The next morning the two new lovebirds went to breakfast. Izuru as usual though the display was too boring so Nanami picked out food for both of them. She missed the way Hinata use to be before all this, while he's becoming more like his old self she understood he is also a new person. As badly as she wanted Hinata back she still technically had him a new version of him, kinda like..he evolved like her pokemon.

"What's on your mind" he said stealing a piece of bacon from her plate.

"...I know you're Hinata but, at the same time I know you aren't..I don't want you to feel like I'm only in love with "hinata" and not you..you don't have to force yourself to be something you pretend you're not." she said as she continued to eat.

"Then you don't mind calling me Izuru from now on?" he said taking her hand.

"Not at all I fell in love with Hinata but, I've also fallen in love with you" Her words brought a blush to his face as he hid in his hair. He had been worried about this exact thing he had predicted that Nanami would long for the way he use to be, how he use to treat her. One thing that didn't change was that she was the center of his universe, and the only being in the world who he could call interesting, the only one who could make him feel this way.

Winter vacation was coming soon an entire month off for students to go home to their parents. Izuru couldn't recall his own family still the school would probably have some excuse already for "Hinata" not returning home. Nanami's family was all too excited to have her home. Izuru had nowhere to go it's not like it would be any less boring going somewhere besides here. He just wished Nanami could stay with him. He spent less time in his own dorm to stay with her as long as he could besides he gets better sleep when cuddled up with Nanami even he isn't sure why. Since the day of that trip the two haven't talked much about what went on during the ride home. As much as he wanted Nanami he knew it was too soon for her he wanted to make sure her first time would be perfect not dull and bland.

"5 days"

"...indeed"

"Izuru kun...maybe you could take the time to do a little travelling" she said with a small smile.

"Boring" he said. Nanami puffed her cheeks at him, it was a little annoying he had no interest in hardly anything anymore she sometimes worried if she was interesting enough for him.

"I know what you thought just now you are the only one who interests me" she sighed in defeat laying up against him. She was sure going to miss him, a entire month without her partner in all things. She hasn't even told her parents about having technically her first boyfriend, they knew she was interested in someone but, are clueless on Izuru. His appearance alone was very intimidating or strange to the average person. She remembered weeks ago when Mahiru needed a male model for a special photoshoot practice for the practical exams she had asked Izuru if he didn't mind to help. She tried her best to encourage him to interact with others in the class but, only got involved when she did. She agreed to do some photos for Mahiru in her swimming attire to try to persuade Izuru to help too. He finally caved especially after getting to save some of those photos Mahiru took, Nanami was still unaware he kept several pictures of her in his wallet. When it came to his turn he was natural photogenic without even trying she felt her own face heat up from the almost exotic photos she captured of him. If any man could look that god damn hot in a suit it was him. Nanami was in awe as well at how magnificent he truly was. And unknown to Izuru she kept every photo Mahiru took from the shoot.

One more day before he wouldn't see Nanami for a month this would be the most dreadful and, boring month of his life. He hated not being able to spend time with her, he wanted her to be right with him at all times. There were no classes today so he spent every minute of the day with her. Right now they were huddled together on the bench outside. The temperatures had reached low enough to where they could see their breath. Izuru's hair got in the way of a lot of things but, it had it's perks. His hair was extra warmth, It looked hella sexy on him. And she could easily hide herself in it when her classmates decided to tease her.

"Will you be ok here by yourself..?" she asked holding his arm tighter.

"I will be alright" he said

The day ended far too quickly as the sun set. They had to cuddle extra close because of how cold it had gotten, the building was like a igloo. He had his entire body curled around hers even his feet curled overtop of her small soft ones. He wished they could stay like this forever just him and her.

The next morning the alarm went off to alert it was the day Izuru had been dreading. How annoying...he groaned in his head as he grabbed the alarm clock and shut it off. He closed his eyes back shut holding Nanami tighter. Much to his dismay she woke up anyway sitting up with his arms still on her. She giggled leaning down to kiss his cheek. He only replied with the usual morning groan.

Nanami lived about 6 hours away her parents left very early to get there as soon as possible. They waited together on a bench near the school gates as leaves continued to change color and fall. Nanami and Izuru shared a large cup of Hot apple cider together as Izuru held her close and Nanami talked on and on about her strategy for claiming gyms in the pokemon game. Sometimes he couldn't help but wonder what it was like where she grew up, if she ever had any friends besides him and the class. She never talked much about her home life.

A small SUV pulled up to the sidewalk and a man and women stepped out. They looked around until they spotted Izuru and Nanami perched on the bench.

"There she is! Our little gamer! And she made a friend it looks like!" the women with pinkish hair said in excitement.

"A strange looking friend at that cmon lets go get her" The man said as the couple walked toward them. Izuru's stomach pained as they got closer knowing they were here to take her away from the school and him for a entire month. He closed his eyes lost in his own thoughts as they approached. Nanami looked up from her phone and smiled greeting her parents.

"I made a lot of new friends but, I also made a extra special one too.."she said with a delicate smile as she grabbed Izuru's hand having him stand up with her. She wrapped a arm around his as he did the same. "This is Izuru Kamukura hes my..hes my boyfriend.." Nanami said her cheeks reddening. They couldn't believe the word "boyfriend" just came out of her mouth. Nanami had never shown a real interest in people nor romance. Izuru huffed under his breath at their reaction, Nanami was a blossoming young women eventually she was going to get asked out.

"It's wonderful to meet you Mr Kamukura you have no idea how shocked I was when I heard she liked someone she told us all about you in her letters" the man said politely. "Are your parents taking you anywhere special during winter?" he asked.

"...No I don't have any family it's just me.." he said plainly. He was rather shocked by the hurt look on her parents faces as they looked at each other. Nanami held onto his arm tightly nuzzling against him. She needed to feel his warmth one last time. 'She loved her parents dearly but, most of the time they both worked leaving her all alone. After realizing what it meant to have friends she never wanted to feel alone ever again.

"Love you" he whispered in her ear as he backed away from her so she and her family could go. Nanami mouthed the words back as she turned around to leave with her family.

"Honey…..y'know" Nanami's mother said to her husband. He gave her a look smiling as he knew exactly what she was thinking and loved the idea too. Nanami was busy stuffing her stuff into the car. "Mr Kamukura wait a second" her mother asked as she ran toward him. He stopped in his tracks and turned around to face her mother. It was easy to see who Nanami took more after. She took his hands in hers. "I'm very grateful for how happy you make Nanami each and everyday since you don't have plans why not come spend your free time with us" she said with a smile. For the first time Izuru's eyes lit up immediately agreeing as he ran inside to get his things. Nanami had no idea why it was taking so long for her mom and dad to go every second was making it harder for her not to cry. Izuru walked back out and opened the car door much to Nanami's shock. She looked toward her parents who smiled at her as he got into their car with his belongings. This vacation wasn't going to be so dull after all. Nanami moved her stuff to the side and sat in the middle right next to him laying her head on his shoulder as he laid his head on hers. It was a long car trip to home but, with him it wouldn't last long enough.
