Chapter 4 - HOME

Gakushuu POV

I was doing my homework when I heard her sweet voice" Gakushuu - kun what will you like for dinner ?" ,asked Luna. " Curry would be good ", I replied . " OK then" ,she said and went to the kitchen . It 's been a week since luna started living with us . The house has been more warmer since she came here.

A week ago

"Luna, how do you translate this sentence? ", I asked . She didn't reply . I look towards her , she seemed lost in her thoughts . I shook her shoulder " Hey luna, where is your attention ?" . "Hmm, Sorry you said something ?" , asked Luna .She seemed really worried . Even when I was teaching her she had no concentration .It's been two weeks since we became friends .At school we sit together & have our lunches together .Then at home we teach each other , but never have I seen her so tense .

I kept my books aside .She looked at me confused." Luna, is there something bothering you ?", I asked .She was taken aback by my question ." No , Nothing is bothering me . Just , you know today Maths was harder than usual" , she said laughing nervously. Even a child would be able to tell that she is lying "Luna Don't lie to m-" I was disturbed by a phone call . She looked tense while seeing her phone ring . I took the phone before her and attended the call ." I have transfer the money in your bank . I hope you will find a new apartment soon" said some lady & hung up the call.

I looked towards her and said , "Luna , what happened ?", I said trying to say it calmly but it came rather threatening. " Uhm. There is nothing to worry about .It's just that that a couple came to get a room in the apartment I was staying and the apartment was already full....so..."she said ." SO!?!" , I said loudly."What's going on?", asked dad walking into the room . " Nothing uncle Gakuho .Sorry for disturbing you " , said Luna .I was starting to lose patience . "SO!?!",I said even louder annoyed by her actions .Luna looked at me shocked maybe because she thought I wouldn't say anything in front of my father but I didn't care about that ."What are you both talking about?", asked Dad .Luna kept silent so he asked me and I told him everything. Then we returned our gazes to her .

Seeing no way out she told us," My landlady kicked me out of the apartment." "THE LANDLADY DID WHAT?!AND WHY DIDN'T YOU TOLD ME ABOUT THAT!?!" ,I said pissed off .We are friends right? Don't friends tell each other things like this ?" Well , I didn't wanted to make you worry ", She said ."Lu-""That's enough Gakushuu . She already has a lot of trouble and your arguing with her won't solve it " said dad rubbing his temples.

Luna POV

I knew he would get angry and be worried about me. Within these two weeks we both have grown closer to each other. Everyone thinks wrong about him. Behind that cold facade of his , he actually is really cute and cares for the people he likes he just don't know how to express it well. I knew if I would tell him that I was kicked out of the apartment he would be extremely worried about me and I don't know how I always end up getting him into trouble because of me .I listened some students and teachers talking about how much more concentrated and serious he used to be before , he started hanging out with me AND this TOPIC would definitely have got his attention out of studies. After all ... he is a star student.....Of course he needs to be focused.....and this topic would have really affected his studies......

"So Luna , what will you do now", asked uncle Gakuho ." I will try to find a new apartment as soon as I can " , I said reassuringly . He seemed in deep thoughts . I looked over Gakushuu and he looked pissed , I again troubled him up I better apologize to him later. " I have a better option than that , Luna why don't you move in here" , asked uncle Gakuho . Wait, What?" Uhm... what did you just say uncle Gakuho " , I asked unsurely of what I heard." I am saying you should stay here and this way you don't have to worry about moving again !" ,he said smiling like this was the most obvious thing in the world!

I looked towards Gakushuu , he was also surprised .Then I returned my gaze to Uncle Gakuho ."NO I CANNOT STAY HERE!", I said rather shouting . "But why can't you? " , asked uncle Gakuho . WHY CAN'T I? " What do you mean by, why can't I ? You already have helped me more than enough by giving me special tuition I have no intention of giving you or Gakushuu more Trouble than I already have!" , I said . Especially Gakushuu , from the first time I have met him , I have just been giving him trouble and causing distractions for him. He seemed to be taken aback by my answer .

" Lu-" , uncle Gakuho was cut by Gakushuu "What do you mean by trouble Luna. You can never be trouble to any one of us . You SAVED his LIFE & you..you are my best friend" ,he said the last sentence blushing ."And I would love to have you here", said Gakushuu almost in a whisper and blushing harder .I swear my cheeks were redder than the blood itself . I looked over uncle Gakuho and he looked like he saw a ghost .Is it so rare for him to say things like this? Finally snapping out of his thought he asked ,"So what's your decision Luna?"

"Gakushuu , dinner is ready ", said Luna with dishes in her hands."Ok", I replied ." You cook really good Luna", I said eating the food made by her." Thank you ", she said a bit blushing . How cute . I love how easily she gets flustered around me."Is something the matter Luna , your face seems red " , I asked as innocently as i can."No , it's nothing ", she replied growing redder. "Focus on the dinner , Gakushuu" , said dad seeing me messing around ."Ok" .But still I was shocked that my FATHER ASKED HER TO STAY HERE! Maybe he does have some goodness in him.

After dinner we went to study as the exams were starting from tommorow ."Okay , I am done" , I said revising everything TWICE with her."I am done as well", she said smiling."Good night Gakushuu " said Luna in her sweet voice ."Good night", I said retiring to my bed. I am so happy she choose to stay here .I have been feeling more alive since she came to my life .I feel less like a robot and more like human because of her .I am...really thankful to her . She is like an angel who is getting me out of the depths of despair .
