"Please go out with me!"

Mafu just stared at the girl that had just confessed to him. The breeze was flew by as the sun shined above the two. The cherry blossoms were getting ready to bloom in a couple of weeks.

The girl had asked Mafu earlier to meet her behind the school during lunch. And here he was, staring at her with pity. He felt awkward and nervously smiled at the poor girl.

"A-Ah, sorry but I'm already taken."

The girl looked at his with distraught eyes, Mafu felt bad for her and was about to say something to ease her pained heart until she spoke again.

"I-It's Soraru right? H-He's no longer going to the school so he won't know."

Mafu frowned at the girl's idea. She was getting desperate as she moved closer to the albino, who moved back.

"W-We can hide it!"

"I-I'm sorry but my answer is still no. I don't have any feelings for you."

Mafu was getting uncomfortable as the girl was about to back him into the wall until she felt someone grab her arm.

"Oi. If he said no then just accept it."

Mafu looked to see Urata grabbing onto the girl's arm. He had a blank look on his face as the girl glared at him. She violently retracted her arm from the brunette's grasp and stomped off. Mafu gave a sigh in relief as the two watched the girl disappear in to the school.

"Thanks Urata." Mafu smiled at the brunette just nodded.

"Eh? No thanks for me?" Mafu looked to see Sakata appear from behind the brunette.

"I was the one who told him that you might be in trouble. Otherwise he probably wouldn't have come here."

"Oi." Urata gave the redhead a glare as Sakata just smiled back.

"Thanks Sakata."

"You're welcome~" The redhead smiled at the albino.

They were almost done with their second year of high school. Urata and Shima were beginning to get ready for college as the younger ones were getting readied for their last year.

Senra and Sakata were a bit upset at their lover leaving but were reassured when the two had chosen to go to a college nearby. Urata was planning on studying voice acting while Shima was still undecided.

"Hey Mafu how are you feeing? That's probably the 50th confession this year." Sakata said as Mafu groaned in annoyance.

"Idiot why are you even asking. Of course he'd feel annoyed. They always tell him the same thing like how he should break up with Soraru." Urata retorted as the redhead pouted.

Sakata looked away from the brunette, clearly annoyed at his statement. Urata smiled at the redhead's cute face and pinched his cheeks as Sakata cried out.

"O-Ow! S-Swop!"

"Wwww. Urata just finds it cute when you pout and wanted an excuse to touch your soft, chubby cheeks."

The brunette blushed as he stopped pulling the younger's cheeks after Mafu's statement. He turned to glare at the albino, though his red tinted face did nothing to help.

"Oi. Mafu."

"He just really likes touching your cheeks so he tries to annoy you so he can." Mafu continued talking, ignoring the threat and death glare from the brunette as Sakata blushed.

"I-Is that s-so?"

Sakata timidly looked at the brunette, who found the gesture to be too cute and looked away from the redhead. His heart fluttered as his cheeks became even warmer.

"O-Oi! T-The others a-are probably waiting for us." With that being said, Urata grabbed the redhead's hand and began to walk towards the roof.

His blush still on his face as Mafu giggled. The albino followed them behind as they went to meet up with the others. They made it to the roof and saw the others laugh as Amatsuki was pouting.

"Wwww. H-Hey g-guy. Wwww."

Senra could barely greet them as he continued to laugh. Shima was trying to catch his breath, tears could be seen in his eyes.

"YAMETE!" Amatsuki shouted, his face red from embarrassment and blush.

"Do we want to know what happened?" Urata asked the others. Shima was about to reply but was cut off by the brunette.

"NO!"

The two just continued to laugh, though they were beginning to calm down. Sakata gave the brunette a pitiful smile as Mafu just giggled at his blushing face.

"Ah~ the school year is almost over." Shima flopped onto the floor as he whined.

"I don't want to go to college~"

"Yes we know you don't want to leave Senra behind." Urata said as the blonde blushed a bit.

"Well tomorrow is Sunday so we don't have to worry about school." Amatsuki said as his face was turning back to its original color.

"But we're all busy~"

"You act as if you're actually doing things." Urata commented as the purple-haired male lifted his head to glare at the brunette.

"And you act like a tsundere."

"Oi. Shima do you value your life?"

"I'm soo scared of a shortie."

"Alright that's it."

Urata was about to strangle to purple-haired male when Sakata's phone rang. The redhead looked at his phone in confusion but then smiled when he saw who it was.

"Hi niichan~"

"You sound too cheery."

