I'm on a roll cuz Mari and Mattsun are driving me insane XD Best ship in the series. 10 outta 10.

And since you guys have been really supportive, here's another one-shot~ Though I'm not too happy with this one, I still hope you'll enjoy this chapter~


Tsutui Mari was certain of it; her boyfriend was too damn handsome. Every time they would go out, even if he would walk her home or going on a date, she couldn't help but feel the stares of some women on Matsunaga Tomoya. Well, she really didn't care, if you ask her. Tomoya wasn't really hard to ignore, especially with his looks and his bright, red hair. And on some occasions, girls would actually ask for his name and number while she was with him. The nerve of those bitches.

But really, Mari didn't care at all.

Not because she doesn't like Tomoya even if it seems that she doesn't like him, deep inside she loves the red-headed idiot, though there is no way for anyone to make her admit it. She simply trusts him, seeing how he has changed ever since his confession through her door. And partly, because Tomoya doesn't give in to the girls.

And of course, Tomoya doesn't know all about those things mentioned above.

"You don't get jealous at all. That's what bothers me." Tomoya muttered as he opened his can of coffee. It was lunch break in their school, and he decided to hang out with Mari for a bit before heading back to his classroom. On the other hand, Mari stabbed a straw on her juice box as she glanced at him.

"I already told you before, haven't I? I trust you. You're dependable." she replied as she sipped from her juice box. The two walked upstairs to the roof top, the same roof top where Natsuki and Anna confessed their feelings to the other. Once in a while, they would stay for a bit at lunch, only if there was time left before classes resume. Tomoya was quiet for a few seconds before he started talking again.

"…Do you dislike me, Mari?" he asked suddenly, making Mari almost choke on her juice.

"What the hell are talking about?" she asked, her full attention on him.

"Well first, you don't get jealous. And when I suggest that we should go out or kiss, you always give me this mad glare or something!"

"H-hey! I do go on dates with you and we do kiss! What you're suggesting, is we do it every day!"

"That's what couples do!"

"What's the point of doing it every day?"

"To prove that you do love me."

Once they reached the roof top, Mari was practically glaring at Tomoya.

"What proof do you even want?" she asked, her voice was oddly monotonous now. For two months that they have been dating, Tomoya learned to never, ever agitate her when her voice becomes as serious as this one.

"Ah, never mind. I don't like us arguing like this. I'm sorry. Just forget about it." he said before drinking his coffee to the last drop.

"I don't like it when girls gawk at you or ask for your number." Mari suddenly said, catching Tomoya in surprise.

"H-huh?"

"I'm not saying it again! Ugh, just leave me alone!" Mari said as she dashed down from the roof top, leaving a baffled Tomoya behind. With his eyes wide open and his jaw dropped, he suddenly realized that Mari was getting jealous all along. She just wouldn't admit it. When realization hit him, he smiled sheepishly.

On the way back to his classroom, he took a small peek at Mari's class just to check if she was there. And sure enough, she was sitting on her desk and was chatting with Anna, who was sitting just beside her. He couldn't figure out what they were talking about, but from the looks of it, Mari was having fun.

"Geez. If only she'd be that happy when we talk." he muttered to himself. Realizing that classes are about to resume, he continued to walk back to his room.

Upon reaching his destination, he was welcomed with a huge grin from Natsuki.

"Whoa, you're extra cheery today, Natcchan." He said.

"Of course he's beaming with joy. He's going on a date with Kobayakawa-san this Saturday." Keiichi said without taking his attention away from the magazine he was reading. Tomoya chuckled, every time Anna and Natsuki would go on a date, the baby-faced blond looked like a kid on Christmas morning. Natsuki was always easy to read.

"I'm just so excited you know! We're watching a movie! I wonder what I'll wear. Maybe we'll eat at a nearby café too!" Natsuki rambled on.

"Slow down, Natcchan. It's only Wednesday, you know. You've still got three more days to go." Tomoya reminded him, though Natsuki still went on.

"Take her to that maid café Yukirin and I went to, Natcchan." Tsuyoshi suggested as he looked up from PS Vita. Natsuki turned his attention to the raven-haired otaku, and asked a few more questions for date ideas.

"Oh! Right, since you're the one with the longest relationship experience Tsuyopon, what other suggestions can you give for our date?" Natsuki asked, his eyes full of curiosity. And oddly, sparkles. And because Tsuyoshi was too lazy to give an actual answer, he decided to give the responsibility to his girlfriend.

