Date: April 21

You woke up groggily and shut your alarm clock off. Studying last night resulted in you going to sleep late and you were still tired. You were tempted to sleep for another few minutes, before Nanako gently knocked on your door.

"Breakfast is ready…" She said quietly and you knew you had to get up. Today was Thursday, so you could always go to [sport] practice today, then you remembered that you promised to help Kou with his basketball team. You might as well help him out today. You got dressed, then made your way down the steps. Dojima wasn't there, as usual, and Nanako greeted you kindly with a plate of food and a small lunchbox with yesterday's dinner in it. You thanked her kindly and sat down to eat. You felt your phone vibrate in your pocket and opened it up.

"Hey, It's Kou! Practice is today, you coming?" It read. You chuckled, you'd already planned to help the boy it was almost weird that he seemed to text you right at that moment.

"Sure Kou-kun, I'll be there." You replied.

"Promise…? No running off with Yosuke?" He asked and you chuckled, sometimes he was like a child; it was kinda cute.

"I promise. I wont 'run off' with Yosuke-kun." You answered.

"Great! See you then!"

Breakfast went by quickly as Nanako talked about how she got an A on her project and a few other things she'd done in school. As you made your way toward the door, you saw that it was raining. A bit of worry set in the pit of your stomach, but you tried to convince yourself that you'd rescued Yukiko and everything would be fine. You grabbed your umbrella and made your way toward Yasogami High.

"The weather lady said it's not going to rain all day, I think I'm going to do some laundry when I come home." Nanako said with a smile. This made you feel a bit better you didn't want the fog to set in so quickly. You said 'goodbye' to Nanako as she split up with you to continue onto her class. You smiled as you approached 'Yosuke's trashcans' as always and saw him there waiting for you.

"Ah, [y/n] move over!" Someone yelled dashing under your umbrella.

"Man Chie, you never remember your umbrella." Yosuke said snickering.

"Hey! I'm sorry! My dog chewed up mine, what was I supposed to do?" She asked pouting.

"Buy a new one at Junes." You and Yosuke said and Chie blinked.

"Huh… I guess I could've done that, heehee." She said and you and Yosuke shook your eyes. 'Typical Chie….' You thought.

The three of you made your way inside and toward your homeroom classes.

"So, Chie, how's Yukiko-san?" Yosuke asked, since Chie had stayed with her yesterday instead of going to school.

"Oh, she's okay," Chie said. "She's still really tired though and can't remember anything. She should be able to come to school soon though." You nodded. You were relieved that she was feeling better.

"I can't believe someone is throwing people into the TV…" You said sighing softly. Yosuke nodded.

"Yeah seriously, we've gotta put a stop to this." He said smiling lightly at you. "I know we can do it." You nodded slightly and Chie pouted.

"Hey, what about me? I'm helping too!" She said. Yosuke rolled his eyes.

"I meant you too," he said. Chie frowned.

"Yeah right! You were looking right at her." She complained. You chuckled.

"He can't look at both of us at the same time." You said and she just pouted. "Why does it matter, Chie? Are you jealous?" You teased nudging her. Chie made a disgusted looked.

"Ew no way!" She said.

"Ouch…" Yosuke said pouting.

"Aw, don't worry Yosuke, according to the whole school, you're already taken." Chie said winking at you. You blinked.

"We are NOT a couple." You said bluntly.

"Man, women are cruel…" Yosuke said sulking. You and Chie laughed.

The day seemed to fly by fast as you, Yosuke and Chie found ways to distract one another through every class. You even had a rather interesting 'passing notes' session in history…

You were sitting in history, being the model student you are, and taking notes and listening to your rather enthusiastic teacher express her love for history and the wonders of it; this is, until you a note flew over your head and landed right on top of your notes. You raised a curious eyebrow and looked behind you to see a rather cheeky Yosuke smirking at you. You rolled your eyes and was about to throw it away when you noticed it wasn't there.

"Where did it-" You started.

"Ooo what's this?" Chie asked opening it and reading it. You and Yosuke frowned.

"You shouldn't take things that don't belong to you." Yosuke said frowning.

"Hush!" Chie said putting a hand in the male's face. "Besides, it just says 'hey'. Who writes dumb notes like that? I thought it was going to be something worth reading. What a waste." She tossed the paper back to you and returned her attention back to the over animated teacher. You rolled your eyes writing back to Yosuke.

"I wouldn't typically do this, but I think we should put Chie in her place. Let's make up a conversation worth eavesdropping on." You wrote back to the boy, then tossed it over your shoulder. He caught it, reading over it as he snickered, then placed the note in his pocket. He wrote a new one and this time making it a bit more… enticing. He tossed it back over your head with a sly smirk.

"Hey, are you busy tonight? Last night was too much fun and I really don't want to sleep by myself tonight." The note read. You rolled your eyes, but decided to play along.

"No, I'm free. Nanako-chan is going to be at a friends house tonight and Oji-sama said he'd be working all night. You can stay at my house tonight." You wrote back before tossing it over your shoulder. Chie, who'd caught a small glimpse of the note blinked a bit. She didn't quite read enough to want to snatch the note from you yet though. It didn't take long before the note was tossed back over your head and placed in the middle of your desk; Yosuke was really good at that!

