Chapter 4 - SHIELD

"This is Haru, my boyfriend"

"Boyfriend????!!! Who is this lowly creature?! I courted you for a full 8 months now." Before they got in, he saw this man waving at them but didn't really thought too highly of him and even disregarded him because of his ordinary clothes. Never in his wildest dreams that this was the girl who he was courting was taken by another man. "I don't believe it! If you two really are a couple then there's nothing wrong if you two kissed, right?" He didn't believe that Akatsuki found a boyfriend, instead she should have made the guy in front of him a shield.

"Damn, it all makes sense now. She wants to use me as a shield." Haru secretly thought. While thinking over things he saw Akatsuki whose face was red all over. Seeing this, he couldn't help but think she's cute. "Oh right, the fat guy here talks about kissing huh? WHAT?????? KISS? WITH HER?"

"Asahi, don't make trouble with us" Akatsuki said hurriedly.

"So you can't do it. Huh I thought you two really were a couple" he smiled wickedly.

On the other hand, Akatsuki is thinking about Haru not taking the initiative to start a kiss. "We got ourselves in a dire situation you know? Damn this guy, if you don't want to do it then i'll do it" Akatsuki thought while pulling Haru's face closer to her. Her heartbeat was beating crazily. Thump! Thump! Thump! As she was closer to his face, she closed her eyes and planted her lips onto his. Her face was flushed red, her heart was beating crazily and her feelings was in a mess. While they slowly got immeresed into the kiss, Asahi was staring fiercely on the side with killing intent from his eyes.

Haru closed his eyes and enjoyed the feeling. He can feel Akatsuki's soft lips which you can't get tired of. There seems to be a little sweetness in it too which will surely ignite the flames if your desire. While the two slowly sunk into the kiss, Akatsuki's friends made their way over and saw the whole scene. Their jaws dropped and couldn't believe if they were dreaming.

"Akatsuki, we're here," a girl shouted. When she heard it, she immediately let go of Haru who was still enjoying the feeling.

"What a great third-wheeler" Haru thought. If the girl would hear him, she would've fainted already. BECAUSE Akatsuki is her sister, they arranged a meeting between her and --- so the whole family came but didn't expect things to happen like this.

Without thinking, Akatsuki grabbed Haru's hand and started running frantically to the exit. Haru could feel her soft hands who were holding his. A indescribable feeling rose in his heart.

When they went out the exit, they ran as fast as they could and couldn't surppress their laughter. Snow seemed to be falling again. Haru then looked forward, he saw a hand touching his while they were running frantically while laughing their heart's out. It was a majestic scenery.

.....

A little bit past 6 pm.

At the park.

The two of them was just enjoying the scenery and find it was peaceful. They haven't talked until that "thing" happened. Haru was the one who broke the silence.

"Akatsuki-san it's getting pretty late, maybe I should walk you home?" Haru suggested.

"What?.. Oh.. ok" Akatsuki replied lost in thought. But Haru didn't mind him and just sat there casually.

....

20 minutes later.

"Let's go Haru" Akatsuki said.

"Where are we going Akatsuki-san?" Haru asked.

"My apartment, it's more quiet there" Akatsuki replied.

*Gulp*

"Ummm.... Akatsuki-san maybe i'll just go

ho...." But before he could finish his sentence he was cut off by Akatsuki.

"You don't want to go?" Akatsuki said while glaring at him.

"I'll go! of course i'll go"

....

While they were talking about going to Akatsuki's apartment; Haru's phone ranged.

"Haru, it's getting pretty late; you should head back home now."

"Mom, I can't. I'm sleeping on a Takamura's house today".

"Fine then, get back here early tomorrow "

"Got it Mom"

"Thanks.... for today" Akatsuki said in a low voice.

"No problem" Haru replied. "It's actually pretty late now huh" Haru added. He was clearly hinting to Akatsuki that he want to sleep at her apartment.

"Stay for the night then.
