Ohh, wow. I am totally in the mother of all train wrecks of sleeping patterns, I'm literally becoming nocturnal. AND I have places to BE when I do this to myself.
I have some good tunes and a good… 4 hours until I have to go. With 0 hours of sleep ; but I want to write!
ALSO OwO… I've decided to change the way I speak during the chapters.

FLASHBACKS:
Her eyes were still covered, she looked up but you still couldn't see. She handed Tsuyoshi a little box and then left the closet. Tsuyoshi didn't dare open it. His mother called back to him.
"It's for Aya, son." Then she walked off.
Then Tsuyoshi stares off into nothing…
OO- Mama.. what are you thinking! -OO
END FLASHBACKS
Mami sat outside of Akito's house for a long time before deciding to knock on the door. She actually did still have some lasting fears of this boy she was about to come face-to-face with.
Inner thoughts: be brave girl.. you can do this!
She reaches her shaky hand to the doorbell but can not press it, she grabs her hand by her other and pushes them into the button.
BORED AS FUCK, Akito answers the door, slowly with a slight limp, still sore from Monday. I thought using hell rather then fuck wouldn't let the story have a mature rating for profuse language winks :D
stares at Mami "What do you need?"
eep "I am here to relay a message to you…" Stutter stutter.
"Sure, what is it?"
"I am here to tell you, that a girl hates you." FYI'd! OK I'm being silly
:.:oo:.:
"Alright, but wait a minute," He leaves and returns in a second.
"Here's my number… You look sweaty, did you have to walk far to get here?"
"Well, not… really," thinking: I was actually just really nervous kinda embarrassed
"Anyway Hayama-kun, thank you for your time!" and quickly leaves.
Akito seemingly uninterested walks up to his room. He thinks about it for a second, grabs his Burrucha and types in a message to the letter 'A'.
since we don't like using phones in this anime
Outside, Mami sits quietly at the farthest curb from Hayama's home that she decided to walk to and thought serenly to herself
He seemed so calm; he's not all that bad right? Is he..?
THE KURATA'S
While looking over some lines she had to use in a guest appearance to a show she was going to be in, she heard her Burrucha beeping, the letter 'C' flashing.
.+Akito+.
She walks over to the thing and checks the message.
C
Do you hate me?
blink blink
THE HAYAMA'S
Waiting for her reply, which didn't really take that long at all, he opened up his Burrucha.
A
Want me to:P
:.:Like I thought, but then what was all 'a girl hates you' about:
:.:Well.. otherwise I don't care so..:.:
So he goes back downstairs to watch T.V., leaving Sana bemused.
He, however is unaffected by the whole matter. forgotten really..
THURSDAY AUGUST 28TH
THE SUGITA RESIDENCE
Aya: sigh
MEANWHILE AT TSUYOSHI'S
Tsuyoshi dials:(area code) number number number- number number number number
"Harro? pushes over Move it Yoshi! …Moshi-moshi?" (it was Natsumi)
"Ehh… Hello Natsumi-san, Tsuyoshi here, may I please speak to Akito-kun?"
"He's still alive? annoyed tone Fine; AKITO--!"
Distant voice: "What."
"Don't give me that just ANSWER the phone!"
"Fine, fine." He walks over.
Tsuyoshi still listening: "Here's your STUPID phone!" she throws it in his face.
"I love you sis… TT" Hayama replies.
"Hello?"
"Ah, Akito-kun!"
"Hey, Tsuyoshi… What?" not in a good sounding mood, or a bad one.
"Do you… think you and I could go school shopping together?" a hint of pleading left behind in his throat.
"Ah. Sure. Whatever." But Hayama didn't pick it up.
"Great! I'll meet you at your house, ok?"
