Chapter 3: "The Night of the Trouble-hearted"


"Okay... Now explain. Why did the prime-minister strongest candidate came all the way here at nine p.m.?"

Bossun, Himeko, and Sasuke were sitting altogether in the living room. This scene was rather familiar to Bossun and Himeko's SKET Dan days, where they both sat down in front of their troubled patron and tried to give advice or solve their dilemma.

Sasuke had that troubled expression on his face. It's been a long time since he last visited his older twin brother's house because he was terribly busy all the time. As a prime-minister candidate, he needed to be at several places throughout Japan; It was either leading a campaign to deem his worthiness of a being a prime minister or other political matters. It was a complicated and tiring thing to do but it was necessary. It was his passion to lead society to a better place. He always maintained his high-spirit to guarantee the people's comfort at all time. Thus, explaining why he was the strongest candidate.

"Fujisaki… I…"

"Hmm? You what?"

"… I am nervous…"

"WHAT THE HECK? YOU ARE GOING TO BE A PRIME-MINISTER FOR GOD'S SAKE! AND LOOK! YOU ARE ACTING ALL LIKE A 15 YEARS OLD BOYS WHO HAS JUST BEGUN AN UNAUTHORIZED RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND BECAUSE HER PARENTS DON'T ALLOW HER TO! YOU ARE A 28 YEARS OLD MAN! Wait… What's with your face? …. STOP! STOP BLUSHING!" Bossun threw a tsukkomi at his brother.

"DON'T YELL AT ME! JUST BECAUSE YOU GOT MARRIED FIRST DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU CAN LECTURE ME LIKE A LITTLE CHILD ALL YOU WANT!"

"… A… aah," Himeko blushed. Her heart filled with some kind of pleasant warm feeling simply by looking at the twin-brothers comedic argument.

"Look. You know me well enough that I've never give my thoughts into romance-related things." Sasuke reasoned.

'Until that time'

"… I… I've never, even for once, date a girl before!" Tsubaki's rolled his eyes, stunned by his own embarrassment.

"Now that you mention it… Tsubaki have never dated anyone before her, right? That's because the two of you were too dense to realize your own feelings! Ahahaha," Himeko laughed.

"That… That's rude, Hime-san!"

Sasuke sighed, he needed to calm his mind. He intended to vent out all of his nervousness by consulting his worries to a married couple that he knew very well.

'I need to calm down', Sasuke repeated that mantra inside his head.

"We were both pretty stubborn…" Sasuke started. "That might be the reason why both of us needed such a long time to come to our feelings" He said without looking at Bossun and Himeko, whom were looking at each other while wondering about something. The couple bonded through a telepathy line between them in a speed of light.

"Oi, Hime. Since when did this become a consultation session?"

"How should I know? He is your brother, you should understand him more than me!"
"… But you see, Yuusuke… He barged in here at this very late hour between his VERY tight schedules, so it must be important, right?
" Himeko smiled.

"I… I KNOW THAT!" the husband accidentally spoke out loud.

This consequently made Sasuke backed off from his sitting position a bit because he thought his twin brother yelled at him just now. He thought that Bossun really meant his words from before and tried to bring that up again. However, Sasuke is a more composed and calmer gentleman now – and someone who is about to be married soon. So, he didn't really mind Bossun's annoying tsukkomi(s).

The topaz eyed man continued his talking.

"We… Well, it's not like I didn't want to date her back then. I'll admit that I was really interested in her during our cram schooling… It's just… I…" Sasuke looked like he tried to find the right words. "I wanted to do it more properly…"

Sasuke placed his hand on his chest and began speaking, "This kind of emotion is important for human's life, it's a part of our lives. If she and I… went out together that time and I did something reckless that would make her sad or down, it would probably affect our future relationships. 'I might not get to see her in the future'… that was what I thought…"

"But I'm glad that it turned out well… Even though it took approximately ten years for me to finally propose her," Sasuke smiled gently.

Bossun and Himeko replied his radiant smile with a… pair of comment.

