A few moths have passed and I'm supposed to be a 2nd year from now on. I decided to go back to Rakuzan, I heard Shiro dropped out from the school. My name is cleared from those rumors, I can hang out with my friends more often and... I get to see Akashi everyday.
I still can't believe Tetsuya-kun and his team defeated Akashi. I am really grateful that they got him back.
"Ohayo Ai-chan!"
"Ohayo, Ai"
I looked behind me to see the new couple. Ryu and Hinami are officially a couple since last week. Ryu told me he almost died trying to tell her how he felt, he didn't want their friendship to end with a confession. But he was really happy to hear Hinami's yes.
"Hey, hey. Ants might start attacking me right now. Holding hands on the way to school?" I teased the two who were madly blushing behind me. "Geez, stop it Ai-chan!" Hinami-chan said out of embarrassment. "Then, I'll go ahead of you guys" I said and ran to our classroom. Yes, I am still an 'A', Hinami and Ryu too. I opened the door to see the person I've been dying to see. "Ohayo, Akashi" I greeted the redhead as I checked my seat from my seat plan.
"You're early" he said. "Well, I am always early in the first day" I said as I settled my things on my desk. "I would like to have a proposal, I hope you accept" he said and sat on the desk in front of me. "Proposal? What is it?" I asked. "You got pretty used to looking at me in the eye" Akashi smirked as he leaned closer to my face. "E-eh? Really?" I immediately blushed at his action. He laughed and backed away "You still lose everytime I do that" he said. "Geez, stop teasing me!" I pouted and he just patted my head. "I enjoy seeing you like that" he said and went back to his seat when he heard people coming.
"Oho~ The couple is alone in a classroom~" Ryu teased. He's making me pay for teasing the two of them, huh. "And another couple came to school together, huh?" I threw back.

I ate lunch with the senpais, Hinami, Ryu and Akashi in the gym. We sat on the floor like we were having a picnic.
"I wish Chihiro-senpai was here" I said and everybody agreed. I glanced at Akashi and he didn't look too good. Maybe I should ask him later.
*BUUUUUUUUUUURP* Here it comes! Nebuya-senpai's super long burp. "THAT IS SO FILTHY, EIKICHI! NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT IT, IT'S STILL NOT NORMAL TO BURP THAT LONG!" Reo-nee scolded. Oh, how I miss this.
"You look happy, Ai-chan" Hinami-chan said. "Yeah! I am really really happy that I'm back. When I was in Kaijo, all I could think about is how I miss you guys!" I said and everyone just smiled at me. "We missed you too Ai-chan!" Reo-nee said and we all went for a hug.

Akashi and I were on our way to the classroom when he pulled me towards an empty classroom. "A-akashi?" I spoke. He was pinning me to the wall and his face was a few inches away from mine. "Say my name" he said. "Huh?" I asked. I was not sure why he wanted me to say his name all of a sudden. "You call him 'Chihiro-senpai' he's not even your boyfriend, but I am your boyfriend right now." he said. Oh, he's jealous. Ohoho I'm so happy. But I feel uneasy why I say his name. "S-seijuro" I said, blushing hard. "I remember this. You can't say my name properly, you would blush, just like that" he said, smiling at me. "It's okay. Call me whatever you want." he leaned a bit closer for our foreheads to meet and pulled my wrist to leave the classroom.
"Seijuro!" I called him and he turned to me with eyes wide. "I'm taking you home" I told him. I could even hear him panting. He's sick =_____=
I decided to call Hinami-chan. *ring* *ring* I know the classes are already starting but I know sensei will understand.If you are thinking of what I'm thinking, yes, mom is not my teacher anymore.
"Hello Ai-chan? Where are you and Akashi-kun? Sensei was looking for you guys! Don't tell me you're ditching classes to have a date, are you?!" Hinami rained me with questions. "O-of course not! I'm bringing this guy home. Tell sensei that he's sick. I'm gonna go take care of him so I'll be absent" I said and ended the call still pulling Aka- I mean Seijuro behind me.

