The next morning it was a bit less perfect. It was stormy outside and Sakura was scared. Takumi came to help his sister feel better, so he went to her room early in the morning.

Hinata slept perfectly! But that was the day before on Takumi's chest, this night was horrible for him. He couldn't fall asleep and when he did he had a terrifying nightmare; Takumi married Oboro instead of him. After that dream he couldn't sleep anymore, so he made some drawings of a his imagination where Takumi and he got married, and not Takumi and Oboro.

Oboro walked in. She looked at the drawings. "Even though this looks horrible, it still is a cute thought!" She grinned.

"Thanks! I guess... How come you're not tired?"

"Oh I slept great! I dreamed about our wedding! I mean Takumi and me."

"So did I, but it has actually kept me from sleeping!"

"You dreamed of me marrying lord Takumi? Haha, I always knew you were a fortune teller!"

"... Ha-ha-ha" Hinata said with a sarcastic voice and a sarcastic look on his face. He went back to colouring the drawing.

Oboro sighed and went downstairs, where she noticed Takumi cheering Sakura up. she looked shocked and asked: "What happened lord Takumi?"

"Oh, hi Oboro, It's nothing big. Sakura is afraid of the thundershocks. I'm trying to cheer her up." He said.

"Can I try to help?" Oboro said caring.

"Yeah, that would be great!" Takumi stood up and Oboro sat down on his place. She stroked Sakura's hair and told her it was going to be all-right! And after only two or three minutes Sakura stood up and whiped off her tears.

"T-thank you O-Oboro..! It helped a lot..!" Sakura said to Oboro.

Takumi praised Oboro for doing so. And Oboro said: "You're giving so many compliments lately, I didn't expected this many compliments coming from you!"

"Haha, I just want everybody to know I appreciate them!"

"That's good lord Takumi! I bet people will really appreciate that!"

He nodded and everybody went have breakfast. Oboro didn't sit next to Takumi this time, nor did Hinata. But Hinata and Oboro did sit next to eachother. Hinata was daydreaming again, he had his fork in the food and was making circles in it.

Oboro said: "Daydreaming again?"

"Hmm... Yeah... I don't feel very well today" He answered.

"What's wrong Hinata?"

"I didn't want to fall in love..." He whispered so only Oboro would hear it. "It complicates things..."

"Ohh... are you heartbroken?"

"No? I just wanna be with Takumi, but he doesn't know I'm into him!"

"Well, I can't argue on that... but you shouldn't feel bad! You're his personal retainer! Wespend a lot of time with him"

"Yeah, but he doesn't know I want to be more than his retainer! His husband?"

"Again, can't argue on that..." Oboro finished her breakfast, but Hinata still didn't eat a bit.

He said to himself: "I want him. I know I want him. He may want me too. I have nothing to lose. I should just talk to him!" He jumped off his chair and went to Takumi. "Hey Taku- I mean lord Takumi, can we talk?

"Yes, what is it Hinata?"

"No I meant private, just the two of us?"

"Uhm.. Yeah sure, what is it about? We can talk in my room if you want?" Hinata nodded and they went to Takumi's room. It wasn't a lot bigger than Hinata's room but it was way more tidied up. "So what is it Hinata?"

Hinata didn't ask but he let himself fall on Takumi's bed and said: "I'm a little tired today... I haven't slept well because of the storm..."

"Oh... Don't worry, we're all tired now and then!"

"I suppose so... But this has a special reason..." Hinata said.

"You can tell me anything Hinata! We're also friends after all!"

"Well, that actually is my problem..."

Takumi swallowed and slowly said: "What do you mean..? You don't want to be my fiend anymore?"

"No.. that's not it..." Hinata looked at Takumi and thought: I gotta say it now...! He tried to show off confidence, but he wasn't confident at all. "It's that... I like you...!" He sighed and bit his lip.

"Yeah, I know. Why did you have to tell me in private? You could have said that without us having to come to my room...!"

"No!" Hinata interrupted. "I mean like as in like-like?" He felt sweaty because of how nervous he was.

"Wait. Just come clear already!"

Takumi seemed impatient for Hinata's answer, so he answered quick: "I kinda got feelings for you! ..."

That was the moment, he told Takumi about his feelings, it felt like a relief, but Hinata still felt nervous for Takumi's reaction. He tried to read the emotion from Takumi's face; His eyebrows were raised, he bit his lip now as well, and he was propabably thinking. He didn't seem mad, or awkward. Just a little suprised, which meant that Hinata still could have a chance.

Hinata realized this was one of those moments that don't take long, but would feel like an eternaty. Finally Takumi opened his mouth and said: "Oh, Hinata.."

Somebody knocked on the door and immediatly opened it. It was Oboro.

"Are you guys all right? I heard noise coming from here?" She said in a rush.

Hinata thought: I know you didn't hear any noise at all! You probably found out that I was gonna speak about my feelings for lord Takumi with lord Takumi.

Takumi did believe her: "Nothing's wrong Oboro, we were just talking for a moment. But thank you for your concern."

Oboro thought: This is my chance! Not yours Hinata! "Lord Takumi... Now that we are here anyway, I should confess something...!"

"Ohh.."

She continued before anyone else could say something: "I think you're really cool, I always did. But I recently found out that I like you more than as my liege... I would like to form a couple with you!" She blushed, it wasn't how she expected to be, her romantical moment of confessing her love for Takumi, ruined because of her colleague.

"... You too now? Oh Come on!" Takumi said. "Hinata just told me the same thing!"

"Oh? Are you in love with lord Takumi as well Hinata?" Oboro said, acting suprised.

"Y-yes. I just told him."

"Cute. Now that I look at you, you should really shave. A beard doesn't look good on you." She grinned as she said that.

First she ruined his moment, and now she is making him look like a fool. Hinata got mad. "Oh! That's IT!"

He jumped off the bed and went to Oboro. "Come for a fight then! For the win of Takumi's heart!"

"Oh! You better watch your words! If you were smart you would have known that a Naginata beats a Katana!"

"My power will compensate with that!"

"Then let's fight! I'll give it everything I got!"

They both ran out of the room to get their weapons. Takumi was still standing in his room. He didn't know what to do. When he went downstairs he saw Oboro and Hinata with their weapons outside. They were yelling at eachother.

"I even let you spend yesterday with lord Takumi alone! I could have said that I wanted to come along!" Hinata yelled. "I granted you that!"

"And I thanked you for doing so! But you never mentioned that you were tell him about your feelings!" Oboro yelled back at him.

"Why would I? It's something between lord Takumi and myself!"

"Well now it's lord Takumi, Hinata and Oboro!"

"Then this fight will decide who is gonna be eliminated out of this love story!" Hinata said confident.

"Oh! Watch me! I'll give you everything I got! I won't hold back!"

"Haha, then this is gonna be so easy!"

"Oh. You're gonna need stitches!" She said with a nasty look on her face.

"Bring it on! Let's get wild!" He drew his Katana while yelling this at Oboro. She saw it so she redied her Naginata. Takumi saw this was going too far, so he ran outside.

"Stop this madness! What are you guys doing?" He yelled.
