Chapter 3 : The final countdown

I don't want to go another day
So I'm telling you exactly what is on my mind
Seems like everybody is breaking up
Throwing their love away
I know I got a good thing right here
That's why I say

Haruka sat on the couch . Her eyes were closed , and even though she was in the livingroom , her mind was somewhere else . On a sertain person . Michiru . It had been weeks ago since Haruka was visited by Setsuna who took her illness away , But it were also weeks ago since she last spoke to Michiru . Haruka knew she should just pick up the phone and call her . But what could she say ? And that wasn't the only thing what was bothering her . How could she be so stupid to let Michiru just walk away ? Why was she so damn afraid to just go tell her friend she was sorry ?

'' I'm so damn stupid . Why did i let my stupid illness get in the way ? I should've known Setsuna was strong enough to somehow just take it away . But she can't bring me Michiru , I know that now . I screwed up big time .''

Haruka's closed eyes were open now and were focused on the phone . Why wouldn't the damn thing just ring , Why wasn't Michiru calling ? She must've known Haruka was still alive by now . ' Why would she ? After how i reacted and rejected her concern and ...love .'

Nobody's gonna love me better
I'm must to stick with you
Forever
Nobody's gonna take me higher
I'm must to stick with you
You know how to appreciate me
I'm must to stick with you
My baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way
I'm must to stick with you

Haruka stayed this way for hours until it bacame dark and she realised that sitting there and feeling sorry for herself wasn't going to help her out . So without thinking it through Haruka picked up the phone and dailed Michiru's number . '' Please pick up .'' After awhile of waiting the phone switched over to Michiru's answering Machine and Michiru's recorded voice could be heard .

'' Michiru Kaioh's residence , I'm not at home at the moment but please leave me a message after that annoying beep sound , bye ! ''

Beep !

Haruka took a deep and dissapointed breath and hung up . '' Maybe she doesn't want to talk to me , but I'm sorry Michi cause i want to talk to you . I won't lose you again .'' Haruka jumped up and walked over to the hallway to put on her jacket and shoes . When she was done she opened the frontdoor only to face Michiru sitting there in the snow. When Haruka took a closer look she saw Michiru's lips were blue and she was or sleeping or unconscious . Haruka guessed it was the second one and she lifted Michiru up out of the snow . She was glad to see the smaller girl breathing but emerged inside of the house . She lay Michiru down on the couch she had been sitting on all day and put a blanket over the aqua haired beauty .

' What was she doing in front of my house in this friggin' cold ? ' Haruka asked herself but strugged it off .

The next morning Haruka woke up when she felt a hot body next to her . '' What the ...! '' But when she saw it was Michiru she calmed down a little . ' Wait ...Michiru ? ' She started to panic again when she saw Michiru's eyes were open .

'' Morning ...'' Michiru whispered and smiled softly even though she wanted to cry .

'' Morning ...'' Haruka said pulling Michiru closer to her own body .'' You're cold ...''

'' Haruka what are you doing ? '' Michiru asked . She was suprised by Haruka's sudden change of heart . She thought that when Haruka would wake up she would be mad at her but instead of that she almost acted like ...Like her lover ?

'' Pulling you closer to me Michi .'' Haruka said as if it was the most normal thing in the world .

'' Yeah i noticed that ...but ...why ? '' It felt strange to ask . Ofcourse Michiru knew why Haruka pulled her closer but she needed to hear those words come from Haruka's mouth . She needed assurance Haruka really did love her .

'' Because ...You know damn well why ! ''

'' Yeah ...i do .'' Michiru smiled as she laid her head on Haruka's stomach . '' I just want to hear you say it Ruka .''

'' I love you ? '' Haruka asked not quite understanding Michiru .

'' Uhum ...just say it Ruka .'' Michiru said pulling Haruka's shirt up to kiss her stomach .

'' That tickels ..'' Haruka said between a fit of laughter .

Michiru pulled back and watched her friend closely .'' I know ...'' But instead of kissing Haruka's stomach now she crawled up to kiss Haruka on her lips but Haruka stopped her . For a moment Michiru feared she had misunderstood Haruka's intention but when Haruka pulled Michiru closer to whisper something in her ear she felt her heart skip a beat .

Nobody gonna love me better
I'm must to stick with you
Forever
Nobody gonna take me higher

'' I love you ...'' Haruka whispered before kissing Michiru fully on her lips .

After awhile they parted again . They both felt happier then they ever had been before but there was still on question burning inside of Michiru . '' Haruka ? ''

'' Mmmh ? ''

'' Does this mean that i'm your girlfriend now ? ''

'' Nope .'' Was the short answer of the blonde .

'' No ? '' Michiru was on the edge of crying now . Why did Haruka play with her emotions like this ? First she tells her she loved Michiru and then kissed her but they weren't eachothers girlfriends ?

'' I'll only take you as my girlfriend if i'm yours too .'' Haruka added and smiled when she saw Michiru's eyes light up .

'' Ofcourse ! '' Michiru now cried while she hugged Haruka . She had failed in keeping her tears to herself but it didn't matter . Haruka on the other hand was crying too but didn't like the whole idea of showing any weakness .

And now
Ain't nothing else I can need
And now
I'm singing 'cause you're so, so into me
I got you
We'll be making love endlessly
I'm with you
Baby, you're with me

'' Don't worry Ruka ...I'll be the only one who will ever know that you're a real softy inside .'' Michiru whispered as if she could read Haruka's mind .

'' Damn Michi , you are hanging around With Setsuna too much , you're even sounding like her .''

'' Don't worry Haruka , it's not like you could ever hide something from me . '' Michiru said and before Haruka could say anything else she was silenced by Michiru's lips .

So don't you worry about
People hanging around
They ain't bringing us down
I know you and you know me
And that's all that counts
So don't you worry about
People hanging around
They ain't bringing us down
I know you and you know me
And that's why I say

Nobody gonna love me better
I'm must to stick with you
Forever
