It was the next morning when Takumi woke up. He carefully got up so he wouldn't wake her up. When he was ready for school, he kissed her forehead before leaving. For a moment there, he thought he saw a smile on her face.She woke up to someone stroking her hair. She was lying down, her head resting on Takumi's lap. She turned to face him without getting up.“How long was I out?” She asked while rubbing the sleep from her eyes.“The whole day. It's almost five.”“I don't feel like going to work tomorrow.”“Maybe you should. It might help you take your mind off things.”“Maybe. But I should eat first before deciding on anything. I think it's your turn to cook.”“On it.”They ate in silence; she was still obviously bothered by what had happened. When they were getting ready for bed, Takumi came up to her. He cupped her face and kissed her. She gave him a confused look.“For someone so smart, you can be a real idiot sometimes.” He kissed her forehead, “You never listen to me...” Then her
The long-awaited holidays had finally arrived. Takumi's parents were happy to see him. His dad didn't mind that he brought Twilight with him and even made a few jokes about being his future daughter-in-law. His mom, of course, was a different story. She didn't say anything but the look on her face said it all.“Twilight, there's someone I want you to meet.”There was a small figure hiding behind Takumi.“Hey c'mon, don't be shy.” A little boy shyly moved forward.“H-hi.” The little boy mumbled. He looked like Takumi except with black hair and brown eyes.Before Takumi could say anything, Twilight was already obsessing over the little guy.“Oh my Goddess. You're the most adorable thing I've ever seen.” She said while pinching both his cheeks. “What's your name?”“Toshiro.” He replied.“That's a cool name. How old are you?”“I'm seven. My brother told me about you, and he was right when he said that you're pretty.”“Aw. You look a lot like your brother except cuter.”“Do you have to roa
Takumi woke up before she did. He left, returned a few hours later, and knocked on her door.“Snowflake, are you awake?”“Yeah.”“Are you decent?”“Since when do you care? Even if I said no, you'd still come in.”“Hey, cut me some slack.”“I would, but that's impossible. And the answer to your question depends on what your definition of decent is. Knowing you, I'm sure it's minimal clothing.”“No, it's not.”“Relax. I'm fully clothed, so you can come in.”He came in. “I was asking because someone came to see you.” Next to him was a girl. She looked like the female version of him except shorter, with dark hair like Toshiro and her eyes were a darker shade of grey. “This is my sister, Sora.”She stared Twilight up and down for a while and her lips curled into a huge smile. She turned to Takumi.“She's so small it's adorable. You found yourself a cute one, that's for sure. Hi, I'm Sora.”“I'm...”“Twilight, yes I know. Toshi was the only one who cared enough to tell me about you. It brea
Weeks later…“Snowflake.”“What?” She mumbled, turning in the bed, half-asleep.“Could you come in here for a sec?”“Why?”“I need your help.”“Fine. Where are you?”“In the bathroom.”“Hold on, I'm coming.” She got up and walked over to the bathroom, her brain still in sleep mode. “What is it?” She asked, still sleepy.“Could you hand me that towel?”“You woke me up just for that? Geez, here.”She handed it to him, but before she could react, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her in. Landing in the water woke her up. At this point, she realized that he was in the tub, naked, and she was on top of him.“What the hell?!”“Morning.” He smiled.“Is that all you have to say for yourself?”“Oh right, I forgot to ask. Like what you see?”“Want me to knock your teeth out?”He only smirked.“What's with the smirk?”“You're wearing a white shirt.”“So?”“And it's wet.”“What does that have to do with...” She figured out what he meant and covered her chest. “Pervert.” Her ears were already bright
When Takumi couldn't find Twilight the next morning, he brushed it off as her leaving for work early. He figured she was still mad at him and carried on, as usual, getting ready for school. He met up with Hansuke, Ichiya and Keito at the school gate.“Morning, Tak-kun. You're right on time; Kei-kun was just about to share some interesting information.”“That so?”“Yes, apparently you guys have a new student joining your class,” Keito said.“I wonder if they're a girl or a dude,” Hansuke said.“If she's a girl, I get first dibs,” Ichiya stated.“Why bother telling us? Either way, we know you always get first dibs with the ladies. Try not to get slapped or scare her away, if she's even a her. I hope for her sake she's not.” Hansuke said.“Whether she's a girl or not makes no difference to me.” Takumi shrugged.“That's only because you only have eyes for a certain silver-haired hard head.” Hansuke nudged his arm.“I guess that means less competition for me,” Ichiya said.“Ok, Shorty, tim
Takumi's friends stood in front of the door taken aback by what they just heard. They busted in, while covering their eyes, to stop whatever was going on.“Alright, you dirty kids, this isn't the time and definitely not the place to make kids,” Hansuke said.“Geez, you scared the hell out of me,” Twilight said.“Is it because we interrupted your little escapade, or should we say sexcapade?” Ichiya asked.“Ok? But you do know that you don't have to cover your eyes, right?” She pointed out.“It's rude to stare at someone who is nude if you are not that intimate with them. Especially a lady.”“Take your hands off your eyes.” She spoke.“And why would we do that? Are you an exhibitionist or something?” Hansuke asked.“No, you weirdo.”“Why else would you ask us to uncover our eyes?”“Because neither of us is naked,” Takumi replied.“Oh.” They said and uncovered their eyes to see that they were sitting on the bed next to each other with confused looks on their faces.“What were you morons
The next day…“Rengoku, you can go on without me. I'll catch up in a bit.”“Sure.”She walked around the school for a while until she got tired and sat on a bench.“Oo, you have really pretty hair.”“Huh?”“Oh, my bad, I should have introduced myself. I'm Ayaka Ohtani. But everyone calls me Aya. We're in the same class.” She sat next to her.“Oh. Sorry, I haven't gotten to know everyone yet.”“Then I'll be the first one you get to know, Sakata-san.”“You can call me by my first name or my second one. I prefer it if people don’t call me by my last name because it makes me feel like my dad when you don't.”“Ok, Tisiphone. I don’t think I've ever seen snow-white hair before. Did you dye it?”“Nope, it's been this way since the day I was born.”“That's so cool. How did you get it to be so curly? Mine is always pin-straight; it never wants to stay curly no matter what I do.”“Mine never wants to stay straight no matter what I do.”They looked at each other and then laughed.“You laugh like
Monday…“Sakata, nice to see you again. Are you settling in ok?” Vice pres. asked.“Uh, yeah.”“That's good.” He smiled.“How can a smile look so damn cute?” She thought.“Hey, get your head out of the clouds. We already have a Mr Right.” Tis said.“Put a sock in it.” She pushed Tis to the back of her mind.“Are you feeling ok?” He asked.“Yeah, why?”“Your face is turning red.”“Don't worry, I'm fine.” She blushed even more.“Are you sure?”“Yeah, it must be hot today or something.”“If you say so. Oh yeah, I wanted to ask: have you decided on which club you're going to join?”“Yeah, I’ve already joined one. The kendo club.”“I guess we'll see each other more often then.”“Huh?”“I might not look like it, but I'm also part of that club.”“Handsome and has sword skills. This guy's the full package. Where have you been all my life?”“Will you stop ogling over him already?”“You used to do the same thing with other guys. Now it's my turn.”“Whatever.”“Anyway, see you after school, Saka
