Chapter 7

Mafu was putting everything down on the kitchen counter when he saw Lon walk in with Soraru.

"Eh? Why's Soraru here?" He questioned the blonde who smiled.

"He's here to help," she ignore the 'I was forced' coming from Soraru and continued talking, "he's good at baking since Sakata would make him bake stuff like cupcakes for him."

"Oh really? Thanks Soraru for deciding to help."

Mafu smiled at the raven-haired male, who slightly turned his head with a small, invisible blush and spoke again.

"I was forced to."

"I didn't force you, you decided to join us." Lon corrected him, ignoring the glare he was giving her.

"You blackmailed me."

"Nope." Lon wore a smile of her face as she began to preheat the oven. Soraru was still glaring at her while Mafu spoke to him.

"You're really nice Soraru. Always taking care of your brother."

Soraru wasn't expecting those words from the albino and his expression faltered a bit.

"Eh? Oh...um....thanks." He said awkwardly as he finally moved from his spot to help Lon, who started to put the things in the bowl to mix.

Mafu looked at the two chatting, more like Lon was talking to Soraru, who was looked annoyed but Mafu could tell that he wasn't actually.

They act like a couple...... Mafu was watched the scene in front of him. His heart seemed to hurt and he was confused on why. He started to realize that whenever he was around Soraru, or even when he's just simply looking at him, his heart would begin to race. Maybe I should get it checked. Mafu made his way towards the two and asked Lon if he should help.

"I'm good Mafu," Lon replied as she was mixing the batter, "but you can help with the icing. Since you are the one who wanted to make the cake."

Lon looked at Mafu, who simply nodded and decided to see what else they brought back. He saw Soraru lean against the counter next to the bags and stare at the wall. He saw some packs of blue and red icing, probably because those colors represent Sakata and Soraru. He noticed chips, candy and other tupes if snacks.

"Eh? Why'd you guys bring a lot?" Mafu puzzlingly asked the two.

"Lon said she wanted to have a little party. She wouldn't stop complaining when we said no so she grabbed them on her own and forced us to pay for them."

Mafu jumped from shock as Soraru spoke to him. He hadn't expected Soraru to answer his question and it surprised him, but he was happy that Soraru finally decided to talk.

"Did you get anything Soraru?"

"Nope." came the short reply.

"Oh stop lying Soraru. You brought some candy for Sakata~" Lon said teasingly. Soraru blushed in embarrassment and Mafu found it cute.

"Soraru really cares for Sakata~~" Mafu joined Lon in teasing the raven-haired male.

Soraru glared at Mafu, who just giggled and wore a smile on his face. He could tell there was no real malice in the gesture, it was more of a glare saying 'shut up.'

"Oi. Shut up." See Mafu knew it.

"You're just like a tsundere Soraru."

"I said quick it."

"You didn't deny it."

"You really don't value your life huh?"

"I don't think you'd hurt me. You're not the type to just attack people for no reason." Soraru, again, faltered at Mafu's statement.

"Eh? Why do you think that?"

"Cause Sakata said so~~"

"Of course he did." Soraru sighed as he was annoyed at his brother for saying things about him, but then silently laughed as he thought that he could never get mad at his brother.

Lon poured the batter in a pan and set it in the oven. She turned around to face the two males and saw them having a somewhat type of conversation. Mafu had a proud smile on his face while Soraru looked annoyed but Lon saw a small invisible smile on the raven-haired male's face. So that's how its going to be huh Sorau? Lon smirked as an idea popped in her head, she walked towards the guys and jumped to sit on the counter, startling the two.

"The cake's in the oven so now we wait."

"So what should we do now?" Soraru asked the blonde.

"We can join the others in the living room." Mafu said as he began to walk towards the door but was stopped by Lon.

"Nah, they seem to be having fun teasing Urata."

Lon was looking through the door to see the guys laughing with each other while Urata seemed annoyed.

"How about we leave them be for now?" After all I need the two of you alone together so my brilliant plan works.

"So what ARE we going to do then?" Mafu questioned the blonde, what can you even do in the kitchen besides cook?

"How about we play a little get to know us game. After all you guys know about Sakata but not much of us 3rd years." Lon smiled while looking at Soraru who seemed confused about the idea. "You can ask us questions and we'll answer."

"No." Soraru quickly replied, he wasn't too keen on the idea.