"That's our prime-minister candidate! Hyu hyu!"

"No. He's just being too brick-headed! Hyu hyu!"

"DON'T BRING THAT UP AGAIN! IT'S TOO CLICHÉ! AND WHAT'S WITH THAT [hyu hyu]? IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE YOUR LAUGHS?" Sasuke snapped and pointed at the couple.

"Ahaha. Sorry about that…" Himeko said.

"You see, Tsubaki. Hime and I were about to re-read the love letters from you and Saaya..."

"WHAT THE HECK? YOU STILL HAVE THEM?"

"Ye… yeah… Apparently I stored them inside my cabinet and framed them. Ushashahaha," Bossun snickered evilly.

"To read love letters from another girl (and guy) in front of your wife… Do you have a heart, Fujisaki?" Sasuke asked sternly.

"Well, Hime wants to read them, so it's okay. Right, Hime?"

"Yup! It is okay, Tsubaki!"
"Aaaah. I see now! You said that because you don't want us to re-read your letter, didn't you?" Himeko teased.

"This is so embarrassing…"
"Sh-Should I just go home?" Sasuke looked away.

"No! No! You still have to ease your worries away, right?"

"We won't let you go home empty-handed! Because we are…"

"SKET DAN!"

The couple did the same old style they always did together back then in high school whenever the SKET Dan received problems from their customers.

Sasuke could only smile nostalgically upon looking the SKET Dan gesture after such a long time. It brought back his memories of his high school years when he was the President of the Student Council and successfully made Kaimei high-school into a better school. Of course he also remembered that it was on that fated school that he met his destined bride.

However, his smile is faded and his face is reddened as soon as Bossun came back with the love letter Sasuke wrote on the night of the first day of cram school.

"AARGH. THIS IS SO EMBARASSING!"


10 Years ago.
Tsubaki's household.
6 P.M.

It was really dark in Sasuke's room. The window was closed tightly and the door was locked from the inside. Why did he close them all? It's because he needed his room to be a sound proof space since he will be requiring a big deal of concentration to do something he had never ever thought to do in his life: Writing love letter(s). One for his older twin brother and the other was for a twin-ponytail haired girl who was a sister of someone he really admired.

Despite locking himself in a soundproof space, he still couldn't gather any concentration.

"… ugh… Dang it… I can't think of a word! I've never did something like this before! Why do I have to do this?"

"Wait. This is the President's order! I have to do this!" He clenched his fists.

"Hmm… I think I'll start with the easier one… So… it will be the one who has closer relationship with me, huh?" He held his pen again and began writing, but he stopped after 2 seconds.

"OK… Dear Fujisaki… Wait, why did I write Fujisaki first? It's not like we have a close relationship! And he is annoying to the root in the first place! Fine then! I'll go with Agata Saaya's now! And I will make it better than Fujisaki's love letter! Here I come!"

Sasuke hit the edge of his pen to the surface of the paper and began writing love letter for the ex-president's sister, "Dear Agata Saaya…"

"Hmm… A love letter's content should be the writer's impression of the target with flattery words, right? Okay then."

The pen moved smoothly without stopping. He used every praising word he ever known until now from songs, poem, novel, etc, and wrote them down on the paper, regardless of the meaning. The student council president never felt such heart-warming emotion as love before in his life, that's why he thought that it was okay to put everything that was in his mind.

After he finished with Saaya's, Sasuke continued to write for his brother again.

….


At the same time at Agata household, Saaya's room.

Uuuh… Why did brother ask us to write love letters? Couldn't he give another punishment? For example, do another harder question or anything else. It must be because of his doubts towards Bossun!

Agata Saaya, a tsundere in love, was sitting at her desk in her bedroom to think of what she should write in her love letter. It should be quite easy to express her admiration towards Bossun in a piece of paper since she is madly in love with him. But her tsun-tsun side made her shook her head every time she found 'overheated' words in her letter.

It's so hard! Writing for Bossun is really hard! What if I wrote something wrong in the letter? I will be very embarrassed! He might even get irritated!

