"There's gotta be one son in the house, me or him, there's no second, I can't live with this''
I randomly ranted out my worries in a sulking fit.
"Don't worry, you're the only son..I'm sure his daddy and yours doesn't mean the same''
Aoi replied while turning the steering.
"Whose side are you on woman?'' I tragically inquired.
"There's no sides, I'm just saying..isn't this okay? If he likes your dad, then why not? And if you're that uncomfortable with him just move in with me'' she shrugged.
"Na na na, there's something wrong with both, first of all..that guy is like only a few years older than me and my dad is almost 34 now, there's this huge generation gap plus the dude got a nasty attitude..second, if I move in with you it'll make it even easier for you to be a pervert and I want to stay virgin until marriage'' I sassily responded
"Is that cue that I should propose you?'' She asked.
"How did you even sum it up like that?'' I shook my head ''What I'm saying is, I don't want to be in a relationship until I'm done with college...like I can't get distracted, I have to first be a responsible adult then risk a family''
I obviously told some big words because I wasn't really that mature, I also want a relationship like everyone else....
It's just that I don't want to half heartedly respond to her feelings. Honestly she came so suddenly I almost feel like this is a dream and suddenly I'll wake up in bed, smiling at the joke of my life.
On top of it, i'm not even one of those pretty or handsome guys, just an average joe, I'm not confident if she would stay with me long enough. Perhaps she's doing this out of pity because she saved me that day on the bus? I slowly sunk back in the seat.
"You okay?'' She asked and I just nodded.
The car stopped infront of the school.
"Hey, I told you to let me off at distance!'' I lowered from the seat ''not infront of school gate, what if someone sees us?'' I panicked and she got off the car after parking and opened the gate for me.
"Come'' she held out her hand ''I'll show you..how I intend to hold your hand through thick and thin'' she said and reached in herself, pulling me out.
I nervously turned my head around to see all those that were facing us now.
She firmly held mine and locked her car before we walked into the campus holding hands. Everywhere we walked, heads turned and eyes full of envy, anger and hatred glared at me.
I nervously lowered my head but then noticed she was looking at me as well.
In a hall full of thousands of hateful gazes, this one gaze overpowered all, this gaze of full of affection.....

"Were you disappointed?'' Akio asked stacking dishes to wash.
"At what?'' Keitarou raised a brow slipping on his watch.
"My son...you didn't seem so happy about him'' Akio responded.
"Ah, it's not that..I was just surprised, I didn't literally think he was an adult..just my imagination, I thought he'd be a small child'' Keitarou cleared his throat trying to not make it too obvious that Natsuro's presence irritated him a bit
''also please don't wait up for me, I'll eat out today, I have dinner with some friend of mine so..''
"Okay sure'' Akio smiled getting to his work while Keitarou went ahead first, he got outside and then made a phone call.
"Hey..tonight at 8, yah..at the same restaurant, make sure no one sees you okay? Also bring 'that' with you as well''
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So is it a public thing now? Are you and Aoi san an item?'' A vaguely familiar person questioned me..
Oh wait, I think this guy's from my class, apologies.
"I have no comment on that'' I responded by closing my locker and locking it.
"Come on man, you don't have to be that bashful...just answer the question'' he said being rather bossy. I tried to leave but he blocked my way so I turned backwards but another guy stood in my way.
Ahhh gosh! Enough with people pinning me and cornering me.
"Answer the question man'' the irritating dude spoke again and I blew at a flick of hair, moving it off my forehead then turned kicking him right in the crotch only to be surprised that he was already beaten down and I had kicked Aoi san instead.
"OH MY GOODNESS! I'M SO SORRY! ARE YOU OKAY? ARE YOU HURT?" I immediately held her arm as she was leaning forward with a hand pressing to the hit area.
She didn't make a sound but her expression said enough about her being in pain. "I'll take you to infirmary!'' I said carrying her by her arm over my shoulder.
"How bad is it, it shouldn't hurt that much for a girl...or so I heard'' I nervously stuttered trying to wash off some of my guilt.
"I'm an alpha female, I have both male and female organs...'' she told shamelessly.
"Wait what...by male organs...do you mean...you have 'that' too?!'' I innocently questioned in surprise since I wasn't really familiar of how alpha female anatomy worked.
"Yeah I have 'that' too but with the intensity you kicked with I'm not so sure anymore'' she sarcastically said as I seated her on the bed of infirmary.
