It was the day Mafu had been waiting for. Operation Get Urata Alone With Sakata. He was determined to get his brunette friend to notice Sakata's feelings, or at least get him to realize he likes Sakata.

Mafu got up with an eager smile on his face as he got ready to meet up with the others at the siblings' house. Along the walk there he thought of ways to get Urata to agree to partner up with Sakata.

Ah, I'll just use the puppy eyes if he decides to be stubborn. Mafu was skipping a step as he walked towards his destination. He knocked on the door, his red-haired friend opened it and was smiling at him.

"Hey Mafu." Sakata greeted the albino.

Mafu smiled back and as he entered their house he realized he was to first one to arrive. Mafu saw Soraru laying on the couch and greeted him.

"Hello Soraru."

The raven-haired male looked up from his phone to see Mafu. He gave a small smile and just waved before going back to his phone. The small gesture was enough to make Mafu blush already, Sakata just giggled to himself after seeing their interaction.

Mafu remembered something he needed to tell Sakata about his plan. Even if I get Urata to fall in love with Sakata, there's Soraru in the picture. Even though they made up, Mafu could still see that they have a small grudge against each other. Mafu went to Sakata and whispered in his ear.

"I have my plan ready to get you to be alone with Urata but what about Soraru? He isn't going to be happy with you being alone with him, right?"

Sakata widened his eyes in realization that his brother could be against his crush.

"I'll talk to him about it. I mean, niichan does need to know I have crush on Urata."

Sakata then walked up to his brother, who glanced up when he noticed the younger approach him.

"Niichan can I talk to you?"

"Sure—"

Soraru was cut off as Sakata grabbed his arm and dragged him into the kitchen. Soraru was startled a bit at being dragged and started to worry that his brother might not be okay.

"Are you okay Sakata?" Soraru worriedly asked once they entered the kitchen.

His little brother was fidgeting a bit when he noticed that he was looking down and twiddling his fingers , which usually meant the younger was nervous.

"Um..... niichan I have to tell you something...."

Soraru stayed silent as a way to let the redhead know to go on.

"I...um.... I-I l-like...."

Sakata had trouble putting his thoughts into words.

"Sakata are you ok—"

"ILIKEURATA!" Sakata quickly shouted before looking down again, a blush on his face.

He dared to look up and see Soraru silent, causing him to become even more nervous. A-Ah, he's probably ma....

"That's it? I'm happy for you Sakata."

These words caused Sakata to snap his head up to see his brother giving him a warm smile.

"You don't mind.....?"

Sakata was puzzled that his brother seemed fine with it. I thought....

"What, you want me to say that you can't date him. I'm not that cruel." Soraru sighed as he realized that his grudge towards the tanuki probably made Sakata think he wouldn't approve. He really is innocent. Soraru smiled as his brother was still trying to comprehend the situation.

"I've noticed you stare at him ever since we meet them, I'm not dense enough to not notice the atmosphere around you."

But you are dense in knowing that Mafu likes you, Sakata thought as he listened to his brother talk.

"I can see he makes you happy, and I want you to be with him if it makes you happy." Soraru smiled as tears began to appear in Sakata's eyes.

"Niichan....."

Sakata hugged his brother who returned the hug. He was really happy to know that he had an older brother that cared so much about him.

"But if he does anything that makes you cry, I WILL kill him." Soraru threatened as Sakata giggled at his brother's protectiveness.

"Wwww niichan is so overprotective."

"Shut up."

Soraru let got of his brother as he heard the door being knocked and they both returned to the living room. Mafu opened the door to see Shima and Senra arrive.

"Hey guys."
"Heyo."

"The lovebirds made it." Soraru teased the two as he went back to laying on the couch.

"Oi, you're only allowed to tease Urata."

Mafu laughed at Shima's comment. Soraru gave a small pout before laughing silently to himself.

"Yeah you're right. The others already tease you guys enough."

Now it was Shima's turn to pout.

"Oh right I remembered something. We never really said how we were going to get there."

