Distrubance

Akihiko woke up and saw that his bed was empty. 'Don't tell me she's!' he thought and ran out of the room. Only to be welcomed by a sweet smell waffling down the hallway. He ran towards the kitchen and saw Minako in an apron making pancakes.

Minako turned around "Oh! Good morning Akihiko-senpai."

Akihiko smiled back. "You scared me." He gave a sigh of relief. For a second he thought that it was only a dream. "I thought you were gone again."

"I'm sorry, I thought I would make pancakes for you, just like old times. But then again, do you still like pancakes? I forgot to ask you yesterday."

"Yeah I do. They smell really good."

"I'm glad." Minako finished the pancakes and set each of them some pancakes on the plates. She brought the plates on the table. She already put cups, silverware, napkins, syrup, butter and jam on the table. Minako put maple syrup on her pancakes and toke a huge bite out of it. "So yummy. I haven't felt hungry in years and now I'm eating food to satisfy my hungry. Ahh, the simple pleasures of food." Minako was basically inhaling the food.

"Hey, slow down, you'll…" then he heard Minako coughing. "…choke. Too late." Akihiko started patting on Minako's back. He poured milk in her cup and gave it to her. Minako drank half of the cups worth of milk.

"Phew. That was close. Hmm, I think I should ask Shinjiro-senpai lessons for cooking; he is a lot better than I am. I'd like to go, what Junpei calls, a delicious dimension, again." Minako wiped her mouth with a napkin.

"Believe or not, Shinji taught me how to cook. He keeps on complaining and nagging me about my health food choices. He forced me to learn how to cook. Out of everything I learned, my specialty is fried rice. "

"That sounds really yummy."

"I'll make you some today. Get ready for a fried rice delicious dimension." Akihiko laughed a bit.

"I can't wait then." Minako and Akihiko finished their plate. Minako looked slight down towards the ground and started twiddling her fingers. "It's strange, yesterday we were so quiet. I didn't know what to say, but I felt comfortable. Now, today, we acted as if nothing has changed and went back to our old selves. Everyone has changed over these years I'm sure. Different interests, jobs, personality, maturity, dating, school, and even the city has changed. So many things have changed. But one thing hasn't changed; everyone still remembers and connects with each other. That's the thing that I hope will never change ever for the rest of our lives." Minako put her hand on her heart. Akihiko put his hand on her head.

"It's because we do remember that we still want to be together. Of course we can't see each other every day like we did at the dorm. But we still hang out and talk to each other… Minako, my feelings-…" Akihiko was cut off by the doorbell.

"It must be Aigis." Minako turned her head towards the door. "It's still morning, she must have anxi-…" now Minako was cut off by the phone.

"It's Mitsuru." Akihiko picked up the phone while Minako went to the door. "Hello, Akihiko speaking."

"Hello? Akihiko? I can't find Aigis anywhere. I think she went to your place." While Mitsuru was talking, Minako opened the door and Aigis hugged Minako. Akihiko confirmed it really was Aigis that came over today. And told Mitsuru.

"I have missed you so much." Aigis continued to hug Minako.

"I've missed you too but we just saw each other yesterday… ummm could you let go? That way I could close the door."

"My apologies." Aigis let go of Minako and Minako closed the door. They both headed towards the couch and sat down.

Akihiko hung up the phone and sat down next to Minako. "Mitsuru sounded really mad on the phone Aigis. She'll come over right now. I just hope that I won't face an execution." Akihiko sighed.

"Yes, last time when you have received severe punishment, was at the Kyoto trip. It was very interesting to see a human ice sculpture in the middle of the hot springs." Aigis commented.

"Don't remind me." Akihiko shuddered at the memory of what happened.

"Oh yeah… I can't believe you stayed at the hot springs when it was the girl's turn." Minako looked darkly at Akihiko.

"You of all people have to believe me! I was the victim, who was forced to commit a crime against my will. Junpei and Ryoji were the offended!" Akihiko started panicking.

Minako started giggling at Akihiko's frantic explanations. Mitsuru came by later and started lecturing Aigis. Mitsuru stayed until early afternoon, until she had another appointment to attend too. She toke Aigis with her even though Aigis asked constantly to extend the time. Akihiko and Minako watched them go off back in the limo.

"Mitsuru-senpai still seems busy as ever. Aigis still haven't changed much, except she is a lot more human now. Aki, what does Aigis do?" Minako took the dishes from breakfast and put the sink. She rolled up her sleeves and started washing the dishes.

"Aigis works for the Mitsuru's company. She's does small jobs around the company like ordering certain meals for certain parties. Somewhat like a secretary… Hey, let me do the dishes." Akihiko started rolling up his sleeves and took off his gloves.

"That job seems very Aigis like. What about everyone else? And no way, I made the food so I should do the dishes. My mess, my clean-up." Minako ignored Akihiko's jesters to help out in the kitchen.

