"I love you too... and I will never leave you" I said. He tighten his arms around me. I place my hand on his head, gently caressing his dual haired color. I smile to myself. I'm so glad that I can provide the comfort and reassurance that Haruka needs. I'll be here with him, for as long as he needs me.

Sakura P.O.V

I woke up in the middle of the night. Next to me is Y/N who sleeps soundly. I turn to lay on my side as I stare at her sleeping face. A soft smile starts to form on my face at the sight of her peaceful face.

My mind eventually drifted off to what occurred today. "I'm the class rep..." I mumbled softly to myself. I let out a sigh as I close my eyes momentarily. I blink a few times as I turn to look at Y/N again. I don't even know what I'm supposed to do as a class rep.

I lift my hand, gently placing it on her cheek. I gently run my thumb across her cheek. She moves in her sleep which makes me froze. But she just moves closer to me, placing her head on my chest and her arm went around my torso, still sound asleep. I smile softly as I hug her close. I place a soft kiss on her forehead, as she snuggles closer to me. This girl is truly the most precious thing in my life.

The Next Morning

Y/N P.O.V

I open the door, allowing Haruka to enter first since he's carrying an old lady. Just as he was about to enter, his feet get caught on the door. He ended up sprawling on the floor. I wince at the sight.

"A-Are you okay, Haru-Chan?" I asked, helping him get up after the old lady gets off his back. I gently guide him to the chair. Apparently, he woke up in the middle of the night. But he didn't wake me saying he didn't want to bother me. So, he's the only one who didn't get enough sleep.

"What's with him? He has prominent eye-bags under his eyes" Kotoha asked. I turn my head to look at her. She's staring at Haruka with a raised eyebrow.

"He didn't get enough sleep last night... that's why..." I said. I turn my head to look at Haruka with a scolding look. "Why didn't you wake me up? It would have put you to ease if you talked about it" I said.

"Sorry... I didn't want to bother you" he said. I let out a sigh of relief and gently pinch his cheek. He still wince at my action, even though I didn't pinched him that hard. I let out a soft giggle.

"Wait..." Kotoha said. We turn our heads to look at her. She points at the two of us. "Did he stay at your place, Y/N-Chan?" She asked. I blush profusely at her words. A sly grin starts to form on his face.

"Oh my God! He DID!! Oh, how cute~. So you both cuddle each other to sleep! I wish I can see that!!" She said, almost squealing. I let out a sigh as I cover my face from embarrassment. From the corner of my eyes, I can see Haruka's face also turns red. "Ah... you both make me feel so single!" She said.

"Okay!!" I exclaimed, startling her. I smile apologetically at her and turn my head to look at Haruka. "So, are you going to tell me what makes you unable to sleep?" I said. He turned his head to look at me, after calming down a little from Kotoha's teasing.

"I'm just thinking of ways to be the class rep I need to be" he said. I hum softly at what he said. I scoot my chair closer to his. I place my hand on his shoulder, making him turn his head to look at me.

"You don't have to worry about that too much, Haru-Chan..." I said. I smile softly as I gently cup his cheek. I caress his skin with my thumb. "Just do what you do best and the rest of us will follow your footsteps" I said. He smiles at what I said, and leans his cheek into my touch.

"You can start by learning their names" Kotoha said. I turn my head to look at her. I blink my eyes and grins. I turn to look at Haruka, nodding my head in agreement. "Now that I think about it. I've never heard you call me by my name. The only one you'd ever call by name is Y/N-Chan. But that's to be expected, since she's your girl" she said. Haruka turn his head to look at me, as if asking for help.

"She's right, you know. By calling people by their names. It would mean you actually know them and understand what they need" I said. He let out a sigh and turn to look at Kotoha who had leaned closer. He flinch in surprise at the sudden closeness.

"Now... how about you practice with me? Say my name. Ko~ to~ ha~" she said. The lady that Haruka carried on his back also joins in. I place my cheek on my knuckle as I let my elbow support it. I watch in amusement as his cheeks turns red. He quickly finished his food. He grabs my hand, pulling me along with him. I let out a laugh as I run along with him.

***

I'm just sitting on one of the chair. Haruka, Suo and Nirei are all on the rooftop. They'd be gathering with the rest of the class rep. At first, Haruka wanted me to come with him to this meeting. But of course, I declined. Since I'm not a class rep nor the vice.

"So, L/N-Chan?" I hear Kiryu asked. I turn my head to look at him. He smiles at me. "How's your relationship with Sakura-Chan so far?" He asked. His question make the others turn their heads towards us. I feel my cheeks growing warm. I didn't expect him to be so blunt about asking about my relationship with Haruka.

"It's been going great" I said, smiling softly at him. The others just keeps staring. I turn to look at them with a raised eyebrow. "Something the matter?" I asked, tilting my head in confusion as I wonder why they're looking at me like that.

"Sakura-San sure is lucky. He managed to get such a beautiful girl like you" one of them said. I turn my head to look at him. The other nods their heads in agreement. "If Sakura-San ever hurts you. You can come to me... I'll be more than ready to be his replacement" he said. My eyes widen at what he said.

"What. Did. You. Say??" Someone said. I turn my head to see Haruka standing by the door. He looks angry by what the guy just said it. The guy flinched at his sudden appearance.

"Sakura-San!" He said. Haruka stomps his way towards him as he starts to shake. "I was just joking! Please... d-don't take it seriously!" He said.

"You better be joking! If you dare to even think of taking her away from me... I'll make you sorry" he growled. I let out a nervous laugh at how annoyed he seems. He places an arm around my waist, pulling me closer to his side. "This is to all of you. L/N Y/N is mine... got it??" He said.

"Yes, sir!!" They said, simultaneously. I lift my hand and place it on his back. I gently rub it softly, trying to calm him down. He eventually relaxes, making me smile. I'd never expect Haruka to act so possessive about me. But it kind of makes me happy, because that way... I know I mean something for him, just like how he means a lot to me.