Suddenly, in Saaya's complicated mind, Bossun's face popped out. He was making an annoyed and disgusted expression.

"NOOOO! I WON'T LET IT HAPPEN!"

"Now what should I do?"

"Ah I know! I can warm up my imagination by writing for Tsubaki-kun first!"

Saaya took out another paper from the drawer and began writing for Sasuke. Unexpectedly, it's easy for her because she could easily write down her imagination freely on the paper because she rarely made any conversations with Sasuke. She assumed that it was harmless towards her relation with Sasuke since they barely made any conversations. Regardless of what she writes down, nothing will change.

"Finish! Now, let's write Bossun's!" She brushed off her love letter for Sasuke and began making Bossun's after that.

Saaya wrote each characters, words, and tenses with such great care. Without even realizing it, the digital clock in her room showed [23.33]. She was glad that she had finished those letters in time. She kept the letters in her bag and then went to bed.


23.33 At night,

Fujisaki household, Bossun's room

"Man! That Agata is really troublesome! He's playing with our confidence!" Bossun was laying on his bed contemplating about something.

It's already dark in his house. Akane and Rumi were already asleep. Bossun was the only person who was still up because he needed to prepare his love letter not only for his twin brother, also for a tsundere girl who had confessed her feelings to him a while ago; Whose brother was the one who gave this punishment to his small team.

"You'll see! I won't get nervous just because I must read this out loud!" he clenched his feet up to the sky.

"""At that time, Bossun had already finished his love letters. Let's just skip him because he is not the main character in this story"""

"Hey wait, Switch! Why are you the one who narrates this story! And how could I not be the main character!?"

And so, just like that, the night of the trouble-hearted ended.


Next day,

Kaimei High-School, class 3-C.

It was break time yet there were two brethren who remained still in the class, sleeping on their seats. It was reasonable. They spent their night with such hazy feelings and confusions. That was the very first time they ever wrote love letter, of course they spent a long time.

As a good friend, one would usually leave their friend who was sleeping in the class during break time. However, Himeko and Switch didn't do that. They urged Bossun to eat lunch together with them.

"Bossun~ let's eat lunch together!"

"""Bo Bo Bo Bossun~ your lunch is ready…"""

"…ngggh… later, mom…"

"HE MISTOOK SWITCH'S LAPTOP'S SOUNDS WITH AKANE-SAN'S! THERE'S NO WAY AKANE-SAN WOULD CALL HIM 'BO BO BO BOSSUN'! IT IS A MANGA TITLE FOR GOD'S SAKE! HOW SLEEPY CAN YOU GET!?"
"Oi Bossun! Wake uuuup!"

"Uuuu…. AAAAGH! SHUT UP HIMEKOOOO!" He banged his table.

The sudden loud sound made Sasuke, who was sleeping on his seat which was next to Bossun's, opened his cat-shaped eyes.

"Uuh… What was that?" He rubbed his eyes.

"Ah, Tsubaki. I'm sorry! We must have awakened you up as well…"
"I know! Why don't you join us for lunch? It will be fun to eat with your older brother once in a while, right? Ufufufu~" Himeko giggled with reddened face.

"Uh? Ah? Okay… It's alright, I guess…" He half-sleepily answered.

"What? Seriously?" Bossun was shocked.

"Yaaay! Let's go Bossun, Sassun!"

"WHO IS SASSUN?"

Himeko cheerfully pushed the sleepy Bossun and Sassun towards the class's exit when a figure with glasses and ponytail opened 3-C's door. That time, Himeko was still pushing Bossun on the back whom was also pushing his brother's back.

"Huh?"

"Ngg?"

The foremost boy in the line and the girl who was about to come into the class stared into each other's eyes in a speed of light before that accident happened…

That's right. Himeko pushed the boys harder once more without realizing that Daisy is on the door's nose. At such bad times, Sasuke lost his balance, making him collapsed onto his fellow student council member with his twin brother on his back.

