CHAPTER 1

The ticking clock lingers within the still room. Tenants of the dorm usually went out during night time, no curfew was established within the organization. Since their duty themselves was to expedite during the night.

But nontheless sat the red-vested boxer alone; crossing both legs and arms in a restless manner. Tapping his feet to the rhytm of the clock. Anxiety lingers in between. Adjacent to him, sat his good childhood friend; Shinjiro. He was skimming through his monthly Cooking Magazine with full attentiveness. Ignoring the said boxer. But Akihiko was impatient.

The beanie clad man stiffens his shoulders in alarm as Akihiko abruptly stood up. His heart rate was speeding up as he approached his friend.

"Shinji, w-what do you think about her?"

"...Huh?"

"You know what I'm-"

Akihiko halted; His angst subsides. Took a deep breath and steadily asked once more.

"It's Minako. What do you think of her?"

Shinjiro stood in silence. To be honest, he wanted to avoid this conversation as much as he could. But he knew this was an inevitable case.

"...Well, she's a good fighter."

His hoarse voice muttered.

"...No, that's not what I-"

"I know."

Which ended the conversation then and there. He resumed with his reading and tried to seem indifferent. The boxer, troubled by his friend's response took him by his collar and snarled.

"Don't you dare try to avoid this matter!"

Akihiko barked.

"You know this concerns the both of us!"

"W-what the hell are you talking about?!... Let me go, Dammit!"

"I'm not gonna lose to you, Shinji."

The red-vested boxer lets go of his strong grip and scoffed harshly at his friend.

"Tch... Do what you want."

Shinjiro repaired his crooked collar, and left the lobby ascending the stairs in silence.

...

"...I won't lose to you either, dumbass."


AUTHOR'S NOTES

Haha, o god hello! I'm mi-neee. This is my first ever publish. I have always loved both Shinji and Aki's love routes in P3P and I would really want to write something like this!

I know for a fact that there are lots of similar stories like this... but heck I did it anyway.

Please bear with me if there are any grammatical errors, since english isn't my first language.
