Author's note: thank you all for favs and follows. Special thanks to iiAnimeLover for being the first one to write a review (hopefully not the last one). I'm glad you liked it and found it funny haha well Fukui and Akiyama know each other from school (they are classroom neighbours) but they are not very close or anything (for now, that is)

Second time she calls him Fukui-kun

Takara was completely exhausted after yet another schoolday and everything got even worse as she remembered she was supposed to wait for Atsushi after finishing her shift in the Akita Sweets coffee shop nearby.

After saying goodbye to her boss she walked back to the school yard and sat down on a bench near the gym. The air was filled with voices from the inside and she had to fight the urge to march in and scold Atsushi. Her so called Atsushi complex only seemed to get worse as time passed. It was hard for her to even explain it, the only thing she knew was that since she wasn't able to properly take care of her little brother because he didn't like her, she started to take care of the giant instead. That was what got her in many troubles and some even got her injured. She was like an overprotective mother and it needed to stop. Maybe that was why she almost started crying when he announced which school he chose. No matter how hard she fought to run away from the dark times of her complex, she just couldn't. Takara sighed and continued playing with her skirt, she really wasn't cut out for waiting. At first everything would be fine but after five minutes she wuld look like she was ready to explode, no, waiting was not her thing. She heard Atsushi saying oops because of something he did and smiled, but that smile only sent a shiver down her spine, she was doing it again. Her mom told her she entered her protective and responsible mother mode everytime someone reminded her of Kazuo, but she just scoffed at that, maybe Akiyama Misaki was right and she really did that. Atsushi did sound a lot like Kazuo when saying oops. She knew too well how that sounded coming from both her brother and Murasakibara. They said that to her quite often it seemed.

„Taka-chin?" she turned her head to see Atsushi holding a bottle of water in his hand.

„Are we ready to go Atsu?" Takara asked her friend softly, lost in thought.

„Coach wants to meet you." That was enough to snap her from her daydreaming.

„And why is that?" Her question came out too late and she was already on her feet walking towards the entrance with Atsushi in front. The giant really couldn't be bothered by her nonsense after a hard practice he just finished.

„Line up!" Araki Masako yelled at the basketball players holding a shinai in her hand. „Murasakibara you too."

Atsushi looked at his coach but decided to stay with Takara. He knew how awkward she got in situations like this, and seeing her fidget and laugh nervously was something he didn't want to miss. Besides, he could tell she was starting her sister mode by the way she looked at him when he went out to get her and that was a wake up call for him. He needed to keep her in check before her mother/sister instincts kicked in thanks to her Atsushi, more like Kazuo doesn't like me that stupid brat and I'm his only sister, complex.

„Murasakibara!" Okamura yelled at the prodigy, but he only shrugged and didn't move.

„Seeing Murasakibara with a girl. I feel disturbed, the world is probably going to end soon."

„Fukui shut up!" Okamura snapped at his vice captain but the shorter boy only nodded.

„You are sad he got a girl before you, are you not?"

„Keep it down you two!" Araki tried to calm her voice but she felt irritated, those two never seemed to stop they're constant nagging and making fun of each other.

„You see captain, if you are to keep it down, then there are no worries since you don't have a girlfriend."

„Fukui-senpai there's a girl in the room." Himuro pointed out trying to keep at least some of the Yosen high school basketball club modesty.

„Oh shit, right. Sorry." He said smiling mischievously.

„Anyway, Atsu said you wanted to meet me." Takara decided it would be the best if she just spoke to the coach and be done with it.

„Yes, I heard there was a girl that could tame Yosen's giant so I wanted to meet her. I asume it's you." Araki said in her clear strong voice.

„I guess. What can I do to help?"

„Since you are Atsushi's girlfriend it would be nice if you helped Himuro out because he's always in charge of Murasakibara."

„It's not a problem coach, I already said that. We are friends, of course we are always together." Himuro tried to calm things when he saw Murasakibara's reaction. Takara facepalmed.

„I'm not Atsu's girlfriend." And here she thought Atsushi was the weird one of the club.

„Told you so!" Okamura yelled happily. „I win, you lose." He bragged while putting the money Fukui gave him in the pocket.

„I lost a bet because of you." Fukui said with a sad face though anyone could tell he was being sarcastic.

It was Murasakibara's turn to facepalm at his senpai. This kind of things always made Takara become a madwoman.

„How can you make a bet in front of Atsu?! You are older than him, don't do bad things in front of him!" Takara snapped at Okamura and Fukui, but as soon as she did that a hand flew up and pushed a chocolate cookie in her mouth. She turned bright red when she realized what she just did and how she snapped at her schoolmates. This was the kind of thing she dreaded so much.

„Taka-chin should calm down." Murasakibara said patting her head lightly.

Yosen's coach waved her head and sighed heavily. „We should all go home. Tomorrow will be a light practice boys." With that she turned and went out leaving them all completely pale.

„We are going to be killed."

„I hate her light practice."

„It is alright."

„We shalt not jump to conclusions anymore."

„Hmph."

Takara finaly felt fine enough to raise her head only to be met by utter despair in all of them. Araki Masako really was an awe inspiring woman. She cleared her throat and bowed in front of the boys.

„Fukui-kun, Okamura-kun, I'm sorry for snapping at you."

„They shalt not bet anymore Akiyama-sama." The exchange student Liu Wei assured her.

„Yeah, we won't." Okamura agreed.

„Atsu we should get going, Murasakibara mom-chan will get angry at us for staying out late."

„Okay."

„Bye." She waved and ran out of the gym not waiting for Murasakibara. Takara knew he will be walking behind her with Himuro in no time.

„So Murasakibara, do you think Okamura here has a chance to finally get a girlfriend?"

„No." Atsushi answered. „It's Taka-chin."