"I'll be meeting with Yukirin after school. Maybe you could ask her for some suggestions." he replied casually.

"Oh! Right! Thanks Tsuyopon~!"

On the other hand, Tomoya and Keiichi stared at Natsuki as if he had offended them.

"Hey! Aren't you gonna ask us?" Tomoya said as he pointed to himself.

"Yeah, Natcchan. I have some pretty good suggestions too." Keiichi said with a whip in hand. The whip alone was enough to convince Natsuki not to ask Keiichi for some date suggestions with Anna. He gulped in fright.

"No thanks, you guys. I'm pretty sure Yukirin can give me some good advice. Plus, it's from a girl's point of view!" he replied with a small smile. Keiichi whined an 'eeeeeeeh?' upon hearing what Natsuki just said. Tomoya on the other hand felt a light bulb shine above his head.

"Maybe I could ask Yukirin for some advice too. From a girl's point of view, right?" Tomoya said.

"Yeah, I guess you could." Tsuyoshi muttered, not looking up from his game console.

"But you have to walk Tsutsui-san home, right?" Natsuki asked. Tomoya thought for a while before making today an exception. He decided that maybe Mari would like to go home with Anna today.

"Plus, Kobayakawa-san would be going home by herself today as well, right? Since you're going to meet with Yukirin." Tomoya concluded. Natsuki then agreed with him.

Classes then resumed for the afternoon.


Tomoya was walking with Natsuki towards Mari and Anna's classroom to bid their goodbyes. Anna was first to come out of their room and talk to Natsuki. There, he explained that he's going to meet with Yukirin for some date suggestions. Anna blushed a little upon hearing the word date, making Natsuki blush too. Meanwhile, Tomoya waited until Mari went outside her room to talk to him.

"What?" she said, her voice still serious. Tomoya patted her head playfully, much to Mari's annoyance.

"I'm meeting with Yukirin today. Together with Natcchan. So, you could go home with Kobayakawa-san today." he casually said. Since her head was looking on the ground, Tomoya couldn't see what her reaction was. He thought that she was still mad at him, so he took her silence as a yes. But before leaving, he placed a small kiss on her head before saying 'see you tomorrow'. As he was about to turn around and leave with Natsuki, he felt a tug on the hem of his sleeves, preventing him from walking farther away. It wasn't that strong, but it was enough to catch his attention.

Much to his surprise, Mari's petite fingers hung on his sleeve. Slightly confused, he decided to stay for a bit.

"What's wrong?" he asked. Mari didn't respond, her head still hung and her grip was still on his sleeve.

"D-d-do-don't… meet up… w-walk… me… h-h-home." she stuttered as quietly as she can. Despite her meek voice, Tomoya still heard her and what she said could probably give him a heart attack. With a chuckle, he placed his free arm around her and pulled her closer to him.

"Fine. I'll walk you home." he whispered back.

Lucky for Tomoya, Anna wanted to tag along with Natsuki's meet up with Yukirin. That way, he wouldn't feel like the fifth wheel. He suggested that he and Mari would come along too, but his girlfriend insisted that they go home because apparently, her brother was coming to visit her.

"Oh come on, Mari-chan. I know full well that you just want me all to yourself instead of hanging with Natsuki and the others." he teased her as they walked to the train station hand in hand. With dread obvious in her façade, she replied.

"You're so gross." she muttered as she squeezed his hand a bit. Tomoya snickered. Shortly after their walk, they reached the train station and got on the train. Fortunately for them, the train wasn't that full and they got to sit down on one of the train's seats.

"You loooooooove me. And you got jealous of Yukirin, right? Man who knew you'd be this possessive." he said teasingly that only annoyed his girlfriend even more.

"Shut up! I told you that I don't get jealous!" she retorted, her face as red as a ripe tomato.

"Fine, fine. Whatever you say." Tomoya said, as if surrendering. Deep inside though, he was sure that his girlfriend got at least a tiny bit jealous. And that made him even crazier for her. Reluctantly, Mari scooted a bit closer to Tomoya and leaned her head on his shoulder. Taken by surprise, he glanced at his raven-haired girlfriend. Then, he smiled.

"Just you know, I'm only yours, Ma-ri-chan~"

After a few seconds of silence, Mari replied.

"I know." she mumbled as she tightened her grip on his hand.
