Chapter 3: Introduction

Saiki and Haruta were sitting on Haruta's bed, in awkward silence. Haruta was still clutching onto his plush and Saiki was taking a good look around Haruta's room, which was very similar to that of a geek.

There was a gaming setup in the corner of the room, the walls had anime, movie and gaming posters. There was a large bookcase filled with manga, comics and books from all over the place. There were also a few shelves filled with movies and a television opposite of the foot of Haruta's bed, which was filled with plushies of all sorts.

"... What are we going to do tomorrow at school? Teruhashi saw us kissing or you kissing me, she has probably told everyone in sight after she woke up" Haruta said, rubbing his face into his plush, feeling tired.

"She didn't, she's planning on stalking us and finding out if we're together, so we should make a plan or something" Saiki said also tired, today had turned out very unexpected.

"Yeah right, making a plan to avoid her and her stupid army of fans is as easy as making a realistic looking fake relationship" Haruta grumbled and it brought Saiki to an idea.

"We could fake one, because I know for a fact that she is currently at my house" Saiki said and without warning grabbed Haruta's hand and teleported them to an empty alleyway close to his house.

"Give a guy a warning when you do that!" Haruta said with annoyance. Saiki rolled his eyes and hand in hand the two walked to Saiki's house, after Haruta forced Saiki to bring his plush, which he had been holding, back to his room.

When the two reached Saiki's house, they noticed that Teruhashi was talking to who Haruta assumed was Saiki's mom. They were both laughing and getting along, causing Saiki to sigh.

He pulled Haruta along until they reached the two ladies. The two turned to them with broad smiles and Saiki could feel a headache coming up. 'Saiki, you can't avoid this... WHY THE HELL IS THE NEW KID HERE?!' Teruhashi thought in anger, her plan was now ruined in a way.

"Ku-chan! Teruhashi just told me that you were going on a date with a certain someone~" His mother, Kurumi, teased with a giggle. Teruhashi nodded excited and had a few giggles of her own.

"Oh you mean my date with Haruta, yeah we met a while ago online and met when we found out we went to the same school we decided to go out" Saiki said, forming a web of lies around everything. Saiki tried desperately not to hold his head in pain as Teruhashi screamed internally and his mother was having thoughts at 200 miles an hour.

"Um... Hi, I'm Haruta Aoki, Saiki's boyfriend" Haruta said, holding out his hand to Kurumi as greeting. Kurumi happily took Haruta's hand and invited him in, but Haruta refused.

"I have to go, we have school tomorrow after all, but I hope to take the offer next time" Haruta said apologelic, he then turned to Saiki and then pressed a kiss to Saiki's lips giving him a smile and then leaving.

Saiki watched him for a little, a very small, nearly unnoticeable blush on his cheeks. Teruhashi was still screaming internally and Kurumi was gushing excitedly.

"Ne, Saiki-kun, we could go on a dubble date!" Saiki straight up ignored Teruhashi and ran after Haruta, not wanting to deal with both her and his parents.

Haruta was nearly home, when his wrist was grabbed and suddenly he was on the pink beach of Harbour Island. Haruta groaned loudly, harboring a giant headache. Saiki looked at him, unamued.

"Why did you just kiss me?!" Saiki asked. Haruta glared at him and walked up to him.

"You said you wanted to fake one, so I just made it look realistic, didn't I?!" Haruta said, Saiki sighed realizing that Haruta was right.

"Okay, just don't do it so unexpectedly, think about it and we'll both put it in motion" Saiki said and Haruta nodded in agreement.

"Okay, now can you teleport me back, I wanna sleep and get back home. We have school tomorrow remember?" Haruta pointed out. Saiki looked a bit sheepish all of the sudden.

"I can only teleport every three minutes" Haruta seemed a bit disappointed in that, but decided to just admire the view for a little.

"I'm walking you to school tomorrow, Teruhashi is convinced that we're just pretending, so we really need to make it seem real" Saiki said and Haruta was a bit irritated at it.

"Sounds okay, I guess, but don't expect me to play the sweet little lover all the time and if I have an idea to make it seem real please play along" Haruta said and together they spend another hour on the beach making strategies.

"We should really get home now, I'm sure my parents will be home any second and I don't wanna get my ass whooped for getting home late" Haruta said and stood up, wiping away the sand on his pants.

Saiki took Haruta's hand and in the blink of an eye, the two of them were standing in Haruta's bedroom and right at that point they heard the front door open.

"Haru-chan! We're home!" Haruta could hear his mother yelling. Looking at Saiki, he said bye and ran downstairs. Saiki turned invisible, wanting to observe Haruta's now slightly less ordinary life.

"Hi Mama! Hi Papa!" Haruta greeted giving his mom a hug and his dad a headbutt. He and his dad went to the living room and watched tv, while talking about his dad's work and school. His mom was in the kitchen cooking curry.

Saiki loved it, it was so ordinary. He just watched how the small family operated, how Haruta's dad was sitting on the couch watching tv, while having a beer, how Haruta's mother asked Haruta to set the table and how Haruta gently carried the plates and cutlery to the table.

'Saiki... Are you watching me?' Saiki's eyes widen at the sound of Haruta's thought. Haruta was looking a bit stiff and a bit scared, Saiki sighed in his head. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

"Yeah, I am. Sorry I was just curious" Saiki said and Haruta went to continue setting the table.

'You could join us... I'm sure we have enough curry for a fourth person' Haruta said, a small embarrassed blush on his cheeks. Saiki gulped a little. Haruta didn't hear anything after that, except for his mom and dad making a small talk... And a knock on the door. Haruta looked at his parents and offered to open the door.

Haruta opened the door and there stood Saiki, dressed in normal clothing. Haruta snorted at the somehow uncomfortable look on Saiki's face and gently grabbed Saiki's hand pulling him inside.

'We should keep up the fake relationship thing, so I'm introducing you to them as my boyfriend, oki?'

"Sure... This is really turning into a web of lies"

'This is really your fault, y'know?'

"Point taken"
