It's already been a week and Riku decides that she wants to go back. Of course her brothers didn't immediately let her but she convinced them that she's fine and can't be absent any more or it'll be trouble.

Mana and Nara Friends have sufficient time to come yesterday but have to go back immediately because they're busy. They came by also to tell Mana and Nara to go back to work because they're not just ordinary celebrities and it's more difficult to cover their absence. And that's Riku's big reason to go back.

That night Riku called Iori and told him about her plan to come back tomorrow.

“When will you be back? Are you sure you feel better? What if you're still not and just troubling us when you're back?” Said Iori plainly even though he'll lie if he says he's not happy when he hears this.

“Why do you have to be rude to me?” Said Riku sullenly. “cute” whispered Iori which got a question hummed from Riku.

“It's nothing” denied him, “and Akihiro-san, may I know what you told Kujo-san about me?”

“Hm? I didn't tell him anything besides I already talked with you. Something's wrong?” Asked Riku curious.

“Yes, something is wrong and I don't know why but Kujo-san's demeanor toward me is colder than before. And if I quote back, ‘don't you dare to make a move on her’” complained Iori

“Eh? I'm sorry for him then. I'll make sure to talk with him about this later” said Riku didn't quite understand

“You better be, his mouth is sharpest to me and we can't be in the same room without arguing,” said Iori, sounding a little upset which made Riku laugh nervously.

There is a knocked on Iori door followed by Tamaki voice, “Iorin, Mikki made cupcakes for all of us and he want me to get you”

“Is that Tamaki?” Asked Riku excitedly, “and did he just say cupcakes? No fair~ I also want Mitsuki’ cupcakes” whine Riku at the end.

Iori sighs at her behavior, “Really Akihiro-san? You're so childish” stated Iori before he smiled a little, “but I feel sorry for you for not being able to taste Nii-san’ cupcakes…” said him a little dramatically but still in a monotone voice.

It makes Riku more fed up, “hmph, aren't you the one who is being childish right now?”

“I refused to believe such a lie” exclaimed Iori. Riku almost protested more but the voice of the door being opened stopped her.

“Iorin you're too long, who'd you talk with?” Asked Tamaki, who was already inside his room. Iori turn to him but his phone still hidden from Tamaki sight, “ah, sorry Yotsuba-san” said him before turn to Riku again, “Akihiro-san, I think we-”

Before Iori can finish his sentence, Tamaki is already behind him and takes a look at his phone, “eh? Is that Rikkun? Rikkun, is that you?” Asked him hopefully.

“Tamaki, it's been a long time,” greeted Riku cheerfully. Tamaki comes closer and places both his hand on Iori's shoulders and his head on his side, “Rikkun, I really miss you. When are you gonna come back here?” asked Tamaki happily.

Riku placed his index finger on her mouth and winked, “that's a secret” said her playfully.

“Eeehhh…” whine Tamaki pouting.

“Did you plan to go back in time, Akihiro-san?” Asked Iori.

Riku glint, “are~ did I just hear you sound so happy Iori?” asked her teasingly. Iori eyes slightly widen and he turn his head from the screen, “i'm no-”

“Riku you sly~ Iorin blushing really red right now. See take a look here” said Tamaki playfully while trying to make Iori face the screen back.

“Yotsuba-san, stop saying nonsense. I'm not blushing” denied Iori getting away from his grip.

“Iori/Iorin tsundere” said Tamaki and Riku in chorus before giggling make Iori feel more embarrassed.

He stood and accidentally let his phone go, making Tamaki have to hold it by himself. “I'm not, Yotsuba-san let's go before we run out of Nii-san delicious cupcakes. Just leave Akihiro-san here” said Iori and if they're not known long enough, Riku or Tamaki will not notice a little pout on his mouth.

Riku smiles a little before changing to pout, “Tamaki~ Iori being mean to me. I also want the cupcakes” sued Riku.

Tamaki closed his eyes and nodded his head several times, “let's ignore the meanie Rikkun. He's not just mean but also a cheater, how can he talk with you all this time without letting us know?” Complained Tamaki, which got a protest from Iori.

Tamaki ignored him and looked at Riku with sparkling eyes, “talking about the others, you have to talk with them too” said him before running out of the Iori room. Iori wants to stop him but he's too late, “Yotsuba-san, where do you think you're going? Give back my phone” demanded Iori to try to chase him but before he could, they were already at the dining room.

“Ah, Iori, what took you so long? And why are you two running?” Asked Mitsuki. Before Iori can answer him, Tamaki interrupt him, “Iorin is cheating”

“I'm not” denied Iori immediately, “Yotsuba-san please stop saying something that cause a misunderstanding”

Riku can't see the scene because Takamaki hides her view.

“You are '' said Tamaki stubbornly, “look who he has been talking with without we knowing” said him showing Iori’ phone which displayed Riku who was waving at them while laughing nervously.

They stare at the phone before Nagi suddenly faces it closely, “Riku, I really miss you. How'd you have been?” Asked him happily. Tamaki pulled the phone away and he set it on the table while the others gathered around it.

“I miss you too Nagi, not just you but actually really miss you all and I'm doing fine here” exclaimed Riku with a big smile.

“Iori you little cheater, how can you talk with her and not tell us?” Said Mitsuki jokingly while ruffling his hair roughly. Iori tried to get away from his brother.

“I'm not Nii-san, she barely called me last night,” stated Iori.