"Wwwww. I can't be happy that my favorite brother is calling me instead of it being the other way around."

"Alright well it was nice talking to you. Bye—"

"H-Hey! Don't hang up on me that quickly!"

"Www."

"Niichan is so rude~"

"Eh? That's Soraru?" Amatsuki said as the others looked at the redhead.

Sakata took his phone away from his ears as he tapped the speaker button.

"Niichan you're on speaker now~"

"Oh great." The raven-haired said sarcastically as the redhead giggled.

"Hi Soraru~" Mafu greeted the other.

Soraru was walking to his next class when he decided to call his brother. He had called Kashitarou and Lon the other day to see what they were up to. He was glad to hear that they were doing well.

The raven-haired missed talking to his brother. He also kinda secretly wanted to see how the others were doing too, hence on why he's calling them. He smiled as he held his phone against his ear, hearing the albino's voice made his heart flutter.

"Hey."

"Please don't begin to flirt during the call."

Soraru didn't need to be there to know that Sakata was probably wearing a cheeky grin on his face. He could also tell that Mafu was probably blushing as the others were teasing him.

"Tell to yourself." Soraru commented, he smirked at the thought of Sakata's face turning red.

The younger would always get embarrassed whenever he makes a remark towards his little love life.

"Soraru is still brutal with his words I see." Amatsuki commented as the raven-haired could hear Senra laugh.

"Guess no matter where you are, you're still the same blunt Soraru." Senra joked as Soraru smiled to himself.

"Wwww. Urata's blushing now~"

Shima's teasing made the other line fill with laughter and giggles. Soraru just smiled, they never change do they.

"Alright nice talking to ya Soraru."
"Eh? Urata! Don't just try to take my phone to hang up!"

Soraru just snickered to himself, Urata still hates being teased. He really missed seeing their antics, but just talking to them was enough to help him get through the day. He probably wouldn't have been here if it weren't for them.

"How are your classes?" Shima asked the raven-haired as he shrugged, even though he knew that they couldn't see it.

"Pretty good. Kinda boring."

"At least you're enjoying it." Soraru smiled at Senra's statement.

"Yeah, people around the campus have told me that they liked my voice."

"No surprise there."

Soraru could hear Senra's small comment as Shima replied to the blonde.

"Wwww. That's true Senra."

"Wwww. Does niichan have admirers?"

"Some, but they aren't like the ones from the school."

Soraru smiled to himself as he remembered how girls would ask him out in the beginning. But once they saw the teru teru bozu keychain on his phone, they had stopped trying to ask him out and just talked to him.

They could tell that Soraru probably had someone already, seeing as how they'd see him texting on his phone and smiling, sometimes even blushing. Though Soraru just wished they didn't see him blush.

"You seem happy that people like you." Urata remarked as Soraru just rolled his eyes.

"And you seem happy to enjoy me not being there so you can have Sakata all to yourself."

"OI! YOU—"

"Urata, please don't shout so losing right next to my ears. It hurts."

"Sorry Sakata."

"Wwww. Now they're the ones flirting~"

Shima laughed while Soraru could just imagine Urata glaring at the purple-haired.

"Well I'm almost at my class so I have to go. See ya guys—"

"A-Ah, S-Soraru." The albino's voice made Soraru stop talking as he answered Mafu's little cry.

"Yes?"

Mafu was about to speak again but hesitated. He stayed silent for a few seconds and decided against it so he closed his mouth. A-Ah, I probably shouldn't ask if he can come by tomorrow. He's probably busy, plus he has to focus on his classes and exams.

"U-Um, I-I hope you have a great day today." Mafu said, the happiness and positivity could be heard from his voice.

He really knows how to make me feel happy. Though, the raven-haired could also sense that Mafu had wanted to say something else.

"Bye niichan."
"See ya."
"Bye Soraru."
"Good luck in your classes."
"Remember to pay attention."
"Bye Soraru~"

The raven-haired smiled as he hung up the phone. These guys really are something. His thoughts went back to the albino, he just chuckled to himself as he had a small feeling on what Mafu wanted to say. Guess I'll just work hard today.

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

Mafu was sitting around his house, he was wearing a baggy t-shirt and lazing around. The others were busy today so he had decided to just stay home. Iroha was playing around with the toys as Mafu watched her. She went up to him as he petted her. She purred in delight before going to the cat tree.

The albino flopped down onto the floor with a soft thud. I'm so bored~. He had nothing to do and was just contemplating his thoughts when he heard a knock on his door. He sat up confused and got up to open it. Mafu immediately beamed when he saw who it was.

