A/N: I made this chapter light to relieve myself at Yuko's announcement.

Chapter 3Today Riku invited Yuko out to treat her for the hard work they had been doing at school. He was waiting for Yuko at a certain waiting shed near Yuko's house. While waiting for Yuko, Riku felt that someone is watching him. Just to make sure he is right he acted like he is anxiously waiting for someone, looking at his watch from time to time while scanning the area. At the same time a truck with an aluminum body passed by. The image reflected by the truck was not in high definition but it was enough for Riku to see that there are 2 girls hiding beside the vending machine and the other one at the tree.
'Tsk. The face of one girl looks familiar probably my fangirl.' Riku immediately emailed Yuko of what he saw. Both don't have a choice but to act rabu-rabu again even if this day is supposed to be a hangout of friends.
Yuko arrived shortly after reading Riku’s message. Seeing Riku’s frown, Yuko tiptoed slowly making sure Riku won't feel or see her. She covered Riku's eyes with her hands.
“Guess who~” Yuko said playfully.
“Eh? Hmm... Etou.. Who are you?” Riku acted dumb so Yuko removed her hands from Riku's eyes and slapped his right arm.
“Aw!” Riku said dramatically and faced a pouting Yuko with her arms crossed.
“Oh Honey! It’s you.” Riku said. He was about to hug Yuko but she avoided it. "Honey I was just joking. Your voice is permanently saved in my mind and especially in my heart."
“Hmph.” Yuko looked away pretending to be mad. Riku successfully hugged Yuko this time from her back and kissed her cheeks.
“I'm sorry I was just kidding.” Riku said while trying to make Yuko face him and was kissing Yuko's face except her lips. Riku noticed that Yuko is blushing.
'She must be still shy.' He thought. The two smirked when they felt an intimidating aura emitting from the vending machine. Getting used to the dating and doing what couples do. Being intimate in front of others is something they are not embarrassed of doing anymore.
“Fine. I forgive you this time but don't do it again.”
“I promise. Let's go.” The two held hands and chatted happily which made the intimidating aura grew worse.
“By the way, your acting is getting better, Yuu-chan.” Riku whispered. Yuko only smiled back.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The two arrived in the theater and decided to watch a romantic comedy film. Yuko is waiting near to the entrance of the movie they will watch because Riku said he'll buy the tickets and food by himself. Wishing that Riku would arrive sooner because she noticed a guy has been staring at her since she stayed there. Yuko started to get nervous as the guy heads his way to her.
“Hi. You've been standing there for 15 minutes. Did your boyfriend ditch you? Want to come with me instead?” The guy said. “Oh! I'm Taketatsu Kyosuke by the way.” He added while extending his arm for a handshake. Yuko ignored his hand.
“My boyfriend will be here soon so I don't need your company.” Yuko replied coldly. But the guy was unaffected.
“Why so cold Miss? I was just being friendly.” Mario said.
“Yuu-chan I'm sorry for being late. The line for the food was dragged by an old couple who can't decide what to eat.” Riku said while giving Yuko's drinks and food. “Taketatsu?” Riku said when he noticed the figure beside him.
“Kojima, this is your girlfriend?”
“Yeah. Oshima Yuko. Yuu-chan he is a classmate from my previous school, Taketatsu Kyosuke.”
“Is that so.. Riku the movie will start soon. Let's go.” Yuko locked her arms with Riku showing the way to the entrance of the movie they will watch.
Fortunately for them the stalkers from that morning were not able to get inside the cinema. They probably didn't bring much money. They sat in the middle part of the cinema. Yuko felt that she is being watched again. Just to be sure she looked around and found Riku's former classmate stealing glances at them.
“What's wrong?” Riku asked.
“Your friend is here.”
“Just ignore him.”
“His look is really annoying you know.”
Hearing that, Riku wrap his arm in Yuko's shoulder and made her head lean on his chest.
“Just focus on watching the movie or do you want me to kiss you on the lips to distract you.” Riku said. Yuko rolled her eyes.
“This is coming from the guy who ran away from me like I'm a monster when I tried to kiss him.”
“I'm a lot more comfortable to you now so I'm sure I can kiss you this time.”
“Yeah, right.” Yuko said completely not believing Riku's words. Riku moved closer to Yuko and the two watched the whole movie in that position.
*After the Watching the Movie*“Hahaha! The girl is so funny.” Yuko said.
“Yeah! I don't think any normal person would sparkly clean the whole office of the company she's working at midnight till dawn just because her boyfriend broke up with her.”
“And her expression while cleaning is priceless!”
“Ah. That was a fun movie.” Riku said. Both are starting to calm down. “It's still 3pm. Want to go somewhere?”
