This chapter had a mind of it's own but I hope you enjoy regardless!

Chapter 18: Because You're Here

"Wait... how are you in here?" I asked Mimi with an incredulous expression on my face.

"What do you mean?" She asked my in return, a fake innocent expression on her face.

"You're underage, the bouncers shouldn't even let you in this place."

"What can I say? You've got friends in high places." She said, smiling as she looped her arms around one of Sou's who smiled blindingly at me in response as well.

"The bouncers took one look at me and Haru and they didn't even bother asking everyone for ID. How do you think you got in here?"

I vaguely remembered just walking into the club without a second thought and finally accepted that Sou was telling the truth.

"Sneaky." I laughed mildly at Sou's smug expression before watching Ayame drag Hatori into the crowd enticingly.

"Gosh, if they start grinding against each other then I'm denying my familial connection to them." Mimi stated, before she shuddered dramatically.

I laughed briefly, "You do know this club is crawling with gay guys, it'd be perfectly normal for them to be grinding against each other. Hell, it would probably be expected of them!"

Mimi frowned, "Damn, you're right." She seemed to look at me expectantly for a while longer and then finally she gave me the 'well-what-are-you-still-doing-here' look.

"What?" I asked a little hesistantly.

"Well?"

"I'm not going out there by myself!"

"Why not? Come on, Yuki-nii! We've come all this way already! There are bound to be some hot guys here. We can't just stand in the entrance awkwardly all night long, now can we?" Mimi let go of Sou's arm and looped through mine instead. "Let's go!" She announced before she practically dragged me a little ways away from where Ayame and Hatori were dancing against each other on the dance floor.

The song had a beat that made you want to start dancing and with a sigh that's exactly what I did.

"Whoo hoo!" Mimi shouted as I started getting into it. The rest coming to join us too.

Just as I was starting to think that I was glad that I allowed Mimi to drag me here, I felt someone pinch my ass. Gasping, I turned around, fully ready to destroy the motherfucker who decided it was okay to sexually harass me, only to be held against a strong chest.

I shoved a hand playfully at the chest, "Fuck you, Haru! I almost broke your fucking nose."

Haru laughed good-naturedly as he wound his arms with more relaxation around my waist.

"Aniki is going to be so jealous when I tell him that I danced with you." He stated with a devious smirk and I snorted in return.

"What's up with you and Shin-nii always wanting to dance with me anyway? Even at the club a few months ago." I asked, snaking my hands around his neck and pulling his head down further so we could speak to each other without having to shout too loudly over the crowds.

Haru shrugged in response as we continued to rock to the beat. "You've got good rhythm... plus, you're hot."

I scoffed, "Wow, thanks."

"No problem." He stated, smirking.

Sou came around then with Mimi, passing drinks to everyone, Haru and I breaking apart to take one each and sipping blissfully.

"Er... should I break that up?" Sou asked me nervously.

I followed his line of vision to see Ayame and Hatori making out slowly with both of Ayame's legs wrapped around Hatori's waist.

I shook my head, "Nah, leave them be."

Sou and I both seemed to scan the crowds and asked simultaneously, "Where are Seiji and Aki?"

Both of us looked at Mimi as she snorted and almost spat her drink out before catching sight of Seiji and Aki making out as well, Seiji's hands planted firmly on Aki's ass.

Sou and I stared a bit longer before Sou turned to me and clapped me on the shoulder, "Well, that's not something you see everyday."

"Lies, we see it all the time." Haru pointed out.

"Ya, but never in public and when did Seiji get that bold?" Sou asked as he turned his head slightly to get a better view of where Seiji's hands were.

"Well, good for them! We should be having a good time too!" I shouted as Haru, Sou and Mimi raised their drinks in approval.

A couple of drinks and a few laughs more, I started really getting into it. I had probably danced with 10 random guys who all seemed to want to take it a bit further than I was comfortable, luckily Haru, who was now acting as my sort of pseudo bodyguard, was there to save the day by shooing the guys away when things got too far for my liking.

"Haruuu, I luuuurv you." I practically purred as I fell into Haru's arms after another guy just tried to grope me again.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm glad I didn't drink much otherwise who would look after your sorry ass?"

I was silent for a moment as I thought of Kyo who would've probably been in Haru's position if we were still together... and I probably wouldn't be as drunk, not that I was incredibly drunk anyway. I was mostly playing a worse drunk than I was so I wouldn't be expected to give proper, intelligent answers that I knew were going to be wanted by Haru the moment I sobered up.