"Don't be a party popper Soraru. How else is Mafu going to get to know and understand you if you keep pushing him away?"

"......"

Soraru was quiet for awhile, he looked at Lon then at Mafu before sighing and finally agreeing to the idea with a simple short nod.

"Fine."

"Okay Mafu start with your first question." Lon said eagerly.

"Are you two dating?"

Mafu wanted to mentally punch himself after saying that, I said it without thinking. Ah they must hate me now for getting in their business. But I really want to know or else I won't be able to stop beating myself up at the thought.

"Eh? Does it look like we're dating?" Lon asked the albino who slowly nodded.

Oh~ So Mafu is worried that Soraru might like me wwww. She giggled to herself, which cause Soraru and Mafu to look at her in confusion.

"Nope. We're not. Well, in middle school I did have a crush on him but Soraru rejected me," Lon playfully pouted like she was upset as she said it but then giggled and continued, "he only sees me as a sister and I see him as a big, dumb brother."

"Oi."

"I-Is that true?" Mafu stumbled with his words as he realized that he was freaking out over nothing.

Why am I so worked up about it anyways. Do I like Soraru? As the thought crossed his mind, Mafu began to blush all of the sudden, Eh!?! EH!?!?

Lon and Soraru could only watch the albino suddenly turn red, Lon already knew why, so he finally realized huh~ now it's time to make Soraru realize.

"Are you ok Mafumafu?" Soraru asked the albino, confusion written on his face.

Mafu could only nod and shake his head to stop himself from blushing.

"A-A-Anyways...um... w-what do you two s-spend most of your time d-doing?" Mafu tripped over his words as he tried to form another question.

"Well I do schoolwork and spend time outside, while Soraru here just lazes around by sleeping and playing games."

"Oi. I don't laze around, I do stuff." Soraru corrected Lon, who shook her head.

"Nope. I always see you either in your room or in the living room playing games instead of doing homework ."

".......I still get stuff done." Soraru defeatedly added towards Lon's statement.

"Wwwww another point for me." Lon victoriously said as she patted Soraru on the head with a grin on her face. 

"Quit it." Soraru smacked her hands away as she stuck her tongue out at him.

"Alright enough questions. I'll ask you one Mafu."

"Eh?"

Mafu was confused at how the topic was switched towards him and he could only let out a confused noise.

"Wasn't this for him to get to know us?" Soraru looked at the blonde girl, who dismissed his question and looked at Mafu.

"Have you ever dated anyone?" Lon innocently smiled at him. Mafu blushed in embarrassment at the question Lon just threw at him.

"Eh!? N-n-no I-I-I h-haven't." Mafu stuttered.

"Why are you stuttering? Did you actually date someone?"

Lon put her elbows on her knees and leaned in with a shit-eating grin on her face as the albino turned red under her interrogation.

"N-no I haven't. It's just the question is embarrassing." Mafu covered his face with his hands and avoided Lon's gaze.

Cute............wait what? Soraru was startled by his own thoughts. He wondered why that word just crossed his mind when he looked at the albino in front of him. Well he does remind me of Sakata in terms of personality and how they give off energetic, positive vibes.

Soraru suddenly started thinking more about the albino once the thought had entered his mind. He doesn't seem to be afraid of me like others. He was confused with his own thoughts towards the albino. He decided to stop thinking about it and brushed it off. He made a comment towards the said albino.

"That's surprising. With how popular you guys are I'd have thought you would've dated someone."

Mafu continued to turn red in embarrassment, he wanted nothing more than a black hole to appear underneath him and pull him down. He noticed Lon smirk before getting off the counter and walking towards the oven.

"The cake is done baking~~ Time for the icing~~"

Mafu walked towards the blonde but stumbled a bit on the way because his mind was still swirling in thoughts. He was about to fall before he felt someone's arm catch him.

"Oi idiot, be careful."

The arm turns out to belong to Soraru. The sudden contact made Mafu blush even more than before as he quickly got to his feet.

"E-e-eh? Oh...t-t-thanks S-S-Soraru."

Soraru sighed before removing his arm once Mafu was on his feet, making the albino wish the warmth of his arm didn't leave him. They both walked towards Lon by the oven, she was taking out the cake and putting it on a plate. She saw their little interaction and mentally patted herself in her head.

"I'll let you guys do the icing because I baked the cake."

"You're not going to help?"