"Ah." hangs up phone
So around noon, Tsuyoshi shows up and they go to the local… Walgreen's like thing. It's a peaceful, bit chilly day for summer. The store had their basic pencils, erasers, 8 1/2'" by 11" paper, binders and backpacks. They had to get new backpacks and sunglasses to be pimpin since they're in high school! minus the sunglasses
For side fun purchases, Tsuyoshi bought a pack of mints 3 and Akito bought 2 Moshi pillows. for those who don't know… BEST PILLOWS IN THE WORLD.. you know those cute really small pillows with really tiny micro beads inside to make it so squishy, they come in various shapes and colors. One pillow had a striped blue, black and white pattern on it, the other was a plain black cylinder. the pillows normally are cylinder, not too many squares Tsuyoshi looked around on their way out and laid his eyes on a Sana doll kind of like a Barbie It looked like it was targeted for little children because the doll was in shape of Sana back when Akito just first met her (11). Of course Sana was still very popular, but this was reassuring and it made him happy to see it. Tsuyoshi smiled.
"Akito, why didn't you buy that?" chuckling.
Akito peers over to what Tsuyoshi was pointing at and had a rare jaw dropping 'D'oh?' moment. Quickly reverting back to his usual calm, a grimace still spread on his face, replied:
"Because that would be stupid, I have the real thing." He stated impassively.
"Also maybe a little perverted, I'm guessing the clothes on that doll are removable…"
URK! Akito karate chop
AT THE EVER SO FAMOUS WACDONALDS
God I'm really hungry myself… wah—D - -
CAN'T THINK SINCE IS SO HUNGRY
seriously it's taking me a while to start typing.. Like 2 hours…annnd START!
Akito hands the blue/black/white pillow to Tsuyoshi.
"Eh? What do you want me to do with this? (What's with the new display of affection?)" odded out
"Give it to Aya, they're her favorite colors right? You haven't gotten her anything right? (You know I'm not like that..)" - . -
blank stares at each other
Tsuyoshi: "No I haven't," In a tone that almost suggested that he was in trouble.
takes the pillow "Thank you, now that I think about it, other then what else I have in store, this is the perfect side gift…"
perks up! "'Have in store?'"
"Well, this is why I wanted to hang out with you today. N-not that I wouldn't have wanted to anyway…" Akito doesn't care "Eh… ok… My mother gave me something… to give to Aya."
"Something that's really hard to give to her." Akito was playing along.
"YES! SO HARD… I can't imagine ever doing something so crazy. Ugh. It isn't crazy I mean I do love her it's just…" he gave a big sigh knowing before-hand he wouldn't be able to explain this in his own words.
Tsuyoshi pulls out the little box and hands it to Akito, hoping he'll understand. Akito opens it and stares with his calm eyes, then returns it.
Ok I'm going to bed people, LOL it's 10:46… a.m.
AFTER MANY DAYS, I AM BACK!
"What's the big deal?" Akito finally looked him in the eye.
FALLS out of chair
"The b-big deal? Akito do you even know what that is!" he said bewilderedly.
"Tsuyoshi… just because it is a ring… doesn't mean it has to be about marriage. It's just as simple as telling her it's a regular ring, a regular gift, in fact it doesn't look like one if you stare at it in a different light."
"AKITO-KUN!" OO- Agh, you're not helping -OO
now confused "What?" takes sip of lemonade
"I-I think I want to use it AS an engagement ring!" I finally let it out!
Akito spits out all that he had been drinking and knocked over the pepper and salt shakers. There were so many panicked thoughts racing through his mind, even though his face showed he had regained his calm 'Akito look'. Thoughts like 'WHAT? Seriously?'; 'Will Aya keep him with her cookies forever?'; 'He's really fickle, is this for real?'; 'What would Sana look like in a bridal dress?'; 'I don't know if this is good or bad'.
All of these were thought and considered in a matter of moments.
Tsuyoshi stood up.
"I think I have to go," and rapidly dashes away.
Seconds later…
"I think I am going to throw up." Akito zoomed into the public bathroom.
DING-DONG! Akito had an idea. and it might not be pretty, I haven't decided
He took the path less taken on the way home to give him more time to consider about doing this or not. Although there were MANY reasons in the 'common sense' section of his brain not to do it, the welfare of his best friend was his priority right then. Akito took a small stop in a 7-11 type of store to buy something. Taking heavier slower steps… he started heading towards the only person he wanted to see, but could wait to see; Sana.
