"I guess you'll be staying here tonight" Yukino said, her voice sounding oddly pleased about the idea

"H-Hold on, I can't just stay here!" Hachiman said, "Besides, we have school tomorrow and there's no way that I'd be able to make it home to shower, change into my uniform and then make it to school on time!"

"I can always come over early tomorrow morning and bring your uniform with me." Komachi said, "In exchange, you can make me some breakfast!"

"Deal!" Yukino said, "I'll text you my address later so you know where to go, okay?"

O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O

"Pants." Yukino said, as she stood in her room while wearing her pajamas, a purple buttoned up long sleeve wool shirt and purple striped pajama bottoms,"Off."

"H-Hold on, Yukino!" Hachiman said, trying to argue his point, "D-Don't you think you're taking this too far-"

"Hachiman, it's bad for people to sleep with dirty clothes on, it can cause skin infections and is even considered to be worse for males" Yukino said, her voice leaving no room for debate, "I have no issue with you sleeping with a white shirt on, but you need to take your pants off when we go to bed!"

"That's not the issue here!" Hachiman said, as he suddenly pointed at Yukino's bed, "The issue is that you're asking me to sleep with my pants off... while sharing a bed with you!"

Hachiman couldn't understand what was going on here at this moment in time, he had just understood the idea that he was going to have to stay the night at Yukino's apartment since there was currently no way that he could get home, but not too long after they got off the phone with Komachi, Yukino suddenly pulled Hachiman into her room and told him to get undressed for bed. Yukino left for a few minutes and then came back in her pajamas, only to find that Hachiman had only taken his dress shirt off, leaving his pants on, which Yukino immediately ordered him to take them off before stating that he wouldn't be allowed to lay down with her until he took his pants off.

"Does that mean that you wish to do naughty things with me, Ecchigaya-kun?" Yukino asked, teasingly

"O-Of course not, I just..." Hachiman said, as he took a deep breath, "I don't know if I'd be able to control my body's reaction."

"Hachiman, if your body gets excited by me, then that means you find me attractive" Yukino said, as she smiled, "I'd feel pretty good about myself to be honest, it means that I can also get you excited and not have to have lar-"

"huh?" Hachiman asked, as Yukino suddenly stopped, "not have what?"

"N-nothing, it's nothing!" Yukino said, blushing a bit, "N-now, take off your pants so we can go to bed!"

O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O

Ten minutes later

Hachiman couldn't believe that he was doing this, he had gone from having a simple dinner with Yukino's mother to now laying in Yukino's bed with her while only wearing a white t-shirt and his boxers, and for some reason, Yukino was completely okay with it as she was laying just right next to him, staring up at the roof.

"Hey, Hachiman..." Yukino said, "C-Can I tell you something?"

"Yeah..." Hachiman said, as he rolled over to look at her

"When we first met, I recognized you as the boy that was hit by our car on the first day of school and I also viewed you as some cheap loner that nobody wanted to be around due to your attitude, but I was surprised at your intellect, as well as your ability to see through people and be able to see their true selves." Yukino began, "I also saw how you would always seem to try and help people, but what really bothered me was how you would do this and without a care in the world of how badly it would impact you for doing this... I never showed it and I even got angry at you when you did it in Kyoto with Ebina-san, but it hurt me whenever you sacrificed yourself to help someone else."

"We had our ups and down throughout our second year in high school, especially when I told you that you no longer had to come to the club room, but when you came to the clubroom the next day and I saw you on the verge of tears as you made your request for something genuine, I ran away from you...because I was scared" Yukino continued, "I didn't understand what you wanted when you meant you were looking for something genuine, but to be completely honest, I was afraid that whenever you found something genuine, you would no longer have any need of me and would just go leave."

"After we finally settled things with the prom, I made the toughest decision that I had ever made in my life, I told you to go and grant Yui's wish in the hopes that you'd accept her feelings, even though deep down, I was already aware of how I felt about you, I chose to give up on my feelings because I believed that Yui and you were the better choice" Yukino continued, "When I got home that night, I did something that I've hardly ever done... I cried. I cried for hours in my room as I pictured in my mind on how you were off with Yui and the two of you were happy because you both had what you both desired."

