The things that go better, are the ones that are not planned and for them two was the best.

Who would say that everything would start with a simple can of the sweetest coffee there was.

A coffee that was part of his daily routine. Something that he buys without fail during his lunch and the end of both regular and extracurricular activities, a coffee that anyone can buy but that for them is already a mark of their something special.

Everything happened on any Friday, a Friday where he was informed that He didn't go to his club and he felt relieved, but at the same time a little downhearted too, He is used to that club and its members. The person in charge of informing him that the activities of the club were not going to be performed was Yukinoshita, it seems that he was going to go with Yuigahama somewhere, they would probably go to his apartment for one night only for the two of them ... that sounded very strange, but it does not take away the fact that it could be true since knowing how is Yuigahama insisted on making a sleepover.

Leaving the main building he found a vending machine, but for his rotten eyes was not any vending machine, it was a special made only for MAX COFFE, it was as if it were a gift from the gods. He entered the exact amount for three cans, one for the road and another two for when he gets home. It looks like it's his lucky day.

His route was simple, when leaving the institute it passed by a corner with a 7 / Eleven in which this machine was, so He walked close of a fast food place and finally place of orientation, a park that its longer of its time was empty and only once in a while there were one or two children with their mothers taking care of them, and he was already in the residential area where his house was.

Enjoying his MAX COFFE together with his music, it was a perfect combination for a little cold weather, but he did not complain about that annoying breeze, in the end it was nice. Passing through the fast food restaurant, He sow a couple who are almost familiar to him and others, who are not other than the vice president and the secretary of the student council, it was not unusual to see them together, but in a fast food place is strange, possibly it will be a signal and meet someone else, which leads you to remember something more.

-Today the atmosphere in classes, after lunch was quite tense - His suspicions and one of his 108 skills turned out to be quite successful

Something happened during the lunch that caused all his class to be silent, even Hiratsuka-sensei noticed it strange, giving him a look at him as a possible suspect, but he also noticed that he was equally surprised by the atmosphere that each and every one gave off. of the present that was not other than discomfort, yes, definitely something serious happened, but can feeling something more, someone is down, is in the back, but does not pay more attention because the class is ready to start.

Returning to the present he continued his route home, he did not want to get involved in something that would ruin his free afternoon, so he returned to his predestined path, his bed and his MAX COFEE. But there is something strange, something that has uncomfortable and is the fact that He wants to know what happened during lunch, at that time was on the roof, his second favorite place to eat and not be bothered, and just when he returns there is that atmosphere completely depressing and horrible.

-I suppose it will not do any badness if I check in my memory who could be the cause - he said himself, something that was unusual but that atmosphere was not very pleasant and if he could put his hand so that everything was resolved and avoid those feelings that even the affected ones were fine.

-Very well, first was Saki, from what I remember, she seemed oblivious to anything, and just as I was uncomfortable with the atmosphereso She is discarded -

Since Saki like Hachiman, disappears from the classroom to find a quieter place.

-Totsuka was just like me when I arrived, I did not know what was happening, He was at the court of the training club, so he is dismissed as guilty, but he was also the same Yuigahama, hmm ... I guess they come in the same package of '' No suspects '' -

Totsuka being the president of the tennis club is very busy in the morning, lunch and after school, while Yuigahama was clearlying with Yukinoshita in the club room having lunch and talking, that makes Yukinoshita a material witness.

-Very well eliminating those two ... well three, there would only be the perfect lord, Tobe, the two unimportant idiots, Ebina and Miura, I think I'll see what was with those three idiots-

-Well, the three idiots before I left the room were still doing their antics and laughing like unattached maniacs, but when they left, they fell silent, I guess Miura stopped them from any impulse of idiocy [1] that had happened to them get through of his non-existent brains, I could hear that Miura said something, but I'm not completely sure what it was -

The triumvirate of morons was doing the usual thing, but something after returning to the classroom was different, and it was that they were a little uncomfortable and nervous, and they were constantly looking back and to their right.

