Sup my guys. Got the second one. We're going to be following our blue haired genius today. Enjoy, it's a long one.
"I failed!?"
The two cobalt haired students known as Ryusei Koki and Mei Mio both said at the shocking results of the final they have taken. Both were in diffrent classrooms at the time but had the same reaction to this shocking news. Failure in academics was new territory for both of them. They refused to believe that they failed the final.
"This has to be some kind of mistake!"
"I assure that my answers and explanations were on par with the standards!"
"I've checked every promblem more than once with each method!"
"I've eliminated all the wrong choices to find the correct one and succeeded every time!"
"How did I fail this final!"
Their counselor basically summarized their failure to both of them. This left the two students speechless.
"You have shown an exemplar understanding of every single academic subject, however you failed to show any understanding in social settings. I don't know much about your personal life but from the answers you provided, it's clear you lack that understanding which led to it bringing down your final score a significant amount. This does not stop you from passing with a very high grade average but you are welcome to a retry of the section. I will give you one week to prepare. I expect you to use this time wisely."
After hearing that, the two student quickly retreated to their groups at lunch time to not only share the news of their failure but to formulate a plan on how to pass this section they have little to no understanding in.
At the fountain
"Hey Ryusei!, I thought you weren't gonna show up! So how are you!?" Hayato quickly exclaimed as he shook the hand of his friend.
"Always the optimist Hayato. I'm doing fine by the way." Ryusei said as Hayato let go of his hand.
"So h-how was t-the final? Knowing you, you pro-probably passed." Sota added as he was still digging in to his lunch.
"Of course four eyes passed! I don't even know why you would ask a stupid question like that bowl head!" Haruto taunted as he ruffled the hair of a distressed Sota.
"What troubles you Ryusei? You have the look of deafeat on you. Did something happen to you today." Riku was able to pinpoint the promblem with Ryusei completely taken aback.
"Well, all of you assumed incorrectly. I failed the final."

"Mei Mio failing a final!?! That doesn't sound right at all!!" Koharu said after hearing Mei's news.
"Are you sure you got the right test back? It's hard to believe our egghead bombed an important test. You sure you and that idiot Haruto didn't switch papers." Yui said also in disbelief.
"Aren't you dating him though, Yui? I thought you would've mellowed out but you still keep the same intensity." Saki pointed out which brought out a shade of red on Yui's face.
"Shut up!" She replied which got a giggle out of Kokona. Yuna simply smiled which got Yui's attention.
"Oh and what's so funny Yuna?" Yui asked which got Yuna's attention.
"Well...I think Mei only failed one section...she's too smart too fail the final completely. I still...find it hard to believe." After Yuna's assumption, Mei continued her tale of misfortune.
"Yes, even I am in disbelief of my current situation but this is all real. And the reason I failed is what bothers me the most." She stated which got the attention of all the girls.
"The reason I failed is because of the social section."
X
"You failed the easiest section in the whole final!?" Sora exclaimed followed by the laughing boys. Ryusei pinched the bridge of his nose.
"I had a feeling that all of you would find that amusing."
"How did you fail such an easy section!?! Even I passed that section!" Hayato asked. Ryusei answered his question with ease.
"It maybe because of my social background. My upbringing consisted of studying and learning academics being the top priority. I was so enthralled with my studies that I didn't have the time for social interactions." He concluded.
"It makes sense! When I met you, you had no idea how to engage in conversation! You were like a lost kitten but you have gotten better at least!" Hayato pointed out. The rest of the boys agreed that Ryusei was completely clueless to social cues.
"Well, there's no reason to freak out over it. You have one of the highest grades in class so this final shouldn't affect you too much." Riku said as he attempted to comfort his blue haired friend.
"No. I refuse to let a simple section best me. The counselor has offered me a retry and I intend to take full advantage of it. I will begin to formulate a plan and will have to take most of my attention away from this group until this issue is resolved. I hope you guys will understand."
X
"Your not serious? Your just gonna take a break from us because of some grade?! I thought I was bad." Yui was furious.