Her house seemed 10 times more intimidating then it ever had before. He couldn't do it anymore. He crept away in the opposite direction quietly as if the building would have heard him. Taking the shortest walk to his house possibly was his choice out of anger.
ok after all the blah-blah-blah's
Akito nearly collapses onto his bed, today was a real workout for the poor kid. He laid back to think of Sana some more. :.:I've been doing this for 6 years… haven't I had enough yet:.: A sudden impulse in his brain pictured Sana in nothing but a Long-sleeve white shirt that perfectly covered her underwear with that Sana smile on her face… Crawling onto his bed, with him. :.:No fucking way…:.: SO the thoughts (more pictures) persisted to torture him.
THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
THE KURATA'S
BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ "AH-ah-AH-ah-AHH!"
It was Sana's Burrucha, she held it up after it stopped vibrating to see that C was lit up and flashing. .+a message+.
She looks over the message and smiles.
C
Be over soon.
Then again, almost anything he does makes her smile. Also after that dream Tuesday night she had been longing for him. Getting ready and dressed today was more fun then it was on the sunniest of days. She finished prettying herself up just as she heard a rock hit her window. She nearly jumped out of it herself in happiness to her prince charming. GAG, did I type that…? ECK-yick-YUCK Yet, only a slight frown covered her face. It was Kisho.
She didn't really think much of the whole 'Kiss/tongue/grope' matter when she looked at him, Sana was mostly freaked out since he knew which bedroom was hers. In fact… did he watch her while she was getting ready for Akito?
.+No--! I must have been changing just recently+. already forgot
"Ki-K-Kisho… what a surprise.. How are you? What's going on I… How… How do you know where I live?" Ok, this is scary dude.
"Who doesn't?" A simple smile spread across her face.
.+that's true+.
"Could you come down for a bit?" He calls up to her.
"Uh.. well I was just about t…" defeat "Be right down…" sigh.
She whizzed down her stair case, around the many doors, through the back door, into the yard, and there he was. Sana then walked over to greet him.
"Hello Kisho, how are you today?" in her warm, fuzzy Sana kind of way.
"Sana… I couldn't stop thinking about you… after that commercial. Something about you just… draws me in." his voice growing more distant, more meaningful yet hard to hear.
nervous tone "Oh, Kisho…" .+I've felt like that before..+.
He weakly began to say "Sana… I was wondering…."
This was about when Akito spotted them from around the house after being informed she wasn't inside. Akito hid himself so he could have a chance to view the situation. He hated it but didn't want to miss it
"-if you would be the role of Akina, in the movie I am partaking in…" shuts his eyes out of worry to her response
Sana stared at him for a bit.
"Kisho, that would be lovely…" Her eyes glazed over staring him down.
:.:No.. heart stops:.:
"But there is already someone else filling in for that role and if go, I will be parted away from my friends and school. I just don't think I could do that. Maybe if you offered at the beginning of summer, but I am afraid my answer would have to be 'No'." Apologies are painful.
"Oh I knew it would be something like this…" his face held a pitiful smile now.
"Then why did you come here?" (already forgot about Akito)
"Because there ISN'T a girl for that role… she had to quit. I don't have the details but it seems the movie was going to get in the way of some important 'date' she had."
shrugs
"Odd… well I'm sorry Kisho but I am also pretty busy right now and I just don't think I could manage it." .+I lied..+.
"Please Sana! The producers are making an offer for you of about BLAH BLAH yen!"
about $200,000. I don't know how to do yen.
"and that doesn't even BEGIN to include who much money you could make is the movie is a HIT, which it would be…" pained expression "If YOU would play it!"
Akito chokes at this comment and is still undetected. Sana however doesn't treat it as a big deal, it's a lot of money, but she doesn't need it. The disappointment in Kisho's eyes seemed to bleed through his heart into hers. Sana could feel a little of her conscience giving in but then remembered who her co-star would have been. Giving a deep sigh, Kisho seemed to give up, then sparked up again.
"What if I told you… you wouldn't have to leave your school and friends to star in this movie? It would be just like starring in Child's Toy, I'm imagining, just come to the studio after school. The editors and whoever won't mind because we aren't in the movie that often!" pulls out a script "Here, I highlighted 'our' parts already for you." He was ecstatically hopeful this time around.
