A/N :

pomxxx : I'd learn from him first!

Flashback

She followed him to the school's backyard. While her mind was preoccupied with thousand of self-imaginary scenarios that could and probably would happen any minutes from now, Akashi's voice shattered them.

"Kirisaki-san."

"YES!" Yue found herself to straighten out when he called out to her. She didn't know why she acted like that, but, she did anyways. Maybe it's because everyone's aware of Akashi liked to keep things as straight as possible. Maybe.

"About what you said the other day..."

The memory of the confession and she ran away from it came to her mind without being invited almost immediately. Yue blushed. "Y-Yes?"

"How am I supposed to take it, then?"

Huh?

"Was it a true confession or a prank?" Akashi was indeed quite bothered by it. That was the first time someone confessed and apologized and ran for it like hell. It did look like prank no matter at which angle he're trying to look at.

Yue's already fidgeting. "I..." Trying to build up her courage, she finally be able to say, "It's a-a serious one!"

A smile tugged on his lips. "May I call you Yue?"

Eh?

End flashback

Haish.

A deep sigh escaped her lips. A tired sigh as well as frustrated sigh. Yue really felt like her hair grew grey just because of this stupid annual event. Her heavy head was rested on the table with her eyes closed, trying to find some peace in the mountain paperworks needed to be checked and approved later.

Come on! The hell with they let someone so green handled this?

"Need some help?" Mayuzumi stood by her table with his bagpack on his left shoulder, ready to go home. It's already past school hours. They haven't met with each other for a week since Mayuzumi's been busy with his entrance exam and Yue's busy with this grand event.

She opened her eyes, only to meet a pair of concerned orbs. "Chi."

Mayuzumi shifted the paperworks from her table to another one beside her so that he could get a better look at her. Done, he spun around the chair in front of Yue's table to seat in front of her.

"You're okay?"

"I'm beat."

"Wanna go home together?"

"Help me carry those, will you?" Yue motioned to the paper stack.

"Is that a request?"

"Please." Yue already got up and picked her bag up from the floor. "That's actually an order."

"Figured."

Yue served her guest a hot chocolate before taking a seat herself at the dining table. Her eyes travelled to the paperworks on the japanese table in the middle of living room. Her brain felt tangled just by looking at it.

"You are disturbed." A statement, not a question was made by him.

"Isn't it obvious?"

"Why?"

"Why can't they ask the sophomore who are more familiars with this rather than freshman like me?" Yue's starting to vent out her frustration. "I understand if the seniors are busy because they have entrance exams to prepare for, but..."

"Maybe it's because you're the one who handled 'Mind Your Japanese' for foreigners?" Rakuzan has student exchange programme every summer with collaboration from high school students from Australia. And this year was no exception. Yue was in charge of the event held for them. It was funky and well-received by everyone. In other words, Yue's a natural-born organizer.

"But still, that was in summer. It's holiday time."

"Just bear with it. It'll be over in..." Mayuzumi mentally calculated the estimated time his mind. "Another two weeks."

Yue sighed.

"What's the real reason?" Mayuzumi took a glance at her before sipping on his hot choco again.

Silence filled in. Yue took a deep breath before answering. "I got partnered with Akashi."

"I know." Must be Reo's work.

"I went to the student council's room the other day to withdraw myself from this." Mayuzumi went silenced. "I accidentally eavesdropping on them." Her face got darker. "Akashi said a game with only two person is boring." The atmosphere became gloomier. "That guy sure has a freaking ego to match his personality."

Mayuzumi sipped on his hot chocolate. "You still miss him?"

"I do." Yue admitted. "But, I don't really see any difference with or without him." Yue sensed Akashi's changes during the start of their senior year in Teiko. She couldn't pointed it out where, but he's different from the usual gentle Akashi. She thought it was the pressure of being the captain. But apparently, she was wrong.

And the fact that Akashi didn't announce their relationship to anyone didn't help it any better.

To that, Mayuzumi didn't respond. More like, he didn't know how to.

After fifteen minutes of silence, Yue finally broke it. "I feel like talking to the wall." She was referring how emotionless Mayuzumi was.

"And did the wall make you feel better?"

"Shut up."

"You're welcome."

A/N : Honestly, no idea why it ends like that. Oh well~ RnR please? Ty ^^
