Ok, so I’m basically a newbie with this whole fic-writing stuff, up until now I’d been a silent reader, but as time went by, I felt the need to write something of my own. I’ve read a ton of good stories, and it somehow got me inspired, so this is why I have finally decided to start my own. Since my OTP happens to be Atsumina (or in this case KaixAcchan), I’m focusing my story on them, though I haven’t decided if I’m going to include other pairings. With that said, feel free to give suggestions, or comments about this, with your opinions I’d be able to improve my writing skills whilst entertaining you and why not, even give you some fan service. As for the time being, enjoy this little chapter/teaser.
By the way, this story is going to be developed mostly in flashbacks, but it’ll also include some present-day scenes. Also, feel free to ask me anything you don’t understand.

Chapter 11
(On the works... maybe)
*Present day, Kai POV*
Nee, do you remember those days we used to spend together? We used to go for a walk to the park in which we met every now and then; sometimes we watched movies all day long; maybe even went to dinner,; it didn’t matter, as long as I was with you, I was content. I’m never gonna forget them, because they’re precious to me. I can honestly tell you I was the happiest man in the world when you were by my side. Even if it was for a short period of time, I’ll always treasure the time you and I spent together…
*Flashback, a few years back*
I remember I was chillin’ in the park; I went out for a walk, since I’d been studying all day long. I had the worst headache ever, and needed some fresh air to help me relax a little. I bought myself an ice cream, vanilla, I think… Or was it chocolate? Well, nevermind. I was sitting on a bench, placed underneath a tree, so the sun wouldn’t melt my ice cream, when I suddenly started reflecting about my current situation: school, friends, family; life in general. I realized I wasn’t content with it, there was something missing.
*Present day (PD for short)*
“It was you; I just didn’t know it at that time…” I say while reminiscing how my old self used to think.
*Flashback*
I was kinda immature back then; I lived to defy my parents’ authority. Still, I worried about school and my grades, if they went low, my future might’ve been compromised; I couldn’t let that happen all because of my childish prerogative.
Then suddenly it hit me; maybe I needed someone to make me company. I was used to being alone, but I admit sometimes I lingered for someone to be by my side, and to listen for what I had to say. With that set in mind, I finished up my ice cream, and decided to give a walk around the whole park, who knows; maybe I could find something or even someone interesting enough.
While walking, I saw a few cute girls, but I figured their beauty was proportional to their lack of brains, and I must say dumb girls have never been my type. Suddenly, someone caught my attention; she was astonishingly beautiful, and judging by the book she was holding in her hands while reading, she could be everything but dumb.
“Why not try talking to her? I have nothing to lose.” I figured. I cautiously approached to the bench on which she was sitting, trying to avoid startling her and being misunderstood to be a creep or something like that. Besides, she looked so into that book that I felt rude to just suddenly interrupt her.
Luckily, I had my smartphone on my shirt’s pocket, so I could just casually sit on the same bench, while pretending to text someone, then I’d put my plan into action. “Will this work?” I thought.
After a couple of minutes, I “discretely” turned around to see her, only to notice that she was still focused reading her book. I gathered some courage, since it’d been a while since I talked to such a pretty girl…
“That’s quite an interesting book for a girl to be reading…” I muttered; my shyness was evident.
“Oh, really? I read these types of books all the time, you see, I like classic writers.” She responded without taking her eyes off her book.
“Wow, really? I like reading classic books too. I think writers nowadays just ‘write’ about random stuff, which are not even worth publishing.” I answer, a little surprised about her comment.
“I know, right?” she said while suddenly closing her book, now looking directly at me. “Finally I found someone who doesn’t think Twilight is the best book ever written!” she said laughing a little.
“Who will think something like that is true? Well, without counting the teenagers who had read it” I said while smiling, she smiled back at me.
“I’m Maeda Atsuko, nice to meet you.” She said while extending her hand towards me.
“Takahashi Kai, nice to meet you too. Wait, Atsuko… That’s Japanese, right?” I said, shaking hands with her.
“Exactly, I’m an exchange student from Japan; I’ll be staying here in New York for about a year. But wait, Takahashi is also Japanese…” she said, kinda confused; I supposed it’s due to my blond hair.
“Actually, my father is Japanese, but my mother is American; you know, he has always had something for blondes, so yeah, here I am…” I say, a little embarrassed for my [failed] attempt at being funny.
“Well, that explains a lot” she said while chuckling, something unexpected, since I thought I had blown it with my lame ‘joke’.
“So, Maeda-san, would you feel more comfortable if we spoke in Japanese? I have no problem with it.” I said, noticing she had been struggling a few times while conversing about classic writers.
“That would be better, but… can you do it?” she said while giving a little smirk.
“Yeah, don’t worry, my father took me to classes during my childhood, and I’ve been to Japan a few times before …” I answered while smiling confidently.
*switch to Japanese lol*
“Very well then, Takahashi-san” she said, I could notice she felt a lot more comfortable than before.
“So, I know this might be sudden but, would you like to grab a cup of coffee with me? I know a nice place near here.” I asked, again in a shy way. “By the way, if you don’t have any money, don’t worry, it’ll be my pleasure to invite you.”
“You had me at ‘Let me pay for you’…” she responded, with a little chuckle. “Nah, don’t worry, I’d feel bad if I made you pay for everything” she said, drawing a beautiful smile on her face.
“Well then, let’s get going” I said, trying to figure the fastest way to get there from where we were sitting down.
In a few minutes we arrived at this café; it was a kinda hidden place, a small coffee shop surrounded by some of the tallest buildings in the world doesn’t really stand out that much, which made it perfect to go have a relaxing afternoon, read, draw, or chat with your friends. I discovered this place a few years ago; I was a regular costumer, so with time the owner and I became good friends.
It looked like a normal business place from the outside, but once you got inside, it changed completely. My new friend realized this, and looked astonished. I reacted the same way the first time I came here; it’s like entering into a whole new world. This is one of the main reasons as to why I keep coming back here; now I’ve found someone with whom I could share this “meeting place”, and honestly that didn’t sound half bad.
“This place is amazing” she muttered in a low voice, though I was still able to listen to her.
“I know, right? It’s like we entered into another world” I whispered, to try and imitate her low voice; “That’s why I love this place” I told her.
“How did you find a place as awesome as this? Especially in such a big city as New York” she inquired curiously.
“That’s a secret” I said winking at her while giving a smirk.
“Well then don’t tell me, besides it’s not like I wanted to know” she said, pretending to be mad at me.
“You’re such a tsundere lol” was the only thing I could say.
“I-I’m not a….” she couldn’t finish, since she was blushing like crazy.
“I’m just kidding, let’s order and then I’ll tell you” I said while guiding her to my favorite table in the whole place, which was located on the second floor.
“Wait, why are we going upstairs?” she suddenly asked.
“Trust me, it’s gonna be worth the steps we’re climbing” I responded.
When we reached the second floor, there was my favorite spot, from which you could manage to see the park we walked from, and also, the sun which was starting to set. She realized the magnificent and relaxing view we had and proceeded to sit doing opposite myself.
“It really was worth the climb, the view is just beautiful and relaxing” she said.
“Told ya” I just answered. “What do you want to order?” I asked.
“Hmm, what would you recommend me, since you’re the expert?” she asked playfully.
“Well, I always order what Boss recommends me….” I answered sheepishly.
“Who’s Boss?” she questioned.
“Ah, that’s right, I haven’t told you; I’m actually good friends with the owner, I call him Boss” I said.
“I see, well then, bring me what Boss recommends you” she said, making fun of me.
“Fine, then I’ll be right back” I answered before I went downstairs to order.
A few minutes later, I went back upstairs, carrying along a couple of cappuccinos; Boss right behind me, since he was anxious to meet my “girlfriend” as he referred to Maeda-san, even though I had firmly stated that we were just friends.
Maeda-san looked at me and smiled, but then stopped as she saw that I was being followed by an older man. I introduced her and Boss; they chatted for a bit about the place, etc, and then he left. After that we went back to our conversation, we discussed about the authors we liked, the booked we’ve read, and stuff like that.
Before we realized, the sun had set, and stars covered the sky; we had talked for hours, even though they seemed like minutes for us. It was kinda late for a girl to go around the city on her own, so I offered to accompany her to her place, just to make sure she arrived safely. We paid the bill and left the café.
Her place was in the opposite direction of the café, we had to cross the park once again to reach the apartment complex on which she lived.
“I’m sorry for making you walk along with me” she said, a little embarrassed.
“Don’t worry, it’s my pleasure, I wouldn’t want anything happening to my new friend” I said while smiling at her.
“Thanks, you’re such a gentleman…” she said, and then muttered something I didn’t understand.
“Uhm, Maeda-san…” I managed to say, my face getting red in the process.
“Yes, Takahashi-san?” she answered; “What’s up?”
“I-I was wondering…. I-If…. C-Could you give me your phone number?!” I asked, raising my voice on the last part.
“Hmm, yeah, but with one, no, two conditions…” she said; “One, you have to call me Atsuko, and two, you have to kiss me…” she said naughtily, “… In the cheek, of course” she added, to my relief.
“Man, we’ve just met and you’re already teasing me” I said with a pout.
“Those are my two conditions” she stated firmly. “Do you agree with them?” she finally asked.
“Fine Ma- err- Atsuko-san…” I responded feeling defeated. After that, I kissed her cheek; she had a very soft skin.
“Well done Takahashi-san… hmm something doesn’t seem right…” she said, realizing something.
“Maybe it’s that you still call me ‘Takahashi-san’, while you’ve asked me to call you ‘Atsuko-san’, somehow it doesn’t seem fair…” I said.
“You’re right, how rude of me! So, eh… may I call you ‘Kai-kun’?” she asked sheepishly, I noticed her face blush a little.
“No”, I said while pouting, waiting for her reaction.
“EHH, why?!” she asked, with a confused tone.
“Just kidding, you can call me whatever you like, except Midget or I’ll get mad at you” I warned her.
“Fine, then Kai-kun…” she continued “since you agreed on my terms, now it’s time for your reward” she said while extending her hand, holding a piece of paper.
“I’m glad we could reach a deal, it’s been a pleasure making business with you” I said, jokingly.
“Mou, you’re an idiot…” she said, chuckling “I hadn’t had so much fun as I did today with you” she said, and before I noticed, she kissed the corner of my lips. I thought she was just messing around, so I didn’t mind it.
“Thank you for today Kai-kun” she said; “Goodnight, be safe” she said before heading inside the apartment building.
*PD*
That was one of the best days in my life, the day I got to meet you. Tell me, do you still remember it?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*EDIT* JUST TO BE CLEAR, THEY DIDN'T KISS, I MEAN THEY BARELY DID, BUT FOR ME IT DOESN'T COUNT (but if your shipper heart tells you it counts, vere well then...)

--------------------------------------------------------------------
CHAPTER 2
*PD*
Things seemed to be running smoothly for us; we became good friends in a short period of time, and I couldn’t be happier…
*Flashback*
Two weeks after I met Ma-err-Atsuko-san, I discovered something shocking. We had been texting each other almost every day, we usually talked about random things, but we both enjoyed it. Then, on Sunday night, she told me something I’ll always remember…
“Nee, Kai-kun, do you know Columbia (the university)?” she texted.
“Yeah, it’s the oldest university in NYC, and also one of the most prestigious in the whole country… Why?” I texted back, confused about the sudden question.
“Remember I told you I’m an exchange student? Well, I’ll be attending Columbia as of tomorrow” she replied, using a few smileys after the text. I couldn’t help but chuckle while thinking she’s just like a little girl because she uses so much smileys, and then it hit me, she’s Japanese [lol sorry, I had to]…. But more importantly, SHE’S ATTENDING COLUMBIA?!
“Are you serious? Wow, then you must be really smart!” I couldn’t hide my shock.
“I’m not exactly a genius, but I’m definitely not dumb” she once again replied, I could imagine her confidently smirking.
“Still, that’s just amazing, entering Columbia is quite hard, not to even mention you’re an exchange student… Oh, Maeda-sama, I’ve finally found someone who can explain me what I don’t understand~” I wrote, while laughing at myself for that last part.
“Mou, you’re just my friend because I’m smart!” she replied, pretending to be offended by my last comment, I saw her pouting inside my head.
“Of course not, you’re pretty as well” I sent without thinking twice about what I had just written. I reread my message, and cursed myself for being so careless.
A few minutes passed, before my phone made a sound and a message on the screen appeared. It was from her. “Maybe I can still fix this” I thought.
“Do you really think so?” she had written; I figured her face was kind of red, mine certainly was… If we were talking in person, she‘d have stuttered for sure.
“Of course, I don’t have ugly friends…” I texted along with a smiley, trying to lighten the awkward atmosphere I had caused.
“Mou, idiot… I was just about to say that you’re not half-bad either, but you totally ruined it” she instantly replied.
“I’m sorry, it’s just everything turned so serious all of a sudden, and I felt kinda awkward…” I wrote, trying to excuse myself.
“Don’t worry, it’s not like you declared your love or anything, you just said the evident” again, she added a [winking] smiley. I could totally picture her smirking while writing this, this girl surely irradiates self-confidence.