"Soraru!"

The albino tackled the raven-haired in a hug as Soraru stumbled a bit to keep his balance.

"O-Oi! Don't tackle me so suddenly!"

Mafu giggled as he looked at the older with a smile. The raven-haired couldn't resist smiling back as he circled his arms around the albino.

"I'm just happy~"

"I can tell."

"Www. But aren't you busy?"

Mafu gave him a puzzled expression, Soraru should be focusing on his work first.

"I managed to finish my work early since you wanted to see me."

"Eh?"

"That's what you were going to say yesterday right?"

"Y-Yeah."

The albino started to turn slightly red at the thought of Soraru working hard to get his papers done just for him. He smiled as he hid his blushing face in the raven-haired's shirt. Soraru found the action to be cute, he moved one of his hand to cover his cheeks.

"You really are cute when you're blushing."

"Y-Yamete!"

Mafu blushed furiously as he let go of the hug and moved his hands to cover his face. Soraru just laughed at the albino's weak attempt to hide. He kissed the albino's forehead, making Mafu blush even more. A small meow was heard, Soraru looked to see Iroha rubbing her head against his legs.

"I missed you too Iroha."

Soraru crouched down to pet her, Iroha purred in happiness as the raven-haired smiled. Mafu just watched the scene, he was happy to see the raven-haired after months. Mafu then realized that the older saw him in his baggy shirt, all disheveled, and blushed. Good thing Soraru didn't make a comment about it or else I don't think I'd be able to survive from the teasing.

"So are we just going to stay here or—"

"Let's go on a date!"

"Why did I bother asking?"

Soraru gave his lover an amused looked as Mafu ran to his room to his ready. Soraru went towards the couch to sit down and was playing with Iroha while Mafu was getting ready. Maybe I should also visit Sakata later, he probably would be just as happy as Mafu to see me.

"Alright let's go!"

Mafu grabbed the raven-haired's hand and left the house. Of course not before saying goodbye to Iroha, who just meowed back.

They were walking around for awhile, Mafu got distracted by small things, amusing the older. He really is cute no matter what. The raven-haired had taken Mafu to a cafe to eat, the albino was filled with happiness. Soraru just smiled as he watched the younger beam in delight, the raven-haired felt like he had been blessed by angels when he saw Mafu give him his usual sweet smile.

They were enjoying their date as Mafu tried to treasure every single moment, he didn't know when he'll see Soraru again so he wanted to make the most of it. They eventually sat down at a park, Mafu went on the swings as Soraru leaned against the metal poles. They were enjoying the spring breeze, the cherry blossom petals followed the path of the wind as the sun was as bright as ever.

"Hey Soraru," the raven-haired turned to look at the albino who grinned at him.

"Just a bit more."

Soraru smiled as he went behind the albino, who was still on the swings, and hugged him. He rested his chin on the younger's head.

"Yeah."

It was mid-March, meaning Mafu's second year of high school was almost over. The albino was looking forward for next year because after that he'd graduate and get to follow the raven-haired. He was going to keep his promise and go to the same college as Soraru. Mafu had become interested in signing too, so he hoped to do as good so that the both of them can become singers together.

"Hey, should we tell the others to come here?"

"I was planning on visiting Sakata later—"

"Great!"

Mafu took out his phone, not bothering to let Soraru finish his sentence, as he texted the others to come to the park.

"Didn't you say they were busy?"

"They are but it's about 4:30 so they probably finished whatever they were doing."

"You're going to blackmail them if they don't come, aren't you?"

"Wwww. You know me so well~"

"Of course I would, I'm your boyfriend after all."

Soraru smirked as he saw Mafu stop typing on his phone and blushed. It had been months since they started dating yet Mafu still gets surprised at the fact that he's dating Soraru. There would be times were he thinks about it, and he still can't believe it.

"Y-Yeah..."

Mafu went back to texting the others, though his fingers were slightly shaking as he blushed, amusing the raven-haired.

"They said sure! Alright Soraru hide behind that tree."

"Why?"

"I want it to be a surprise~ I didn't tell them that you're here, just that I'm at the park and I want them to come join me."

"Only you would want to make something as pointless as this a surprise. And even if I say no you'd just drag me behind the tree yourself."

"Wwww. Correct."

"Fine. But I'm not hiding behind a tree, I'll just walk around so tell me when they come." Soraru said as he walked away.

