"I suppose I'm not that close to you. Just what's wrong with you, calling me Hayato."
Haru looked at Gokudera.
She couldn't speak all of a sudden.
"Why are you doing here?" Elliot asked.
Gokudera glared at him.
Curse him, he thought.
'Returning to my own room.'
He didn't say that.
"Packing my stuff and move out." Gokudera didn't knew why did he say that.
He saw the look on Haru.
"..." Haru just stood there, looking at him.
'Don't go.' She thought.
She couldn't speak.
"Gokudera-kun, it will be better if you two sort things out properly..." Kyoko smiled.
Haru's hand was holding onto Kyoko's,
Gokudera looked at Haru, and he turned to walk into the room.
"Hayato," Haru quickly went in and shut the door.
"Haru!" She could hear Elliot calling her, but she ignored it.
"... What?" Gokudera looked at her.
Haru played with her fingers,
"I didn't mean to-"
"Does it make a difference?" Gokudera sighed as he pulled a stack of clothes out from the closet and put it into his bag.
"Hayato!" Haru took the bag away.
"What? Retur-"
Haru took a step back,
"It make a difference." Haru looked at him.
"Eh?"
"I-"
"I guess, you should just stay here and wait to be a happy bride," Gokudera stood up and took the bag back.
Haru bit her bottom lip,
"So, you want me to marry Elliot?"
"Why not. He's rich." Gokudera carried the bag and walked to the door.
"Really?" Haru watched helplessly as Gokudera walked to the door.
No strength to get him back.
"Bye." Gokudera opened the door and went out.

Yamamoto stood outside, and saw the look on Gokudera.
Everything wasn't alright.
No one spoke at that point of time, Yamamoto just followed Gokudera.
They past by Elliot's house, and Yamamoto knew Gokudera must be grumbling in his heart like a mad person now.
The big house of his, in fact only had one person living there.
Elliot.
He had stayed there for 20 years.
His parents being overseas,
He must be feeling very alone.
-x-
"Haru, I-"
"Sorry, but I guess Haru needs some time to be alone," Chrome smiled slightly as Haru returned to her room.
Kyoko bowed slightly,
"I'm leaving, take care."
-x-
Staring at those photographs,
Gokudera seldom really smile into the camera.
He will always grumble about why take the trouble to take a useless photograph.
She took one photograph out of the photo frame,
This picture was taken when Gokudera wasn't noticing.
He was smiling,
Really.
-x-
"So where are you going now?" Yamamoto asked,
Gokudera stared straight into the front, walking like just now.
He was ignoring everything he said.
"Aye, I got it." Yamamoto laughed softly,
-x-
Elliot's phone rang, and he picked it up.
"Hello? Mother? Bring forward it? But..."
Staring at the door,
"Alright, next two days then."
He walked to Haru's room and opened the door.
-x-
"What' the matter?" Haru's back was facing him.
"The wedding will be brought forward to this Saturday."
Haru nearly dropped the photograph,
"What?" She turned, forgetting the fact that Elliot has saw her tears-stained cheeks.
"Saturday? It's too early for-"
"It'll be alright, I'll arrange everything."
-x-
Yamamoto bowed at the photograph rested on the table,
His father.
Praying to his father silently,
He hoped both of his friends could find real happiness.
Gokudera was sleeping in the unused room, and before he could walk up the stairs, his phone started ringing.
"Hello?"
"It's me,"
Yamamoto drank the cup of tea,
"Chrome? What's the matter?"
"Haru... The wedding will be held this Saturday."
Yamamoto stared into the tea,
"... Yamamoto?"
"You mean, there's only 2 days and we will be attending the wedding already?"
"That's right..."
-x-
Gokudera heard the phone's conversation.
Closing his eyes, he lit the cigarette.
In 2 days,
Everything will be announced,
It's the end of them.
-x-
"It's pretty." Chrome praised Haru's dress,
"Chrome... It's too fast."
Haru covered her face with her gloved hands.
Chrome held the hands of her dear friend,
"The decision is in your hand, Haru. Once you've decided on it, I can't say or do anything to change it. But Haru, don't regret it."
Haru looked into Chrome's eye,
"If you're going to regret it, don't make that decision." Chrome smiled.
