Ren was in an awkward situation. He was laying down/pushed down on his couch while his favorite girl was lying on top of him.

"TSURUGA-SAAAAAAAAAAAN!" Ren turns around to see a shocking pink blob hurtling his way.
"Where's the fire, Mogami-san?" He said chuckling. She beamed and Ren was staring at her longer than necessary. Was she always this….cute….and beautiful? I hope she doesn't go into cutie-honey mood in front of other guys. Ren thought. Then he saw the beautiful face morph into a depressed face.
"I need your help with my new role!" She wailed. She came hurtling at me…to ask me this? He thought. She squirmed," And, um, can we do it at your place? My role is a bit…embarrassing."
Oh God. "Sure. My schedule ends at 9pm at the earliest and at 10:30pm at the latest. If I am late, you know where the key is right?" He asks. She nods.
"Thank you so much, sempai!" She bows and trots away. Tsuruga-san is so nice. I always feel welcomed, safe, wanted- wait what! She starts shaking her head furiously. I need to concentrate on my role. So Miya is a sexy, cool school girl that is loved by everyone. She's the daughter of a major company so her father is always setting her up with rich men. But she starts falling in love with her butler. Even though the butler also loves her, he knows he can't be with her. Then a maid comes in trying to steal him away. Then Miya has to decide between her father or Rui, the man she loves. Also somewhere along the line she gets cancer and ends up dying and becoming Rui's guardian angel. Man, this will be a bit tough. I don't think I can play as someone in love, let alone in a secret romance! I hope Tsuruga-san can help. WHAT AM I SAYING of course he can! He is the best sempai in the world. She feels the blush rising in her cheeks. She walks out of the building and gets on her abused bike and rides back to the Darumya.
Meanwhile, Ren walks over to the President's office. He inhales and exhales sadly and opens the door to see what the President will throw at him.
"Good to see you Ren!" The President booms. Today's outfit theme was Greek. He wore a toga and the sandals.
"What is it this time?" Ren asks with a dark aura.
"Gosh, why is it that every time I ask you to come to my office, you assume that I am going to do something odd?" He asks with his face full of fake shock.
"Because you are the President." Ren says bluntly. The President rolls his eyes and waves Ren over to sit in a chair in front of him. While Ren sits, he watches the President with caution.
"I have another role for you."
"That's it? That's the reason why you called me here? For a role?"
"The role isn't the reason why I called you here. It's who is in it."
"Wait, you can't mean-"
"Yes."
"Mogami-san is going to be in it?" He groans. Lory eyes him, suspiciously.
"No…I wasn't talking about her." But she is in it but let's keep that a surprise. Lory thinks.
"Then who is it?"
"Really? I am not the person you think of when he says who?" a voice says accusingly. Ren's eyes widen with fear and shock. It can't be. Not her. Not now. A blonde woman gracefully emerges from the grand doors with a blonde man on her side. The woman pouts and puts her hands on her hips.
"You two." Ren says, breathlessly.
"Kuon! It's been too long, my baby!" Julie squeals in delight while strangling Ren with a bear hug.
"Now, now honey. Don't scare him." Kuu says.
"What are you two doing here?" he asks.
"Hey, is that a way to greet your parents?" Julie says while glaring at him.
"Sorry…..it's great to see you, but seriously why are you two here?" Ren asks.
"Didn't Boss tell you?" Kuu asks while looking at Lory with confusion.
"I was going to but you two barged in!" Lory complains.
"I'm sorry; I just wanted to see my baby as soon as I could. I couldn't hold in my excitement any longer!" Julie wails.
"Its fine," sigh Julie is still a softie." Anyways, Ren, you're parent's will be playing the parents of Ky- the female lead role." He glared at Kuu and Julie a meaningful message. Don't tell Kuon that Kyoko will be playing in this drama or else. They nodded furiously while Ren was oblivious.
"Thanks for the heads up, President. I would've had a heart attack if I saw them all of a sudden at my job. So when is the meeting?" Ren asks. Lory raises an eyebrow.
"You are accepting the role?"
"Of course. I'm not going to turn down a job just because my parents are going to be in it."
"You've grown so much, Kuon!" Julie exclaimed with delight. Kuu nodded in satisfaction even though he wanted to give him a big hug.
"Good. The drama is called My Angel. The director is Takashima Ryuu. I think you've worked with him right?" Ren nodded," So you know how….his behavior is. Okay, Kuu, you might want to shield your wife away from Ryuu. He tends to like….beautiful people." Kuu immediately when into protective mood. Julie laughs.
"So Boss how about telling us when and where the meeting is?" Kuu asks.
"Ah, the meeting is here in Room 1127 on floor 5 and it's going to be in two days. Oh, Ren you will, obviously, be playing the male lead role." Lory informed them while handing Ren the script. Ren nods while taking the script and starts skimming it.
"So, who's the female lead?" Ren asks, innocently. Lory blinks.
"They haven't decided yet." He lies and shoots another glare at the blonde couple who nods like their lives depend on it. He smiles a smile that clearly says: Don't blow it or else I am never letting you two see your grandchildren, okay?
