A/N: Hi, again! Long explanation short, thank you for all the reviews. I really appreciate them! This chapter, I took some of the dares and added them in. Please follow, favorite, and review for more.
Satoshi silently cleared his throat. Yoshiki did some practice strings before playing the actual song. (Out of request, the song, of which I DO NOT OWN, will be "She Will Be Loved" by Maroon 5- Please check Author's Note below.) Satoshi picked up the song book and read the first few lyrics. The blonde patted the beats on his guitar.
"Beauty queen of only eighteen- she had some trouble with herself." Naomi and Ayumi were both in shock. His voice was so sweet and calming. Yoshiki's playing was so accurate. They imagined them to be playing around, but they actually made a wonderful duo. Satoshi continued on, his notes becoming stronger. Ayumi got closer to the instrumentalist, wanting to listen closer to his beautiful playing. Taking in all the music, she rested her head on his shoulder. He almost stopped, becoming much more nervous with her so close. "I don't mind spendin' everyday... Out on your corner in the pouring rain. Look for the girl with the broken smile- ask her if she'd want to stay awhile." A strong flick across the strings. "And she will be loved..." Satoshi kept his eyes on Naomi, smiling whenever Yoshiki took a second to strum after a verse. They finished the song after a minute or two, the girls at a loss for words. Yoshiki made no attempt in moving, as Ayumi still rested her head upon his shoulder. Suspecting she had fallen asleep, they were careful not to wake her.
"Satoshi... You're a great singer. Naomi whispered. He grinned, moving to her side.
"Nothing special, really..." Satoshi rubbed the back of his neck, trying to be modest.
"You are!" She paused, allowing herself to lean on him. "It almost sounded rehearsed..." Satoshi wrapped his arm around her.
"What if it was?" Naomi perked up, jumping at his words.
"Wha... What?" Satoshi drew in a breath, holding her closer.
"Maybe I practiced that song with Yoshiki so we could sing it to someone special..." He snuck his head closer to her ear. "Na-o-mi." Satoshi whispered, beaming in a mocking way. She giggled, playfully pushing him.
"You didn't... D-Did you?" Naomi didn't know what to believe.
"... Yeah... We did." He didn't seem very nervous to confess. Naomi maneuvered her head so she could stare at him. "Shinozaki's special to Yoshiki, but you're special to me." He softly spoke. Both of their cheeks were glowing. Before anything else could progress, they heard rustling beside them.
"Shinozaki's asleep... I'll just put her in my room if you two are gonna make out."
"What?! Yoshiki, why wou-"
"Dude, chill. I'll leave you guys alone, too." And with that, the two were off in the bedroom. Yoshiki carried the smaller teen over to the bed, placing her onto the closest side. He wrapped the covers around her body and sat on the other half she didn't take up. Out of urge, Yoshiki leaned closer, placing a kiss on her head. Suddenly, arms wrapped around him. Shocked, he pulled away, finding that Ayumi had awaken.
"What's wrong?" She drowsily asked. Silence. "Kishinuma-kun?"
"Uh, y-yes?"
"You kissed me." He felt himself getting warmer. Stuttering, Yoshiki couldn't get any words out. She giggled. "It's... okay. I... don't... mind..." Her voice was too muffled by the pillows she curled into. Yoshiki sighed, again leaning closer. He placed another kiss on her temple before rolling off of the bed. "Stay... with... me..." She mumbled. A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth as he sat beside her.
Naomi and Satoshi had made their way onto Yoshiki's couch, the smaller of them leaned against the other.
"Naomi..." He whispered, bringing her closer. "You'll will always be loved..." Satoshi pecked her cheek. Naomi wrapped her arms tightly around him, burying her face in his chest.
"You will, too..." Raising her head to kiss his jawline. He stroked her hair, relaxing a bit more. He felt something inside of the pillow cover, so he took his arm from her back and rummaged behind him.
"Our... our phones!" He exclaimed. Naomi's eyes opened, sitting up as she rubbed them. "They were in the pillow cover!"
"Oh, that sneaky Shinozaki..." She laughed, but then thought for a moment. "... Satoshi?"
"Yeah?"
"Can I use my phone real quick?"
"Oh, sure!" He handed her the cell. She texted someone and stuck it back into the cover.