"It will only be temporary until I pass the section. I know that this may be a bit extreme but I need to do this so I hope you all will understand. Besides I'll still be here but my attention will be towards the retry. I will give you all my full attention in a week when I pass." Mei said as she began to leave. She didn't even turn back. The other girls were completely astonished.
"Guys...I miss Mei already." Yuna said to which all the others nodded in agreement. The girls wished for the best to come to their intellectual friend.
"Sooo, who did their homework cause I sure didn't!" Koharu asked. The group of girls facepalmed.
This was going to be a long week.
In the hallway
"I need to find a good method of studying for this section."
"I need to change my approach towards this section."
The two students were in deep thought of how to study for the section in the final. Their traditional methods failed them so doing the exact same thing will warrant the same result. Their heads were buzzing with ideas bring scratched out or deemed useless. They were so wrapped up that they forgot to look where they were going.
BUMP
The collision knocked both of them to the floor, causing their glasses to fall off. They both scoured the floor for their glasses until both of them have found a pair.
"Ha! I've found you." Ryusei said as he put on the glasses he found to only have his sight worsen. He quickly came to the conclusion that these were not his glasses.
He suddenly felt a hand on his arm.
"Excuse me, but I believe you are in possession of my spectacles." That voice he has heard many time before. The stoic tone was hard not to recognize.
"Oh, I'm dreadfully sorry Mio. I should have been more observant of the path I was walking." He apologized as they exchanged glasses. Now with his normal eyesight he gazed at the figure of Mei Mio coming into focus. He always had a little bit of a soft spot for her but tried not to let it disrupt his studies. He had to remain focus if he wanted to be successful.
"No, I should be the one at fault here. I was walking in deep thought because of a situation that plagues me right now. You had nonthing to do with this Koki." She replied as her vision on Ryusei became clear. She had to admit that he was very handsome in a formal way and the way his glasses suit his icy blue eyes always stuck out in her mind. Buy she couldn't let that stop her from obtaining more knowledge. Her success was of the most importance.
"What a coincidence. I too have found myself in a dire situation that is also running through my mind. If you don't mind me asking, what troubles you? I could be of assistance if you want." Ryusei asked.
Mei couldn't argue against that. She knew Ryusei was easily the smartest student in school. Maybe he could help her with the section.
"Well, my promblem correlates with the final." That's all the words he needed to hear. He quickly pieced everything together.
"So you failed the final as well? I thought you passed with flying colors considering how intelligent you are." He said which caught her by surprise. The compliment at the end made her blush a bit.
"Unfortunately yes, and what do you mean by 'as well'? You also happened to fail the final? She asked which Ryusei nodded too.
"Indeed, I've passed every other section with ease."
"Likewise, but there was one section that I completely failed."
"My circumstances are also similar. The only section I failed was-"
"Social intelligence."
They both were stunned to hear each other's answer. To think that they both failed the same section was completely new to them. Then that's when it hit both of them. The solution to their problem was right in front of them this whole time. They both had an analytical expression on their face.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Since we both had difficulties in the same section, we should join our efforts together and form-"
"A study duo."
They both were proud of their quick thinking with this promblem that was presented to them. They were also excited considering this is the first time they had a study partner. They usually studied by themselves because of its effectiveness.
"Good thinking Mei, your mind always comes up with some brilliant plans." He complimented which got a little shade of pink on her cheeks.
"It was your idea Ryusei. Your critical thinking in situation is superb. Even when compared to mines." She returned the favor that also caused him to blush a bit. They both began to get a feeling they were familiar with but quickly put it down. They quickly made plans to have a study session.
"Well, when will have this study session? I'm unavailable today because of-"
"STEM club? Yeah I'm also a member in that club. Tomorrow is not good for me because of-"
"Math club? I saw you were going to a tournament on that day. I will also be attending as well."
They thought to themselves what would be a good day for the session. Each day they were preoccupied with something except on...
"Thursday?"
They both said at the same time. They were thrilled to know that the session will go on.
"Although, I highly doubt one day of study is not enough to fulfill an adequate amount of study."
"Then why don't we use our free time to study a bit together?"
"Marvelous, I am looking forward too it."
"I share the same enthusiasm. See you soon."
