The way you love me [private for me and MsJacobL]

[zajawa]

"Ah. Okay", he said and then couldn't help but smile hearing Sangre and Harumi talking.
Maybe that's why the kiss Josh gave him caught he by surprise. He then nodded. It was nice to know Josh understood what was going on inside his head now and then. Hearing Harumi calling him he went to her.
"Let's go then", he said softly, looking for the last time at Josh and Sangre and waving to them.

Josh stole a quick, last glance at Akira before looking at Sangre and smirking. “So…where do you think they’ll go first?”

Harumi walked out of the kitchen, heading down the opposite direction slightly closer to the greenery. “Alright, my room isn’t too far. Do you have any ideas where we should hide?” She wondered aloud, walking down the corridor but making sure not to leave Akira behind.
“I think they expect us to go to the greenery…I like that idea, but it’s so obvious.” Harumi tilted her head to the side and sighed in wonder. “Hm, maybe…” she pondered and shook her head every once in a while as she thought.

[zajawa]

"It is always darkest before the dawn.. Maybe because the greenery is most obvious.. they would not expect us to hide there? Or maybe.. library.. We can try to hide outside.. because I'm scared of it maybe no one would really think I would be hiding outside", he said already tensing up at the idea.. but if that would mean they could win..

[RedRose4]

Harumi glanced back at Akira and listened to what he had said. He did make really good points, in fact she thought it would be a good idea to do either of those. “Well, it’s rather early, but thankfully the sun is just peeking out now.” She smiled and hummed in thought once more.
“Outside might be good…although I know Master wouldn’t want you out there without his supervision, so if we do we have to be close to the estate. And the greenery…yes, they probably wont suspect us there because it‘s overly obvious, and the shack right outside the greenery is nice and warm, nothing scary inside, clean with pots and seeds. There’s a window along the top, so we wouldn’t be in the dark.” She spoke while getting to her door, unlocking it with a key and stepping inside.

Her room was rather similar to the layout of Akira’s, although the colours were a bit more vibrant. It had yellows and oranges, a bit of pink and green, being rather lively compared to some of the other rooms. Walking to her wall, Harumi put the drawing up against it, nodding her head and carefully putting it inside of her dresser. “I’ll hang this up once we’re not busy.” Harumi stated while also placing the tickets beside it as well. “There, now we can go.” She grinned in excitement.

[zajawa]

Akira listened to Harumi and then stopped, not stepping inside her room. It seemed it would be kind of rude to do that. After all it was someone elses room and.. a room of woman. Waiting for her he asked himself if he would be able to go outside with Harumi. Biting his lower lip he decided it would be better to go to the greenery. It wasn't like he didn't trust Harumi... but she didn't make him feel as safe as master. And going out with her would be much more stressful than with Josh.
"Maybe let's go to the greenery? I could get under that bushes on the left.. It would be hard to find me", he proposed when Harumi was ready.

[RedRose4]

Noticing that Akira didn’t step in, Harumi didn’t push it. Instead, she simply finished up what she was doing and stepped out, locking the door and smiling at Akira. “Good idea. I’ll go to the shed in the back, hopefully they won’t expect us to be so close to one another.”
Grabbing Akira’s hand softly, Harumi headed towards the greenery with him, her steps a little faster than usual, but not too rushed since she wanted to make sure she wasn’t dragging Akira. “And remember, after fifteen minutes of hiding, and they can’t find us, we win! Or else we might be hiding all day, and that would probably be bad.” She giggled.

[zajawa]

Akira flinched a bit as it was the first he was holding Harumi's hand as well as the first time he hold womans hand. It felt different than master's or Sangre's but it was also pleasantly softer. And it made him feel a bit less tense as they passed by two woman that looked like maids.
"Okay.. though I don't have a watch so I don't know exactly when fifteen minutes will pass. I can count", he said quietly, following Harumi.

[RedRose4]

Harumi could feel at first how Akira reacted to her hand, but instead of drawing back she smiled and tenderly tightened her hold. Getting closer to the greenery, Harumi hummed and furrowed her eyebrows. “You don’t have to. We have a clock in the greenery, above the door. I won’t be able to see it, but you might be able to.” she smiled softly.
Harumi then stopped at the doors of the greenery, slowly opening it and looking around. Since it was rather early, the butterflies seemed to have been a bit more dormant, the weather cooler than usual, so only a few flew around, the others nestled in the corner of the room or resting along the wooden beams.
“Okay, I’ll let us hide. If something happens I’ll be right there, I promise.” Harumi said while pointing to the small shed. It was safe enough to stay inside of, and the gardener sometimes even went inside of there to relax on busy days.

[zajawa]

As soon as they entered the greenery he felt himself relax entirely. Smiling he looked around. He would love to take care of this place when Harumi would be away with Sangre.
"It's such a beatiful place", he said softly and letting go of Harumi's hand he added. "I'm going to hide now then. Good luck, miss Harumi."
Getting in the middle of bushes he was very careful to not squash any flower. When he was sure he hid well he looked at the entrance. He really saw the clock from here.. as well as a double, massive doors. Akira tilted his head curious if master would be able to find him. Even if he would.. it was beautiful place to hide in.

[RedRose4]

Harumi smiled in agreement and nodded. “That’s why I love to work here. It’s not even a job to me.” She said passionately before nodding once again and heading towards where she was hiding. “You too Akira!” she called out softly as she giggled and hid inside the shed, going to the corner and hiding behind a large bin.
Sangre and Josh allowed the other two to have ten minutes to hide until they decided to go look. Sangre went to the right to the bedrooms, and Josh went towards the left, where the library and greenery was. At first, they’d be apart, but then go together once they had a little bit of time left.
After five minutes of searching the library, Josh furrowed his brow and headed towards the greenery. He doubted he’d be there…but he had to check at least. Just before entering the doors, Sangre came from behind and popped out of nowhere.
“Hah! I scared you.” The chef grinned and glanced at the greenery. “I think they’re out back, near the disposal chutes.” he pointed out.

Josh glanced through the windows to the greenery and then back at Sangre. “You sure?” he wondered.

“Positive. We only have ten minutes, come on!” he smiled and went into the opposite direction.
Focusing on he greenery for a short while, Josh sighed and went to where Sangre was headed.
After a few more minutes, Harumi peaked out from the shed and glanced at where Akira was. It was clear she was happy, the smile on her face expressing how their plan might have worked.
