"So you have to give an exam?" Nagi asked, dangling his legs while sitting on the bench.

"Mhmm, a ' Raging Entertainment's composer's test' ," replied Catarina.

"Eh, why? You're already our composer."

"It has nothing to do with the exam,Nagi. This exam is to make sure that the composers learn new things. It's for our growth."

Nagi snorted."You are definitely weird! I've never seen someone look as happy as you when they talk about exams."

"I'm not happy! I'm just telling you the positive sides of the exam." She puffed her cheeks.

"Whatever." The pinkette rolled his eyes. "But tell me, what will happen if you fail this exam?"

"I'll have to keep giving more exams till I pass and the exams will keep getting harder. Not to mention I won't be able to compose for you guys till I pass."

"And when is this exam?"He furrowed his brows.

"In two months."

"Then does that mean you won't work on my solo song now?"

"No,I can work on your song, as well as Kira's since yours are before my exam."

"Then..."Nagi trailed off.

"Yes, if I fail I can't work on Eiichi's solo."

". . . .You don't look too nervous," Nagi stated.

" I am nervous but I know I can pass this exam. I believe in my knowledge of music. . .Although I can't sit still like this." Catarina stood up from the bench. "I have to start revising my previous notes and new informations!I'll start just after your shoot is over!" She pumped herself up.

Nagi deadpanned. "You truly are a workaholic, or should I say, studyholic."

"Whatever." The blonde rolled her eyes at his comment.

"Hey, Nagi-chan, Na-chan!" Van waved his hand as he and the rest of HEAVENS came to the amusement park.

"Van! Guys!" Catarina waved back.

"You all came," said Nagi.

"Of course, we'll come! It is Nagi-chan's photoshoot." Van pat the youngest's back. It was indeed Nagi's turn. His theme was 'First date of a teenager'.

"It's not.like I needed your support or anything. I just wanted you all to know how cute I am!" Nagi looked away.

Tsundere.

Catarina giggled as she watched Van and Nagi's exchange. Shion came from behind and hugged the shortest boy, causing him to whine. Then Kira advised Shion not to hug Nagi now since he is in his outfit for the shoot while Eiji and Yamato watched them.

As Catarina was watching this chaotic but friendly chats, Eiichi wrapped an arm around her waist from behind.

Before she can turn to look at him, Eiichi whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, it's just us."  She nodded in understanding. His breath made her blush tiny hints of pink. Thank goodness, the others didn't notice them.

*  *  *  *  *  *  *

Catarina opened her room's door to reveal Eiichi in his navy t-shirt and pants. She made way for him to enter her room. She was really happy they can hang out after dinner.

"Were you busy?" Eiichi asked when he noticed the pile of books and notebooks on her desk before he sat on her bed.

"Not really. I only just started studying," she answered as she sat beside him.

"Study? For what?"

"For the upcoming test. You know, the composer's exam."

"The one in two months?"

"Hmm."

"Then, aren't I disturbing you?" Eiichi asked.

"Nope. Not at all."

"Really? Knowing what a workaholic you are, you would study until you collapse."

". . .Don't talk like Nagi." She pouted. He lightly laughed.

"Still, I know how important the exam is. I should come by another time." He didn't even get time to get up from the bed because she grabbed his hand.

"Don't go!" She exclaimed. "I want to spend time with you..."

"Angel..."

"Don't leave me alone." Shyly, she hugged him from the side.

Eiichi's eyes softened. "I can't leave when you are like this, can I ?"

"...you can't." She came closer to him, inhaling his scent. "Spend the night with me."

"Huh?"

Since Catarina wasn't looking at his face, she didn't see the red blush appear on his cheek. She also didn't notice the quickening pace of his heart.

"It's been a long time. I want to stay with you," she mumbled.

"Oh." Eiichi released a breath he didn't know he was holding. He looked at his girlfriend looking up at him expectantly with those innocent eyes.

"I'll stay." He smiled. "Though, you shouldn't say things like that so easily." He whispered in her ear.

"What?" She blinked her eyes. "What should I not say?"

He chuckled as he ran his fingers through her long blonde hair. "Nothing, my angel."

