"Takane, you need to be more careful..." Haruka whispered as he carefully put a butterfly clip over the fresh gash on Takane's knee. "I don't like it when you get hurt..." he mumbled, lost in focus. Takane sat quietly with her leg bent, knee facing up on the lounge. "It's not like I can help it." She complained, trying to look anywhere else in the room; avoiding Haruka's cute face of concentration as he blotted the blood away once again. "But still...I don't like it Takane." "Look, its no big deal. It happens all the time actually, you just happened to be there when it happened today." At the mention of this, Haruka's eyes began to water. "Takane!..."

Today, Takane had fallen asleep again. But this time, it happened when she was at Haruka's. She was teasing him with his sketchbook, she kept holding it away from him. He followed her down the stairs begging her not to look through the pages, when suddenly, she fell. She fell. Down the stairs her body tumbled, ending up in a sleeping heap at the bottom. "Takane!"

"Wha-? Haruka it's okay! Don't cry!" She gripped one of his wrists trying to calm him. "It happens all the time?..." "Yeah, well you know, you've seen me fall asleep in class all the time too. So you kinda already knew... you know?..." He just looked away. "Okay Haruka, I'll be more careful..." Takane grumbled hesitantly. He pulled her back on the lounge into a hug. "I'm glad..." he whispered into her ear. She was lying on top of him, stuck in his embrace wether she wanted it or not. She hid her blush and smile into his neck.

Later that evening, the two of them sat upstairs, Takane sprawled out on the floor while messing around with Haruka's laptop, while he sat up at his desk next to his bed doing what he does best: drawing.

"Is chess and solitaire the only games you have on here?" Takane complained as she kicked her legs behind her. "No, I've got other stuff in there too..." "Where??? Argh whatever, I'll just play stupid mahjong then."

"What are you drawing this time?" Asked Takane curiously as she stared up at the ceiling. "Just my favourite thing in the world you know..." he laughed nervously. "What? Triceratops?" Takane laughed. "Haha... yeah..." Haruka drew the finishing touches onto the beautiful drawing he had done of Takane, once again. It was a drawing of her messing around with his laptop, like she was earlier.

"Huh?" Haruka was startled by Takane's sudden appearance behind him seated at his desk. Haruka had no words to explain it to Takane, he just looked away embarrassed. Takane stared down at the drawing, lost in thought. "You're a really good artist, I've told you that, haven't I? But wouldn't it be better if you practised drawing something else for once? You know, test your skills." Haruka turned around to face her, "why would I want to draw something else? I'm only interested in drawing beautiful things." Takane blushed and looked away upon hearing this. "I'm not beautiful..." she said as she looked at the floor, avoiding his gaze once again. "Of course you are Takane!" "Only because you make me... only in your drawings am I beautiful." Haruka got up out of his seat and gripped onto Takane's hands, facing her. She looked up into his dark eyes.

"Takane, you are the most beautiful thing in the whole world to me. To me. If no one else can see that you're beautiful, then they're blind." "Or they just have good taste, Haruka." She teased, trying to get out of his grip, but it only tightened. "Takane, I mean it!" He leant down to give her a kiss on the forehead. He wrapped his arms around her lower back, while she fit snugly against his chest.

"Takane..."

"Haruka... I'm only beautiful when I'm with you..."

Authors Note

Yes I know it was a short chapter, I was just trying to get something up quickly as I intend to update every few days. No one is yet to have read this, but that's only because our fandom is so small. ;_;
please comment! Constructive criticism and suggestions would be highly appreciated!