Sana looked over the script. It was about a story of two middle aged people that were fiancées. The woman in the script, Akina, was mentally ill and the man was frightfully in love with her, since it had an early 1820's theme to it with no medicines or therapists, he had to manage to get past his fears in and out of her condition. It just shows how their 'to be or not to be' marriage rolls out. However it included many scenes about how they fell in love in their youth. (AKA Sana and Kisho.) It was a very cute and tempting role in Sana's opinion.
"How can you… guarantee me that my school life would be left out of it." Then she frowned. Sana really wanted the role but even in her subconscious she couldn't 'betray' Akito like that… Akito… (!)
"So then you'll do it!" gives Sana a hard hug .+I never.. wait+.
"I never said that," it was kind of muffled since he was holding her so close.
She patted him on the back in response. eheheheh… ;;
pushes him away enough to breathe
"I'll call you when I come to my decision." Pant pant.
"OK! You have to have your mind made up by oh, say, a week from now? Oh thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you SO much Sana!" and he finally lets her go.
So then he leaves.
"Bye Kisho…" Really felt like a nap
Sana started to slowly walk back towards her house and turns the corner, not noticing Akito standing there. She starts to walk past him when he hooks her around the neck with his arm from behind, nearly making her fall into the wall but instead fell into him.
"AH! Ah, who-? Akito..!"
So she gave him a big bear hug while scolding him not to scare her anymore.
They return to the backyard to discuss some things on a bench in her mother's flower garden. Akito gave a deep sigh before saying what he had in mind.
"Well here I was about to ask you to marry me, and you go and get yourself engaged."
He's referring to how in the story she and Kisho are engaged
Sana just stared at him for a good long while… dumbstruck.
"Akito… I…" deeply blushes now take what you're imagining and make it redder
"AGH!" Akito panics "No, no, no don't actually ANSWER the question!"
Sana didn't understand and looked somewhat hurt.
"No.." Sigh "I just need to check what your reaction would be without the answer…" :.:I don't want to know THAT:.:
BIG HAMMPER KER-PLONK!
"AND JUST WHY WOULD YOU NEED TO CHECK THAT!" fume fume!
deserved it "Nothing personal… I mean between you and I. I was more just collecting information about how girls in general handle it…" Sana's anger rises "I wasn't going to do it I just accidentally let it slip, I'm sorry. I'm doing this for a friend…" :.:and she's not the target average girl, is she:.:
Sana's fire dissipated around her. She gave him a very calm look… as if she were about to say something. Suddenly despite the fact that she had many questions, weariness clouded her mind, she was tired as if she had been crying for a long time. She still looked beautiful from earlier, her hair was a little ruffled from that hug. Soon deciding to leave the questions for later, turned her back to Akito. She leaned back all the way so her head and neck were resting on his lap.
This surprised Akito a lot, though he didn't let it show. His heartbeat seemed to move to his legs and below his waist AND I DON'T MEAN WHAT YOU'RE THINKING His upper half completely froze, while not showing it the shock I mean He soon got over this too and started playing with her hair, loving her even a little bit more, if that's possible.
After an hour of NAPPING it was time to go, he slipped his right hand under her neck and arched her head in support, his left arm under her thighs, his hand wrapping itself right above her knee. He lifted her and brought her to her front door; it was 4:17 now. She was getting a little heavy heh so he let himself in and navigated himself to Sana's room without getting caught. He placed her down on her bed and accidentally positioned her to a very innocent pose. Something he wanted so much it hurt, the look on her face reminded him of the numerous times he dreamed of being in a position like this. It wasn't as satisfying because no matter how his dreams ended up, his real self couldn't bring it to himself to actually wake her; she wouldn't be smiling like his imagination liked to let him believe. :.:Hayama you idiot..:.: He had to do this.
He placed a soft kiss on her lips, then her forehead in utter affection. It was similar to that feeling when you get a new kitten that loves you and is sleeping; you adore almost everything about it. Except for this kitten was very intelligent, beautiful and when emotionally paying you back, satisfying. She was a very special girl, always there for him, to talk to him especially when he didn't want her to, when it counted the most.
