Hitoshi was not surprised to see Haruka standing at his door step that day looking a bit upset. Hitoshi held out his hand and Haruka slipped her hand into his and he guided her into his house. He called out to his mother who was in her study letting her know she was there and took her to his room. "So what to Takao do?" Hitoshi asked. He leaned back on the wall where he sat on his bed. Haruka went to her normal spot between his legs curled up into his chest where he hugged her tightly.

Haruka always liked to go to Hitoshi for comfort, she had done it ever since she could remember. Her mother and Hitoshi's father had both thought it was cute. "Fuse stole him" Haruka sulked. Hitoshi hated Fuse Bunko, she was the reason behind all of her tears when it came to boys. She either bought, blackmailed or tricked all Haruka's boyfriend into dating her and made sure that they would get caught.

And despite the fact that it always gave him a chance to have her for himself he never took it, because it wasn't right. She was always so attached to the boys she dated so it basically tore his angel apart when they cheated on her. Every time she would come running to him and crying about it and he could use that to his advantage and ask her out while her defenses were down. But then I would be no better than those jerks that hurt her.

"You don't seem to torn up about it this time" Hitoshi pointed it out

"I already talked to daddy about it" Haruka muttered.

"Then why do you need me?" Hitoshi asked curious. when she talked to her parents about it she just tends stick to him until she found someone else to be interested in. She never really needed to be comforted.

"Because it's kind of what I need right now." Haruka smiled up at him. And cue the waterworks Hitoshi though and right on cue she started to cry once more

"You didn't get it all out did you?" Hitoshi asked.

"It's not that... It's just, you've always been thee for me and I never thank you for it, I always take advantage of it. I'm not better than the assholes I date. I totally deserve it" Haruka sobbed taking Hitoshi by surprise.

"Usami Hana Haruka" Hitoshi growled and Haruka looked at him in shock "No one deserves to be treated that way, least of all you. I don't need you to thank me for it because it's worth it in the end to see your beautiful smile ag...ain. Shit" Hitoshi blushed. He tried to cover up the blush with his hand. Haruka sat up on her knees facing him

"Say that again" Haruka asked shocked

"Say what? I didn't say anything" Hitoshi stuttered looking away.

"Don't lie, you said my smile was beautiful" Haruka giggled as she smiled through her tears. The was enough to end him as she gave him such a bright smile.

He let out a sigh. no use hiding it now "Yea, I did, what of it?" Hitoshi sighed cautiously.

"I've never seen you blush before! It's so cute" Hitoshi felt his cheeks heat up again and Haruka squealed in delight "How long have you thought that?"

"I always have..." Hitoshi mumbled. Haruka smiled at her friend and hugged him tightly

"You always know what to say to cheer me up... Thank you Hito-kun. you're always so kind to me" Haruka mumbled into his shoulder.

Kusama Aoi Hitoshi

Haruka and Hitoshi met up with Matsuo and Raiden all smiled. Raiden gave him a questioning look which Hitoshi just shook his head to. "Haru-chan, I'm so glad you're okay"

"what happend to not mentioning it?" Raiden asked and Matsuo hissed back at him

"It's fine, Dad and Hitoshi made me feel better. I'm over it" Haruka smiled and Matsuo let out a sigh of relief. "Geez you two act like an old married couple" Haruka added. Both Raiden and Matsuo jumped and looked away from each other.

Hitoshi leaned over to whisper something in Haruka's ear "Are you seeing this too or has my mind started playing tricks on me?"

"No, no, I see it too" Haruka said wide eyed. Haruka and Hitoshi shared an evil smirk.

"I'll take Raiden, you take Matsuo?" Haruka nodded in agreement

"Hey guys I need to show Matsu something" Haruka stated then dragged Matsu away. Hitoshi turned to Raiden and grinned evilly

"What?... oh... no dude don't start-"

"You like her" Hitoshi stated

"No"

"My friend it wasn't a question. C'mon Yukina tell me I won't tell a soul... unless you tell Haruka about me liking her. Then you're dead meat" Hitoshi shrugged. Hitoshi held out his fist Which Raiden met with his own. "I guess we both like a couple of heart-breakers" Hitoshi grinned making Raiden laugh

"You tell anyone - and I mean anyone - I'll tell Haruka" Raiden agreed

"Tell me what?" Haruka asked popping up out of no where.

"Nothing" Hitoshi said a little too quickly "Where is Matsuo?"

"Ah! she's still admiring the thing I showed her"

"Hey Raiden, question, what if Haruka figured it out too?" Hitoshi asked

"You two are evil. You can't tell her either"

"Don't worry. yours wont be the only secret I'm keeping" Haruka giggled. Hitoshi just watched in awe at his crush, his heart speeding up. Raiden nugged him with a knowing look.