Senra's comment caused them to come towards a realization.

"Right..... Can't we just take the train." Shima suggested which caused his boyfriend to sigh.

"You want to pay more for a train?"

"But none of us can drive."

As those words left Shima's mouth they all turned their heads to look at the oldest one in group. Soraru sighed and answered the question they didn't even have to ask, he knew what they were going to say.

"I'll drive us."

"Thanks Soraru."
"Thanks."
"Thanks niichan~~"

"You can bake, you can fight, you can cook, you can drive, is there anything you can't do Soraru?" Shima jokingly commented.

"Niichan can't go on roller coasters~~" Sakata teased his brother who bumped his head with his hand, resulting in the redhead to say 'ow.'

"Sakata," the redhead was rubbing his injured head as turned towards the albino that was whispering to him.

"Did you tell him?"

"Yep, niichan said that it's okay. He's happy for me." Sakata whispered back with a smile visible on his face.

Mafu smiled back at the redhead, Soraru noticed the two whispering.

"What are you guys whispering about?"

"Nothing niichan~"

Soraru rose his eyebrow at his brother's answer before deciding to not push any further.

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

"Urata and Ama-chan sure have been taking their sweet time."

It had been an hour since Shima and Senra had arrived and there was still no sign of the two brunettes.

"Of course Amatsuki would arrive late, it's not that unusual." Senra commented as he was sitting on the armchair.

"They probably over—"

As Shima was talking there was a knock at the door. Sakata went to open it and there they were, the two late people.

"Sorry we arrived late, I overslept..." Amatsuki sheepishly apologized.

"But don't just get mad at me, Urata also overslept." Amatsuki quickly said as he saw Mafu playfully glare and act angry at him.

"Oi, don't put the blame on me for your actions. Unlike you I was busy." The green-eyed brunette scolded the other brunette beside him.

"Busy doing what?" Amatsuki challenged the short male.

"I had to help someone around."

"That's—"

"Ama-chan just admit that you just forgot and overslept." Mafu was getting tired of their pointless banter.

"Sorry."

"Well now that we're here let's go. I want to make the most of today."

With that Sakata took the keys from Soraru's hand and went to start the car. Soraru just laughed at his brother's impatience and began to follow behind. Mafu decided to help the two brunettes catch up on what they missed.

"Soraru said he'd drive us to the amusement park."

"Soraru can drive!?" Amatsuki said shockingly.

"Does anything that I do surprise you that much?" Soraru was at the door when he heard Amatsuki's shock.

"Yes. This is you we're talking about."

Soraru glared at Amatsuki, who playfully hid behind Mafu like he was afraid, before he shook his head in exhaustion and went to his brother, who was already sitting in the passenger's seat.

The drive wasn't that long as the car ride was filled with chatter and excitement, mostly from Amatsuki, Mafu and Sakata. They're like children, Urata thought as he looked at his friends in amusement.

They finally made it to their destination and Sakata was the first one out. He was smiling, like an idiot, Urata thought, as he waited for the others to get off. Soraru was already tired of their excitement and energy, and the day didn't even start yet.

"We should make our groups." Mafu said as he glanced at Sakata, who understood what he meant.

"Why?" Amatsuki asked the albino.

"We have a group of seven and we won't be able to go on all the rides we want so we should split into groups of two. Well we're going to have one group of three." Mafu said as he had taken over the role as the leader and decider of the group.

"We'll join back with each other at like 6 pm so we can go to the boardwalk and play games."

The others agreed with the idea and Mafu inwardly smiled as he was proud of himself for thinking of a brilliant plan.

"So who goes with who?" Amatsuki asked before saying, "we all know Shima and Senra are going together so no point in separating them."

"Hey." Shima acted like he was hurt from the brunette's words as Amatsuki stuck his tongue out.

"Well that's decided, but what about you guys?" Senra asked the other five males.

"I can go with Maf—"

"Urata could go with Sakata." Mafu had cut Urata off as the said brunette looked at his albino friend like he had said the stupidest thing.

