"I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart." - Vincent van Gogh

Adeline takes a long sip of her milkshake, looking at all the the shelves of all the food as they pass her. "Wait," She says, looking at the shelves.

Haruhi stops the cart, "What is it?"

"That," Andy says, pointing, "A microwaveable brownie, with caramel?!"

Haruhi takes it of the shelf, handing it to Andy.

The two females decided they'd go and spend some time together and go shopping for what they would be having for lunch. Andy was in the cart, as Haruhi pushed it around, since Andy refused to use the riding cart. So, Andy hopped over and into the metal cart. She told Haruhi that it wouldn't bruise her ego as much as the riding cart would.

"What will we have for lunch," Haruhi asks, looking at Andy.

"I want mashed potatoes," Andy says, "You all can have whatever else you want, I just require that."

"Alright," she says.

"There's these bags of cut and skinned potatoes that you can just microwave and mash," Andy says, "To the freezer section!"

Soon, the two women decided they'd have baked chicken, fresh salad, corn and mashed potatoes. As they started to head to the check out, andy's phone rang.

"Hello," The red head asked. not looking at the number.

"Hello," A bright voice says on the other end.

"Holy shit," Andy swears, her eyes becoming wide with surprise.

As Haruhi looked on, she couldn't tell what was going on. She listened in as Andy scheduled something for when she get's back to UNC. Andy hung up after a goodbye. Looking up at Haruhi, Andy points, "Do you think we could go look at the make up?"

Haruhi gave her a look, "Who was that, Andy?"

"An interview," She says, "Possibly the hardest interview I'll ever do."

"Ok," she says, turning the cart to the make up.

"It was Oprah Winfrey," Andy says, "And she requested an interview... with me, no less... holy shit."

Haruhi smiled, turning the cart back around.

"What are you doing," Andy asks, looking up at her and taking another sip of her drink.

"You DON'T need make up for this," Haruhi said, looking forward, past Andy. "You don't need anything of the sort, because you never wear it. All you need is who you are. People love you for you, Adeline Val. People think you're beautiful even when you're a sweating mess. You don't need any of that superficial beauty."

Andy smiled at Haruhi, trying to hold back tears, "Thank you."

Haruhi smiles down at her, "How about we stop and get you another milkshake? Calcium is good for your bones."

Andy nods, and starts to hand Haruhi the groceries around her. As they were rung up, Andy paid for the groceries, telling Haruhi not to tell Kyoya.

"It'll be fine," Andy says, "Soon, U.S. Soccer will give the players our bonuses for winning Gold."

"How much are you getting, if you don't mind me asking," Haruhi asks as Andy maneuvers her way out of the cart.

"$50,000," Andy says, "I was thinking about getting a car... so it would be easier to see you guys more often."

"What are you looking at?"

"A Jeep," Andy grins, "In bright green. It'll take up most of the money, but it's worth it."

"A Jeep is the first car you want to own?"

"Perfect for muddy soccer gear," Andy nods.

"Perfect for you, really."

Andy smiles as she opens the door of the rented car and jumps into the drivers seat. "Thankfully it was my left leg that got broken," Andy says, holding down the brake with her right foot while putting it into gear. After a quick stop to pick up another milkshake, Andy drove back to where they are. Andy called Kyoya to get him and Tamaki to get groceries. As they went quickly to put all the stuff up, Andy went up the steps, one at a time, up to Tamaki's room, which is, thankfully, one floor lower than Kyoya's.

As she finally got to the door, she opened it and, after shutting the door, she immediately went over to the couch and flopped over. Pouting, she closes her eyes as her mind drifts off into a string of thoughts.

Haruhi set's Andy's milkshake on the table. She looks at the tall ginger, seeing her still. If Haruhi didn't know better, she'd say she was asleep. She looked calm and peaceful.

Just as Haruhi threw a blanket over her, Adeline's eyes open quickly, looking over at her. "What time is it," she asks, pulling the blanket around her.

"Almost noon," she says, "Take a nap, will you? You need rest."

"But... there's a game coming on," Andy whines.

"Is there any part of your life that isn't about soccer," Haruhi mutters as she starts to walk away.

Andy shook her head, "Nope! I'm an athlete, it's in my blood. It's who I am! Just accept me for me, will you Haruhi?" The next part, Andy didn't hear all of it, but she heard 'smart ass'.Though, a few minutes later, Andy did indeed end up asleep.

Haruhi threw a blanket over the sleeping athlete before going and starting to work her way through making an 'American dinner'.

Kyoya takes the remote from Andy's hand, pressing the record button before turning it off.

He looked over to see his best friend grinning. "I'm happy you two are getting along like this again," He states, before giving him yet another grin.

"I just have to stay back and wait," Kyoya says.

Tamaki frowned slightly, "It was hard."

Kyoya couldn't help by noticed that his statement wasn't a question. Tamaki knew how hard it was for Kyoya. He knew that Kyoya had to stand back and wait for her to become comfortable around him again. Kyoya couldn't force her into a relationship, or even a friendship, after that. He didn't know if Adeline would ever want to be near him ever again. But that didn't hurt as much as the fact that he knew that his words are what really hurt her, not that he lied. She was angry, yes, but she was more upset about her mother passing away. Kyoya was just someone she took the anger out on. He understands that, and he holds nothing against her.

