"Hey, what were you doing?" Ranmaru asked, glaring at Camus.
"That is non of your concern." Camus replied, not looking at any of his other band mates.
"Like hell you weren't!" Ranmaru exploded, ready to punch Camus when Reiji grabbed his arm.
"Hey, Ran-Ran!" Reiji cried, trying to calm down his band mate. "We all did things to Haru-chan today, so why beat him up over it?"
"I didn't do anything." Ai said.
"You kissed her." Camus pointed out.
"It was only an experiment." Ai defended.
"An experiment that made you blush for the rest of the night." Reiji teased, making Ai blush a little. Ai looked away from them, not wanting to show his reddened cheeks. Ai wasn't the sort to go around falling for girls, but Haruka Nanami had that effect on everyone.
"Whatever." Ranmaru fumed, pulling away from Reiji.
"So, how do we solve this dilemma?" Reiji asked, thinking.
"Last one standing wins her!" Ranmaru said, punching his fist.
"I don't care what you do, I'm still winning her." Camus said, walking away from them.
"I guess we do this the old fashioned way." Ai said, walking after Camus.
"Russian rulet?" Reiji asked, causing Ranmaru to hit him in the back of the head.
"That is not an OLD FASHION way! He means winning her heart, moron!" Ranmaru yelled, walking after them.
"Hey, wait for me!"
One week later
Haru-chan!" Next thing Haruka knew, someone had wrapped her in a strong hug. "I missed you!"
"Shinomiya-san! Your back early?" Haruka asked, hugging him back.
"Last place was canceled due to a flood." Tokiya informed, walking up with the rest of the boys.
"Welcome back, guys!" Haruka greeted, rushing over to them.
"It's good to be back." Otoya smiled.
"It's been too long." Masato said.
"Never again do I wanna do that." Syo sighed, crashing on the couch.
"Good to see you, Lady." Ren created.
"Did anything happen while we were gone, My Princess?" Cecil asked, kissing her hand.
"Anything..." Pictures of the Christmas Party flashed in her mind, causing her to blush.
She remembered the kiss on the lips from Ai after the dance because he thought he was 'supposed to' do that. Last year, Tokiya had kissed her after the Christmas party and Ai must have been studying them...or was that the reason?
Then Ranmaru came to mind, spilling red wine on him and getting some on herself, causing him to 'cling' to her while cleaning it and then getting a chaste kiss on the cheek after words, his arms gently placed around her torso so lovingly.
Then Reiji came to mind. He made her call him by his first name when they were looking at the Christmas light. Then he forced her onto his lap and would only let her go if she kissed him. When she did, he told her it had to be on the lips and made her kiss him again.
Then, while she was waiting for him to get drinks, Camus offered her some cake... after she fell on him. Then he... licked the fork, right after it had been in her mouth. He then invited her to his sweats volt, letting her eat what she wanted. Then they shared a cream puff. Camus had licked the side of her mouth, eating some cream and then proceeded to kiss her, causing her to black out.
The boys stared at her, leaning in a little, now curious. "N-no, nothing really!" Haruka fake laughed, sweating a little. The boys blinked, not convinced.
"Haru-chan~" They turned their heads, watching as Reiji rushed over to Haruka, wrapping his arms around her. "Haru-chan, lets go on a date!" He announced, pulling her along. The boys watched in shock, what Reiji had said still not registering.
"Hey!" They turned their heads to Ranmaru's entrance. He stomped over to Reiji and Haruka, hitting Reiji on the head and grabbing Haruka.
"Who said YOU could take her today?!" Ranmaru yelled.
"And we said it was okay for you?" Camus grumbled.
"According to my data, Reiji had a date with Haruka two days ago and Ranmaru had one yesterday, making it my turn today." Ai said, walking over to Haruka.
"Oi, what's going on here!?" Syo yelled, jumping off the couch.
"Haru-chan," Natsuki said, walking over to Haruka. "What happened while we were gone?" Haruka turned her head to see Quartet Night looking at her.
Reiji was smiling, his head up high. He flashed her a wink and brushed his fingers through her brown, curly locks. He fluffed out his chest, making him look bigger, acting proud.
Ranmaru was frowning, his eyes narrowed at STARISH, displeased he would need to share with more now. He jammed his hands into his pockets and looked at Haruka. He gave a gentle smile towards her before turning away, blushing a little.
Camus was shining his scepter with his sleeve, caring for it. He looked at Haruka, blushed, and turned away before glaring at STARISH.
Ai was being Ai, in other words an unreadable mask. He simply stared at Haruka, a slight tint of pink on his cheeks.
Haruka turned to the boys, smiling. She leaned her head to the side, closing her eyes and giving them a wide smile. "Oh, nothing really."