"Perfect, I'll be over at eight. Oh, and don't forget to wear that-" your eyes widened at the article of clothing he described and didn't even want to finish reading it.

"Remember, you suggested this." Izanagi said with a sigh.

"But THAT of all things!" You said.

"I don't even want to imagine what sick fantasy that boy dreams about."

"…Boys are so gross…"

Regardless of Yosuke's… interesting suggestion, you decided to play along.

"Oh, I think I have something else you'd like MUCH better." You said drawing a small winky face before tossing it back to him. Yosuke snickered slightly, way too engaged in the conversation now. In a few short seconds, the note came flying back over your head and onto your desk.

"Oh yeah? I can't wait. What could be better than that?" It read. You rolled your eyes and Chie tried to discretely read over your shoulder. She gasped at the contents of the letter and looked over at you before writing her own note.

"It's a surprise. I know you'll love it." You replied tossing the note back at him. Chie slid her note over to you shakily.

"You didn't tell me you and Yosuke were a couple!" It read and you chuckled.

"We're not." You replied passing it back to her. Not a second later did Yosuke's note come flying onto your desk.

"Oo, now I'm even more eager. I'm not sure if I can wait until tonight. We'll have to leave right after class." It read and you chuckled.

"If we do that, then what are we going to do for the rest of the night?" You asked jokingly as you tossed it back to him just as Chie slid her note over to you.

"But you two were talking about… ya know!" It read.

"Yeah, but we're not a couple. It's just casual sex." You replied back to her. She gasped as she read the note and quickly started scribbling again. Yosuke's note rested on your desk as you read it.

"Trust me, we'll be busy." It said, but you didn't have a chance to reply as the bell rang signaling class was over and Chie ripped the note from your hands.

"How-how could you!?" She said angrily. Yosuke sighed.

"Chie-" He started.

"NO! That's just not right! You two can't be… ya know, without being a couple! That's-that's just! NO!" She said. She seemed overly upset about the situation. "What if you get pregnant?! You'll have creepy Yosuke kids!" You laughed loudly at this and Yosuke pouted.

"Hey!" He said.

"Chie, it was just a joke. We're not actually having casual sex." You said. "We just wanted to teach you not to read other people's notes is all." Chie blinked rapidly at this before frowning. She stood up without a word and walked out of the classroom.

"Oops, I think we upset her." You said chuckling. Yosuke laughed.

"Oh well, she'll get over it." He said waving dismissively. "Come on, let's go get something to eat, I'm starving."

"Ooooohh no! You're not stealing her today, she's mine!" Someone said bursting into the classroom and lifting you up effortlessly.

"Kou-kun…" You started.

"You promised!" He whined.

"Yes, I know, but I can walk myself…" You said. Kou blinked.

"Oh yeah I guess you could, hehe." He said, but walked off with you anyway. "But I'm already committed to carrying you." Yosuke pouted, but knew he couldn't keep you to himself everyday, besides he was supposed to work at Junes today. He walked out of the classroom, only to be snatched up by someone.

"W-what the hell?!" He said as he was pulled into an empty section of the hallway. "Chie, what do you want?" Chie looked intently at the male for a long moment.

"You like [y/n], don't you?" She asked him.

"Wha? Dude, it was just a joke. Nothing in that letter was real." He said rolling his eyes.

"Yeah I know, but you were WAAAYYY too into that! You like her, don't lie to me!"

"I do not!" Yosuke insisted, but the light blush lighting his cheeks gave it away.

"You're blushing! Ah, I KNEW you did!" Chie said happily. Yosuke sighed.

"Okay, so I kinda do, but I don't really know…" He said. Chie raised an eyebrow.

"How do you not know?" She asked.

"Tch, you don't understand ANYTHNG do you?" He said. "It's just that… I mean she'd definitely attractive, I mean REALLY attractive-"

"Yeah, yeah, she's stunning, just get on with it." Chie said rolling her eyes. Yosuke rolled his eyes.

"And she's awesome, I mean we've got a lot in common and my parents seem to really like her-"

"What?! She already met your parents?!"

"Wha- yeah, I invited her over a while ago, but that doesn't matter!" He said. "It's just that I don't really know her all that well yet… and I don't want her to think the same about me that… that Saki-sempai did…" He said. Chie suddenly got serious feeling a bit of guilt for her friend.

"Yosuke… [y/n]'s not like that. You can tell she really cares about you. If she didn't then she'd blow you off like she does all of the underclassman boys that put notes in her shoebox." She said. Yosuke could say for once, that Chie offered him some meaningful advice, advice he'd definitely take to heart.

"You're right… thanks Chie." He said smiling lightly down at the girl.

"Welcome~!" She replied smiling. "And don't worry, I wont tell [y/n] anything about this conversation, promise!"

"Yukiko-san either!" Yosuke said frowning. Chie rolled her eyes.

"Fine, fine, I wont tell her either."

You sighed softly as Kou carried you into the gym where he practiced basketball. The other students in the gym looked at the two of you strangely as Kou carried you inside.