"Sure."

Sakata nodded his head, Soraru and Mafu could see a small blush beginning to cover his cheeks.

"That's fine." Soraru followed up Sakata's reply, causing the others to look at him bewildered.

"E-Eh? EH!? Soraru is okay with Sakata BEING ALONE WITH URATA?!?" Amatsuki exclaimed as Urata looked at the raven-haired with wide eyes.

"This is a surprise." Senra commented as Shima went to Urata and whispered in his ear.

"Looks like you got the brother's approval~~" He teased the brunette who smacked his head.

"Oi, don't be stupid." Urata shouted in a whispered tone as he tried to cover the small blush on his face. Shima's an idiot, as if I'd like the idiot.

"So does that mean the group of three is Mafu, Amatsuki and Soraru?"

Senra looked at the other three. Mafu was about to nod but Urata's voice stopped him.

"No. Mafu can come with us."

Mafu inwardly scowled at Urata's stubbornness. Urata, I'm trying to help Sakata and you're NOT helping.

"But I wanna be with Ama-chan~" Mafu hoped his reasoning could get his brunette friend to give up.

"Then Soraru..... can join us."

Urata didn't really like the idea but he'd rather swallow his pride just for a day than have Soraru be with Mafu. He still didn't trust the raven-haired male that much.

"Eh?" Soraru said, confused by the brunette's words.

He would've thought that Urata would want to be with Sakata alone. Soraru knew what Mafu had planned the moment he said they should split up and how Sakata had told him about his crush on the brunette. He decided to help the albino with his mission.

"You worry too much tanuki. Not like I'm going to kill him the moment we're alone. Plus Amatsuki is with us."

"So?"

"Please Urata~?"

Mafu pulled out the puppy eyes and Urata already knew he couldn't argue back anymore. Dammit Mafu, that idiot influenced you. Urata sighed in defeat as he glared at Soraru.

"Fine, but I will blame you if anything happens to him."

"Same thing to you, if Sakata gets hurt I won't forgive you."

Soraru returned the glare to Urata as Mafu laughed sheepishly at their antics. Sakata smiled at his brother for helping him. Niichan really is the best.

"So we'll meet each other at 6. See ya later guys."

Shima and Senra waved at them as they went to the right.

"Come on Urata I want to see if the line is long."

Sakata grabbed the brunette's arm and dragged him towards the direction of the ride he wanted to go on. Urata complied to the redhead's demand and allowed himself get dragged.

"Well I guess we should go." Amatsuki walked ahead with Mafu and Soraru following behind.

"That was sweet of you Soraru."

Mafu smiled at the raven-haired male as a thanks for helping him get Sakata and Urata alone.

"Sakata seems happy with the tanuki and who am I to take it away from him."

"You really are nice. The other students don't understand that."

"As long as Sakata understands how much he means to me then I don't care about what others think."

"Is there a reason you care so much for Sakata?"

Mafu had always wondered why. Maybe he just really likes his brother a lot and I'm just overthinking it.

"......."

Soraru became silent at Mafu's question, causing the albino to panic in fear that he had upset the raven-haired.

"A-Ah I'm sorry for asking something you might not want to answer."

Mafu was starting to get frantic as Soraru looked at him with a sad smile. How cute that he worries about other's feelings.

"Don't worry about it.......... I'll tell you guys maybe someday." Soraru spoke the last words in a whisper but Mafu managed to catch them.

The albino saw a sad expression on Soraru's face and felt his heart break. Ah I just made him upset.

"Hey, are you guys going to hurry up."

Amatsuki turned his head to look behind him, he was ahead of the two. Soraru looked at Mafu, who was looking down at the ground, and patted the albino's head. The action made Mafu look up at him as Soraru spoke to him.

"Oi, come on Amatsuki is waiting for us. Stop looking gloomy and cheer up."

Soraru gave Mafu a smile and walked to the brunette who was waiting for them. Mafu touched the part that Soraru had patted and blushed a bit before smiling to himself and running to catch up the the two.