But being patient, and not being able to help her thought all this as much as he wanted to, that was the hard part. He knew what it was like to lose a mother. Truth be told, he missed her almost every day. He wanted to know what she'd think of the person he's become, to know if she was proud of him or not, but most of all, he just wished she was here. That's what Andy is feeling right now, and Kyoya knew those feelings very well.

She was the kind of human being the world needed. A kind heart, a person who treated everyone right, even if they didn't do the same. Adeline was like that, in a way. Kyoya knew that if his mother were here today, she would adore Andy. Andy was the type pf person she would admire. Someone who is strong when needed to be, but very kind other wise, especially to children.

Tamaki gave Kyoya a look, "Are you ok, Mom Ami?"

Kyoya looked to the ceiling, "Just... thinking about my mother."

"It's been so long since then," Tamaki mumbled.

"Over twelve years," Kyoya states.

"Does it get any easier," Tamaki asks, looking up at him.

"No... no, it doesn't."

Tamaki put a hand on his best friends shoulder, and nodded. After, he left, Kyoya sat, his mind flooding with thoughts. Soon, the dinner will be done, and he glanced over, at the T.V.

Andy wasn't going to be happy, since her team just lost. Later that night, when Andy was hopping up the steps, Kyoya tried not to smile as she pouted and muttered. He caught things like 'should have not had a PK', and 'fuckin ref swallowed his whistle'. They got to Kyoya's door, and Andy leaned against the wall as he unlocked the door.

"That doesn't get any easier," She mutters.

"It's not forever," Kyoya says, unlocking the door. He steps aside, looking to her.

Andy starts to go in. Her cast catches the sill. Andy reaches back as she falls forward, feeling Kyoya's hand in hers immediately. Andy closes her eyes, expecting the floor, even if she knows she won't hit it now. She feels Kyoya pull her back up, so that she was once again standing. She looks up at him, a small grin on her face, "Thank you."

"Can't have you breaking your other leg," He says.

"I know, then I'll be out of a job longer."

"Oh ha ha," Andy says, folling it by sticking her tongue out at him.

As she steps into the door, and sits in a chair, she sighs.

"I hear you're having an interview soon," He states.

Andy nods, "It'll be... hard."

"You've survived everything so far," Kyoya says, "You can defiantly survive this."

"I just don't want this to make it so that my personal life become everyone's business," She admits.

"I'd hate to inform you that that is already the case."

"But... not like I have paparazzi following me every minute of every day... there's some aspects of my life that I want to be just mine," She says, crossing her arms. "No one needs to know what I do all the time, how I fall asleep, or shit like that... but will that change after this?"

"I think you're making it out to be worse than it will be," He says.

Andy grins, "Besides, believe it or not, all of this paparazzi stuff started before I started to date you. Well, not the after games and stuff pictures."

"I'm not sure if I should feel offended or not," He says, walking towards his kitchen.

"No," Andy says, "I didn't mean it like that. I meant it like... no one cared who I was really until I met you."

"People knew who you are," He says, starting to make coffee.

"Yes, they did," Andy agrees, "But... they didn't care what kind of person I am... or if I'd make a good anything... good enough anything."

"I thought you don't care what other's think," He says, looking at her.

"It's getting hard not to anymore, now that I'm a 'role model'. I've got to watch everything now."

He gives her a look, "What are you trying to say, Adeline?"

"Just... bring me back to Earth if I change to much or if it gets to my head. And know if I do change, that my feeling about you won't," Andy says, looking towards her feet.

Kyoya walked towards her listening to still talking.

"And if you ever just... want out or something, I guess, I won't blame you at all," She says. She feels someone grab her hands. Looking up, she sees his eyes.

"Adeline Val, I'd never want out of this," He says, giving her a smile.

"Are you sure," She asked.

"I wouldn't forsake what we have just because you have attention," He says. "Besides, you've dealt with attention from me, for being with me. And I don't thing you'll change that much, because you haven't yet."

Andy smiles, "It amazes me how much you believe in me."

"Why?"

"Because no one has believed in me as much as you do... not even me."

"I'm sure from what I've heard from your mother, both her and your father believed in you just as much."

Andy smiles, "I'm sorry." She stands looking at him still. She takes a deep breath, and closes her eyes. She didn't think, she didn't talk, she just did. Leaning in she places her lips on his, giving him a very soft kiss. Kyoya moves his hands, gently holding Andy's face, kissing her back just as gently. Andy couldn't help but to smile into the kiss as she wraps her arms around him, holding him close to her. It was the first time since they had that argument that Andy felt that kissing him was completely right. She's had to stop herself from doing so before, because she knew it wouldn't feel like this... feel like it use to, before everything happened. Since she's seen him after, her body kept wanting her to kiss him. Andy knew that it was because she was physically attracted to him, because her body wanted it... but her mind was always not ready. Now, however, her mind was. As the kiss got deeper, and more passionate, but still soft and sweet, she felt Kyoya's hands tangle themselves into her hair. As they broke the kiss, Andy closed her eyes as he rested his forehead against hers.

"You have no reason to be sorry, Adeline."

Andy opens her eyes, looking and seeing love and compassion in his... and understanding. She smiled, and pulls him close, her lips meeting his again.
