Maehara and Isogai and walking to E-3's swimming pool out of earshot from the rest of the class.

The blondish boy sighs and rubs his chin "Who should I go for next?"

The brown haired boy sighs "You've hit on almost every girl in class. All that left are Hara, Fuwa, and Rinka. And Ritsu but she's a machine."

The blondish boy thinks for a moment "And Meg. She's pretty cute. Smart too."

"Don't go for Meg." Isogai says not as calmly as he thought.

"Hmm? Why not?" Maehara asks

Isogai rubs his arm and looks to the side "I just don't think she's good for you."

Maehara's not blind. He notices the blush on his best friends cheek and knows his nervous quirks but decides to play dumb.

"You never have a problem with that though? I think I'm gonna ask her out tomorrow."

Isogai looks at him desperately "You can't!!"

A small smile escapes Maehara's lips "Why not? It's not like you to be so against me asking out a cute girl?"

Isogai gulps "Meg's just not for you alright. Don't ask her out."

"Oh? Why are you trying so desperately to not have me ask her out?"

"Because well um…"

Maehara's smile widen and he pokes his best friends cheeks "Oh I think I know? Could it be you like her??"

Isogai blushes and glances towards her before looking at the floor "No. Shut up and get that smirk off your face."

Karma and Rio both over heard and are on each side of their male class representative.

Rio "Ohhh? What's this??"

Karma "Does the ikemen have a crush on his follow class rep??"

Isogai shivers being startled by the two teasing demons "Sh-Shut up!! I do not!!"

Maehara "You two out."

Karma and Rio surprisingly obey and leave (to question Meg).

Isogai sighs "Thanks for getting rid of them."

Maehara shrugs "No prob. Now spill it."

"Ehhhh?!?!" Isogai exclaims turning red.

Maehara fights back a smile 'He's so cute when embarrassed. Glad he still has normal teenage Isogai qualities sometimes and isn't always focused on work.' He thinks to himself.

Maehara pokes his best friends chest where his heart his "Come on? I'm curious about what made you fall for Meg?"

Isogai looks over to her.

Meg's walking with her friends smiling. She laughs at a joke and Isogai feels his heart jump.

Maehara puts his arm around him "I'm coming over your place tonight. You have tonight off remember. I'll buy us dinner. By us yes I your whole family. Don't bother talking me out of it or trying to pay me back. We both know how it works."

Isogai smiles and hugs his best friend "Thanks Maehara!!"

Maehara blushes faintly. To faintly for anyone to notice.

"Maehara?"

"Yeah?"

"You're the best."

"Yeah yeah love ya too bro."

"I know." Isogai says smiling

'If only you did…' Maehara thinks with an encouraging smile.
