The door closed as the two left the house to get the ingredients Mafu needed.

"Are you sure they're going to be okay?" Senra said worryingly.

"I'm sure they're going to be fine." Shima nervously said. He was worried that they'd end up arguing again like last time. That was really scary, I felt like they were going to punch each other any second.

"It's not like they're going to immediately fight the moment they're alone. Niichan doesn't just start fights for fun." Sakata informed the rest of them.

"Well they will need to get along at some point because Soraru has to give Urata his blessings when he starts dating his little brother." Amatsuki had a sly grin on his face as he looked at Sakata.

"Eh!? W-W-What do you mean Amatsuki?" Sakata was blushing at the brunette's comment and stumbling with his words. He used his arms to cover his face, hoping it'd stop the others from seeing his blush.

"What I mean is that Urata has taking a liken to you. I've notice how many times he's stared at you." Amatsuki then faced Mafu, who immediately had a bad feeling from the look on the brunette's face. "Mafu has been staring at Soraru a lot too, so Soraru needs Urata's approval to date him~~"

"Ama-chan stop teasing us!" Mafu, who was turning red, shouted at the male. "No way they'd think of us like that!"

"Why do you even notice something like that?" Shima was bewildered by the brunette's observation.

"When you get stuck third wheeling your friends on their dates for so long, you learn a thing or two about how couples act when in love." Amatsuki gave Shima and Senra judgmental eyes when he said that, causing the two males to look away as if they didn't hear him.

"Eh, I doubt Urata likes me." Sakata looked at the others with a solemn look in his eyes. Urata doesn't seem like the type of person who'd fall in love with someone like me.

"I'm sure he probably does," Amatsuki cheekily replied, "I mean, I've never seen him stare at anyone before."

"Do you happen to like Urata, Sakata?" Senra questioned him. Sakata was almost as red as his hair when Senra looked at him.

"Maybe.... I mean, he seems interesting to be hang around with." Sakata was now looking at his fingers while twiddling them, not wanting to meet their gazes.

"Don't worry Sakata, I'll help you." Mafu proudly announced, "I'll MAKE his fall in love with you."

"Really?!? You don't have to but thanks!" Sakata smiled brightly at Mafu who returned the gesture back.

Mafu playing as matchmaker. This is going to end horribly. The other three jokingly thought as they watched Mafu tell Sakata his plans on making Urata fall for his new friend.

•~•~•~•~•~•~•

The walk was silent, very silent. So silent that Urata felt he was going to suffocate because of it. He glanced at Soraru, who was facing ahead, and tried to come up with something to say but as usual nothing came out.

He had to choose his word carefully, he didn't want to end up snapping at Soraru again. I just got so angry and acted without thinking. Urata had always been ruthless when it came to disagreeing with other people, but so was Soraru. If one of them barked, the other would definitely bite back.

The two of them arguing with each other is like a tornado and a storm happening at the same time, no one would want to get caught up in that.

Soraru had been quiet for a long time and Urata was wondering if he thought it was awkward to talk or he just didn't care. Well he is the type of person to not care about the fact that other people hate him.

Urata decided to not think about it and let the silence continue, no matter how much he wanted to break it. He let his thoughts forget about Soraru and run off, and they somehow went back to something Soraru-related, well more like someone related to Soraru.

A certain red-haired idiot kept coming into his mind and he wanted to slap himself. Why him? He hadn't stopped thinking about him ever since he saw him, and that was just two days ago. Maybe I just need to take a break from the both of them. His head was starting to hurt from thinking about the siblings, one out of anger and untrustworthiness, the other from confusion and curiosity.

"Oh? Is that you Soraru?"

A voice called out from behind them and Urata stopped his thoughts to turn around. Soraru just turned his head to the side to see a blonde girl smile at them.

"I thought so. No one else gives off a gloomy vibe in the middle of the day except you." The blonde said as she giggled at Soraru who just glared at her. Urata recognized the girl.

"What do you want Lon?"

"Hey, is that how you talk to a friend?" Lon pouted at him while Urata just watched their interactions.

