chapter 14 :Do you still want to marry me ?

There were nights when the wind was so cold
That my body froze in bed,
If I just listened to it,
Right outside the window

Haruka sat in her car while she drove home . She couldn't think of anything she could say . But whenever she tried to think of something to say she would think of her first kiss she ever shared with Michiru .

'' We were really happy .'' Haruka whispered .'' And maybe we can still get back to being happy .''

When Haruka finally arrived home she took a deep breath before knocking on the door .' Pretend to be friends .' Haruka thought and knocked on the door . Michiru opened the frontdoor to face Haruka . They looked at eachother and before Haruka knew it Michiru had trown herself into her arms and started to sob . Haruka just held the girl . Did she caused this ? She put her arms around Michiru's waist but was shocked . She could feel Michiru's bones beneath the dress .' When the fuck did she got this skinny ?'

There were days when the sun was so cruel
That all the tears turned to dust
And I just knew my eyes were
Drying up forever

Haruka pulled back and looked at Michiru in concern .'' Michiru when was the last time you ate ?''

'' A few minutes ago ..'' Michiru lied . She didn't want Haruka's concern , she needed Haruka back . Not to let her feel sorry for her .

'' Yeah and i was born stupid .'' Haruka said .'' We are going inside and you are going to eat something and while you're at it ..make something for me too.''

Michiru smiled as she hugged Haruka again .'' I love you , Ruka ...'' Michiru whispered but Haruka could hear her and cleared her troath causing Michiru to pull back and look at Haruka .'' Yes , Ruka ?'' She now asked .

'' Remember you promised me something ?''

'' You were serious ?'' Michiru asked on the edge of crying . She hadn't seen Haruka in over a week and now she should just pretend to be friends ? Haruka just nodded .

'' I really need time to think Michi .''

Michiru just nodded and took Haruka's hand .'' Come inside ..it's cold .''

I finished crying in the instant that you left
And I can't remember where or when or how
And I banished every memory you and I had
ever made

Later that evening Haruka laid in bed staring at the sealing . She felt kind of stupid and alone . It felt strange to know Michiru was in the room next to her and they weren't together . At the same time she could hear a soft knock on the door .'' Come in.'' She expected it to be Hotaru nut instead of Hotaru there stood Michiru looking liek she had cried .'' Michiru , what's wrong?'' She asked and signed Michiru to come sit next to her . When Michiru did she burried her head in Haruka's chest .

'' I- can't sleep ...'' Michiru cried .'' Because you keep leaving me .''

Haruka just held her not really understanding her .'' I won't leave you Michi ...''

'' I know .'' Michiru sobbed and held Haruka as if her life depented on it .'' But those dreams keep coming back to me ...''

'' Dreams ? Michiru if you want you can sleep here with me .'' Haruka now said . Michiru just nodded her head .'' Please hold me ..only if it's just for tonight.''

But when you touch me like this
And you hold me like that
I just have to admit
That it's all coming back to me
When I touch you like this
And I hold you like that
It's so hard to believe but
It's all coming back to me

The next morning Michiru woke much to her relieve against the warm body of Haruka . She really missed this .She crawled out of the embrace to kiss Haruka on her head but then Haruka woke and Michiru pulled back .'' Morning , Ruka .'' She just whispered .

Haruka just smiled at her love .' I was wrong ..I still love her the same ...Nothing changed .' Michiru wanted to stand up but Haruka stopped her by pulling her back into her arms .'' Stay ...''

Michiru obeyed and climed under the blankets again into the arms of Haruka . After awhile Haruka looked at Michiru who now slept peacefully .' I love you ..'

There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things I'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than any laws allow

Later that morning Haruka , Michiru and Setsuna sat at the dinning table eating in silence . Setsuna was happy Michiru ate again , but was also concerned . She was glad Haruka was back .. But that didn't solve everything .They still needed to talk ... to have a real talk.

Haruka looked at Michiru from time to time who looked back at her with loving eyes . Michiru just wanted to forget all that happened but Haruka needed more somehow . After awhile of silence Michiru finally dared to speak up .'' Haruka do you still want to marry me ?'' The question was clear .. her voice had no emotion and her eyes only showed fear .

Setsuna looked up to Haruka too this time .' Please don't ruin it .' Setsuna felt something inside of her say she should leave but her heart told her to stay because Michiru could use some support after Haruka's answer .' It was too soon to ask .'

If I kiss you like this
And if you whisper like that
It was lost long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you want me like this
And if you need me like that
It was dead long ago
But it's all coming back to me
It's so hard to resist
And it's all coming back to me
