((I know right? They're like an old married couple. Too cute!))

The teapot was filled with water and set on the stove for the water to boil. While she waited on that, Kaneko opened the cabinet and brought down a mug and set it on the counter. She then looked in the refrigerator and decided to make herself a little something to eat for breakfast. Scrambled egg burrito. Her stomach growled at the thought and she started to work on making that for herself. When the water was ready for his tea, Kaneko poured it gently into the mug then set the teapot back onto the stove after turning off the flames. She walked to the pantry and pulled out a box of peppermint tea. Kaneko took one of the tea bags and put the box back where it went then dropped the tea bag into the mug of hot water and drowned it there using a spoon. It had to steep for a few. During that time, she finished making her breakfast and ate it quietly by herself at the table. Afterwords, she threw out the tea bag from the mug, put the spoon in the sink and made her way to the room with the mug of hot tea. "Careful, it's hot." she warned after she entered the room.

He wouldn't forget the popcorn. Why kind did she like? Kettle or butter? Well that was something to worry about later. Right now he needed to get to work. Popping into her room to say bye, Clint smiled seeing her fast asleep there on her bed. He carefully took the time to tuck her in properly, "Goodnight mads." He whispered then headed out of her room and out of the house. The door was locked behind him and he got in his car then drove off to work. Be on the lookout for Jess, Clint. Don't let her seduce you anymore. Be in charge of yourself. It was easier said then done. He knew the moment he'd see her, that he'd fall again and give in just a little bit.

Kaneko felt her heart flutter in her chest when he spoke. He really was too good for her, but he had picked her and she wasn't complaining. He was her everything. Her beam of light when things looked really dark. She would do anything to take care of him and make him happy. To see that smile on his lips was everything to her. At least he was taking it easy. There wasn't really much else he could do at the moment. He wanted tea! Kaneko nodded. "Of course, of course! I will go get that for you right away. You just rest here and I will be right back with the tea okay?" She said then walked to the door but stopped and turned back. Instead, she walked to back to Allen and kissed his cheeks and then his forehead before leaving to get started on the peppermint tea.

The boy didn't need to be told twice before he closed his eyes and fell to sleep there on the couch by Takashi. Haruhi glanced back towards the door and saw that Kyoya himself was walking in as if he hadn't been late at all. The twins? "W-well are they okay? If something happened, you don't look very troubled about it Kyoya-senpai." Haruhi said quietly, keeping her distance. Of all the members of the club, he was the scariest. Probably because he always looked so calm, so you never knew what he was thinking.

Mia looked to the classroom door. She hadn't seen Takashi or Mitsukuni yet. Had they even shown up today? While debating on looking for them or not, she remembered Takashi mentioned a Kendo class. Mitsukuni had mentioned that they usually arrived late because of this. "Was that today?" She asked herself. Why was she so focused on seeing them again?

The twins stared at her as she spoke. It wasn't going to be easy, it was a pretty long process and time was not on their side sadly. "Then that's what we'll do." Hikaru said, startling his brother. "It's better than doing nothing. We'll give him a call, explain what happened. I'm sure that will be enough for him to come down and see her." Hikaru said to his brother. Kaoru pondered on this for a second. "I suppose it's the only option we have at the moment and we're not really in a position to postpone this action from taking place."

Maddie was apologizing and Clint's eyes widened as he quickly shook his head. "Mads, it's not your fault. It's okay. You wanted me to go hang out with friends. You're totally okay. It's my fault that she wants to talk to me...a-and I think I know what she wants to talk about. Another mistake of mine." He said. Maybe he might as well tell her who she was. No..no it wasn't important and Maddie didn't need to know anything about Jess. It would probably just make things worse. "Cheer up yeah? We have movies to look forward to when I get back and I'm making popcorn. So don't worry, it will be like the real deal okay?" Clint explained to her, trying to cheer her up. "I have to go get ready for work. I'm leaving you my cell number right here on this notepad in case you want to call for whatever reason." He said to her, getting up he walked to the notepad on the refrigerator door and jot down his cell number and the hours of his break. "There you go. I'll see you later Mads. And thanks again for the reading, I do appreciate it." He told her, giving her a warm smile before walking away to his room to get ready for work.

Honey looked to his cousin and stared at him. "Hmm...yes. I did all my homework too a-and then I had a bit of sweets before bed. But I brushed my teeth, promise and then I went to bed but I don't remember what time it was." The smaller blonde frowned. Maybe he didn't get enough sleep. Homework was boring though, and there was a lot to do and to read. "Did you sleep well Takashi? I..I'm sorry for being sleepy still. I'm not a morning person you know."