"Man, Dad, you are going to have to act like an asshole! Mom doesn't have many parts." He says.
"Well, I didn't write the story and I've never had this kind of role so I want to try it out." Kuu defends.
"Won't be too hard will it huh Kuu?" Lory says jokingly. Kuu sticks his tongue out like a 5-year old.
"Alright, come on, Kuu. We still have to go to Lory's place to drop off our stuff. Kuon, you better come tomorrow night for dinner. I'll cook!" Julie says excitedly. The other three widen their eyes in horror.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" They all scream in unison.
"Fine," Julie pouts," You guys are so mean! I got better over the years!" she wails. Lory and Ren look at Kuu with their eyebrow raised. But Kuu gives them the NO SHE DIDN'T! SHE ALMOST KILLED ME LAST TIME look.
"We'll let Kuu cook or else we will all end up in the emergency room." Lory says.
"Well…if that's all you wanted to talk about…I'll be leaving. Don't worry, Mom, I'll come over for dinner if Dad cooks." Ren says, while retreating. Julie pouts and mumbles a "fine" and the two men sigh in relief.
"Kuon." Julie says. He turns around," You look great." They both smile at each other.
"Thanks, Mom. So do you."
After Ren tackled his schedule, he headed home and looked at his phone. 11pm, I hope she's inside because she's the only reason I was able to get through this hectic day. The simple thought of her being inside my apartment and maybe cooking will lead me to so many fantasies. Alright, let's see if God wanted to be nice or cruel to me. He slowly turned his key and opened his door ajar. What am I doing, I should just go in.
"Tsuruga-san! You lied to me! You said the latest you'd be home would be 10:30!" a voice said in a disapproving tone. He chuckled.
"Sorry sweetheart, I didn't think you'd be waiting." He says coolly. Then he sees her. Her beautiful face in a scarlet red shade, due to blushing, made him want to cuddle her. But what she was wearing was the biggest surprise. She was wearing a simple strapless, mini black dress. You could see her long, pale legs that were in sheer stockings. Even though it was simple, Ren thought it was the most beautiful thing he has ever seen. He just wanted to stroke those legs and take off that dress and kiss her everywhere he could. But he knew better and restrained himself and put on his poker face. Kyoko looked down at the dress. Does this look bad on me? Tsuruga-san hasn't said anything since he seen me.
"Um, if you want me to change I will…..this is for my role." She asks shyly. Oh yeah I can't tell what anyone what my role is because Sawara-san said it should be a surprise.
"No!" Ren nearly shouts. She jumps in surprise and eyes him curiously. He smiles his heavenly smile that made her demons faint." It looks good on you. So what is your role like?" he asks smoothly while trying to compose himself.
"Oh, well, she's…..supposed to be...um…seductive." She mumbles. Ren's eyes widen.
"Are you going to try and seduce me?" he asks bluntly. They both blush to this blunt question. She nods slowly. Oh god, you just LOVE watching me suffer. Do you have any idea how much it takes to resist kissing and cuddling this girl? Sigh.
"Well….if it's okay." Kyoko whimpers.
"Mogami-san, it's perfectly fine. This is for work right?" He asks while gritting his teeth. Who knew saying this would be so hard?
NO! It's not like that. I want-WHAT AM I THINKING. I WANT TO SEDUCE TSURUGA-SAN! I must be over-heating. She thinks.
"Yes it's all for work. I wouldn't do this to anyone in the first place." She says even though there was a little tugging at her heart. And little did she know that that was also happening to him. Why does this…hurt so much? I know Mogami-san only thinks of me as a sempai but I never knew it would hurt this much. Oh no, she's looking at me worryingly. I need to smile. Ren smiles his gentlemen smile. Kyoko cringes in fear.
"Why are you mad?" She asks innocently. Ren is puzzled. How does she ALWAYS know when I am mad but never knows my feelings?
"I'm not mad, just a bit tired. So let's get started, shall we?" He says trying to sound upbeat. She nods and closes her eyes. Man, I want to just kiss those lips. He starts leaning in and then all of a sudden her eyes snap open. She smiles, sexily.
"Now, now, we can't have Father catching us right?" Kyoko says seductively. Ren is, by then, amazed. Then he starts playing along.
"Why not?" He asks. Kyoko lets out a laugh that sounds like music.
"Because we can't be together! Father would never allow it. He'd probably kill you!" she explains.
"But, I love you and you love me right?" He asks, hopefully.
"Of course…idiot." She mumbles while blushing." See! I always lose my cool when I'm around you. Everyone at school says I am a cool beauty but when I am with you I act like a stupid idiot in love." She says while burying her face in his chest. Ren sighs. Why can't this be reality? He lifts her chin and smiles his real smile.
"I am always like that whenever I see you. I think everyone else saw it before you did." Ren chuckles.
"Even the maids?" She asks. Maids? Let's just go with this, I don't want to end this.
"Yes, even them." He replies in a soft voice. Kyoko hugs him.