Soraru looked at Lon who was wearing a smile that reached her ears. She's been smiling a lot lately, I'm a bit worried about what she is thinking.

"I'll just watch you guys. I don't want to leave the room and come back to the cake being gone."

"You make it seem like we'd eat the cake by ourselves."

"Knowing you Soraru, you probably would."

Soraru gave her a glare, resulting with her playfully sticking her tongue out like a child. He turned to face Mafu, who was already beginning to ice the cake. He noticed some icing on Mafu's face. He moved his hand to wipe it off with his finger, startling the albino as he began to blush again, and licked the icing off his finger.

"Sweet." Soraru said as he smiled.

Mafu saw it, saw Soraru finally smile, a real smile, the type of smile you make when you find something you like, the type of smile he's only seen Soraru give to Sakata. Mafu blushed even more, so much that he thought his face was completely red.

Soraru looked at Mafu's red face in confusion before laughing a bit, causing Mafu's heart to skip a beat. He sounds so nice with his handsome laugh. Soraru's laugh was like music to his ears, he wanted to hear it again. Soraru noticed the albino had stopped icing the cake so he decided to snap him out of his thoughts.

"Oi, Mafumafu are you done?"

Mafu finally left from his dazed state and stuttered as he looked away from Soraru and back at the cake. His began to ice the cake again, although his hands were trembling a bit.

"I-I-I'm f-f-fine S-Soraru." Mafu said while inside his mind he was panicking.

Since he figured out that he might like Soraru, he started becoming self conscious of his actions, even if they were small and unintentional.

Soraru simple nodded and helped Mafu ice the cake. Occasionally their shoulders would bump against each other, causing Mafu to stop a bit and blush while Soraru seemed unfazed.

Lon was happy that they seem to get along and that Soraru was beginning to open up a bit towards Mafu. Plus I bet Soraru doesn't even notice the effect he has on Mafu. They finished icing the cake and Lon looked at the cake proudly.

Soraru was just glad they finished and Mafu was happy, although he still had a small blush on his face. Lon brought the cake to the living room as the others looked up to see the three of them emerge from the kitchen.

"It's done~"

Mafu and Lon smiled at the accomplishment and silently praised themselves.

"Oooh~ It looks good~"

Amatsuki was admiring the cake and was ready to eat it.

"Well dig in guys." Mafu said that as he went towards the kitchen to get a knife for cutting the cake while Lon went with him to bring the snacks they brought.

"Hey niichan, how was baking with Mafu and Lon?" Sakata looked up at his brother from his spot on the floor.

"Okay I guess."

"So Soraru can bake and is good at taking care of little kids. You'd make such a great husband~~" Senra teasingly commented towards the raven-haired male.

"Shut up."

The others laughed as Soraru looked away from them towards the kitchen door. Urata looked at Soraru and noticed that he seemed to be in a good mood. Did something happen? Lon and Mafu came back from the kitchen with the supplies.

"Now we can have our party," Shima said as he took the knife from Mafu and cut his piece of the cake.

"Hey Shima shouldn't Soraru and Sakata get the first piece?" Mafu playfully scolded the purple-haired male.

"In the famous words of Soraru, don't care."

Soraru glared at Shima for his comment before letting it go and getting a piece for himself.

They had fun eating and talking about the usual stuff. They asked Lon questions, she happily obliged to answered them. During the little party she noticed that Soraru seemed to be talking a bit more and was starting to smile, though it would be small and only for a few seconds.

He's starting to relax around them and open up. She smiled at the sight of Mafu talking to Soraru, who although had an annoyed expression, he looked happy. Eventually it was late and they started to leave. The only ones left were Lon, Soraru, Sakata, Urata and Mafu. They talked for a few minutes more before Soraru started walking.

"Well we'll be leaving now. See ya." Soraru said as he walked ahead of them.

Lon only rolled her eyes at Soraru, soon she and Sakata followed him before she stopped to turn around to tell Urata and Mafu something.

"Oh right, tomorrow there's a volleyball game at school so remember to have your gym clothes ready. We won't have homeroom tomorrow. Bye guys."

"Oi hurry up you two." Soraru's voice was heard from the distance and Sakata looked at his brother with a smile.

"Don't worry niichan, we're leaving now."

"See ya guys tomorrow," Sakata said as he and Lon waved at them goodbye.

The door soon closed shut once they left, leaving the albino and brunette alone.
