Enough of my ranting, thank you to my lovely reviewers and to my friend Mosa-chan, who will never read this, but rocks anyway.
Chapter 3
Haru grinned. Ok, so it wasn't a billboard, it was still proof that YUKI LIKES GUYS! Haru's inner child was dancing around singing. Black Haru's inner child was saying something vulgar. Haru decided to ignore the inner children and pay attention to Yuki.
"Haru, what am I going to do?" asked the boy pathetically. He sounded so upset that Chibi White stopped dancing and Chibi Black stopped muttering about obscene things.
"Well, are you sure that you like him?"
"Yes… No! I don't know! I'm so confused I don't know who I like!"
Haru blinked at the boy resting on his shoulder and asked, "So you think you like Kyo, but for all you know you could like me?"
Yuki glared half-heartedly at Haru before burying his head in Haru's shoulder without answering. Haru hadn't expected an answer and he decided that it didn't matter anyway; he had to sort Yuki out before even thinking of himself (Chibi Black disagrees, he thinks Haru should think of himself and glomp Yuki while he's in this confuzzled state, Chibi White agrees with his dark counterpart, so Haru ignores both of them.)
"You're… really that confused?" he asked tentatively. He wasn't sure whether he wanted to know the answer.
"Yes," answered Yuki. He shifted off of Haru's shoulder, opting to sit face-to-face with him instead.
"Well then, we need a plan to work out if you do or not," said Haru.
"And… what would that involve exactly?" asked Yuki hesitantly, he didn't know what Haru was planning, but it was unlikely to be something Yuki agreed to.
"Snog him!"

On the roof, Tohru was trying to get Kyo to come down. It wasn't working, though.
"Oh, please come in Kyo-kun! You might catch a cold in just your T-shirt and I don't want you to get sick, not that looking after you would be a problem or anything, I just want you to be healthy. Why won't you come down?"
"Rat-boy," muttered Kyo. He had turned away from Tohru long ago in a vague attempt to block out the sound of her worrying over his health. He was now focusing on Yuki's not-so-secret vegetable garden.
"Kyo-kun, Yuki-kun's in his room with Hatsuharu-san, so you don't have to talk to him," replied Tohru kindly. She suddenly wondered what Yuki and Haru were doing alone in a bedroom. She shook the thoughts from her head, thinking 'Bad Tohru!' all the while. Kyo didn't notice Tohru's battle with her yaoi-loving inner child.
"I know, it's not that! It's just… since this morning…" Kyo was oh-so-glad he was facing away from Tohru 'cos as soon as he mentioned that morning he blushed madly, "Since this morning… he's been… different."
"Maybe he doesn't hate you anymore!" said Tohru happily.
"I wish…"
"Oh sorry Kyo-kun, I didn't quite hear that,"
"It's nothing Tohru," Kyo smiled at the apologetic girl, "Really! I'll come down if you promise not to make leeks for a week."
"Ok!"

Meanwhile, in Yuki's room the two teens where pondering how to get Kyo to kiss Yuki.
"Maybe we could use mistletoe," muttered Haru thoughtfully.
"It's nowhere near Christmas…"
"Oh yeah! How about… hypnotism?"
"Too drastic…"
"Candlelit dinner?"
"Too romantic…"
"Love potion?"
Yuki stared at Haru like he was mad and answered, "Too weird!"
The two went back to thinking silently for a minute, finally Yuki's face became plastered in worry.
"Haru… what if after all you're doing to help, I don't like like Kyo?" he asked.
"Well… then you can "like like" me!"
"Are you kidding?"
Haru looked hurt at that. "No."
There was an awkward pause. Finally, Yuki looked away blushing and muttered, "Well, I already told you I'm confused… I don't know who I like…"
Haru smiled at the super-cute boy in front of him. He privately thought that Yuki's mind was a bit of a wreck right now, so he didn't want to force him to make such important decisions. Chibi Black was screaming, "Take advantage of him!" and Chibi White was skipping around singing "Yuki's still hugging his pillow!" Chibi Sane Haru kept muttering "Ignore, ignore, ignore."
"Hey, don't worry! You've got the rest of your life to decide. Now let's get some food."
Yuki turned back to his friend, smiled and put Pillow-chan in her place gently.
"Ok, bye Pillow-chan!"
"Pillow-chan?" asked Haru, amused.
"Mention it to anyone and I will kill you," replied Yuki coolly.
-----
Later, after some food, everyone was sat in the living room, Yuki and Tohru on the sofa, Haru on a chair and Kyo on the floor.
"Hey, Kyo, let's wrestle!" said Haru calmly.
"WHAT?"
"Wrestle, I'm bored."
Both Yuki and Tohru looked away. Yuki to hide the blush forming on his porcelain cheeks, Tohru to plead to an Inner Judge somewhere to have Inner Tohru the Yaoi lover put to death.
"No way!" yelled Kyo, exceedingly glad Shigure was out with Ayame. If he wasn't he'd be typing up a new romance novel about this. Pervert…
"Aw, go on!"
"Haru, your persuasion skills suck,"
"If you don't I'll go black and eat you all, RAWR."
"What was that?" asked Kyo nervously, Haru had, after all, just made a JOKE!
"Oops, sorry. Chibi White got out of his cage."
Everyone stared at Haru like he was mad. Haru didn't notice and kept his gaze on Kyo. Tohru was fighting the urge to laugh manically and scream that Haru heard the voices too.
Kyo was really weirded out, Really really weirded out. Haru was still staring at him. Finally Kyo sighed in defeat. "Fine, I'll play your stupid wrestle game,"
"The winner gets Yuki's heart!"
"Haru, that's mean!" muttered Yuki.
"Sorry, Yuki," replied Haru. He turned back to Kyo, "Winner get's Yuki's heart, loser gets Ayame's body."
"No,"
"You want to forfeit?"
"Yes, but I don't want Ayame's body. And even if I did… I'm pretty sure it's that pervert dog's."
"Fine," muttered Haru. He stood to leave the room.
"Haru, where are you going?" asked Yuki. He was staring nervously at Tohru's expression, Tohru had just thought of Shigure and Ayame all alone together.
Haru smiled slightly, "You come too, Yuki!"
"Where?" He asked, still staring at Tohru.
"A date!"
Yuki looked confused, but allowed Haru to drag him from the room. Before they left the room, he glanced around and saw Kyo frowning, and looking… jealous?
See, I'm so confused with the pairings! Help!
Sorry about all the inner child stuff, I thought of this chapter in my (boring) last lesson of the half term. My inner child's a lot like Tohru's. --'
So, review if you can. See you next chapter!