"Shut up, you're so annoying." Soraru sighed for about the hundrenth time today as Lon was laughing at his irritated expression.

Urata noticed that despite having a sharp tongue and his words being harsh, Soraru didn't seem to be actually annoyed. Why is he so difficult to understand?

"So you're on a date huh?" Lon looked at Urata, who almost lost his balance. WHAT?!?

"No I'm not you idiot." Soraru gave her a deadpanned look with his arms crossed across his chest.

"I'm joking. I'm joking~~ So you must be Urata right?"

"Eh? How do you know about me?"

Urata was confused about Lon knowing his name, sure he's popular but not many 3rd years know him.

"I'm the student council president. Of course I'd know about my fellow students."

Lon gave him a bright smile and Urata felt himself smile back. Oh right, of course.

"So what are you guys doing? I have to say this is quiet the combination."

Lon looked between Soraru and Urata. I thought Soraru didn't like hanging out with others except me and Sakata? Lon was confused but also happy at the idea that Soraru was opening up to others. It took long a bit of time for her to finally get him to trust her.

"We're going to the store to buy things for Mafu. He wants to make a cake." Urata explained, ignoring Soraru in the background saying "I was forced to go."

"Ohhhhh~ But why is he making a cake? It's not one of your birthdays." Lon said, the brunette found it a bit weird that she knew that. Well, she probably knows from looking at our profiles and such.

"It's for thanking Soraru and Sakata, but it's pretty much just an excuse to eat cake." Urata rolled his eyes as he thought of Mafu making a cake for something childish.

"I can help you guys."

"Really? You won't mind?"

"Nope, and I doubt you two know what you need to get. Also I get to have an excuse to meet Mafu and I can see Sakata, I miss the cute one of the duo." Lon laughed as Soraru glared at her.

"You make it sound like we've never baked before but sure you can come along. I don't think Mafu would mind having you join us."

"Yay~"

Lon joined the two and was chatting with Urata along the way to the store. At least it isn't awkward anymore, Urata thought at the fact that Lon's presence made the tense atmosphere go away.

Occasionally Lon made Soraru join the conversation, though he only gave short responses or didn't pay attention to them.

They got to the store and Lon was helping them pick out the ingredients. It wasn't much but once they went to pay they saw how many bags they had. Lon had decided to buy some sweets and snacks for herself and the others.

We just went to buy cake ingredients and end up buying more than needed, well that's Lon for ya. Soraru had the thought in his mind as they were walking back towards the albino's home.

They arrived back at the house and Urata knocked on the door. He heard someone walking up and saw it was Amatsuki who answered.

"Hey you guys didn't kill each other~" he jokingly said as he let them in.

"Of course we didn't. What did you think was going to happen?" Urata questioned the brunette.

"Nothing." Amatsuki then quickly went back to his spot on the armchair, dodging the smaller one's question.

"Oh right. Mafu this is Lon, the student council president. She happened to cross our path and decided to join."

"Oh, hi Lon." Mafu happily spoke towards the blonde girl between Urata and Soraru. The others greeted her.

"Hello~" she smiled before going to Sakata, who looked like he just got the gift that he wanted for Christmas, and pinched his cheeks before saying, "Good to see you little puppy."

"L-Lon! S-swop youw huwting my cheeks!" Sakata cried out as Lon kept pinched him, smiling and laughing.

"Oi Lon, stop it." Soraru said, causing Lon let go of Sakata, who rubbed his cheeks to ease the pain.

"Fine. Only cause the protective brother said so." She pouted at Soraru, who shook his head at her childishness.

"Hey Lon, why did you call Sakata a little puppy?" Shima wondered.

"It's my nickname for him, when he was younger he was so energetic, like a small puppy that you'd just want to cuddle and pet them forever."

"Please stop teasing me," Sakata was blushing in embarrassment.

"Wwww how can I? You're too cute to not tease." Lon looked at Sakata with eyes filled with happiness and positivity.

"Wow so strange how two people that radiate such a positive energy can be friends with a stone wall." Senra joked as he saw Soraru glare at him. "You just proved my point even more Soraru," he said unfazed by the glare.

