Part 3 complete. Part 4 coming soon. Keitaro had never given much thought to women beyond his promised girl, until a chance meeting on Christmas Eve changed his mind, and his life, forever. Multiple Pairings.

When Kentaro started working for Haruka, she figured he wouldn't last a week; but somehow she got used to having him around. And then it became something more...

Chapter 10 added. Before Keitaro arrives at Hinata, Kitsune starts going on pay dates to make ends meet. It was just supposed to be a job, but separating the emotional from the physical becomes harder than she thought. Meanwhile, Keitaro and Naru balance happiness and ambition, while Motoko, Su, and Shinobu learn how wonderful and terrifying it is to grow up.

Sometimes, it's easier to wish for the happiness of someone else than for ourselves, because in love triangles it is impossible for everyone to be happy. Keitaro/Naru, Keitaro/Kitsune. No character bashing.
