Michio awoke early the next morning to his twin sister snuggled up against him. Of course she wouldn't have given him space, Michio wasn't surprised at all. He couldn't help but let out a small sigh, absentmindedly playing with Mika's hair. She'd never understand the concept of siblings staying just siblings.

Soon, Michio got up out of his bed and pulled the blankets off of his sister. "Time to get up, Mika! C'mon, you have school."

Mika hissed at the sudden rush of cold air and curled into a fetal position before blinking up at Michio. "You sound like mom...."

"Yeah, and mom's always right." Michio responded. "So go get ready."

"Okay..." Mika muttered. "Whatever you say, Michi."

Michio didn't even get three steps into the classroom before Natsumi rushed over to him, a notebook and pen in hand.

"I hate having to ask a fuckboy, but you're friends with Kobayashi, right?" Natsumi asked.

Michio inwardly groaned but nodded anyways. "Yeah, why?"

"I know she went on a date, but with who?" Natsumi answered, "This is hot news! You gotta know something!"

Michio shook his head, a small smirk appearing on his face. "I do know, but I'm not gonna tell you."

"Fuck..." Natsumi muttered, sending the guitar player a glare. "Of course you won't tell me, why am I not surprised?"

"W-well, it is kind of private..." Riku softly spoke up.

Natsumi turned towards the blue haired boy, now repositioning her glare to him. "Shut up, I'm a journalist, it's my job. I'll... I'll..." She paused for a second to think. "I'll... stab you with a fork if you don't keep quiet!"

Riku quickly nodded. "Y-yes! Sorry!"

"Hanazawa-kun already doesn't talk much, you shouldn't be so harsh, Natsumi-chan..." Katashi said, walking over to them.

Natsumi's green eyes widened before she let out a nervous laugh. "Oh, Katashi-kun, I didn't know you were here already...."

"Well, I am... I know you're just doing what you're used to, but I'd appreciate it if you didn't try to invade my friend's private life so much..." Katashi said with a sweet smile.

Natsumi gave a small nod. "Sorry about that, I might've gotten a little carried away!"

Michio still couldn't help but be impressed by how quickly Katashi could tame the beast. Once he finally got to his seat, Mitsuo entered the class and the first lesson started.

After a painfully long lesson, it was finally time for lunch. Michio was sitting at the fountain between the school buildings with Kazuki and Jikkō sitting at either side of him.

"I bet you heard about Satchiko's date," Kazuki started, "She actually called me last night to ask 'how to romance'. She thought I'd be good at it because I've written romance...."

Michio laughed a bit. "You might be, but I think you're too awkward to actually go through with it." He replied, immediately receiving a light punch to the shoulder.

"I can be very romantic if I want to be." Kazuki scoffed.

"Then... can I have a demonstration?" Michio asked teasingly.

Jikkō let out a sigh. "All of your flirting is driving me insane, just kiss already or something..." She muttered.

"Jikkō-san!" Kazuki's cheeks turned red.

Michio laughed a bit. "A-anyways, Satchiko called me last night too to ask what colour would look better on her."

Jikkō slowly shook her head. "If she wanted it to be a secret, she's doing a terrible job."

Before anyone could say more, a certain short pink haired girl approached the group. She wore a sweet smile, offering Kazuki a small wave before turning to Michio.

"Hey Zetami-kun, I wanted to talk to you... it's about the assignment we just got." Momo said, twirling a strand of her long hair. "Can I steal you for a minute?"

Michio nodded, standing up. "Sure, no problem."

As Momo led him away from the group, Michio was sure that this wasn't about their assignment. Even though he was over a foot taller than the fragile looking girl, Michio couldn't help feeling intimidated.

Once they were far enough so no one would hear, they stopped, and Momo turned to face him. "You know what this is about, don't you? I already spoke to you before, but I don't think it really sank in."

Michio nodded. "Yeah, I know, Kazuki's yours, you called him first."

Momo shook her head, her smile never leaving. "Oh, it's much more than that, Zetami. We're going to get married, have a life together, and he will only have eyes for me. You're in the way of that." She paused, letting out a small giggle. "Your career is pretty fragile, y'know. If word got out that you harassed a poor, innocent voice actress...."

Michio's eyes widened. "You wouldn't."

"That's the least I could do~." Momo replied in a singsong voice. "I know about your sister too~. What if something were to happen to her?"

"I won't let you anywhere near Mika." Michio growled. "I won't make a move on Kazuki, okay?"

"Good." Momo replied. "You better not~."
