The next day at school, Riku manages to corner Aya during afternoon recess in an empty hallway.
"Senpai." Riku calls out to her in a deep, sinister tone while slams his palm to the wall next to Aya's head, preventing Aya to escape. "Senpai, i've dealt with the girls who did bad things to you. We can hangout again like before." Riku says with a quickly switched tone from sinister to cheerful tone and his puppy eyes are out again to lure her.
Aya looks at Riku with raised eyebrow. "What did you do to them?"
Riku chuckles while flashing a charming smile around his rosy cheeks for Aya. "Just warned them. I didn't do anything harmful to them. I'm serious, Senpai. You forbid me to so I listened to you." Riku's fingers slowly tracing from Aya's temple to her chin, making her shivers from his touch.
Aya blushes from his words as he looks away to avoid his gaze. "You didn't need to do that. They were just having a crush on you."
Riku's eyes darken. His cheerful tone quickly changed back into a sinister one. "I don't care about them. I care about you, Senpai. I also believe that bullying is not morally right so i had to stop them. Was that so wrong of me?" Riku holds her chin to turns her face back to facing him.
"It's not wrong, but-"
"No buts, Senpai. I did what i think was right and i stopped them without harming them at all. Isn't that what's matter the most?" Riku cuts her words as he puts down his hands back to his side and his tone changed into a pleading one.
"Well... i appreciate it, then." Aya lets out a defeated sigh while nodding at Riku. Riku's face quickly lighten up in relief and joy, he lets out his puppy eyes again.
"That's good to hear. That means, we can hangout again, right? Please, Senpai? Pretty please...?" Riku's puppy eyes being combined with his pleading tone to being used against Aya to lure her back. Riku knows it can make Aya melts and she instantly melts to him. Aya smiles and nods again at Riku while blushing again.
"Alright... We can hangout again, i guess." Aya answers in a faint voice. It makes Riku so happy, but not for other people who lurk in the shadows with their fists clenched tightly, look like ready to destroy some school's property but they hold back. The empty hallway not so entirely empty after all.
After school, Aya already left so quick with Riku to go to another hangout spots they haven't explored together.
"We have to kill him."
"No, Naoki. Calm down." Hirofumi quickly responds to Naoki's words.
"We can always come up with a plan." Tetsu adds.
"Riku isn't the first person to approaches her anyway." Ryu adds.
Naoki quickly glares at Ryu. "No shit. But he's the most persistent one so far. And i want Aya to experience the worst. I don't care what any of you saying. I'll come up with a plan to make her completely forget about anybody but US! And I'll expect a thank you from you guys once the results showing up right in front of your eyes." Naoki stands up and grabs his backpack. He then exits the Student Council President Room with a hard slam when closing the door. Leaving the premises in frustration.
"I hope he won't come up with a plan that's too harsh for her." Ryu says.
"I trust whatever is his decision, even if it's traumatizing her. He knows the one that brings great results." Hirofumi answers. Ryu and Tetsu nods at Hirofumi's words.
"You're right." Ryu and Tetsu says.
"But for now, we need to build a plan for Riku instead. We'll leave the plan for Aya to Naoki." Hirofumi adds.
They all stand up and gathering around the table as Hirofumi puts down an archive of students onto the table. They learn about the friends of Riku, family of Riku, all Riku's background.
After learning for a good 30 minutes, they look at each other.
"I'm starting to think that Naoki's plan isn't so bad. We can always do like what we did in junior high school with the kid that we... kind of accidentally pushed to the river." Tetsu suddenly speaks his mind in a nonchalant tone.
"Let's not do that again. That's a bad habit to have." Hirofumi quickly responds.
"I'm just saying." Tetsu shrugs his shoulders.
Crazy talk around them inside the Student Council President Room while Aya having the time of her life with Riku. They're walking around the streets with colorful ice cream on their hands from Riku's treat.
"How's your ice cream, Senpai?" Riku asks.
"It's good! Tastes like bubblegum for real!" Aya continues to lick her ice cream with a wide smile on his face. Not knowing the way she eats the ice cream is quite messy, there's a spot of her ice cream on the corner of her mouth. Riku quickly plants his lips there to suck on the ice cream into her mouth that leaves Aya gasps in shock.
"Ak!" Aya freezes in place while Riku chuckles.
"What's wrong, Senpai? Did i surprise you that much? We almost kissed!" Riku wipes the corner of her mouth to clean it completely with his thumb and then pull back his thumb to his mouth to lick it slowly.
"Riku!" Aya yells at Riku with a heavy blush across her cheeks.
"You're so cute, Senpai...! I managed to make you so embarassed!" Riku laughs softly that makes Aya pout. She tries to shove her ice cream to Riku's face, but Riku manages to dodge her attempt.
Intead, he shoves his ice cream to Aya's face and it got to her lips. Now her lips filled with his ice cream and Aya freezes once again.
"Got you! Hahahaha!" Riku laughs at her shocked face. Aya's face about to get steamingly red but Riku manages to calm her down by wiping her lips with his thumb and then licks his thumb clean from the ice cream.
"You're so adorable, Senpai. I like you so much." Riku says with a husky voice all of a sudden. Causing Aya's heartbeat increasing significantly.
