Blushing Hikaru nodded and watched as the woman turned to walk away. Reaching out and taking the woman's left hand in hers she pulled, bringing the woman about and quickly planted a kiss on her lips. Blushing she stepped back and said "Good night Riku." before turning and departing to her dorm.
As she entered she quickly gathered her night things then made her way to the shower. Setting the water to her suiting, she stripped and stepped in, letting the warm water caress her skin. Grabbing her body sponge, she slowly lathered herself up and let the days troubles wash away. Not that there had really been any troubles. In fact she had found the day to be quite memorable. Grinning to herself she washed her long dark hair then rinsed and got out, wrapping herself in a towel then heading back to her room. Getting dressed she moved to her bed and slipped beneath the covers. A soft blush on her cheeks as night ridden thoughts assaulted her, she quickly drifted off.
Hikaru woke to the sound of someone approaching her bed. Rolling over, she looked up to see April's face lit with moonlight. "Hikaru?" she said softly. She was still dressed in the outfit Hikaru had seen her in during breakfast that morning. "April?" she said. The woman looked close to tears as she approached. Hikaru sat up and slid her feet off the bed. Patting it beside her, April simply ignored it.
"He's gone...." she said, her voice cracking slightly. For a moment Hikaru just stared at her friend confused. "Gone?" she asked as her friend began to silently sob.
"You mean Greg?"
April just nodded and sat down beside Hikaru. "His things are gone and everything. The professors say he just left. A letter was found on his desk in his writing saying he had chosen a different course to follow." The woman didn't attempt to hide her tears as she held herself tight and slowly began to rock back and forth. Hikaru had seen the couple several times throughout the past weeks and couldn't help but notice how happy they had been. She didn't understand why he would just up and leave without a word.
Slipping her arm around the woman, she simply held her. "Its okay." she said softly. "We will sort this all out first thing in the morning." She owed the woman at least that.....