As the two student parted ways, they thought of ways of how to improve the session that will take place on Thursday. After all, they've never did this before. The two student were looking forward to this new experience.
Tuesday
The two students decided to have small study sessions during their free time at school. They decide that the study session on Thursday will be a mock final for the section. Both of them were making a lot of progress towards learning the final and each other.
"I still don't comprehend this question." Ryusei said while taking a bite of his sandwich. Mei decided to come to his aid.
"And what would that be Koki?" She asked.
"I'm trying to figure out which act would be appropriate for this scenario,' A student has forgotten their lunch. What will you do?' I'm completely stumped. I would say give him some money but not everyone is wealthy. And giving up your lunch is no good because your position will be reversed and the promblem is still present." Ryusei continues to go through every possible action until he was interrupted by a growling stomach. He didn't look far to see who the culprit was.
"Oh my apologies about that. I was so caught up in studying I forgot my lunch. It's fine, I will eat when I return home. Now back to your problem." She said as she went back to thinking. She then found that there was half a sandwich in front of her.
"It's extremely difficult to focus on an empty stomach. I need my partner to be in peak condition." Mei took the half and began to chow down.
"This sandwich is excellent! You didn't happen to make this yourself I assume?"
"On the contrary, I did. Thank you for the compliment and the answer to the question." He said as he jotted down some notes. Mei couldn't help but stare at him. His kind and gentle demeanor were just so attractive.
"And thank you for the wonderful food." They both could get used to this type of relationship.
During free time"I miss Ryusei!" Cried Hayato. "I'll never be able to get my homework grade up again!"
"Oh calm down I'm present." Ryusei said as he was walking towards thegroup. Hayato quickly embraced his friend.
"Ryusei! What brings you back here!? I thought you had to study for that section!?"
"Yes and that is still my top priority, but you guys are my friends so I have to check up on all of you. I also had the liberty of sending you all my notes and homework for this week." Everybody in the group gave Ryusei a weird look.
"Is something the matter?" He asked.
"You seem very warm today. Like your showing a lot more kindness than usual. Your also lacking that stoic personality you have." Sora explained along with agreement from the others. Ryusei was glad to hear this
"Excellent! So our studying has been effective. At this rate, the section should be a breeze." Ryusei joyously proclaimed.
"Our!?" Haruto caught his slip. "Who else have you been studying with? I know it hasn't been any of us!"
"So you have been hanging out with someone else!?! You traitor!" Hayato
accused.
"Guys there's no reason to attack him. He is probably doing this to make sure he passes so it would make sense for him to find a partner suitable for him" Sora came to his defense.
"Thank you Sora, and this is only a temporary partnership. The person who I am studying with also failed the exam so we both could improve."
"And who exactly is that?" Riku asked.
"Mei Mio my friends."
X
"I knew you had a thing for Koki! You both wear glasses so it must be destiny for you two!" Koharu said which brought out some dashes of pink on the blue haired girl.
"It's not like that in the slightest! It's strictly a professional relationship. We both failed the same section so it only made sense for us to study together." She defended herself.
"I find a hard time... believing that. Sorry Mei." Yuna added.
"Yeah, why didn't you seek us for help?" Saki asked.
Mei simply adjusted her glasses. She knew she was not going to get her point across.
"It's okay if you do though. He does seem like your type after all." Saki reassured.
"The two of you compliment each other very well." Kokona pointed out.
"Yeah, both of you are really really smart."
"Also the fact that I can call both of you eight eyes once I see you two together."
"That's highly unlikely. Besides..."
X
"...I'm certain she doesn't feel the same way so there is no use in attempting it. It's best if everything goes back to normal after this." Ryusei pointed out with a condescending tone.
"That's what we thought about Haruto and yui but look at them now! They both changed for the better." Hayato said.
"I hate that girl!" Haruto retorted.
"See! He would've said smalltits!"
Everyone just ignored the two and continued.
"Well atleast try to make an effort Ryusei. Didn't you learn about unexpectedly myvariables and such." Ryusei stayed silent. He has thought about him and Mei possibly being together but always shot it down. His resolve to keep it that way has began to crumble.
