Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kozue considered holding onto Kaoru's hands even after he helped her up, but decided against it. "Well, maybe I'm reading too much into things a little bit..." she grudgingly admitted. "I always do. And either way, this is between you and your brother and Watanuki-san, yes?"

Kozue, sensing she might be ignored soon, turned to Watanuki. "Watanuki-saaaaaaan~ heart " she said sweetly, "Could you make sure that you have the time to make some more cupcakes even with going to the Hitachiins? They're so good!"

Yukima was finally able to notice a small group of four up ahead, three males and a female who happened to be on the ground. Of course she didn't know what was going on to begin with, but she didn't plan on finding out or walking over toward them, let alone anywhere near them. Already getting nervous over too much of nothing, she found an empty table and took a sit, her back now facing the other group within the room. Normally, she would have left out of a room as large as this whether it was crowded or held just a handful of people, but she decided against it so she could finish what she was doing in her small book.

Kaoru laughed. "You seem a lot more comfortable with the school now that you have made some friends," he murmured, looking over at his brother. He wasn't about to buy that his brother was fine. He was giving him some strange looks. Why was Hikaru lying to him? "We can either spend time in the entertainment room or my room. I believe you said mine wasn't a mess."

So... Watanuki was a year older than them. It had been fine when Kaoru used the -kun suffix with the other boy; Hikaru had thought his brother had used it because Watanuki was younger than them... but he wasn't, he was older. This meant Kaoru was using it in a different way - a way he'd never used before. With anyone. Not even Kyouya. Not even Tamaki.

A close friend. In three days... Hikaru was still smiling, though it faded slightly with each pointed look his brother gave him. Out of sight of anyone, Hikaru took his brother's hand and squeezed it gently, as if to say it really was ok, before he answered. "Yeah... your room is fine."

Yukima was busy drawing on a blank page of her sketch book until she noticed someone sit at the table with her. With a quick glance, she looked up and confirmed that it was the girl from before, the one who had been with other boys she saw when she entered the room. She didn't say anything, however, she was hesitant to greet her and even ask where she was. In the end, decided against it as she went back to her drawing. Yukima had never been good with starting conversations, so she still had some preblems when it came to talking to others.

Watanuki was glad it was going to work out. Well, visiting the Hitachiin home anyways. He was still nervous about getting along with his new friend(s?). He'd have to continue to do his best to socialize.

Despite his own worries he was a little excited too. Kaoru was right, if he could just keep sight of his friends, things would keep getting better in this place. Even if most everyone was insane. Not that he was really one to talk.

He watched the brothers, and wondered why they seemed... bothered? It made him flustered. "Ah, so then... um... are we going to leave together right after club?" Silly Watanuki, didn't Kaoru already say something to that effect?

"It must be nice, having something so fun to be tallented at. You're really good, too." And with that, Kozue turned away again, so if the shy girl didn't want to talk, she wouldn't have to.
