Yoshi had stayed out at his partner's dorm til at least midnight last night. He went to sleep as soon as he got back inside his place and the next morning he made his way to his classes. Classes were uneventful until it was time for the class they were doing the project for. His partner was called to the piano and played a piece of the song they had practiced last night.
As he listened Yoshi closed his eyes so that he could focus on hearing and taking in every aspect and every note played. As he did images of his little getaway gazebo filled his mind only this time the scenery was depicted in greater detail like he could focus on each little minute detail. It was night and he could smell the water. It was refreshing and the perfect temperature outside as he saw images like a slideshow of the lilly pads on the water, the fireflies buzzing around, the croaking of frogs and a soft rustle from the trees as a gentle breeze blew through the woods. It was heaven until the song stopped and he snapped back to reality.

When it was time for the projects to be presented they were brought into a recording studio. The two had meet the other day and after her partner heard the song he knew what lyrics would go with, well of course after a few hours of freaking out. They had recorded a few instruments playing the song together and Otoya put on his head phones before stepping in front of the mic. After a few seconds of nervousness he sang the song. Everyone was a little surprise that a first year could make such a beautiful sounding song. But then again after they heard the others they were all around the same. They all did pretty well on the test.
"We did it!" Otoya said after reading their scores. He couldn't believe that they actually got a 98% on it.
"Well of course! Your lyrics were amazing." Haruka said with a happy smile.
"No, your music just made the lyrics amazing." he told her trying to give her a complement but she didn't realize it. They talked for a while after trying to figure out what they would do next. Since the day was over after that it left a lot of the day to bs around.

It was the due date for the projects and Yoshi and his partner stepped in front of their class. Yoshi sang the lyrics they had worked on the night he went to his partner's dorm and listened to the song. They were greeted with applause upon the conclusion and Yoshi gave them a slight bow before they started telling him how proud his brother would be. Nothing pissed him off more than people comparing him to his imaginary brother.
He sighed as he took his seat after the instructor turned to the two and gave them a 98.
"Less than perfect?" he mumbled. "I'll have to work harder next time. It's unacceptable."

Haruka smiled as they made their way out of class. They all decided to go out and eat to celebrate the scores they got. Haruka smiled happily as she they decided which one they wanted to go to.

His partner approached him after class to ask him if he wanted to join him and a few friends to go out and celebrate getting A's on the project. Yoshi politely declined before making his way through the school towards his dormitory. He was still disgruntled that he hadn't gotten a perfect score.
"I'm an up and coming star and yet they have the nerve not to give me a perfect score. That performance was gold." he mumbled to himself as he made his way to his room.

As they made their way though the school she saw Yoshi looking quiet angry as he made his way down the hall towards his dorms. She wanted to ask what was wrong but she remembered the last time that they had talked. He didn't enjoy the slightest attention so she decided that giving him his space was probably better then trying to ask him questions.
As they made it off campous they made it to the famous ice cream place in town. There was still a rather long line of people waiting to order and she was slightly discouraged by it but her friends just dragged her in line. They spend thirty minutes in line, seven minutes inside getting their ice cream and a few seconds to be pushed out to make room for more people.
They all laughed as they ate their ice cream in the front of the store. They didn't talk about much but Haruka enjoyed herself a lot.

Yoshi made it back to his room and closed the door behind himself. He fell back onto his bed and stared up at the ceiling as he thought about the project and what he could have done differently to have made it even better. He would've liked to have been able to blame it on something as simple as his partner not being skilled at playing the piano but that wasn't the case at all. He sang it beautifully so it wasn't his voice. Could it just have been the lyrics and the melody? He thought it had been an acceptable melody and he was always proud about his ability to make the perfect lyrics for any tune he heard.
As he was brainstorming his room mate came in the door and stopped and stared at him for a moment before grabbing something quick and running back out the door because he was glaring at him. He sighed once he was alone again and figured he might as well work on the other homework he had to do.

When everything was said and done they all went their separate ways. Haruka wanted to go to that lake and just relax. She just hoped that he wouldn't be their. As she walked over it started to rain really bad. She quickly ran under that gazebo and panted softly. "I didn't know it was supposed to rain. I guess I will just wait it out." she said as she sat down and looked out over the water. It looked so pretty. All the ripples in the water. Everything had a cool breeze to it. It was like the whole world was in a state of relaxation. She smiled as she closed her eyes and just listened to the rain.

