Author's note: I do not own Special A. I'm just a fan of the wonderful series. XD Chapter 1
"You lost again, No. 2-san." Smiled Kei triumphantly as he won yet another one of Hikari's challenged. This time, their match was of tennis. "Just you wait, Takishima! I'll definitely beat you next time!" Hikari angrily yelled back. "I can't wait." Takishima chuckled lightly.
It had been a few months after that night alone with Hikari on the rooftop and the fireworks, and Kei was still madly in love with Hikari. Seeing her as energetic as ever pleased Kei greatly. "Nice game, Kei." Tadashi called out to Kei as they entered the men's lounge/shower room of the gym, "But…" "'But what', Tasdashi?"Kei said as he was wiping his sweat-ridden face with a towel. "Kei, you should really take it easy on Hikari." Tadashi said while chewing a bit of Akira's pastry. "If this goes on, you two won't ever get married." Kei felt a boulder hit his head. He remembered that Hikari would only marry him if she finally beat him in a challenge. "I'm not worried." Kei recovered quickly. "Besides, you know that Hikari would just hate me if I didn't compete with her 100%." "Well, whatever. But graduation's coming up real soon, Kei. Are you really going to be satisfied with the way things are? Since you know…" Tadashi stopped to take a bite out of his pastry. "Know what?" Kei impatiently asked Tadashi. "Well, since we'll be leaving S.A. and that means the seven of us probably won't be together anymore since we'll be going to different universities, I mean Jun and Megumi will probably go to a university that majors on music. Ryuu will probably go to either a veterinary school or a university that will ready him to succeed his father's company. Akira will probably go into baking or be a flight attendant so she can help with her family's company. I, myself, am going to a university of my mother's choice so that I can succeed her. (After I travel the world of course). And you'll probably go to overseas someplace like England to attend University there, right? Hikari would most probably choose a normal university close to her home. That also means that Hikari won't be protected by the walls of this greenhouse and she'll be surrounded with other people- other men. Maybe she'll fall in love with another guy there… Are you really not worried?" *bang* Kei's fist smashed through the wall, the thought of other men getting close to Hikari made him angry. "I'm not worried at all. It may not be obvious but Hikari and I are dating each other. She'll remain faithful to me. Besides, Mother and Grandfather already approved of us." "That's what I'm telling you. It isn't obvious that you and Hikari are a couple. Don't get me wrong, knowing Hikari, even if you died, she'd probably stay single the rest of her life just to honor your love." Tadashi tried to calm Kei down. Kei smiled a little, he liked the thought of Hikari not belonging to anyone else. "But, hypothetically speaking, while you're over at England rubbing elbows with the finest… What if she does find someone else at university and end up breaking up with you? I mean, it's not like you guys are married or anything." This made Kei laugh. "Actually Tadashi, I don't think that's possible." "Why would that be?" Tadashi was confused and a little surprised at Kei's reaction."Hikari's really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really dense remember? It took her 10 years just to realize her feelings for me." Kei felt a little sad on the inside as he remembered all the past difficulties he encountered trying to make Hikari realize his feelings for her sooner. "Oh, right. Well, still… You should go easy on her sometimes and make sure she won't notice." Tadashi finally left, looking for more of Akira's pastries to munch on.
After classes
"Hikariiii!" Akira glomped her friend as soon as they met. As usual, Hikari was the only one attending the classes while the others slacked off at the center of the greenhouse garden. "Akira? What's wrong?" "Tadashi ate all my pastries again! I was looking forward to eating them with you with some tea." cried Akira. "Hush now, Akira. I'm sure Tadashi just ate them all because he loves your cooking so much." Hikari petted her gently. Akira blushed a little. "Th-that's right, Akira." crawled a severely beaten up Tadashi with a thumbs up, "So how about you forgive me and make me more of those delicious sweets." "Go die on the mountains, Tadashi!" Akira threw Tadashi into a place far, far away and Hikari was left to console Akira again. "Hikari…" Kei called out to her. "Oh. Takishima. What's up?" Hikari continued to pet Akira's head. "Are you busy?" "I was just going to head home to do my daily routine of training then studying. Why?" Kei felt a little jealous that Hikari was mostly focusing on comforting Akira than talking to him, plus it annoyed the hell out of him that she was hugging her tightly. "I was actually wondering since we're a COUPLE now, I'd like to invite you out to dinner?" he showed his usual smile despite his seething jealousy. He made sure he stressed the word 'couple' as a cue for Akira to back off… which of course was to no avail. Hikari blushed at the sudden invitation, "I-I, um, not ready for dinner with you… Since I'm sure you'll be taking me to some nice, fancy restaurant…" Hikari was fumbling with her words, "I-I have nothing to wear to some fancy place." Ever attentive when it comes to dressing up Hikari, Akira's ears perked up and smirked. "Don't worry, Hikari! I'll help you! I have had my eye on the cutest little dress for you…" she was pulling Hikari now. "Just text me where you'll be taking her, Kei! She'll be ready by 7 o'clock!" they left without even giving Kei a chance to speak.