Haruhi had to admit it was strange that none of them had called to notify that they'd be late. "Have you tried to get into contact with them?" She asked him. Trying to call them seemed like the best idea right now. The question was, would they answer though?

Kaoru couldn't believe what he was hearing. That was it then? She just had to wait until her body gave up? Was it really just a waiting game right now? "I'm going to guess that you've tried to get your parents to sign their permission for you being allowed to get this pacemaker and they've not agreed..." He frowned. He wasn't mad at her no. He was mad at her parents. Their daughter was dying and they weren't doing a damn thing about it! He had to stay calm, he had to keep his head clear and think rationally. Hikaru was at Alice's bedside and gently rested his hand over hers. School was the least of his concerns right now. "You're not a terrible friend Alice." Kaoru answered quietly, approaching her and lightly patting her shoulder. "I understand that you just didn't want to make us worry. We're your friends though, we will always worry about you." He told her and Hikaru nodded, quickly wiping the tears from his own cheeks. "We have to figure out how to get you that pacemaker." Hikaru whispered. His brother nodded, but it wouldn't be easy. They needed a signature from the parents. How were they going to trick them into signing a medical form?

Kaneko had no regrets either. She wasn't sorry they spoke that night in the park. It was a simple, innocent conversation. A chance for her to make friends. Friends that she could see outside of work. People she could talk to when things got rough at home. This hadn't ever popped into her head, but she didn't regret it happening when it did and the way that it did. Of course it was her luck that she fell for a vampire and that the vampire was one her father had been trying to kill. "It's not your fault Allen. You being here helps greatly." She assured. It was true. This would be much more frightening if she were all by herself. At least now she had someone by her side who was very important to her. "Going to get some sleep?" She asked him. "W-would you like anything to drink? Or...well I should let you sleep actually. Rest is important."

Again, Clint waited patiently and remained still while the reading was going on. This one was taking longer and it made him worry, was Maddie seeing something terrible? Maybe he shouldn't have asked her for such a complicated reading. He felt as if he were taking advantage of her by asking her to do this but he didn't plan on doing this every day. Right now he needed to know if there was going to be any problems. Then Maddie's eyes opened and she let go of his hand. Clint lowered his hand onto the table and looked at her, waiting for what she had to say.

When she started to explain what she had seen, his hand balled up to a fist and he groaned. "Jess..." He muttered, slightly annoyed. Well, at least now he knew what to look forward to. What the hell would she want to talk about? That kiss probably? It would make sense. But why at work? Why didn't she just bug him with a phone call? "So Jess is going to start stalking me...how...fun." He didn't look excited at all though, clearly his words were meant to be a joke. He'd have to keep an eye out for her, but he had to look surprised when he did see her that way she wouldn't get suspicious or anything. "Great, just what I needed." He sighed and ran his hands through his hair.

Haruhi walked into the room, seeing only Tamaki was there. Kyoya and the famous duo were nowhere to be seen and that seemed to have the king of the host club worried. Of course this worried her too, where were they? Honey yawned as he was set down on the couch, his arms wrapped around Usa-chan now, eyes heavy. "Tamaki-senpai.." Haruhi began and closed her mouth. What could she even say about this situation? She didn't even know anything herself so it wasn't like she could offer any form of comfort. "I-I'm sure they'll be here shortly. Perhaps they uhh...g-got caught up in traffic?" She offered, trying to help in some sort of way.

This was a surprise to Kaoru who had never heard about her being sick before. "You're sick?" He repeated and looked at Hikaru who frowned and looked down at his feet. "And you knew about this...and didn't tell me?" He asked his brother. Hikaru nodded. Kaoru wasn't going to make a scene, he knew better than to do that here. Instead, he looked at Alice again. "What do you mean sick Alice? How sick are you? W-what are you talking about when you say you don't have much time left? C-come on now, surely you c-can't be seriously...d-dying." That last word was but a whisper. The idea of his best friend dying so soon was not something he wanted to think about. She was too young and she looked so healthy, how long had she been sick? Why didn't he know about this? "Does anyone else know about this?" He asked.

Kaneko watched him set the tray off to the side. Perhaps he was full now. She knew that whenever she was sick, she didn't really want to eat much but she knew she had to eat if she ever wanted to get better. He still felt really warm, it was worrisome but she was hopeful he'd get better soon. He had to. He wouldn't hurt her. No, of course he wouldn't. He wasn't like the others, but she knew that there was a possibility it would happen and if it did, it would be accidental. He wouldn't hurt her on purpose. Her warm hand reached up and lightly cupped his cheek. "I know Allen. I love you too." She answered quietly. "I'm being silly aren't I?" She asked and chuckled. Kaneko looked into his milky white eyes, her heart slowed down. She was safe.