"I'm staying over at a friend's tonight." She grinned. He chuckled and messed with her hair.
"So, we never found our phones?" He asked.
"What phones? Where are they?" Satoshi and Naomi both laughed to themselves. Not long after she nuzzled herself next into him, Naomi fell asleep. Satoshi allowed himself room so he could slip away, undetected, to go over to Yoshiki's room. He slowly pushed open the door, remembering that Ayumi was asleep.
"Hey, Yoshiki, Naomi and I-" He peered in, finding the two of them, mid slumber, in each other's arms. Satoshi chuckled and closed the door, not wanting to disturb them. He crept back to the couch, returning to Naomi. She had fallen back onto the other seats, grasping herself. Thinking she was cold, Satoshi picked her up from the side, cradling her in his arms. He sat back onto the sofa, loosening the grip on her legs. Satoshi had placed her in a position next to him to keep her from loosing too much body heat. He cocked his head to the side and rested it on top of hers. Although he wasn't lying on his back or on an actual bed, he found himself having the best sleep ever.
"Hey, you two! You hungry?" Voices called from afar. Ayumi groggily looked up, seeing Naomi and Satoshi in the doorway, holding spatulas and spoons. Satoshi had smears of some kind of dried batter all over his face and clothes. Naomi, on the other hand, only looked like she had just woken up. If they did cook together, Satoshi probably spilled a few things. "We made some pancakes. Come join us when you're ready to eat!"
"Okay... Thanks." Ayumi smiled. The two at the door closed it, leaving it just she and Yoshiki, again. "Kishinuma-kun?" She placed her hand on his arm and shook him. The last thing she remembered from last night was feeling... much warmer. He probably had his arm around her, and they broke from their gentle embrace.
"Mm... G-Good morning." He croaked, sitting up and running his hands through his bleach-blonde hair. Ayumi giggled, remembering he had done her hair last evening. She grabbed his hand and smiled.
"Don't worry- you look fabulous." The smaller teenager reassured the other. Yoshiki softly chuckled, hopping off the side of his bed.
"Why, thanks."
"Heh... yeah." She swung her legs over the side, stretching as she yawned. The light from the window blinded her, so she quickly got to her feet and moved away from it. "Nakashima-san and Mochida-kun made breakfast, apparently. That's was nice, huh?"
"What?"
"I mean, getting up and then making breakfast for everyone! Sweet, right?"
"Sure, but I don't think they made breakfast right after they got up. I heard some crashing out there- who knows what they were doing." He laughed. Ayumi walked towards the door, her clothes bedraggled. After Yoshiki finished brushing his hair, he joined her, stepping out of his room.
"Damn, Satoshi! Don't try and kiss me with so much batter on your face! I don't want any on mine!" Naomi cried, running around the couch as Satoshi chased her. He pouted, catching her in his arms by running the other way.
"Aw, not even just a little?" He laughed. She playfully squirmed, kicking her legs.
"What do we have here?" Ayumi grinned. "Say, are you two a couple?" Satoshi blushed. He didn't know how to respond. Obviously he really cared for her and wouldn't mind at all if they were in a relationship, but he wasn't one to decide that... right? Naomi jumped from his arms to face him. Staring at her, he took in all of her beauty, inside and out, giving him the courage to speak.
"I guess it's time to find out... Naomi Nakashima, may I be referred to as your boyfriend?" Satoshi smiled, his face stinging with heat. He wasn't sure if he was rushing this or was already quite late. She was taken aback by his sudden request, but wasted no time to leap at him, catching the other in an embrace.
"Y-yes! Y-You may!" She squealed. He laughed and wrapped his arms around her.
"Congrats, man!" Yoshiki beamed, having made his way closer to them. Receiving a slap on the back, Satoshi almost couldn't thank him, the breath abruptly leaving him at impact. He smiled, turning towards his best friend.
"Nakashima-san, how wonderful!" Ayumi was quite surprised to hear herself saying that, considering she had a crush on Satoshi... or did she? She knew she used to, but maybe something changed... What had happened to make her so calm about this?
A/N: (Continuation from start of chapter:) I didn't put too many verses in because I didn't want to get hassled for copyright. (Comments:) Thank you so much for reading!
