A/N: All right, now I have everything planned for this fic, including the end, in which I'm both really excited and terrified to write and according to my plans, this will have either 9 or 10 chapters in max, just wanting to let you have an idea that this isn't going to be a long story, but no worries, I might or might not being already thinking on another Junni Taisen alternative universe that will also have mentions of romance (Torashi/Ushitora is already confirmed, xD) but as it will include all the 12 warriors, it won't be the center of the story but this is for later and I won't let out spoilers for it :P

- I will also try to make this fic my priority for now as I want to finish this before my inspiration goes away


The song that Kanae had set as her ringtone awoke the couple that was peacefully sleeping on the girl's bed, having spent the night in each other's arms and not wanting to let go anytime soon yet as the annoying sound continued, Kanae had no choice but to pick up the electronic to answer the call, trying her best to not sound upset for having her sleep ruined.

"Kanae, I need help." Ryoka immediately started, not even giving the sleepy Kanae start the conversation "I was thinking and I finally came out with a solution, I need to go out with you."

"Huh...?" Kanae rubbed her eyes with her free hand and turned around to see the clock that signalized the ten of the morning, feeling at the moment her boyfriend's arm around her waist to pull her closer to him "Look, I'm flattered and all but..."

"No, idiot! I meant that I need to go out with you and Eiji, it's the only way I can think I'll be able to be around that Dog guy and... " She stopped when hearing a strange sound, stopping hearing the other girl "Kanae?"

"Sorry, the phone slipped." She explained while getting up enough to be able to reach over to pick the phone from the floor and putting it against her ear again " So, basically, you want to go on a double date? But wait, didn't you two already went on one by yourselves? Why feeling so shy now?"

"I'm not feeling shy! I-I just... Just come on! It will be fun! And at that time it wasn't really a date, he just... Was passing by and things ended going the way they went, it was not a date."

"Sure..." Kanae yawned and felt the bed shifting, meaning that Eiji was getting up, not before feeling her boyfriend placing a kiss on her neck " When exactly do you want to have this date then...?"

"Well... This afternoon." Ryoka smiled on the other side while Kanae stared at the wall, not believing her ears.

"What?! Ryoka, you're kidding right?" The ginger-haired asked a little louder than needed, making Eiji look at her concerned while buttoning his shirt.

"Nope~ You're the best! See you at three in the park, laterz"

"Ryoka!" She called out, yet it didn't even reach Ryoka's ears as the call was ended by the other side of the line "Are you serious? I just wanted to spend the day cuddling with my boyfriend"

Kanae pouted and grabbed the closest pillow, hugging it against her chest before letting her body fall to the side. She doesn't move even when hearing steps coming towards her and feels more pressure on the mattress, along with fingers gently petting her hair and rubbing her cheek softly, causing her to smile and calm down a little.

They spent a good while in silence until Eiji felt that Kanae had her time to relax "I'm taking we have plans for today?"

She sighed and got up, sitting on the bed in front of him, her night top had one of the straps falling on her shoulder before she fixed it "That idiot... I didn't even have time to say that we couldn't go... Can I pretend to be sick and I need you to be here to take care of me?"

Her hands softly grabbed Eiji's shirt and pulled him to her, making it possible for her to kiss the corner of his lips, smiling when feeling his arms wrapping themselves on her waist and pulling her to his lap "That is not correct Kanae... She must really need your help, and you know, there's nothing to lose in going."

Kanae hummed, even if she wasn't really convinced and feeling Eiji's hands traveling the exposed skin of her legs made the offer even harder to accept "I guess... But I still wanted to spend the day in bed with you..."

"Such a needy kitten..." Eiji teased her, turning his face to make his lips meet hers in a quick, teasing kiss "We still have a few hours, don't we? Shouldn't we just enjoy that time?"