*Ring* *Ring*
The bell signaled the end of free time. The two blue haired students departed with a new resolve. They both had the idea of just being close friends and maybe that will help with the unknown feeling.Hopefully it will work out for the best.
At Night
Mei: Thanks for the notes Ryusei. Your explanations offer a clear view on the subject. They will be put to good use.
Ryusei: It was only the right thing to do since you assisted me in the mock questions. I surely would've been lost without your help.
Since they were going to be studying together, they decided to trade contact info to keep in touch and stay ahead in their studies. The conversations were mostly professional with nonthing branching outside of their studies.
Mei: Well, I suppose it's time for me to go to sleep. I will see you at our next study time in the morning I assume.
Ryusei was about to reply with a 'goodnight' text but then stopped himself. Did he really want it to end this way? The usual exchange of notes and pointers and then a farewell. He knew he shouldn't but his fingers replied for him.
Ryusei: Before you go, I would like to know the welfare of your friends. They seem like a very colorful bunch.
Mei: Hmm? Well I'll tell you if you exchange info about yours. Your friends also seem very interesting as well.
Ryusei: I agree with this deal. Ladies first as they say.
Mei: Very well. The morale of my friends have been low recently due to my absence. However, Koharu is still keeping their spirits high. I swear sometimes she has enough energy for all of us.
Ryusei: The same can also be said for my group. Hayato seems crestfallen by my temporary departure but he still always keeps a smile on his face. I'm very fortunate to have associates like these.
Mei: As am I. I also have seen that Yui has found herself a partner in Haruto. I am happy for the both of them.
Ryusei: Indeed. Haruto had been less of a pain as of late due to him finding his suitable partner. I just hope that Sota will be able to do the same.
Mei: The yellow haired boy correct? Yes he does come of as extremely introverted. He reminds me of our friend Yuna.
Ryusei: You mean the best cook in Akademi high? Her food is to die for.
Mei: LOL. Yes, her cooking skills are superb.
They texted each other back and forth for a few hours until they began to exhibit the symptoms of tiredness. This was a pleasant experience for both of them.
Ryusei: Well, I do believe that it's past my bed time so I will see you at our study time tomorrow Mei.
He froze when he realized his mistake. This was his first time using her first name. He replied as if they have known each other for years. He was about to apologize until he saw her reply.
Mei: Looking forward too it Ryusei :)
Mei put down her phone as she got ready for bed. She couldn't believe that she actually responded like that. But doing it felt right, as if they have known each other for a while.
They both were suprised at the turn of events. Their texting went into a casual chat they both enjoyed. The thought of this relationship lasting a little crossed their minds and it followed them all the way unity they fell asleep.
They both went to bed with a smile on their face.
Wednesday
The morning began with the two intellectuals going through their studies. After maintaining the habit of studying together, they became more proficient in learning faster and and also learned the the habits of each other. Their relationship was growing at a fast pace.
"You seem to be troubled by something Mei. What's the matter?" Ryusei said which caught Mei off guard.
"How were you able to draw that accurate conclusion?"
"I notice you start to pucker your lips when your confused by something. It's actually a little entertaining to watch." He said which got a flustered face from Mei.
"Fair point. I'm confused on this question on the topic of courting." She said which shocked Ryusei.
"C-Courting?!"
"Oh have you never courted anyone before?" She asked in a shocked tone. Ryusei regained his composure.
"No. I prioritized my studies over such things so I don't think I will be able to help you out on this one. What is the question anyway?"
"The question states, 'What is the answer to true love?' This question is just making my brain hurt. Is sounds so simple yet so complex."
"I agree. I doubt there is even a concrete answer to that. But there has to someway to figure this out."
They both sat in silence until a light bulb appeared figuratively over Ryusei. Usually how to figure out if you love someone, you spend time with them in a comfortable setting. He came up with this suggestion.
"Why don't you go on a date? I'm pretty sure the answer to your question will be solved if you proceed with this course of action."
"That's a well thought out idea but who do I ask? I've never really done any of this before. It might be really difficult for me to do this."