"You smell good. I don't think I'll ever get tired of this smell. No one else can smell it okay? It's my sweet smell, only mine." She says with a threatening voice. He chuckles.
"Of course, my princess, only you." He hugs her back. She beams a beautiful smile. She leads them to the kitchen.
"I made some dinner!" She claims. He looks in and sees black goo.
"Um, honey, is this edible?" He asks. Her character can't cook?
"Maybe…not." She admits."Let's order something." She walks to retrieve her phone with Ren following her.
"What are you ordering?" Ren asks.
"Hmm, what do you want?"
"Nothing too heavy, I had a long day."
"Okay, so veggie pizza?"
"Sounds good." He wraps his arms around her small waist. She doesn't flinch though; actually she relaxes in his arms. He leads them to the couch and sits her down on his lap. Normally she would be flustered. I wonder what kind of role she has.
"Hello, can I have a-hey I am trying to order here. Stop touching my legs, it's distracting me!" Kyoko complains. Ren, unwillingly, stops only because he's hungry for once." Sorry for that. I would like a small veggie pizza. No bell peppers and olives. $8.50? Okay thank you. Oh, can you deliver it at Star Apartment, room 210. Yes, thank you." She closes her phone.
"So who's paying?" Ren asks. She raises a brow.
"Me, I have more money." She says like it's the most obvious thing in the world. Hm she's playing a rich girl from what I can gather.
"Well, I'm the guy so I was just wondering." Ren mumbled. Then he felt a soft hand in his hair.
"You can if you want."
"Alright." Ren grabs his wallet from his pocket and sets it at the table. Kyoko starts cuddling in his chest and he holds her hand. He looks down and smiles and, to his surprise, she smiles back.
"How was your day?" Ren asks.
"Boring, I missed you." She pouts. He tilts her chin up and gives a little peck on her cheek and smirks.
"I'm sorry, I missed you too. The only way I get through my day is the thought of seeing you." He says softly into her ear which caused it to get wet. Kyoko giggles and blushes while giving him a peck on his cheek. DING DONG. Ren groans. Now I have to get up. He gets up, unwillingly, and Kyoko surprises him by getting up and following him and wrapping her arm around his. He swings the door open to see a 16-year old guy. The guy looks up and gawks at Ren then he looks over and sees Kyoko and that's when his jaw hit rock bottom. Ren could've sworn he saw drool coming out of the guy's mouth so he quickly wrapped his arm around her waist. Then he quickly whips out a $20 bill, gives it to the guy, grabs the pizza then slams the door.
"Keep the change!" he yells to the door.
"Thank…..you….for…..your…..business." The guy mumbles while regretting that he didn't look at the girl's legs more.
"Jealous?" Kyoko giggles.
"Well of course! He's checking out my girl's body!" He groans. He sets down the pizza on the table.
"I'll go grab us some drinks." She walked over to the kitchen with a little hip movement that made Ren watch." What do you want?"
"Uh," He finally came to his senses," water is fine."
"Okay." She walks back."Hey, so you know that ma-AH!" Ren turns around immediately at Kyoko screaming and he sees her slipping on the tile floor.
"Mogami-san!" he shouts in alarm and holds out his arms. SPLASH! CRASH!
Present
"OH MY GOSH I AM SO SORRY TSURUGA-SAN! I'll clean this up right now!" She shouts but as she was trying to get up she slip again and accidentally elbowed him in his sensitive place.
"OW!" Ren exclaims in pain.
"OH MY GOSH, I AM SOOO SORRY! I'LL MOVE IMMEDIATELY!" she shouts. Ren wraps his arms around her waist.
"Don't move you might elbow me again." Ren lies. I really just want us to stay like this, even for just a little. Okay also a little part of my mind is also thinking that she might elbow me there again.
"O-o-okay.." Kyoko stutters. Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh. I am laying on Tsuruga-san. He has nice abs, I can feel them now because his shirt is wet. He smells really nice, too. She nuzzles her face to smell him more. Wait this might weird him out. She looks up in hope that he didn't realize. But what she sees was what she wasn't expecting. He was smiling his most dazzling, genuine smile that she has ever seen. Until now. Her eyes widened when Ren squeezed her a bit more. I kinda want to stay like this for awhile. NO I CAN'T, I AM HIS KOHAI! I CAN'T! but he smells really good and he's comfortable. I hope this is okay. And little did Kyoko know that Ren was REALLY loving this. She is so small. She fits nicely in my arms and she has a flowery smell coming from her hair. It's relaxing. This really makes up today's hectic day. They both fall asleep due to each other intoxicating smells and the pizza was left untouched the whole night.
Maegie Note: So you will see these. It's like author side notes, but I wanted to make it cuter LOL. Anyways, for Ren's apartment name and number, I totally made those up. But if someone knows the actual name and number can you tell me? That would be awesome(: Also thank you to my sister who helped me correct some grammar mistakes! I think this will only be 8 or so chapters, depending on how long my chapters are. Please point out anything I missed or messed up on! Thank you for reading this chapter and long Maegie Note. Please keep reading. I'll try my best. FIGHT-O \ (^o^) /