She smirked and returned his kiss with another one of her own, only for then having the hands on his chest to push him in order to make him lay down on the bed "Alright, let's make it count"

Purring, Kanae lowered herself to lay down on top of her boyfriend, her lips locking with his as the two forgot about the time they had and rather, just focused on the moment.


"so... "Kanae started after the four of them having arrived at the combined spot, taking in the small occasional festival that had been settled on the central park " A carnival? Really...? It's been a while since I've come to one..."

"Isn't it going to be fun?" Ryoka smiled, excited for the evening but out of the other three, only Kanae seemed to share almost half of her excitement.

"Isn't this supposed to be for kids?" Michio mumbled, not really showing any excitement over the idea yet it didn't seem like he was bored or annoyed by it so it was a good start for Ryoka.

"Stop being party-poopers!" The green-haired pouted and, with an incredible strength that surprised all of them, managed to drag the other three to the carnival.

Fair to her words, the idea had been indeed fun, even if Kanae and Michio had a few discussions about the rides to go that was almost resembled fights between cats and dogs, in the end, the four had managed to get along.

The group only separated for brief minutes as Ryoka and Michio went to grab food, having the girl saying she would pay for them since it had been her idea to drag them to the carnival, in the meanwhile Eiji and Kanae tried one more activity, where they ended coming out with a tiger and an ox plushies.

"So, was coming such a bad idea?" Eiji asked his girlfriend, mockery fully present on his face as he saw how pleased Kanae was while hugging her new plushies.

The teasing tone only caused her to pout for a few seconds before her smile took over again "Alright... It wasn't all that bad. You also seem to be having fun, the thing is that I never imagined yourself in a place like this."

"And I guess you know me. This is actually the first time I've ever been to a carnival festival... I never had any interest in coming as it wasn't school related." He stated bluntly, even if Kanae had already her theories that it was a possible scenario. "But yes, this is actually fun."

"I'm glad you're liking it... Maybe we could come another time, just the two of us?" She hugged the two plushies with one single arm as she linked the other with her boyfriend's, rubbing her cheek against his arm.

"I thought you preferred to stay at home?" He teased her once again, earning a light pushing as a warning "If you want to return, I don't see why not."

Kanae then stopped walking when noticing one particular thing, and Eiji could only be dragged by her as she made her way towards a strange looking, random booth that was somewhat hidden beside one of the rides.

"Let me guess." Kanae started when seeing the confused expression that was exposed on Eiji's face "You never used a photo booth."

"A photo what?"

She sighed and just pulled him inside, closing the curtains behind her while Eiji analyzed the machine he was in: it was small, with a bench and in front of it there were a small screen and some buttons, along with a money charger.

Kanae briefly explained that it was a machine that took photos as if Eiji didn't understand by the name, but that didn't prepare him for anything as he ended up staying with his typical neutral face expression in the first photos, what made Kanae poke his cheek "Hey, can you show some proof you're a human being?"

He looked at her and smirked lightly when grabbing her chin toward him, watching as her cheeks turned pink and how her mouth was light open, completely ignoring the sound that the machine made whenever taking another photo.

The student council president lowered himself and Kanae leaned in until their lips met in a sweet and chaste kiss. The kiss had been short, only lasting a few seconds before Eiji parting his lips away yet he still could feel Kanae's lips barely touching his due to the proximity.

Using his arm to pull the girl closer and the other to rest his hand on her cheek as he kissed her once more, now more fiercely and, with a purr, being answered in the same way. As their tongues battled for dominance between their mouths, Kanae had been pulled to ending up sitting on her boyfriend's lap, both of them losing themselves in the moment.

"I'm really getting concerned over the fact that it's getting harder and harder to keep my hands away from you..." Eiji panted lightly when they broke the kiss, watching the smirk on his girlfriend's face.

"Eiji..." She lowered herself at his neck's level, where she started making a trail of butterfly kisses all the way to reach his earlobe, before she whispered in his ear "Too bad you convinced me to come, even if this is fun, there would be no need for you to restrain yourself if we had stood by my place."

