"Oi! Don't just chase me like that idiot!" A brunette said, gently smacking the younger male who was currently letting out a bit of laughter. Sakata of course never did mind trying to play around with the emerald-eyed male once and a while with both Senra and Shima. They enjoyed teasing the older male after all. But even so, Shima would also be the one teasing Senra most times compared to both Urata and Sakata. To him, the blonde was just also just as enjoyable to tease.

Taking the beige colored hat off the the younger golden-eyed male, Shima gave him a beaming smile. Despite this though, the other could only just playfully punch Shima's chest in a gleeful manner, asking his friend to give back his dear beloved hat that was previously given to him.

Aside from this, Lon and Kuro were both chatting with Anku, both wanting to keep the other some company after noticing his dim mood. Of course though, the blonde was greatful towards the two girls for this. They were enjoying their time, talking about their interests and close friends. A normal conversation with them was nice for Anku. Especially now after worrying a bit after Shonen's sudden absence. Though he figured that the male was taking care of a few things.

If anything though, it was Araki and Naruse who were both making the blonde study. Despite the countless denial of Luz not wanting to study, somehow the other two had managed to catch him before he could even run away from them. Of course, this was something the lavender-eyed male would never allow anyone to see. But with his two good friends, it was fine.

Though from afar was both Amatsuki and Kashitarou, both inside watching the rest for the window. The two brunettes were currently having their cup of tea as they smiled from watching the rest. The inside of the house was peaceful, the style of the interior had even fit the description as well.

As he then placed down the fragile white colored cup, Amatsuki had a faint pained smile on his face. This was something the red-eyed brunette wouldn't normally do so this had obviously put Kashitarou to slight worry.

"Is something wrong?" He asked, placing his cup of tea down as well. The brunette didint enjoy seeing his beloved like this after all. They've been friends for the longest they could remember, and now that the two were in a relationship, Kashitarou had already known the red-eyed male very well. Well, more than anyone else to say the least.

He then tried reaching out towards him before trying to touch his hand gently to comfort him. Looking at the brunette in front of him, Amatsuki then smiled before he began to hold the male's hand in a more happier loving manner.

"It's just that... I can't help but feel guilty Kashi." He said, trying to feel better as he held the other's hand tighter. It was warm, comforting even. Though despite this, Kashitarou then began to question why, but when he thought about it, he already knew the idea on why he did.

"Was it right lie this entire time to them-? When it was us who knew about what happened?" He asked, feeling the drops of years falling off his cheeks. This only led Kashitarou to use his free hand to gently wipe off the tears from the brunette.

"I know... But you know what happened last time we tried to even say something, Amatsuki."

"Soraru-san! Let's go over here!" A certain albino said, pointing over to a shop were they sold sweets. But to this, the ravennette had already given up from even trying to deny the angel.

"And this is why I regret giving you anything sweet...." The swordman said, mumbling as he pretty much let himself get dragged around. Though to his surprise, he didint mind this too much. Instead he began to slowly smile.

After the two reached to the store, Mafu began eyeing the sweets of chocolates that were in the small boxes. There was an old lady, smiling at the two before she stood up. "Is there anything you two would like?" She asked.

Before the angel could really ask the ravennette on what he wanted, Soraru instead began to point on the box of chocolates that his friend was pointing at from before. "We would like to have two box of chocolates please." He said, handing in the amount of coins from him pouch. She then gave a warm smile towards the two before giving them a nod, "Of course."

It was weird, just from a simple smile. Especially from a stranger, the smile from the old woman had seemed familiar. He couldn't really put his finger on why.

After the kind woman returned, she gave the two the box of chocolates before she began to give them a wave.

"I wish you both have a good day."

The two looked at each other before deciding to wave back, "Thank you!" Mafu said, feeling grateful for the kind old lady who was good to them both.

Smiling at the two males who were leaving, the kind woman could only sit down as she mumbled out a few words.

"They've really grown up so much..."

Though as the two were walking, Mafu couldn't help but not only feel greatful for the seller, but he knew she wasn't the only one who Mafu wanted to thank, because he then turned towards the swordman who was walking beside him. To this he smiled, "Thank you, Soraru-san."

"Hm? For what?"

"For buying the boxes of chocolates!" He said as he kept his sweet smile towards the other male. Though Soraru could only give him a confused look.

"These are both for me though?"

"Eh?"

As the two only stared at each other, it had taken a few moments for the ruby-eyed male to process the older's words. "Eh?!"

"Soraru-san! Eh? But I thought-"

"Pfft- I'm only joking, jeez. Do you really think that I would eat two whole boxes of chocolate? Only you would do that."

"Eh? Would not!"

"Actually you would." Another's voice said which had caused the angel to look confused before looking to see both Eve and Sou. Though even to the blue-eyed male could laugh a little in agreement, "Eve-san is right, even I'm pretty sure you would Mafu-san."

As much as the albino had wanted to deny this, he began to think about it. Realizing that the three were right before he began to pout a little. "Okay, okay... You're right, I would."

Soraru on the other hand could only sigh before patting the younger's head, slightly hoping to make the angel feel better. Though he then stopped, not wanting to get teased like the last time he did something simple like this.