I sniffed a bit as I felt tears well up in my eyes, feeling extra emotional with the added alcohol in my system. "Kyo would've."

I felt Haru tense a bit under me before he rubbed my back soothingly. "Hey, it's okay. That small prick doesn't deserve you if he left you. I should've beaten him up when I had the chance."

I punched Haru weakly, "He doesn't have a small prick! It's very large in fact!"

Haru pulled a disgusted face, "Way too much information... gross."

"It's not gross either, it's quite lovely."

"Yuki... you just referred to Kyo's dick as lovely. I doubt he would be pleased with that."

I straightened my back and scoffed, "He doesn't deserve to be pleased! He's an asshole!"

"Does he have a lovely one of those too?" Haru teased and I pulled my tongue out in response.

Haru laughed and straightened me up as I started slumping again.

"Come on, how about we go back to the table?"

"Nope! I wanna dance some more! Come on, Haru! Dance with me!"

"Could I dance with you?"

I turned my head to face the person who'd spoken.

"Er..." Haru said as I smiled at the guy. He certainly was attractive.

"Come on, just one dance." He coaxed me, completely ignoring Haru, and held his hand out to me.

I took it and smiled, "Sure."

I heard Haru groan from behind me, whispering in my ear that he'd be keeping his eye out for me before the dark-haired guy pulled me deeper into the crowd.

Showing my ID to the bouncer outside of the club, I walked along side Kazuki as he made his way through the entrance and to the bar.

"I can't believe you dragged me to a club!" I shouted over the noise as Kazuki sat down at one of the high stools.

"Oh come on, it's gonna be fun!" Kazuki shouted back as he got the bartenders attention. "Plus, you haven't even looked around yet."

Confused, I took in the scenery of the club. I furrowed my eyebrows when I saw nothing particularly out of the ordinary.

"I don't understand."

"Wow, you're slow." Kazuki replied. Standing up, he placed his arm around me and turned me towards the mass of bodies in the club.

"Look at the people in the club, Kyo."

"I've looked, there isn't anything out of the ordinary. Guys and girls. So what?"

"But look who they're dancing with."

Staring a bit more, it finally dawned on me.

"You took me all this way so I could go to a gay club?"

Kazuki smiled, "Finally you notice! Do you like? Hmm? Hmm?"

I snorted a bit at Kazuki's tactics, "Did you forget the part when I said I'm only attracted to Yuki?"

"No, but it couldn't hurt. Plus, I wanted to see what one would be like and I saw this on the internet. They're one of the only clubs to actually have gay night. They're like a sibling club to the one that the Sano brothers own. It takes a while to get here though and usually their gay nights are during the week but sometimes they make a gay night on the weekend."

"The Sanos own this?"

"No but the two clubs are linked to each other... in a way at least."

I 'hmm'ed with slight interest before looking around the club again.

A new song started up and Kazuki immediately perked up, grabbing our drinks he pulled on my hand dragging me onto the dance floor.

It was easy to go along with the crowd, most of who were just swaying to the awesome beat.

"Let go of me!" I heard someone shout. The voice was really familiar which is why I looked around trying to find the source of the voice which really wasn't hard considering many people were looking in the same direction.

My eyes widened as I took in the sight of Yuki pushing a dark-haired guy away from him.

Why isn't he just breaking the fucker's hand? I thought as I immediately made my way over, Kazuki following with concern behind me having watched what was going on as well.

I quickly made my way through the crowd, most of them having gone back to dancing, and grabbed the man's shoulder, pulling him away from Yuki.

"Is there a problem here?" I asked, glaring down at the guy who was just about my height.

"Kyo?" I heard Yuki gasp, voice full of surprise.

"You know this guy?" The dark-haired bloke asked Yuki who just nodded, still recovering from the shock.

"Ya, I'm his boyfriend so back off." I snarled.

"What about that black and white haired dude?"

Yuki shook his head, obviously finding it hard to recover from the shock still.

"Just leave."

The guy growled a little before saying something that sounded oddly like "little slut" before walking away.

I made to go after him but I felt someone tugging on my arm only to find that it was Yuki. "Don't. I didn't want to hurt him for a reason. They're really strict about fights here. Just calm down."

