"(Y/n)! It's just Keigo coming over! You don't need to give the house a new makeover!"

Ignoring my sisters jab, I fluff up another pillow on the couch while trying to keep my cool. My mind running a hundred miles as I try to make sure that everything is perfect for the evening about to come. The stress of having my first boyfriend come over my house for the first time clouding my mind as I scrub at the coffee table to try and get the two year old coffee stain off. A whine leaves my lips as the stain refuses to budge, a pout playing on my lips as I dig my nails into the stain to try and pick it off instead but, to no avail, will it budge.

Refusing to help me, and being a real bitch about it, Amai sits snottily on the armchair in her boyfriends lap with a little giggle. My older sister arching a brow as I dust the tv, watching as I dart across the room to pick up the empty takeaway boxes from lunch time to place in the garbage. Snuggled behind her, resting his head on my sisters shoulder, sat Arata. The male chuckling gently as he watches me frantically try to clean the house without strangling my sister every ten seconds.

Biting my lip, I stand in the doorway of the living room to make sure everything is in place, clicking my tongue as I check the pillows before hissing as Amai goes to open her mouth again. Without a second thought, I grab a pillow and catapult it toward my sister. Hitting her in the face making her gasp and stare at me with daggers in her eyes while her boyfriends shoulders shake with laughter. Amai's hair flying everywhere due to the static of the pillow. The girl glares toward her boyfriend who instantly bites his lip still smiling goofily at what just happened.

"Why don't you clean the house when I come and visit huh?" Arata asks with a small playful pout, chuckling as Amai hits his arm with glare and rolls her eyes as she watches me grab the feather duster and begin dusting the corners o the room with a hum, "Don't be mean to her, she's trying to make a good impression for him, I'm sure you used to do that for me,"

"Seriously? So it's okay for her to throw a pillow at me?" Amai hisses, glaring toward her boyfriend who gives her the eyes, "Don't look at me like that,"

"I will, stop being a dick to your sister because you don't like her boyfriend," he lectures, poking her nose gently making her frown and scoff, looking back toward me as I pull out a couple of bags of candy from the kitchen and set them on the coffee table ready, "She really likes him and he must like her too, quit being a spoil sport and let them have their fun,"

"Or what?" She asks looking toward him, narrowing her eyes making me groan as I stand there with my arms crossed over my chest with a small sigh, "Don't you huff,"

"I will, you ruin this evening for me and I'm moving out," I threaten, watching as she glares at me with wide eyes and pushes herself to her feet, "I'm not having you ruin the first relationship I've ever had, you've treated him badly ever since we started dating and I've had enough! He hasn't treated me badly once! So either you get your act together or I move out!"

"And where are you going to go?" Amai asks, glaring toward me, daggers in her eyes as I return the same look with my hands on my hips, "Hm? Go back living with ma?"

"Nope, I'll move in with Keigo or I'll get my own place," I hum simply, sending her a small smile with a giggle, watching as her face contorts into horror, "I have enough money in my savings for a deposit on a home, or even pay rent. I don't need to live with you, Amai,"

"Fine!" Amai hisses, glaring toward me as she slumps into her boyfriends lap who praises her and kisses her cheek gently making her whine and scoff gently, "You're lucky I love you,"

Rolling my eyes, I run my fingers through my hair and head upstairs to freshen myself up quickly. Gently spraying some perfume on before brushing my hair and putting deodorant on. Wanting to look and be as presentable and as gorgeous as I possibly can. Excitement bubbling away in my stomach as the clock slowly ticks forward to the time that Keigo promised he'd be here. A big goofy grin playing on my lips as I do a little spin in front of the mirror and clap my hands gently.

Ding dong!

Squealing to myself, like a girl hosting their very own sleepover, I race down the stairs to the front door before Amai or Arata can even react. My heart erratically thumping in my chest with excitement as I grab the front door key and unlock it.