*fa-thud!*

The gap of those eyes before now gotten even closer with the perspective owner's lips locked into each other's. Himeko and Switch could only drop their jaw upon looking at the messy scene in front of them.

"I'm sorry, Daisy-chan! Are you alright?" Himeko leaped to try helped Daisy up.

However, she found that Daisy was still in shock. The secretary of student council never thought that the one who would steal her first kiss is none other than the man whom she had served for almost two years. Not to mention, she also never even consider about having her first kiss on her high school years.

Sasuke's hazy mind has finally gone. He lifted himself and Bossun. He tidied his uniform then asked, "Are you alright, Asahi…"

"Na...?"

Daisy didn't answer him but turned her back away from Sasuke before running away.

"Asahina? Wait!"
"What's wrong with her…?"

"AND WHY AM I HERE? WASN'T I SLEEPING AT MY SEAT?"

It looked like he had finally gained full consciousness. He was still half-sleep when he collided with Daisy and Bossun. It seemed like the force of falling to the floor had made him awakened thoroughly.

The SKET Dan members looked at each other.

"Himeko, chase her."

"Understood!" Himeko nodded and ran to Daisy's direction.

"Oi, Fujisaki. What happened actually with Asahina?"

"Nothing! She only wanted to go to the toilet! And apparently, Himeko wanted to go too, so I suggest her to run after Daisy-san!" Bossun pointed at the running Himeko.

"Ah, is that so? Ouch!" Sasuke suddenly felt hurt on his front teeth.

"Now what??"

"My teeth and nose hurt… Is this because I hit the floor when I fell back there?"

Bossun dragged Switch back into their classroom again to ask him, "Switch, do you think we should tell him the truth?"

Switch thought over about Bossun's question for a few seconds then typed on his laptop.

"""I think we should let Daisy take care of this herself""" he replied in a low volume.


At the restroom

Daisy was panting on the wash basin. After she was able to breathe normally again, she looked into the mirror only to find her face was as red as a steamed crab. She also felt her cheeks were hotter and wet from her sweat.

She replayed the messy scene she has just jumped into a while ago in her mind.

When Sasuke suddenly appeared on the edge of her nose and when she felt his lips pressed against hers.

She touched her pink lips gently when suddenly Himeko made her appearance on the women's bathroom. Himeko was expecting to find Daisy in tears, yet what she found was…

"Daisy-chan is smiling?"

"O-Onizuka-san?"

"Daisy-chan, are you alright?"

"I… I am alright. Don't worry about it."

"I see…" Himeko couldn't help but to blush too when she saw Daisy's reddened cheek. That was a very rare sight to begin with. Anyone will react the same way as Himeko if they ever saw it.

The school bell suddenly rang. Break time was over.

"Ah. The bell is ringin'… Dang it. I haven't eaten my lunch yet. Now I'm so hungry…" Himeko rubbed her stomach.

"Here. Take my bread," Daisy handed Himeko her bread.

"Wow! Is… Is this okay? Have you eaten anything, Daisy-chan?"

"I have. I actually bought it for…" Daisy cut herself off. "For…"

That kissing scene is popped out again in her mind in a slow motion. Making Daisy forgot to continue her words.

"For who, Daisy-chan?"

"NVM (NeVerMind)"

"Aaah… I knew it!" Himeko slapped Daisy's back.

"Sh... Shut up!"

It suddenly became silent between the two girls until finally Daisy walked towards the restroom's exit and stop by the door to say to Himeko, "Don't tell anyone about this."

Himeko could only smile and nodded cheerfully.


Time flew by very fast and cram school session with Agata Soujiro, had started. He entered class 3-C with his sister, Saaya.

"Yo! How is it going everyone!?" He greeted his pupils casually.

"I'm fine, President!" Sasuke was the only one who answered his greet.

"KA KA KA! You seem pretty eager today as well, Tsubaki!"

"Since the other doesn't seem so, why you not read your love letters in front of the class?"

"WHAAAT?"