"That fucker called you a slut, I'm going to fucking murder him!" I shouted, prepared to pull Yuki with me if I had to. No one insults my boyfriend like that and gets away with it.

I felt Yuki's resistance once again before I felt his hands snake up all the way until he had a firm grip on my neck before pulling me down and kissing me soundly on the lips.

My mind blanked and I pulled Yuki closer to me, my hands moving down to land at those sexy hips.

Yuki pulled away with a final lick and rested his forehead against mine, our breath mingling between us.

"At least I still know how to calm you down." Yuki whispered, our lips almost touching again.

I moaned at the sexiness in Yuki's voice, leaning down to nip lightly at his bottom lip before licking it.

I felt a tap on my shoulder and I swatted the hand away not ready to break contact with Yuki after such a short time of getting it back.

Kazuki's voice broke through, the tapping on my shoulder returning, "I hate to break this up but people are staring."

Yuki pulled away from me with a shock, eyes widening as he realised that Kazuki had been with me the entire time.

"Oh shit!" Yuki exclaimed.

"It's okay, it's okay! I know." Kazuki stated.

Yuki's eyes widened even further as he looked at me and then anger overcame his expression. "You told him!"

"Yuki, just calm down, okay? Let's go somewhere quieter."

I pulled a reluctant Yuki towards an empty table alongside a table housing a kissing couple. Looking a bit closer I recognised the dude sitting on the other dude's lap as Aki.

"Aki?"

A dazed Aki broke away (with some effort it seemed) from a half-satisfied Seiji.

"And Seiji... hey."

Aki looked like he wanted to protest a bit at the sight of me and Yuki together but Seiji pulled him back and went straight to occupying his mouth. I heard them both moan before making my way the short distance to the other table where Yuki was already sitting, legs crossed while Kazuki stood awkwardly off to the side.

"So... er, where were we?"

Yuki tapped his finger impatiently against the table top, "You were about to tell me how the hell Kazuki knows."

"Oh yeah, right... about that, do you remember when I watched that birthday video you made for me?"

Yuki blushed a bit but nodded nonetheless.

"Well Kazuki sort of stumbled across it."

Yuki's anger turned towards Kazuki, "And you watched it?"

"It was an accident!" came Kazuki's immediate defense.

"How the hell is that an accident?" Yuki shouted.

"I hardly think this is the necessary argument." I chimed in.

"Why the hell didn't I know about this?"

"He only found out yesterday! Besides why should I have to tell you? We decided that family and friends could know and Kazuki's a friend."

"Well obviously I have to know, it involves me."

"Well now you know."

Yuki glared at me for a bit before he sighed and rested his chin in the palm of his hand as his arm rested against the table.

"Why are you here, Kyo? Are you stalking me or something?"

"No! It was a total coincidence! Kazuki's the one that brought me here."

Yuki looked between us, "Are you two..?"

I pulled my face in horror, "No! He just wanted to cheer me up. Wanted me to get out of the room."

"And where's your girlfriend then? Plus, I thought you don't like guys... beside me... that is." Yuki finished lamely.

"It was a guy's night out and I don't. Like other guys that is... just you."

An awkward silence followed shortly after and we all sort of looked towards the table, avoiding eye contact with each other.

"I'm gonna head to the bar... do you guys want anything?" Kazuki asked and Yuki and I both shook our heads before Kazuki turned to leave, obviously attempting to give us the best peace and quiet one could get in a rowdy club.

"How could you tell him?" Yuki said softly, turning to me once Kazuki had left.

"Oh, like your friends don't know?" I questioned angrily, suddenly irritated with Yuki's accusations.

"But we're not even a couple anymore, Kyo!"

I stood back, shocked at the ferocity with which Yuki said it. "I know." I whispered quietly in response.

"Sorry... it's just, I was planning on having a Kyo-free night. I mean, we broke up, Kyo, and then yesterday in the Student Council room, when you kissed me. Let's just say I'm not faring too well."

"You kissed me back." I stated almost accusingly.

"Of course I did. But I'm not the one with a girlfriend."

Silence enveloped us like a blanket as the time went by minute after minute before Yuki spoke up again. "I shouldn't have kissed you earlier. I'm sorry."

"Why not?" Sighing as Yuki just shook his head in response, I motioned for him to shift up on the long seat, sitting down next to him once he'd moved. "I'm sorry about this shitfest. It's all my fault."

