A repeated knock on the door was heeded all over the house of Narumi's. A black-haired woman runs hastily towards the banging door.

"OK, Ok, just wait a minute." She yelled.

As she unlocked the door, two teens, a boy and a girl stood straight in front of her.

"OH Ayumu, Hiyono-chan! Welcome back! Come inside now and thanks for your work!" the older woman gladly welcomed them.

"I can see that you two were so into each other while shopping huh." The owner of the house entered the scene. "You're even holding hands up until now." And he smiled broadly at the 2.

"Oh you're right! Did you two have fun?" Madoka added.

Hiyono was taken aback and a big question mark appeared in her sight. Then she realized that they really we're still holding each other's hand. And because of that, she immediately pulled her hands out of Ayumu's hand. 'Oh no! Have we been like this since we got out of the house and all the way to the shop? And why did neither of us even noted that?' Hiyono thought while getting dizzy because of the slight heat she felt in her cheeks and the numbers of question marks and exclamation point that's been lingering around her head.

Ayumu noticed Hiyono's flustered countenance. And, yeah right, even if he doesn't expose it, he really thinks that Hiyono is very cute when she's blushing. Never once did he even think that, this girl could make such a dainty expression. And it makes him want to tease her more. He put himself beside the braided girl and holds her head and put it on his broad shoulder and also, he deviated his head towards Hiyono while looking straight at his brother and his sis-in-law.

"Ofcourse. We even ate a cake for free and it's really delicious. And we really enjoyed it, right?" he even put a stressed on the word 'enjoyed' to make Hiyono remember. Sly Ayumu! Then he looked at Hiyono while smirking. And the girl blushed in anger and embarrassed way again. "Huh, ah! What… are you-!"

"Haaaa!" Madoka screamed. 'Why is my heart beating so fast? Is this because of Ayumu and Hiyono-chan? Oh God! Oh God! It's like I'm watching a romance movie!" she thought while her hands are on her pinkish cheeks while looking at the 2 w/ wide eyes and open-mouthed front. "Kiyotaka!" she glared at her husband "I want a camera now."

The man sighed, "I say, you have to wait for now, we don't have it." And his wife pouted.

…***…

Then comes the time for one of their favourite past time, dinner of course! The two girls' hungry stomach was now growling loudly that even the two guys in the house heard it so clearly.

"Uh geez, hehe, sorry.." Hiyono giggled in embarrassment.

"You felt ashamed for the first time?" Ayumu asked sarcastically. And of course, in order to not let her mood be ruined by him again, she just ignored his mocking to her.

….

"Now tell me, what happened between the two of you while you're out there shopping?" Madoka asked of nowhere to break the ice mongst them.

Hiyono was taken aback by Madoka's sudden interrogations "… Uh, nothing much.. why do you ask?"

"Hmm, really? But I sensed that something cheezy really happened…"

"You? A slow woman sensed? Pfft!" Ayumu hold his laughter.

"Don't underestimate me Ayumu! I have known from the looks on your faces when you got home! Hiyono-chan was umm, well a slight red color was drawn in her cheeks so that makes her blushing! And you were grinning!.."

"What? I was? You must be mistaken Onee-san. Why would I blush in the first place anyway?" the honey-haired rolled her eyes.

"Yeah I wonder why too." The brunette guy gave her a beaming look. This made Hiyono mad and her face had gotten redder and her ears are emitting heat gasses.

"That's what I'm saying! Something really happened!" the older woman stamped her foot.

"Now, now, Madoka, don't put your nose too much on that matter for now.." the other Narumi guy whispered softly to Madoka. And just from looking at her husband's eyes, she quickly got what he was trying to convey to her. Then she replied him with a nod.

After their dinner…

'What's with Ayumu today? Does he enjoy teasing me that much?! What he did to me in the store was completely unforgivable!' The lass with a honey locks thought while her veins were about to pop from her temples. She then decided to cool her head off in her room's balcony…

She opened the white curtain with pink spiral designs in it revealing the magnificent scenery of the night outside her room. She then opened the glass door. Fresh cold air welcomed her while caressing her delicate pale skin. She slowly inhaled the gushing wind while she's feeling its coldness going down her pipe. Then the radiant starry sky absorbed her eye's attention. It's like the view on the Milky Way. Full of fascinating shimmering stars.

"…pretty…" was the only word she managed to utter.

At the same time, on the other room.. the bishounen guy too was in his deep thoughts.

Don't try deducing it though; you'll just distress yourself by doing so. No one has the knowledge on what's in this guy's mind anyways.

Ayumu was buried on his bed with his two hands at the back of his head while looking at the ceiling. He then gathered himself to take in some fresh air. He lazily got up from his slumber and go straight to his room's balcony. When he was about to open the glass door, he saw Hiyono was there standing while gazing at the vast sky.

For all your knowing, Hiyono and Ayumu's balcony are just one so every time they enter their balcony, whether they like it or not, they will have to face each other.

He just then settled himself side by side the glass door and look fixedly at the girl. Evidently, he can clearly see the lass' countenance loaded of uncertain emotions while harnessing a serious yet tender façade whilst skimming through at the dazzling stars of the night.

On the spur of the moment, mild frigid winds pass by causing the girl's hair to waver. She tried to catch some of her hair's strands that's covering her dainty face and gently put it behind her left ears.

'She looks more normal when she lets her hair down.' As usual, Ayumu thinks sarcastically about her. But even though, he's like this towards her, there's an unexplainable restrained emotion deep inside him that he feels towards her.

After a few minutes of observing her, he finally opened the glass door that's been on his way to the balcony.

So then, the sound of the opening door startled the girl, making her gasp in surprise and breaking her chain of thoughts. She looked at the direction where the sound came from and she saw the chocolate colored hair lad walking towards her.

"A-Ayumu?! What are you doing here?" She looks so puzzled and Ayumu can't help but to think that Hiyono's expression just now is priceless. He wants to laugh at her, but then, he didn't.

"You really didn't know or are you just plain stupid? Our room's balcony is just one." Ayumu said apathetically.

"What? Madoka-neechan never mentioned this to me. Maybe I'm just plainly unlucky." Hiyono managed to get back at Ayumu's words at her. Great achievement Hiyono.

Ayumu's temple twitched when he heard that. Because he knows that what Hiyono means is that she is unlucky because whenever she wants to enter this balcony, she'll have to see his face.

And he's somewhat mad because of what Hiyono said.

He cornered her on the balcony's stone railing. Sealing her two hands in his own hands. Gripping it hard and tight making her twitched. He then put his head closer to hers, while looking at her w/ an expressionless face. His eyes examining her face and not long, Ayumu, slowly let his lips touch Hiyono's nose. This made the girl gasp "Na, nani-!"

Ayumu then cut her words by completely kissing her cute nose. He then looked at her w/ a complacent look. He smirked, let go of her hands and leaving the balcony and the girl alone.

Hiyono, didn't know what just happened. It happened so quickly. And by the time, she finally realizes, it was her defeat again. That guy managed to kiss her nose again! He really enjoys torturing her.

And as for Ayumu, he's satisfied with himself again.