"I didn't realize how wrong I was because you went through with setting up the joint prom, conning both schools, my mother, the PTO, and more into this whole idea... all just so you could get close to me once again. I had already pushed back almost all of my feelings towards you because I believed that it would best for you to be with Yui, but in the end, you chose to be with me..." Yukino continued, "When I got home that night, I cried once again, but this time, they were not tears of pain and sorrow, but tears of happiness and joy because I finally had something that I had gained something that I never knew about, but I desperately needed."

"That night on the bridge, I asked for your life and you gave it to me, but I realize that I never gave anything back to you in return for it, so here and now, I want you to hear the words that I have to say..." Yukino finished, "I give you my heart, my love, and everything that comes with it... I swear that I shall never love another man but you for all my life and if ever a time comes where I am forced to pick between you and someone else, I will choose to remain by your side, even if the ones who choose to stand against us are my own family, I will remain by your side... I love you, Hachiman Hikigaya and I always will love you."

Hachiman just layed there as he attempted to process everything that Yukino had just said to him, she had poured out her entire heart and soul to him as they laid next to each other, then swore to him that she'd never love anyone else but him, even deciding to side with him against everyone else, probably even her own family. Hachiman reached over and pulled Yukino into his arms, holding her close to him as she placed her head onto his shoulder and yawned as sleep began to finally overtake her, the same for Hachiman who continued to stare at Yukino as his eyes closed and he finally drifted off into the realm of dreams.

O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O

*click* *click* *click*

Hachiman's nice and peaceful slumber was being disturbed an unknown clicking sound that seemed familiar to him, but in his current state, he had no desire to figure out what the noise was, but as he heard more of the clicking noise, he began to think it sounded like a camera, but who would be taking pictures of himself and Yukino in their sleep? A name suddenly appeared in his mind as Hachiman opened his eyes suddenly to see that very person, Haruno Yukinoshita, standing over the two of them with her phone out and obviously taking pictures of them while they were sleeping.

"...really?" Hachiman said, "You moved out, so I'm pretty sure this counts as breaking and entering..."

"Nope, I still have some of my stuff here so I'm allowed to enter as I please" Haruno said, smiling as she took another picture, "Besides, someone had to pick up your sister and bring her here since she was going to bring over your uniform for school!"

"H-How did you even know all that?" Hachiman asked, "D-Do you have cameras and microphones hidden around here so you can spy on our conversations?"

"Do I really seem like that much of a creepy person?" Haruno asked

"You broke into your sisters apartment and are taking pictures of the two of us while we're asleep" Hachiman said, "If there's another word for this besides creepy, then I've never heard of it."

"H-Hachiman..." Yukino yawned as she began to sit up and rub her eyes, "Who are you talkin-"

"Yahello!" Haruno said

"...of course." Yukino said, "I thought you gave mom the spare key that I gave you?"

"I gave her the key..." Haruno said, "...but I may have also made an extra one so I could come visit from time to time."

"I take it Komachi is here as well?" Hachiman asked

"Yep, she's out in your living room with your uniform, Hikigaya-kun" Haruno said, "She also mentioned something about breakfast?"

Hachiman groaned a bit as he slowly opened his eyes and began to sit up, which also caused Yukino to frown as well since she no longer had his warm shoulder to sleep on as well, so she was also forced to sit up as well. Yukino was the first one to climb out of bed and stretched before she began to walk around the bed as Hachiman slowly got out of the other side of the bed near Haruno, taking a glace at Haruno's phone to see that there were actually quite a few pictures of him and Yukino asleep on her phone.

"...just how many pictures did you take?" Hachiman asked

"Pictures?" Yukino asked

"Your sister took pictures of us while we were asleep." Hachiman said

"Wait, what?!" Yukino said, as she charged the rest of the way around the bed towards Haruno, "Delete those, now!"

"Now, now... I'm not going to do anything bad with these photos" Haruno said, as she held her phone away from Yukino, "I was just-

"You're going to post them on Facebook and cause myself and Hachiman nothing but trouble today at school!" Yukino said, interrupting Haruno, "You did it before and it started that whole rumor about myself and Hayama!"

"Hold on, Yukino-chan, that was an accident and you know it!" Haruno said

"Wait a second, the rumor that you and Hayama were dating last semester, the one that had Miura so worried that she had us ?" Hachiman asked, as he looked at Haruno "That was started by you?"