“Ah, is that why your mood seems good these days?” Sogo didn't realize what he just said. Iori feels more embarrassed when the others woo him while Riku just smiles and doesn't catch what's wrong.

“Forget about Iorin, Rikkun said she'll be back,” said Tamaki excitedly. They're eyes widen for a moment before they cheer happily, “when are you gonna back Riku-kun?” Asked Sogo with a soft smile.

“That's the problem Sou-chan” said Tamaki before Riku can answer him, “she won't to tell when”

“Eh? Why? Perhaps you want to surprise us?” Asked Yamato teasingly.

“Yamato-san, now that you stated that it won't be much of a surprise anymore” whined Riku which made the other laugh.

“You okay now Riku? You'll back that's mean you're not being wary again right?'' Mitsuki was slightly worried.

“I'm fine now Mitsuki. Sorry for making you all worried and sorry for being a burden and all the trouble I cause” said Riku guilty.

“Oh Riku, you don't need to feel sorry. We worried because we care and love you so don't say that you're a burden for us. We're family, remember?” Said Nagi sweetly

Riku's eyes are glossy and Mitsuki slaps Nagi’ back, “baka, you made her cry” scolded him even though it's different from the smile he shows.

Riku laughs lightly and they continue to talk with each other. Riku gets a glance at the cupcake, “is that Mitsuki’s cupcakes? How unfair, I also want that. Mitsuki pastries always taste really good and now I can't taste it when you all have” said Riku sullenly.

Mitsuki laughs, “I feel honored for your compliments, but you don't have to worry. I'll make it anytime for you” said Mitsuki with a big grin while showing his thumb.

“Mitsuki, you're the best,” said Riku with a big grin. They continue talking and forget about the cupcakes Mitsuki made. Not long, the front door opened and a voice being heard, “Tadaima”

Sogo answered Trigger who just finished their jobs. “What are you guys doing?” Gaku raised his eyebrow when he saw all the I7 members gathered around the table.

Ryuu takes a glint of what is in the middle, smiles brightly, “Riku, it's nice to see you” said him walking to them and greeted Riku who greeted him back, “same like me Ryuu-san” while smiling more brightly.

Gaku approached them too and greeted Riku before asking, “you feel better, Akihiro?”

Riku smiles softly, “thank you for asking Gaku-san. I'm more than fine now, sorry if I made you worried and for all the trouble I cause”

Gaku wave her off, “nah, don't think about it too much”

Tenn who already next to him smile at Riku, “nice to see your smile again Riku”

Riku's face brightens up, “ah, Tenn-nii. It's also nice to see you again” said her cheerfully.

“Eh? Aren't you two calling each other every time Tenten has free time?” Asked Tamaki confused.

Tenn nodded at him, “we did, but she never video call me”

“How come? Isn't it strange?” Asked Nagi which made all of them confused. What's strange with that? When they said it Nagi acted like a detective, “think about this, Riku is already in touch with Tenn by calling him for..” He looked at the two to confirm it and Tenn said four days, “...four days. And she barely called Iori yesterday but already used a video call to him” explained him.

The other thought about what he said and somehow Iori felt embarrassed, “I think Nagi is right” commend Mitsuki in the end and it made all the eyes on Iori who misbehaved, “w-what?”

“I'm on your side Nagiichi, Mikki” said Tamaki following Nagi detective mode, “when I called Iorin before they had already video called and I heard Iorin laugh, not loud but sure that was suspicious. I mean this Iorin, the tsundere Iorin to laugh softly like that…'' he clenched his eyes as he looked at Iori, “don't tell me that you two-”

“Yotsuba, you better not finish whatever you want to say” cutted Tenn with a deep voice and when Tamaki looked at him, his face covered by the bangs and looked dark. Tamaki's detective mode slowly disappears and he starts to tremble before hiding into Sogo seeking protection. The other also slowly inched away from him.

Yamato cleared his throat, “oya? You're jealous, Kujo?” Asked him, smirking and much to all of them surprised, he's not deny it.

“I can't deny that” said him flatly before look at Iori sharply, “but there is something that make me more pissed with this guy” said him pressed the ‘this guy’

Iori's eyes narrowed, “what do you mean by ‘this guy’ Kujo-san? You sound so unpleasant by me”

“Good that you noticed!” Said Tenn sarcastically. The other just sighs seeing this, it's already happened since yesterday and no one knows Tenn’ reason that makes him pissed with Iori.

“Tenn-nii stop being mean to Iori. I heard that you were mean to him, what his mistake that made you upset?” Scold Riku to Tenn.

Tenn just turn his head, “so he told you huh? complainant”

“What?”

“Tenn-nii stop it” Riku just sighs when he just ignores him. She looks at Iori and smiles and apologizes, “Sorry Iori, Tenn-nii can be so stubborn if he wants,” she said guiltily.

“You don't need to say sorry for your brother's childish behavior, Akihiro-san,” Iori said sarcastically. Tenn just looked at him with narrowing eyes.

The people with them just sigh, “Tenn, can you at least tell us why you are pissed with Iori-kun? And Iori-kun please don't pay any attention when Tenn said something harsh, he just wasn't good at showing his feelings” begged Ryuu who felt tired of them.

The others try to pry the answer from Tenn too. Riku who just watches them also thinks about what might cause Tenn to be pissed with Iori. She blinked when something came to her mind.

“Nee, Tenn-nii” called Riku which not just gained Tenn attention but also the other, “are you by any means jealous and pissed with Iori because I said that I like him?” Asked her innocently without realizing that she just dropped a bomb.