“Hmm... Well.. It’s been quite a while since I went to the arcade.” Yuko said.
“Okay! Arcade it is. Let's go!”
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
*At the Arcade*“Hey, it’s Kai.” Yuko pointed to a certain someone playing Initial D.
“Yo Kai, why are you alone?” Yuko asked.
“Eh?! Yuko? And Riku? Ah! Woah. That was close. I almost crash.” Kai said. After a few seconds Kai finished the game.
“Guys, what's up?” Kai asked
“Are you alone?” Riku asked.
“Yeah... Are you two on a date?”
“Un.” Riku and Yuko replied at the same time.
“I see.. Must be nice.” Kai looked so sad.
“Where is Acchan?” This time Yuko asked.
“She got student council stuff to do. Some meeting about financial.”
“Financial?”
“For the school festival I think... That's what I heard from her.” Kai's cellphone suddenly rang.
“It’s Atsuko!” Kai's happiness was very evident and the 'couple' can't help but think Kai looks like a child who just received a present.
“*clears throat* Moshi moshi... Really?! You're free tomorrow!.......Okay.... Got it! Bye~” Kai excitedly answered.
“Uwah! Too bright.” Yuko said and pretended to protect her eyes from Kai's glow.
“Hehe. I got a date with her tomorrow. I got to go guys. I need to prepare.” Kai said and immediately vanished from their eyes.
“It's amazing how Atsuko can affect Kai.” Riku said.
“That's what love can do to you Honey.” Yuko approached the Silent Hill shooting game.
“Let's play.” Yuko smiled at Riku.
Riku smirked. “I won't lose to you.”
The two played almost all the games in the arcade center. Yuko won mostly in their matches. They were having so much fun but the fan girls that were stalking them earlier were back. Yuko didn’t mind them but Riku was slightly uncomfortable.
Yuko finally knew what was really bothering Riku when she noticed that Riku has been staring at a certain UFO catcher.
‘It has cute squirrel plushies… He wants to get one for himself but his fan girls will see it.’ Yuko deduced.
“Ne Riku! Get a squirrel for me from that UFO catcher!” Yuko dragged the clueless Riku to the catcher. Riku was unaware of Yuko’s actions and just obliged to his girlfriend’s request.
Riku got the plushy and handed it to Yuko. “Thanks.” Yuko said and hugged the small squirrel.
“That’s all?” Riku said feeling unsatisfied to the way Yuko expressed her gratitude.
“What do you mean?” The clueless Yuko asked.
“Don’t I get a reward?” Riku said.
“Like what?” Yuko asked.
“I don’t know. Something.” Riku went closer to Yuko until there was only 3 inches gap of their faces. “Like a kiss.” That made Yuko’s face turned to the reddest shade. Despite Yuko feeling embarrassed to Riku’s statement, she still kissed him but only in the cheek.
“That’s not what I was expecting.” Riku pouted.
“You asked for a kiss and I gave it.”
“But I want it to be on my lips!” Riku whined.
‘Riku please don’t make those girls kill me.’ Yuko thought when she felt Goosebumps from the intense glares that were stabbing her that came from Riku’s stalkers.
“We are at a public place and it’s embarrassing because there are too many people here.” Yuko said shyly.
“Fine. I won’t force but promise to me that you will kiss me later.”
“Okay, I promise.” Riku’s stalkers were more fueled up hearing that.
*After half an hour*“Yuu-chan I ran out of coins.”
“Me too.” Yuko replied.
“Let's go.” Riku said and held Yuko’s free hand. The stalkers seemed to have something to do because they finally stopped stalking and left the couple. While walking, the conversation of the two suddenly shifted to love.
*Yuko's POV*“Yuu-chan, have you ever fallen in love?” I was surprised when he threw that question to me. Love huh... I admit at first I had a crush on him but spending too much time with him I think I started to like him more.
“......No. Why?”
“Are you sure? It took you quite a while to respond.”
“Okay fine. I'm not sure its love. But I definitely like him.”
“I am in the way, right? You can't confess to him because the school believes we're dating.”
'Riku you had no idea how happy I am to date you even if it’s fake.' I thought.
“Don't worry about that.”
'It’s you.' “When the chance comes that we can break up I will help you get him.”
'Ouch. This just confirms that Riku only thinks of me as a friend.'“But for now, enjoy dating me okay.” Riku said and held my hand tighter. I can only nod in response because I feel that my face is heating up. It’s because he do things like this I started to like him even more. He is too good at acting as a boyfriend. We never let go of our hands until we reached my house.
“Today was really fun. Thanks for the treat and here.” I smiled gratefully to him and handed the squirrel plushy.
“Are you giving that to me?” Riku asked me.