"Well it shouldn't be that hard. You are the most beautiful and very intelligent girl in this school. I guarantee that any guy would be thrilled to spend time with you." He encouraged. He also meant every single word of it. That feeling began to scratch at him again as he saw her reaction.
She blushed from his compliment. She knew exactly who to ask after hearing that. That statement was concrete proof that he would be the best candidate.
"Well if that's the case, would you like to go out with me tomorrow Ryusei Koki, I would appreciate it if you accompany me?"
Ryusei was thrown off balance. He was about to refuse and tell her to go for a better choice but that would be horrible for him to do as a partner and associate. Besides this is to help her with the question.
"Of course. I am looking forw-!"
He was quickly cut off by a tight embrace from Mei. He started to return the affection a few seconds late. They both separated after a few minute.
"Thank you for accepting my invitation. I have to part ways for now. I'm hoping to see you at free time?" Mei said joyously. She was starting to enjoy their time
Together.
"If that is what you desire than yes. I will see you then Mei."
Ryusei was about to leave until Mei turned him to his side and planted a kiss right on his cheek. Before he could even say anything she quickly dashed towards her next class.
Ryusei began to rub the planted kiss. She probably must be working more on social cues he thought. He packed his belongings and began to make his way towards his class.
Mei was a blushing mess as she ran off. She didn't know what was going through her head or what set the action off but she knew one thing.
She wouldn't change a second of it.
Lunchtime
"You've been spending a lot of time with Koki recently. Can't you two just admit to each other already and get together." Saki said which was responded with a sigh from Mei.
"As I have stated multiple times, our relationship is strictly professional and will cease after our retake. My attention will go back to all of you, especially Koharu. Your still struggling with your homework aren't you?" She directed towards Koharu.
"You know me so well!" Koharu said as she was about to embrace Mei until she stopped.
"Koharu what's wrong? You usually like hugging her." Kokona asked.
Koharu begin to sniff Mei. Mei recoiled in shock while slightly pushing her away.
"Atleast ask for permission before you do something unusual like that Koharu!" She exclaimed in annoyance.
"Couldn't help myself! But you smell like cologne, fancy cologne at that and there's only one student at this school that uses it!"
Mei gulped. She knew what was coming.
X
"Ryusei Koki!" Hayato said as he pointed at the blue haired boy.
"I'm standing right next to you Hayato. There is no need for yelling."
"Couldn't stop it! Now why is there a red smear on your cheek! Cause the only person I know that draws on themself is me! Who did this too you!?"
Ryusei was not in a good position. He didn't want to lie to his friends but he also didn't want to disclose what went on between him and Mei. The assumptions could be devastating.
"Oh this smear. Me and Mei were walking towards the study hall and while she was applying her lip stick, she bumped into me. A minor accident is all, nonthing to worry about." He hoped that was enough to satisfy their thirst of curiosity.
However Riku was not buying his excuse.
"Are you sure that's what happened? That smear looks more of like a kiss then anything else." He pointed out.
"Wait! So Ryusei was kissed by Mei?!? Our friend is growing up so fast!"
"Four eyes actually got some action!?"
"Uhhhhh!?"
"Wow, good on you Ryusei."
All the boys were shocked by this revelation. Ryusei had no other option but to come clean about what took place.
"Fine. She kissed me on the cheek but it does it even mean anything? We are still learning about social cues so she probably did it to practice. This is a strictly professional relationship with a common goal to pass the final...
X
"...And after said goal is achieved our relationship will revert back to its usual state. Besides, I thought you guys wanted me to come back with my full attention?" She asked with false confidence. Her friends decided to do something about that.
"Well, our homework misses you but we actually want you to be happy!" Koharu said. This got Mei's attention.
"Y-Yeah, from the sound of your speech its sounds like... you don't want your relationship to go back to the way it was." Yuna added.
"If you want to get hitched with blue smarty smart over there, we aren't going to stop you." Yui joined in.
"We want you to do whatever makes you happy." Kokona said with Saki nodding in agreement.
Mei was touched. She was very fortunate to have friends like these. This group of girls put her happiness in front of all theirs. Mei simply gave a genuine smile.
"You guys are wonderful. I couldn't ask for better friends."