“Well, your assumption about me wasn’t totally mistaken, THIS face could surely get one or two girls… I replied, sending an attachment with a photo of myself doing a funny face.
“Now that’s what you call a handsome young man…” she texted back, playing along.
“Well thank you, all the credit goes to my parents for making me this handsome” I once again texted jokingly.
“Congratulate them on my behalf haha”, after that she sent another text, this time a little more serious “So… since you know Columbia, could you tell me how to get there? You see, the day we met was my third day in the city; actually, the Director gave me permission to skip school for two weeks since my arrival to get used to NYC: learn how to move around, know where I can buy what I need for the apartment, etc… but since I’ve also been kinda busy getting all the books and school stuff I’m going to need while I live here, I still haven’t had time to figure out how to get there from my apartment…”
“Being a tsundere isn’t enough, you’re also the distracted kinda type of girl” I smiled, “I’m also a college student, but I wouldn’t mind skipping classes tomorrow if it’s to help a good friend of mine; I’ll be glad to show you all the way to Columbia”.
“Really Kai-kun?! Thank you so much, you’re my savior” she replied, and I could sense some playfulness in her text.
“You’re welcome. By the way, you should be sleeping already, tomorrow’s kind of an important day for you, I mean…” I typed, a little concerned about her.
“Yes mom, I was actually about to go to sleep, but a certain someone decided to text me this late at night. You know, I need to get my beauty sleep as well…” she texted back.
“If I recall correctly, you were the one who texted me first… But ok, blame it on me, I don’t care; if I happen to oversleep tomorrow morning, it’s gonna be your fault. By the way, I don’t think you need beauty sleep, you’re already pretty” I finalized my text and sent it.
“You’re right! Now I feel dumb; please, wake up on time, I’m sorry for making you stay up so late at night. And thanks, Kai-kun, you’re not half bad either…. Goodnight.” That was the last text I received from her that night, and before I realized it, I had already fallen asleep; a smile was drawn on my face.
The next morning, I woke up right on time; luckily I had set my alarm before falling asleep the night before. Unluckily for me, I set it about 2 hours before the time I was supposed to, hence the darkness out of my window, but I figured I could use this extra 2 hours to do something productive, instead of just procrastinating until the time to go pick up Ma-err-Atsuko-san arrived.
I took a shower and got dressed, it only took me about 30 minutes to get ready; I left my penthouse and went to the 7 eleven that was a few blocks away from there. I bought a NYC map, to avoid any situation that could make Ma-err-Atsuko-san and I be late for her first day in Columbia. I also bought an American coffee, and some crackers; I figured I could grab a bite while trying to find a simple, fast and cheap way to get to the famous university from her apartment, or at least, a near location.
After some thinking, and having discarded getting there by cab -since it’d be too expensive-, I concluded the fastest way (and also the cheapest) was to get there by riding the subway. The only disadvantage was that we must have to change stations every now and then, but aside from that, there wasn’t anything else to be worried about.
Finally the clock indicated there were around 30 minutes left to go to Ma-err-Atsuko-san’s place; “I just can’t help it, I’m still not completely used to calling her ‘Atsuko-san’…” this thought circled my mind on my way to her apartment. When I finally arrived, I made my way into the lobby -it wasn’t the best place ever, but it didn’t seem that bad either-, I asked for Atsuko Maeda’s apartment, and told them I was a friend of hers, to get access.
They didn’t quite believe me, NYC was filled with creeps, so it didn’t surprise me that much; I asked them to call her in order to set things, which they did. After confirming what I had stated, one of the ladies that were there was kind enough to accompany me to the sixth floor, door 408; she then left without saying a word.
“Maeda-san” I raised my voice a little while I knocked the door.
“I’m coming! Please wait a second” she shouted from the inside. I stood there for about 5 minutes before I heard the door click open.
“I’m sorry, actually, this is a little embarrassing but, I kinda overslept… If it weren’t for the phone call I received from the lobby, I would still be sound asleep” she said while blushing.
“Don’t worry; I’m sorry for getting here at the exact time we agreed on, it’s just my parents, especially my father, have always told me to arrive at least 5 minutes before any appointment I have” I told her. “It’s better being early than being late” Father would always say.
“Don’t worry, again, I’m deeply sorry for making you wait” she apologized while stepping away from the door, “please, come in; I’m gonna take a quick shower and get ready, it won’t take more than 20 minutes, so make yourself at home while I’m done” she said while heading to what I suppose was her bedroom.
“Ok” I responded in a shy way, since it was my first time inside a girl’s apartment; I didn’t want anything being out of place or in the worst case broken because of my clumsiness, so I tried to move as cautiously as I could. I gave a tour around the living room; she had 2 bookshelves mostly filled with classic literature, though there were also some photos of her and her family and/or friends placed there.
I was instantly attracted to a photo of her and her parents alongside the Tokyo Tower; I had been to Japan a couple of times, and every time I’d been there I went to Tokyo Tower. I just loved the overall view of Tokyo at night, it was very beautiful, and watching all the illuminated buildings somehow relaxed me. “Next time I go to Tokyo I’ll have someone to accompany me” I thought.
*Flashback -within the flashback-*
Actually, we hadn’t seen each other since a few days days ago; I had been busy with school, and she had things to do as well. That café we had been to on the day we first met was now our meeting place. Last time we saw each other we also went there, and we spent the whole afternoon talking just like the previous time; by the time we were done catching up (because honestly, seeing each other is by far better than just texting) it was already dark outside.
“I’m having a déjà vu” I muttered.
“I know, right?” she responded with a chuckle.
“Would you mind me accompanying you to your apartment like last time? I just couldn’t go home knowing I let you return all by yourself Ma-err-Atsuko-san…” I said.
“Mou Kai-kun! When are you going to get used to call me ‘Atsuko-san’?” she said, kinda frustrated.
“I’m sorry, I’ll try my best to get used to it as soon as possible…” I answered shyly.
“Ok, but if you keep making the same mistake, I’ll get mad and will call you ‘Midget’ until you get it right” she said, a grin drawn on her face.
“Seems fair, A-Atsuko-san” I tried sounding cool, but my shyness overtook me.
Once we paid, we left; we walked through the park, and within a few minutes, we had reached our destination. Neither of us wanted to part, but it was late already; I had to wake up early to go to college the next morning, so there was nothing I could do to stay longer.
“Thanks again for accompanying me, Kai-kun” she said shyly, her face was a little red.
“I’ve told you already, I don’t mind at all; actually, it’s a pleasure to escort such a beautiful lady” I said teasingly, she noticed it.
“He, now who’s the one teasing me?” she replied, she said, also trying to tease me.
“Teasing? What’s that? I’m just telling the truth, or are you saying you’re not pretty?” I retorted.
“Nice one, Kai-kun. You win, so forget what I’ve said” she responded; I had defeated her in her own teasing game, that was quite an accomplishment for me.
“You know I’m just kidding, and well, c-complimenting you…” shyness suddenly took over me.
“As always such a gentleman” she said.
“Stop it, you’re making me blush” I said.
“Sorry” she chuckled, “well, before it gets even later, I’ll be heading to my apartment, and you should do the same, Kai-kun; goodnight” she said while starting to walk towards the lobby.
“Goodnight, Atsuko-san” I said; I wouldn’t have minded staying a little longer, but if she was sleepy then it’d be better to let her go to sleep.
*PD*
“That’s when I realized I’d do anything for your well-being, even if it wasn’t entirely good for me” I say out loud without noticing; I was lost within my thoughts once again. The melancholic memories from my youth.
END
Just kidding lol, this is just getting started.
------------------------------------------------------------
PS: Forgive me for some of my lame jokes (ex. the one on the previous paragraph, and also the ones within the story), I kinda feel like Takamina and her fail stories now lol. I also think I should warn you; this story might or might not have a sad ending…. It’s kinda based on a true story (not mine, though), so I’m still not sure if I’m making an exact adaptation or just loosely base this story on it. Anyways, thanks for your comments and please continue reading it. If you liked it recommend it to your friends, and if you hated it then recommend it to your enemies…

Hello again! It’s been about a week since I posted chapter 2… At first I was determined to update the fic every 3 days, but just last week I’ve started my final exams, and because I have to study, I haven’t been able to keep writing the next chapters. Though I still have exams to present until next Monday, they are the “easy ones”, so that means I don’t have to spend the whole day studying, which is why I’m finally able to start writing chapter 3 today. Excuse my grammar, I've just finished writing this a few minutes ago, and I didn't bother rereading to check if I had written something wrong or anything. :bow:
--------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 3
*PD*
As time went by, I just wanted to get to know you even more; I’d never felt that way before for anybody, man, you had surely changed me.
*Flashback*
About two weeks had passed since I accompanied Atsuko-san (her threat was effective, since that day, I was able to call her by her name), after that, we’d both been super busy, leaving us barely any free time to meet at the café, maybe 2 or 3 times since that day. Ah, how I longed for Christmas holidays to arrive sooner!! I didn’t know why, but I felt like I had to see her or I’d just go crazy, “what’s happening with me?” I constantly thought.
One night, while I was having dinner at home, I received a mail :
“Yo Midget! Are you still alive? You’ve been kinda lost this past few weeks, I was starting to think you've been kidnapped or something like that…”
“Ugh, it’s that crazy girl again, Oshima Yuko” I thought, getting uncomfortable
“Don’t worry, I’ve just been a little busy with school” I replied, because I didn’t want to be rude and ignore her.
“Oh, so you weren’t kidnapped after all…. Well, it’s good to know you’re ok; by the way, we should meet, it’s been quite a while since we went on a date” she finished her text with a winking smiley.
“What the hell is wrong with her? We’ve never been on a date…” I thought, a little annoyed by her previous comment.
*Something you should know…*
First of all, let me tell you a few things about her; after this, you might understand why she annoys me so much, though it’s not like I hate her, or anything.
Oshima Yuko; she’s the daughter of one of the richest men in the US (and probably the whole world); her father also happens to be my father’s best friend as well as his business associate, which is why I’ve known him as Uncle Oshima since I was a little boy. Our fathers have known each other since they both started their respective enterprises back in Japan. When my father decided to transfer his business to the US, he told Uncle Oshima about it, and he agreed. Even though he had just gotten married a few months ago and now his wife was pregnant with Yuko, besides he didn’t even speak proper English, he didn’t hesitate on accepting my father’s offer, which was kind of expected, since he’s known for being the random and impulsive kind of man.
But getting back to Yuko, she’s about 3 years older than me, which is why she’s always been kind of a big sister to me (or at least that’s how I’ve always thought of her). Our parents used to joke about arranging a marriage between us, but I think Yuko was the one who actually took it seriously. Until this day, she sometimes brings out the topic, even after I’ve told her numerous times she’s like a sister to me, and only that; yes, I love her, but not in a romantic way. That’s one of the reasons I now find her a little annoying, being as insistent as ever.
But anyways, her being an only daughter hasn’t helped that much either; Uncle Oshima has spoiled her before she was even born. He bought one of the best properties in the area, and also baby stuff from the best and most exclusive brands you could think of. When she was born, as my father has told me, she had an exclusive room for herself, and even a maid! Luckily, Aunt Oshima has always had enough common sense to know when it’s been too much; though that hasn’t been useful, since Uncle Oshima has always given “his Princess” everything she asks for, hence Yuko’s brat-like personality, never accepting a “no” for an answer, even when sometimes it’s just impossible saying “yes”.
Now, at her almost 24 years of age, she still sometimes acts as a child, until she’s given what she wants. This is why she keeps insisting with the arranged marriage thing, even though she’s been told infinite times it was just a joke. She says her insistence is due to the fact that she loves me, but knowing her, as soon as she gets what she wants, she gets bored and asks for something else; which is why I don’t actually think she’s really in love with me. “Maybe she just wants to protect me?” I sometimes reflect.
Ah, before I forget, she calls me Midget (which is the reason why I don’t like people calling me that), though she’s not exactly what I would call a “giant”, she’s barely an inch or two taller than me… Pretty much all of my traumas and complexes have been caused by her; she used to be (and still kinda is) a hyperactive kind of girl.
*Back to the flashback*
“Yuko, I’ve told you countless times to stop pretending we’re dating… 'cause we’re not.” I send it, hoping she’d stop this virtual harassment I’ve never quite gotten used to. I mean, I can deal with her clinging on me every now and then, but texting me out of the blue just to tell me she loves me still creeps the hell out of me....
“Mou, Kai-chan, don’t say that, I’ve already told you that I love you, I want to be with you forever” a sad smiley following the statement.
“Yeah, and I’ve also told you before that you might just be confused, you should try dating one of the many guys who have previously declared their love to you, some of them in the most romantic and original ways I’ve ever seen…”
“But I don’t want them, I WANT YOU” she replied without delay, “Here she goes again…” I just say reluctantly inside my head.
“Yuko, please stop it, understand me when I tell you that you’ll always be like a sister to me, I love you dearly, but not in the way you long me to…” I finally reply.
“Mou, you’re such a gentleman, even when you’re rejecting a girl… the person who happens to steal your heart will be a very lucky one” she finally said.
After that, I was sure she’d leave me alone for a while, but I was wrong; things were going to get a lot worse than before...
