We are opposite ends of a ruler. Every time I reach and seek out for you, we are destined to never be together. The torturous part is your right in front of me, so close and so near, almost as though Cupid is laughing at our state. I beg the Gods to seal our string of fate and let us be, however, the only response we both get is Cupid's arrows will not work on us. He tells us "Balance is Key". After all, in the end, if we were to meet, how beautiful and unrealistic it would be... as I sadly would know our ending is death...

If love is all you seek,

Heed my words of warning,

Trouble will be coming...

Previously...

Haru and I are going on a date together. He won't tell me where we are going, but I'm just relieved the tension between us is gone and that my feelings for him are still true, honest and mutual...

Ren's POV
He drove in silence and I gazed mindlessly at the passing of buildings. I turned to look at him and smiled faintly. Did I mention it was 5th December? The time of festive fun and Christmas holidays.

Haru turned on the radio and a strange song I never heard before began playing..."It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas". I became startled when Haru absentmindedly starting singing in a low and quiet voice. He then began drumming on the car wheel, which took every ounce of willpower for me not to laugh.

"Toys in ev'ry store,". I'm trying to recall whether I know this song, but I don't think I ever have."But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be". Haru looked so calm and happy, singing along to the song. It's a sight I have never seen before, a side to Haru I'm glad I get to see in person. It makes my feelings of love towards him grow outwardly and create the setting just so beautiful. I always felt different, for not being able to smile and laugh as freely as Haru. But now... I can't help but feel a warm light inside of me. He truly is remarkable. "On your own front door".

I faked coughed and pulled Haru out of his trance. He looked at me and quickly tried turning off the radio, fiddling around trying to locate the off button. I sighed in exasperation and switched it off myself.

"T-Thank You," He said nervously, purposefully avoiding my gaze and focusing on the road. His tight grip on the wheel made his knuckles go white. I looked out the window and traced my fingers on the window. "You have a pretty voice," I said silently.

"You think so?" He laughed relieved at the tension broken.

"Yeah, I was struggling not to laugh" I murmured to myself

"Hmm... what was that?" Haru asked looking confused. "Huh, I didn't say anything?" I turned my gaze back to the window and wondered once again where we were going. I'm still surprised I am even going on a date with Haru. I have never been on a date before, which makes me a little bit nervous not knowing what to expect. Do couples kiss on a date? Wait, does that make us lovers on a date?

"Ren," Haru said. "Yes," I answered my eyelids slowly closing, dreaming about what my date with Haru will be like. "Are you happy living with me?"

I hesitated..."Of course, I am". He didn't look too convinced.

"Then why did you pause?" His tone of voice sounding almost hurt. I leaned my body right up close to him, my head resting on his shoulders. Haru's breathing hitched as he watched me slowly close my eyes shut curling up next to him. "I love you Haru," I whispered these words as I drifted off to a deep sleep.
