasa happily started painting while I cover the furniture with plastic sheets.

'We need to move the TV and the hi 5 system before we can continue painting,' I reminded him. He stopped painting immediately like an obedient dog, and move the TV and the Hi 5 set away, then carried on painting. I took a brush and started painting with him.

(After 2 hours)

'Finally finished,' I said happily as I stretched.

'Tsukushi, you got some paint on your face' Tsukasa said as he turned and looked at me.

'Where?'

'Here, let me help you.' Tsukasa wiped my face with his hand and started giggling. To my horror, I realised I have fell for his trick. His hand was full of blue paint! He wiped the paint on my face!

'Doumyoji Tsukasa! I'll get you for this!' I screamed in anger.

'But you looked cute in blue!' Tsukasa laughed. I glared at him and then a naughty thought came into my mind. Since he wants to play, I'll play. I dipped both my hand into the paint tin. With paint on my hands, I smacked him on the face.

'Aren't you cute little baby?' I said sarcastically. 'Mummy's little boy' Tsukasa then splash paint on my clothes. I had to do the same. It's equality for man and woman. If I get paint on my clothes, he shall get it too! We ended up splashing paint at each other and had to clear up the mess after playing. Thank god that I remembered to cover the floor with plastic sheets. Though we ended smelling like paint, we had fun. In fact, I never had so much fun since I started going out with Rui. Why am I thinking about Rui again? If I'm thinking of Rui, I should at least think of his good points, not bad ones.

'Tsukushi, time to hang the stars,' Tsukasa announced as he took out packets of glow-in-the-dark stars. I smiled at him and then, together we hung the stars. 'Let's dim the light and see the results of our hard work!' With the lights dimmed, the stars glowed in an amazing colour of neon green.

'It's beautiful. The stars are as pretty as those in the sky,' I commented slowly, mesmerised by the glow of the stars.

'I agree,' Tsukasa replied standing beside, 'It is so dreamlike. Thank you Tsukushi.' I turned and for the first time, our eyes really met. Perhaps it's the romantic atmosphere, we kissed, lips and tongues touching.
