Yuki followed after Haru glancing at him as they walked, he was a little nervous but Haru had promised a good time. Yuki eyes did go a little wide as he saw the movie theatre up ahead.

"A movie?" he asked.

Haru smiled and nodded, he of course paid for their tickets, their popcorn, and sodas leading them in. Yuki had no idea what sort of movie they'd be seeing, but when the ridiculous anime Tohru watched with Kisa come on. The movie was ridiculous to the point of stupidity and Yuki couldn't help but smile a little remembering the way Tohru had enjoyed watching it with Kisa. Of course the movie was so ridiculous that he actually laughed during it before they left. Haru after that took him to a run down restaurant after that, seemed the place had been around forever.

"I know it's not her cooking, but I was thinking a break away from her might help you a little with Kyo around." spoke Haru.

"I'm beginning to think the truce he and I have made for her sakes might haunt me." spoke Yuki.

"Oh? Well yeah maybe considering you like her." spoke Haru.

Yuki nodded. "It's weird that I feel guilty over this. Before I always just called him stupid because well he doesn't know what family he's trying to get into. But with her, he isn't stupid. She accepts him for everything he is, she loves him because of his flaws." spoke Yuki.

Haru nodded. "So in a way you feel stupid over it, don't you?" spoke Haru.

Yuki sighed. "Yes of course I do, it's why I tried to move on." spoke Yuki.

Haru put his palm under his chin as he looked off away into the distance for a moment before he began to speak.

"You know people called me stupid for so long. And I really am not stupid, I know this. But honestly I know my love is also pretty stupid. There's no hope for it. Yet I can't give up on it. I guess I really am a fool, but at the same time at least you told me to stand up for myself with it. Yuki all you need to do is realize your feelings don't make you stupid, they're not something you can control after all. You need to free yourself from the pain you've put on yourself." he spoke.

Yuki faltered for only a moment as he just thought about it and smiled a little. "Thanks Haru, that helps me." he said.

Haru glanced at him with a smirk and Yuki reached across for a moment and placed his hand on Haru's. Haru smiled at him and ordered their meal, Yuki wondered how amazing the food would be there, since it had been around for a very long time. Once the meal arrived and he ate the food he realized why Haru had brought him here, it was all very amazing, not as amazing as Tohru's cooking but it was nothing like the other take out he'd had before.

"Thank you Haru." spoke Yuki looking at him.

Haru smiled at him and paid before they both left the restaurant. Haru and Yuki both walked with their hands in their pockets towards Shigure's house.

"Hey you know something, I wanna show you something. Only Miss Honda and I know about it, but you might like it." spoke Yuki.

Haru looked at him curiously and Yuki lead them to his secret base, the garden growing as strong as ever.

"This is my garden." spoke Yuki.

Haru smiled and knelt down next to it looking at it while Yuki sat next to it on a rock nearby.

"Miss Honda and I once had a date here." spoke Yuki.

"Before she got with Kyo?" asked Haru.

Yuki nodded and Haru sighed. "You know I get how she could love Kyo, him being the cat and all. And how she's accepted him is great for who he is and all. But she wasn't the first, Kagura was. And Kagura's been struggling with this a lot. Kyo honestly does love Tohru, and they've been together. But I wonder, if she went out on that date has she really decided on Kyo? She seems to treat you both as equals." spoke Haru.

"Should it be that way? I'm not her love." spoke Yuki.

"Well some people don't care for monogamy." spoke Haru.

Yuki raised an eyebrow at that one and Haru raised up his hands. "Hey I mean wouldn't it be better to have her with him and you then not at all?" spoke Haru in defense.

Yuki smiled a little. "Yes for her I would put up with that stupid cat any day." he spoke.

Haru smiled. "See? You love her no matter what. No matter who she's with, no matter what she does, you love her unconditionally. I suppose jealousy can be part of some people's love, but you're only jealous because you have none of her. But even while she's with Kyo if you had her as well you wouldn't care. I guess what I'm saying is, true love doesn't care what the stipulations are, it survives anything." spoke Haru.

Yuki nodded and sighed. "What about your love Haru?" he asked.

Haru looked a little surprised, but Yuki had always cared for him, just as he had always cared for Yuki. They helped each other, it was simply understood. Haru sighed and looked away at the sky from Yuki.

"They love someone else." spoke Haru.

"And yet you still love them..." spoke Yuki.

Haru smiled. "Well yeah, they're amazing. No matter who they are with or not. I will always care for them no matter what." spoke Haru.