"Well it's time for me to bake the cake, you can help Lon if you want," and with that Mafu took the ingredients from them.

His hand brushed against Soraru's. His hands are soft, Mafu blushed at the contact while Soraru didn't react at all. Mafu hastily made his way to the kitchen as Lon, who saw their interaction, gave Soraru a sly look, which confused the raven-haired male. A thought crossed her mind, time for me to play matchmaker, it's obvious that Mafu has a crush in Soraru.

"Soraru~ come help us bake the cake." Lon giggled to herself.

"Eh? Why me? Shouldn't the person who's thanking us bake the cake?"

Soraru gave Lon a blank stare as a smirk grew on her face, which honesty worried him as she always had that face when she was plotting something.

"If you don't help, I'll tell everyone here that you're afra—"

"Alright let's go," Soraru grabbed Lon's wrist as he walked towards the kitchen. Lon was smiling in victory that she won over him.

The two left the living room, the other four looked confused on what happened while Sakata just giggled at his brother hiding his little fear.

"Aw wait, I want to know what he's afraid of~" Amatsuki whined and turned to the giggling male in front of him.

"Sakata tell me what Soraru is afraid of~"

"Nope." Sakata grinned as Amatsuki continued to whine and pry info from him.

"You're both annoying, you know that." Urata bluntly said at the two.

"You know you sounded just like Soraru right now." Senra pointed out towards the brunette as he was checking his phone, Shima agreed with his boyfriend.

"Oi, don't compare me to that guy."

"But it's true. Both of you are straightforward and pretty blunt with your words."

"How would you know? You just meet him yesterday."

"He has a reputation of being cold and not showing anyone kindness with his words, well except for Sakata and Lon."

"Senra, you better stop talking right now or I'm going to strangle you."

"As if you can reach."

"Oi!"

"H-Hey guys please stop."

Sakata intervened between the two bickering males and stopped Urata, who was about to get up. Shima quietly laughed to himself, so he listens to Sakata huh~

"Fine," Urata sat back down on the armrest of Amatsuki's chair.

"I mean, we all know niichan and Urata are pretty much similar." Sakata cheekily said, the others laughed as Urata's face turned to one of annoyance.

"Oi!"

Urata got up and walked towards the red-haired male, who was laughing along with them, and pinched his cheek.

"Let's see who's laughing now." Urata said as he continued to pinch his cheeks.

"Ah, pwease swop. I'm sowwy." Sakata cried out as Urata let go, satisfied that they stopped teasing him. Sakata rubbed his cheeks for the second time as Urata went back to his seat.

"I'm surprised you did that Urata, I mean if the protective brother saw you he probably would've punched you." Shima jokingly stated at the brunette who just glared at him.

"I'm warning you guys, can it." Urata glared at his friends, they could see the angry marks appearing on his head, causing them to laugh even more.

It was rare for them to tease Urata, guess Sakata is the reason we can, Amatsuki thought as they continued to laugh at Urata's demise.

"I wonder how it's going for the others in the kitchen?" Shima rubbed his fingers under his chin like he was thinking.

"I'm sure it's fine. Lon is there to help them, plus niichan is good at baking. He's baked for me before." Sakata calmed down from his laughing.

"That's surprising, he doesn't look like the type to bake..... Well actually it makes sense since he's taking care of a younger silbing." Senra mentioned as he looked up at Sakata and then down at his phone again.

"Well let's hope the cake is delicious. I really am in the mood for sweets." Shima followed up Senra's comment.

The others continued to talk and tease each other while waiting for the three in the kitchen to finish baking. Urata looked at Sakata, who was in a conversation with Amatsuki, and found himself drawn towards the smile on his face. So innocent and naive, yup just like an idiot.

Sakata felt someone stare at him and turned to see Urata, who snapped out of his trance and turned away with a blush on his face. Sakata blushed a bit too, before smiling and continuing to talk to Amatsuki.

He was glad that he made new friends and he hopes that his brother and Urata get along eventually. Meanwhile, in the kitchen Lon was hoping to get Soraru to notice Mafu's attraction towards him.