Kanae then placed one last quick kiss on his lips before getting up, picking up her plushies that had fallen to the ground in the heat of the moment and walking to grab the photos "C'mon, the other two will wonder where we are."

A little unwillingly, Eiji just followed her, resisting the urge to just pull her to a corner and forget about the date, after all, it had been his idea to make Kanae agree on the proposal and as such, he couldn't back down.

It had taken a while but they eventually found the other two, still waiting in a long line for a particular candy that Ryoka insisted she wasn't going anywhere without it.

Kanae always had a sensitive hearing and it was times like those she hated having such ability. She even took sideways glances, trying to ignore the low yet annoying blabbermouths that had~been, as Kanae had noticed for a while, staring at Eiji but they were simply driving her mad.

"Eiji, carry me... " Kanae tugged on her boyfriend's sleeve while whispering, making him look down to her to find her looking up with pleading eyes "My legs are still a little sore from the productive morning..."

He sighed and turned around, making possible for Kanae to see the ends of his ears a tinge of red what made her smirk, before kneeling down for her to jump on his back, which she happily did.

"Well... We could just go find somewhere to rest and eat. I think we already went on everything that there was..." Michio thought out loud as it was Ryoka's turn to order.

"Finally a good idea coming from you." Kanae couldn't help but muttered, thankfully, either only Eiji was able to reply or Michio had ignored her otherwise another battle was going to start between them.


"You know... Part of me didn't really think you would accept my invitation..." Ryoka muttered to Michio, being the only present as the other couple was a little more away from them after they had finished eating in another part of the park where it was more empty and calm, just spending the last moments of their double date in peace.

"That was why you asked those two to come?"

The green haired nodded and pulled her legs close to her chest, hugging them to keep them in place "yeah... Even if it seemed they were on their own world..."

The two turned slightly to see how the other couple was laying down on the soft grass while staring at the sky. Kanae's head was resting on Eiji's chest while she was holding close the tiger and the ox plushies she had gathered through the day and Eiji gently combed his girlfriend's short and wild hair as he looked deep in thought at the sky.

"Well... They were still a good company. And better them than the twins." Michio scoffed but a cough made them turn around to their original position, for brief seconds noticing the origin of the sound before one of the figures sat exactly in between the two.

"Should we be offended?" The older Tatsumi asked, taking the pack of chips that was on top of the blanket that they ate on "Oh, food."

In the meanwhile, the younger Tatsumi laid next to Kanae and Eiji, what made both of them look at him "Oi! Did we interrupted the lovebirds?"

"Aren't you two already known to be the cockblockers?" Kanae smirked, deciding to tease back the twin, who puffed out his chest with fake pride.

"Damn right you are, and so we have a reputation to keep."

"So, since you can't keep anyone with you for more than a week you feel content in ruining other's dates. " Eiji commented as if he had given the thought much attention "I would recommend you taking notes, maybe one day you'll be able to have a relationship with someone."

"Geez, a guy comes in peace and this is how he gets treated? Hey bro, it seems we're not welcomed here." Takeyasu pouts and gets up, even if the couple laying on the floor also did the same, having the peaceful mood ruined.

"There you two are! " A new yet familiar voice called out before two more figures appeared, Misaki then continued talking, giving priority of her attention to her friends rather than those two she had been looking "Oh, Ryoka, Kanae are you two here too? This is such an amazing coincidence"

"Did you two came with these guys?" Kanae smiled at the girl, grabbing her boyfriend's arm in a hug, who just smiled lightly at the gesture "Don't you tell me you're also on a date?"

"There's no way I'd be on a date with any of those two." Toshiko immediately replied her tone cold and even with a hint of someone that had been insulted.

"I have a boyfriend..." Misaki replied after the heiress, careful with her words to not hurt anyone after hearing the discussion the couples had with the twins "But I'm sure they'll find someone someday. We just happened to meet at the carnival."

