So... Thank you so much to everyone who read, reviewed, favourited and followed my story! :) This chapter is dedicated to doctorwhogirl666 for being such a sweetheart :). I kinda forgot to put the disclaimer and everything for the second chapter but i'm not sure it's neccesary... i'll put it now anyways but... oh well.

Disclaimer: I don't own Uta no prince-sama or any of its characters, i just wrote this story.

Oh oh, and before i forget: In this one i mention twerking... so if you don't know what it is you can look it up... btw you will regret that XD.

After Reiji left, both redheads took their dirty teacups and walked together towards the kitchen. The moment they reached the sink, they both said: "I…" at the same time. After a second of silence, he gestured for her to talk first. "I… just… Before Reiji-san interrupted us we were…" She stopped herself mid-sentence blushing as she did so, and grabbed a sponge to clean. Waiting a couple of minutes, he realized she wasn't going to continue so he said: "We were… about to kiss…" She looked up at him, and seeing her expression, he continued: "We don't have to talk about it if you don't want to… I mean, it was nothing".

As she heard him, Haruka felt a pang of pain in her chest. 'It was nothing? I thought it was something…' she thought. So she did her best attempt to finish the conversation without making him uncomfortable. "You're right… Otoya-kun… It was nothing". She was pretty confident that she hadn't shown her true feelings with that, so she tried to calm herself down. Though, when she turned off the sink she realized that it still seemed to be leaking onto the dishes somehow. She was crying, and she thought it was weird Otoya didn't notice since he was drying the teacups right next to her.

Meanwhile, he was trying to hold down his emotions as best as he could, so he tried not to look at her. That was pretty hard given that she was handing him the dishes he needed to dry. At that moment she gave him the last teacup, but because he wasn't looking, it fell from her hand and crashed on the floor. Fortunately, the cup didn't break, it was just chipped, but as they both bent down to grab it, Haruka broke down.

"It's my entire fault!" she said between sobs. "I thought…" She got to the point where her cries wouldn't allow her to make an understandable sentence then, making him worry in return.

"Haruka, it's okay. It's just chipped, and it's just a teacup" he tried to comfort her after putting the cup in the sink again. Seeing as she wouldn't stop crying, he decided it was best if he just hugged her. In doing so, he whispered in her ear: "everything's okay". She hugged him back, and when her crying subsided a little, she whispered back "No… it's not… I'm in love with you". Hearing that, he pulled away looking at her now puffy eyes. He dryed her face with his hands and asked: "What did you just say?" She couldn't possibly have said what he thought he heard.

She took a deep breath and repeated: "I'm in love with you"

He took a moment to process the information, but after the shock passed, he asked: "Is that why you're crying? You think I don't love you?"

"No… I know you love me, but I also know that you are not in love with me…" she answered.

"Well… you are wrong then, because from the moment I met you I have only been falling deeper and deeper in love with you. Let me say this without any space for misunderstanding: I'm in love with you Nanami Haruka" he told her. When he finished, they both finally close the space between each other. Their lips met, and they clinged to one another still at awe of it all.

They kissed until they had to break apart to breathe and even then, they didn't let go. Their faces were close, and he was still relishing the sweet taste of her lips in his, but he already wanted more, so he leaned in again. This time, Haruka pulled away at the last second and said : "Reiji-san…". The random name that slipped out of her mouth confused him, but in a split second, he remembered the position they were in. He snapped back into reality and checked his watch, noticing that they had been there for almost an hour. He was about to say that he didn't want to leave her, moan about how unfair it was that Shining didn't let them date, but then... "Isn't the principal watching us? He should've stopped us like he always does… why didn't he?"

Haruka bit her lower lip and looked away at that.

"What? Is there something I don't know?" he asked.

"I… you said you didn't want to know." She replied.

"What?" she remained silent at his question so he decided to ask again but then, he realized: "Oh… So, the principal knows my father?"

"Yes" she said as she thought 'Sure, let's go with that'.

"I… We should go talk to him. I don't want to just hide, to kiss you under the sink… I want to be with you, always."