"Hey guys, I brought our manager!" He said happily. He gently placed you down on your feet and rolled your eyes.

"Sorry about that. I tried to get him to put me down, but apparently, once he's committed, nothing stops him." You grumbled and the other players seemed to think this was humorous. "Anyway, I'm [f/n] [l/n] and Kou-kun asked me to be your manager, so I'll try my hardest to make things a bit easier for you." You said smiling. Kou rolled his eyes as his teammates talked among themselves about how happy they were to have you around.

"I don't know, [y/n]-chan, I might not be able to keep you around. It seems you're a distraction." Kou joked immediately silencing the mass of men in the gym room. You chuckled as you joined the gym teacher in his office to discuss that you'd be doing, then rejoined the team to watch them practice. Basically, you only had to attend once a week to write down what they improved on and what needed work. You'd have to come everyday for two weeks before the game, then at the games you have to record the games. Easy enough you supposed, but it would take up a lot of your time. You hoped their games wouldn't interfere with the TV world.

After practice, the group changed their clothes and met you at the bleachers. Kou was first to shove them all aside and take you by the hand.

"Sorry, she has plans." He said with a sly smirk. The boys didn't seem too pleased, but Kou obviously didn't care. He lead you outside and toward the soccer field where Daisuke was practicing.

"Hey man, come on, let's go get something to eat." He said. Daisuke nodded.

"Yeah sure, just let me change." He said running off to shower and change in the locker room. Kou sat down on one of the stands and you joined him.

"You and Daisuke-kun seem to be very close." You said and he smiled.

"Yeah, he's my best friend." Kou said. "We've been together for as long as I can remember. We do pretty much everything together." You chuckled.

"It seems like it. I've never been very close to anyone like that." You admitted. "My parents move around a lot, so it's hard for me to get close to people." Kou seemed a bit apologetic toward you.

"Damn, that sucks, but you seem pretty likeable, I'm sure you have lots of friend wherever you go." He said. "I know you sure have a lot of people that want to be you friend here. I know every guy on the basketball team does." He laughed at his comment and you laughed with him.

"Heyy, am I interrupting something?" Daisuke asked as he joined you two. "I can always come back in like ten minutes."

"Na, it's cool, but dude you shower quick." Kou said.

"Yeah, you get used to it. Some guys give off a weird aura, ya know? You just don't wanna stay in the shower too long with them…" You and Kou laughed, but Daisuke seemed to be serious about it.

"I'm serious! I mean, it's just creepy! I don't even know how to explain it."

"Dude, maybe you should do something about that. Have like a team meeting or something." Kou said.

"And say what? 'Some of you are creeping on me in the shower and I want you to stop'?"

"Hell yeah! I'd be seriously creeped out if some guy was gawking at me in the shower."

"I don't want to embarrass anyone, or make anything think I was looking at THEM." Kou laughed.

"Dude, that's so gross, let's not talk about this anymore; especially not with [y/n] here." Daisuke just then seemed to realize you were there.

"Oh, sorry, [y/n]-chan." He said. "Guess you probably didn't want to hear that." He chuckled slightly nervously, but you shook your head.

"No, it's okay. I completely understand. In gym class that happens to me too…" You admitted. "It is creepy, especially since there aren't enough showers and we have to share…" Kou cringed.

"I'd rather stink than share a shower with another guy. I don't care who it is." He said and Daisuke nodded in agreement.

"Seriously, that's disgusting."

"But you'll get in a hot spring with another guy?" You said.

"That's different! One, he has a towel and two he's under water. I ain't gotta see his junk just hanging there." Kou said.

"Dude, don't talk like that with her around." Daisuke scolded.

"What? She asked!" You laughed at the two. The afternoon would definitely be lively.

The two brought you to a local restaurant in the Shopping District called, 'Aiya'. This was the two's favorite place to eat, they told you. You walked inside and the smell of delicious food filled your senses the minute you walked inside. The man behind the counter greeted you politely and took your order.

You told joked and exchanged friendly conversation with the two boys as you ate. Daisuke paid for your meal, insisting that a woman shouldn't have to buy her own food. Kou thought it was just his attempt at impressing you. After eating with the two, they walked you home, then waved goodbye to you as you made your way into the house.

When you were inside, Nanako greeted you happily. Dojima was also home, which made you happy. You hadn't seen him in so long, it was nice to have him home for dinner. You and Nanako happily prepared dinner, then you ate happily with the two as Nanako talked about visiting Junes and Dojima talked briefly about work.

After a pleasant dinner with your uncle and cousin, you went up to your room and did your homework before receiving a text message.

"Hey, it's Chie, are you busy tomorrow after school? Yukiko has a doctor appointment and I don't have anything to do. Wanna hang out?" You smiled softly as you read it. You were glad she wasn't still upset with you after you and Yosuke teased her. Chie was a good friend of yours and you hadn't spent much time with her.

"Sure Chie, sounds like fun!"

"Awesome! See you tomorrow!" After your conversation with Chie, you went to sleep earlier than usual. You were exhausted, since you hadn't gotten much sleep the night before.