"See? A kind soul that understands us." The elder twin moved from the place he was in to kneel in front of Misaki, bowing down to her in respect.

Despite Misaki's nervous and surprised expression at the twins (because Takeyasu took the lead of his brother and repeated his actions), Toshiko still huffed at their childish behavior "Either way, they can always stick together forever. That's a good point for having a twin as idiotic as the other."

Takeyasu simply ignored the insult and continued speaking "Hey! I had an idea! Since we're all here, what about we go back to the apartment and have some drinks?"

"Alcohol is bad for your wealth." Eiji immediately replied, not being at all a fan of alcohol for obvious reasons.

"Aww come on, council president, chill out a bit. You graduate in less than a month, live a little" The elder twin tried to pursue the stubborn Eiji, even knowing it was practically an impossible mission unless...

Eiji feels Kanae's hand grabbing his own and giving it a soft squeeze "You know, he's actually right Eiji. It's not one drink that will ruin you, also we'll be in your own place so we can just pass out there in the worst scenario."

The stoic student looked down on her, sighing when seeing those silent pleading eyes but looked at the twins with the most serious expression he could "Alright, yet, you two are in charge of cleaning everything after."

"Party!" The two cheered, causing all sorts of emotions to those around them: excitement for the drinks, fear for the apartment, the boredom of the one that wanted to go home, tired from the childish twins, and confusion from those that didn't know exactly when their date was finished.


The party was, as Eiji was already predicting, an utter chaos. Half of the furniture was on the floor, the music was at the louder that the speakers could handle, there were bottles all around the apartment and he was surprised at how was possible that the window's glass was still intact even with some intense karaoke battle that, mixed with alcohol, was more shouts and yells battles than songs themselves.

He wasn't sure if he should sigh, laugh or be annoyed by all the types of drunk there were in the room. To starters, Michio, who like Eiji wasn't also a fan of alcohol, was trying to handle a somewhat emotional Ryoka that kept insisting she wanted to, randomly, play checkers; the twins were hard to say if they were drunk or just being themselves as they were literally screaming at the television the most random things they could think of, like "if I had a lighter I would burn this thing." or in the elder's case "Oh yeah? If I could I would freeze all this and then I would get chips."

Toshiko was the more reserved one, she somehow still managed to keep her class even as she drunk, she wasn't doing anything in particular yet as she talked with a cheerful Misaki that had, perhaps also had drunk a few more drink that she could handle for her sanity, it seemed like she was also talking about the most random things he'd ever heard her say, just hearing something of the sorts "Why do the clouds look like sheeps? Wouldn't it be better if they looked like boars?"

Then Misaki would laugh and comment something, possibly to try to not let the other girl just talking to herself, but even if Eiji wanted to hear what his drunk companions had to say - in which he didn't really care- it was impossible as he tried to keep his girlfriend in control as the girl seemed to be constantly throwing not so innocent remarks while trying to take off her clothes, muttering it was too hot, what made Eiji constantly being dressing her up.

By the time Eiji and Michio managed to take care of the situation, lowering the radio, the tv and managing to sober the others a little, it was already too late to force the rest to leave the apartment what made them take precaution for all of them to sleep there.

At first, Nagayuki offered the twin's room for the girls to sleep while the two of them would sleep on the living room, saying that he preferred to stay with his brother - who was (supposedly) passed out on the floor in the middle of the room- but he quickly heard his twin muttering "Wait, we have four girls sleeping in our beds and we're sleeping here? What the hell? I also want to join!"

Either way, as they had no other choice, they ended up accepting the offer but it didn't take too long for Kanae to sneak up to her boyfriend's bedroom so only the other three girls had to share the two beds, that they ended joining to have a bigger bed.

Maybe her date didn't exactly turn out the way Ryoka expect but if she was honest, it actually ended up being even better than she could even think of.
