Chapter Four: Easy Steps.

The whole week for Hikaru was boring. Since Matsuko had school this whole week he was staying home studying for his permit since he didn't drive at all in Japan. He didn't tell the raven haired woman about doing his test in advance since he got the whole thing memorized. This weekend was the weekend Matsuko was going to move in with him. Hikaru didn't mind at all, it wasn't like he was going to do something with her or anything like that. He liked how he wasn't going to stay in his condo all alone, since Kaoru wasn't around or anyone close to him. He thought it was a great chance to get close to one another.

After school when Matsuko came home she grabbed all her boxes from the living room. She lived with her mother since her dad wasn't around, she had a younger sister of the age of ten named, Megami. They looked exactly alike but she had hazel eyes. When the three and Matsuko's uncle helped carried the bags and boxes out they were finally done.

The girl's mother pouted and embraced her older daughter, "I hope you do fine, you better visit. Then we'll visit you. I can't wait to meet Hikari too."

"Yeah mom, that's great. Anyways I have to go. See you soon," Matsuko said as she hugged her mother back then her sister.

When she drove to Hikaru's place she sighed. She didn't quite tell her that she was moving in with a guy, but with a girl. She blurted out that her name was Hikari and she was new to the state and how she needed some help around. 'Hopefully mom doesn't freak out when she realizes that Hikari's a girl,' she thought. When she arrived in the parking lot she got out of the car and texted Hikaru.

"Oh, hello there," the desk man greeted cheerfully as she waved to him.

"Hey. Hm, you know, I never asked what your name was, so... What is it?" She asked. Matsuko had some interest in the desk man because he's nice and he would always have a conversation with the girl in Japanese.

"The name's Kaze, and yours?"

"Matsuko," she said as the man smiled and nodded. Once they talked for a little while Hikaru came and greeted the desk man and grabbed one of the boxes.

"Come on, let's go,"

Matsuko nodded and grabbed a couple of boxes as she looked at Kaze and smiled, "Uh, I don't mean to be a bother but can you-"

"Certainly, my pleasure," the man smiled back and offered to help the two with the girls boxes.

Matsuko didn't bring much since Hikaru provided and bought her the stuff she needed. All she brung was her electronics, clothing and bathroom stuff. As they were done shifting the boxes to the condo the ash haired man tipped the helper as Kaze said goodnight to the both of them. Matsuko walked in to her bedroom and jumped into her bed that was covered with big maroon pillows and designed matching blankets and sheets. She was exhausted from school, since she studied with Ayamo at the same school she was annoyed twice as much.

"Hey, what are you doing in here?" Hikaru asked walking into her room.

She looked at him and groaned, "I'm resting. What are you doing in here?"

"You know this isn't your room, right? It's a guest room." He explained.

"Then where is my room?"

"Your room is my room," Hikaru said flashing the girl an innocent grin as Matsuko glared at him and threw on of the pillows at his face.

"No, hell no. Well, I better unpack my stuff. Better to do it now than later," she said getting up and opening the boxes one by one. She saw how the closets looked and she was happy. Since she had a lot of clothes thankfully her room had a walk in closet. Matsuko was glad that her mom packed her clothes since it was neatly folded and was faster to set up. Hikaru laid on his bed watching TV, he thought his roommate would get some shut eye right away, but he can tell she'd like getting the job done. 'What a workaholic, I bet she doesn't know what fun is even if it hit her,' he thought.

As he was flipping through channels to see what's interesting he heard the door knocking and then a scream from Matsuko saying, 'Hey, get the door I'm busy'. He groaned to himself as he got up and went to the door, when he opened it Kaze was there with his mail.

"I forgot to tell you, your mail. Here you go," Kaze handed the envelope to the guy as he smiled at his older guy and went on his way. When Hikaru looked at the mail which was only for school and the results of his test was. He opened the envelope slowly and nervously hoping he didn't fail at all. Matsuko was taking a break and notice that Hikaru was opening something, five minutes later he still didn't opened it. She groaned and took it from him, opening it as fast as she could.

"Oh, you took it without me. Wait, how'd you get there?" Matsuko asked curiously reading the letter.

He chuckled nervously, "Your uncle took me, so what'd I get?"

"You failed, just by one wrong answer," she said. There was a dead silence as she laughed and patted his back, "Just kidding. You passed. That means tomorrow let's see if you can actually drive."

"Wait, you're-"

Before he could finish his sentence she nodded and headed back to his room, "Anyways, I have to study. Night night."

It was one in the morning and Hikaru woke up again, due to his hunger. He walked to the kitchen to look for something to eat as he made a sandwich, before he walked to his room he noticed Matsuko was still up. Or he thought she was.

He walked in and looked over the desk that she was studying, Hikaru can tell she fell asleep. He poked her cheeks lightly as she nuzzled her nose and moved her head to the other side making the notes even more visible to the twin. He didn't like butting in to people's business but when he read it was a confession paper, 'A goal list. Hm, finish college. Make my own bakery. Buy a puppy. Go to Japan again.' he froze for a while when he read the last one, 'Help Hikaru cancel his marriage so he can marry someone better for him.' Hikaru smiled and carried her to her bed pulling the sheets on her as he patted the girl's head and walked out grabbing his sandwich.

The next day Matsuko woke up early to make breakfast for the two as Hikaru came out and stretched his body and rubbed his eyes, "Good morning, ready for today?"

"I suppose. Well eat, because we're going to work all day," she explained handing him a plate as they ate together.