Yuki felt his heart clench, he wanted to sock the person who has hurt Haru this way, though of course he kept his mouth shut. How could it be that they both suffered this way? Perhaps it was unrequited love, it was painful and yet no matter how forbidden it was the both of them lived with their suffering.

"I'm sorry Haru, for how I've been acting, when you've been in just as much pain." he said.

Haru just smiled at him. "Hey Yuki, can I maybe stay with you here? At Shigure's?" he asked.

Yuki nodded to him. "I'll find a way to talk to him about it and see if he says yes. I hope he does, you've really...helped me Haru." spoke Yuki.

Haru smiled and they went home, standing outside for a moment before going in Yuki said it then.

"This was fun, thank you Haru." spoke Yuki.

Haru nodded and they went into Shigure's house. Shigure was the only one still up working in his study and Yuki walked into the study.

"Shigure?" he asked.

"Yes Yuki?" asked Shigure.

"I would like to ask if Haru can live here." spoke Yuki.

Shigure looked puzzled but he sighed and simply nodded. "Well I don't see why not." he spoke.

Yuki bowed graciously. "Thank you Shigure." he spoke.

Shigure simply chuckled and Yuki left of course, he walked over to Haru. "He said yes." he said with a small smile.

Haru smiled at Yuki and hugged him, Yuki could feel the shock of being hugged like that. He wasn't used to anything like that, and yet the warmth he couldn't turn away from as he allowed Haru to hold him.

They went back to Yuki's room and both laid down, but Yuki simply couldn't sleep, perhaps it was because he was still bothered by how insensitive he had been, it's not like he meant to be that way. Haru was always understanding though, and patient too. He was rather much like a male Tohru in those ways, and yet he did have a temper unlike her when he'd go black. There were subtle differences in their personalities, and yet they both always tried to comfort him. He wished somehow he could return those feelings, perhaps he could show them how much he cared for them? He'd gotten gifts for Tohru in the past, and always tried to help her while she lived in Shigure's. But with Haru, he looked over at him while he slept.

'A gift' he thought to himself.

He smiled and fell asleep, the next morning he was up with Haru, of course after school Haru would have to return to the main house to gather his things to move. Until then it was school. Yuki of course walked with Tohru, Kyo, and Haru. Shigure went to the main house and knelt down in front of Akito.

"Yuki has requested that Haru be allowed to stay in my house." spoke Shigure.

"He has, has he?" spoke Akito looking at the birds around the house.

Akito took a moment to think. "I suppose it's fine, I have no use of the cow." spoke Akito.

Shigure nodded and of course left soon enough to Hatori's place, he sat down next to him as the two of them began to smoke a cigarette.

"Do you think Yuki has any clue of Haru's feelings? Or Akito for that matter?" asked Shigure.

"No I don't think either know of his apparent 'love' for Yuki. If it ever came to fruition we may be in trouble, or not. Haru is a strong one." spoke Hatori.

Shigure nodded as he spent the day there before returning home, meanwhile school went by quickly and it was after that Yuki saw Haru did have to go back to the main house, then was his chance. He of course left the school and saw Tohru walking to work.

"Y-Yuki?" she asked startled.

Yuki smiled at her. "Yeah sorry, I'm looking for the shops around here." he spoke rubbing the back of his head.

Tohru nodded politely and he couldn't help but notice how cute she always looked, blushing a little they continued on before he reached his destination. He began to look around the shop, he had given her that yellow ribbon a while back. But what to get Haru? He had piercings, he even had a tattoo, but what did he really like? Yuki wasn't sure, and that was when he spotted the earrings. They were red and gleamed in the light. He picked them up and quickly bought them so he could return to Shigure's.

He got back just in time as Haru had his things to move in, he would be living in Yuki's room, which Yuki did realize. Yuki of course pocketed his gift before he helped Haru move, Kyo of course helped as well much to his chagrin. It was after dinner that Yuki finally found the time for the gift as Haru was sitting out front.

"Haru?" he asked.

"What is it Yuki?" asked Haru.

Yuki pulled out the earrings. "For you." he said.

Haru looked at them a little startled but he smiled and put them in one of his ear piercings.

"Yuki, you didn't have to." spoke Haru.

"I-I wanted to thank you somehow for helping me so much." spoke Yuki.

Haru smiled at him and Yuki felt himself blush, soon they went to bed, Haru couldn't stop smiling, Yuki had gotten him a gift.
