I DO NOT OWN APH
Nanase's POV
Dancing with Fuyuki last night was a lot of fun, even though I'm a terrible dancer. As we walked home that night, I wondered if he knew just how much I cared about him. He didn't have to be my boyfriend; none of the romance really mattered to me. As long as I could see his smile often I would be happy, even if it was for another. I'd be lying if I wasn't upset at that thought, but he wasn't mine to begin with. I made a mentally listed the things I liked about him. I loved the way he smiled, his eyes, and his hair, and his determined expression he always seemed to wear. But I also enjoyed the intangible things about him, like his sense of humor, his intellectual side, and the immense care he took in dealing with others. He seemed to have emotions that ran so deeply. I really liked him more than any of my other crushes in the past. Even if we didn't end up together, I'd always have a special place in my heart for him. This I was very sure of.
So I stood on my tiptoes as we walked, tapped on his shoulder, and whispered, "Vous etes une personne mervelleuse."
"Huh?" he said, tilting his head to the right. I smiled. He was just so charming.
"I said, 'You're a wonderful person.'"
"Oh! Th-thank you," he said shyly.
"No problem. Apres tout, vouse me donnez la force de vivre."
"What was that?"
"Nothing, I just like having you around."
"You really do like French, don't you, Nana?"
"Yeah. I think it's a beautiful language."
"Me too...you know, Nana, a year ago I wouldn't have been able to speak a word to you."
"I'm not intimidating, am I?"
"No...it's...hard to explain. You're just so...kind."
"Thank you."
I went to sleep that night with happy thoughts, had a nightmare, then awoke with happy thoughts of having breakfast.
As everyone waited for Ludwig and Tomoyo to come outside, we talked about driving to Mount Fuji and hiking it. It sounded tough, but a lot of fun!
"Where...are they?" Heracles asked, to no one in particular.
"Who knows," Suzuran responded, rolling her eyes. "Those two are crazy."
"So where are we going for breakfast?" Fuyuki inquired, checking the map that Kiku was holding.
"Not quite sure yet...what about McDonalds? There's one not too far away from this hotel."
"Sounds good enough."
"Hey, Fuyuki?" I asked.
"Yeah?"
"Do you still ski and snowboard?"
"Yeah, how did you know?"
"Um...I..."
"You can tell me, it's okay."
"You remember in middle school when we got to make our own websites? Well, I visited yours on skiing, okay? I'm sorry!" I said, bowing.
Tomoyo's POV
I walked out of the lobby to find Nanase bowing to Fuyuki.
"Fuyuki, what did you do this time?" I asked, pretending to be grouchy.
"N-no! You don't understand! It's my entire fault!" Nanase wailed, still bowing.
"No! It's not your fault; I'm flattered, really. I can't believe you liked me that much," Fuyuki said, putting his hand behind his head with a smile.
"I...I did," the former responded, standing up, and wiping a tear from her eye.
"Will someone please tell me what's going on?" Ludwig pleaded. Takashi informed him, and he nodded.
"Let's go...to McDonald's!" Heracles said, with delayed enthusiasm.
"So that'll be 8 bacon egg and cheeses' to go?" the voice through the speaker asked.
"That's right," Kiku replied.
"...yep," added, Heracles, who was sitting in the passenger's seat.
"Please move forward," the voice directed us.
We drove forward and got our food.
A few hours later, I awoke from a nap on Ludwig's shoulder.
"We're here!" Kiku and Heracles cried in unison, although Heracles' "here" was a little late.
And so we began our hike up the mountain.
After about 30 minutes, Heracles began to wheeze.
"Do you have asthma or something?" I asked, genuinely concerned.
"...yes..." he responded. Kiku looked concerned for his friend.
"Do we need to slow down the pace?" Fuyuki asked, who was leading the group along with Nanase.
"I think you should, just in case," Suzuran suggested.
Nanase and Fuyuki obeyed. In the back of the group was me. I was wheezing as well, but from tiredness.
"You can do it, daze~!" Takashi cheered me on. I laughed dryly at his mild sarcasm.
Ludwig, however, was near the front of the group. I called for him to come back. He listened, and we continued our trek.
Hours later, we had reached the top of the mountain, but it was getting dark, and we were troubled by the idea that we wouldn't make it back to the trailer in time.
"Wait!" Nanase called from a few feet behind us. "We should take a picture! It's overlooking the water and everything!"
And so we did.
After that, we happened to find an old shack that was big enough for us all to sleep in. We ate the food we had packed, and one by one fell asleep.
Nanase's POV
I awoke that night, feeling like the space was very cramped, and tiptoed out of the cabin. On my way out, I saw Tomoyo laying over Ludwig, who had his arm around her and whispered, "Du bist so schön." or "You're so beautiful" in German to her. Yeah, I know a little German, thanks to Tomoyo. Also, Takashi and Suzuran were cuddled next to each other in their sleep. Heracles was sprawled across Kiku, who didn't seem to mind. Fuyuki sat alone in a corner of the shack, head resting on his chest in a light sleep.
