Flashback

The two girls watched intently, not even blinking an eye as Kanata and Miyu both extended their hands and touched the bottle at the same time. With the sudden gesture, both felt weird. Something unexplainable is sending them nerves on their spines. What was it?

The clock ticked a second, but both were still at that position. Two seconds then, Christine who was still beside Kanata, rose up from sleeping and saw the whole scene right in front of her. It made her fully awake and attempted to snatch the bottle from Miyu's grip. Three seconds passed, the two were still staring at each other because of the weirdness they felt while Christine's hand was reaching the bottle. On the fourth tick of the clock, Miyu heard a soft but loud moan from Ruu's bedroom that switched her back to reality.

It was five seconds when she managed to utter faintly "Ruu-kun..." as she finally left the bottle at Kanata's hand and immediately stormed away to Ruu-kun's room. Christine abruptly took a hold of the bottle and holding it for about a minute while pink hearts smoked out from the contact of her and Kanata's hands.

"Oh, Kanata! I am very glad that you found my lotion! Thank you." her eyes shaped into hearts and her pink cheeks were very evident. (A/N: Oh my God, she is really REALLY in love, huh?)

Aya and Nanami, on the other hand, were quite confused. They were somewhat befuddled as to how will the potion work effectively since there were three of them who had held the bottle. So there will gonna be Couple A – Miyu + Kanata, and Couple B – Christine + Kanata. The two girls seriously thought about it repeatedly.

"Hey, Aya!" Nanami whispered to other girl.

"Huh?" she softly answered back slightly turning her head to the one who called her.

"What will happen now? We made two couples here. This is a difficult love triangle. This wasn't in the plan." Nanami regretfully said cupping her chin with her finger, shaking her head in disbelief. Aya was also in that pose as Nanami was. Both were thinking seriously.

"Ah!" she proclaimed with her starry eyes twinkled in delight. An idea crawled unto her mind.

"What is it, Aya-chan?"

"This is going to be exciting! Hehehe..," she said showing a devious smile on her face. "Nanami-chan, this is a whole lot of fun!"

"How come?!" she couldn't get the point. "Earth to Aya! We have a big problem here!"

"No, listen here. Because of these circumstances, we have to change the whole plan now. Instead of bringing Miyu and Kanata together, we will just go with the flow. You see, fate made this. There is a reason for everything and there is a reason why did it go like this. Someone has to prove which is which. Which couple is meant to be?"

"Oohh... but hey! You said that it would be fun. What kind of scheme is creeping on your evil brain now?"

"Well, nothing much. Do you know what scorers in a match do?"

Nanami seemed to get what Aya has in mind (A/N: Of course! They have 'one mind' when it comes to this...ehehe). From out of nowhere, Miyu emerged from behind and between them.

"Hey guys! What are you up to? Would you mind if I join in?"

"Naahh... we were just planning how to hang Santa on a tree in a very romantic way..." Nanami said jokingly which made the three of them laughed.

"I would like to cooperate on that one. Hahahaha!!!" Miyu teasingly added.

"Anyway, aren't we going to my room? It's late. We better sleep now."

"No, it's okay. Tomorrow is Saturday so we do not have any classes. Am I right, Aya?" Nanami told with her battling eyes saying something to Aya.

"Yah, we can oversleep or don't sleep whichever you prefer. No need to worry, Miyu. You do agree, Nanami, don't you?" Aya spoke with her again starry eyes and hands clasped together after getting the redhead's message.

"You both are acting strange, don't you know that?" The three laughed whole-heartedly.

"Hey, Miyu. I wanna ask something." Nanami suddenly spoke. Her funny mood turned into something serious and moving her face closer to Miyu like it was a very confidential thing. "I just felt that you're hiding a secret from us, right?"

"Yah, I've been very eager to ask you about the same matter, too." Aya zealously agreed to the former.

"Huh?" the confused blonde girl muttered under her breath.

"Oh, come on, Miyu. It's too obvious!" Aya poked Miyu's head trying to make her say it.

"What?" Oh my God, i think they had discovered about Ruu-kun's identity, but how? Miyu asked herself. "What secret should I be hiding from the both of you?" she tried to deny her friends' claim fanning both of her hands in front of them signaling a 'no' gesture to them.

"Uh-uh..you're denying, Miyu! You're denying!" Nanami teased.

