@shiruba_rein: Thanks.
@Sydney W: This is a Kojiyuu fanfic so it will happen.
@olive29: Oh, you're here. I didn't expect you.
@kiruchi: It will take few more chapters before Yuko sees Riku crossdressing.
@Chichay12: The world needs more RikuYuu!
@atsukojiyuu_C: Even I haven't gone too far from the manga. Actually there are many differences in the manga and drama. Don't worry because I just borrowed a little idea from Otomen like the father and Asuka's hobby + a little crossdressing.
@Archer1992: I'm trying hard to improve my sense of humor since I fail at it most of the times.
@yuuyu: You finally gave a comment.
I noticed your name at my OSs.
@chemicalstar: I will continue it and I hope you will have lots of holidays so that you can update yours.
Chapter 2*Yuko's POV* “Can you do a very very important favor for me?” Riku said. We are now inside a certain ice cream shop that is quite far from school. It’s been a month since we became friends but I never saw Riku cross dress before. He is probably shy. I am really curious to see what he looks like as a girl. I also noticed that whenever there is a crochet lying around when he is happy, he always ends up making ornaments or anything cute from it.
“That favor of yours sounds hard so.... No, I refuse.” I said as I continue to eat my ice cream.
“Please Yuko-chan. You are my only hope! I'll do anything you want for the whole year. I'll be your maid or something.” He grabbed my free hand.
“Why so desperate? What is your favor anyway?”
“Please be my girlfriend.” Riku said. I almost drop my ice cream.
“WHAT?!” People started to look at our direction because of my sudden outburst.
“Yuko-chan turn your voice down.” He said as he tried to calm me down.
“How can I- anyway what is that all about? Explain yourself.”
“I accidentally slip to my mom that I have a girlfriend and she wants to see her.” he explained slowly.
“Why me? There are a lot of girls out there who wants to be your girlfriend.” I started to feel irritated and took my hand away from him.
“Those girls will definitely cling on me and touch me with impure intentions and I know that whatever sweet I do to you you will not fall for me.” He said.
“I never had a boyfriend and I don't know how to act.” I tried to counterattack.
“You don't know how to act? You're lying. Atsuko and Kai showed me a video of a play you participated during middle school. And I have to say, your acting is better than the main characters.” He said and added a wink which made my heart beat faster.
'Is he trying to flirt with me?' would be the normal thoughts of a girl but knowing him. He is definitely not flirting.
“Please Yuko-chan it’s just for one day.” he held my hands again and this time he held it tighter.
“...... Ok.” I gave in to his request. Who can’t resist to those cute eyes and the fact that he is handsome doesn’t help at all.
“Really?! Thank you Yuko-chan you are a life saver!” He released my hands and sat beside me to give me a hug. I notice that we are receiving stares from the people again so I tried to break away from his hug.
“That's right! I'll help you so please let go of me. We are attracting attention.” I'm sure that I'm already blushing. Riku look around and finally notice the stare from the people. “Oh, sorry.” He said as he went back to his seat.
‘He doesn’t want a girl to touch him but if he touches a girl he’s fine.’“Yuko-chan, she will come on the next Sunday and if you want we can practice at my place.” This guy thinks it’s going to be easy? I admit I was sad when he believes that I won't fall for him. I not saying that I'm in love with him I mean it is just a crush. But still, it hurt a bit.
“Yuko-chan~ are you still there?”
“Ah. Yeah. Let's practice at your place this Sunday umm.. around 1 pm.”
“Okay.” He replied. We both continue to eat the melted ice cream.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Today is Sunday and I am now heading to Riku's place. *Sigh* This is going to be a long day.
“Yuko-chan you did came!” He looks really happy to see me.
“I don't take back my words easily.” I said as we headed to the living room. “By the way, how the hell did you slipped into telling your mother you have a girlfriend?” I asked while we were heading to his living room.
“Uh.. You know I came from Mendol Boys High right?” I nodded. Mendol High is very popular because the guys there are ikemen so it's a girl’s fantasy to be there. It is located in an isolated island and students are allowed to get out only during weekends, holidays and semester break.
“A guy was discovered that he is a gay and the students started to bully him. The bullying was more on physical. I can totally see how much painful it is for him to stay there everyday, enduring the pain. He can't also complain because the ones bullying him are the sons of the powerful people in business and politics. So I got afraid. What if they discover my hobby? Will I be able to handle the bullying? Before that could ever happen I decided to transfer giving Mom the alibi that I want to have a girlfriend that is near to me.” His voice was sad.