“Yeah.” I said as I kept my smile.
“Why?” I was confused at what he said.
“You were looking at it a lot before you caught it. You must have wanted to get it.”
“I do want it for myself at first but seeing you hugged this cutie…” Riku gave the squirrel back to me. “I was thinking about how that squirrel resembles you and that it suits you more. It looks like you two will get along.”
“Oh. Thank you.” So it’s for me. Riku should really stop doing things that would make me feel that I’m special to him. Also, he called the plushie ‘cutie’ and it resembles me. Does that mean he thinks I’m cute?
“No problem.” He has been staring at me for a while.
“Is there something on my face?”
“No. Nothing.” He wants to say something to me but he is stopping himself. To make him say what's on his mind I also stare back at him without saying anything.
“What?” He is asking me this time.
“Nothing.” I replied back. I am determined to know what's on his mind right now.
“You should go inside already its getting darker.” I can see that he is trying to avoid so I intensify my stare.
“You're really not giving up.”
“No.” He sighed. Looks like my staring is working since he is giving up.
“Close your eyes.” I raised my eyebrow at him.
“And you'll run away?”
“No. You can hold me if you want.” That's weird. What is he planning?
“Never mind.” I heard him saying that. I froze as I felt something warm on my lips. Riku is kissing me! The kiss did not last long. Just when I felt his lips he pulled back right away.
“I'm sorry I suddenly got the urge to kiss you and besides… you promised.” I didn’t say anything and was still shock of what he did.
“Yuu-chan?” He looked at me worriedly. “Please don't get mad at me.”
“That was my first kiss...” As soon as I said that guilt spread on Riku's face.
“I'm really sorry. You can slap me if that makes you feel better. Oh god, I'm so selfish. I shoul-“
I kissed him this time. And this kiss lasted longer than the first one. He was stiff at first but relaxed after a while. Shortly after that I pulled away.
“You talk too much.” I said.
'Kawaii! He's blushing.' I thought.
“I'm not mad. I was just surprised. And.. I'm actually glad my first kiss with you.” I gave him my best smile.
“I'm glad my first is with you too.” He smiled back. We were exchanging glances until someone interrupted our cute moment.
“Ahem!” Somebody is right behind us. We turned our eyes to the person who disturbed us.
“Da-dad?!” Why is he here early?! He usually goes home around 10 pm! This is bad.
“Who is this guy Yuko?” My father asked in an emotionless tone while eyeing at Riku.
“He is Kojima Riku.” I'm really nervous right now. I don't know what I should say. Is Riku a friend or boyfriend? Should I lie or not?
“Good evening sir.” Riku bowed.
“What is your relationship with my daughter?” Straight forward as always. Riku, what will your answer be?
“I am you daughter’s boyfriend.” He said it! My father's face became stern.
“I see. Why don't you join dinner with us tonight?” Riku please say no.
“It’s a pleasure.” What?!
We went inside the house and my father started to cook for dinner. Both of us are waiting at the living room watching TV.
“Why did you lie?” I asked him.
“He caught us being sweet at each other, of course he won't believe that I am not a suitor or a boyfriend.”
“But still...” I tried to think of something to counter him.
“Besides if ever your father went to our school and ask around he will know that we're 'dating'. His impression of me will become bad. Things are better this way.” I didn't respond anymore and went to the kitchen to help my father.
“Time flew so fast.” I looked at my father. “My daughter is already at the age of having a boyfriend.”
“Dad, are you happy for me?”
“Yes although I'm a bit sad but the feeling of happiness is stronger.”
“You scared me back then. I thought you would kill Riku.”
“I will kill him if he hurt you.” I giggled.
“Don't worry. He is a very nice guy.” I assured him.
“Hm. We will see later if he deserves you.”
Dinner came, Riku and Dad talked a lot. Surprisingly they get along well. Dad's uneasiness must have been removed by now.
“Come here sometimes for a visit Riku-kun. Just make sure I'm here and not alone with Yuko.” Dad said as he is saying his goodbye to Riku.
“No sex yet. You kids understand?” I stepped on my father foot from the embarrassment. Riku is blushing too.
“Dad!”
“Ow.. I'm serious dear.”
“I know but don't say it so bluntly like that!”
“Ahem! Anyway, see you around boy.” Dad said and finally left us.
“Sorry about that.” I'm still embarrassed from what Dad said. Geez, that old man.
“Nah, it's okay. It's normal for a father to be protective to their child.”
“You're right.”
“See you on Monday. Don't miss me too much Honey.” I rolled my eyes.
“In your dreams.” What a lie. I will definitely miss him.
“Bye. *chu*” He sent me a flying kiss and went away. That guy is always successful in making my heart beat faster.