They all got into a group hug which Mei happily accepted until the need for oxygen was increasing. After they separated, Koharu decided to prod Mei to tell her if there was anything else she might need assistance with.
"So is there anything else you might need help with? We are here to help after all!"
Mei thought that sharing her date with them wouldn't be such a bad idea. They did say they would be happy for her no matter what and some insight from social people could benefit her.
"I am planning on going out with him tomorrow."
The group of girls stared at her with mouths agape.
X
"You've been on one before right?" Sora asked. Ryusei shook his head.
"This will be our first time doing this but I only have some idea of what to do."
"Then we will help you! Your our friend so we got your back! How about we give you tips from our social viewpoint!? " Hayato exclaimed.
"I don't think that's a good idea. I doubt any of you have ever been on one and I am unable to help." Haruto said plainly.
"Is it because of our clashing personalities or your scared Yui will find out?" Ryusei teased towards Haruto who began to glare.
"Keep talking and I'll make you have two eyes." He threatened.
"Even if we lack experience, we still have our social outlooks that Ryusei lacks. Maybe if we can show some examples, he'll be able to sweep her off her feet as a broom to unwanted debris." Riku
dramatically stated. Ryusei tried to clear up the misconception again.
"I'm only going out with her so I can he-"
*Ring Ring*
The sound of the bell rang to signal the end of lunchtime. As Ryusei and Mei tried to tell their friends the date was meant to help them understand better, they quickly left to help their blue haired friends prepare for the date tomorrow.
Nighttime
Ryusei: I did find her lecture to be somewhat dull but Hayato never disappoints with amusing the class. His antics always brings a smile on my face.
Mei: Him and Koharu would make the ultimate team. Their optimism is extremely contagious. I can't be around them for too long however.
They both began to text each other as routine at night. The two really enjoyed talking about anything just as they did with academics. They conversations they had ranged to various topics. Mei decided to start the conversation of their date.
Mei: So what time would be opportune for you?
Ryusei: For the date I assume? How about after our study session. That may be a decent time and a reward for our hard work.
Mei: I don't think that will be a good time for me. How about before? My schedule seems fine from their.
Ryusei: Unfortunately I have some errands to attend to at that time.
They both were at a dead end. They tried their best to look for a compromise but to no avial. Then that's when it hit both of them. They both responded at the same time.
Ryusei and Mei: How about we turn our date into a study session?
They both were not new to the fact that they finish each other's thoughts or have the exact same answer. They enjoyed it knowing that someone could actually relate to them. The end result was also pretty amusing
Mei: Lol, great minds do think alike.
Ryusei: Can't argue with that. Your are extremely brilliant.
Mei: As are you. So see you tomorrow at six o'clock in the afternoon.
Ryusei: Of course. See you tomorrow Mei :)
Mei: You too Ryusei :D
Thursday
The school day went by with no complications. The two students were preparing for their activities together. Their friends offered a lot of advice to make the date more enjoyable but they only took the pieces that actually made sense. All they had to do was be themself and things will work out.
Ryusei walked towards her house with a longed sleeved shirt with the sleeve's rolled up. The pattern was plaid with the color scheme being blue and black along with some beige pants and brown loafers. He made sure to polish his glasses for this occasion.
As he was about to knock, the door opened to reveal Mei in a causal attire. She wore a blue skirt with white flowers as decoration. She wore a sleeveless white shirt with a beige sweater coat to cover up along with brown flats. She also polished her glasses.
"Aren't you punctual. I was just about to wait outside for you."
"I could say the same about you. It's almost as if you predicted when I would arrive."
The two looked each other over. This was their first time seeing each other in a casual setting. They both took the time to analyze each other. They both were enjoying the sight
Ryusei was astonished by her appearence. Her clothing had a light formal touch which complimented her beauty. The sleeveless shirt she was wearing under her sweater coat had a slight v-neck which showed some chest that added a bit of sex appeal to her attire.
Mei couldn't take her eyes of him. His clothing went extremely well with his good looks. The rolled up sleeves were a nice touch to show off his broad forearms and leaves the biceps to the imagination. His pants were tight in the right places she thought but quickly changed it.