"Welcome back, Seijuro-sama" we reached his mansion. He just waved at the maids and led me to his room. I made him rest on his bed. I checked his temperature and I feels like you can fry something with his body. "You... should get back to class" He spoke weakly.
"Going and not going will not make any difference. I'll just end up not listening and worry for you. Just... Let me do this, Seijuro" I said and I can see his expression when I said his name. It was hard for me too but after seeing this, I don't mind saying it a thousand more times. "I'm gonna go cook something" I added and went out of his room.
I saw a maid in the kitchen and approach her. "Um. Can I use the kitchen?" I asked the maid. "Are you Seijuro-sama's girlfriend?" she asked happily. "Yes, I am" I replied. We started gathering the ingredients with the help of the maid. She was around 50 years old, and I think he was with Seijuro when he was young. "Seijuro never brings a woman in the mansion, Ayukawa-sama" the old lady said. "S-sama? Oh, ma'am you can just call me Ai" I told the old lady. She smiled at me sweetly "Then, call me Hilda-obasan. Please take care of Seijuro-sama, Ai-chan" Hilda-obasan said. I couldn't help but feel so happy. "That comes without saying, Hilda-obasan. I love him after all."
A few minutes later, we finished the porridge "You bring that upstairs to Seijuro-sama, I will clean this up" she said. I insisted on helping her but she said the food might get cold. So I made my way upstairs to see a sleeping Seijuro. He looks so cute when he's sleeping I couldn't help but smile. But then his eyes opened and it startled me. "G-gomen! Did I wake you?" I asked and he just shook his head.
"Hilda-obasan and I cooked this for you" I said, handing him the tray. "I can't eat by myself" he said, pretending to cough. I couldn't help but laugh. "You're just doing that so I would feed you, right?"
"I dunno, but would you?" he said looking at me with that playful smile of his. I cooled the porridge in the spoon and offered it to him until a bright idea came to me. "Here" I was about to feed him once more but instead I put the spoon inside my mouth instead, he smirked at me as if he knew I was going to do that and pulled me in for a kiss. He was sipping the porridge out of my mouth. I couldn't help but blush. It was too intense for me.
"You think you could defeat me in pranks even if I'm sick?" he said still with that annoying smile. I covered my face out of embarrassment but he took my hands away from my face "You look cute when you're flustered" he said and it made me blush more. I'm starting to think my face is already as red as his hair.
"Are you even sick?" I asked him and he just smirked. "Let's finish up your food" I said and feeding him again. "Awww.. I want you to feed me the way you did a while ago" he said like a begging child, trying to be cute but there is no way on Earth I am gonna do that again and I know he's just kidding.

I woke up around 6pm. I looke around my room and Ai was no longer there. Did she go home? Well, of course she would, it's already dark outside. She can't stay in a guy's house. I stood from my bed and saw Hilda-obasan. "Hilda-obasan. What time did Ai go home?" I asked her. "She did not go home Seijuro-sama. She's in the kitchen, cooking dinner. Her dad just came here to bring her clothes too so maybe she'll be staying for the night. I can't help but smile.
I walked to the kitchen to see Ai wearing a spaghetti top and shorts. "Hey Ai, what are you wearing? You're showing to much skin" I scolded. "Geez, It's just you Seijuro so it must be fine. Besides, I don't have anything else to wear, my dad brought this" she replied, still attending to her work.
[Ayukawa Ai's PoV]
Seijuro is just like mom. They scold me every minute of the day. But it just makes me feel loved. I was adoring the delicious smell of the curry I was cooking when I felt Seijuro behind me and his breath was hitting my nape. He made me face him and caged me in between his arms "Even if it is just me, I'm still a man, Ai. You don't stand a chance if I decide on assaulting you"
"I know Akashi Seijuro wouldn't hurt me" I don't know but I just spoke before I knew it. "But if it is what you want, then would you lend me some clothes?" I added the just smirked.

"You okay now?" I asked Seijuro who was sitting across me on the dining table. "Yeah. Thanks to you" he said and it actually made me blush. "W-well, you took care of me once" I replied.
*ding dong* *ding dong*
I heard the doorbell ring. Is it Seijuro's dad? A visitor? A maid approached us "It is your teammates, Seijuro-sama" she said. Seijuro just nodded and the gang came in.
"Sei-chan/Akashi/Ai-chan/Ai" everyone greeted. Their voices echoed all over the house and I just shushed them. "Come sit and have dinner. I cooked some curry." I said and they sat almost immediately.
"We heard that you were sick from Hinami-chan" Hayama-senpai said while I handed him a bowl. "It is so unusual for Akashi to be sick though. I was so surprised." Nebuya-senpai added and I made sure his bowl was bigger than the others. "Ai-chan you're so cute~" Reo-nee complimented and I immediately looked at Seijuro who wasn't really pleased. "As I thought. Go to my room and change" he commanded and I just laughed. "Then, lemme borrow some clothes!" I said and walked off upstairs to change.
