He grits his teeth. “I was fifteen.”

Takuma pushes himself up, nearly butting heads with Koushuu, and sits on his knees to look at Koushuu with an expression of pure curiosity. (Koushuu knows that isn’t innocent curiosity, he knows it’s the I-Am-Going-To-Get-Answers-Out-Of-You curious stare.)

“So you do admit you had them! Koushuu, please, please, tell me who Kuramochi-senpai was to you!”

Koushuu grimaces, resisting the urge to simply get up and walk out of their apartment to avoid this conversation. “…He was the brute good for nothing sidekick.”

Takuma giggles, actually giggles and it’s really cute, especially with the cheeky grin on his face— Koushuu mentally scolds himself for utterly being so in love with an idiot.

“Wait, wait, who was Haruichi-senpai then to you,” Takuma’s attempting to calm himself from laughter, ”in fact who were the Kominatos to you?”

“Innocent looking deceitful demons,” Koushuu responds bluntly.

It isn’t a lie and he doesn’t have to be embarrassed by it, practically everyone knows so it’s alright if he thought they were that too. Right?

Takuma’s clutching at his stomach and wheezing (How this boy was able to go from light chuckling to loss of breath within seconds was a mystery to Koushuu.), face red and glasses nearly falling off his face.

“How about Miyuki-senpai, Sawamura-senpai, Asada-kun, and Kanemaru-senpai?” Takuma stutters over his words, tearing up.

Koushuu takes a moment to actually understand who’s names he was saying, scowling upon hearing the name of the catcher. He debates just shutting his mouth now and ignoring Takuma, but the way Takuma looks like he’s seen something he’s lost for years just by his answers overtakes him and he answers anyways.

“Evil villain, manic pixie dream guy, someone who deserved better and all my pity went to him for being the only normal one.” Koushuu says as fast as he can in hopes Takuma doesn’t even understand his words so he doesn’t have to admit anything.

Takuma shoves his face into the couch pillow. The only thing Koushuu hears is muffled hysterical laughter.

“Who was I to you?”

Koushuu shrugs, “You didn’t really change much from what I thought you were. You’re still the sidekick I had who I eventually fell in love with.”

“You’ve been reading too much manga!” Takuma shoves his face into the pillow once again, this time face red for completely different reasons.

"Where did that even came from (name)..." He said, you could tell by his tone that he's actually hurt after hearing that.

You bury your face in the plushie that you were holding. Saying for reasons of such words that came out of your mouth even though it's muffled by the plushie, Ichiro could hear your voice clearly.

"You're stuck in my mind ichi.. When Im talking with my friends, your face pops up. When I'm trying to to study, your smile pops up in my head. When I'm just relax and not think of anything, YOUR stupidly handsome face comes up in my mind. It's getting out of hand. LIVING IN MY HEAD IS NOT RENT FREE YOU KNOW?!"

Ichiro's eyes widens before chuckling at how cute your little outburst there. He walks to you and hold your face so it's facing his.

"I guess i need to start paying the rent now then (name)?" he said teasingly, kissing your nose then releasing you. Waiting patiently for your reaction.

You, not expecting your boyfriend to do such things blushed. Tinges of red could be seen across your face as you spat out again.

"I HATE YOU!"

❥ he would just know it

❥ i mean like ain't he's like 'knowledgeable vampire'?

❥ he may or may not have business with your brother before-

"(name) darling whose that on your phone? Why aren't you answering?"

"Oh it's just the idiot of my brother. He's probably asking me to do something again... "

"You mean Ibara right? He's your older brother, it's not good to ignore him."

"W-what? How do you know? I never told you my last name or something..."

"Fufufu~ You can't hide anything from this old vampire darling~"

❥ he's surprised at the very least

❥ why you never told him before? Don't you trust him?

❥ how did he know about this?

❥ well...

Ibara: "Kaoru-senpai! Could you give this lunchbox to (name) ? They left so early that they forgot to take their own lunch... "

"(name)? Oh okay. But what are your relationship with them? Don't you know they're mine?"

Ibara: "Im just doing my big brother duties... And of course i know you're their boyfriend. They talk about you a lot. "

"Big brother? Oh~ This is new. I'll make sure to pass this to them~"

❥ cue to him bugging you to tell him why you never told him this before

❥ how he know was kinda funny. It was on your date and you guys came across ibara

Ibara:"Ah! My little sibling! What are you doing here with this wolf?"

"Ugh Ibara. First of all, he's my boyfriend. Second of all, it's none of your business. And third of of all, it should be me asking why are YOU here."

"Huh?! He's your brother?! Hey glasses! They're right why are you here?! "

Ibara:"woah woah calm down both of you. I just taking a walk is that illegal?"