-But back was Hayama and on the right was Ebina and Miura ... then it's something that happened between one of those three, but, Ebina cannot be, because she is ... well you already understand the point, so it had to be between Miura and Hayama, something that would leave everyone uncomfortable ... Wait! - He stopped his walk when he realized the only possibility of such atmosphere and mood of the class after lunch- It couldn't be that, the only and last thing he expected It would happen ... A confession-

All the pieces fit in place at the moment of revealing the truth, whether it is someone who destroyed a notebook until it was discovered who was guilty of a murder, there were always clues that revealed the truth of who had done it and why, but in this case I had a only suspect who would be able to dare to make such audacity.

-Miura Yumiko, I cannot believe you have done such audacity, is worthy to admire but declare you in the middle of classes, and by his mood I guess the answer was a resounding NO, ahh ... this is a problem- I knew that Miura Yumiko was someone of care, not only for his sharp tongue but also for being a more daring woman than the others, getting to the point of attacking someone who is bothering one of their friends, something like a mother hen or a mother cat ... Mother cat is better to She.

-Now the class will be with that air of discomfort because of ... those ... two- His inner voice diminished as he also stopped slowly, the reason was simple, he had already reached the park that was close to his residence area, but there were no children, instead there was a person, and who was just someone from which he was internally speaking.

Her blond hair that bathed in this light looked golden, the figure of a porcelain doll that left many women envious, and eyes with a fiery emerald gaze that captivated any man, and even with her red eyes and almost damaged makeup, she looked just as beautiful.

-I do not want to get involved, but ... if something happens to her and they discover that I was the last one to see her I think, I just think that things will get worse than Sagami's ... -

-Well, here we go- Approaching slowly to the current decayed woman sitting just and by chance in the center of the park, Hachiman tried not to look suspicious and not to do worse sat down at his side, but it seems that She is in another world since she does not react to the small tremor of the seat when He sat down.

-Well, while I'm here nothing can happen to her, right? I'll just stay here until I react and get ready to go home, this will be my good action of the day, being the non-contracted bodyguard of the Queen of Fire ja ja-

She was not in a hurry to go home, since Komachi would stayed at a friend's house to finish a student council job and would not arrive until tomorrow afternoon, on the other hand, her parents were always late and did not give much importance to what he did so he can arrive at the time he wants, although just right now he wants to arrive and proceed with a negotiation with the pillow.

- '' How long will you stay here, Hikio? '' - Her voice was very low, but he could hear it clearly

- '' The time it takes until you go home '' - he answered sincerely, there was no need to lie at this moment, it was a waste of energy

- '' It seems that you became a stalker '' -

- '' The only thing I want to hound is the Color of Magic [2] '' -

- A book? It seems you gave up the women '' -

- ''No, but I prefer to see something that I am completely sure that will not hit me or call the police when judging me for my appearance'' - that compound sentence seems to had some effect since ... was he laughing?

- ''Hahahaha you're a lost cause''- his voice seemed to recover some strength

At that moment his eyes caught something that would remain etched in his mind for a long time, his laughter and his smile, even with his dull eyes and red eyes, even with his tousled hair could see the most beautiful smile that until now nobody had Given, a completely sincere smile, a smile that no one had ever givenhim, at that moment she knew that like him, she needed someone she could trust without fear of being left alone, a support to avoid falling in the abyss of loneliness, something he had already seen with his rotten eyes.

- ''I suppose you know what happened today''- Her question was loaded with several emotions, but the one that stood out was shame

- ''In fact, no, but more or less I was able to suppose that was what happened''-

- ''So,can I ask you something?'' -

- ''Of course, as long as it's not personal, I suppose it's fine''-

- ''What do you think I should do?'' -

- ''I don't think that I'm the best person to tell you''-

- ''No, You are not the right person ...'' -

- ''Then so ...'' –

- ''You are just the perfect person to asking''-

To say that it was a surprise that declaration is to fall short, those words would never have been expected from anyone and less of the Fire Queen, Miura Yumiko.

Those words show that She trusts, even a little in him, She knows what is Hikigaya Hachiman able to do.

