Chapter 3

Satoshi came over and sat next to Naomi after is talk with Yuka.

"Hey, guys. It's getting pretty late, we all should really go home." He said looking towards the ever darkening sky through a nearby window.

"I could walk you home if you'd like, Shinozaki." Yoshiki said, looking at the navy haired girl whilst rubbing the back of his head nervously.

"Sure, but Mayu's coming with me, we're having a sleepover at my house." She replied indifferently.

Yoshiki was both disappointed and relieved at the same time for the extra company. It would be awkward with just the two of them and they probably wouldn't have that much to talk about, but if she didn't start off a conversation that didn't mean he wasn't prepared to.

On the other hand, having Mayu with them would most likely mean he'd be ignored, but at the very least he could guarantee their safety. He may also hear something that he could use to make conversation with Ayumi the next time he saw her in their upcoming discussion.

Either way, he wasn't losing anything.

"Yeah, sure, no problem." Yoshiki shrugged, feigning a lack of concern.

"Ok, let's go!" Ayumi chirped, linking arms with Mayu on her way to the coat rack and getting her to stand up and follow.

Yoshiki didn't say anything, he just stared longing at the pairs linked arms. He stood up and straightened his jacket with creased brows and a small frown. He followed the girls out into the hallway.

Everyone else then got up and dusted themselves off before also going to collect their coats.

"WAIT!" Seiko shouted above all the scuffling that was going on in the small space. Standing in front of the door with a Cheshire like grin plastered to her face.

"No one's going anywhere until our Dear Mochi and the fair, plump breasted Naomi share true love's first kiss!" She declared, looking around at all the shocked (or not so shocked) faces.

"What!?" Satoshi and Naomi both exclaimed, looking at each other and turning an extra ordinary shade of red once they made eye contact.

"Well, I guess it could be worse, she could make us kiss on th-" Naomi said before getting cut off, trying to calm her nerves and the tension in the room.

"One more thing! It has to be a nice at-least-three-seconds smooch on the lips!" Seiko added in quickly, knowing what Naomi had been about to say. She had a cheeky smirk that would turn into a pout if necessary.

Naomi sighed deeply in frustration. "Oh, what the hell!" he growled, glaring at her best friend. She got onto her tip-toes, grabbed Satoshi by the ears and pulled him down to meet her to meet her half way in one sift motion.

Satoshi was quite surprised and almost didn't catch himself from the sudden movement. After the three seconds was up, both parties pulled away red as can be satisfied and relieved.

Ayumi felt kind of other worldly, as if she was reading a really bad fan fiction and she was supposed to feel something negative, but she felt nothing of the sort. She didn't want to be selfish; she had seen that her two friends had a very close relationship and how they went perfectly together.

Although she felt a little sad, she could only hope that she'd find someone who loved her just as much as they did each other. She managed to put on an honest smile, Mayu squealed in delight with Morishige rolling his eyes in a dramatic fashion. He took Mayu off to the side gave her a farewell hug which she gladly returned. He then gave a loud good bye to signal he needed to go, Seiko stepped off to the side, satisfied with the digital picture withheld on her phone.

Yoshiki gave Satoshi a pat on the back, then looked towards Ayumi, expecting her to be red with anger. He smiled at her calm features, glad she didn't seem like she was going to blow any heads off today, or well, this evening.
