Hitoshi felt a little guilty as he walked down the street with Haruka clinging to his arm. This wasn't that unusual for everyone, when Haruka went through a break up she tended to cling to Hitoshi for comfort it got to the point where they would have found it odd if she didn't. But Hitoshi felt guilty because he enjoyed the 'Recovery Period'.

Haruka was currently pestering Kaori to sing with her as she walked beside them holding hands "C'mon Kaori-chan!"

"I'm not going first" Kaori giggled, Kaori turned her blue eyes to the blonde haired boy in front of her "I'll go After Miyagi-kun does" she chirped. Ichiru turned to them his dark blue eyes landing on hers

"Then I guess you'll be missing out, Kaori" Ichiru replied

"What! No way! You guys are no fun" Haruka protested.

"I'll sing with you Haru-chan" Hitoshi smiled. Haruka turned to say something but the=en stopped and let go of his arm and both of them stopped walking "What's wrong Haru-chan?"

"Nothing I just thought - since you have a crush on someone - that me clinging to you like would lead to her misunderstanding that we're dating" Haruka answered before walking off to continue following their friends. A little shocked Hitoshi ran to catch up and once they reached the group Hitoshi grabbed her hand

"She won't otherwise she wouldn't be a crush she'd already be my girlfriend. So you can cling as much as you want" All the boys in the group grinned at each other except Hitoshi

Haruka looked up at Hitoshi "That makes no sense Hitoshi" Hitoshi's eye twitched slightly and all the other boys groaned "What!?" Haruka cried "I'm not that stupid"

"Just don't worry about it, Haru-chan" Hitoshi stated shaking his head.

Kusama Aoi Hitoshi

Hitoshi sat in the room with His friends Kaori had managed to get Ichiru to sing with her and Haruka was almost dozing off beside him. "Haru-chan? Do you want to go home?" Matsuo asked from her other side. Haruka jerked awake and shook her head.

"C'mon Haru-chan, I want to go home now anyways so I'll walk you home" Hitoshi stated standing up pulling her with him. "Besides I don't think you'll want me to carry you home princess style" He smirked. Haruka was Immediately out the door waving goodbye to all of her friends, Hitoshi laughing behind her.

They walked down the brightly lit street, Haruka sleepily hanging onto him "Did you enjoy yourself?" Haruka yawned.

"Yea it was nice to hang out with everyone" Hitoshi nodded. Haruka spotted a fast food store

"I'm hungry do you want anything from there?" Hitoshi shook his head. "Okay I'll be back" Hitoshi nodded and waited for here outside the store when two girls approached him batting their eyelashes

"Hey cutie" One of them purred "Looking for a little fun?"

"No thanks, I'm not up for that" Hitoshi shrugged. One of the girls pouted

"can I grab your number?" the girl asked persistantly. Hitoshi was getting annoyed as the girl constantly tried showing off their cleavage to him Hitoshi just looked away.

"Sorry, I don't know my number and I don't want yours" Hitoshi stated pointedly.

"Suit yourself" one of the girls scoffed as they walked away.

"They were pretty" Haruka stated making Hitoshi jump

"Haruka! they were just- well" Hitoshi tried to explain as they started walking to her house

"It's fine Hito-kun" she cheered "The same happened to me inside it was funny is asked him if he had a pen he was like 'Sure do babe' and I was all like 'then you might wanna get back to it before the farmer fines out you're gone little piggy' he was not happy after that" Haruka laughed hysterically. Hitoshi laughed too

"But you're alright though?" Hitoshi asked

"Yea I'm fine" Haruka smiled

"Good Usami-san would kill me if something happened to you" Hitoshi chuckled

"Daddy wouldn't do that" Haruka giggled and started munching on her food. Once they reached her apartment complex they went into the elevator and it wasn't long till they reached Haruka's apartment. She walked right in dragging Hitoshi with him "I'm home, Hitoshi's with me" they entered the living room to see Akihiko sitting on his laptop while her mother was cleaning the dishes

"Welcome home, baby" Misaki greeted. "Hello Kusama-kun"

"Hey Usami-san" Hitoshi greeted awkwardly.

"Thanks for walking Haruka home. Would you like a ride to yours?" Akihiko offered.

"I can walk home it's not that far" Hitoshi declined politely

"But want if something happens?" Haruka asked shocked.

"I'll text you when I get home to say that I'm safe, Promise" Hitoshi grinned ruffling her hair "Thanks for the offer and the concern" Hitoshi smiled before leaving the apartment.

"Don't you two get along well?" Misaki teased.

"His Japanese is strange today" Haruka commented.

"How so?" Akihiko asked

"He said earlier today when I said that the girl he likes might misunderstand and think we're dating he had said 'She won't otherwise she wouldn't be a crush she'd already be my girlfriend.' Strange right?" Haruka asked before marching off to her room. both her parents watching with wide eyes.

"I never thought that my little girl would be so dense" Akihiko stated

"I say it comes from you" Misaki stated returning to the dishes

"Excuse me, but, Takahiro?"

"But, your mother? One of the very people that made you" Akihiko rolled his eyes

"Okay fine it's both of us, happy?" Misaki walked over so she was standing behind him and kissed his cheek

"Very" and then pressed her soaking wet, bubble covered hands to his cheeks wiping off some of the bubbles before runing away only for Akihiko to chse her
