*Author's Note: Hey guys/girls, this is going to be my very first fanfiction that I post so I would greatly appreciate reviews to help me improve in my writing. I'm a huge Nisekoi fan and I like a lot of the parings but in the end I still like the Onodera/Ichijou pairing the best so I'm going to start by writing one with them first. Anyway enough about hearing me talk (or reading), I hope you enjoy! XD

Chapter 1 – Sweet Shop

"Kosaki, wake up!" yelled Onodera's mom from downstairs.

"Wait mom just 5 more minutes," said the sleepy chestnut haired girl "it's the weekend what is she being so loud for."

"Ichijou is here!"

"Oh nice Ichijou is here…," suddenly realizing what her mom just said Onodera jumps out of bed "EHHHH ICHIJOU IS HERE?"

'What do I do? What do I do? I haven't even showered yet and my hair is a mess. Why didn't mom or Haru tell me about this?' thought Onodera.

Onodera quickly brushed her teeth and fixed her hair and ran down as fast as she could to meet the man that was waiting patiently at the entrance of the sweet shop.

"I-ichijou I didn't know you were coming over today...," said Onodera, her cheeks were already red, she wasn't used to seeing the guy she loved this early in the morning and her heart was definitively not prepared.

"U-um O-o-onodera you're still wearing your…," said Ichijou turning super red, he tried to look away but couldn't.

"Ah Kosaki I didn't know you guys were that close already, but that's quite a bold move," said Onodera's mom.

"Huh," said a confused Onodera but quickly realizing that she was only wearing her panties and an almost see-through T-shirt with NO BRA ON.

"GAAAAHHHH!" yelled Onodera as she ran at lighting speed up the stairs.

"SENPAI YOU PERVERT DON'T LOOK!" said Haru, punching Ichijou.

"HOW WAS THAT MY FAULT?!"

The two stopped fighting as they heard Onodera coming back down all dressed; when she got down she had an empty look in her eyes and looked extremely depressed.

"O-onodera are you okay?" asked Ichijou.

"Huh, why of course Ichijou-kun why wouldn't I be?" said Onodera laughing nervously.

'Is she pretending that never happened…?' thought Ichijou.

"Ah I see that's good," said Ichijou also laughing nervously.

'Oh no now it's going to be super awkward for the rest of the day…,' thought Onodera.

"Alright you two are watching the shop for today I have a … thing I need to do," said Onodera's mom as she rushed out "have fun!"

"Wait mom…,"

"Onee-chan I got to go to my friend's house today soooooo yeah," said Haru as she rushed out as well "Senpai don't do anything perverted to Onee-chan while I'm gone."

Ichijou and Onodera were left in the shop dumbfounded once again in a situation where both of them are alone together, although most of the time it is awkward and silent the two were still happy to have these moments together.

"S-so we better get started," said Ichijou blushing and looking away realizing it's just the two of them alone once again.

"Y-yeah," said Onodera doing the same.

The day was filled with making sweets and decorating them, the awkwardness from the morning was gone and both of them were having a good time. The day passed by quickly and the time came for the shop to be closed.

"Why are they still not back?" wondered Onodera.

Behind her Ichijou just finished making his new recipe of the batter for the sweets and tasted it.

"Wow this taste pretty good," said Ichijou putting his current spoon down and handing the chestnut haired girl a clean spoon "Onodera want to try some?"

"Yes please," said Onodera turning around reaching for the spoon but accidently touched Ichijou's hand which caused her heart to skip a beat and made her grab the spoon that was on the counter in panic and took a big scoop of the batter and shoved it in her mouse.

"Wow this taste really good, but there's this odd flavor in here" said Onodera, she looked at Ichijou who had a surprised look on his face and was blushing "not that it taste bad…it's just something I've never tasted before." The girl paused and allowed the spoon to sit in her mouth for a few more seconds to figure out what this new taste was.

"O-onodera…,"

"Yes?"

