Haruka pushed her eggs back and forth on her plate, her mind wandering. Haruka's back hurt terribly from that night and her arms were still jelly from her little bit of exercise. She wondered how anyone could do something like that on a regular basis. It was morning now and once again Haruka and Ren were eating breakfast together. This time, however, with everything going on recently the meal was even more awkward than normal. Ren and Haruka were hunched over their plates, Haruka playing with her food while Ren ate unusually slow, each fork of eggs taking a minute to be consumed. Both were rather embarrassed by the series of events that had occurred recently.

It all began with Haruka falling onto Ren back at the Hijirikawa mansion. Haruka had gone silent for a while because of that incident but Ren didn't seem to care. Then there was the lap incident, when Ren pulled Haruka onto his lap in his half asleep state. Haruka was going to avoid Ren for the entire day, but he decided to go out for the entire night and he didn't come back until late- drunk.

Haruka blushed, memories of what happened when he came back that night flooding back to her in a heated haze.

~~ Flashback ~~

Haruka was wandering again. She had fallen asleep far to early once more and couldn't get back to sleep. It was 11 at night and Ren hadn't returned home. Haruka had a feeling that he realized what happened last night and went to do something to ignore her.

Haruka made it down to the front hallway, by thee front door. She had been walking past this door several times throughout the last hour, thinking about just leaving. Ren was obviously not coming back for some time and he was avoiding her, so no one would notice for several hours, perhaps until breakfast next day.

Haruka found herself in a heated battle with herself, trying to convince herself to leave, but she couldn't do it. She stopped moving and stared at the door, a frown on her face. She bit her lip and took a step towards the door, stepping back soon after. She was trying to get herself to leave, but the more the tried the more she thought over the consequences. Just as Haruka went to take another step to the door, the doorknob turned, causing Haruka to jump back, giving a surprised yelp. The door opened and the cold wind blew through, causing a shiver to go up her spin. She closed her eyes and shivered, rubbing along her arms with her palms to warm her skin.

Haruka looked up and froze under the icy glare she was met with. At first her eyes widened in fear as she looked up and met the gaize of Ren Jinguji. But as she looked closer at the figure who stood in front of her, she noticed something was... off. His hair was slightly messy as if he had been leaning out of a car window. His legs where oddly placed and his hand still gripped the doorknob in front of him. His eyes were half open not in a glare as she had originally thought, but rather in a sleepy haze. Haruka took a step closer and took in a powerful and pungent scent of alcohol. Ren was drunk- very drunk.

Haruka blinked in surprise as she looked up at the drunk man who stood wobbly in front of her. He looked at her as well in his drunken haze. He squinted and shook his head before standing up straighter, looking down at her. He took one step towards her and she stiffened. Haruka had heard what people will sometimes do in a drunken state, so she was rather shaken by the idea of the Casanova being drunk. He took another step towards her, closing the door behind him.

"A-ano, Jinguji-san-" Haruka yelped when Ren suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her against him. She froze against his chest, grasping his shirt to keep from falling with her free hand, the other hand still grasped by Ren. She stumbled as he moved backwards, landing against the door, still trying to get her footing as Ren swung her around. She found herself held against the door, one wrist pinned next to her while Ren placed his free arm against the wall next to her head. Haruka's head was under Ren's chin, close enough to hear his harsh breaths. Haruka struggled very lightly, unsure about her current situation.

Haruka gulped as she heard him let out a half groan, half growl, pressed his body closer to her. Haruka tried to back up but was trapped against the wall. Ren's chin began to trail down the side of her head and stopped on her shoulder, his head ducking down to her neck. Haruka clasped, blushing as she felt his hot breath running across her skin, cooling quickly and leaving her with shivers every time. She held her legs closed, fearing what would happen to her if she didn't close them. seeing Ren's leg about to move to stop between her legs. Ren growled at this, finder her resistance annoying.

She could smell the alcohol rise up into her nose, suffocating her. How much did he drink? Then, without warning, Ren released her, sliding down her figure and falling to his knees, completely still as he leaned against her stomach. Haruka froze, blinking in confusion. All of that just to have him suddenly pass out on her? Looking down she heard his gentle snore, as if he had fallen asleep against her, passed out from the alcohol. Haruka let out a sigh of relief, knowing that it could have been worse.

She slid out from behind him and began to tiptoe away from him, leaving his leaning against the wall. But, as she began to leave, she felt a guilty tinge in her heart and she turned around, staring at him. She stared at his sleeping face, not nearly as frightening as she always pictured him to be. He looked like a sleeping child with his face, causing her to feel bad about what she was doing: Leaving him there. Grunting in annoyance at her own over kindness, she walked back and leaned down to him, grabbing his arm. She pulled him up with much effort, wrapping on the his arms around her shoulders as she made an attempt to haul him up. Haruka sighed at his weight, trying to drag him to his room. She knew it would take all night, but a little exercise never hurt anyone. Unless his weight hurt her back.

~~ End Flashback ~~

Haruka blushed again just from thinking about it. It was so embarrassing what she had to go through and her back still hurt from carrying him all over the house in an attempt to find him room. Har legs hurt from both carrying her and from looking for her own room for the rest of the night. All in all, she had become tired from carrying him and never found her room in time to get a wink of sleep after it. She knew Ren remembered a bit of it, not all but just enough to keep quiet himself. Speaking of Ren...

Haruka felt a shiver go down her spine as she heard him put down his fork and felt his eyes wander over her in a cold glare. She shivered, shoving eggs into her mouth in an attempt to distract her from last night's incident and from Ren's eyes. But his stare did not let up, it simply kept going, boring into her until she couldn't take it and looked up, making eye contact. She cringed under his cold glare, feeling his heated stair. Haruka was afraid of what he would do to her, all images of his innocent, sleeping face gone from her memory.

"Haruka..." Ren suddenly said, staring straight at her.

"Y-yes?" Haruka answered in a shaky voice, a nervous air surrounding her.

"One of my advisers were complaining over how the marriage between us seems to have disappeared without any publicity to help increase the business. They advised us to do something to fix that and one of my foreign colleagues gave me a free ticket to a restaurant that he does business with and insisted that I strengthen my business by going out with you here." Ren said, holding up the tickets that were needed to get in free. Haruka looked at them and they seemed more like business cards than anything. Haruka nodded her head and Ren stood up, turning to leave. "Please be ready by 6 o'clock, the reservations are at 7 o'clock and it takes a while to get there." Ren said, leaving the room to Haruka.

Haruka froze, blinking. The news was only just starting to sink into her head and when it did, she blushed like there was no tomorrow. She and Ren were going on a date!