“Your mother just accepted that kind of reasoning?” I asked.
“Yeah, she does want me to get married early to assure that her business will have an heir.” So that's the kind of parent he have. The "everything is business" type
“So.. Let's get started?” He said, sat closer and stared at me. I suddenly became nervous.
“Okay... What should we do first?” I said as I also stare back at him. He held my hands. “Let's hold hands for the whole duration of our planning to get use to the feeling.” I agreed with him. He talked to me about the likes and dislikes of his mom. I've gotten a bit bored to the talk of what I should do. I want to move around so I suggested something to him.
“Ne Riku, let's kiss.” As expected his eyes widen.
“What are you talking about? Holding hands is enough. We don't need to be that lovey-dovey in front of Mom.” I can feel that he is getting nervous as I started to get closer to him.
“Yuko-chan you're kidding, right?” I lunged at him but I ended up kissing the armrest of the sofa. Tsk. He dodged it.
“You! Stay away from me!” He said as he started to run away from me. Of course I chase after him while sticking out my lips getting ready to kiss him anytime. After running around the living room he headed to the kitchen.
When he turned to the right at the working table he suddenly stopped running. I took this chance to grab him but he jumped away from me. After two more steps I stepped on something and slipped. I close my eyes to prepare myself from the pain but instead of colliding with the hard floor my body fell on something hard but definitely softer than the floor.
I open my eyes only to find out Riku broke my fall. I took this opportunity to kiss him. A bit grateful to him I decided to just kiss his cheeks and let my lips stay there for 5 seconds.
“……………….”
*Smack*
“Ouch! Hey! I just broke your fall and the reward I receive for that is a smack?” He frowned.
“Yup.” I said as I started to get up. “It's your fault why I slipped. Why didn't you throw that banana peel at the garbage?!” I said as I pointed to the banana lying near his foot. “I forgot.” He mumbled and got up too.
“Don't do that again.” He said and crossed his arms in his chest. “So this is how it feels to be raped.” Hearing his statement I smacked him again.
“Say something that would anger me and I will kiss you RIGHT AT YOUR LIPS, YOU UNDERSTAND.” He face was filled with fear. He doesn't want to get kissed by me that much? I unconsciously pouted. When I look back at Riku I noticed that he is staring at me.
“What?” Seems like he snapped out from whatever he was thinking. “N-nothing. By the way I am not yet finish talking about our 'pretending'. We need to choose what you'll wear too.” We went back to the living but with snacks and started to plan how we should act and some other necessary things.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
*Riku's POV*It's 10:45 am. I am waiting at the park to meet up with Yuko. Mom wanted to have lunch in the newly opened branch of her restaurant which happens to be the nearest to my place. We're supposed to be there at 12 noon but Yuko and I decided to meet up an hour earlier to prepare our minds. I snapped out from my thoughts as I spotted a familiar figure.
“You're always punctual Yuko-chan and I was right with the dress.” I said as I look at her from head to toe. “You look beautiful.” I ended.
“Thank you.” She's blushing. Yuko-chan is a bit tomboyish but can be unexpectedly cute. Like last week when she threatened me. She pouted and she was really cute.
*Click*
‘Hm? What was that?’ I look around to know where the sound came from but found nothing that can possibly make that noise.
“What's wrong?” She asked.
“Did you hear a click a just now?” She just gave me a confused look and said no. ‘It’s probably nothing.’
“Is that so... Do you still remember the Do's and Don'ts” We found a bench and sat there.
“Un. Always wear a small smile. No matter how insulting the words I receive from your Mom I should never talk back and keep my smile. And give my brightest smile only when your Mom started to brag about herself.”
“Good.” Actually Mom wants a girl who is not afraid to go against her and someone who doesn't get fazed with our richness. I told Yuko-chan the opposite because I don't want to drag her longer in this problem of mine. Just showing to Mom that I'm getting a girlfriend will relieve her mind.
The remaining time we have been spent on practicing close contact to make us look like a couple. I've become slightly comfortable when our faces are near. A little improvement. I just don't like it when a girl becomes too close physically especially those with impure desires, wants to eat me alive and too clingy. I want to puke and get myself away from those disgusting women. At least with Yuko-chan, I don't feel like I'm taken advantage.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
We are now standing in the restaurant with Mom facing us.