Mafu smiled to himself as he looked up at the sky, waiting for the others. About a good half hour passed by, Mafu was starting to get a bit annoyed. I told them to hurry up and not to be late. He was pouting until he heard someone call to him.

"Hey Mafu!"

The albino looked up to see the brunette walking with the others behind him. Mafu noticed that Kashitarou seemed to be with them. Ah, they managed to drag Kashi too.

"Hi guys!" Mafu got off the swings and walked up to them.

"So you finally left your house by yourself." Shima teasingly said as Mafu pouted.

"Hey! I do leave my house sometimes, I'm not a caveman."

"Wwww. But you don't go out on your own, only when it's with either one of us or Soraru." Kashitarou commented as Mafu blushed.

"Anyways, how have you been Kashi?"

Mafu changed to topic towards the brunette, who just smiled.

"Pretty good."

"So why did you make us come here?" Urata asked the albino, cutting off the small chat between the two.

"Urata really likes to cut things to the chase." Senra stated as the brunette glared at him.

Mafu noticed that he seemed to be in an annoyed mood and grinned.

"Ah~ did I perhaps happen to ruin your date with Sakata~"

The brunette blushed as he removed his gaze from the blonde and glared at the albino. Sakata looked away as he began to blush, he timidly moved his hands to cover his cheeks.

"S-Shut up. Why did you call us here?"

"Wwww. What, I can't just ask my friends to hang out?"

"Not unless there is some motive."

"Hmph. And I thought you guys would be happy to see Soraru."

"Eh?" Sakata said as he immediately snapped his head to look at the albino. His blush disappearing in an instant as he heard the albino's words.

"Niichan's here?"

"That's how you decided to tell them?" Soraru said as he walked up to the guys. His arms behind his head as he looked at the albino in amusement.

"I thoughts you wanted it to be dramatic or something."

"I did but Urata's attitude made me annoyed and forget about it." Mafu pouted as his surprise failed.

"Niichan!"

Sakata perked up and ran to tackle the raven-haired in a hug. Soraru was about to fall from the force but managed to find his balance before that happened.

"You guys really have a thing with tackling me to death."

Sakata just giggled as he grinned at his brother.

"Glad to see you're doing well." Senra said as the raven-haired smiled.

"Thanks."

"Www. It feels like it's been forever since the last time we saw you." Shima commented as Kashitarou smiled at his friend.

"Hate to say it but you're right, it has."

"Did you happen to get taller?" Amatsuki joked as Soraru rolled his eyes.

"So here's our most famous idol, Soraru." Kashitarou teased as the raven-haired rolled his eyes, again.

"Kashi that's wrong, he isn't famous yet." Mafu said as he grinned at the older.

"Wwww. But once niichan does become famous, Mafu will have to figure out how to stop the fans from trying to get him."

Mafu paled at the thought of fans trying to take Soraru away from him. He already had to deal with some in the school but fans of a singer is a whole different story. The older could tell that Mafu seemed kinda afraid and decided to reassure him.

"You don't have to worry, out of all those thousands of fans. You'll be the only special one."

Mafu blushed at the older's comment and covered his face as the others laughed and teased the albino. Urata just rolled his eyes before giving the the raven-haired an amused look.

"What are we, chopped liver?" Urata sarcastically said as Soraru smirked at him.

"Does the tanuki want to feel special too?"

"Oi!"

"Don't worry you have Sakata."

Soraru removed himself from his brother's hug and pushed him towards the brunette. The redhead was processing what was happening for a few seconds before hugging the brunette. Urata blushed as Sakata giggled, the brunette glared at the raven-haired.

"This is just lime back then." Kashitarou said as they all remember about the past.

They had to face some troubles, but in the end everything worked out.

"Only one more year for you guys and then all of us will actually have to do something with our lives." Shima pointed out as the four younger ones smiled.

"We'll then be too busy to talk to each other like this." Urata pointed out as the others slightly frowned.

They would eventually have less time to hang out and talk about things.

"Wwww. No matter what, we're all still going to be friends. Even if we're apart." Amatsuki grinned.

"Leave it to Amatsuki to think on the positive side." Senra commented as the brunette grinned even more.

"I'm glad we met you guys."

Sakata looked at the brunette, happiness clearly written on his face, as Urata smiled at him and hugged the redhead. The others smiled too as they all joked around. Soraru watched the scene, these guys. He laughed to himself as the others chatted with one another, Mafu was wrapped in the raven-haired's arms, a bright smile on his face.

"Thanks guys for everything."
