I. Research, Practice, & The Walk Inoo had finally realized his feelings for Hikaru. He had found out by doing some research, reading romance novels and pretty shoujo mangas. He decided to take extra measures. Inoo wanted to use what he had learned and practiced and apply it to real life. 'I'll be able to capture Hikaru's heart in no time. He won't know what hit him!'

He opened a crack and saw Hikaru alone in the library, reading a book. 'Perfect! Thank god no one else is here this early!' Inoo pushed the door open, straightened his back, and strutted in, one hand on his hips.

Inoo sat down in a chair beside Hikaru, knees together, elbows propped on the table, and hands on his face. Hikaru looked dumbfounded when he had glanced up from his book to see who came in and made a weird face. He was about to say something but closed his mouth. 'Maybe he has already fallen for my charm,' Inoo thought to himself.

II. Smile, Shyness, & Eye Contact "Umm... are you okay?" Hikaru finally asked after a few seconds of silence.

"Eh? Why do you ask?" Inoo batted his eyelashes gently and flashed a half smile.

Hikaru raised an eyebrow and said, "Because you walked really weird when you came in. Did you get injured when we had that dance rehearsal earlier?"

'Walking weird? I practiced my walk for two hours yesterday, watching videos of foreign models on the runways that I rented out.' He quickly thought of what to say next. "Eh? Were you worried about me?" He tucked a strand of hair behind his ear while looking down shyly. Inoo slowly raised his eyes and looked directly at him and gave him a sexy but subtle smile, still fluttering his eyelids.

III. Patientness, Touch, & The Look "Is there something wrong with your eyes, too? Do you have allergies? And that smile is creeping me out... Are you sure everything is alright?" Hikaru had on a concerned face.

Inoo frowned but quickly turned it upside down. "Nothing is wrong and I don't have any allergies. Don't I usually smile like this?" he replied softly. I practiced in the mirror for hours trying to master this! I must be calm and patient. I forgot Hikaru is a bit clueless... wait no... he's an idiot.

Hikaru smiled back. "And to answer your question earlier, of course I'm worried about you. You're a really awesome bandmate. I wouldn't want anything to happen to you."

'Maybe he's not such an idiot after all...' Inoo giggled and brushed Hikaru's shoulder casually. "Aww... you're so nice... and funny. Those are some traits that I like about you..." He lowered his head while twirling his hair. Hikaru opened his mouth to speak but Inoo suddenly leaned towards him, and picked something off his shirt. "Sorry," as he whispered into Hikaru's left ear. "You had something on your T-shirt.
Inoo stared into Hikaru's eyes, a sexy but mysterious look or so 'The Idiot's Guide to Flirting' said to do. 'It was hard pulling off this look but I managed to do it after weeks of practice.' He felt proud of himself. 'All my hard work is finally paying off!'

IV. Pickup Line Hikaru's eyes were just wide open and Inoo took this silence to be a good thing. He touched the book that Hikaru was reading and said through half lidded eyes, "I forgot to bring my library card but if I had it, I would definitely check you out."

Hikaru's lips twitched and he suddenly bursted out laughing. Inoo tilted his head in confusion. "Are you sure you're not on crack or something? You're seriously acting strange today."

'Well that certainly ruined the mood I was trying to go for...' Inoo pouted and crossed his arms over his chest. "You're so mean Hikaru! I have to go now so I'll see you later!" He stood up and was about to leave when Hikaru grabbed onto his wrist. Maybe it worked this time!

V. Crossdress & Just Be Yourself "I didn't notice this until now but... are you wearing a skirt?" Hikaru said grinning. Inoo automatically froze up and crossed his legs. "You look very pretty today, Inoo-chan," Hikaru smirked. "But you know, your flirting skills really suck."

Inoo's eyes shot open. "H-how did y-you know?"

"You're too obvious. I saw you checking out and reading books plus mangas about flirting and love with a serious look on your face. Didn't think I would know, huh?" Hikaru answered. Inoo was too speechless to say anything now. "I must say, it was really amusing watching you 'flirt' with me, seeing you try so hard... By the way, the best way to get to my heart is to just be yourself and to confess." He slowly got closer to Inoo. Hikaru blew gently into the latter's ear and he shivered in response.

"I-I l-li-like you..." Inoo finally gasped out, blushing like crazy. 'Is this really happening? Me... confessing... and then Hikaru...'

"You're so cute when you blush. That's the thing that gets to me. I like you, too..." Hikaru whispered huskily into his ear. He held Inoo's face with one hand and pulled him forward to to his own. There they kissed... in the library... for who knows how long...