*The next day*
“Hi, Kai-kun. It’s been a while” I received a text from the girl who had been on my mind for a while now.
“Oh, hello Atsuko-san, long time no see…” I included a smiley with my reply.
“I know! Somehow I’m on the mood for one of Boss’s recommendations, and I was wondering if you happened to be free… Care to join me?” I sensed some shyness in her words.
“Ah, what a pity, I’m super busy today…” I jokingly replied, I was in the mood for some teasing.
“Oh, really? Well, then I’ll ask my classmate, Robert is he’s free…” she wrote
“Who’s this ‘Robert’ guy? I’ve never heard of him, could it be…” my chest ached for a moment.
“Who’s Robert?” I sent.
“Like I told you, he’s my classmate from Columbia… I think he likes me, and I kind of like him too” she answered.
“Oh…” I suddenly became a little sad.
After a few minutes, she finally sent another text....
“Omg Kai-kun I was just kidding! Yes, he is my classmate, but I don’t even talk to him… Gotcha!” a lot of smileys were included in the message.
“God, Atsuko! You scared me...” I sent, not noticing I forgot the ‘-san’ after her name.
“Why would me liking someone scare you?” she questioned.
“Eh, did I say ‘scare’?! I meant ‘surprised’…” I replied, blushing a little because of my mistake.
“Yeah well, you also forgot the ‘-san’ after my name…” she replied, was she teasing me?
“I-I did?! I’m tremendously sorry! Forgive me for being so irrespectful” I sent her, totally embarrassed.
“Haha, don’t worry, it’s no biggie Kai-kun, or should I start calling you just ‘Kai’?” she teased.
“Mou, Atsuko-san, I already said I’m sorry… please continue calling me ‘Kai-kun’, it’s kind of embarrassing to be called Kai by someone who isn’t my family…”
“Does that mean that you’re embarrassed of being my friend?” she sent followed by a sad smiley, though I wonder if that still counts as a smiley....
“N-not at all!! That’s not what I meant… It’s just, until this day, nobody except for my parents and Yuko call me ‘Kai’, everyone else calls me by my last name....” again, I didn’t reread what I had just written…
“Kai-kun, who’s Yuko?” CRAP. I had once again screwed up, “she’s totally going to misunderstand this…”
“S-she’s my sister…” I wasn’t completely lying, I just didn’t mention the whole “sibling relationship” detail about us…
“Oh, ok. For a moment I thought you had a girlfriend or something, but that’s very unlikely haha…” again teasing me? "Doesn’t she get tired of messing with me?"
“Hey… what’s that supposed to mean?” I added a pouting smiley.
“Well, to be honest, you don’t look like the type of guy who has THAT much experience in love matters…”
“Are you serious? Just look at me, I’m practically a Don Juan, and without even trying” I wrote, followed by a winking smiley.
“Yeah, Kai-kun, and I’m actually a supermodel” she included a smiley sticking its tongue out.
“Just now, that kinda hurt my feelings, you know… I’ll go cry in a corner if you need me” I sent just being dramatic.
“Oh god, aren’t you a drama queen? Haha, I’ll give you a paperbag next time we see each other” she just loved making fun of me.
“Yes, please… Speaking of which, didn’t you say you wanted to go out? I was actually kidding, I’m totally free today.”
“Yeah, I knew as soon as I read your text, if you are careless enough to skip classes just to go to Columbia with me, I figured you wouldn’t be THAT busy in school…”
“So that’s why you mentioned that Robert guy, eh?” I know understood.
“Yes, it’s just so much fun teasing you!” I realized she might actually be a mean person, lol.
“Well, since that matter’s settled, do you still want to go to the café?”
“Sure, only if it’s your treat, and I’m serious… you see, I already spent this month’s allowance… I have to wait until next week for my parents to send me next month’s.”
“But of course, that’s the least I could do” I replied confidently.
“Very well then, see you there at 4:30pm” she finally sent.
I rushed to get some clean clothes since it was already 3:45pm, and I still had to take a shower; though I wonder if she’d be able to be ready before the deadline she herself had set… I couldn’t help but laugh a little, that girl is just amusing. “Aren’t you sure there’s more than just ‘amusing’? She’s practically your dream girl” it was as if my brain and I were having a conversation about Atsuko-san…
Yes, she’s everything I’ve ever dreamed for in a girl, but I just couldn’t risk ruining it all by confessing my feelings to her, I preferred being just friends instead of losing her because of an impulse. Besides, I was pretty sure she just saw me as a really good friend, and that wasn’t going to change anytime soon…
While thinking that I took a shower, got dressed and after half an hour I was ready for our “date”; somehow thinking of that word made me blush… “Stop it Kai, you’re just friends” I told myself. “A friendly date, that’s it” I said out loud.
While walking out of the building in which my penthouse was located, I failed to notice a certain someone had followed me as soon as she saw me walking down the street. By the time I reached the café, I saw Atsuko-san coming from inside the park, so I waited until she crossed the street to enter alongside her.
Boss saw the both of us, and smiled. “Go upstairs, and I’ll get you today’s special, you lovebirds”, I couldn’t help getting a little shy after his comment, but Atsuko-san didn’t seem to care as much as I did.
After us, a small girl entered the café, it was her first time there, so no wonder she got stunned at the sudden psychedelic view of its interior. She then saw us going upstairs, and followed the path we had taken. She realized it would be suspicious not buying anything, so she ordered a Frappucino and then went upstairs.
There, she saw Atsuko-san and I sitting on our usual spot, so she sat two tables away from us, to be able to listen to our conversation; it didn’t even cross my mind that the girl that had just arrived was someone I knew, since I hadn’t brought any of my friends here before.
Meanwhile Atsuko-san and I talked as we usually did every time we went there, completely ignoring the world around us, she then suddenly started teasing me, something completely normal for me now… Then she made a comment which made me blush, and while she was laughing, the girl that arrived after we did stood from her seat and went to where we were sitting.
“May I help-….” I couldn’t finish the sentence; what was SHE doing there?! “Oh, god, why do you hate me so much?” I thought.
“Hello Kai” the small figure said, her voice sounded a little mad, for some reason.
“Do you know her, Kai-kun?” Atsuko-san questioned me: I didn’t want to answer, but…
“Y-yes, she’s Yuko…” I was finally able to say.
-----------------------------------------------------
AAAAAAND this is where chapter 3 ends, I decided to leave a cliffhanger, just to keep you interested. I started writing with no inspiration whatsoever, and before I realized it, my Word Document had reached 20 pages (12 of which correspond to the previous 2 chapters), somehow I wrote a long chapter, yay. Well, this is a reward for being patient, a new (and long) chapter two days before the date I promised. I don’t know when I’m going to update again, maybe until weekend, if I don’t have anything else to do, but most probably next Tuesday.
PS: remember to leave your comments; when you write “I love your fic” and things like that I can’t help blushing, your comments really motivate me to keep writing. Thank you for reading until this chapter, and wait for the next to come.

Chapter 4 (TEASER)
------------------------------------------------
“Hello Kai” the small figure said, her voice sounded a little mad, for some reason.
“Do you know her, Kai-kun?” Atsuko-san questioned me: I didn’t want to answer, but I had to…
“Y-yes, she’s Yuko…” I was finally able to say.
“Oh, how rude of me, nice to meet you, I’m Oshima Yuko.” She said, still with an annoyed tone in her voice.
“I’m Maeda Atsuko, nice to meet you… wait, you’re Yuko? Kai’s sister? But, you don’t have the same last name….” Atsuko-san reasoned, confused.
“Pfft, he told you that?! We’re not blood-related, and just so you know, I’m not his sister, I’m his fiancée” she said, proudly.
“Oh God, oh God, oh God, oh God… “, I thought, while having a nervous breakdown. “Atsuko-san is totally gonna misunderstand this, she’s gonna hate me, she won’t want to keep being friends with me…” all of that crossed my mind in a split second.
“F-fiancée?! Kai-kun, you’re getting married?! With your sister?!” she raised her voice, completely shocked.
“She’s totally an airhead…” I thought.
“Yo, Maid-san (Yuko didn’t really pay attention to Atsuko when she introduced herself, hence she couldn’t remember her last name correctly, resulting in this weird nickname), I told you, WE’RE NOT SIBLINGS. There’s nothing wrong with us being engaged, besides, we’re perfect for each other” she again said, arrogantly.
“YUKO, STOP IT! I’ve told you countless times I don’t love you! Don’t go around telling people you’ve just met we’re engaged, because it’s not true! That’ll never happen!” I was finally able to say, a little louder than I would’ve wanted…
“But I love you, Kai!! Please don’t break-up with me” Yuko said, her eyes getting teary.
“Yuko, get it once and for all, you’ll always be LIKE a sister to me, I’ll never see you as anything else” I was fed up with her attitude, why couldn’t she understand?!
“KAI I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!! WHY CAN’T YOU LOVE ME BACK?! DID YOU HEAR THAT? THAT WAS MY HEART BREAKING INTO PIECES INSIDE MY CHEST!!” she kept shouting at me, now crying like a kid whose candy had been taken. “Please, shut up! I can’t take it anymore, you drive me nuts!” I was at my limit, my head hurt like never before.
Meanwhile Atsuko-san was just sitting there staring at us. Wait a minute, was she enjoying this? “Is that a smirk? Should I bring her some popcorn?” I sarcastically thought.
“A- Atsuko-san, are you ok?” I asked.
“Perfectly fine Kai-kun, you two are just so amusing I couldn’t help watching you argue” she said, with an amused tone.
“What? Did she just say ‘amusing’?” I couldn’t believe what I had just heard.
“So you don’t care about us fighting at all, you’re just enjoying this whole matter while I get the worst headache ever?! You’re such a sadist!” I made an indescribable face while saying this to her. She started laughing.
Somehow seeing her smile made me forget about everything, even the petite girl who still kept yelling at me; I just loved watching Atsuko-san’s smile, it made me want to smile as well. Before I realized it, I started laughing with her, which made Yuko stop yelling her nonsense. She stared at us, confused.
“Kai, what the hell is wrong with you? Why did you suddenly start laughing like a crazy person?”
“I don’t even know it myself, just felt like it…” I said as my stomach started to ache.
“You two are a pair of weirdos, I’m leaving!” and just like that, she made her way downstairs.
After a while, Atsuko-san and I finally were able to stop laughing; suddenly an awkward silence filled the room.
“So… that was Yuko” she finally said.
“Y-Yeah, a-about her, w-we’re not actually siblings, b-but we grew up together, so s-she’s always been like a big sister t-to me” I stuttered.
“And why didn’t you tell me?” she inquired.
“B-because I was afraid you might m-misunderstand our relationship, l-like she does…” why the hell did I keep stuttering?!
“I see… but now, thanks to this I no longer trust you, Kai-kun, after all, you lied to me” she said, with a serious face.
“W-w-What?! B-but Atsuko-san y-you were laughing j-just a couple of minutes ago!” I just couldn’t comprehend this. “What the hell?!” I thought.
“I know, it was fun, but that doesn’t change the fact that you lied to me…”
--------------------------------------------
So how was it? Boring? Thrilling? Do you hate me now? Whatever it is, don't hesitate telling me about it :onionwhip:

CHAPTER 4 (CONTINUATION)
-------------------------------------------------
“And why didn’t you tell me?” she inquired.
“B-because I was afraid you might m-misunderstand our relationship, l-like she does…” why the hell did I keep stuttering?!
“I see… but now, thanks to this I no longer trust you, Kai-kun, after all, you lied to me” she said, with a serious face.
“W-w-What?! B-but Atsuko-san y-you were laughing j-just a couple of minutes ago!” I just couldn’t comprehend this. “What the hell?!” I thought.
“I know, it was fun, but that doesn’t change the fact that you lied to me…”
“B-but…” I was left speechless, was she for real?
“I’m sorry, I just need some time to myself, see you later, Takahashi-kun” and just like that, she stood up and left me alone. Boss was coming up the stairs smiling while humming a joyful song, but once he saw Atsuko-san was leaving, he stopped.
“What’s going on Kai? Did she had an emergency or something? Why did she leave so suddenly?” he questioned, in a preoccupied tone.
“No Boss, I just screwed up, BIG TIME.” I said, my voice sounded sad.
“Oh, is that so? What did you do? Did you confess to her?” he kept asking questions…
“No, I could never do that, even though I like her, I’m too afraid to ask her to be more than friends…”
“Then, what in the world did you do to make her leave like that?”
“I-I lied to her…” I said shyly.
“YOU DID WHAT?! KAI; IF THERE’S SOMETHING YOU SHOULD NEVER EVER DO, THAT’S LYING TO A GIRL!! You know why? Because they ALWAYS find out… Just ask my wife!!” he was notoriously exalted.
“I-I know, but I didn’t think about the consequences… I extremely regret it now” my eyes felt a little wet, was I seriously gonna cry because of this?
“Don’t worry, you can still fix this, and I’m gonna help you…” he said with a determined face. “Men were born to help each other against women and their crazy way of thinking!” Great, another nutshell…
“T-thanks Boss, but…. She was really mad at me”
“Fear not, my little, unexperienced Kai. She was just overreacting, like most women do; I bet instead of being mad, she was actually disappointed, because she felt that you didn’t trust her enough…”
“Wow, can you tell that without even talking to her directly?” I said, now he had my complete attention.
