We were running out of Pocky. There were only two left. I wanted to keep the other nine boxes for myself... or possibly later games. I guess that meant me and Hanna would go again then end the game. A shame too. I was having fun.

I reached for the bottle and took my last turn. It took its time to stop, causing my suspenders nervous habit to happen. As it came to a stop, I let go of the straps; they were up on my shoulders. But guess where it ended up? On Hikaru. My heart raced as I made eye contact with him. He smirked and snaked his way over to me with the stick already in his mouth. Kaoru had already pretty much kissed me. Hikaru probably figured it was his turn.

He leaned in, removed my glasses in one swoop of his hand and grabbed my face gently like his brother. They both held me the same way. Gently. But, unlike his brother, when we came closer, his grip tightened slightly.

I looked at the others out of the corner off my eye and saw everybody leaning in towards us. Even Kaoru. He sat there impatiently and looked annoyed at what his brother was doing. Or sneering because he was in on it. It was hard to tell because we were so close to each other.

He pulled me in extremely close. A little too close. Then, into a full on kiss. It only lasted about a second until I pulled away out of fear and shock, but it was passionate and full. His face flushed as he gave me an embarrassing yet evil grin. I felt my face get hot as I looked at the others once again. All the color had drained from Tamaki, Honey and Hanna. Their mouths wide open with a dead stare. Suddenly, Tamaki's face burned with anger, but he kept it in. I quickly just looked at the ground and shoved the bottle to Hanna. I quickly put my glasses back on. She still had that look on her face.

She almost instantly snapped out of it before grabbing the bottle and spinning it, glaring at the twins in the process. As the bottle began to slow, my eyes followed it. Then it came to a slow stop. Honey... Again... You could just see her eyes go dead as she slowly turned her head towards a sweet-faced smiling little boy, even if he WAS older. She smiled just a little and blushed as she reached for the last pocky stick.

She put one end in her mouth and held it out for Honey, who delightfully took the other end. I watched them closely as they made their way to the center. Sitting right across from me was Tamaki, and I could see out of the corner of my eye he was NOT happy. Just then, I noticed Hikaru's music was still playing. By now, we were getting to the end of his playlist. Love songs. Why would he have love songs on his phone?

I just waved off the thought and turned my head back to Hanna and Honey. Just in time too. They were centimeters from each other. Right as their lips barely touched there was a flash of lightning. They jumped away from each other and stared out the window. We all sat in silence staring out the window, waiting for the delayed noise of thunder to come. Just when I thought it would never come, the loudest rumble shook the house and in my head. I have no idea why, but I was afraid of thunder. I screamed and ran to the nearest closet... which was all the way down the pitch black hallway. Which I was scared of too. "Sakura! Don't be scared!" Tamaki yelled. I was already in the closet sitting on the floor curled up in a balI with my hood up when I heard heavy footsteps right outside the door. They stopped right in front of the door. "Sakura?" He said in a soft voice. My hands ran over the suspender straps madly.

A flash of lightning could be seen under the door and a deep rumbled followed, which caused me to scream again and curl up even tighter. My suspenders snapped and fell down to the floor around my waist. I put my hands over my ears. After the rumble had ended, the door slowly opened. "Sakura? Are you scared of thunder?" He said in the most comforting voice I've ever heard. I nodded my head. Another strike went off outside and I hugged my knees closer to my chest, if that was possible. At that, Tamaki opened the door all the way and stepped into the closet. He knelt down in front of me and looked me right in the eyes, closing the door as he was sitting down.

"I d-don't un-nderstand why I'm so af-fraid of th-th-thunder but not l-lightning..." I shivered as I spoke. Tears dripped onto my lenses.

"Maybe just because it's loud. You did tell me that you hated loud noises." He said in that same comforting voice. Another strike went through the night and I jumped at the sound of the thunder. My eyes were squeezed shut and my hands were covering my ears. He slowly removed my glasses and cleaned them, folding them closed and setting them on a little table just outside the closet so we wouldn't accidentally crush them. I sat there for a few seconds, but opened my eyes at the sudden touch of an arm around my shoulder and a blanket over my knees. "I'm right here. It's okay." I slowly began to relax and put my head on his shoulder. Every time a shot of lightning and thunder went off outside I would grab him around the torso and bury my face in his chest while he wrapped his arms around my shoulders. I guess I would be here all night.

"T-Tamaki-s-senpai?" I said.

"Yes, princess?"

"Can you t-take my phone and t-text my s-sister telling h-her I'm st-staying th-the night?" I asked.

"Of course." I could feel my phone leave my pocket. "What's your password?"

"This sounds ch-childish but... It's 'love.'" I buried my face into his chest again. He went silent for a few minutes, texting my sister for me. It was sweet that he was doing this for me. After he texted my sister, his arm went straight back around me. I took my face out of his chest and just layed my head on it like a pillow. I became aware of my hyperventilation and my hands slightly digging my nails into him, which I'm sure he didn't like but didn't want to hurt my feelings if he said anything. I slowly released my grip and tried to calm down my breathing. He started stroking my hair very lightly, which calmed me down more, but I was still shaking.

"Hey, listen. It's just raining now." He said. His voice was so soft. I tried to listen outside the closet. All I could hear was rain. I waited a few seconds, but didn't hear any more thunder. My eyes started to drift at the soothing sound of the rain. My breathing slowed and I slowly stopped shaking. I closed my eyes and gradually fell asleep to the rhythm of Tamaki's heartbeat.