Smiling, I pull the door open to reveal my blonde boyfriend clad in his civilian outfit. A rather tight fitting white shirt which showed off his drool worthy abs with some ripped denim jeans. The male standing happily on my porch with a grocery bag and a bouquet of my favourite flowers. A crooked charming smile plays on his lips making me giggle and wrap my arms around him, pressing a soft kiss to his cheek with a hum. After handing me the bouquet, Keigo winks toward me before I beckon him in with a bright smile.

"Hey gorgeous," he coos, pressing a gentle kiss to my lips before following me into the home and shutting the door behind me. I head into the kitchen to place the flowers into a vase beside skipping into the living room with him in tow. He sets the grocery bag down on the couch and hugs me from behind, nuzzling his face into my neck with a hum, "How was your day off? Get up to much?"

"Not really no, just spent the day cleaning," I reply, wrapping my arm around his neck to look up at him, smiling as he leans in for another kiss to which I happily reciprocate, "How was patrol? Anything happen?"

"Just a couple of muggers... nothing too special," Keigo explains chuckling before pulling away and picking up the grocery bag to show me the contents with a cheeky smile, "So, I got us a couple things for tonight. Got some snacks, some fluffy blankets that would go great in your room and I also bought you a slushie, I didn't know what flavour you liked so I got you a mixed one,"

"Awww, thank you," I coo, kissing his cheek as I take the cold beverage from my boyfriend and gently suck the straw, a happy hum leaving my lips as the icy goodness fills my mouth and bursts with flavour, "You're so sweet,"

After adding the bought snacks to the growing pile on the coffee table, Keigo sends a smile toward Amai, nodding toward Arata before following me to the kitchen. The blonde leans against the kitchen counter with a little crooked smirk while I open up one of the drawers to pull out one of the many takeout menus we possess. He flicks part of his fringe out of his face as he watches me. His hands holding the edge of the counter as he leans against it, his leg crossing over the other.

Already knowing that he'd want fried chicken, I pull out the menu and set it beside him with a small smile. A giggle leaving my lips as I notice his yellow eyes twinkle with glee as he checks out the menu while licking his lips. The male rubbing his hands together as he points toward a bucket of chicken that we could share with one another.

Once ordered, Keigo and I make our way to the living room and take a seat on the couch, Amai watching us like a hawk as we sit down. Keigo sits down first, making himself comfortable before patting the space beside him, to which I happily join him and lean into his hold as he wraps his arm around me. He holds me close and intertwines our fingers when we're comfortably situated.

However, with Amai staring at us like she is, I could feel the blonde hero shifting nervously under her gaze. His eyes would constantly look around the room as if to try and avoid looking toward her to cause anything.

"Man... you can cut the awkwardness in here with a knife," Arata, foolishly, points out, wincing as Amai hits him in the chest with a glare, "Just saying, baby,"

"Maybe... maybe me coming over wasn't a good idea," Keigo hums gently, sighing gently as he gently sets me off and pulls away before pushing himself to his feet, "I don't want to ruin your relationship with your sister... it's not fair of me to do that to you... I — I'll just... leave..."

"W — wait..." I call out, biting back tears as my stomach coils uncomfortably, my eyes widening slightly as he grabs his jacket from the other armchair and drapes it around his shoulders, "Keigo... don't go... please..."

"Maybe we can try another night, baby... maybe you come to my place instead," he offers, pressing a kiss to my cheek before clearing his throat and leaving the house without another word. The door slamming shut, the sound echoing around the room.

My heart shatters as I look down in my lap and bite back a sob. A tight feeling yanking at my chest as I hunch over my lap and blink back tears, trying not to break down. Curling my hands into fists, I dig my nails into the plush cushion of the couch and bite back another sob. Clenching my eyes shut. Refusing to allow myself to cry. My shoulders shaking as I do so.

God... this hurts so much...

Taking a deep breath, unable to stop the sniffles leaving my nose, I wipe my teary eyes with my sleeves and clear my throat. A shaky sigh leaving my lips as I grab all of the bags of candy and dump them on Amai's lap making her look up at me worried.

