"I can't..." She says.

She turns around and faces me.

"Why?" My arms around her loosen.

"I have to look after my family... I just don't have the time for school..."

I keep my head down.

"You don't want to see me ever again?" I say and see her hands twitch.

"I..." Her words trail off.

Does she really not want to see me ever again...?

"I need this, Kaoru..." She places a hand on my shoulder.

"I can help you!" I look up and she gives me a small smile.

"Thank you but-"

"No! Let me help you! I'll pay for Ota's hospital fee! You don't need to work two jobs."

"Kaoru..."

"Why do you have to make things so complicated?!" I yell and she looks down. "Just let me take care of it..." I cup her face in my hands. "Just let me do this and..." She looks up and I take a deep breath. "...and be with me."
Her eyes widen and she blinks several times.

"I know it's hard... But I want to be the one you depend on... No one else." I hug her and hear her gasp. "I love you..."

I hear her sniffle and she wraps her arms around.

"Why did you take so long?!" She punches my chest lightly and I pull away to look at her.

"Then why didn't you say it?!" I pout.

"Because I didn't know how to! So I just waited for you!" She says in between sobs.

"Ahahaha!" I laugh and she cries even more.

"Why are you laughing?!" She says, half laughing and half crying.

"Hmm..." I stop and stare at her.

"Huk..." She hiccups.

I hug her and stroke her hair.

"I'm sorry I took so long..." I rest my head on hers. "...I wish you'd tell me you love me too..." I say and she freezes.

"Wha-I-I... I love you." She pulls away and looks up at me. "You-!"

I cut her off with a kiss.

When I pull away, she's panting. "Um..."

"How was I?" I ask.

"D-Don't ask me that!" She looks away, cheeks flushed red.

I smile. "Should we go?" I take her hand.

"Okay..." She nods, looking down.

I enter the building and walk toward music room three.

Click.

I open the door and... "Welcome~"
Rose petals flew onto my face. I close my eyes and when I open them..
"LUNAAAAAA!" Tamaki comes running toward me with his arms wide open.

Fwoosh!

"Luna!" Miya kicks Tamaki aside and stands in front of me. "Where have you been?!" Miya shakes my shoulders.

"Uh..." Concerned for Tamaki, I look behind her to see Ana helping Tamaki up.

"Uh what?!" Miya grabs my attention by turning my head.

"Working." I say and they all tilt their head.

"Working?"

Riiiiing!

The bell rings signalling the beginning of the day. "I'll tell you..." I link my arm with hers and walk out.

After explaining every thing to Miya... Well... Every thing except for me and Kaoru's... Relationship? We finally reach our room and she gasps.

"So, Ota's okay, right?"

"Mhm." I nod and she pats her chest.

"Good... So..." She smirks and I follow her into the room. "Is that it?" She sits on her desk and folds her arms.

"Yeah." I nod.

Gulp.

She arches a brow and her smirk grows. "Okay..."

Hikaru and Kaoru then enter the room and Miya runs toward Hikaru.

"Hikaru!" She whispers to him.

My eyes then meet Kaoru's and we both look away.

Kaoru... Is... My boyfriend... No way!
I slap my cheek and sit.

I'm... In a relationship... Taken... No, single... Taken... TAKEN!

My cheeks heat up and I rest my head on the table.

"Ahem!" A familiar voice clears their throat and I slowly look up.

"Ka-Kaoru..." I sit up.

"Um... So... Um..." He rubs the back of his neck. "I... Was just thinking that... Maybe we could go out... This weekend...?" He says in a hushed tone since well... I am suppose to be a boy.

I stare at him.

Go out? Like... On a date? Was the Lady Gaga concert a date?

"If you can't this weekend t-then maybe next weekend or... The next next weekend... Or... Uh..." Flustered, he looks away.

"I-I'd love to!" I jump up excitedly.
Be cool Luna.

"Oh uh... Psh... Psh... Yeah yeah. Okay." I sit back down and purse my lips.

"Great." He grins and starts to walk back to his seat but then turns back around and walks back to me. He holds his hand up to my ear, as if he was whispering. "Can't wait." He whispers and...

Chu!

Oh!

He pecks my ear and walks back to his seat with a smirk..

The ear he kissed, burns up and I cover them. I look to my left and see Miya and Hikaru smirking.

Riiiing

As I start packing up, in the corner of my eyes, I see Miya and Hikaru dash out.

What are those two up to?

Kaoru sits on the desk in front of me as he waits for me to pack up. I look up to find him staring at me. He gives me a cute smile and I look away.

Relax... Chill... He's just your... Boyfriend... The cutest guy in the world... Is your boyfriend... It's cool.

"Let's go." I squeak out and briskly exit the class. I hear Kaoru following closely behind.

"Where should we go this weekend?" He asks.

"Oh uh..." I purse my lips. "Anywhere's fine."

"Carnival? No... Too cheesy." He mumbles. "Shopping? No. The movies?"

I halt.

The movies?! Isn't that where couples go to make out?!

"Nah..." Kaoru says as he keeps walking.

"Phew."

We open the doors to music room three.

"Oh? That's weird..." Kaoru says as he looks around the dark room.

"Hikaru and Miya should've arrived before us..." I say and at that moment.
Fwoosh!

"Ack!"

"Kako!"

I'm thrown onto a chair and a light blinds me.

"Hey!" Kaoru falls onto the chair next to me and from behind the light, eight figures appear.

"What are you guys d-" Miya's voice cuts me off.

"The two of you have been acting suspicious all day today..."

I sigh as Tamaki starts to speak.

"Are the two of you dat-ACK!" I see Miya's shadow slap Tamaki.

"Don't ask them that! We want them to admit it!" She whisper yells.

I look at Kaoru and he gives me a wry smile.

"...Kaoru." Hikaru says and Kaoru sighs as he answers him.

"Yes, Hikaru?"

"You were awfully close to Luna this morning... What were you doing?"

"Talking."

"Why do you have to talk so close to each other?!" Tamaki says and I could hear nother thwacking sound.

"Control your boyfriend!" Miya says to Ana and I see Ana's arm wrap around Tamaki.

"...Just get to the point." Kyoya's uninterested voice says.

"Are the two of you dating?" I hear Haruhi say.

"Kao-chan and Luna-chan?!" Honey's baby voice yelps.

"Haruhi!" Miya whines.

"Um..." I look at Kaoru.

"We are!" Kaoru says proudly and I look down with a smile.

"Woah?! Seriously?!" Miya appears from behind the light and grabs his collar.

"Y-Yeah."

"No way!" The lights turn off and the whole room lights up.

I see everyone's eyes on me as if they were asking for approval.

"I-It's true."

"WOAH!" They gasp.

"I KNEW IT!" Miya and Hikaru high five.

"No..." Tamaki sits on the ground.

"Congrats." Ana gives me a smile.

"T-Thanks..."

We're just dating... They act as if we're getting married.

"NOOOOOO!" Tamaki cries. "I HAVE FAILED ONCE AGAIN! I'M SORRY!" Ana giggles as she watches Tamaki.

"So you do like Luna-chan!" Honey skips over to us and holds something up. "Good job, Kao-chan!" Kaoru takes the cake and smiles.

I see Kyoya take his glasses off and rub his eyes.

"Another couple..."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WAH! I'm a bad person! I'm sorry! I've just been trying to think of ideas!
I have writer's block but I managed to come up with this. I think i'm going to end this story soon and start writing the Tamaki sequel.
Anyway, thanks for all of you who have supported me all the way.
I love you.
