Mayuri sat there for a moment, not wanting to look at him. The driver rolled down the window as she looked up at him, and just then a hint of sadness could be seen in her eyes. She wasn't hurt...but was a bit more disappointed, which to Takashi, could be worse than actually hurting someone! Attempting to make the situation a bit easier, she smiled big...
"Ne, Takashi...call me Ayu..." she said right before the driver pulled away, rolling the window back up. Mayuri held the jacket to her, shivering slightly. She closed her eyes and took in his scent...and didn't look back to Takashi.
-Meanwhile-
The Third Music Room had somehow filled with customers and stared at the love scene, Renge and her high powered motor thing were out of hiding and crying, saying "Suteki da ne!!" and the customers wiped their tears on their handkerchiefs.
Tamaki watched, a small smile on his face. ~Yume...janai, Mori-senpai~ he thought to himself as Kaoru looked annoyed. He looked almost pouty, wondering where Hikaru had gone off to again.

-as Mayuri spoke, Mori's eyes got really wide. He could see the sadness through that big smile. She mentioned again that she wanted him to call her Ayu. That was it....it was because he reverted back to formality. He held his shame from what happened and felt it was only necessary for that to occur, but now, more than ever he was sad and felt quite alone.-
Gomen ne.....
-is all that he could mutter. he was unaware of the watchful eyes on him. His mind was filled with too much to even notice at all. He shivered lightly from the rain and fell to one knee. He couldn't make the thoughts go away at all. The rain pounded down on him, soaking him to the bone. The rain described his mood very well. He sighed and stood back up, then walked back into the school building. Mori returned to the 3rd Music room and nodded to everyone, not even paying attention to how tearful they all were and all gathered around the window-

Tamaki came up, holding an oversized towel and another uniform for him. He smiled kindly and offered it to him, silent.
"Mori-senpai...are you going to go to the Haninozuka Mansion and keep her company after school?" he asked.
Kaoru was entertaining guests, putting on an act to cover his real feelings. He was a bit jealous of Mori-senpai and it radiated through him to Kyouya, but no one else knew. He sipped tea and described the next big event planned by Tamaki...

-he thought about Tamaki's words for a moment as he accepted the towel and change of clothing. He put the towel over his head, his face barely visible. But he was smiling a bit. He turned to Tamaki, the smile vanishing, but bits of it lingering-
Ah....
-He said, heading towards the back of the music room so he could change behind the curtain. He did this quickly and then returned to the others. He stood there for a moment and then looked to Tamaki-
I will see you tomorrow...
-he said quietly as he ran out the door. On his way to the front door, he made the call for his limo. It arrived right in time for he opened the door and saw it there. It walked outside and headed towards the limo, once again getting soaked. What a waste of a uniform...but he didn't care right now. He sat in the limo, the leather squeaking under him and told the driver to take him to the Haninozuka residence.-
-Before long, they arrived. The gate wasn't open, but he told the driver to go on anyway and leave him there. In the pouring rain, he stood outside and pressed the buzzer so he could speak to security. He could normally get in right away, but he wanted to know from her if she wanted him to come in or not.-
Is....Haninozuka Mayuri here?

The Security Guard nodded and connected the video link from Mayuri's room to the front gate.
Mayuri was in a skirt and a long sleeved loose shirt. Her socks were long and loose. She saw the vid conference phone ring and she pressed a button, blinking as she saw Takashi.
"T-Takashi?..." she blinked again. A look of happiness could be seen in her eyes as she smiled.
"Come in! You're soaked, Takashi!" she informed the guards to let him in and escort him straight to the mansion. Hastily, might I add.
She grabbed a towel and ran down the stairs. She waited for him to arrive...

-The gate opened and allowed him entrance and noticed a security guard running his way. Takashi followed him into the mansion and noticed Mayuri waiting for him inside. He kept his straight face and bowed, dripping everywhere. He felt his body shiver slightly from the rain and cold, but he didn't let that bother him. He straightened up and looked to Mayuri-
G-gomen ne, Ayu-chan...
-he said. He could see the happiness and worry in her expression-

Mayuri heard the informality in her use of name and smiled at him. She wrapped the towel around him before hugging him close. She closed her eyes, her smile growing wider.
"Baka...there's nothing to be sorry about..." she said softly and was getting soaked. She didn't care though, as long as he was getting warm through her.
The maids prepared a hot bath for Takashi so he wouldn't get sick, just as they had for Mayuri when she got home earlier. They also had tea prepared for when he got out and served it in her room. She soon broke away from him and looked up.
"Go take a bath, so you don't get sick, ne? I'll have tea in my room...I'll see you soon" she said. The maids escorted him to the bath, a change of clothes already sitting on a small stand.

