"So Haruna..." Yamato points at the schedule in my hands. "Are you planning on enrolling Harue in the Ikebana lessons? I couldn't help noticing them yesterday as they sat on the living room table..."

Yeah I can see why you would not not notice them because they literally say it's Utsunomiya and bold and have a shit load of flowers plaguing the edges of the paper. The schedules look like a flyer in America that promote tampons or something (those always have a lot of flowers on them).

"I want to attend ikebana classes!" Harue springs up from where he sat on the couch.

Yamato stared at Harue's reaction. He was already aware of his interests and hobbies but he didn't think that he would actually take classes for it.

"I think you'd be really good at it." Yamato gives him a thumbs up. Harue smiled happily.

Kougami then turns to Fumiko. "Did you guys go to Long Island?" He asks eyeing a slightly buzzed Fumi.

"Y-yeah." She nods. "We were gonna invite you but..."

"Okay, alright. I got you Fumi." He sighs and grabs her arm, dragging her out of the apartment.

"You guys won't stay for dinner today?" I ask Yamato, somewhat hoping he would stay a bit longer. He stops in front of the door without turning back. He slips on his shoes and assists Fumiko with her own.

"Not today. With the way she drank tonight... I doubt she feels hungry."

They exit, leaving the heavy door to slam on its own.

Harue and I walk to school together with Yamato this morning. As usual, we drop off Harue by his school.

As we make our way up the hill that leads up to our school. I decide not to turn to Kougami and converse as usual. Instead, I look over at the row of cherry blossom trees that bloomed next to me. I was pretty obvious and indicated that I didn't really feel like talking. I glanced over at him occasionally, he didn't look too interested in talking either.

The walk dragged on for longer than anticipated.

When we got to our classrooms we just stood still for a second.

"Um..." We both start at the same time.

"Oh- you go ahead." I look back down.

"Oh ok well..." He clears his throat. "I was going to say- see you later..."

"Yeah ok." I nod my head and walk into my classroom quickly without looking beside me.

I quickly shut the sliding door behind me. I think I was thinking about Yamato and Fumiko more than anything.

I mean they like each other, and before it didn't bother me much before but...

A man and a woman living under the same roof.

Can someone expect for something to happen?

I remember seeing them leave my apartment. Fumiko was drunk.

I don't think Yamato would...

The bell rings interrupting my unwanted thinking.
------
Yamato P.O.V.

I was probably really awkward on our way here. Did it really matter though?

What matters anymore?

I am well aware of Fumiko's little secret and crush. She had decided to trust me, and I feel happy to have her tell me about all of this.

One of the reasons I wanted her to become my fake wife is because; one, she has an uncle that is basically forcing her to. Two, she's not attached to anyone or anywhere. Three, I'm 100% guaranteed not to have her fall in love with me or something, since she's lesbian.

I was suppose in the beginning I was really supportive. I even told her that getting with Haruna was a possibility, since we didn't know if she was, straight, straight. I gave Fumiko hope...

But now, I don't feel so strongly about supporting her. I don't know why.

Yesterday I had to pull Fumiko out of the apartment because she was drunk.

She had told me about how on New Year's Day, she thought maybe she had confessed to Haruna, as a result of her intoxication.

She looked pretty scared yet...

I was the one to suggest that she pretend that it never happened.

I do think it was for the best but...

Having her get drunk with Haruna isn't very safe, I fled from her place because I didn't want Fumiko spilling her beans.

Can we really go on pretending that it never happened forever?

No.

There's another feeling of uneasiness inside of me. I think this might be directing towards Haruna.

Am I worried that Haruna and Fumiko might end up together?

No, no, no that can't happen. I hope it doesn't?

Wait, shouldn't I be supporting Fumiko?

What?

No no I'm pretty sure Haruna is straight I mean, she did have a boyfriend.

But she hasn't shown any interest of getting a boyfriend...

That's because of Harue.

"Argh!" I groan and put my head down on my desk as I try to organize my explosion of thoughts.
------------------
-After School-
Haruna's P.O.V.
Yamato usually comes into my classroom for lunch now. But today he hadn't. Did I do something to make him mad? Maybe the way I acted earlier gave him the wrong idea?

I walk out of my classroom with my purse hanging from my shoulder. I lock my door and look at the classroom beside mine.

"Yamato..." His name escapes from my mouth in a barely audible whisper.

Should I wait for him? It would be rude to just leave.

I'm now painfully aware of how much time out my days I spend with Kougami. My mornings, in the noon, afternoon... sometimes evening.

With mixed feelings I walk to the spot next to the school gate that I always stand by when I wait for Yamato.

Just act normal.

"H-Haruna..." I look up from the dirt that I randomly kicked around.

"Y-Yamato..." I say his name a bit clumsily. "Y-you didn't come by for lunch today..."

"Ahh.. yeah I... had some stuff to do." He says awkwardly.

We start walking down the slope of the hill in silence again. I didn't believe his little excuse. I'm pretty sure I've done something to make him mad.

"Listen...did I do something to make you mad or something?" I stop walking and turn to him. "If it's about this morning, I'm sorry...I just had a lot on my mind..."

"N-no I'm not mad or anything. And, this morning?"

"Yeah...I was kind of ignoring you. But well, I had a lot on my mind..."

"N-no you haven't done anything."

"Are you sure? If I've done something please let me apologize.."

"No! That's not it..." He denies harshly.

"Then why?" I ask. "I'm pretty sure you weren't busy or anything..."

"I was just thinking about some stuff and I couldn't face you then!" He spats nervously.

"What were you thinking about?" I ask him curiously.
"I was thinking about you, ok?" He looked annoyed before but now that he was conscious of his words his face turned a bright pink.

"W-wha!" I also turn a little pink at his sudden outburst. "Y-Ya-"

He walks ahead of me hastily. "I didn't say anything!"

"Yamato!" I run a bit to catch up to him.
