He noticed that Misaki and Yuki had walked up on him as he finished placing the envelope into Misaki’s locker and once she asks the question he begins to stumble on his own words as he begins to feel flustered.<span style="font-style: italic">What the hell, Masaru say something! </span>His face begins to slightly turn red as he continues trying to figure it out when Haru walked up and made the bold statement about a love letter,<span style="font-style: italic">how dare him!</span>His face turns from flustered and embarrassed to outrage because he knew what happened between him and Misaki could never come out or it could be very bad.<br/><br/>“Better be careful girls and Haruko it is quite the pleasure to see you again,” he says with a stern voice has he gives Haruko a small but pretty visible stare down look as he begins contemplating either to give him some warning or to let it go.<span style="font-style: italic">If I let it go Misaki could still be protected but I may appear weak but if I give a warning Misaki would be vulnerable but I would appear strong</span>.  He begins to turn on his heels and waves good bye to them as he says, “Have a good day and Haruko I would love to talk to you at lunch today if you can find sometime in your not so busy schedule.”<br/><br/>As he walked away he thought to himself, good job explaining this one to your father, he went straight to his locker as Yoshi walked up to him with a concerned look on his face.<br/><br/>“What did Haruko want?” he asked as he opened his locker due to it being right next to Masaru’s very own.<br/><br/>“What Haruko always wants, to see me fidget and squirm,” Masaru sighed heavily as he opened his locker and began getting his books ready for the day and then he adds, “I wanted to wait to show you this but I guess I can’t really.”  He pulls out a small envelope from one of his books and hands it to Yoshi while saying, “You have been a very good friend to me Yoshi so I wanted to reward you.”<br/><br/>Yoshi slowly opened the envelope to see a lapel pin with Masaru’s family crest on it and is in shock as he tries to find the words to express what he is feeling, “I…umm..mean…Masaru…I…”<br/><br/>Masaru let’s out a small laugh, “It’s okay Yoshi you can accept it, I asked my father a long time before he left and he said it was okay to make you an honorary member of my family which means of course when I take over I want you by my side.”<br/><br/>“Of course,” he replied as he is overwhelmed by Masaru’s generous side, as he as known Masaru outside of school he knew he wasn’t just a goof ball but was also quite smart and generous to those close to him however little did he know he didn’t know Masaru’s deepest secret.