"No, I am not!" Miyu exclaimed softly. She has to lower her voice a bit so no one would get disturbed especially Ruu who was sleeping at the moment and she would not like to be discovered by the other people that they are talking about her secret.

I guess I should tell them now...about Ruu. It's very difficult for the four of us hiding and telling lies in front of my friends. They might felt that I don't have trust in my friends. I better tell them.

"Okay!" she faced them bravely. I'm gonna tell you –"

"—that you have special feelings for Kanata?" Nanami teased again.

Miyu quickly felt a bit hot as a tinge of red glowed on her cheeks. "Huh? Wait! I did not say that!"

"Oh, but your eyes sure speak of the truth!"

"That's not what I was supposed to tell!" Miyu defended.

"Oh! You mean you loved him already?" Nanami asked emphasizing the word 'love.'

"Love?!" Miyu repeated the word exclaiming it confusingly. Love... she also repeated it to herself. Miyu was thinking of a great excuse to escape from her friends' trap. "I- - I..ahh a..m - - "

"Miyu." Kanata interrupted them.

'Oh my, did he hear what we were talking just now? It was a good thing I did not gave up on that trap or else.. I'll be dead.' Miyu said to her mind and sighed apparently in relief.

"Do you know where Chris-chan went? She was just here a moment ago." Kanata interrupted her thoughts and continued on what he was talking.

Miyu remembered Kanata calling her name a few seconds ago.

"No, I just came back from Ruu-kun's room. Why?" she asked.

Kanata turned his head on the blonde-haired girl showing the whole of his gentle face. "Nothing, I just couldn't find her. Oh well, I am going to search for her." Miyu stood there looked a bit befuddled by that sudden attitude of Kanata.

"Aya!" Nanami whispered to Aya a few distance from the back of Miyu. "I thought he should fall for Miyu. Did you just see what happened?"

"Yah. That's what I thought so." Aya whispered softly in return. "Well, five points for Couple B!" Aya childishly proclaimed after pulling out a small notebook and a pen writing something on the paper.

"What? Five points?!! That quick?" Nanami cried out looking a little shock.

"Yes, indeed." Aya explained showing her forefinger gesturing that she says some explanation. "Because I have never seen Kanata's face that worried and to think that it was also the first time that I've seen Kanata looking for Christine, right?" Aya said loud enough for Miyu to hear.

"Shh... Miyu might hear it."

Miyu was somehow awakened from her thoughts after overhearing Aya's statement. She was right. It was also her first time that she saw Kanata's worried face. She had never seen him concerned about others. He was never patent over his feelings for others nor did he give a special care for the pink-haired girl.

Nanami glimpsed Miyu to see her reaction. After totally paralyzed from her thoughts, she walked near the television to turn it off. (A/N: they actually forgot to shut the television.) She did not look gloomy but she seemed to be surprised. She sat on one of the cushion and reached for the bottle of lotion. She stared at it for a few moments before putting it back on the table.

Aya and Nanami went near to their friend, but before they could sit with her, Miyu turned her head to face her nearing friend and showed a cheerful smile to them. "I want to sleep now."

You're brave. I thought you're gonna sit there and cry. "hahaha... You made me laughed, Miyu!"

But hey, why should she cry? It's not like she saw Kanata confessing her love to Christine, right?

"How? I didn't say any joke."

"Nah... I was just thinking of something." And the three of them chuckled lightly.

They stopped when they heard a faint "there you are" from the back of the door. They were sure of who was the owner of the voice.

"There you are!" Santa suddenly said. Miyu was frightened. Aya seemed to have seen a ghost. Nanami held her chest on the part where she can feel her heartbeat and the three took a deep breath after a few seconds of recovery.

"Santa, don't scare us again like that. You almost gave me a heart attack!" Nanami promulgated.

"What do you want anyway?" Miyu intruded.

"Well, I was going to invite you out. I wanna show you something."

"Who? Me?" Miyu asked.

"No, the three of you. The film showing is all set and I want you guys to see the short film I've been longing to see."

"Come! Let's go!" invited Miyu to the rest of the people. "I think it's the best timing for us to hang him on the tree, right?" Miyu whispered to the both of the girls jokingly.

"Ahh... wait. Where's Kanata and Christine?" Santa asked noticing the two people mentioned were not in the same room as they were.

Where the two did went?

It seems that this was a long chapter. Full of boring narration and wrong grammars, but I hope you like it! Thank you so much for reading. Reviews are highly appreciated. Please do so. Thank you!
