One thing Mori Ai knows for sure, is that Ueki Kousuke is an idiot.

As Cliché As It Sounds, He Is The Idiot Hero

"If you keep fighting to the end, I'll let your friends go. But if you surrender, I'll spare you and kill the others!" Robert Haydn said with sadistic laugh. "Now that your life is balanced against the others, what will you do?"
Sano gritted his teeth and shouted at the then-hideous blond, "You creep! You rotten scum!" How could he did that? The answer was obvious, right?
But what Ueki said was shocking, "What a dumb question." We all gawked at him in surprise, really surprised at his blunt asking for death. "My friends' lives are more important than mine. Who'd surrender, idiot?"
All I could do was watch him fight to death.
"Although he lived until now, kinda makes me wonder," Ai sighed in defeat, looking at the sky changing their fluffy clouds into different shapes.
"Huh? What did you say?" An unavoidable familiar voice interrupted her running train of thoughts. The spectacled girl only gave him a half-lidded stare in response, which he lifted an eyebrow as a seemingly suitable reply.
Yep, they were walking together from school. It's been two years since that had happened but she still remember it clearly. She still remember how her best friend and probably-maybe-possible-potential significant other pushed through his limits for their lives. For her life.
But not for his own.
"What?"The guy asked way too innocently. He was too good for his own good.
A vein popped on the girl's head and without minding much of it as if it was their thing, "Stupid!" She smacked his head really hard.
"Ouch!" Ueki exclaimed while rubbing his hurting, coming-to-be-a-swollen-bump head. "What was that for, Mori!?"
"For being stupid!"
"Wha-? But I didn't do an-,"
"Shut up!"
"AAARGH!" He was going to get a hell lot of abscesses later.

Should I end it here? Just kidding, here's an omake ;)

A few minutes later, Ueki was on the ground, half dead. He thought about what star was he born under to deserve this fate. Until Ai came into his sight grumping and stomping her shoes to the ground with two cream buns in hand. The girl crouched in front of him and sniffed annoyedly, if that's even a word. "Come on, let's treat your wounds."
Ueki didn't reply.
She rolled her eyes, "Sorry not sorry for hitting you, you deserved it. Get up already I have some cream buns."
Still no any presence of a deep voice.
"Ueki?"
Finally, silence answered her. It was eating Ai's nerves and she wisely decided to step on his back when she realized that he was, in fact, sleeping.
He was sleeping in the middle of the road.
What if a car run over him!? So the girl could only manage a tired sigh, drag him slowly to a nearby tree, and waited for him to wake up whilst eating one of the cream buns she bought. Suddenly, she remembered what happened after that.
As a heavy stone wall fell over the two heavenly beings, Ai watched in horror, wishing so deep that Ueki would win. He had to win, or else they're all dead. But the reason wasn't just that, she wanted him to win not for their safety solely. She wanted him to win, to survive this stupid game, to live. She stuttered his name, "U-Ueki?" But what replied was an absolute horrifying view; Ueki under the rubble shoving Robert off its way. It was too surreal. Too unbelievable. She was too shocked to even breathe until the blond celestial's voice broke the suffocating silence.
"Why? Why did you save me? You could've died too…" He evidently tried hard to control his shaking hands, either it was from the thought of himself dying or someone, his enemy, saved his life, or because he was too mad and insane to even realize the matter.
Ueki, being the nice kind-hearted enemy he was, responded, "Huh? Oh yeah, you're right." Robert stared at him wide-eyed his eyes nearly popped out of their socks. "I guess I wasn't thinking."
Secretly, Ai smiled in sadness. He would sacrifice his life for anyone, even the one who desires to kill him, without second thoughts. How am I going to be beside him if… I don't want to lose a person like this. Not him, she admitted to herself.
Now the questioned guy was beside her, quietly, she took a picture of the both of them; Ueki's innocent sleeping face, and her cream-garnished big grin.

Its so random, isn't it? Also… CAN ANYONE PLEASE SHOW ME A LINK WHERE I CAN READ A PART WHERE UEKI CONFESSED TO MORI AT THE END OF THE LAW OF UEKI PLUS? OR TAKING A PICTURE FROM ANYONE WHO HAS THE MANGA IS OKAY! PLEASE!
*Clears throat* Well, what do you think?