"It really is." Yuki said. He turned his head a bit in my direction, my head hanging down in guilt, smiling slightly. "I don't really want to be on bad terms with you though." He said after a moment.

"I don't want to be either but-"

"There's a 'but'?"

"Kagura. She doesn't want me hanging out with you."

Yuki gave me a weird look, "Me? Why, me? Technically, according to everyone, we weren't even really friends. I was just your girlfriend's older brother."

I realised my slip and hastily thought of an excuse, "You being family and all."

Yuki nodded, "Tight reins."

I laughed bitterly, "You have no idea."

Yuki seemed to be thinking for a moment, "Secret friends?" he asked, sounding hopeful.

I smirked, "You want to be my secret friend? Wow, it will almost be like before."

Yuki smirked in response, "Why not?"

"I've missed you." I couldn't stop myself from saying.

Yuki's smirk vanished and he stared at me with wide eyes, swallowing thickly, before he smiled sadly, "I've missed you too."

I leaned in a bit, watching Yuki in response, before I nestled my face in the crook of Yuki's neck and inhaled deeply before sighing in contentment.

I reveled in Kyo's warmth as he lay his head in the crook of my neck.

"Hey, Sei, Aki! Have you seen Yuki? Fuck! I took my eyes off of him for a second and he fucking vanishes! I swear, if he left with that fucking idiot I'm gonna wring his neck!"

I blushed hearing Haru's voice at the table over, I cleared my throat loudly gaining Haru's attention, "I'm over here!"

I watched Haru make his way over quite quickly, sighing in relief as he saw me with Kyo, whose head was now away from me, instead of the black-haired dude and then he almost growled at Kyo as if remembering our predicament. "Get the fuck away from him, Yuki! We're going home!"

I sighed, "Haru, you're being ridiculous."

"I'm being ridiculous! Are you insane? This douchebag's lucky he's even alive in front of me, I swear I'll kill him if you don't fucking get away from him!" Haru shouted dramatically.

"And where the fuck were you when Yuki almost got raped by that bastard on the dance floor?" Kyo shouted, obviously tired of just sitting there.

I gasped, "Raped? What the fuck, Kyo? Don't rile him up!" I yelled at Kyo who just scoffed in response, "Haru, just leave it alone. Kyo and I are friends now. Just give me a moment. Please?" I practically begged.

Haru growled before kicking the leg of the table and stomping off in the direction of the bar.

"So you brought Haru too? Were you on a double date with Aki and Seiji or something?"

I snorted, "Oh, come on. You know there's never been and never will be anything between me and Haru so there's no need to get jealous, Kyo. Besides, we're not here alone anyway, Sou's here and so is Mimi, Ayame and Hatori. Mimi organised the whole thing."

"So what? It's like a mini party?"

"Yeah, sort of. Mimi wanted me to stop moping around the house so she somehow got everyone to agree, even Seiji and Aki."

"I've never seen them like... that before."

I laughed, agreeing with by way of a nod, "I think Riza-san's been picking up a lot of extra afternoon and night shifts lately so Seiji and Aki have been looking after Hana-chan for a while and don't really get to have alone time so when they were allowed to finally go out tonight I think Seiji finally lost his restraint especially since some guy tried to pick-up Aki earlier right in front of Seiji and put his hand on Aki's ass. Seiji's hands have been plastered there ever since and they've practically been glued together all night."

"I see. Hana-chan, how is she lately? Still a goody two shoes?"

I returned Kyo's smirk, "As always. I've been trying to help Seiji and Aki out with Hana-chan as usual but Student Council duties have sort of gotten in the way a lot of the time so-"

"You shouldn't feel bad," Kyo interrupted, "I'm sure Aki's not blaming you. You know, I could still help out."

"You wouldn't mind?" I asked him, shocked that he would even bother to offer his help.

Kyo snorted, "Are you kidding me? Hana's awesome. You'd be making my day."

I smiled at Kyo, "I'll ring it by Aki. Thanks, though. That's really sweet of you, you really don't need to do it."

"It's really no problem at all."

"I wish there were something I could give you in return for your trouble."

"Seriously?"

"Yip, anything."

"Okay then. Since you insist. A kiss. After I return Hana to you."

"A kiss?" I asked as I looked at Kyo as if he'd lost a few screws.

He shrugged, "Why not?"

"Er... how about the fact that you've got a girlfriend?"