“You bet I can!! You see, this old guy here used to be quite popular not too many decades ago…” he winked.
“Pffft! You?! Popular with girls?! Yeah right, Boss!! Stop messing with me!!” I couldn’t help laughing.
“Hey, your incredibility offends me, young man! My afro used to make all of the other guys jealous, and girls always approached me because of it” He said, taking out his phone and proudly showing me a photo of his younger years. “You see now?! I was the coolest guy back then!”
“O-ok, I believe you now Boss… But, how is having an afro going to help me get Atsuko’s trust back?” I reasoned.
“It’s not about the afro, it’s about me knowing a lot about women! I can definitely help you!” he said again, with an amazing amount of self-confidence.
“Well then, please tell me… What can I do to fix this whole mess?”
“Firstly, you need to text her and apologize to her in the most honest way you can think of… Then, without letting her know, you buy some flowers and make a surprise visit to her house” he started. “If she doesn’t want to open the door and tells you to leave, you tell her you’re not going anywhere until she listens to you” man, this old guy is actually wise…
“But, it’s mid autumn, besides, I heard tonight is gonna rain… do you want me to die or something?” I interrupted him.
“Stop whining boy, you were the one who screwed up, and you’re the one who’s gonna fix it, whatever it takes, or do you want to stop being friends with her?” he was now a little annoyed; “do as I say and you’ll be like before in no time... though it’s not like you cheated on her, because you’re not even dating…”
“Y-you’re right, I’m the one who must fix this mess, I won’t care about anything else; I want her to forgive me!” I said confidently.
“That’s the spirit, now let’s go, there’s a lot we need to do” he said. “While I close the shop, you write and send that text, remember, be as cheesy as ever” he then rushed downstairs.
“B-but wait, what should I write?!” CRAP. I had no idea how to start.
It took me a while to figure out how to start my text; but after that initial blocking, I started writing effortlessly, words flowing from my mind thru my fingers into my phone. Finally, around fifteen minutes later of writing what I considered a prudent amount of words, Boss came back upstairs.
“Are you done? Let me see” he said, taking the phone out of my hands.
“W-wait, d-don’t read it, it’s embarrassing…” my face got red.
“Hmmm, I see… this is a really good apologize text, are you sure it’s your first time writing to a girl?” he just said.
“Of course, unlike you, I’m actually not that popular with girls…” I said shyly.
“Then you have a natural talent, my young friend… This will do, now send it” he ordered.
“F-fine… *beep* It’s done, now what?”
“Now, Kai, we need to rush to the flower shop before they close, you’ll need a bouquet of colorful flowers, but avoid roses, since they focus more in romance than in an apologize…”
“Ok, then, what flowers should I get her?”
“Maybe carnations, because they have a pretty color, and last for about 3 weeks…. Or tulips, their bright colors are quite attention-getting, but please, don’t choose both of them, or it’ll look like a hippie-psychedelic bouquet….”
“Wow, you weren’t lying when you said you had a lot of experience with girls…” I said, surprised.
“You still doubted me? Man, you’re hard to convince… Anyways, let’s go, there’s a flower shop around the corner, and I think they’re still open…”
We rushed out of the café, he told me which way to go while he stayed and closed the shop's entrance. I ran as if my life depended on it, and luckily the flower shop was still open. I rushed inside and talked to a clerk, she told me both carnations and tulips were good choices… She explained to me more about them, and I ended picking the carnations, because they lasted longer, and somehow, they provoked a warm feeling inside my chest…
Boss arrived just when I was about to pay, and gave me a thumbs up for my choice. We then rushed into the park, heading to Atsuko-san’s apartment. Suddenly I heard my phone’s ringtone, I had gotten a message; it was from her. I stopped and opened it, she said that even though I had sent a very sweet text, she still was mad at me for lying, and that we shouldn’t see each other for a while.
I couldn’t accept what she said, so I once again I started running, Boss behind me. In a few minutes I had reached her apartment building, once again, I had to deal with the women at the lobby, who seemed to hate me for some unknown reason.
Luckily Boss, being the retired player that he was, entertained them while I ran with all my might upstairs to Atsuko-san’s apartment. It felt like hours passed as the elevator reached the floor in which it was located. I ran through the hall until I reached her apartment’s door. I knocked, and waited for her reply.
“Yes, who is it?”
“It’s me, the idiot from this afternoon”
“Which one? I met a lot of idiots this afternoon”
“Takahashi Kai, the idiot who’s tremendously sorry for not telling you the entire truth about Yuko and him…”
“Ahh, that idiot… Tell him I don’t want to see him and that he better leave”
“He says he’s not leaving until you properly listen to him…”
“Well, tell him he’s gonna have to sit down, because I have no intention of opening that door anytime soon”
“He says he’ll wait until you’ve calmed down, it doesn’t matter how long it takes”
“Well then tell him I’m tired, and I’m going to sleep” she said coldly.
“I’ll gladly tell him”
Silence.
“Takahashi-kun, are you really planning to stay out there the whole night? It’s going to rain soon…”
“I don’t care, I’ll show you how determined I am to make you forgive me” I answered confidently.
“Ok, but I don’t want you knocking on my door if you’re cold or anything…”
“I promise you I won’t do that, now please, go to sleep”
“Fine”
*A few hours later - around 12:30 am, in Atsuko’s room*
“Damn you Kai, it has already started raining, and I can’t sleep because I’m worried about you…” she grunted. “I might as well go check on you without making any sound to make sure you’re fine” she thought.
Atsuko got out of her bed, and opened her bedroom’s door without making any sound; she slowly headed towards her apartment’s entrance door and took a peek thru the peephole. She saw Kai, sound asleep while sitting in the floor in what appeared to be an uncomfortable position, in front of the door, with a beautiful carnation bouquet beside him.
Rain was falling outside the window, what used to be a light rain had now turned into a storm, and thunder and lightning were close to appear. She stayed there, looking at the little guy getting soaked by the rain. She couldn’t help but feel sorry for him, so she opened the door.
It was freezing outside; she was only wearing a pink short, a black tank top and her white ankle socks, with a green border. She got out of her apartment and approached Kai, she tried to wake him up, but couldn’t; she touched his face, and realized he was burning hot. His hands were cold, though. She quickly dragged him inside, along with the bouquet he had brought with him.
She placed him on her couch, and took off his soaked wet, white shirt and pants. He was left with only his sleeveless white shirt which was, for some reason, barely wet, and his underwear. She quickly went to her room and took a hand towel; she then went to the kitchen and filled a plastic container with cold water.
She introduced the towel inside the container, and then squeezed it to get rid of the extra water, to finally place it over Kai’s forehead. She then went back to her room and took a cover to place it over his body. Atsuko sat beside the couch and stayed there in case Kai woke up. She periodically submerged, squeezed and placed the towel on his forehead.
She was caressing his right cheek with her left thumb, while saying out loud: “Mou Kai-kun, you’re really an idiot, getting sick just for my sake….”
Suddenly Kai slightly opened his eyes and said with a weak voice: “I-I told you I wasn’t going anywhere until you properly listened to me”.
Atsuko got startled because of this sudden event; still she told him: “Idiot, how are you planning on talking with me if you can barely stay awake?” she lightly chuckled.
“I-I guess I didn’t think about that… Hehe”
“Shh, don’t speak, you’re still pretty weak, I promise we’ll talk tomorrow but for now just rest, ok?”
“O-ok…” he said, almost falling asleep.
He suddenly felt a warm sensation all over his body, but it felt slightly warmer in a certain place; his lips. Atsuko had given him a kiss, since she was worried about him, and just couldn’t help it any longer. She wasn’t really mad at him; she was just disappointed he had lied. But it didn’t matter now, after the events occurred in the café, she realized something: she might have feelings for this guy.
While Yuko and Kai were fighting, she was just gone, thinking about the close relationship the two midgets were likely to have; she was jealous. She had succeeded in hiding her true feelings by laughing like a maniac, but the truth was, she was actually hurt. She realized she had liked Kai for a long time now, but she was sure Kai didn’t feel the same way, that he just saw her as a friend.
Now, all of a sudden, when she was finally making Kai get interested in her, this girl Yuko, suddenly made an appearance. To top it off she was claiming they were engaged and that she loved him; a rival had appeared before she could do anything to avoid it. She didn’t know what to do.
She thought that keeping her distance from Kai might help her feel at ease and that her heart might not hurt as much if she didn’t saw him for a while. But she was wrong; as soon as she arrived home, she regretted not having stayed in the café. She was sure Kai had a good explanation, but she was just so fed up with the whole matter that she had to run away.
Then she got the text from Kai, which she reread it countless times, until she memorized it. She could feel Kai had put his heart in those words, and that he was truly sorry, but her pride was stronger. She blew him off.
Lastly, a few hours ago, when the persistent guy appeared in front of her door, her heart had skipped a beat; she was now sure about her feelings for him. But again, her pride was stronger, and she didn’t let him in; she also was regretful about this, because now, the same little guy was on her couch, with a very high fever. She felt guilty.
Now, with all those feelings, she couldn’t take it any longer, and she just impulsively kissed him. She didn’t care if she was taking advantage of him, for once, she wanted to be selfish and think only about her own happiness; about herself.
After her lips parted from his, she kept caressing his right cheek until she fell asleep next to him.

------------------------------------------
Chapter 5
The next day Kai woke up in a place that was completely different from his bedroom; it wasn't even his penthouse! "Ahh, now I remember" he thought. Yes, it wasn't his place, but Atsuko's; he had gone the night before to apologize for being such an idiot and lying to her about Yuko.
He also remembered asking for Boss's help since, quite unexpectedly, he actually knew a thing or two about women; and lastly, he remembered running from one place to another until finally reaching his final destination, which was no other than Atsuko's apartment door.
From there his memory was blurry; he remembered having a little chat with the girl with whom he intended apologizing, but by then, probably due to stress caused by this whole misunderstanding, he wasn't feeling completely fine.
He figured it might just had been a headache caused by tiredness or something like that, nothing to worry about; he was proven wrong a few hours later, when he lost consciousness as soon as the storm he had heard about on the news had started.
After that, everything was blank; he had no idea how he had gotten past the front door, but he was glad an "angel" had taken care of him during the night.
Now, that angel was sleeping soundly sitting next to the couch on which he had slept, in a position that seemed like everything but comfortable. "She looks beautiful when she sleeps, I don't feel like waking her up" he thought.
He felt it was his fault she hadn't slept fine in the first place, the fact that she fell asleep in the middle of the living room, instead of her own bed; he just couldn't bring himself to cause any more trouble for the poor girl.
He also felt guilty because, due to his stubbornness, he had to be taken care of while he lost consciousness, and who had to do so was no other that the girl he intended to apologize to, he was just a burden to her, pr so be thought.
Finally, after waiting a few minutes, Atsuko woke up. She had the cutest sleepy face you could imagine, her hair was messy, but it only helped her look even better. This was a rare sight of the girl, and Kai was glad he was able to get to know a different side of her, one that not many had the chance to see.
After Atsuko woke up completely, no trace of sleepiness left in her body, she remembered the reason why she wasn't on her bed, hugging one of her pillows. After she noticed Kai had been looking at her the whole time, a certain memory was replayed inside her head, and her cheeks reddened all of a sudden; she forced herself to look away from her friend, feeling ashamed of her actions the night before.
"What have I done?!" she lectured herself, not noticing Kai was enjoying all of the silly faces she was doing while the self-lecturing took place.
"Atsuko-san" he interrupted her thinking, "thank you".
"For what?" She replied automatically.
"Taking care of me last night, although I'm not quite sure how I got here..."
"I dragged you inside, along with your flowers; since leaving them behind would've been a waste, because they are really pretty."
"Sorry for always been nothing but a bother to you, Atsuko-san...." He said shyly.
"Don't worry, I know you'd do the same for me..." She replied without looking directly at him; she couldn't bring herself to.
"Eh... Is there something wrong? Why do you keep looking at everything around but me? Also, your face is kinda red... Don't tell me, perhaps you got sick because of me?!"
"Don't worry, I'm fine, Kai-kun" she said with a smile, looking directly into his eyes; instead, he felt as if she was looking straight into his soul. He blushed.
Atsuko noticed this, and thought Kai might not be feeling good again... She stood a little higher than before, and intended to put her forehead on Kai's to see if the fever had gotten back; Kai got surprised with her sudden action, and tried to move away, but ended up bumping heads with her.
They both apologized to each other, their faces as red as a tomato; Atsuko went to the kitchen to bear with her embarrassment, and left Kai in the living room.
"Oh God, why am I being such an idiot?!" She thought, "get a hold of yourself, Atsuko!! Act natural for God's sake!"
*Meanwhile in the living room, sitting in the couch*
"Kai, you're such an idiot... Why does everything I do have to be a total fail? I'm starting to think I have bad luck... She must think I'm a fool" he thought.
Finally, Atsuko was the first one to speak.
"K-Kai-kun d-do you-u want s-some water?" Why the hell am I stuttering?! she thought.
