Nobu smiled towards the two girls, "Will you two just get together already?" He asked as he rolled his eyes and walked to the room he was claiming as his own. He shook his head, "Nana just needs to tell...Nana how she feels." He thought, "I mean look at me and Yasu...We told each other that we like each other, bam. We are together." Nobu smiled to his thoughts, "Just ask Hachi out, already Nana..." Nobu thought the shut the door behind him. He only smiled, "Nana usually gets whatever she wants. But...She doesn't want Hachi...She needs her." Nobu whispered,

OoOoOoOo

Nana and Hachi were standing there, Nana smiled towards Hachi, "So..." Nana was cut off as Hachi's phone began to ring, but Hachi let the call go to voicemail, "Why didn't you answer?" Nana asked,

"Because there is something more important than answering a call." Hachi replied,

"What is that?" Nana asked,

"You." Hachi replied, as she let her hands rest on Nana's hips then pulled her close. And immediately Hachi gasped as the cold steel of Nana's armor ring press against her cheek, their lips met another time. But soon this kiss wouldn't like any of the rest. Hachi felt Nana's tongue enter her mouth, she immediately wrapped her tongue around Nana's and began to suck ever so softly. Hachi wanted to tell Nana she is in love with her, but the reason the kiss was different, was because there wasn't lust or desire, but a sweet passion of love. Hachi knew then that Nana is in love with her as well, but how would Hachi get Nana to admit her love for Hachi? Hachi slowly released Nana's hips, and let her arms slink around Nana's neck, as they only let their kiss of love deepen, soon Nana pulled away, "Why do you always do that?" Hachi whined,

"Because its like two in the morning, and you have to work in six hours. You need rest." Nana smiled, as she grabbed a blanket and put the fabric against the bench, and as she went to lay down, she heard,

"Sleep with me." Hachi murmured, "Please...I only feel warm when you have your arms wrapped around me. I only feel happy when you are around. Nana..Please. I rather have you in my bed, feeling safe in your arms. Then have you sleep out here in the cold, and alone." Hachi lowered her head, slowly tears ran down her face, "Please...Nana." She pleaded, she felt herself be lifted upward. Hachi immediately wrapped her arms around Nana's neck, and leaned into her, she then felt the cushion of the mattress form to her body, she watched Nana go to the door, then shut the door behind her. Hachi squinted to see a dark figure get into bed with her. She immediately felt Nana pull her into her arms, "I am warm now..." Hachi whispered as she blushed,

"So am I, Hachi." Nana whispered as she lifted Hachi face to her own, she pressed her lips against Hachi's, just in rather soft peck. Nana held Hachi ever so closely, and didn't let her go. They slept in a peaceful manner, during the time they slept, they both had been smiling, knowing that their bodies were showing the affection and the love, that Nana and Hachi were hesitating to tell each other.

OoOoOoOo

Nana yawned as she slowly awoke, Hachi wasn't there. Nana slowly slid out of the bed, she then heard the water going as she left the bedroom, "Where is Hachi, Nobu?" Nana asked,

"Oh, she went to take a shower. She is getting ready for work. She made this for you." Nobu handed her a plate of food, "She said, she is sorry if it doesn't taste well. And that she tried." Nobu smiled, as he watched Nana take a bite, her face lit up, "Is it good?" Nobu asked, as he watched Nana nod, "Look, Nana." Nobu now sat down across from Nana, "You have this great girl. So, my question is...Why haven't you asked her out? Why are you waiting? What keeps you from saying the three words; 'I love you'? Nana, I know that you had a rough time with Ren. But shit...Its over now. There is a girl in the shower, hoping that you feel the same as her. So, get the stick out of your ass, and tell Hachi." Nobu grinned, as he watched Nana keep eating, "Ugh, your hopeless." Nobu mustered,

"I am not. I want to wait for that perfect moment." Nana replied,

"Nana, if you keep waiting that perfect moment will blow up in your face." Nobu mustered, as he stood, "Do it, or I will tell her myself." Nobu smiled then walked away and left the apartment,

Nana ran her hand through her short black tresses, "I am falling so hard, and so fast...I can't lose Hachi. I can't. I will be damned if someone fucking takes her away from me! I will literally stab anyone that looks at my Hachi in a way that is not a friendly way!" Nana thought, "Dear god...I am truly in love with her. And I am getting jealous of someone that doesn't even exist." Nana sighed within her thoughts,

"Did you like it?" Hachi asked,

"Did I like what?" Nana asked in a sly tone,

Hachi giggled, "The breakfast I made for you." Hachi mustered,

Nana now walked to Hachi, "No." Nana stated,

Hachi lowered her head, "I..I..." Hachi was cut off with a soft kiss to her lips,

"I loved it, Hachi." Nana whispered against Hachi's lips, she felt Hachi kiss her. And soon their kiss deepened, "Hachi...You have work." Nana chuckled, as she smiled, and gave a soft peck, "Have a good day at work, Hachi." Nana stated, she now watched Hachi leave, "I need to tell her..." Nana whispered, Nana sat there on the bench, "How do you tell someone that you love them? Do you just go; 'Hey baby! I love you!'..No that seems...Like a really dumb idea." Nana thought, she laid down on the bench then looked up to ceiling, and sighed, "Why is this so hard?" Nana asked out loud.