- ''What do you mean with that? - He asks, He wants to know the reason why he said such words, because He knows that, if Se says them, it will be for some reason

- ''I know all you had to do to make that none of us feel uncomfortable between us, what you had to made for one's name were stained, I know about every one of those sacrifices that you had made-

- ''Who told you? -

- ''Nobody, I've been watching You-

- '' Huh? You ... You were seeing me ...? '' Ok that's definitely weird, who are You and what did You do with the Miura that I know! -

- ''Yes, p-but don't make strange ideas, I wanted to know the why that reputation of the most hated of Sobu, I was curious because from one moment to another You went from being a loner that nobody knew who are you, for after to be hated practically for all and some teachers too-

- ''Wait! Even the teachers ... this is bad''-

- ''Ah! But not in a bad way, just that they did not like that you solved those problems in that way, they say they could have been solved in another way''-

- ''Ha, sounds like something that Hiratsuka-sensei would say''-

- ''She and more teachers think the same, that some of those problems did not have matter at all, although I think it's because by Hiratsuka-sensei that they know everything about you''-

- ''I think it's a little late to worry about that now- His answer was a surprise, since it was full of hate and it sounded completely dejected - But leaving that aside and the fact that we are deviating from the main issue, what do you want to tell you? You know I'm not a better counselor'' -

- ''I don't think it's like that, I think and I know you're good in these cases, besides ... I don't know what to do now or who to talk'' -

- "Okay, but first tell me what happened, I know there was a confession, but I don't know the details, so I need that you illustrate me." Although I do not think it's good to have her remember something like that''-

- ''Well ... I confessed to Hayato as you can already know ... but I think it was not the smart thing to do in the middle of the classroom, and because of my current state, his answer is more than obvious''-

- '' Did He tell You a simply not or invented an excuse? '' -

- '' He told me that He already liked someone '' -

- Ufff that was a dirty bass hit Hayama, you're a heartless-

- '' But now I don't know what to do or what to say him'' -

- '' Well I think it is time to give my super motivational speech, and it's good that it's for someone who at least has some confidence in me '' -

During the entire moment of the conversation, Hachiman was preparing the necessary words for the present dejected and sad Queen of Fire, and thus saves valuable time.

- '' After of all, remove that sad puppy face, I feel sorry for others''-

- ''What do you mean by that?!''-

- ''It is exactly that, you are not yourself, the Miura Yumiko that I fear and admire would not be affected by something as stupid as a confession, and it does not matter if it was a cat or Hayama, do not let it affect you, keep Straight, don't break, and believe me when I tell you that the harpies hope to see you badly in order to attack so defend your position as one of the most beautiful girls in Sobu. And about the confession, do not pay much attention, Hayama loses an excellent girlfriend '' -

- ... -

- ... -

- ... -

- ''Hey, say to ... '' - His demand was stopped by an inexplicable reaction of the woman who is currently sitting a few centimeters from him.

Without realizing, Miura got close enough to hear better, but he did not realize that such words would have a different effect. A Miura completely ashamed and with her face dyed in a bright red looked at him closely, and it was at that moment that she realized something crucial ...

-Wait a moment ... THAT WAS NOT WHAT HE WANTED TO SAY-

Avoiding the look of each other, they remained in silent for a long time, but it would be no other than the Queen of Fire which would speak first, breaking the tension that had been generated between the two.

- '' Hikio, why do you hold me in such high esteem? We almost never talk, the times that we have done it is because of the two requests to your club and the warning I gave you on the trip to Kyoto. '' -

- '' Your concern for your friends '' -

- ''My concern?'' -

- '' Yes, you worry about your friends to such an extent that you would do anything to protect them, that is a quality that I like very much '' -

- '' I see, it's good to know '' -

They had been sitting there for a long time, and their MAX COFEE can have also been finished for a long time, without hesitation he opened his bag and before removing a can, he chose to take both.

- ''Take, Miura '' - he said, offering to her a can of his favorite coffee

- '' Huh? What is this? coffee?'' -

- '' Well, considering how long you've been here I guess you'll be thirsty, although I think coffee is not a good option '' - Hachiman tried to remove the can from his sight, but to his surprise, She took it before He did it.