"Ah, s-sure A-Atsuko-san... T-t-thanks" he stuttered as well.
(These two are surely a bakapuru (baka +couple) aren't they?)
Atsuko figured some self slapping will help her calm down, so she did it; she then got out of the kitchen, carrying a tray with two glasses of water, one for Kai, and the other for herself.
Kai noticed one of her cheeks was redder than the other; he abruptly stood up, but he caused Atsuko to trip and both glasses of water fell off, resulting in getting her pajama soaking wet, and also falling towards the tiny coffee table next to the couch where Kai had slept the bight before.
He noticed that Atsuko was going to crash against the glass coffee table, most probably resulting hurt, or even cut. He rapidly grabbed her, and turned towards the couch, but due to the fact that water had been spilled, he slipped, and ended up falling in top of her.
Luckily neither him nor Atsuko had gotten hurt, but something else happened; they accidentally locked lips.
And as if the situation wasn't awkward enough, Kai (finally) noticed his pants, or more exactly the lack of them. He had woken up with the cover Atsuko had placed over his body, so he hadn't yet noticed this embarrassing fact... In less than a millisecond, and much to Atsuko's amazement, he stood up and covered himself with the piece of fabric.
His face was completely red with embarrassment, he felt like digging a deep hole and throwing himself into it; Atsuko on the other side, didn't care about her friend being in underwear, since she had been the one to undress him.
She was trying to avoid worsening his state the night before, she didn't have a choice, because his clothes were soaking wet from the rain.
What had really shocked her was the sudden kiss, she wasn't expecting to repeat it, like ever, what had happened last night was just out of impulse; she had actually promised herself not to do something as outrageous as that ever again, since she feared she'd lose Kai's friendship because of that.
When she got out of her trance, she saw Kai on the other edge of the couch, the cover wrapped over him.
"Kai, are you okay?"
"I just kissed you, and oh, for some reason I don't have any pants on... There's no way I'll be okay!"
"Oh, about your pants, there's a valid reason f-"
"Please, explain."
"You see, last night it was raining, you fainted in front of my door, I dragged you inside, your clothes were wet, I took your shirt, pants and shoes off to avoid worsening your fever... And well you ended up looking like this" she spoke so fast that Kai barely understood what she had said.
"Is this how raped girls feel afterwards? It's horrible!!"
Atsuko laughed at her friend's silliness, this also helped lighten the mood. Kai relaxed a little, but was still quite "vulnerable" or so he said.
"Kai-kun, yo can go to the bathroom if you want, I'll go look for your clothes, and give them to you so you can get dressed; once you're ready, I'll make you some breakfast, okay?" she said smiling.
"O-okay... But, could you tell me where is it?"
"Oh sure, the door on the left, the one of the right is my bedroom... it's kinda messy, so you better not get in there."
"T-that sounded like you were menacing me..."
"Maybe I was..." Kai could notice her teasing mode had awaken.
"Yeah, okay, I'll be in the bathroom until you brig me my clothes; about the breakfast, I'll feel better treating you instead of letting you cook for me, besides, what if I end up having food poisoning or something?!" He said, grinning at her.
"Mou, idiot, I DO KNOW how to cook!!" she said pouting.
And just like that, these two's friendship went back to normal; Kai had to eat Atsuko's breakfast, even though she knew how to cook, she decided to play a prank on Kai, and prepared the most horrible thing possible, it barely looked eatable.
Kai knew if he said something bad about her cooking, Atsuko's feelings (and pride) would get hurt, and he didn't want any more trouble.
He ate everything that was on the plate, which surprised Atsuko, who had previously tasted some of it and couldn't handle the saltiness; she realized Kai was a very nice guy, and couldn't help but think it wouldn't be that bad if he liked her the way she liked him. But that was just wishful thinking, or so she thought...

Hello my readers I know I said I'd update a little sooner, but I got a writer's block; I absolutely had no idea how I would continue this, at least for a couple of hours... :dizzy: Right now it's 11:45pm here where I live, luckily, my brain started working again, and I've managed to write half of chapter 6 :sweatdrop: though it might be kind of sloppy... :panic: Still, I want to post it just to show you that I keep my promises; if I manage to finish the second half soon enough I'll post it later, if not, you might have to wait until tomorrow, or in the worst case, until the day after tomorrow. I'm sorry :bow:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHAPTER 6
A couple of weeks after their “reunion” if you could call it that, things had really gotten back to normal, the two college students spent most of their free time together, like friends of course; going to the café every once in a while to say hi to Boss, sometimes going to the movies, sometimes to the mall, and such. The only thing that had changed was that now both of them were aware of what they felt, Kai for Atsuko and vice versa; still, none of them could bring themselves to confess, due to the recurring thoughts of ruining the great friendship they had, and on top of that, the fear of being rejected by their significant other.
Both of them pretended to forget about the awkward situation that took place at Atsuko’s apartment –kiss included-, acting as if nothing had happened. After that day, Kai had learnt (the hard way) that making any bad comments about Atsuko’s cooking was completely suicidal, and wouldn’t go unpunished if she happened to find out. He had sworn that he’d never do that again, especially if Atsuko was in the same room.
As much as things seemed to be back to normal, the truth was neither of them could really forget about the –accidental– kiss they had shared the other day, and trying to hide it was torturing because it also meant they had to keep hiding their feelings. They didn’t know for how long they could keep doing it, and that scared them.
A certain Thursday…
Atsuko was getting ready to go out with Kai, as it was now usual; this time he had promised to take her to a place they haven’t been before, and she was, well, pretty excited about it. It had been around two or three months since she had arrived in New York, as long as it might seem, she hadn’t had the chance to go around the city that much, there were many museums she wanted to visit, many stores she wanted to buy at, and so... but above all, there was a special place she had always dreamed to go to; Broadway.
Since Atsuko was a little girl she had always adored watching musicals and singing along to them; she had even promised herself that she will visit the aforementioned place at least once during her lifetime. Now that she had gotten the chance to be in New York for a whole year, she was sure she would be able to make her childhood dream come true.
She was proven wrong as soon as her classes had started; her schedule was full with the different college-related activities she had to do during the day –sometimes even during the afternoons–, and well, there was also the time she –willingly– spent with Kai, which kept her occupied during most afternoons, sometimes until the late hours of the night. This left absolutely no time for her to do stuff on her own, not to mention she still didn’t know how to move around the city that well; just the places she usually visited.
She was almost done when her phone started ringing, it wasn’t the tone for phone calls, but the one for messages/mails; she wondered why Kai had texted her instead of just calling her, but then she realized the message wasn’t from Kai, but from an unknown number.
“Hello, it’s been a while since we last saw each other, can we meet?” the message said.
She concluded it may have been sent to the wrong number, so she didn’t give it much importance, and kept doing what she previously was.
A few minutes later, Kai called her to let her know that he was on his way to her apartment, so she better be ready by the time he arrived…
“Mou… just because I’m a girl it doesn’t mean that I need to be reminded by everybody to hurry up” she thought a little annoyed. Kai sometimes could be a jerk, but she knew it wasn’t intentional.
She then heard a knock on her door, Kai had arrived.
She rapidly made her way out of her room, through the living room, until she reached the door; as she opened it, she saw a big bouquet of flowers, red roses. Said roses were being hold by a guy who she at first thought to be Kai; due to their size, his face was covered. She then realized this guy was considerably taller than her blonde midget, so she concluded it must have been someone sent from the flower shop.
Atsuko told him to leave the flowers on the table and so he did; she didn’t know how, but in the blink of an eye, and before she could do something, said guy was holding both of her hands, looking into her eyes. She could now see his face; a tall brunette guy with long hair, big brown eyes, a 3-day beard, and… was that a mole on his lower lip? He somehow looked familiar, but she wasn’t able to recognize him.
He had now trapped her between the table and himself, and suddenly stole a kiss from her…
“Long time, no see, Atsuko” he said hugging her after the kiss; then Kai arrived.
He dropped the little bouquet of pink carnations he was previously holding in his left hand due to shock; he seemed hurt, for some reason. He didn’t even stay for an explanation, since he figured his friend had gotten herself a boyfriend and would want to spend some quality time with him.
As soon as Atsuko noticed Kai leaving, she tried to loosen herself from the guys embrace…
“Get the hell way from me, you creep, I don’t even know you!!” she yelled at him, while trying to push him away, unsuccessfully.
Kai heard Atsuko’s shouts at her “boyfriend” and rushed back into her apartment; he then grabbed the unknown man from the shoulders and threw him away from his friend, as soon as the guy hit the floor Kai grabbed him from his shirt’s collar and punched him in the left cheek. The bearded man growled in pain, and tried to stand up, but Kai grabbed him again, and was about to punch him for the second time when…
“Wait, you don’t understand… Atsuko, it’s me, RIKU!!” he managed to say while in pain.
“R-Riku?! Kai stop, don’t hit him anymore!! I know him!!” Atsuko shouted to her little “bodyguard”.
“That doesn’t change the fact that this idiot forced himself onto you, Atsuko-san!!” he replied as he punched him again.
“Wait, no Kai, that’s how we greet each other!! He’s my best friend from Japan; we’ve known each other since we were very young!! Please let him go!!
“Yeah dude, I’m her childhood friend, calm down!!” the other guy said.
“Still, you were so lovey dovey with her, I actually thought you were her boyfriend…” Kai said, with a reddened face. ”I was actually a little jealous…” he thought.
“Don’t worry Kai, he was just messing around… Could you give me a minute to talk to him?” Atsuko asked.
“F-fine, but if he tries some weird stuff again I’ll punch him…” he stated as he went into the kitchen.
“Dude, that hurt!! What the hell’s wrong with that Midget?!” Riku asked Atsuko.
“Y-you shouldn’t call him that, you’ll just get punched again…” she warned.
“Who called me a Midget?!” Kai rushed out of the kitchen, quite mad.
“Calm down Kai, no one said Midget, must have misheard…” she lied to avoid him getting mad at her friend once again.
“Yeah, chill, little guy” Riku said, a little teasingly.
“Hey, you want another punch?! Anything that refers to my height is NG, got it?!”
“Fine, dude, just go so I can catch up with my BEST FRIEND” Riku said, bragging about his relationship with Atsuko.
Kai was visibly mad with that statement, he had already noticed that the way Riku looked at Atsuko was more than friendly; he had found a rival, and he wasn’t happy about it. Still, the other guy had quite an advantage, since he had known Atsuko longer, plus they had been “best friends” for quite some time...

Seriously, sorry for the inconvenience caused, I really hope you would still continue to read this nonsense of mine. :(

As promised, here's part 2, though it's kinda short :badluck:, this might not be a good chapter, but it was all I was able to write, I hope chapter 7 is a lot better :err: Please leave your comments, opinions, "I loved it"s, "I hated it"s, etc. I could really use the feedback. :thumbsup
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHAPTER 6 Part II
He had to find a way to gain Atsuko’s attention back again, and like that be able to defeat Riku; he couldn’t stay with his arms crossed, and he utterly refused to lose the girl he liked to this guy.
Atsuko seem delighted with her surprise visitor, there had indeed been a few months since they had lastly seen each other; though they still communicated via e-mail, but it certainly wasn’t the same. Her best friend had changed so much she was barely able to recognize him, which had started the whole “Boxer Kai” thing not so long ago.
“Riku, what the hell happened to you?” Atsuko inquired, “You look like a hippie…”
“Hey, leave me alone, I’m just trying different looks, besides, chicks dig beards and long haired-guys…” he said confidently.
“Yes, but if you combine them you look like a homeless person, and we girls definitely don’t like that, as for myself, I prefer clean-looking guys…”
“Then I’ll cut my hair and shave my beard, that way you’ll like me…”
“Oh Riku, you’re such a teaser, no wonder why every girl back in Japan was madly in love with you” Atsuko shrugged him off, she was used to Riku’s smooth talk.
“Well, I’m an ikemen after all… besides, I’m in a band, of which I happen to be the leader, so yeah, of course chicks would like Me.” he winked towards Atsuko.
“You’re right, though I only like you as a friend…” she muttered, but Riku heard her.
“I could never understand why you didn’t want us to be more than friends, you know I’ve always liked you…”
“It’s not you, I think you’re an amazing guy, and the greatest of friends, but I’m just not the right girl for you… you’re more like a big brother to me, you know?”
“Yeah, I guess I’m fine with that… which is why if you happen to have a wooer (does this word even exist? Lol) he’ll need my approval first…”
“Riku, you’re such a joker”
“I’m not joking; I’m 200% serious… I don’t want you dating an asshole”
“That tranquilizes me, I knew I could always count on you” she said with the most honest of smiles.
“You know I’ll always support you, babe (this is Riku’s nickname for Atsuko, since they met when she was a baby; he is 5 years older than her)”
Kai was getting bored being alone in the kitchen, so he decided to step out; he saw Atsuko giggling along with her Japanese friend while sitting on the couch, their backs facing towards him. He was obviously jealous, but he understood it had been some time since both of them had seen each other, so he thought it’d be better if he left; he and Atsuko could go on a date some other day….
He went to the living room, stood behind the couch and poked Atsuko’s shoulder.
