A figure was resting in the infirmary. Ever since the whole class found out she and Keiichi were living together, people had been hassling her with questions. She tried to deny everything but Keiichi was too honest for his own good.

She didn't realize the reporter was eavesdropping on them. "This room is a good hiding place, for now."

His guardian is on holiday; she won't be back for a while. Kahoko had volunteered to let him stay at her house, for the time being.


She pretended to sleep, when she heard the doorknob. Without a second thought, he kissed her. Keiichi? She found herself paralysed to move. The kiss was ever so sweet. "You've surprised me." "I should've asked for your permission," he said softly. "You don't need to," she laughs.

"So how are you finding it?" "I'm happy to live with you, Kahoko," he was resting his head on her lap, like usual. She plays with his blonde hair. He called me by my name. Her heart thumped rapidly. She thought he was asleep, when he embraced her tightly. She sworn his eyes turned cloudy for a second, then it was gone. She disregards the thought. Without any warning, he pinned her down on the bed.

"Keiichi." He hovers over her. It startled her at first, but she felt this sense of thrill. The look that he gave her sent chills all over her body. He trailed butterfly kisses down her neck and to her collarbone. "Please stop that, you know I'm ticklish." She couldn't help but giggle.

They had been kissing until they were out of breath. She squealed when he marked her twice on her neck.

When someone entered the room, they kept silent. "I thought I heard voices. I must be hearing things, maybe I should cut down on my coffee," the nurse sighed. Kahoko had an urge to laugh; however she decided against it. Keiichi was holding her in his arms. It's a good thing the curtain was closed; otherwise they would be in trouble. When the nurse left. She sighed in relief. "Keiichi, how am I supposed to hide these hickeys?" "You can borrow my muffler," he suggested. "I don't think you are allowed to wear it in class," she sweat dropped. She was about to give up when she saw a concealer on the desk. Luckily nobody noticed.

They would hide, whenever the members of the newspaper club chased them. The two would run home together after school, hand in hand.


At Hino's residence, he had been sleeping in the guest room. "Sweetie wake up," she gently shook his shoulder. It's hard to wake up Keiichi every morning. "Mrs. Shimizu," he said in a sleepy voice. "Mrs. Shimizu? We're not even married yet." A faint blush swept across her cheeks. He would make an adorable husband. It was the cutest sight when he woke up. He had a bed head as he rubbed his eye. She softly laughs. "Kahoko, I want to be by your side always." "You're so sweet, I feel the same."

You mean everything to me, my beloved Keiichi.