OoOoOo

Hachi stood there and sighed. People came in and out, some bought furniture and some didn't. Hachi wanted to get home, she then heard her phone going off, "Uhm, Mizukoshi-san...Its my mom, can I answer this?" Hachi asked,

"Sure. Take it in the back." He replied, he watched Hachi run to the back,

"Moshi moshi!" Hachi stated in the phone,

"Moshi moshi, Nana" Natsuko stated, "Are you coming home for Christmas?" Nastuko asked,

"OH! Yeah, its almost Christmas." Hachi whispered, "Mom...I am not sure." Hachi replied,

"Why? Is everything okay?" Natsuko asked,

"Everything is fine. Its just I have a friend...That doesn't have any family...At least I think she doesn't. I don't want to leave her behind..." Hachi whispered,

"Then ask her to come with." Natsuko stated in a soft, yet cheerful tone,

"Are you sure?" Hachi asked, behind the phone she was gleaming,

"Yes, I am sure." Natsuko replied, "Call me when she gives you an answer. I love you, Nana." Natsuko stated,

"I love you too mom, and I will." Hachi replied, then they both hung up. Hachi then giggled at the thought of Nana joining them for Christmas, she could only hope that she would say yes...

OoOoOoO

"No, Hachi." Nana stated,

"Why!? You can be around me." Hachi pleaded,

"I will be around your family. I don't want to impose or be a burden, Hachi." Nana replied,

"Nana...Please, I want you to be there. Please." Hachi was now almost begging, "PLEASE NAN!" Hachi pleaded,

"The answer is no." Nana stated,

"Fine!" Hachi ran to the room that they were sharing, she then slammed the door,

"Hachi..." Nana whispered, she knocked the door, "If it means that much to her...Then I will go." Nana sighed, "I just hope her family is normal." Nana chuckled to her thoughts, she knocked on the door again,

"Go away, Nana." Hachi whispered, "Just go away..." Hachi whispered, as she cried into her hands, soon she rolled over when the door was opened then shut, "Wh..Don't touch me!" Hachi stated, as she felt Nana's hands rest on her shoulders,

"I will go. If it means that much to you...I will go, Hachi." Nana stated with a warm smile, she felt Hachi hug her close, "Please...Forgive me, I never want to make you cry again..." Nana whispered,

"I forgive you, Nana. I forgive you." Hachi whispered, "It means the world that you are going, Nana. I want you to meet my family so bad!" Hachi giggled, as she kissed Nana softly, then rested her forehead against Nana's,

"How long are we going to be there?" Nana asked,

"Three weeks." Hachi replied,

"That is a pretty long time." Nana chuckled, "But I can handle it, because you will be there." Nana whispered then kissed Hachi softly, then deepened the kiss for a moment, then pulled away when she heard Hachi's phone going off,

"Hey mom!" Hachi stated with excitement,

"Well...You didn't call me back. What did she say?" Natsuko asked,

"She said yes!" Hachi squealed,

"Alright good. You are leaving tomorrow, right?" Natsuko asked,

"Yes, mom. See you tomorrow." Hachi giggled, as she hung up the phone, she immediately leaped into Nana's hand. And literally began to make out with Nana. Hachi was feeling hot now, as she felt Nana's hand resting on her lower back. She slowly pulled away, "We should pack." Hachi leaned in against and kissed Nana softly before getting up. She ran to her room, "Dear god...Nobu hasn't even kept this clean." Hachi thought, she immediately grabbed her suitcase, and began to pack.

Nana was in her room, packing. "I hope I don't say anything wrong." Nana sighed, "Maybe...I will tell her then." Nana smiled, "Wait...I need to get her something for Christmas!" Nana thought, "Ugh...What can I get her?!" Nana thought then sighed, "I will figure it out." She thought, then put the luggage out of the room, and saw Hachi do the same, "What time are we leaving?" Nana asked,

"Early in the morning. Are you sure...You want to go?" Hachi asked, as she was pulled into Nana's arms,

"Yes, I do." Nana whispered, as she felt Hachi lean into her. Hachi's head was against Nana's chest, Nana just wanted to give off a good vibe to Hachi's family. And she wanted...Well, she was hoping when she told Hachi the truth of how she felt for her, Hachi would fell the same. But for this moment, Nana would just hold Hachi in her arms, and keep her close and safe.