He shrugged nonchalantly once more, "She'll never have to know."

Kyo had definitely lost his mind but with the way things were turning out, I couldn't really complain. Contemplating over it a bit longer, I finally nodded my head.

"Okay. One kiss after each day you take Hana-chan out but obviously Aki has to agree to the arrangement first."

Kyo smirked looking like the cat who just got the cream, "Perfect."

Giving Kyo another weird look, I finally asked the question that had been on my mind for quite some time, "Did you treat our relationship like this? Flirting with-"

"Gorgeous blokes?" Kyo smirked.

I raised an eyebrow at the insinuation, "Random girls telling them that it was okay to get kisses from them even though you were in a relationship?"

Kyo snorted, "No way, you had me wrapped around your finger... Still do in fact. Hence our current situation."

I stayed silent for a bit before I laughed and shook my head, "Weirdo."

"Yuki. We're going home." came Ayame's stern voice.

Hatori stood next to him, a blank look on his face. The two were holding hands though and I could see that they were keeping each other in place from attacking Kyo verbally, and possibly even physically on Ayame's part.

Noticing the sound in Ayame's voice as the one you never defied, I swiftly got up and motioned for Kyo to let me through.

Kyo stood up too, almost tentatively and stayed silently on the side, waiting for me to move out of the seat and attempting to avoid eye contact with Ayame and Hatori.

"I'll talk to Aki about Hana-chan and then I'll message you about the arrangements, okay?" I asked him quietly, reaching for his hand in a gesture of comfort, one that Kyo seemed to appreciate.

"Cool." He said quietly after a moment.

I then carefully leaned in and kissed his cheek, "See you Monday." I said finally and pulled away from Kyo, following behind Hatori and Ayame who was now leaning into Hatori's side,his arms circling his waist as Hatori ran a soothing hand up and down Ayame's back.

I walked in silence behind them as the rest of the gang caught up with us.

Once outside, we headed in the direction of our cars. Aki walked up beside me, Seiji on his other side, "Are you okay?" he asked, voice full of concern.

I nodded, "I'm good."

"He didn't do anything did he?" came Seiji's practically monotonous speaking voice.

I shook my head, "At least nothing that I didn't want."

Aki wound one of his arms around my waist and rested his head on my shoulder. "Are you sure you're okay?" he asked softly.

I sighed, "I will be."

I felt Sou drape his arm around my shoulders a few moments later, Mimi walking ahead, after shooting a worried glance at me, with Haru who still seemed a bit upset at my earlier objections.

"Heard Kyo was at the club? Anything juicy happen?"

I shrugged, Aki's head moving with my shoulder, "We kissed."

Aki's head shot up, "You kissed? Why wasn't I told about this when we were walking out of the club?"

"Well, Seiji's mouth kinda obstructed me from carrying out a conversation with you and how exactly were you supposed to hear me since you couldn't have possibly heard anything over all the moaning you two were doing."

Aki's face turned scarlet and he backed away from me, turning his head swiftly towards Seiji, burying his face in Seiji's chest.

A slow smirk made its way onto Seiji's face as he wound his arm around Aki's shoulders, bringing them even closer together.

We reached the cars finally, Haru leaning against Sou's car and the rest of my family already in Hatori's car.

I leaned through the window where Ayame was seated in the passenger seat, "I'm gonna head back with the others."

Ayame nodded curtly in response and I frowned at his uncharacteristic response.

I reached for his shoulder, resting my hand comfortingly on it.

"I'm okay. I know that things have been a bit rough with me at home but I can assure you that I know what I'm doing."

Ayame finally looked at me, his expression laced with pain.

"Sort of." I finished with a smile but Ayame didn't seem to find it as funny. "Oh come on, it's just a joke. I'm sure it'll all be fine. I've got to do this. Plus, you'll be supporting me, right?"

Ayame nodded instantly, "Always."

"See? How could I be sad with such a hearty response?"

Ayame frowned. "I'll see you at home later, don't stay long at Sou's, okay?"

I nodded, "I won't."

It was 2 hours before Sou dropped me at home again.

I opened the door, attempting to be as quiet as possible. Just as I was about to fetch something cold to drink from the fridge I noticed a lone figure sitting in the TV room.

Making my way over with curiosity and making out long hair draped over one shoulder I called out, "Aya-nii? Is that you?" I switched one of the side lamps on bringing a little light into the room and effectively illuminating Ayame's face slightly.