“Mom, my girlfriend, Oshima Yuko.” I smiled at her hiding my nervousness.
“Good afternoon.” Yuko smiled at Mom. “Good afternoon dear.” My Mom replied. After the greetings we sat down and ordered our food.
“Yuko-san, what do you like about Riku?” My mom asked. An expected question. Of course, we planned what Yuko would say.
“Riku is a bit cold but when he starts to open up with you, the warmth he emits is something that can throb your heart. He never makes you feel that you are alone. And also..” Hm? There's more? From what I remember those are supposed to be the only thing she would say of what she liked about me.
“He is kind to animals. On the first day of school I saw him feeding milk to a stray cat. Most guys nowadays would only ignore a stray cat. For me, guys who are kind to all living creatures have a good heart and will truly love you.” My heart was touched by what she said. Yuko's sincere eyes while she said that feels like she's not lying.
“Yuko...” She shifted her attention to me. “Hm?” She then tilted her head a little. 'Cute' I thought.
“Thank you.” I took her right hand and smiled sweetly. I'm sure with this Mom would somehow believe in our little act. Our sweet staring was interrupted by the waiter.
The lunch ended. It’s strange that Mom didn't brag in front of Yuko. I wonder why. This lunch is unexpectedly peaceful because Mom was quiet. Yuko talked the most because she talked about herself. Well Mom did ask her to about herself.
“It was nice talking to you Yuko-chan. See you next time.” My mom said. ‘Eh? There's a next one? Did she like her?’
“Same here Mrs. Kojima. It’s a pleasure talking to you.” Yuko said as she flashed her dimples smile. Mom also smiled. We bid goodbye to my Mom.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Yuko and I are back to the park. Both of us are riding the swing.
“You totally gave me a scary impression of your mother. She was very kind.” Yuko started.
“I don't know what happened to her. She was always harsh to the past girlfriends that I had introduced to her.” I'm telling the truth. I really wonder what happen to them.
“Oh, so I'm not the first one huh.” Her tone is quite grumpy. Is she mad?
“Un. You're the 4th actually. All of my so called 'girlfriends' sticks to me like super glue so we never last a week and I never even kiss them.” I said.
“You actually got the guts to ask those girls out.”
“It was very hard for me you know. I want to puke every time I'm near them. I'm forcing myself to those girls to please Mom.”
“Hm... Ne Riku, can you push my swing? I want to feel the wind more.” I obliged to her request and pushed her swing.
“They look so sweet” A girl said.
“That girl is sooo lucky. The guy is so handsome and a gentleman.” the other girl said.
“I am so jealous. I want a boyfriend like him too.” the first girl said.
'Geez, they talk so loud. Do they even know that I can hear them?' I ignored those girls and focused on pushing Yuko. 'She smells nice.'
“Ne Yuko, what shampoo are you using?”
“Why? Does my hair smell bad?”
“No. It smells good. I want to try it.”
“I'm not telling you or else we will end up having the same scent.”
“Stingy.” I stopped pushing her swing.
“Hmph.” She got off the swing. “Anyway, I want to go home.” She said.
“Okay but I will walk you home. I want to know where you live.”
“If you say so.” Yuko said. We keep talking about normal stuff until we reached her house.
“Thank you for the helping me Yuko.” I am very grateful to her.
“Why are you thanking me? This has a price remember. You promise that you will do anything I want.” She said with a hint of mischief.
“I know but still thank you.” I smiled from the bottom of my heart.
“……… You're welcome. See you tomorrow.” It took her awhile to say that...
“See you.” She waved at me and I waved back before she closed their door. I felt my phone vibrating.

Good aftey son. So far from the
girls you had introduced to me,
Yuko-chan is different. It seems
like it was right to transfer you to
a COED school. I hope you two last
long. I am looking forward to eat
with Yuko-chan again.
-------------------End---------------------

'So she likes her. Next time she will ask about Yuko I should tell her we broke up. Besides I only asked Yuko once to pretend and I feel like I'm not going to like what she will ask me to do.’
*End of Riku's POV*XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
*The next day*Yuko is peacefully making her way to the school gates. There are not many students arrived yet but somehow all of the students she cross path with are taking a glance at her. Reaching her destination, a classmate approached her and showed the newest issue of the weekly school newspaper to her face.
"Oshima, is this true?!" the classmate asked with a hint of desperation. Yuko on the other hand didn't know what to say.