"Okay! Okay I'm sorry! I was going to kick him but how would I know you were there huh? Hear my side of story too...the kick wasn't meant for you! It was an accident!'' I explained myself.
"Ahh hush hush if you really do want to atone for it just hush and press on it..'' she said groaning.
"Wait why...why press, are you sure you're not taking advantage of the moment by making me touch it?'' I questioned her intentions, the air is evil but she groaned even louder
''OKAY OKAY! I'LL DO IT, CALM DOWN" I kind of yelled and then took my time slowly reaching and retrieving my hand.
''Are you sure sure sure you're in pain..shouldn't I get a hot or cold pack instead..like..'' I argued but then she groaned louder and I immediately put my hand where my situation required it to be.
Um...
Wow..
It's kind of...bi..g...uh...what the...
My face heated right up till the ears, she had a smug look on her face while she pretended to be in pain.
I knew it!
She was feigning it!
I retrieved my hand lowkey angered and lowkey sulking but when I turned to leave she pulled me by wrist onto herself and trapped me in her legs around my waist, hugging my chest.
"You're so cute'' she whispered.
"I'll really kick you there now, playing with a man's innocence, I'm suing you for harassment again, how many counts is this...lemme count on my fingers'' I started counting on my fingers.
She grabbed my hand and kissed the vein on my wrist ''make it ten now''
Ahhh Imma kill her!!

"Do you have the posters ready? Let's make him famous then'' Mari said speaking on the phone, Yuki walked besides her. She dropped the call and then unfastened her seat belt. "Let's go..'' she said.
"Um Mari sama, if you permit...can I go out tonight to visit an old acquaintance'' Yuki asked clutching on the steering.
"What acquaintance?'' Mari stopped right where she was, waiting quite attentively for the other's response.
"Um you wouldn't know him..he's one of my late father's old fellow'' she gulped answering.
Mari raised a brow ''you sure?''
Yuki gulped and nodded rapidly without making eye contact with her.
"Okay'' Mari got out of the car leaving Yuki in. Only after Mari was gone Yuki gasped out the breath she had been holding for so long and placed a hand on her chest calming her heart that was about to beat out of her ribcage at any moment.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh what, we're having dinner to ourselves today? Is he out?'' I asked after sitting at the dining table having had a long ass day full of pervs in which I'd like to give Aoi san the sage award of perverts.
"Oh yes, he said to go ahead and eat without him, he's going to have dinner with someone'' dad replied.
"Dinner with someone? What the?! Aren't you bothered?'' I was furious, like wasn't he aiming for my dad? Then why is he seeing others?
"Eh..why would I be bothered...you're so silly sometimes'' he replied.
Oh right! I forgot, its a one sided thing so it won't bother dad ofcourse...don't worry dad, I get you, these popular ass stalkers forcing their one sided feelings on us. So is she also seeing other people behind my back? what the...she better not dare..I need to stalk..I mean research not stalk, sorry autocorrect.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Yuki chan here!'' Keitarou waved his hand calling Yuki over his table. She seemed a little lost earlier but was relieved to see Keitarou and went to take a seat with him.
"Before we begin, I think I have something to tell you..something big is going to happen to Natsuro san tommorrow...'' Yuki immediately told him.
"Eh, take a breath...what is it?'' Keitarou poured her a glass of water.
"I am not sure about details but it has something to with Akio san, his father...'' she chugged down the water.
Keitarou immediately got alert ''wait what tell me!''
"I told you! I don't know, all I know is it has to do with Akio san's past...something about his past profession?'' Yuki said but then her heart sank when she heard her phone ring and it was Mari's call. "Keep quiet!'' She said to Keitarou picking the call after another glass of water.
"Where are you?'' Mari asked.
"Um Mari sama, I told you about it remember...meeting one of father's old fellows...'' her voice cracked a bit.
"Oh yeah..'old fellow'..okay, come home soon'' Mari said dropping the call.
Yuki took a deep breather. "What did she say?'' Keitarou asked.
"Just told me to come home soon..'' Yuki said.
"Okay...let's get back on topic...'' Keitarou called the waiter to make an order while they chat.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So much for 'old fellows'...'' Mari opened her phone camera and snapped a picture that framed both Keitarou and Yuki in a restaurant before leaving in her car at full speed
"...Lying wench....''