"T-that was my spoon…,"

'A-a-an indirect kiss!' thought Onodera, turning completely red with steam puffing out of her head. Onodera slowly walked upstairs without saying a word still with the spoon in her mouth, leaving Ichijou alone and confused in the kitchen.

'Was it really that bad?' thought Ichijou 'I should probably go check on her and apologize.'

Upstairs in her room Onodera stared at spoon and couldn't keep the thought of the indirect kiss out of her head.

"I-it was just an accident, plus we just s-shared a spoon… it's not as if we really k-k…," said Onodera blushing even more thinking about the indirect kiss. Her imagination was running wild after remembering what the odd taste was like; her fantasies started playing in her head where Ichijou French kissed her in the kitchen after tasting the batter.

"Onodera stop it, stop imagining Ichijou-kun French kissing you!" yelled Onodera without realizing that she was saying out loud what she was thinking just as Ichijou walked into the room.

"HUH?!"

"GAAH ICHIJOU IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK!"

'Oh why God, why are you doing this to me? Was Ruri made God for a day? Is this why this is happening to me?' thought Onodera.

'Did I hear her right? Did she say French kiss?' thought Ichijou, his eyes were spinning from the amount of blood that rushed into his head after hearing what Onodera just said and he lost his balance and fell right on top of Onodera with his hands right beside Onodera's face being the only support for his body.

"I-ICHIJOU-KUN?" said Onodera now with a crimson face and feeling like one of her fantasies was playing in real life.

"Hey guys I'm ba…," said Onodera's mom as she walked in, there was a moment of silence and she quickly got out.

"WAIT IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK!" yelled Ichijou embarrassed.

"Sorry for interrupting," said Onodera's mom popping back in and quickly closing the light and shutting the door.

"IS THAT REALLY WHAT A MOTHER SHOULD BE DOING?!" yelled Ichijou again.

Ichijou looked down at Onodera who had an arm over her eyes trying to cover up her embarrassment.

"I'm really sorry, I'm sure I just misheard you and I'll go clear things up with your mom right now," said Ichijou making the motion to get up but was stopped by Onodera's other hand.

"If you get up now I'll probably die of embarrassment…so lets just stay like this for a bit," said Onodera.

"Alright," said Ichijou, his cheeks were burning and he was happy that the room was dark or else Onodera would have seen how embarrassed he was. There was a really long, awkward silence but it let both of them calm down a little, Ichijou looked down again and saw how beautiful Onodera looked as she covered up her eyes with her arm and grabbed on tightly to his shirt.

"Are you okay now?" asked Ichijou.

"Yeah," said Onodera removing her arm from her eyes and finally opening them to see Ichijou who was right on top of her and quickly closing them again. She couldn't look at him, she was too embarrassed, the way he was right on top of her and the things that slipped out of her mouth. Yet she still held onto his shirt, not wanting this moment to end.

"Uh if you don't mind me asking, what did you say?" asked Ichijou "I mean there's no way what I heard was right."

'I should just make up something to clear this, I'm sure he would believe anything I say, plus I'm not ready to confess yet,' thought Onodera.

"Oh about that…,"

'But if I don't tell him about my feelings now, will I ever be ready? And when I'm ready will it be too…,'

"You heard right…,"

"What? No, no, you don't understand I heard you say that you were imagining me F-French kissing you," said a surprised Ichijou; his heart was beating faster now.

'Is this real life? I'm not dreaming right? This has to be a dream,' thought Ichijou.

"No that's exactly what I said, and I also want to say that…," said Onodera looking straight into the eyes of Ichijou, taking a deep breath "I also want to say that I love you and I would like to be your girlfriend."

'I did it…' thought Onodera closing her eyes again, her heart was beating faster than she has ever imagined. The room was dead silent and it was as if the only thing that could be heard were her heartbeats. Tears rolled down Onodera's cheeks as the silence continued on.

'I guess he doesn't feel the same w…,' buther thoughts were interrupted by the feeling of Ichijou's lips on hers and she felt her mouth being pried opened slowly and once again that day she tasted that same odd taste.