He looked exhausted, his back resting against the arm of the couch, his knees brought up to his chest and his arms wound around them.

"I couldn't sleep..." came his soft reply and I sat down at the end of his feet.

"Something on your mind?" I asked quietly as I rested one of my hands on his knee, "You can talk to me about it if you want."

I allowed the silence to take over, hoping that Ayame would confide in me if something were bothering him, "Are you happy here?"

I gave him a confused look before smiling, "Yeah, of course I am. Where else would I be?"

He snorted and shook his head, "It's just... you were only 8 when Ha'ri and I started dating. Father and I practically fought every day and then when you were 15 they... I know I haven't been the best guardian... I'm childish and impulsive, loud and obnoxious, arrogant and vain. I don't know how to cook or do any basic chores whatsoever. I take everything for granted. Have I given you and Mimi the life you would've had, had Mother and Father been here? I just feel like you guys missed out a big part of your life because I'm so inadequate."

I shook Ayame's leg, "Hey... where's this coming from?" I asked worriedly, "You haven't had a fight with Ha'ri, have you?"

Ayame shook his head sadly, "When you were cooped up in your room, I couldn't do anything. I couldn't make a lovely meal for you like Mimi could, I couldn't sing to you or just work my magic like Mom would've. I'm supposed to be looking after you and I can't even do anything to make you feel better. Maybe I was the wrong choice for a guar—"

"I don't want anyone else as my guardians besides you and Hatori. You guys are my support even if I don't come right up to you and say it. You're not all those things that you said you are. You're my big brother," I said, smiling, "I love you and everyday I look up to you for being so comfortable and at ease with yourself. That's something that I haven't been able to achieve yet. I'm shadowed and I try too hard to impress people, I'm selfish and anti-social. You're so much more amazing than I am. These past 3 years when Mom and Dad haven't been here you've helped to change me, made me who I am today. I'm me because you're here, shaping me and supporting me as I go along. This thing with Kyo, it's... hard and confusing. It's messed up but I'm gonna fight and I can do that because I know that no matter what happens I'll be okay in the end because of you, because of my family and because of my friends."

Ayame's eyes were brimmed with tears and after a few moments he started laughing. "Well there you go again, looking after me instead of the other way around."

I smiled, "Well sometimes you can lean on me too. I'm strong enough to carry the both of us when need be."

"Hey! I'm not that weak! I wasn't called 'The Deathly Rose' for nothing you know? I could pin you down anytime, anywhere."

"That's not really something you want to hear your lover say to someone else... even if that someone else is their younger brother." came Hatori's deep voice. I watched as Ayame's eyes lit up before I turned my gaze to Hatori.

He was dressed clad in dark grey pajama pants and I could instantly understand why Ayame always speaks about how hot Hatori's body is, Hatori was truly a gorgeous man.

"What are you doing up?" Ayame asked.

"It got cold... and when I woke up you weren't in bed anymore."

I smiled softly, "Sorry for hogging your boyfriend, we were having a chat."

Ayame stood up swiftly and walked up to Hatori winding his arms around Hatori's waist and kissing him chastely. "Go on upstairs, I'll be up in a moment."

I watched as Hatori's attention was captured solely by Ayame, his hands caressing the sides of Ayame's neck and his fingers playing fondly with Ayame's hair. He brought Ayame's face up gently for one lingering kiss before removing his hands and waving slightly at me before turning around and making his way towards the steps.

My heart clenched a bit at the sight. I was genuinely happy for Aya-nii and Ha'ri, I always have been but a part of me couldn't help but feel jealousy at not being able to have something similar to what was between Aya-nii and Ha'ri at the moment.

Ayame turned and smiled brightly at me before he leaned down and kissed my forehead, "I love you, Yuki."

I returned his smile, "I love you too, Aya-nii."

"Of course you do." He said simply, following after Hatori.

I snorted but a wave of comfort flowed through me at Ayame's response. Everything was going to go back to normal. I was going to try my damnedest to make sure that it did.

To be continued!

Thanks to all of my reviewers! I finally reached the 100 mark and I cannot tell you how happy I was and still am! All of you have truly made me smile and although I write this for myself I also write it for you. I'm happy with whatever I get in a review, be it praise or constructive criticism. You guys are truly amazing, much love :)