After he finished with the homework he had to do he sat in his room bored out of his mind. He knew what he wanted to do. He turned to look out his window to see the rain. The scenery would be extra calming and beautiful today.
He sighed before getting up off of his bed and grabbed his iPod before grabbing his umbrella and making his way to the oasis. On his way he kept his head down, knowing the way by memory. Once there he bumped into someone and apologized when he saw Haruka. Without saying a word he offered her his umbrella, dangling it by the looped handle off of one finger that he reached out to her.
Some might think he was trying to be friendly or nice but in actuality he was just trying to see if she'd leave if she had an umbrella so he could be alone to relax. He wouldn't be rude enough to say it out loud however, that blatantly at least. He already had his ear buds in as his playlist started from where he left off. At the moment he had classical music playing with a lot of different versions of Pachelbel's Canon in D mixed in with Pathetique, Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, and Fur Elise.

Haruka looked up at him as he walked over. She heard the music he was listening too as he held out the umbrella. At first she thought how kind of him, but then she thought, oh wait he just wants me gone and out of her way. Even though she wasn't sure if he could hear her she stood up.
"Thank you anyway. I will be fine. I will get out of your way since I'm sure you don't want me hanging around." she said as she bowed slightly then headed out into the rain. She wanted to look back and see what he would do but she didn't. She just headed right into the building with the dorms.
She walked into her room and her roommate was asleep still. She staid as quiet as she could as she stripped from her wet cloths and changed into new ones as she dried her hair in a towel. When she was finished she brushed it before getting into bed. She laid down and pulled her blanket over her body. She let her eyes slip closed as she fell asleep.

He blinked as he stared at her as she walked out into the rain. He couldn't hear what she said but he could read lips well enough. She saw through him immediately and it made him smirk. Now he felt bad though that she got wet. He sighed and shrugged as he listened to his playlist. After a while of relaxing and listening to his music, he walked into the dorm he saw her walk into and did something his character would never do. He asked around to strangers what room she had gone in.
He stopped in front of her door and knocked. He set down his umbrella with her name written on the handle. He walked off and disappeared around the corner just in time as her roommate answered the door. He went back to his dorm and changed out of his wet clothes into PJ bottoms and went to bed.

Haruka woke up the next morning and turned her alarm clock off. She sat up as she stretched up her eyes looked at an umbrella. She was confused. It looked like the umbrella that Yoshi had tried to give her yesterday. She slipped off her bed and picked it up as her roommate entered the room.
"I found that outside the door. Someone must have returned it. You probably left it somewhere." she said as she started to rub her hair to dry it.
"But..." she started. She was rather confused. Why would he give her his umbrella when he would need it the next day it was raining. She set it down on her bed before she got dressed. She fixed up her hair. "Hey I will see you later." she told her before she ran out in search for Yoshi

The next morning was Saturday so Yoshi felt like sleeping in. He rolled over in bed after shutting off his alarm clock and tried to go back to sleep. He was finding it difficult however since his grade from the recent project was still bothering him.
He sighed and got out of the bed. He showered before sitting at his keyboard. He played through what he had so far of a new song he had started working on. he was at the point now to try and think of an ending for the melody and eventually he would think up lyrics. The song was an ode to his favorite spot on the campus. He had been working on it for a while in his spare time as a labor of love.
Strangely enough when he paused to think the image of Haruka upon discovering the umbrella he left for her came to mind. he could see a big grin on her face and it made him smirk as well.

Haruka asked around till someone finally told her where his room was. She walked up to his door and this wonderful music flowed out. It was a very simple but moving piece. It sounded like something that a professional created. She hesitated before she knocked on the door. She didn't want the music to end but she wanted to thank him for the umbrella. Even though he didn't seem to like her he still gave her a gift and she wasn't going to ignore it just because of a few times he had insulted her.
She stood nervously at the door waiting for him to answer.

He thought he heard a knock at the door so he stopped playing and hesitated to listen. When another one didn't come he figured he might as well check to see if anyone was there. Who would be bothering him though? Everyone in his building knew enough not to bother him when he was playing. He made his way to the door and opened it to see Haruka standing in the doorway. He eyed her for a few moments before deciding to speak.
"Can I help you? I was just in the middle of something. If I stay away from it for too long my train of thought will get derailed."

She bowed slightly. "I'm so sorry! I just wanted to properly thank you for the umbrella even though you didn't have to give it to me." she said before she stood up straight with a small smile on her face. "I don't want to keep you from your work though so I will let you return to it. I will find a way to repay you for what you did though." she said as she turned and her smile only grew. She never really had gotten a gift from someone that wasn't family and it was nice. She was just unsure how to repay him for it. "Well, see you around then." she said as she waved.