"Are you sure?" He looked sadly at her at that. "I mean: it's not that I don't want to be with you, it's just that it's a bit too risky… And anyways, we need to leave now before Reiji comes back"

"Yes, I'm quite sure, besides: we may never find a better moment than now… so, why don't we?"

She checked her watch and said "Maybe he's sleeping? It's almost 4 a.m. now."

"Well, I'm pretty sure he's not a normal human, and he usually exercises around this time… Don't ask me how I know... I don't want to think about that" he said shivering. "He must be at his office".

"Okay… let's go"

And with that they walked hand in hand towards Shining's office in silence. When they were in front of the door Otoya looked at Haruka expecting her approval. When she looked back and nodded he knocked on the door. Not too long after that, an over the top voice answered from inside: "It's open, come in!" This time: she opened the door. The sight that welcomed them was unpleasant. Inside the office was Shining in some sort of exercise attire twerking all over the room. It was pretty disturbing.

After they got in, Otoya closed the door behind them and Shining finally stopped his horrendous exercise. "Miss Nanami, Mister Ittoki: what brings you two here?"

The readhaired boy answered: "I think you know why we came"

"Why so bitter, Mister Ittoki? I've been exercising for a while now. So, if you're implying that I should know because I've been watching you: you're wrong" he replied.

"Oh… then… We need to ask you something Saotome-sama" said Haruka.

"Go ahead, shoot" Haruka squeezed Otoya's hand pushing him to ask the question.

"We… we wanted to know if we could date" he asked.

"Oh. Kids, I'm afraid that's against the rules."

"Yes, we know. But we… we are in love… I'll do anything, just let me be with her… please" begged Otoya.

"Please, Saotome-san!" she said as she bowed.

Shining thought about it for a moment. 'If I say no they'll date anyways… teenagers… But if I say yes I can give them certain conditions… yes! Good idea Mitsuo'. "Okay kids, you can date" They hugged each other then. "BUT…" he said.

'Oh no… "Buts" are never good' thought Haruka.

"But… you will have to keep it a secret from the fans and you –he pointed at Haruka- will have to come up with another hit by the end of the month. If you can't do either of these you'll have to pretend that nothing happened and break up" he said. They nodded in understanding. "Good, now go. It's four a.m. and you should get some rest"

They walked out of the office holding hands as Otoya walked Haruka to her room. When they got to the door she decided it was as good as any other time to ask: "Why don't you sleep with me?" At this, he blushed so much steam came out of his ears.

"Ha-Ha-Haruka I-I…" he wasn't understandable much with his stuttering. So Haruka tried to help him.

"I'll take that as a yes. Come on, Ichinose-san wakes up pretty early, and I don't want him snatching you away from me". With that, she grabbed his arm and led him inside her room closing the door behind them.

"Ha-Haruka do-don't you think this is a bit to-too fast? I me-mean, we just started da-dating".

"Why are you blushing so much, Otoya-kun? The bed is big enough to fit the both of us." She said.

"Haruka! Since when are you so forward?!" he exclaimed blushing.

She went up to her bed and grabbed some clothes. "What do you mean?" she said. And with that, she walked to her bathroom to change, leaving Otoya confused to say the least.

After a couple of minutes, she came out wearing her winter pajamas: long sleeved, and with comfy pants. That was the moment when realization hit Otoya: 'I'm a pervert! She meant sleeping as in just that: literally sleeping and I took it the wrong way!'

"So, will you join me now? I know you don't have your pajamas, but it's not as if we'll sleep that long… I changed 'cuz those where Tomo-chan's clothes, she lent me those since I liked the outfit so much." she said as she sat on the bed and patted the spot next to her.

"Oh, yes" He sat next to her. Haruka gestured for him to get on one side of the bed so they could cuddle and he obliged. He put the covers over them and just like that, they spaced out.

A/N: I just wanted to let everyone know that i'm not only using the canon from the anime but also from the games (that's where the Otoya's father drama comes from... as well as some more drama that is yet to come XD). Have a great day and i'll upload the next chapter tomorrow! :)