After that was done they headed out to the parking lot, greeting Kaze a good morning while they walked. When Hikaru took the driver's seat Matsuko sat in the back as he looked behind and gave her a look. He didn't think she would be that terrified to be driving with him. Hikaru wouldn't blame her, it was his first time driving. He would always be used to people driving him around.

"What? I'm scared, you're going to pay for my damages too."

"But do you need to wear that?" Hikaru asked. Matsuko was covered up with pillows and wearing a helmet.

"Hell yeah. Now, what's the first thing you need to do,"

He snapped the seat belt on as Matsuko clapped, "Next thing?"

"Will you shut up, just let me do it so it can go faster. If I do something wrong just tell me, okay?" Matsuko just nodded and prayed to herself as Hikaru sighed and started the car. Going into reverse to move out of the parking then going foward. The ride was going smoothly, the girl didn't think Hikaru wouldn't even make it out of the parking lot. When he told her that she had no driving experience, she thought the older twin was lying.

"You thought I was going to do bad, huh?"

"You sure you never drove before?" Hikaru nodded as she smiled, "Are you doing this to impress me?"

Hikaru smiled as he began parking back to the parking lot, "May, be."

Matsuko slapped his arm lightly and began walking out, "Well it doesn't work for me, anyways, you did good. No need to worry about anything."

As the two walked out, Hikaru was slightly embarrassed to be seen with Matsuko only because she didn't take out her helmet or pillows off of her. Making people stare at them weirdly. When they got back to their place she opened up the computer to check her e-mails or anything like that, she noticed Kaoru was on. So she decided to do a video chat with him, as she waited for his response.

"Matsuko. How's you and my brother?" He asked cheerfully.

"Okay? How are you? Are you at France yet? Or where ever you were studying."

"Nope, in about a week or two."

"That's sounds good. Hope you find some girl before your mom sets up your marriage too," she teased as Kaoru rolled his eyes, "Hm, by the way. Hikaru got his permit, when he drove today he did beyond good."

"That's great. Did you see Ayamo around?"

Matsuko cheerful expression turned into a dull expressionless face, "Are you kidding me? She's everywhere at my school. She's probably upset about the whole Hikaru and I being a fake couple. Though I don't blame her, I feel bad every time I see her. She gives me this puppy look every, mother, freaking, time. I can't help it."

Kaoru laughed, "Sounds like something Tamaki-senpai would do. Good luck though, anyways, you and Hikaru must be busy doing something. I'll let you two carry on, bye."

As he waved and signed off Matsuko signed off after. Kaoru would always tease about the two since they've been spending time together. When she got up from the computer and into the living room she saw Hikaru there pouting to himself as she sat next to him.

"You okay? Are you hungry?" She asked feeling bad for the dark haired man as he nodded. Matsuko looked around just thinking, she didn't want to cook for him all the time. She snapped her fingers and dragged him to the kitchen.

"Since I'm here you can't expect me to cook for you, so I'm going to teach you the basics of cooking simple food," she explained proudly as Hikaru glared at the black haired girl.

"I can pay you to-"

"Money can't do nothing. Now, get some eggs out," she commanded him as he did what she did, "Crack them, like so."

As she cracked the eggs into the pan, he did the same but then left some shells along with it. Matsuko sighed getting even more hungry as she slapped the man with a big spoon and began taking the shells out. She handed Hikaru the spoon as she pointed to the pan, which means to stir it until the eggs are ready. He did, until the eggs were fully yellow and white, putting them on the plate.

"Hey, I wanna cook some more. What else can we cook?" He asked looking over her as she shrugged and looked in the refrigerator then the cabins.

"Uh, we can cook some pasta?" She said not sure about the idea as he nodded. So they cooked it, thankfully if anything bad had happened to the dish they could have remade it anyways. Not only that, Matsuko knew plenty of dishes since she did want to become a chef and baker later on in her life. As they were done Matsuko prayed again, not only for the food but for her health just in case it tasted awful since Hikaru cooked it all. She just told him what to do.

When he offered a plate of food to the girl as he smiled, feeling pretty accomplished about what he did today so far, "Eat up. Tell me what you think."

She nodded and twisted a forkful of the food as she slowly placed it in her mouth, praying it didn't taste bad. When she slowly chewed she grinned to herself, it wasn't bad at all, "Oh, wow."

Hikaru just smiled and ate his food. After eating peacefully they just sat down staring at one another as Hikaru coughed a little trying to ease the tension. As Matsuko tapped her fingers onto the table.

"I think you should go on a date with Ayamo," Matsuko muttered out as Hikaru looked at her. The twin thought the girl was crazy as he stood up and banged his hands on the table.

"Are you crazy?"

"Pretty much, look one simple hang out. Then done. Maybe if you tell her that you don't want to be with her then it'll be easier for you to tell your mom about the whole 'I don't want to get married to some crazy obsessive girl'." She explained trying to get Hikaru to calm down.

He groaned and slapped his head walking around as he sighed, "I will do it if-"

"If?"

He smirked and bent over to look face to face with Matsuko, "You go on a actually date with me, no pretending. Like us two, formal, going some where and make you fall in love with me."

She rolled her eyes. Hikaru would always say that she'd fall for him, but she'd disagree with him. Matsuko covered his face with her hand, "I am not going to fall for you."

The ash haired boy pouted, "'D'aw come on. Just say you will, you don't have to have any meaning to it."

"I only say it if I did fall for someone, but for now you're getting on my nerves."

"I love you too," Hikaru said innocently as Matsuko shook her head and walked away from him.