“Ehh… Atsuko-san I guess I’ll be leaving now”
“Oh Kai, I had forgotten you were here…”
“Hehe, yeah, I was in the kitchen… Sooo, I remembered I had something else to do, besides Yuko just called me, she wants to go somewhere with me”
“Ooh, so you’re going out with Yuko…” she had gotten a little jealous, hearing Kai mentioning her name, “I have an idea!! We don’t have to cancel our date, why don’t I bring Riku along, and we go on a double-date?” she happily suggested.
“But babe, he’s going out with her girl, we shouldn’t bother th—“
“Ok, I’ll tell her” Kai interrupted him.
Truth is he had lied about Yuko; yes, she had called him, but that was a few hours ago. In fact, since THAT day at the café, she had been calling him at every single hour, trying to make him go out with her, unsuccessfully. Now, he’ll have to swallow his pride and invite HER out. He didn’t want to, but it was necessary.
*Dialing*
“Hello, Y—”
“Oh, Kai, I knew you’d end up calling me, I’m so happy!! I was right you love me and not her, blah blah blah…” she interrupted him.
“Yeah, whatever… ehh, I know this isn’t like me, but I want to invite you out to eat something, Atsuko and her friend are coming, too…”
“Oh Kai, you’re such a killjoy, I thought we were having a romantic meal” she pouted on the other side of the phone.
“It’s not like I need you to come, I was just being polite. But fine, if you don’t want t—”
“I’ll go” she surrendered, she knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
“Fine, let’s meet at ‘Laporte’ the French restaurant near the 5th Av. in about an hour”
“Sure, your Majesty… you’re paying, right?”
“Yes, but don’t exceed yourself”
“YAHOOO, expensive free food here I come!!”
Little did he know that adding Yuko to the equation was just gonna make things more complicated; he was about to face one of the greatest obstacles, all for Atsuko’s sake.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHAPTER 7
“It’s done” he told Atsuko as he hung up the phone; “She said it’s fine if you also come along, hippie…” he said to Riku.
“HEY!! I’m not a hippie, you idiot!!” Riku answered.
“Stop it, both of you… instead of being fighting over your *hippie* look, we should get going, or else we’ll be late” Atsuko said
“Atsuko, did you just call me a hippie again?” Riku acted as if he was hurt, “Fine, I’ll go back to my old look” he said after a
relatively long pause, defeated.
“Please do” the other two said in unison, and laughed at such a coincidence.
“Ok, but given the fact that I’ve just arrived here, do you think you could accompany me tomorrow Atsuko? To the salon, I mean…”
“Unfortunately, I can’t tomorrow, I gotta go to college since early in the morning and until late in the afternoon, sorry…”
“It’s ok---“
“BUT, why don’t you ask Kai? As far as I know he doesn’t have any appointments tomorrow, besides, this could help you get along better…” she suggested.
“GREAT.” Kai thought; “Oh, yeah… I’d love to…” he finally answered, not completely convinced about it.
“Ah… great, thanks lit--- I mean, dude...”
“See? All settled!! You should exchange phone numbers, so you can discuss the details…”
“Uh, right… maybe later, when we uh… arrive to the restaurant…” of a said, with a tone of resignation
With that being said, they made their way out of Atsuko’s apartment; they had previously called a cab, which was already at the entrance of the building, waiting for them.
*On their way to the restaurant, inside a cab*
It had been quite a while since they had boarded the cab, around half-an-hour, Atsuko was getting impatient, and both guys were just silently looking at their respective phones.
“So, Kai, is it still too much time left until we arrive? I mean, won’t Yuko get mad at us for being late?”
“I’m sure she won’t mind”
“Still, I think you should text—”
“Oh, we’re here” he said. “FINALLY”.
*Inside the restaurant*
“Great, you’re finally here!!” a little woman exclaimed, “Oh, hello Atsuko and…” she leaned towards Kai and asked, “hey, who’s the homeless guy? You didn’t tell me this was for charity…” Kai couldn’t help but let out a little laugh.
“Riku, Kojima Riku” the Japanese guy answered, after clearing his throat, a little annoyed.
“Yeah, I’ll call you hippie, for the time being…” a smirk drawn in her face.
Riku let out a sigh, and concluded there was no use in debating about his new given nickname. Hopefully everything will
change after he went to the salon, the next day; with Kai, unwillingly. For now, he should just enjoy the food and the restaurant’s environment, which seemed quite luxurious for just a casual meal between acquaintances…
“Woah, everything’s quite pricey here…” he exclaimed once he looked at the menu.
“Kai, is it really OK for us to be eating here? Riku and I wouldn’t mind going somewhere else…”
“It’s perfectly fine, he and I come here quite often” Yuko said.
“It’s true, and let’s say going out to eat with Yuko is like going with a couple of my guy friends; she’s got quite an appetite”
“Oh Kai, stop it; you’re making me blush!”
Atsuko couldn’t help but feel a little awkward at the childhood friends’ interaction, if she didn’t knew them, she’d swear they were a couple… Somehow, she felt jealous; she decided to ignore them and concentrate on her own childhood friend instead.
Riku had noticed that Yuko saw Kai as more than just a mere friend, pretty much similar to his situation with Atsuko; by how Kai acted towards her, he could tell she had been friend zoned for quite some time now… “Maybe we’re not that different from each other…” he thought.
“Oh, by the way, Kai, I also took the liberty to invite a couple of friends; they should be here anytime soon” Yuko stated.
“It’s fine with me, but since they’re YOUR guests, then you’re paying for them” Kai said teasingly.
“I figured you’d say that, and I don’t have a problem with it” she answered confidently.
As she was saying this, her friends were entering the restaurant. They mentioned her name to the gentleman in the door and he quickly guided the pair towards the destined table.
“Oh my god!! You’re here!! It’s been so long since we saw each other!!” Yuko excitedly exclaimed.
“I know!! There’s so much to catch up about!! I’ve missed you so much Yuko!!” the taller female exclaimed.
Meanwhile, a seemingly timid guy quietly sat next to Riku, he vowed his head towards the other 3 people as a greeting.
“Nice to meet you, I’m Minegishi Ryou” he said in a low voice.
“Nice to meet you, I’m Kojima Riku” he said, “this beautiful lady is Maeda Atsuko” he indicated as he pointed Atsuko, “and the guy next to her is Takahashi Kai”.
“Nice to meet you” the other 2 said.
The two friends kept talking with each other for a while, so Kai told his guests and Ryou to order what they wanted; when the other two finished catching up, the taller female greeted the remaining people in the table.
“Oh, hi Kai, I almost didn’t see you there… If you know what I mean” she said, teasingly.
“Shut up, skyscraper” he said while giving her a hateful stare.
She chuckled and then directed her attention towards the other two people she didn’t know…
“Hello, my name is Shinoda Mariko, I’m a model. Nice to meet you” she said, “I’m sorry for not introducing myself earlier, it’s just that it’s been quite a while since I last saw Yuko…”
“Yeah, she’s always busy, so we don’t really have much time to meet each other” Yuko commented.
“It’s true; actually, I’ve been out of the country for some time, I’ve just gotten back a couple of days ago. Oh, by the way, I’m guessing you already met my boyfriend Kuu…”
“Kuu!? He told us his name’s Ryou…” Riku answered.
“Oh Honey, again?” Marko said to her boyfriend.
“Again??” everyone thought.
“Yes; again. His real name’s Kuuryou, but he’s never liked it, so he always introduced himself as ‘Kuu’…” she explained, “until recently, when I told him ‘Kuu’ sounded cute, since then he introduces himself as ‘Ryou’ instead…”
“B-but my love!! Ryou is far way more interesting than Kuu, besides it sounds cooler with my last name!!” he reasoned.
“He’s right Mariko, ‘Kuu’ sounds quite gay…” Yuko said.
“Hey, Oshima, don’t call me gay!! ‘My love’ can assure you I’m not!!” he said referring to Mariko.
“Is that so…” Yuko said grinning at Mariko.
“N-no comments” she said to Yuko with a light blush, “Sorry Honey…” she apologized to her boyfriend.
The other 3 just watched the discussion while silently eating their food. Kai was used to this, so he didn’t care, but Atsuko and Riku were both amused by Ryou’s – or was it Kuu? – sudden personality change; he went from being timid and introverted, to a noisy and outspoken young man.
Speaking about young, he looked a lot younger than Mariko, or so Riku and Atsuko thought. Atsuko was known for being the curious type of girl, so she ended up asking Kai about it.
“Ehh, Kai-kun, Riku and I have noticed something about your friends… Is Ryo-, I mean, Kuu younger than Mariko?”
“Ehh, no Atsuko-san; actually, Kuu is 30 years old, and Mariko’s 25…”
“Whaaat? Are you serious?” she said, quite surprised.
“Nah, just kidding” he said while laughing, “You guys are right, Kuu is turning 20 this year… I didn’t lie about Mariko’s age, though…”
“Oh, there’s quite an age gap there….”
“Not really, they’re both kids at heart…” Kai said, “Also, they’ve been dating for some time now, about 3 years, if I’m not mistaken…”
“Oh, really?” she then did the Math mentally… “Wait, so that means Kuu was in high school when he and Mariko met!? Doesn’t that make her a pedophile?”
“Lol, I also thought that! But they don’t seem to care about their age gap… Besides they love each other dearly, I wouldn’t be surprised if they get married soon…”
“Wow, I wish I met someone like that… Someone who I love very much and who equally loves me back” she thought.
“Atsuko-saaaan, can you hear me?” Kai said waving his hand in front of Atsuko’s face, taking her out of her trance.
“Ah, yeah, sorry Kai-kun, I got lost in my thoughts…”
“Well, should we continue our meal? Riku seems to have finished a while ago, and he seems bored”
“You’re right! Haha” she said.
“Yo, Riku, if you want to, you can order dessert or something, don’t worry…”
Riku then called the waiter and pointed at three different desserts, all with chocolate on them; it’s like he was just waiting for Kai to say the word.
After all of them finished, they exchanged phone numbers, since they felt they would be meeting multiple times in the future. Finally, when it was time for Kai and Riku, they didn’t want to, but Atsuko intervened and took both of their phones to type their respective numbers on them.
The two guys had no choice but to deal with it, and once again, Atsuko told them to go together to the salon the next day, Riku NEEDED to go as soon as possible, Kai agreed and they both set an appointment for 12pm the following day.
Once they left the restaurant, Mariko suggested they should all go to a club or something, since it was still early, but Atsuko told them she had to go to school the next day since early in the morning, so she had to get back to her apartment. Yuko accepted, it had been some time since she attended a party or went to a club with her friend; and well, it was more an order than an invitation for Kuu. Kai felt like having fun, and Riku seemed definitely interested.
It was decided, Kai and Riku would take Atsuko back to her apartment, and then they’d head to the club with the other 3 to party during most of the night. Yuko, Mariko, Kuu and Kai al suggested Riku to at least shave his beard, or else he’d have a bad time. He reluctantly agreed; Kai told him they could go to his apartment and borrow some of his clothes (which luckily were standard size, since Kai had just bought them and hadn’t had time to send them to get fixed according to his height).
After the little stop they made, they finally went to the agreed place, and exclusive club where only elite people were allowed.
They partied and drank all night long, until early in the morning, when all of them decided to head home. Kai called a cab for Riku to go back to his hotel, and he accompanied Yuko to her home; Kuu and Mariko went home together, to their shared apartment.
While heading to Yuko’s home, she placed her head on Kai’s shoulder, staying like that for some time. Suddenly she sat back and without hesitation, grabbed Kai’s head and kissed him. Being both quite drunk, they made out until they were yearning for air. Kai then reacted, and realized what they had done; he tried to stop Yuko trying to kiss him again, but drunken girls are known to be quite hard to handle...
Luckily they were just a couple of blocks away from Yuko’s home, so when they arrived he just helped her get inside and went back into the cab, finally going straight home. He didn’t know how, but he got home ‘safely’, and as soon as he reached his bed he fell asleep.
Meanwhile in Yuko’s home, she was sitting on the living room, texting.
“I did it, it worked, just how you said it would…” she wrote, a smile decorating her face.

I'm working on ch. 8, I may introduce new characters in the following chapters... With that said, I'll probably update tomorrow since I wasn't able to finish the chapter today, also I'm sorry for not replying your posts (I'm lazy lol) ehh, actually chemicalstar-san was kinda right; I WAS planning on making Yuko cooperate with Riku, but decided not to, since that's what everyone expects me to do... Yuko's collaborator/sidekick/whatever will be a new character. For now, that's all I can tell you, read you later :cow:
-
Well hello my readers, I've just realized it's been almost 2 weeks since my last update, so I was determined to write chapter 8 ASAP. I kinda ditched (temporarily) my other fic for the sake of this one, so I'll stop slacking off and will try to update at least every week from now on, probably on weekends, since school started yesterday, and it's my last high school semester (finally :sweatdrop: !!) I had a lot of stuff to do, so I didn't finish the whole chapter... but since I had promised to update, I'll post half of it, and the other half once I'm done. Enough about my boring life, here's chapter 8 (part 1), I expect you to comment once you're done reading it (please? :cow:).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHAPTER 8
The next day -actually afternoon, around 4 pm- Kai woke up, having the worst of hangovers he had ever experienced; even though he had consumed quite a high amount of alcohol the night before, he still remembered clearly the events that had occurred. A lot happened during their party spree night before: they had completely trashed a club's VIP Room, one of them had puked at another club's dance floor, and a lot of other stuff.