"Eh? I told you yesterday to read it out loud today, no?"

"I… I failed to hear that, President!"

"That's too bad then. Now, read it out loud!" Agata persisted. "Of course Bossun and Saaya will have to read their letters as well later!"

Saaya and Bossun gulped. They also forgot that Soujiro said to read their letters in front of the class that day. It was extremely embarrassing! But what can they do? They've lost to the mighty Switch on yesterday's clash, so they must take all the punishment.

Sasuke hesitantly made his way to the podium to read his letter.

"Go Tsubakiiii!" Captain and Himeko encouraged him.

"Shut up!" Tsubaki shushed the two before coughing his throat. "Ahem… So… I wrote this letter for Agata Saaya…"

Everyone in the class but Bossun, Saaya and Daisy laughed.

"Dear Agata Saaya…"

"I love and adore you."

Sasuke's words just now somehow had made Daisy's heart skipped a beat while Bossun and the others were thinking, "A CONFESSION RIGHT AT THE START? JUST HOW LAME CAN YOU GET?"

"Ever since I first laid my eyes on you I was certain they would never again picture other sweeter image. Your beauty and finesse seduced me right away."

Sasuke stopped to draw his breath then continue reading it.

"Your voice reached my ears like the sweetest melody, beating the lustful pulse of my aching heart. Ever since that first glance my life shifted as a whole, because in an instant I understood what love really is, because I understood that when love and joy are shared, more intense they become, and that grief and hardship are a lesser burden when faced with clarity and trust.

"Loving you makes me feel safer and more alive. It brought me the courage to search, in purest spring, the water that will quench our thirst, the strength to reach for the ripest fruit that insisted on growing on the highest branch, energy to overcome each and every obstacle for to have a forever open chest and a willing heart to keep you warm, body and soul, always."

"I will always foster this love and a constantly ready myself to review this feeling as a promise, of a truthful worship I have towards you. Have absolute certainty that my biggest fulfilment knows that I can make you the happiest woman and the most beloved in this earth, because I dedicate my seconds to this goal."

"That's my love letter for Agata Saaya… Huh, what's wrong everyone?" Sasuke was dumbfounded when he realized that the whole class is having blushes on their cheeks.

"Tsubaki-kun… That's… That's…" Saaya said piece by piece.

"Do… Don't get the wrong idea, Agata Saaya! It… It's merely because President Agata asked us, remember?"

By looking on this warm scene, Himeko felt like there was something off. Something very important that she has learned not too long ago that includes someone's feeling in this classroom as well.

She turned her head towards Daisy and noticed that she's frowning while squeezing her cute doll very hard at that moment.

"That's quite surprising, Tsubaki… ahahaha…" Soujiro confessed.

"I DOUBT THAT TSUBAKI IS ABLE TO MAKE SUCH SMOOTH LOVE LETTER OUT OF NOWHERE! He must have something for Saaya! But unfortunately for him, Saaya loves Fujisaki!"

"Well, I still have to test if Fujisaki does love her too though…"

"Now, Fujisaki! Let us listen to your letter!" Soujiro pointed at Bossun.

"HEEEE?"

"President Agata, what about my letter for Fujisaki?"

"Just give it to him and let him read by himself at home. Now come forth, Fujisaki! Oh~ Give applause to Tsubaki!"

The students clapped their hands as Sasuke walked down the podium and passed by Bossun to give him his love letter.

"Here. I made it terribly."

"Hmph. Never expect more from you," Bossun smirked.

The man with red popman cap was now standing on the podium goofily. Suddenly, Soujiro patted his back then whispered, "Read Saaya's!"

"O… Ough…"

Bossun cleared his throat then started reading, "To Saaya…"

The girl whose name has just been announced by the president of the campus support group skipped a heartbeat.

"This is a love letter for you…"

"Please receive it open-handedly."

"Thank you."

.

.

.

The whole class is silent and then yelled at the same time at Bossun, "WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?!"

Just as usual, Bossun made his usual goofy face comeback.