- '' I've always been curious about this coffee, you always enter classes with a can

- '' Well, I do not know if it's exactly to your liking, it's sweet '' -

- '' Hmm who would say that you like sweet things, Hikio '' -

- '' Life is very bitter, and to remedy it, at least coffee has to be sweet '' -

- '' Hahaha that idea pleases me, I like sweet, but I've never tasted such a sweet coffee '' -

- '' Well, I think it's a good start '' -

- '' I think so, thank you '' -

As She spokes Her words, Miura set out to take a sip of the favorite coffee of the longest loner of all times. When She tried it, She noticed something, and that is that the coffee was really sweet but it was not cloying and it was warm enough to be nice to drink it. Her eyesight was from the can to Her companion who was enjoying his at this time too, but it was strange, He is known to be unpleasant and creepy, but it is more like this coffee than you could imagine. His social suicides seem to be a way of attracting attention, but in reality, he seeks to make everyone get along at the expense of his own reputation, and that is quite sweet but sad, also his presence is not at all unpleasant, it is completely the opposite, She finds it completely comforting and pleasant to know that He is there to help her as much as possible,in the end, He is more like this coffee than anything else.

- '' I think it's time to go home, it's getting late '' –

- '' I'll accompany you, where do you live? '' -

- '' I just have to go straight a few streets and go to the left in a detour, you don't need to accompany me '' -

- '' But you go practically in the same direction as me, only that I go to the right ''

- '' Do you live so close? Why have I never seen you? "-

- '' Well, it seems that you always leave early from home, and I sometimes go by bicycle, so I take alternative routes '' -

- '' I think it's bad luck not met, but now it will be different '' -

- '' Eh? '' -

- '' What do you think if we meet at the crossing on Monday, around 7:00 AM? Of course, if you agree '' - a happy proposal came out of nowhere, but even more surprising was the response received.

- '' Sure, I see no reason to deny myself '' -

A proposal that came out of nowhere was accepted without protest, He does not see this as a problem, for a short time He has been wondering how will be The Queen of Fire, The Queen Bee, Miura Yumiko without his fiery and deadly character. For her too, her proposal was not told at random, She wanted to know more about the loner wolf, creepy eyes, Hikigaya Hachiman, removing that cover of bitterness and annoyance.

Going to their destination, they walked in a quite pleasant silence, walking a few inches between them and their eyes fixed to the front, although occasionally they looked to see if their companion was still at their side and they soon reached their destination.

- '' Well, here We separate '' - She said with her muffled voice, for now She did not want to be alone

- '' I guess, see you on Monday '' - turning around, He was about to leave when She grabbed his arm

- '' Can I ask for one last favor? '' - An almost pleading voice escapes from her lips, but remains firm enough to not seem otherwise

- '' Ahh ... it's fine. What do you need? '' -

- '' In fact, there are 3 favors, but one is for now ... Give me your phone '' -

- '' Oh? My phone? For what?'' -

- '' Just give it to me! '' - Paying attention to the order of the almost sexy blonde in front of him, He hand him his phone, taking only 1 minute and then returning it to him

- '' So, what are the other two favors remaining? '' -

- '' The second is that I want another coffee of that in the lunch on Monday and the third is ... a secret '' -

- '' Well, MAX COFFE is not a problem, but, why is the last onea secret? '' -

- '' I'll tell you when I see that it's the right time, but believe me, you'll benefit a lot from this, you'll get something pretty good '' -

- Spooky! very afraid! I hope it's good or I'll have to use a Max Repellent [3] '' -

- '' Well, see you then '' -

- '' Sure, Until Monday, Hikio '' -

Both left for home, thinking about this little meeting, which being sincere was strangely pleasant. Hikigaya did not think that this would lead to this particular meeting, never thought that He would be so long with her, not even that he would be next to her talking as if it were the most normal thing in the world, but it happened, and judging by their interaction something said to him that this would happen more times, but He does not dislike the idea at all.

But for Miura, this was a gift sent by the gods. His confession was a disaster, but it was not all bad, he could talk to him, She wanted to talk to him, because at the end of all, his confession was to solve his doubts, doubts that were reaching a point where they needed to be resolved.

Doubts that, if they had followed, would have given more than one heartbreaking stab in the chest.

But they were resolved, from a bad rejection to a comforting talk, from brilliant and fantasy to real and true.

A confession to leave doubts and a talk to proof if it is true.

She change a Golden Retriever for a Wolf, the extravagance for simplicity, pure admiration for love.

And She does not regret anything

He is alike to that sweet coffee

And she is already making it in her favorite drink.
