Summary: Asuka and Manjoume's romance wasn't handed to either of them on a silver platter. This was something they had to work for. But as sure as a storm, as sweet as perfume, they'll be together.
Sweat trickled down his back, but Manjoume tried not to notice at. Getting the Spirit Keys and making the arrangements for this love duel had exhausted him, and if it wasn't for the fact he was dueling Tenjoin-kun, he would've already went to bed.
He couldn't pass out now, though. He had so much to do, so much to convince her of! Maybe it would start with this. Everyone knew how he'd insisted all throughout the year that everyone call him Manjoume-san. The only people who had ever called him by his given name were his brothers.
Manjoume swallowed again and fought to remain steady on his feet. "Call me Jun. Please."
Nothing but shock radiated off everyone else. Manjoume ignored their reactions; all he cared about was what Tenjoin-kun herself said and did. Would she do it? Would she accept the gift of his name?
What would he call her if he did win and they started to date? Tenjoin-kun was all that he could imagine calling her now. He had called her "Asuka" before, but never to her face. His mind folded over her name, whispering it in his thoughts.
Tenjoin Asuka. Tenjoin-kun. He wanted to hear his name on her lips. He wanted her to accept everything he was giving her and then some. He could take her anywhere in the world she wanted to go. The most expensive stores, the finest restaurants, beautiful beaches to walk along, anything that she wanted or thought she wanted would be hers for the asking.
"Manjoume-kun." No. Oh, no. She hadn't said it. He slumped but only for a moment; he wasn't going to give up! This duel had just begun! Before it was over, she would call him Jun! And go out on a date with him!
He hoped.
The End