He outreached his hand to her face, cupped it…, and then pushed away the hairs that were by her eyes. It was simply heartbreaking to leave her there… and even a little scary. It kind of made him feel that he was leaving her unprotected, it was very tense.
:.:Well, she has Mr. Sunglasses and it isn't a premonition like feeling. I just need to let it be, I cannot lower myself to being the needy one of the couple.:.:
pause
:.:It still feels kind of strange… "couple":.: happy sigh
The entire time Ms. Kurata had been watching him. Seeing him get up she hid away in another room across the hall. She watched him casually leave and couldn't let it end that way. Misako jumped out of the hallway closet Somehow in her little red car and caught up to Hayama, scooting away.
"Hayama-kun, itarashai!" Misako yelled gleefully!
"Actually I have been here for a while…" he stated at her stupidly.
"Good honest boy." slight tear of awe "Ahem, would you like to join… me for dinner, I'm very lonely you see." Ohho-ho-ho-ho-ho-!
"Sunglasses isn't here?" hope could be heard in his tone.
"No I'm afraid, still at the Hospital with Ms. Kurumi." She said blandly.
"I see." He replied blandly.
"So, will you join me?"
Not yet wishing to leave the warm home and family-like environment the Kurata home held, he gave an honorable nod and bow.
"Yes Ma'am, thank you."
Misako gave him a slight nod in respect. "Dinner will be ready in 20 minutes, you should call your father to inform him. Feel free to do whatever you wish in the meantime."
w;
So Akito called his dad.
"Hello, father?"
"Oh! Akito, really you should leave me more messages to inform that you were going to be home later, really."
"Natsumi get off the phone I have to talk to dad."
"He's not HERE; he already left on his business trip. You should have been here even if it was short notice to see him off!"
"I'm sorry." BLAND
"Also I'll have you know I'm not going to be home tonight! I wasn't counting on dad not being here and all but I can't change my plans. I might be home tomorrow night but not tonight… I have school plans. You'll need to find somewhere to stay tonight."
"Eh… Ah." what a drag "I'll see you tomorrow, Natsumi…"
Chuckle "Would it kill you to call me One-san every once in a while?"
"…" (..yes)
"Haha, see you Akito!"
"Ah."
Hanging up the phone, Akito walked downstairs, passing Sana's room. Dinner was beef teriyaki, shrimp tempura, gyoza, California rolls with a side of Misou soup and a bowl of rice. Though it wasn't his favorite thing, it was simply delicious because of the company around him. Ms. Misako and Ms. Shimura calmly eating and conversing on some thing related really to nothing. He enjoyed sitting and listening, like a little kid. Sana had seemed to have woken up at around 5:30 while they were getting close to desserts.
She stared at Hayama. Hayama noticing that sweet little shut eyed gaze she gave just many moments before was gone confused him. :are the two faces I'm seeing really from the same person:
"I see YOU missed me while I was asleep!" :.:Hey.. I really did….:.:
Yet he returns to his tempura. Not feeling like arguing on an empty stomach, Sana just decided to eat with them no questions asked.
"So Hayama-kun," Misako started. "What are your plans for this evening?"
looks up A light surprise is spread over his face. "I don't really have any… All I have to do is find out where to live tonight…" Not sounding too concerned.
Everyone but Hayama: Hmm?
Sana perked up "Hayama, were you kicked out again?" She was worried that his family's old habits might have returned, somehow.
"Oh, it's nothing in that matter. It's just my father and sister is out of town tonight because of some poor communication. So I have to find a place to stay."
:.:I can't face Tsuyoshi yet.. Fuuka, no. This is getting dumb:.:
"I think I will just go to my house tonight, regardless." Discussion over.
"Unthinkable!" Misako shouted out. "I think you will be staying here tonight, Sana is that alright with you?" Excitement was stitched into her lips and lathered over her voice as she said that, like it was her own sleepover.
"That's fine with me, mama!"
:.:No way…:.: blink blink He was taken aback from the families easy acceptance over someone like him staying here, especially since he was male!