I walked outside, quietly closing the door, and climbed up onto a high rock overlooking a beautiful body of water.
"So you're awake, too?" a voice asked me.
I gasped and turned around. There was a man with silver hair and beady red eyes grinning slyly.
"It's me, the awesome Gil is back!"
I looked at him curiously. Who the heck is Gil? I thought.
"What are you doing on Mt. Fuji?"
"This."
He punched me right in the stomach. I buckled down in pain and I started to make gagging movements like I was about to throw up.
He grabbed my hair and pulled me up harshly. I cried out in pain.
"Listen here you, Füchsin, If you know what's good for you, you'd keep away from my Brüder, got it?"
"I-I don't know who y-your bro-
He kicked me over.
"Don't play dumb with me!" He snarled. "You know very well who he is! If you don't keep your mouth shut around him, I'll come back and do worse, you got it?"
I nodded quickly as tears streamed down my face.
"Good." He grabbed my hair again and pulled me up roughly. I cried out.
"Shut up and get a hold of yourself." Said Gil, slapping me. "Go back to that shack."
And he disappeared into the darkness….
I slowly walked back to the shack. When I went inside, Fuyuki was making his way across the floor strewn with people.
He looked up and said with relief "Oh. You're back. I woke up and I couldn't see you around so I was going to go look for you." Then he noticed my tears.
"What's wrong Nana? Did you have another nightmare?"
I wiped my tears quickly and nodded with a fake smile, "Yes, it was just another nightmare."
"Do you want to talk about it outside?"
"Okay...but stay close to me, okay?"
"Alright."
He didn't question my request but only listened and held my hand. We started walking down a trodden-down path, and after a few minutes, he asked, "Um...what was it you wanted to tell me about your dream?"
"Uh...nothing in particular. It was just...frightening." I touched the place on my cheek where Gil had hit me, and felt tears come to my eyes in pain.
"Hey, shh, don't cry," Fuyuki comforted me. He stopped walking and pulled me into a gentle hug. I held on tighter as I cried more.
After awhile, I looked up, and he used his thumb to wipe a tear from my cheek. I flinched in pain.
"W-what's wrong?" he stammered.
"I just...got a bruise, that's all."
"Come into the light," he said quietly, as we walked away from the trees. "You're covered in bruises!"
"I..." I tried to speak, but more tears fell down my face.
"Nana, answer me. How did this happen?" He held onto my shoulders, looking me straight in the eyes.
"There was... a..." but I couldn't speak through my tears.
"Please tell me," Fuyuki said, shaking me.
"I...can't...I'm not...supposed to!" I wailed and fell to my knees.
Fuyuki stopped, knelt down, and hugged me. Slowly I stopped crying and hugged him back.
"I...I'm sorry..." I whispered into the darkness of the night.
"You don't have to be sorry for crying, silly," he said with a little laugh. He started to break the embrace, but I held on.
"Are...you okay?" he asked cautiously.
"J-just...upset for more than one reason," I said softly.
"Do you want to tell me?"
"I...I...the boy I knew in middle school barely cared about me! So I'm worrying that you don't care, even now!"
He was silent for a minute, then pulled me back to look me in the eyes.
"I care about you very deeply, Nana. Nothing will ever change that. I cared about you then, even if I was too scared to show it, and I care about you now."
"Okay," I sighed, relieved. "I care about you too."
We walked back to the cabin and I fell asleep with my head on his chest.
Tomoyo's POV
The next morning, everyone was up early but Nanase and Fuyuki. They looked too cute for me to wake them up, but Takashi had no problem screaming in their faces.
"GOOD MORNING, LOVEBIRDS DAZE~!" he said with a laugh. They awoke, startled, and looked at each other and blushed. "He's just kidding," Suzuran added as she pushed him away.
And so we set off down the mountain. It was a lot easier, and it took much less time. We were all starving by the time we got back to the van. We all piled in and drove to the nearest store and raided it of breakfast foods. Of course, Kiku made sure we paid.
And off we went!
Ludwig drove back to Tokyo, giving Kiku a break and a chance to talk to everyone. I sat up in the passenger seat next to Ludwig.
"Hey Ludwig?"
"Hm?"
"When should we tell the others about-
"Soon." Ludwig blushed and looked uncomfortable. "Just not yet ok?"
I nodded. "Sure."
"Hey, what are you guys talking about, daze?" Asked Takashi suspiciously.
"Nichts." Said Ludwig.
"He means 'nothing'," I said, translating. "Now Takashi, go and mind your own business."
"Well, excuse me," Huffed Suzuran, glaring at me.
I rolled my eyes and rested my head on the seat rest.