-He watched her for a moment and then was suddenly embraced by her. He looked down to her, his eyes widened. He really didn't know how to react. Mitsukuni hugged him a lot, but this was different...right? He just did what any gentleman would do and hugged her back....he guessed. He listened to her words about taking a bath and nodded-
A-Ah.....
-he muttered as she let him go and he was escorted to the bath. It was huge...almost like a hotspring in the house. He sighed as he was left alone and then removed his clothing once again and slipped into the bath. He leaned his head against the backing and looked up to the ceiling, thinking to himself-
why did I.....come here?
-he questioned himself in a low voice. He shook the thought from his mind. It made Mayuri happy...and if she was happy then things were going to be alright. He finished washing up and then put on the new clothes laid out for him. it was just a black shirt with long flowing sleeves and a pair of denim jeans. he put on the slippers laid out for him and cleaned up his own belongings. He walked out of the bath area and a maid was waiting outside for him to escort him to Mayuri's room. He followed and stepped into her room as the door was opened by the maid. He bowed to Mayuri and then watched the door being shut behind them-
A-arigato..

Mayuri sat at her little table, somewhat like the kotetsu but without the heated blankets underneath. She smiled to him, welcoming him to the tea and the cake.
"Takashi...the tea is ready.." she said and poured them both a cup. She smiled, her hair in a braid.

Ah...
-he said as he walked forward and sat down across from her, watching her pour the tea. He smiled lightly and put some cake on a small plate for her-
i should be pouring your tea, ayu-chan....
-he said in a soft voice as he sat the plate in front of her then took a sip of his tea-
Arigato...
-he said again, then looked up at her, his hair still a bit wet from the bath., He smelt of cinnimon from the bath oils. He then suddenly sneezed turning his head just in time so it didn't get on the food or Mayuri. He held a hand over his mouth and then looked back at her-
gomen ne.

Mayuri smiled and shook her head.
"Daijoubu...ne, do you have homework, Takashi? It seems I have a lot of catching up to do and I also have an exam I have to study for to ensure my credits are in place. I was wondering if...you didn't have anything to do tonight...if you could stay and help me with studying...?" she asked, hoping he'd say yes.
She sat there and munched on cake and sipped her tea, feeling very happy that Takashi was there. She blinked and stopped for a moment.
"You skipped out...on hosting, didn't you?" she asked, setting her tea cup down.
Suddenly, in chibi mode, Mayuri glomps him.
"TAKASHI! ARIGATOU!" and the flowers surround her, all chibi kawaii like...

-He tilted his head to the side a bit. He tended to do his homework during class sometimes, but he didn't have any that he could think of. He smiled lightly when she asked for his help. He nodded-
Ah...
-he said, agreeing to do so. But before he could say or think anything else, she went all chibi mode and asked about the host Club. he let out a small chuckle that last only a moment, something very rare for him-
Sou-kun said I could...so it is alright.
-He patted her little chibi head and then sipped his tea again-
What classes...do you need help with Ayu-chan?
-he was best in English, the sciences and history. Math wasn't his biggest strong point, but he could still manage pretty well.-

Mayuri smiled and looked to him before hearing his question about what she needed help in. She thought for a moment, doing the whole spacey flowery blinkity thinking thing.
"I need help with History the most and perhaps Anatomy...otherwise, I think I'll do well. I already exceeded the literature requirements." she said and scooted back to her spot, munching on more cake. Her room was full of pictures of her brothers and of her. It looked really cute, she had taken a trip to America and she had a bunch of friends there since she stayed for a summer.
There was two pictures that should've caught Takashi's gaze...a brown-haired boy hugging her that summer she stayed in America and a more recent one...of him kissiner her cheek, an arm around her shoulders. They both looked real happy.
Mayuri just kept eating.

Ah...my best subjects...
-he said softly to her, smiling as he poked at his cake before taking a bite. he let his eyes wander around the room, his gaze falling on two pictures of her and a boy with brown hair. He tilted his head to the side and the looked away. It shouldn't bother him......should it? he suddenly spoke without thinking-
boyfriend?
-he cursed himself inside. "Stupid Takashi! You should never ask someone that. It will only make them think.......that..." he cut his thoughts off right there and looked to her.-
Nevermind...onto your studies..

Mayuri blinked when Takashi said boyfriend. She then looked at a picture and laughed.
"Takashi...do you mean Shein?" she pointed to the picture. She smiled to him and shook her head.
"He's a really good friend from America." she explained and blinked at the subject change.
"...Okay...so...my studies.."
