Miyuki yawned and wiped the corners of her eyes, being careful not to smear her eyeliner.

"Hiroko-chan, I can't so this anymore. I'm tired!"

Hiroko poked Miyuki's forehead with her eraser and tapped on the table.

"Miyuki-chan, do you want to fail this math exam? I don't think your grandmother would be very happy about your score."

Miyuki pouted and groaned, folding her arms on the table and burying her face in her arms. Currently, she and Hiroko were sitting outside at a cafe; there was a big math test coming up and Miyuki was determined to pass the test with a good grade. Miyuki sat up when her phone jingled and she quickly opened the text message.

My head hurts.

Miyuki smiled as she texted back,

Me, too. Feels like my head is going to explode.

"Who are you texting?" Hiroko asked.

"Just a friend."

Hiroko peeked over Miyuki's shoulder and saw Rin's reply.

Should I come over and make it feel better?

Miyuki blushed and Hiroko squealed excitedly,

"Matsuoka Rin? Seriously?"

"We're just friends!"

Miyuki checked her phone again when it jingled.

I want to see you.

Miyuki wasn't sure if it was possible for her cheeks to darken in color but she was sure it was happening now.

I'm outside a cafe called Tea Leaf with Hiroko-chan.

Hiroko was staring at Miyuki with a sly grin. Miyuki avoided her gaze and turned her attention to her math homework.

"Mi-yu-ki-chan~ How long have you and Matsuoka-san been talking?"

"Not that long. It's only been about a week or so."

Hiroko clasped Miyuki's hands and held them tightly.

"This is so exciting! We can go on double dates!"

Miyuki sweat dropped at Hiroko's enthusiasm.

"Who's going on double dates?"

"Rin!"

Miyuki was embarrassed that Rin had heard her conversation.

"Hello, Matsuoka-senpai. I was suggesting to Miyuki-chan that you two can go on a double date with me and Takumk!"

Rin pulled up a chair and sat down beside Miyuki,

"Sorry, but Miyuki and I are just friends," Miyuki didn't like how her heart constricted at Rin's words, "Anyways, what are you working on?"

"Math homework," Miyuki groaned miserably, "I hate it."

Rin took the textbook from Miyuki and looked over it.

"What are you talking about? This stuff is easy."

Miyuki gave Rin a weird look and he arched his brow at her. Miyuki wondered if the chlorine from the pool was getting to his brain.

Hiroko's phone vibrated and she flipped it open, quickly pressing some buttons before closing it and gathering her things.

"I have to go, Miyuki-chan. I'll text you later, okay?"

"Bye, Hiroko-chan. Have fun with Takumi-kun."

"How did you know?"

Hiroko winked at Miyiki and waved as she departed.

"I can't believe you think this is hard." Rin said, pointing a finger at a particular page in the textbook.

"It is hard! I hate math and it hates me." Miyuki whined.

Rin chuckled as Miyuki pouted cutely.

"That's an interesting way to put it. Well, it can't be helped. There must be a big math test coming up, right? I'll take you somewhere nice if you get all these answers right."

Rin flipped through several pages. Miyuki's eyes widened in horror and she contemplated ripping up the textbook...but she still needed it and Rin's incentive certainly sounded nice. Her heart constricted again when she remembered Rin's words.

"...Fine. It better be a nice place, though!"

A few hours later, Miyuki's head was throbbing and Rin was frustrated.

"How the hell did you get to this level of math in high school if math hates you so much?"

"With luck!"

Rin rubbed his temples; Miyuki really wasn't kidding when she said math hated her and she hated math.

"Well, I guess you're doomed to fail the upcoming math test then."

"Thanks, Rin."

"Excuse me, we have to close the shop now."

"Oh, sorry. We'll leave."

Miyuki cleaned up her things and put them into her backpack. Rin took her hand and led her towards the train station.

"Where are we going?" She asked.

"To the place I said I'd take you."

"But I didn't do well today."

Rin turned around and flicked Miyuki's forehead. She hissed in pain and gave Rin a confused look.

"You didn't do well today, but...maybe this will cheer you up."

"Okay."

They took the train to the Iwatobi harbor. Miyuki recognized it as the place where the annual squid festival was held. Miyuki followed Rin through town and up a flight of stairs. They came upon a lookout that overlooked the harbor.

"Wow, it's beautiful!"

Miyuki leaned against the iron railing as she admired the sea of lights below her. The boats were lit up and some of them were heading out to sea while others were coming in.

"I recently discovered this place when Haru and the others showed me."

Miyuki didn't respond. She stiffened when Rin placed an arm around her and she turned around in surprise. Rin leaned in and captured her lips in a kiss, his arms holding her close. Miyuki's hands tentatively grasped Rin's shoulders as her mind reeled in confusion and excitement. Didn't Rin say they were just friends?

Rin broke the kiss and gently pressed his forehead against Miyuki's. She stared into his red eyes, questioning his intentions.

"I like you, Miyuki."

"But you told Hiroko we were just friends."

Rin chuckled; it was cute how Miyuki was so quick to defend.

"I panicked. I was planning on telling you later tonight. I didn't realize how much you sucked at math so I had to think of something else."

Miyuki half-heartedly punched Rin and he laughed, capturing her lips in another kiss. This time, Miyuki kissed back and she found that it was sweeter than the first kiss.

"I like you, too, Rjn."

"Then be my girlfriend." Rin whispered against her lips.

"You don't know how long I've been waiting to hear those words from you." Miyuki replied.

"Oh? How long did you wait?" Miyuki blushed at Rin's teasing tone, "We'd better go back before it gets too late."

Rin laced his fingers with Miyuki and she smiled giddily at the sight. She couldn't believe this was really happening.