"(Y—"

"Don't," I hiss, cutting her off with a small sniffle, wiping my eyes. Cursing under my breath as unwanted tears begin rolling down my cheeks without my want, "I'm going to my room... enjoy your evening..."

"But —"

"I said don't!" I exclaim, glaring toward Amai before running my fingers through my hair and storming upstairs to my room. A sob finally leaving my lips as I slam my door shut and crumple against the door, holding my hands to my chest as I cry to myself.

Sniffling gently, I trudge to my bed and face plant onto it. I bury my face into my pillow, clutching it tightly to my person as I sob. My body curling in on itself as I cry. Another slam rips through the house making me jump, a small sniffle leaving my lips as I look down in my lap and squeeze my eyes as tight as I can.

Why couldn't I just be happy for once?...

******************

A small groan leaves my lips as my eyes flutter open. My head pounding as I slowly sit up from my tear stained pillow and rub my eyes gently, a huff leaving my lips as I remember what happened just hours ago... just thinking about it made my heart squeeze uncomfortably. My stomach tightening in anxiety as I slip off my bed and take a deep breath. Tiredly, I stretch my arms over my head and release a shaky, bated breath. My mind running all over the place as I check my appearance and the mirror and groan to myself.

I must have fallen asleep...

My whole face was blotchy. My eyes bloodshot, with bags hanging from below. My eyelashes felt clumpy and heavy. Nose all dried with snot and my whole face sodden with tears. God, I hate crying.

Cursing under my breath, I walk toward the bathroom and turn the tap on with a small hum. Once I grab a rag from the bathroom cabinet, I soak it in water and gently wash away the tears. Washing my face. Trying to make myself feel more refreshed instead of feeling like a zombie who's died four times or feeling like someone who's been ran over by the husband stabbed in the heart twenty three times. After making sure I don't look like I've walked two hours in the rain, I take a deep breath and make my way downstairs.

"Amai, you know I wouldn't hurt her... not intentionally. But don't let her suffer for it,"

Halting in my tracks, I frown to myself. What was going on? Was that Keigo? Why was he here? I thought he left? Why did he come back? Did Amai bring him back? Did he come back on his own to give Amai a piece of his mind?... Maybe I should actually see what's going on instead of spiralling. However, being the nosy nelly that I was, I stay at the top of the stairs and listen in. Trying to keep my sniffles to a minimum.

"I know! I know! I just..." I hear Amai begin, I could sense my older sister frantically moving and rubbing the back of her neck nervously, "I'm just worried you're gonna hurt her again... I... and... I just... ended up... hurting her..."

"Look, Amai, your sister is the best thing that's ever happened to me," Keigo replies. A small warm feeling bursts through my chest as I hear him say it, a silent giggle leaving my lips as I try to find the will not to cry again, "She's fun, she's cute, she's the most sweetest girl I know and I'm not just saying that because she's my girlfriend. She's amazing and I just want to be with her... look, I know that maybe you and I may still not see eye to eye but can we at least try to get along for her? I really think we could go somewhere..."

"Okay... okay... I trust you," Amai hums, taking a deep breath. I could sense the girl puttering to herself already, "But I'm not doing this for you... I'm doing it for her... and if you ever try hurting her —"

"I know, I know," Keigo dismisses her, waving his hand toward her with a charming smile and a chuckle, "You'll rip my wings off and shove them down my throat, I know the drill,"

"Look... I'm really sorry for... for earlier," Amai admits, I could hear her feet scuffing against the carpet of the living room. She was probably holding her hands behind her back, "(Y/n) and I did chat before you came here... but I just... I still couldn't..."

"Hey, it's fine, it's not me you should be apologising to," Keigo hums, the male leant against the bottom of the stairs and looks up them before back to Amai before doing a double take and grins playfully toward me, "Hey baby, how was your nap? Are you okay?"