"Shinji cooks, Junpei's with Chidori, Fuuka works with some sort of technology, Ken is in high school, Koromaru stays with Ken at the dorm, and I'm not sure what Yukari does. I didn't ask her when she got out of college… You made the food, so to make it even, I should do the dishes."

"How could you not ask Yukari what she does? I guess I have to ask her sometime. And how things went with her mom. What do you do for a job? … And fine, you can dry and put away the dishes." Minako gave up after Akihiko's constant pestering of trying to help her.

"It just didn't cross my mind when I'm with Yukari. I work for the police force." Akihiko grabbed the dish that Minako handed out.

"Police force? Really? That's amazing." Minako looked at Akihiko in awe.

"Unfortunately they aren't flexible on hours. I have to tell them weeks ahead of time to get a certain day off. Today is my day off but I have to work tomorrow. I'll try to get off of work but I doubt it will happen."

"It's okay. You have to work, right? Besides I want to explore what's different now in the city." Minako smiled and started cleaning the sink.

"I don't want to leave you alone. I'm worried." Akihiko grabbed the last dish and started drying it. "Tomorrow I have to leave in the morning to work. I'll try to get off work early tomorrow then I can give you a tour around the city. It will be a date." Akihiko put all the dishes back to where they belong and wore his gloves back on.

"Didn't you say that they are really strict on hours?"

"I'm in good terms."

"I'm sure everyone knows that you were the boxing champion back in high school. After all you were pretty famous in high school" Minako made fists in front of her body and started punching in the air.

"You make it sound like I'm going to threaten them." Akihiko felt like there was a sweatdrop over his head.

"Oh, so you don't deny that everyone there knows that you were a boxing champion. I guess you can threaten everyone there without lifting a finger." Minako started laughing.

"Oh you!" Akihiko started grabbing Minako. He lifted her up in the air. Minako gave out a small shriek before she started laughing. Akihiko joined laughing with her and hugged her. "You really-" the phone started cutting of Akihiko. "The phone again?" Akihiko let go of Minako and looked at the caller id on the phone. It was Shinjiro "Hello? Shinji?"

"Hey, Aki. You free next month night? I was planning on making a dinner party with everyone next month I wanted to do it at an earlier time but that damn Mitsuru's schedule keeps on making it hard to organize."

"Yeah, it's fine. You're rather talkative today. You must be really excited."

"Shuddup idiot. At least I didn't burn the soup when I first started cooking. I thought Fuuka was bad, but you're seriously a piece of work."

"What was that?" Akihiko turned a bit red from agitation.

"Don't tell her about it. It's a surprise. Talk to you later." Shinjiro hung up the phone.

"Still close as ever with Shinjiro-senpai, I see. Or in this case, hear." Minako was swinging her legs as she sat.

"Ah, yeah. We are."

"What were you talking about?"

"He's telling me not to burn the soup for you."

"Huh? How can you burn soup? It's liquid."

"Trust me, you don't even want to know."

Minako started pestering Akihiko on how you can burn soup. Akihiko refused to tell her, knowing that she might want to try and experiment on it one day. When it was close to dinner time, Akihiko started making dinner while Minako sat on a stool watching Akihiko. When the fried rice was done, Minako complemented and enjoyed every last bite. Minako was about to start a conversation until the phone rang again.

"I swear, it must be 'disturb Akihiko-senpai and Minako's conversation day.'" Minako pouted slightly.

"I normally don't get this many disturbances in one day." Akihiko looked at his cell phone. "Oh it's Junpei."

"Aren't you going to pick it up?" Minako tilted her head. "You know, he'll keep on calling your cell phone until you pick up."

"I'll just turn off my phone then. He doesn't know my house number. This is payback for what happened at Kyoto." Akihiko turned off his phone

"You're seriously holding a grudge about that till this day? You're so cute and silly." Minako started giggling.

"H-Hey don't tease me!" Akihiko turned red.

"I'll stop teasing you for now if you kiss me." Minako joked a bit.

"'For now?' I'm not sure if I like the sound of that. But I'll gladly take you up on that offer for the kiss." Akihiko started getting closer to Minako, as she started blushing uncontrollably.

-Meanwhile-

"Arggghhh! Dang it! I don't have Akihiko-san's house number! I just want to hang out with my best bud but I can't contact them. Did his phone die? But he didn't pick up the first time. Don't tell me he's doing this on purpose!" Junpei was shouting out loud in the middle of the streets.

"What's wrong Junpei?" Chidori asked him.

"I bet Akihiko-san wants them to go 'coo coo, kiss kiss.' They are so frustrating sometimes." Junpei glared at his phone.

Chidori just stared at Junpei and started walking away very, very quickly. "I don't know him."

"Gah! Chidorita! Wait up!"

"Don't call me that!"


Author Note: Thank you for waiting for the second chapter. I've been busy with classes and I hope you understand... As much as I like Akihiko, I honestly do not like pancakes. I find pancakes too buttery for my taste. I enjoy waffles more.