"You look amazing Mei. Your dress really brings out your beauty."
"Such a charmer you are Ryusei. You look very handsome."
As they both exchanged compliments, Ryusei put out his arm which Mei accepted. They both decided to have a study and a date at the park.
At the park they studied and had fun at the same time. Every question they got right, there would be a reward of some kind. On their breaks they would walk around and discussed topics that interest both of them. They both enjoyed each other's company's much that they lost track of time.
Few hours later
The two students finally returned to Mei's house. Her parents were absent for work and will not return until Monday. Since it was nighttime, Mei wanted Ryusei to stay here for the night just in case. He concluded that this would be the best course of action. They decided to pass the time by discussing their study date.
"That date was incredible! I never really studied and had fun at the same time. "
"I feel the exact same way! After that study date, I am confident that we will pass the retry tomorrow."
"Indeed, and we both will go back to our usual routine."
The last statement made Mei froze a bit. The words that she dreaded for so long finally came from his mouth. Of course she knew that was the only reason for their time together was simply to pass a section but was that also a reason for them to stop this. Emotions began to flow through her mind and she began to feel conflicted but she kept it composed.
"Of course. Would you like some tea? I know you can't resist my recipe."
"Your correct but I must get ready for bed. The retry is tomorrow and I want to make sure I am full prepared for it."
Those were the final words. She didn't want everything to go back to normal and from the tone of his voice he must feel the same. She had to do something.
"Are you sure you don't need anything."
"Yes Mei, you've shown enough hospitality to me. I think it's best if I got to sleep and stop being a bother too you."
"Your not! Just stay for a cup of my tea. Just one more time please." She pleaded with her hands clasped.
Ryusei found it difficult to refuse.
"Well if it is going to be our final session together."
After the tea was prepared, they both sat on her bed to enjoy one last conversation. As it was ending, Mei decided to convince Ryusei that maybe this could work.
"Is that all this was for Ryusei?"
"What are you o-"
"You know what I'm talking about! Why are you trying to avoid it? You don't want everything to be the same again don't you? I've noticed your changed behavior these past few days. You can barely even look me in the face when you say it. Your trying to hide your eye twitch when you lie aren't you." She revealed.
Ryusei stayed silent. He knew he couldn't lie to her.
"If you want things to go back to normal, look me in the face and say it. If you succeed, I will leave you be."
He knew it. It was hard to pull anything over her. He might as well confess and leave it at that.
"Mei, you are absolutely right."
"I knew it."
"Even so things still have to return back to normal. I do feel that we have chemistry together but we can't let that stop us from achieving greater heights. I'm sorry Mei."
"What's wrong with achieving those heights together? Why are you choosing a decision that you don-"
"Because it's for the best. Your talents will take you to new heights and you don't need those distractions. I'm doing this because I care for you. Goodnight Mei, I enjoyed our time together.
She stayed silent. With nonthing more to say he was about to head to the guest room. She couldn't let him walk away without her proving her decision. Before he could walk out the door, he felt a hand on his arm pulling him back. Knowing who was responsible, he reaffirmed his position.
"I'm sorry Mei but my desc-!"
His words never came out as his lips were being preoccupied with her's. Mei deepened their kiss as she pressed herself closer and wrapped her arms around his neck. Ryusei was shocked at first but begin to reciprocate the passion. After a few minutes they separated. Ryusei broke the silence first.
"Why did you do that? I thought that you wouldn't let anything stop you from progressing."
" I did that because your the reason I progress. I wanted to prove something because it's the only way I can convince you. I know if I let you go I would regret it for the rest of my life. So answer this: Did you feel anything during that kiss and don't lie, I noticed you began to kiss back."
He was speechless. To say that he didn't feel anything would be unbelievable at least. To think that she really cares for him like this, she even knew he was kissing back. He was brought out of his thoughts when she closed the door.
"Wait Mei, What are you doing?"
His question was answered in the form of her kissing him. This time her tongue began to invade his mouth as her hands started to comb through his cobalt hair. They both collapsed on the bed with Mei in the top position. She began to unbutton her blue sweater coat leaving her in the sleeveless top.