"It was an honest mistake, I accidentally posted the wrong picture on Facebook and didn't realize until a few hours later, then I deleted it and posted the right one" Haruno said, sighing, "It was a picture of a formal dinner that my parents dragged Yukino-chan and myself to one night, Hayama and Yukino-chan were forced to dance and I took a photo of it, but the real photo I meant to post was a picture of Yukino and myself in our dresses for the night."

"Yeah and you did explain that, but it still caused things to be difficult for myself and Hayama for a bit" Yukino said, "Just like how when you post those pictures on Facebook, we're going to get harassed by everyone at schoo-"

"Are you two ashamed of each other?"

The sudden question that was asked by Haruno caused the entire room to suddenly go quiet as Yukino and Hachiman just stared at her, both of them taking a moment to process what Haruno had just asked before both of them responded in almost complete unison.

"Of course not!"

"If that's the case, then why are you so worried about what people think about your relationship?" Haruno asked, as she held up her phone, "Besides, if I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty sure that you two made that annoucement yesterday on Facebook."

'Hachiman Hikigaya and Yukino Yukinoshita are now in a relationship!'

Yukino blushed as she saw the post, she didn't expect that over 40 people were going to like the post and over 30 people would post a comment on there, but there was her sister, showing the evidence and reminding them that they had started this.

"I liked and commented and so did your sister, Hikigaya-kun" Haruno said, "Speaking of her, I think you might want to start getting ready if you want to have enough time to make some breakfast."

O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O

Hachiman and Yukino were both able to take a shower and get ready, then Yukino went ahead and made some breakfast for them, which Komachi devoured through and greatly complimented Yukino on, before stating that her brother and her would usually just have an omlette for breakfast. After breakfast, the three of them left the apartment with Haruno and made their way downstairs and outside the building, reaching the sidewalk before the three of them turned around to face Haruno.

"Want me to give you three a lift to school?" Haruno asked

"No, we'll take the train." Hachiman said, "We've already told everyone like you said earlier, but I don't want to add fuel onto the fire"

"Suit yourself" Haruno said, shrugging

Hachiman, Yukino, and Komachi all walked off in the direction of the train station to ride it so they could get to school, but as Haruno watched them leave, she suddenly got a smile on her face when she saw Yukino suddenly move over and latch her arm around Hachiman's as he suddely looked at her for second before pulling his hand out of his pocket and locking his hand around hers.

'baby steps, but they'll get there... More importantly, these pictures will be payback for forcing me to have to deal with mom's sudden decision to find a suitor for me.' Haruno thought as she walked in the direction of the parking lot while pulling out her phone, 'I wonder how'll Yukino-chan will react when she discovers mom's little surprise for her today?'

O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O

Omake~

Yukino had her phone out as she stood on the other side of Hachiman while they rode the train to school with Komachi standing next to her, the two of them facing Hachiman and he was facing the door, making it perfectly clear that he wasn't going to let any pervert on this train try to grope either one of them. She had a smile on her face as she loaded up the post about Hachiman and herself being in a relationship, but her smile suddenly went to a surprised look when she saw the response that the post had gotten in just one night.

'Hachiman Hikigaya and Yukino Yukinoshita are now in a relationship!'

"Wow... a lot of people responded about the post we made last night" Yukino said, "We got comments from Tousaka, Kawasaki, Ebina, Tobe, Hayama, Isshiki, Komachi, your parents, Nee-san, Hiratsuka-sensei, and several others congratulating us on the post!"

"Onii-chan!" Komachi said, "Remember that after club is over, You're to bring Yukino home so she can meet our parents!"

"Yeah yeah..." Hachiman said as the train continued along its way...

O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O

A/N: In chapter 1-2, I wrote a short part where Hachiman chooses to open up when he admits that he didn't regret the accident because he felt that if he hadn't been in it, he would've never been brought into the Service Club and never met Yukino. I mostly kept it shorter for Hachiman because I felt that since he was in front of Mrs Yukinshita and Haruno, he wouldn't be able to completely open up and bare his entire soul to Yukino. This one was much longer, but I wanted to have Yukino bare her soul to Hachiman since it was just the two of them, but more importantly, I felt that Yukino would see this as the perfect time for her to say everything that was on her chest to Hachiman because there was literally no chance of anyone interrupting them right now.

I also want to thank Chryshauzer because I read his fanfic 'Snippets' and in one of the chapters, Yukino and Hachiman also used Facebook to confirm their relationship, so I decided to do it as well, so I'm giving him credit for helping me with the idea.
