Skipping past the beginning..it was time to go to school

"Rin,Yu-chan!"

Rindou and fuyu look back to see ran,rindou's older brother

Rindou grabbed ran by the collar as fuyu stood there clearly confused by the situation "Why are you calling her by that name?" Rindou asked as ran was satisfied with his reaction "You should call her by her name too" Ran said as rindou became silent "I can't!" Rindou suddenly punched ran as ran exclaimed "You're so shy!"

"Uhm..are you okay?" Fuyu asked as ran's cheek throbbed "It really hurts" Ran laughed "Thinking of it..you two get up early in the morning" Fuyu said "I'll get detention if i'm late" Ran said "So it's the same for..?" Fuyu pointed to rindou as ran chuckled "Maybe,he's going to school early so he could see you early" Ran teased but he was exactly right

"What's more,he's been matching your pace,ahh pitiful rin~" Ran laughed "This shy bastard is going to rip your hair out" Rindou said as fuyu went in between them and didn't notice the situation 'Rindou-kun is a gentleman' Fuyu thought as she wore a giddy smile on her face

Haitani-kun and i..together in the cafeteria

"There's someone sitting next to rindou-kun!" "She's lucky!" "Who is that?"

'Everyone can see us' Fuyu nervously stood in front of rindou as their friends were in a table far away from them

"That will not shake our friendship" Yamagishi said "I'm not so tactless to get in someone's path to romance!" Makoto exclaimed "You two are good guys" Ran said as he ate 'They're getting along' Fuyu sighed in relief

"Here" Rindou said catching fuyu's attention "Pudding..?" Fuyu took the pudding from rindou's hand "Is it really okay?" Fuyu asked as rindou nodded making fuyu excited "But..what about your portion?" Fuyu asked "I'm okay" Rindou replied "Oh! Let's go halfsies" Fuyu said "I said i'm fine,halfsies? are you a kid?" Rindou smiled as fuyu's mouth agaped and stared at him in awe

This is the first time i've seen him smile!

"Oh,Haitani-san"

"Ichinose.." Rindou's mood changed as soon as he saw fuyu,as one of fuyu's friends noticed blood on rindou's shirt "Oh,This isn't my blood" Rindou said "You're bleeding from the side of the mouth" Fuyu noticed

"I cut my tongue a little" Rindou said as fuyu bit the inside of her mouth and suddenly put her sleeve up to rindou's lip,a couple of seconds later she realized what was happening and pulled away "I'm Sorry!" Fuyu exclaimed as rindou stood still "Ahm..Haitani-kun?" Fuyu waved a hand in front of him but he didn't move a inch "What do i do now.." Fuyu panicked as fuyu's friends laughed at what was happening in front of them

"Ichinose!" Rindou called out as she turned her head to look at him "Haitani-kun?!" "Can you walk?"

"Ahh..no,it just hurts a little" Fuyu said as she leaned on the wall "I'll give you a piggy back ride" Rindou said as fuyu tensed up "It's fine,there's no reason to do that!" Fuyu nervously chuckled as she waved him away

"If you keep talking,i'll carry you home like a princess"

Rindou said making fuyu choke on her own saliva as she just agreed to get carried by rindou

'Their gazes are painful' Fuyu thought as people were staring at them,but who wouldn't? She got rindou haitani to give her a piggy back ride

"Uhm..aren't i heavy?" Fuyu asked as rindou chuckled "Not at all,you're really light" He replied "I'm sorry for this" Fuyu apologized "Don't worry,i'm doing this because i want to" Rindou shrugged "I think it's great that we're stuck like this,it's not annoying at all" Rindou said making fuyu blush

"That doesn't mean it's good that you got hurt" "It's okay,I understood!!"

"Excuse me..is rindou-kun here?" Fuyu asked one of rindou's classmates as they shook their head "I think he's on the roof" They told as fuyu nodded and ran to the staircase "What does that girl want with haitani-kun?" They muttered as the other classmates noticed as well

"That was the girl who ate lunch with haitani before,wasn't she?" "Huh?! Seriously?!" "I saw rindou-san piggy-backing her the other day!" "What the hell???" "Who even is that shrimp?"

Fuyu opened the door to the rooftop as she met rindou's eyes "Ah..haitani-san"

"Here,they're sweets from my mother's store,i wanted to thank you for the other day" Fuyu tried to give him a paper bag full of sweets but he refused "Don't worry about it" Rindou said "But-" "I did it because i wanted to"

Fuyu's eye twitched as she took a deep breath "Then this too,i'm doing this because i want to,i want to give this to you,so please don't worry about this" Fuyu said making rindou sigh in defeat "Since you prepared it,i'll take it" Rindou took the paper bag from fuyu's grasp

"Uhm..let me know if there's anything i can do for you" Fuyu said making rindou raise his brow "Anything?" "Y-Yes"

"Then,i have one request.."
