Rise couldn't be happier walking on her way to the Dojima household. She was going to spend time with her favorite person in the world: the visiting Yu Narukami.
"I bet Senpai will be so happy to see me, " thought Rise, " It's been so long since we've hung out." Rise had gotten up at nearly the crack of dawn (Or as early as a high school student could be expected to wake up) to make sure she'd get the opportunity to spend the day with Yu.
After the gang's welcoming to Yu at the party (as well as Kanji's failure) the teens had hung out for hours, enjoying the feeling of completeness again. Despite her excitement, Rise had to leave early for a vocal lesson, but not without taking Yu away from Naoto temporarily and applying a kiss to his cheek (which earned her the strongest glare the detective could give). This was fortunate for her, however, as it gave her the opportunity to go to bed early and subsequently get up earlier.
Before she knew it, Rise had found herself standing at the Dojima's doorstep. She knocked on the door and waited a moment. Within a few seconds, Nanako threw open the door and jumped to give Rise a hug, "Rise-chan! You're here! But why are you so early?"
Rise responded with, "I wanted to hang out with Senpai today. He just got back, and I've been missing him. Would you mind if I went up and got him."
"Sure Rise-chan."
Thanking the young girl, Rise made her way upstairs or Yu's room, and almost opened the door before coming to her senses. "Hey, Senpai might be doing something dirty in there. He might be thinking about me while he's doing it to!" Despite her squeals, Rise had no interest in catching Yu in any of his...activities... so she knocked on the door.
She heard a gasp come from behind the door, as well as some shuffling. She briefly wondered what Yu could be doing in there, before the door suddenly opened.
Yu stood there, breathless, and he said, "Hey Rise, what are you doing here?"
Laughing sat her senpai's behavior, Rise told him, "I haven't seen you so long, so I wanted to spend some time with you today." The idol's smile was almost contagious, but she was curious what Yu was so nervous about. "What, Senpai? Has my new look left you breathless," said Rise, trying to look into his room.
"No," Yu stated, trying to salvage his pride, "Just surprised to see you this early, that's all." Despite his words, Yu continued to look nervous, and tried to keep his body over the gap in the door. "I'll be downstairs In a few minutes, okay?"
"Okay," responded Rise, "See you, Senpai." Yu gratefully smiled and closed the door right afterwards. If it was even possible, Rise's smile got even larger. "He was totally thinking about me," she thought smugly as she walked down the stairs.
Yu let a sigh of relief out when he closed the door, saying out loud, "Okay, she's gone. You can come out now." After he said this, Yu saw a blue head of hair slowly move its way out from under the blankets.
"Well, how am I supposed to get out of here without Rise or Nanako seeing me," asked the detective.
Yu responded while getting his clothes on, "As much as I would like to help you, I have to get going before Rise thinks anything is going on." He stops before thinking and asking, "You could always just face them downstairs and come with us."
Naoto retorts with, "Senpai, it took me two weeks after we told them for me to kiss you around them. It's possible the experience of seeing Rose downstairs will kill me."
Yu answers with, "Okay, whatever makes you comfortable." After putting on his clothes, he walks to the door and says, "Love you, got to go," before giving Naoto a kiss goodbye and walking out the door.
With a sigh, Naoto fell back onto the bed, thinking to herself, "Well, detective, how are you going to get out of this one?"