But the "Yuko incident" was by far the worst of them all; he was deeply ashamed by his -and his friends- misbehavior, but most of all, he regretted what had happened with Yuko, "luckily she was too drunk to remember, so this might not be entirely a bad thing" he thought.
But he was wrong. Yuko had planned this with the help of one of her acquantices, someone Kai didn't know, someone not even Mariko, her best friend, knew.
But who was this person exactly? How had Yuko got to know him/her? Why was he/she helping Yuko? Too many questions to be answered at a time...
Going back to Kai, he suddenly remembered he and Riku had set an appointment at the salon for today, so he texted his "friend".
Dude, are you still alive?
He quickly got a reply.
Why yes, of course I am, I actually thought you weren't though... Btw thanks, you made me lose my appointment, idiot.
Yeah, about that, I'm sorry. I drank a lot last night and woke up all hungover, don't worry, I'm a regular costumer there, so I'm pretty sure they won't mind... For instance, get changed, we'll meet at Atsuko-san's place and go to the salon from there.
"Idiot, I forgot Atsuko isn't home today!!" he thought as he was writing back to Riku, to change the meeting place.
I'm already here since an hour ago, she invited me to eat a home-cooked meal, which btw was delicious. I guess this is what being best friends is all about... Anyway, hurry up, little guy!!
"Ehh, she's home?! Wasn't she going to school the whole day?" he thought, "did she lie to me?"
As Kai read that last message from Riku, he was feeling confused. Confused because as far as he knew, Atsuko wasn't supposed to be home, also he felt his blood was boiling with jealousy...
Why had Atsuko told him a lie? Why had she cooked for Riku? As of now, they had only gone eating to some restaurants around town, but she had never cooked for him... didn't he mean anything to her? Maybe he didn't stand a chance against Riku. maybe he was just wasting time with Atsuko...
Those kinds of thoughts popped into his mind, though he knew he might be overreacting... There had to be an explanation, Atsuko wasn't that kind of girl.
Then he remembered something important: Riku was his RIVAL; sure, he wasn't that bad, hell he actually liked the guy's personality, but he was also -discretely- courting Atsuko. And by how things seemed to be, Kai realized he was in a pinch.
If he didn't do something quickly, he was gonna lose the girl he liked to this guy; and he wasn't going to -he couldn't- let that happen. He was gonna fight for her.
With this newly-found determination, he got up from his bed and rushed inside the bathroom; he took a cold shower to recover from last night's side-effects. He got dressed and left his penthouse a few minutes later. Mid-way he stopped by a flower shop, and bought Atsuko some flowers. Then he continued his way to her place.
When he arrived, Riku was the one who opened the door.
"Oh Kai, are those for me? Thank youuu" he sarcastically said.
"You wish, they're for Atsuko-san... Also-" he muttered as he punched Riku's arm, "that's for calling me little guy" he said, a little annoyed.
"Rikuu, is Kai here already?" Atsuko asked her childhood friend; she was currently busy inside the kitchen.
"Yeah, Atsuko-san, it's me", Kai ignored Riku's presence and made his way inside the apartment and into the kitchen.
There, Atsuko was facing the stove, her back towards Kai; she wore a light-blue apron, and was currently taking care of the nabe pot which had recently started boiling. A delicious smell fastly filled the small room, and Kai felt his stomach started grunting.
Riku had trolled him; yes, Atsuko had invited him to eat, but she had also asked him to tell Kai about it. He had decided to tell him "his way", making Kai distrust Atsuko a little in the process... He was definitely getting back at him. But not this time, probably.
"Ehh, Atsuko-san, I brought you some flowers..." Kai timidly said.
"Oh, they're gorgeous!!" she exclaimed, "you can put them in the vase that's on the dining room, if you want... Food's almost done, so please tell Riku to set the table, Kai-kun" she said.
"Got it!" he answered, Atsuko let out a small laugh seeing how high-spirited Kai was.
Kai then proceded "out" of the kitchen to tell Riku what Atsuko had just told him, while making his way to grab the vase decorating the dining table; he left the flowers there and went into the bathroom to pour some water into said vase.
As he made his way back into the relatively small LDK, he saw Riku was about to start doing his task, so he quicly grabbed the flowers, teared away the cellophane, an placed them in the vase.
While Riku was almost done setting the table, Atsuko was preparing to bring the hotpot from the stove to the dining table; since Kai didn't have any other task left, he just sat on the couch to avoid gettig in the way.
A few minutes later, perfectionist Riku was -finally- done, so he told Kai and Atsuko to sit down. Since Atsuko was the host -an the cook-, she refused being the first one to eat; instead, she insisted on letting the two guys try the food before she did, so they gave their opinion about it.
"Well, to be honest, last time I ate something that was cooked by you, it was hella salty, Atsuko-san..." Kai said with a hesitant voice.
"Oh yeah, about that... I did it on purpose" she responded with a smirk on her face, "I actually tried some, just to see how salty it was, and let me say I was very pressed by the fact that you were actually able to eat all of it..."
"Yeah, up to this day I'm not even sure how I managed to do it... I had a terrible stomach ache for 3 consecutive days, you know?!" He said, all hyped.
Riku cleared his throat to interrupt their conversation, he didn't like the idea of being left out.
"We should start eating before it gets cold", he said.
"Ah-- yeah..." the other two answered.
The rest of the meal was eaten without making that much noise; just the occasional random comments from all three of them, and the sound of cutlery smashing against the plates.
Once they were done, each of them grabbed their plates and glasses and tucked them in the dish-washer. Atsuko told them they should better leave if they wanted to get to the salon before the sun set, hence by the time Riku's haircut was done, they'd be returning home a little late.
The two guys obeyed, and after saying their goodbyes to their friend, the headed to their destination. (...)

Chapter 8 (Part 2)
The two young men had to make a 45 min voyage into the heart of the city, were only the most exclusive clothes shops, restaurants, and all those kinds of social-friendly places were; needless to say, only the wealthiest, well-known people went there, not because it was forbidden for anyone aside from them to go, but because the cheapest thing/product/anything you could find was a few hundred dollars worth… “Normal” people wouldn’t even consider stepping a foot near there.
“Hey, this place looks Taylor-made for rich people, are yo usure we’re not lost?”, Riku questioned his frenemy.
“Nah, don’t worry; the place we’re going to is not that expensive, besides they know me, so I get a discount every time I stop by, that is, every once in a while… Since I’m bringing a friend, I suppose that applies to you as well”, Kai confidently replied.
“I guess it’s fine, then… Anyways, are we there yet? We’ve been walking for a while now, and let’s just say I don’t particularly consider myself the athelic kinda type of guy…”
“Yeah, you see that Italian Restaurant over there? Just around the corner”, the litt-Kai said.
“Finally!! My legs hurt like a bitch”, an exhausted Riku exclaimed.
“Man, you’re such a girl…”, Kai sighed
“Are you implying I’m gay?! Watch it Midget!!”
“What did you just say, Japanese Yetti?! You better run if you don’t want me to hurt you that badly!!” Kai exclaimed as he started pursuing a now-frightened Riku, much to the Street spectators dismay
“W-wait Kai, I didn’t mean it!! Calm down” Riku shouted as he ran looking for safety wherever he could find it
“You should’ve thought it thoroughly, then! You already know how much I hate people making fun of my height…”
“Y-yeah, yeah… I know, I know. I’m sorry dude, I promise to think before I say anyting… Now please, can we at least arrive to our destination acting as the human beings we’re supposed to be?”
“Fine… But I already warned you, so you better watch out”, replied Kai, after calming down.
“By the way, you said the place was just around the corner, but since you started chasing me, I didn’t notice at all when we passed it… Where are we?”
Kai stopped for a moment, and analyzed his surroundings. He had been quiet for a few minutes, and Riku realized that he didn’t know where they were either. To say it in a few words, they were completely lost, even if Kai had been living there during his whole life, it was impossible for him to know every single place within the city.
Suddenly he got an idea, calling the owner and asking him for directions – something most guys hate to do, and leave as their last resource -,he had no choice but to do so. He quickly dialed the number as Riku waited beside him, trying to catch the conversation.
After a few minutes of greetings and random conversation, Kai finally was able to ask where the hell were Riku and him:
“… and that’s what happened.” he said.
A few laughs could be Heard from the other side of the pone, probably the owner having fun telling the other stylists and maybe even the secretary about Kai and Riku’s Little adventure.
“Don’t worry Honey, you’re just a few blocks away; you two just need to walk straight for a couple of blocks, then turn right when you see a and on the next block cross the street.” I’ll be out in case you don’t find it right away.”
“Thank you SO much, I’ll surely pay you back… Ask for anything and if it’s within my power, I’ll definitely get it for you.”
“Oh, Kai, you’re such a sweet boy… What I want is something I’ll surely never have, don’t worry, Honey, I’m fine”
“I insist, I must than you for always helping me out, you’re more than just a hair stylist for me, I consider you as family…”
Meanwhile Riku was still listening to the conversation, and thought Kai was being kinda pushy, but decided to let it go, since he and the salon’s owner knew each other from a long time ago. After a few moments of silence, an answer was finally given: “Ok, but I’ll tell you when you arrive.” The owner then hung up, and the two young frenemies started their trip back. Within a few minutes, and after following the directions, Kai and Riku were finally arriving to their destination; a few hours later than expected.
Riku thought something was off; all he could see was a black guy standing in front of a hair salon, not only that but “he” was wearing quite a flashy outfit: a non-sleeved pink shirt with some strange designs, yellow short pants and shoes that matched.
“Something is definitely off…"
“KAI, HONEY!” the big, muscular, showy guy exclaimed.
“Trisha! How are you? It’s been a while since I last came to get a haircut…” Kai answered.
“Ok, Trisha?! Oh God, Kai…” Riku thought,while doing a mental face palm.
“This is my friend Riku, he’s gonna be your ‘victim’ today” Kai said.
“Victim?! Am I gonna get raped or something?!”
“Oh, Honey, stop it, you’re scaring him..” Trisha commented.
“Haha, I’m sorry, I guess he’s just not used to seing a male hairstylist, don’t worry pal, Trisha’s not going to hurt you or anything”
“R-right...” Riku answered shyly.
“Don’t worry uhmm…”
“Riku, my name’s Riku”
“Yes; don’t worry Riku, I’ll treat you” he then approached to his ears and whispered “very gently”
“Of course Kai knew Trisha was just messing around, but he couldn’t help laughing when he saw Riku’s freaked-out expression, he lñaughed so much he nearly pissed his pants”
“Kai, I HATE you” Riku whispered to the shorter guy next to him, once Trisha was gone to prepare the products “she” was going to be using on Riku’s hair, prior to his haircut… the guy could use some help, honestly.
Once “she” was back, Riku was told to sit on a chair and just relax, ‘cause this was going to take a while. Trisha was known for being very serious about “her” job, and sometimes took the liberty of doing some minor changes to her clients looks, thinking they might look even better in the end.
This is exactly what was happening right now; “she” suddenly got an idea to improve Riku’s appearance, though it was a little risky, considering how Riku was the type of guy who seems to be against change, specially when he was the one who had to change, even if it was juat a slight bit.
With this in mind, she decided not to tell him, and instead discuss with Kai about it; first mistake. Kai loved playing pranks, and considering Riku was his rival (even if he actually liked the guy as a friend) he didn’t hesitate in agreeing with Trisha, he even made a suggestion; second mistake.
Riku had fallen asleep midway, and by the time he wake up Trisha was just finishing. It wasn’t a surprise how the por guy reacted when he saw himself in the mirror, with visibly shorter hair, and red-colored portions of it.
Riku was utterly shocked, and even exclaimed in surprised when he saw his “new” self. Kai was laughing uncontrollably, while Trisha was confused by both guys’ reactions. This was gonna have consequences, not the good type.
PS: I know this is probably all over the place, but I really hope you've liked it. :sweatdrop:

CHAPTER 9
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“WHAT THE HELL?! WHAT HAPPENED TO MY HAIR?!” an exalted Riku exclaimed while pulling the red-colored strands of his “new” hair.
“Stop overreacting dude, is just a little makeover…” Kai mentioned.
“Don’t you like it, dear?” Trisha questioned the troubled, taller man.
“NO I DON’T TRISHA!! WHO GAVE YOU PERMISSION FOR THIS?!” Riku had lost it, he was really mad
“Kai said it was a good idea, and that it’ll look good on you…” said Trisha, guilt was more than evident in “her” voice.
“KAI YOU ARE DEAD!! THIS MEANS WAR MIDGET!!”
“OI!! I TOLD YOU TO STOP CALLING ME THAT, JERK. It was a mere suggestion, besides, the color doesn’t last forever… Just keep it until it starts fading, then you can dye it back to brown… “ he calmly answered
“HOW THE HELL DO YOU EXPECT ME TO GO OUT ON THE STREET LOOKING LIKE THIS?! EXPLAIN IT TO ME!!” he was still pretty altered
“Walking, of course… “he replied in a serious tone. “Relax dude, I already told you this won’t last forever, just give it a try… Give it one month, if it doesn’t work out then you dye it back.”
