The following Sunday...

"Hiragi-kun...why are you here?" Otori asks as he was waiting for his kohai. Adjusting his glasses, Hiragi asks, "Is it true? You two are coming to the training camp?" Otori responds with a smile, "Yeah..more like, Hoshitani was so excited about it, that I couldn't say no." Hiragi smiles at that, a small smile, but still a smile. "By the way, I... I told him about what happened between us. I told him everything," Otori says, unsure of Hiragi's response. Hiragi was just shocked, "Why?" "I don't know. I guess I just needed to vent," Otori replies, a smile on his face. Hiragi just stares at him before he hears someone yelling, "Itsuki-senpai!"

Looking towards the noise, the two see Hoshitani running towards them. "Ah.. You didn't tell me we had company, Otori-senpai," Hoshitani says, blushing slightly. Hiragi was shocked even more, "You're on a first name basis with him?" Sighing, Otori replies, "Yeah. Both Yuta and I agreed to it." Yuta asks, "Can you not tell the others about this?" Hiragi just nods. "Thanks, Hiragi-senpai!" Yuta says smiling, causing Hiragi to blush a bit at being called 'senpai.' Smiling, Itsuki declares that it's time for practice.

All the while, Hiragi watches them practice before Hoshitani comes over to him, and pulls him into practicing with them. Hiragi was shocked at first, but smiles as he dances with them. Then, they take a five-minute break, Yuta getting drinks from the vending machines as Itsuki and Hiragi watch him from a distance. "He's certainly energetic, huh?" Hiragi says. Smiling, Otori says, "Yeah. But that's one of the reasons why I like him."

Raising an eyebrow, Hiragi asks, "You 'like' him, huh?" Blushing slightly at what he just said, "Y-yeah. He's my student and my friend. Of course I like him." 'Although, I don't know how much I 'like' him.' "Is that so?" Hiragi says, glasses flashing, smiling a bit. 'He definitely 'likes' him a lot.' Then, Yuta returns with the drinks, cutting the conversation short, "I brought the drinks!" Blinking, he asks, "What were you guys talking about?" "Uh..just about how you're my responsibility at the training camp is all," Otori says, trying to change the subject. Hoshitani looks to Hiragi for confirmation. Hiragi nods. "OK!" Then, they continued with practice until it was time to go home.

On the way home, walking side-by-side, Otori reminds Hoshitani, "You'll do all your homework before the camp, right?" Hoshitani pauses, then answers, "O-of course! Don't you trust me enough to do that?" Otori replies, "Of course I trust you. But I know you well enough now that I know you tend to forget things, like doing your homework, when you get excited about something." Blushing, Hoshitani retorts, "I-I do not!" Otori just looks at him with a fierce expression in his eyes. Buckling under his gaze, Hoshitani stutters, "O-OK. Maybe I do. But, I promise I'll do all my homework, OK!" Smiling in triumph, Otori pats Hoshitani's head, Hoshitani pouting as he does. Hiragi was just watching their interaction with mild amusement.

Dropping Hoshitani off at the station and waving goodbye, Otori and Hiragi walk back to Ayanagi together. "By the way, where's the training camp again?" Otori asks Hiragi. Hiragi says, "It's at our summer house." "Really?" Otori asks, thinking about how Yuta and animals don't exactly mix well. "Yeah," Hiragi replies, "Do you really trust him?" Blinking, Otori responds, "Yeah. He's not the type to say anything about that kind of thing without permission." Hiragi nods. They separate when they head to their rooms, "I guess I'll see you tomorrow then?" "Yeah." They both go into their respective rooms.

Working furiously on homework, Yuta thinks to himself, 'What were they actually talking about? It couldn't have been me, could it? Even so, I have to finish this first.' Once completely done with his homework, Yuta lays down in bed, his mind exhausted, but wandering off somewhere, 'I can't wait for tomorrow!' He falls asleep fairly quickly.

Meanwhile, Itsuki was laying in bed, thinking, 'Did Hiragi notice how much I like him? ...Nah. He couldn't have..could he?' He shakes his head. 'Still, there're bears in the area, and maybe mice in the house. Yuta will probably get scared and hide behind me.' Sighing, 'I guess I have to protect him then. Not that I actually mind.' Yawning, 'I can't wait for tomorrow.' He falls asleep just as quickly.