He raised a hand with a confused expression on his face as she waved and walked off with a big grin on her face.
"I was purposefully rude to her and she still grinned like that? Strange girl."
After a few moments of pondering he returned to his work, closing the door behind himself. He continued where he remembered leaving off. He had to finish this piece or his next album wouldn't be complete. That would leave him with a pissed off agent.

Since today was a weekend and she really didn't have much to do she just planned on cleaning up a bit. She walked over and into her room. She set her umbrella on the edge of her bed and started to get work. She cleaned up her room and did her wash but then sadly it was only mid afternoon when she was done.

Yoshi continued working on the piece until his eyes were beginning to tire and blur. He looked up from the keyboard out his window to see that the sunlight was fading fast and it would soon be night time. And then he came to a realization. It was that night! He would have to hurry down to his favorite spot on campus to visit his true secret getaway.
He grabbed his ipod and ran out the door to the gazebo. He pressed play on his mp3 player and relaxed on the bench. Once he drifted off to sleep he began to dream a dream that was so realistic. He was at his favorite spot but the tree line opened enough to reveal a distant house on a hill. It was a french country side style cottage large enough for a small family in the middle of rolling meadows with flowers as far as the eye could see. Running through close to the house was a small creek that kept the place hydrated. And there she stood. His mystery girl. She was bent over in a floral sunday dress and he called to her but could never hear what he was saying so he didn't even know her name. His only clue as to who she was was her silhouette when she turned around and all he saw besides her outline was a smile. Her mouth would move as if she was saying "welcome home".
In reality he was laying on the cold hard bench in the gazebo as the fireflies flickered around his sleeping form. A single tear slipped from his eyes down his cheek. He always cried after this dream because just as he would almost reach the girl of his dreams he'd wake up.

Haruka moved around the campous and around bed time she thought she would explore everything since it was quiet. She ended up getting lost in the woods but eventually found her way to the lake. When she got there she relaxed cause she knew how to return to her room. She thought she saw something in the gazebo. When she went closer she saw Yoshi laying there. She really didn't think him sleeping in the cool air would be good for him so she went to his side and gently shook him.
"Takatsuki, you shouldn't sleep here. I don't want you getting sick." she told him as her hands laid on his shoulder gently shaking him.

He woke up and looked around frantically until his eyes rested on her. His body that was tense relaxed and he quickly laid back and put an arm over his eyes, to pretend he was still tired but it was a ninja trick to wipe away the tears from his eyes without her noticing.
"Do you know what time it is?" he questioned as he sat up and brought his far leg over towards the side of the bench closer to her.
He stood and stretched with a yawn.
"I was working on inspiration for my next piece."
He patted her on the head with a smirk.
"Thanks for waking me though. You should get inside too."

She looked up at him with a confused look. He was acting so nice to her again. She liked it a lot better when he did that. He was really a nice person it just seemed like he just didn't want friends for some reason. A smile grew on her face as she nodded. "Yes, I know. And your welcome." she said as she stood up and walked a bit away giving him some room just in case he changed his mind about being nice to her. "If you don't mind me asking, what kind of song are you working on?" she asked him shying away slightly.

He smirked.
"A personal one," he stated simply before approaching her and walking straight past her.
"Hurry and get inside before you get sick," he called back waving to her without turning around to see if she was paying attention to him.
He returned to his room and went to bed.

She pouted slightly when she got her answer. She did want more of a reason like that but she realized that that's all she would get. She shrugged it off and followed after him. If they were closer friends she would have bothered him more about it but he was being nice. She didn't want to set him off or anything. She walked inside and then split ways with him before she ran off to her room.
Her roommate was up and she went on and on about how nice he was being. She wondered what went right and wondered if she would be able to do it again. They talked for an hour or two before she ended up falling asleep on her bed.

The next morning before classes, Yoshi got up and showered and put some pants on before sitting at his keyboard and began to play. It was his room mate's turn for the shower so he wasn't worried about waking him up. He continued where he left off from working on the piece he was making progress on last night. He figured he might be able to finish it now that he was rested and his mind could think clearly again. He didn't get too long to work on it however since he had to go to class.
He finished getting dressed and grabbed the things he would need for school before walking out the door, closing it behind himself. He made his way to his first class and sighed, still thinking about the project he had waiting for him back in his dorm room. When the professor walked into the class however he had to snap himself back to reality so that he could take proper notes on the lecture.