"Anyways, here. Mafu and I got a few chocolates for you guys." Soraru said as he began to hand the masked male a box for the two to have.

As the two were happily accepting the box, the two began to smile. Despite the only ones smile that was visible was Sou, the three already knew that their masked friend was smiling as well. Because if anything, Eve was someone who dearly enjoyed spending time with people he knew and felt comfortable around with.

Looking around, Mafu had spotted a spot from afar. He then happily pointed over towards a bench that was near a little pond where the cherry trees were at. It was like a little wooden deck, a perfect place to simply sit down and enjoy their boxes of sweets. "We could sit over there don't you think?"

Giving a nod, Sou then gave his response with another smile, "I think that's fine."

After they made sure that the two of their friends had agreed, the friends then began to walk over towards the little wooden deck before sitting down.

The water was at a beautiful shade of blue, but was also in a clear color to the point where they could even spot the colorful koi fish that were swimming around. But not only that, but they noticed a few cherry blossom petals that were on the water's surface.

The view was simply beautiful.

At this point though, they began to open the boxes of chocolates. Each sharing one box before they started to decide which to try first.

"Eve-san, which would you like?" Sou asked, giving his friend a chance to get the first chocolate. This of course made Eve want to insist on the other to get one first, but the blue-eyed male already knew very well that he wanted his masked friend to get the first instead. To this, Eve began to point to a chocolate that had a little green bow on the wrapper of the chocolate.

"This one?"

Giving the other a nod, Sou smiled before handing the chocolate to the male. The other began to smile underneath his mask again, thanking Sou before he started to unwrap the chocolate. Though with this, Eve stared at it before lifting up his mask a little before taking a bite.

"It's good..."

Giving a small laugh, Sou then began to gently pat the male's head, "I'm glad it is then!" He said in a warm manner. Though because of it, the other shyly turned away for a moment.

Why did he feel hurt all of a sudden?

Just from seeing his friend's smile and gentle warm manner made him want to run away. It made him want to cry. The many times he had wanted to desperately ask why, he never got an answer from himself. He felt so bitter, and the one to blame for that was himself only.

Despite this, he then began to talk more with Sou, wanting his friend to not notice his dim mood. He didin't want someone like the male to know of such feelings he had. Eve just only wanted to spend more time with Sou while he still could after all.

And that was fine by him.

Beside them on the other hand was Mafu trying to get the swordman to try a piece of chocolate. To which Soraru didin't really want to accept it as much. Trying to move his head the other way, the angel then puffed out his cheeks.

"Soraru-san, it's not right for me to try these first. Not when you were the one who paid for these..." He said, holding the little chocolate that had a blue bow on the wrapping.

"Yes but you were the one who wanted them, so I got them so you could have it as well Mafu." He explained before taking the chocolate as he began to unwrap it.

"But-"

To this, his sentence was interrupted from the older male. Soraru had shut the albino by putting the chocolate in his mouth in a quick manner. He then smirked, wanting to see the other's reaction before Mafu's cheeks had turned into a shade of red. But to make him feel better, Soraru then unwrapped a chocolate of his own before trying it himself. "They're good at least..."

"Eh? What's with the red face?"

Before the angel could give his response, Sou on the other hand was laughing a little along with Eve.

"You're not helping at all!" He cried, putting his hands to his face to hide his embarrassment. Thanks to this on the other hand, Eve then got an idea.

It was fine to this just once, right?

"Sou-kun, could you face me for a second?"

"Ah, of course! Was there something you needed Eve-san?" Sou asked, tilting his head slightly before the other unwrapped a chocolate.

"Just stay still."

Agreeing to this, he did. Though as shy as Eve was, this idea was something he too wanted to try. He slowly began to get near his dear friend before he tried feeding the other some chocolate. Which he did, but it was really Sou who noticed on what Eve wanted to do.

"You could've just asked me you know." He said, giving a little laugh. Thus making the other male turn red underneath his mask.

"Sometimes I wonder how Sou-kun earned so much trust towards him..." Mafu mumbled, but nevertheless, he was glad. He always knew that Eve wasn't really the most sociable of people. So seeing someone getting along with him perfectly was just refreshing to see for the least.

The day was going well, they were enjoying their time without any rush. Though they wondered how everyone else we're doing. Because even they wondered on how Urata was doing with his friend's endless amounts of teasing or the fact that a certain blonde had probably been forced to study.

So far, everything to them seemed perfect.

But from the inside of the house was the two brunettes who were on the bed of the room they were in. Kashitarou had his arms wrapped around the red-eyed male who was currently needing some more comfort. At this point of the day, it seemed that Amatsuki's guilt had gotten the best of him. And even so, the other would still shower him with love and care.

They meant the world to each other, and nothing could change that.

"Kashi...?"

"Yes, Amatsuki?"

Looking up to him, the male could only faintly smile before hugging his beloved tightly. "Thank you for everything, thank you for loving me the way you do." He said, feeling himself slowly fall asleep in the other's arms. Kashitarou simply smiled before placing a gentle kiss on the brunette's head, "Of course..."

"I'll always love you, Amatsuki."