"Y — yeah... I'm okay," I reply, heading down the stairs and wrapping my arms tightly around his neck, pulling him as tightly as I can to me and burying my face into his neck with a small sniffle, "Don't scare me like that... I — I don't think I could take it..."

"Aww... you getting all soft?" Keigo teases, peppering the side of my face with kisses as he hoists me into his arms and pulls me just as tightly to him with a small smile before laughing as I flick his forehead with a teary eyed pout, "I'm sorry baby, I won't do that again,"

"Good," I mumble into his neck, taking a deep breath and smiling to myself as I snuggle close to him, trying to get as much Keigo as I can, "So are you gonna stay tonight?"

"Yeah, I'm staying," Keigo reassures me, rubbing my back and gently rocking the pair of us as soon as he sits down on the couch, the male then kisses my temple and squeezes me gently. He gently takes my face in his hands and wipes my eyes, "You hungry?"

"Yeah," I reply gently, leaning into his hands with a weak smile and giggling as he kisses my nose before pulling out the bucket from the coffee table, "Thank you,"

"Anything for you baby," he hums, holding a chicken wing to my lips and feeds it to me as we cuddle up on the couch as close as we can. Keigo, of course, finding it adorable that I'm clinging to him like a koala bear, "Love you, okay? Wouldn't ever wanna leave you,"

"You what?..." Amai pipes up, staring at Keigo with wide eyes while I look up at him with a small sniffle, a small smile playing on my lips as I realise what Keigo had just said, "What did you say?..."

"I said that I love her, gotta clean out your ears Amai," Keigo hums, pointing to his ears with a playful grin making my sister narrow her eyes gently, "I told you, she's my girl,"

"You... you love me?..." I ask gently, staring at him with a small smile, blushing as he nods and kisses my forehead gently, "Really?"

"Really, really, baby bird," he reassures me, laughing as I tackle him across the sofa into the biggest hug I can, nuzzling my head into his neck with a big smile on my lips as he traps me into a tight bear hug, "I love you,"

"I love you too," I reply gently, pushing myself up so we're looking into each other's eyes before I close my eyes and press my lips against his, a smile playing on my lips as he returns it. Slowly, we pull away and smile toward each other resting our foreheads together, "Just don't pull that shit,"

"I promise you, I will not," Keigo hums, kissing my cheek before adjusting our position slightly so we're spooning on the couch. Me, of course, being the little spoon and Keigo holding me tightly to his form as the big spoon, "Now, what movie do you wanna watch baby bird? Tonight, we do whatever you want,"

Smiling to myself, I pick out on of my favourite movies and snuggle up to my boyfriend. Who loves me! Taking a small breath, I relax in Keigo's arms, allowing his warmth to spread across to me. My stomach happily swirls with fluttering butterflies and my heart beats excitedly in my chest. Oh my god! I can't believe he loves me! Keigo loves me!

We're in love!

Before we get too engrossed in the movie, Amai clears her throat to catch my attention. My eyes widening slightly as I see my sister nervously playing with the hem of her blouse. I've never seen Amai so nervous before. Usually, she doesn't really let anything affect her unless Arata has done something or they've gotten into an argument... she's never been that soft with me... never...

"Look, (Y/n)... I'm really sorry," she begins, trying to maintain eye contact as she leans into her boyfriend for support. Arata whispering soft words of praise in her ear to tell her to keep going, "I — I didn't mean to make him leave and I just got really worried... I understand if you want to move out... it was really shitty of me to do that to you when you're happy,"

"Are you two gonna get along?" I ask, looking between my boyfriend and my sister who wholeheartedly nod while sending me a face that says that they'll try, "Okay, I forgive you... just don't do it again. Keigo makes me really happy,"

"Awww, you're so sweet baby bird,"...

"Don't think you can worm your way in, I'm still mad at you for leaving,"...

"Wha — okay... I'll give you cuddles all night long and I'll make you dinner,"...