She kept looking at him before shrugging and dismissing the topic. Eiichi patted her head and placed his glasses on the nightstand. Lying in bed before switching off the lights, they pulled the cover over them. They laid facing each other.

Catarina looked at him with a bright smile. "You had to travel a lot for your movie. How did those trips go?"

"They went pretty nicely but I was alone." He situated an arm around her while folded the other under his head.

"I missed everyone but most of all, I missed you." Eiichi planted a soft kiss on her lips.

"Y-you shouldn't surprise me like that." She blushed pink but the smile never left. "Anyways, tell me how those days went. I want to know more about you."

"Okay,sure."The male smiled back.

*  *  *  *  *  *  *

"You are sleepy," Eiichi stated when he noticed the female's eyes drooping.

"Mhm..." Catarina relaxed more when Eiichi gently started running his hand on her hair.

"It's funny. You should be more tired and sleepy than me," Catarina said before yawning.

"I'm used to it. And, you aren't any less tired." He kissed her forehead. "Go to sleep."

"But I want to be with you for longer...."

"You are with me. I'll be here all night." He pulled her closer.

"Fine." She snuggled towards him. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight, my angel." No sooner had Eiichi said those words, Catarina fell asleep. Eiichi silently chuckled at how fast she fell asleep.

"And you still wanted to stay awake?" He whispered to himself. He wasn't sleepy so he decided to look at her.

Catarina was out like a feather. Eiichi looked at her sleeping face. He smiled because of how cute she looked. He stared at her long eyelashes before going from looking at her perfectly shaped nose to her natural pink lips. Only Eiichi knew that they were as soft and smooth as they looked.

He didn't know how much time passed while he was staring at her face. Meanwhile, Catarina shifted in her sleep before curling towards him more. He kept running his hand over her hair. He could feel how smooth her hair was. He twirled some strands with his finger before continuing his previous action. When his hand went to stroke her back, his eyes widened and his hand stopped moving.

Eiichi looked down to make sure if he was correct or not. And he was correct. Her t-shirt was slightly lifted up revealing a part of her skin. Eiichi blushed red before sighing and adjusting her t-shirt.

Did she do this on purpose? No, of course not. She was asleep. More importantly, she would die from overheating if she even thought such ideas. Eiichi chuckled at his own thoughts.

But now that his fingers had brushed against her smooth skin for the barest of the second, Eiichi couldn't but think about their relationship.

They had been dating for months now. It had been going smoothly too, except that they couldn't enjoy each other's company for the past three months. They never talked about taking their relationship to the next stage, nor they ever tried to. Heck, they never even thought of it before; until this idea suddenly intruded itself in Eiichi's mind. He was too sure and ready to bet anything that Catarina never ever thought about this for the slightest bit. She was too innocent.

Eiichi knew they weren't ready. He wasn't perfectly ready for such a huge step. And the theory that she was ready was absolutely absurd, baseless and ridiculous. He knew how innocent she was. A mere kiss caused her to blush furiously and something more would be too much for her to handle. Not that he would be able to take that huge step now. It wasn't the right time yet.

The tiredness of the day kicked in and caused Eiichi to feel sleepy. His eyes trailed to her lips. As to not wake her, he carefully left a quick and light kiss on her lips. He smiled at the sensation of her soft lips of his.

One thing Eiichi was dead sure about, he loved Catarina with all his heart. She crept inside his heart without any of them realizing. Each moment spent with her was precious to him.

But conflicting emotions arose inside him when he thought of all the times he had to cancel their plans. He knew she was hurt but never uttered anything. Deciding to not ponder over these any longer, he let out a sigh.

"Sweet dreams,angel."

.  .  .  .  .  .  .

". . . ." Catarina stayed silent.

"What's wrong?"Nagi asked.

" I never knew one could even name a song according to their name," She said with slightly widened eyes. "I'm....surprised and impressed."

"Obviously you are. I am a genius after all."

"That you are." Catarina giggled. "Not to forget that you are the universe's cutest idol."

"That's right!"

"Good luck at the recording." The female ruffled his salmon pink hair a little bit. The boy got up.

"I'll show you what the ultra super cute idol can do." Nagi grinned.

Catarina gave Nagi a thumbs up, the grin ever present on her face. However she was unaware of the shock that would hit her in a few days.