"As I have previously stated, I want to prove something to you. So I will have to show some evidence correct?"
She reached for his plaid shirt and began to unbutton it revealing a white shirt.
"Mei...I'm not completely sure about this. Think about this. Us being together will surely hurt us in the future "
"Prove it. Prove that your not sure. Prove that us being together is a terrible idea. Prove that you do want things to go back to the way they were. I will cease my acts immediately if you prove it."
No matter how hard he tried, he was completely silent. He knew himself that he didn't want this to stop. He knew that his feelings for her were beyond friendly terms. But what he didn't know was how Mei was going to take his silence.
"No rebuttal? I take it that your are not against my advances and have yet to say anything against the matter. That's good because I have proof that I have immense care for you."
She slowly took his glasses off while closing the distance of their lips and lowered her tone to a whisper.
"And I assure you that my proof is irrefutable."
Friday
"I'm impressed! You passed the social section perfectly. I knew you were capable of such a feat and as a reward, you have passed your final." The counselor said to the two students at different times. The blue haired students continued their relationship but at a more friendlier level. The two barely separated from each other which the two groups paid no mind too. As long as they were happy, nonthing could go wrong.
As the two blue students were enjoying there time together, a girl with grey eyes was overlooking them. Info Chan was gracious enough to rewrite they're grades to failure. Ayano was progressing ever so slightly towards he goal.
The two students were sitting under the Sakura tree with study material. Ryusei thought this would be a good opportunity for a confession. After their time spent together, he's absolutely sure that he wants her to stay by his side.
"Hey."
"Yes Ryusei."
He began.
"Mei. You are the most beautiful and brilliant girl I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Ever since I first met you I felt something. However I refused to follow that feeling due to my priorities. But after being your study partner for a week, I now understand that keeping my feelings inside is the most foolish thing I can do. So with this new resolve, will you promise to be my words of wisdom when I'm lost? To be my source of inspiration? To stay by my side?"
Mei silently put down her book and was ready to respond.
"Ryusei. I knew that you were going to confess to me. Ever since I met you, I knew that I was going to have some sort of attachment to you. I knew that your by far a very intelligent boy, not to mention dashing. But what I didn't know was that you were the answer. The answer to my problems, to my confusion on feelings, the answer to my 'True love'. You've provided me with an answer so it's only right I do the same. Yes, I will stay by your side no matter what promblems come our way."
Ryusei and Mei both embraced each other and sealed their promise with a kiss.
"I look forward to our time together."
"As do I."
10 years later
"Daddy! Look! I made an A on my test! The teacher said I'm really smart!" The little girl with blue eyes told her blue haired father who preoccupied with a project.
"Marvelous honey! You might have gotten your intelligence from your lovely mother and...Blasted all! I can't figure this out!" He exclaimed in anger. There was a formula that wasn't mixing right.
"Can't figure what our dear?" The blue haired woman said as she made her way towards the blue haired man.
"This project. I'm so close to finishing it but there is a problem I can't see. I'm just about to giv-"
"You forgot to carry the two honey."
The blue haired man double checked the woman's answer and it was right on the money. The formula finally did it's intended purpose.The little girl rejoiced over the woman's correct answer.
"Yayyy! Mommy solved it. Wait, where is my little brother."
"He's upstairs. You should go check on him to make sure he's alright." She said which made the little girl run upstairs.
"What would I do with out you Mei. You are still the brightest and beautiful person I've ever met. You were right, it's been ten years and I still don't regret it."
"I didn't do that much Ryusei. I did promise that I would be your words of wisdom but you are the more intelligent one along with being handsome as well. We make a good team don't we."
They both embraced each other and shared a kiss. They stared into each other's eyes and analyzed their features. After a few seconds they finally reaffirmed their answer.
"I love you Mei and I know you love me too."
"And you say your not the bright one. But your gonna need evidence to back up that claim. How do I know you love me Ryusei Koki" She said in a playful tone.
Ryusei responded with a passionate kiss. He began to take full control as Mei let him. Then she suddenly got hoisted up bridal style.
"I assure you that will not be a promblem, Mei Mio."