Misako started again "Would that be alright with you, Hayama-kun?"
At that moment Hayama adored Misako, like a second mother. This whole thing, putting Sana aside, meant a lot to him, even if it wasn't much. He smiled on the inside and let it show in his eyes.
"Yes, Thank you, Kurata-san, I appreciate this." His expression softened more.
"YOSHA!" Hayama's expression turned to fear. "Let's go to the August firefly festival, family! Shall we? Ms. Shimura, will you be coming too?"
"Why, yes I think so, thank you Kurata-san!"
.+It's kind of funny how none of us here are related..+. Sana gleamed.
"August firefly festival?" Akito questioned.
"A fun get together festival, going there is a family tradition; we have to go every year before school starts, the only thing that's different is that Rei isn't here and sometimes Ms. Shimura is too busy." Sana Explained.
:.:Family Traditions… I don't have any do I:.:
"Sana, help him get prepared will you? He might fit into some of Rei's old things back when he was a lot skinnier."
"Hai! Mama."
Sana grabs Akito by the hand and literally pulled him (through the air) to Rei's room.
"What kind of weird stuff do I have to we—" Sana: not listening
"Isn't it great Hayama? It feels like you're finally really becoming part of the family!" Sana's face explodes with elation.
Akito: ka-thump big heartbeat
I haven't interfered with the story for a WHILE.. does this mean I am getting more professional? NOOOO ruin ruin ruin ruin
She ends up putting him into this blue shirted, light blue panted guy version of a kimono thing. He looks really spiffy in it someone tell me what they're called
well they kind of look like what the ppls in Inuyasha wear a lot. Except more fancy
With black walking sandals to boot. Akito didn't like it.
"Do I have to wear these ridiculous garbs?"
"Of course you do, it's tradition!" (that shuttimup) "Besides don't feel so bad I have to wear this stuff too!"
ON THE CONTRARY
Sana's outfit looked just kick ASS when she was done with hers. She wore a light pink and white checkered kimono with light purple lines going through the middle of all the white boxes and red flower prints inside all the pink boxes. She had a big red sash in the middle to keep everything together. Her hair was all in a bun that looking like it had been turned into a complex flower and smoothed upon her head. It still looked very nice; her hair was tied with a red ribbon. She looked absolutely astounding.
This, Akito took into account and shut the door behind him, locking them both in the room, practically attacking her with his kiss. She in every respect wanted him too so it was wonderful of him to be so impulsive. (they looked like they were eating each other's faces LOL) Okay don't ruin her make-up now
I put a lot of effort into that scene just so you know (and it was initially just for the humor but I am trying to get the point across that they are going to try and go really fast in this relationship… AND NOT HIT A CURB!)
She was passionately kissing him that matched the intensity of a blood lust in a monster to his prey. She was sitting towards him on his lap, her thighs wrapped around his waist. She slipped her tongue in to his mouth, letting him to the same, to explore the regions of their open maws (a synonym for mouth), tasting the saliva and sweat. They continued doing this for about another 8 more minutes in ANY positions you want to imagine then she placed her hands on his clothing, at the opening of his shirt as if to rip it apart. They both pulled apart right then and stopped, staring at each other in a surprisingly comfortable way. They both could cope with knowing they had gone far enough tonight. Still wrapped around him she seized his body in her grasp and he gave her a calm wrap back. They were both panting hard. Sana raised her head from being buried in his chest and then pecked him on the nose (also new!)
(Which kind of sounds like Hayama huh?)
god this scene is so hard to do
"You think you're ready to go yet?"
"I think I should give you your make up back.." he smiles before burying his head into the area between her neck and shoulder. what is that called?
AHA. Nuzzling!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh woooow too much fluffs and too many words. I'm so tired.. I think I yet again stayed up later then what is physically possible… YUCK.
Whatever it was fun writing. NO OUTLINES WOOOH I'M AN EFFING RETARD. I'm gonna get so screwed in the ass because of that, huh?
THAT'S OK BECAUSE I have my eyes to sleep with, excuse me…
HAHA RED HAIR GREEN EYES I TOLD YA I'D DO IT! MUAHA… no for chapter 5 TT