“A MONTH?! ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS?!”
“Take it as a bet, if you can last a month with this hairstyle I’ll do anything you want…”
“WHY WOULD I—Wait, you said you’d do anything?… As in ANYTHING?” Kai’s plan worked, he now had Riku’s full attention.
“A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G” He repeated slowly, so Riku could understand him clearly.
“Do you realize what you’re doing? This might end up bad for you…” he warned
“Are you scared of mr being hurt? You’re such a good friend… OR maybe you’re just scared of losing.” He challenged
“Losing? HA!! As if! I NEVER lose…”
“Prove it then; accept my challenge…”
“I tried to warn you Mid—Kai. I hope you’re prepared for the worst…”
“Don’t worry, I won’t lose”, Kai confirmed.
“I won’t either… Fine, I accept the challenge” he said, quite determined.
“Fine; may the best of us win…”
Meanwhile Trisha was quietly watching the two guys converse between them. “She” was quite shocked and impressed with Kai’s hability to calm down Riku and convince him to do things hen didn’t even want to do in the first place. This pair of guys were interesting. It was easy to notice the rivalry between the two, but you could also tell they were friends, even if they tried to deny it…”
Back at Atsuko’s apartment
“Acchan, we’re back!” Riku exclaimed as he entered his best friend’s home
“You’re finally back!! What took you so---“ she forgot what she was saying as son as she saw Riku.
“BWAHAHAHAHAHA!! OMG RIKU WHAT-- HAPPENED TO-- YOU?!” She was having a hard time breathing from laughing so much
“Do you like it? It’s a little makeover… “Kai commented, “I suggested it” he said, trying very hard not to laugh.
“Shut up!! I’ll prove you I can survive this hairstyle for a month… In the meanwhile I’ll start thinking about an adecuate punishment for making me go through this…”
“Ehh, you’re keeping it like this for a month? Can you actually do it?” Atsuko questioned
“Of course I can!! I’ll endure this for a whole month just so I can take my revenge on Kai later; after all, he promised he’ll do anything…” he had an evil smirk on his face
“Oh Kai-kun, don’t you know how competitive Riku is? What if he actually succeeds?” said a worried Atsuko
“Don’t worry Atsuko-san, I won’t lose” he said confidently
“Even though I’m worried for both of you, this is actually kind of amusing… I’m expecting an interesting turn of events later on” she said with sparking eyes
“T-thanks, I guess…” they both replied, unsure of how to react
“Ok guys, so it’s getting kinda late and I gotta go to the university tomorrow, we’re doing a trip to some museums around the city, and if I miss this it might affect my grades… Not that I’m complaining, since I like museums and all”she then realized she was going out of topic –like she normally did- “Anyways, you both need to leave since I’m going to bed early…”
“Ok, see you later, Acchan…” Riku said as he kissed her cheek and walked to the entrance door, “Kai, you comin’ or what?”
“Go ahead, I’ll just take a minute…”
“Fine… It’s not like I’m gonna wait for you anyway” he said as he left
“Gosh, I swear he sometimes acts like a tsundere schoolgirl…” he said, trying to sound irritated
“You see Kai-kun? I told you you’d become friends in no time…”
“W-what are you saing Atsuko-san, we’re nothing like friends; in fact, we hate each other, and he can confirm so” Kai said, a little embarrassed.
“Yeah, whatever…”
“Anyway, I wanted to talk to you about something important, don’t worry, it won’t take long…”
“Ok, what do you need to—“she was interrupted mid-sentence by a pair of lips… Wait, LIPS?!
That’s right, “Kai-kun” was kissing her!! How can this be posible?! The serious and shy Kai-kun was being outrageous for once and taking the initiative!!
She closed her eyes to enjoy it, but it was short-lived since a few moments later Kai stopped and practically ran outside of the apartment with his face as red as a tomato. He couldn’t believe he had had the guts to do such a thing, he was sure Atsuko now hated him. Meanwhile, the previously lived scene was being reproduce don a loop inside his head, it had been awesome, but it had also been stupid to do it.
“I can’t believe I did it!! Gosh, I hate myself for doing it!! I can’t go back now, I’ll apologize to Atsuko-san tomorrow or something…” he thought
“Yo Kai, what took you so long?” Riku said when he saw Kai heading towards the exit
Kai tried to ignore the tall guy and intended to keep walking, but was suddenly questioned once again…
“Kai, are you OK? Your face is all red… Are you not feeling well?”
“I-it’s nothing, Riku, let’s go…”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I HOPE YOU LIKED THIS CHAPTER, IF NOT THEN YOU'RE FREE TO TELL ME HOW MUCH YOU ACTUALLY HATED IT.
PS: @cisda83: it all went well at school, I'm graduating on time!! :panic: I'm glad you wished me luck, thanks :w00t:

I know I said I'd update on Friday, but there was just something I didn't like about the chapter I had written, and I had to change it :catglare: Anyways, since I had a little extra time, I actually managed to finish writing the WHOLE story —or at least the main ideas, which are a lot— so I only have to extend them a little and then write them on the computer; hopefully I'd be able to update on a weekly basis from now on —or maybe not, since I have to study for my entrance exams, which are in 3 weeks— Medicine is the hardest option I could've chosen :nervous Well, I'll hope to update soon, so in the meantime enjoy this —kinda short— new chapter. :thumbsup Thanks for reading my pile of nonsense btw :bow:
CHAPTER 10
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Both dorks (Atsuko and Kai) couldn’t believe what had happened; more like they didn’t want to believe it… With this, their friendship could be ruined!! Besides, they were sure the other didn’t feel the same way; it was meaningless to try to pursue a more serious relationship… but was that really the case?
Atsuko’s Apartment
“Wha— Did he just— EHHH?! WHAT THE HELL’S GOING ON?!” she was too confused to grab a hold of the situation… “He doesn’t feel the same way I feel about him, but then why did he k-k-k-kiss me!?” she exclaimed out loud, her face so red it was almost painful to watch; she needed to calm down to analyze what had just happened and try to find a possible explanation to such a situation.
“I-I-I think I need to take a shower… a COLD shower” she thought. From the shock of being suddenly kissed she had landed quite roughly on the large couch adyacent to her –luckily her butt hadn’t suffered that much damage, though she probably wouldn’t have noticed it anyways–; she was having a hard time trying to stand up, so she just opted to roll over, hoping the impact with the floor wouldn’t be too painful…
She miscalculated the landing and hit her knee against the little coffee table beside the couch.
“Well this is just great” she muttered as she –slowly– made her way into the bathroom, rubbing her knee; she was hoping this action would make the intense pain go away, or at least lessen it.
Once inside, she waited until her bathtub was filled and then proceeded to take a “relaxing” bath… She needed to think things thoroughly, to find an explanation for Kai’s sudden actions; she needed to evaluate –if you can call it that– her and Kai’s current situation…
She asked herself questions such as “Was it possible for Kai and her to date?”, “Was Kai even interested in dating her?” –or what she feared the most and was praying not to be true– “Was the little guy just playing around?”
"Why would Kai do something like that?! I thought he only saw me as a friend... " she thought; "Ugh, I just don't know what to do!!" she exclaimed as she let her body slip deeper into the tub, until the water was just below her nostrils; her rubber duck was floating around, while she just stared without watching anything in particular.
“Aghh!!” she exclaimed, returning to her original sitting-position; splashing some water with the rough movement.
“What– the hell –was that guy– even thinking–?! Just when I had given up on him he suddenly comes and k-k-kisses me!! I swear sometimes it’s hard to deal with him!! But…” she touches her lips with her right hand and sighs once again, “I can’t deny that I kinda liked it, and wouldn’t mind doing it again…”. She couldn’t notice she was currently smiling.
Meanwhile, with Kai and Riku
“Dude, are you sure you’re okay?” a worried Riku questioned for the nth time.
“Don’t worry, I told you I’m fine”
“W-who saidI was w-worried? I-I was just trying to be polite, that’s all…”
“Yeah, whatever, I told you I’m fine” – though he really wasn’t–, “you know what, let’s go grab a drink or something” he then suggested.
“After all the mess we caused last time we “got a few drinks”? I think I’ll pass… besides you get kinda crazy when you’re drunk”
“Oh, come on!! Rikuuu, just for a little whileee” Kai pleaded
“F-I-N-E. But if you get too drunk don’t expect me to carry you home…”
“Eh, why not? Are you THAT weak?”
“WEAK?! Watch your words Mid–Kai… FYI, I’m stronger than I look… back in Japan I went to the gym everyday” he proudly said.
“Yeah whatever, let’s go have fun!!” and Kai suddenly sprinted away.
“Wait up, Mid–Kai!! I know I’ve been living in the city for a few months now, but I still don’t know much of it!! I’m gonna get lost!!” suddenly his phone started ringing…
“What do you want?” he answered in a pissed tone.
“Calm down pretty boy, I just wanted to know what you’ve been up to… I miss you, you know?” a female voice responded.
“I told you to leave me alone, don’t you get it?”
“Oh come on, how come you never rejected me when we–“
“Don’t– mention it…” he replied.
“But–“
“I told you, didn’t I? I don’t love you…and I never will” Riku said.
Complete silence. Then the girl’s voice was heard again, “I HATE YOU!!”
“Yeah, you should” was all that Riku could reply before the now annoyed girl hung up.
He sighed in relief. “Damn, that Kana is surely a pain in the ass… I have told her countless times I don’t like her” he said to himself; “Wait, where’s Kai?”
He looked around, trying to find the midget, but failed. "THAT IDIOT!!”
Riku tried calling him, but the little guy was already in a nearby bar, gulping tequila shots like there was no tomorrow; he had to forget about what had happened just a while ago, getting drunk was the only solution he could think of.
Meanwhile Riku was walking around, asking the people that were passing by if they had seen a human as tall as smurf running around; luckily a couple had spotted the little guy dashing into a –karaoke– bar on the other side of the street, and after thanking them, Riku went to look for him.
While crossing the street, he could hear a familiar hoarse voice coming from inside the establishment, it was none other than Kai, who by now was completely wasted, even though he hadn’t had that much tequila shots yet –one of the disadvantages of being a small person– alcohol hadn’t taken that long to spread around his entire system.
Riku face-palmed, knowing he was gonna have to deal with the Midget on the way back home; sometimes he wished they weren’t friends so he hadn’t have to run such troublesome errands… “Wait, did I just call him my friend?!” he thought; “nevermind, he’ll embarrass himself even more if I leave him here… he could end up in jail for being in the current state he is, and Atsuko would hate me if that were to happen”
“Ok little man, party’s over!”
“WHAT *hic* DID YOU *hic* JUST CALLED *hic* MEEEH?! COME HERE SO I CAN *hic* KICK YOH ASS!!” Kai shouted in a totally drunken state, placing the mic he was holding during his “performance” closer to his face.
Riku apologized to the owner and paid what Kai had consumed –7 tequila shots– and a little extra for having to see the worst of his frie– acquaintance. He then proceeded to take the mic from Kai and give it to the next person on the line for karaoke and grabbed Kai by the waist to carry him on his left shoulder.
“LET ME *hic* DOWN YOU FUC– *hic* GIANT!!” Kai exclaimed, making a tantrum.
Riku once again apologized to the people who were just trying to enjoy their time but couldn’t due to his friends irrational actions. He then left and decided to call a cab as soon as he stepped outside the door. Luckily the wait wasn’t long; when the yellow car stopped he opened the door and practically threw the Midget inside, he entered shortly afterwards, and asked the middle-aged driver to get them to Kai’s apartment building –he gave him the address, of course–.
The state of calmness was short-lived, because as soon as the cab stopped outside of the 30-storey building, he opened the door and tried to escape. Riku had good reflexes as he quickly handed the driver a 50-dollar bill and told him to keep the change; he followed –and subsequently captured– the little fugitive, and afterwards was obliged to used strength to keep him still, and be able to get him home safely.
Kai was making a fuss on the building’s lobby, and once again, Riku had to apologize on his behalf…
“LET *hic* ME *hic* GO!! I NEED *hic* TO SEE HER!!”
“Her? Who are you talking about?”
“ATSU *hic* KO”
“Dude, it’s like 1am now, she’s already asleep; whatever you need to tell her, it can wai–“
“NO IT *hic* CAN’T!! I HAVE TO *hic* APOLOGIZE!!”
“Apologize? What did you do?” Kai questioned, confused.
“I K-K-Ki– *hic* KISSED HEEERRR”
“YOU WHAT?!?!“ Riku was left speechless.

An update already... That's great...
Ah... Kai put Atsuko in panic over his kiss... Well now Atsuko could not move on at all..
Interesting concept there just because Kai was short so it was easier for him to get drunk.... REALLY?
Oh... Kai was troubled over his kiss that he went drinking just to forget about it...
Eh... Kai wanted to apologize why...?
Did he not want to be with Atsuko...?
What would he do the next day when he met Atsuko?
Be waiting for your update
Thank you for the update
