Chapter 8

"Well" he said, "it all started this morning..."

All of it just seemed to pour out after that. He mentioned Kyo's unusual motion and Tohru's statement made in Mr. Kochitsa's class, while Hana drank her coffee. Finally, Yuki explained how he was lost and ended up at this unfamiliar cafe. He gave plenty of detail. Of course, he did not put too much detail in why he needed to get away from the crowds.

"...and that's how I got here". The rain clattering on the roof and clamor among customers filled up Hana and Yuki's silence.
He had almost finished his tea when Hana spoke. "To truly love someone..." - she closed her eyes and smiled - "is to always put their feelings first before your own"
"Even if she's with someone-"
"Even then" she replied.

The rain started to diminish. Moonlight came through the only window in the cafe. It stretched across the room, landing in Hana and Yuki's area. She got up. "I should leave," she said. She was about to walk over to the counter, when Yuki grabbed her hand. "Yes?" Hana said.

"Thank you," he said, "for giving me that advice". He got up, still clinging onto her hand. "I'll always keep it in mind, especially when I see or think of Ms. Honda. But, could you help me with another problem?"

"Alright" she replied.
He laughed nervously. "Could you help me reach the subway? I am a little lost, like what I mentioned earlier" He let go of Hana's hand.
"Of course"

Subway:

Yuki and Hana were about to say their goodbyes, when a train is put on delay. That particular train was Hana's way back home. "That's just perfect," she said sarcastically. Yuki felt a little bad. He had not given a proper thank you for everything. Hana was about to complain to the person at the info booth, but Yuki held onto her hand again.

"You can come to my house and my cousin can give you a ride home" he said. She turned her head an their eyes met like they did at the café. In turn, she just smiled and said, "That's the second time tonight"
Yuki had a confused look. "Huh?"
"It's the second time you've held my hand"
"Oh!"
He let go a second time. "I guess there still must be something wrong with me" he said. "Something wrong, perhaps. Your offer, I'll have to refuse," said Hana.
"Well-"

"I know you want to further show your gratitude. However, there are some matters I'd like no assistance in. However, you throw in a word or two to the principal, saying I'm not the person who should help with the event tomorrow night, that will be most appreciated". Hana held Yuki's hand and kissed him softly on the cheek. Then, she left to complain in front of the info booth.

Yuki was flabbergasted. In spite of the girls at school who liked him, that was the first kiss from a girl he got. Alright, there was one with Kagura, but that was an accident. As he boarded his train, he opened the hand Hana held onto. It had been clenched into a fist since she left. On his palm was a piece of paper folded up. He unfolded it. Hana's phone number and address was written inside.