"Well it's illegal cause you're interrupting us! "

Ibara : "okay okay. I'll leave you two alone. But (name) make sure you come back home before 7 pm"

"YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO"

❥ he would the most calmest of them all(well second to rei)

❥ like totally chill about it

❥ how he knows? Well he accidentally read your full name and notice your family name is 'Saegusa'

❥ he won't bug you to tell him why you never told him this. He respect your privacy. But he will ask you one time. Just one time.

"(name) may I ask something?"

"Yes donis? What is it?"

"Is your brother is any chance is Ibara? Saegusa Ibara?"

"!!..Yes he is.. How do you know?"

"I noticed your full name while arranging somw documents. Why you never told me? You don't need to tell me the reason if you're uncomfortable of telling it"

"It's nothing really..! I'm just don't wanna people know like..would I be bombarded by his fans if told them I'm his little sibling?"

"Oh don't worry. I'll never let anything happened to you okay?

────── ✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡*.｡✱ ──────

"Welcome how could I help you-" Akito's shut himself up when he noticed you're the one that entered the boutique. He stopped arranging clothes and walks up to you.

"(Name). What are you doing here?" He said with closed eyed smile but you know him well to notice that he's annoyed by his tone.

"Oh nothing, just want to visit my dear boyfriend. Maybe I could buy some clothes too. You don't want to be mad at customers right? Most importantly, that customer is your s/o" You said teasingly, knowing he'll felt so annoyed by now.

He sighed, knowing that it's no use being mad at you since you'll just continue teasing him either way. "Just don't try to do anything dumb okay?" "Okayyy"

And just like that you disappear to who knows what section of that store while Akito just watching you like an eagle watching it's prey. (In case you did anything)

Akito goes back to arrange the clothes but his eyes caught someone trying to hit on you. At first he just brush it off but when he glanced back and saw how uncomfortable you look. He decided to step in.

"Can't you see they're uncomfortable? Please leave before I report you." He said to the guy that was harassing flirting with you while standing in front of you. "What? It's not like you're their boyfriend or something buddy. Let me do my thing. And don't interrupt us." The guy tried to take your hand before it got slapped by Akito.

"Please leave this instant. I don't want to make a fuss in here. And yes. I'm their boyfriend so what?" Akito glared at the guy before pulling out of the boutique for some privacy. "Look I know you're trying to buy some clothes but please walk to your home now. It's not safe out here at this time okay? I'll walk you home."

"Wait wait wait. What about your work-" "That can wait. You're my priority. I'll text my manager later saying it's an emergency. She'll understand." Akito said, cutting you off while holding your hand and pulling you to your home.

'He's so cute when he cares..' You thinked while smiling to yourself.

Currently both of you were in his house doing your own things. Him with robots while you were just playing your phone on the couch. After a while you got bored and decided to look what Rui was working on.

It's a TsukaRobo. Huh. Did Tsukasa request a robot just like Nene too? Wonder why....

Your gaze changed to Rui. More specific,his face. The look of concentration and determination on his face is so cute. You thought to yourself.

This behavior of yours didn't go unnoticed by this cunning inventor. He noticed it but decided to let you indulged yourself for a while. He even decided to stick out his tounge a little.

After he finished modifying the robot, he said without averting his gaze from it, "Am I that beautiful til you can't take your pretty little eyes off me darling?" Those word caught you off guard and snapped you out of your trance.

As blush crept up to your face, you took nearby pillow on the couch and cover your face with it. "shut up you..." you mumbled making him chuckled in amusement.

"No worries darling, you could stare me all you want. I really don't mind it~"

Akito, your childhood friend, the guy that you have a crush on since high school. You don't know why but you keep blushing and fidgeting around him more often now.

Is it because you're nervous he's not going to like you back? Or is it something else? God knows.

He noticed how you started to get nervous around him to the point that you're even running away from him everytime he was gonna talk to you. Now you're making him overthinking.

Do you hate him? Why? Or did someone threaten you to not talk to him? His fangirls perhaps? You're making him frustrated and confused at the same time to the point he snapped at you one day.

Seeing you waving your friends goodbye, he pinned you the wall, completely trapping you so you can't get away from him again.

"What's up with you these days huh?" He grumbled at you. "W-what you mean kito? I didn't do anything wrong..."

He closed his face to yours. "Nothing wrong huh? Then why are you avoiding me? Do you hate me or something?" His face close to yours makes your face explodes to different shades of red.

"W-what are- you talking about..? I would never hate you akito....it's just.." You stuttered out with blush still covering your face.

"Just what-" "I like you okay?! I couldn't help but felt more nervous around you so I avoided you." You cutted his words making him stunt in his place. You like him? He snapped out of his thoughts and hugs you tightly, hiding his face in your shoulder.

"Idiot. Why wouldn't I like a person like you.."
