Monika looked at Flynn and Yuri who are happily conversing while they pick up the boxes and put them in the shelf.

"They seem to be...close" she said.

"Beats me." Natsuki said. "Since Flynn joined, Yuri seems happy. I'm glad that Flynn was there for her." she said smiling. "And about that time with Sarah." she said in an angry tone.

"Eheh. Calm down, Natsuki! it's all good now." Sayori said.

Yuri and Flynn returned to the group and to end the meeting Monika expresses how happy she was and can't wait to find the result for new members.

"Alright! To end this meeting, here's Monika's writing tip of the day: In writting a poem, make sure you do it with all your heart and emotions. It may come out into something you wouldn't expect and you will forever cherish it!"

"Hmm. How inspiring." Flynn said.

"Sure is!" she replied. Monika turned to Sayori and Natsuki. "You guys ready?" she asked.

"Sure we are Moni!" Sayori said.

"You bet! Now let's hurry up and get those premium chocolates!" Natsuki said with cheer.

Monika turned to me and Yuri. "How about you two?"

"M-my parents want me home early t-today because we're having dinner together. S-sorry Monika." Yuri said with a frown.

"Don't be sorry Yuri! We're just going to buy chocolates and things we need for the club and probably have dinner there as well. How about you Flynn?"

"I like to go but I have a to fix my bike. Sorry guys." I replied

"It's fine Flynn! We thought that maybe if you're available you can tag along! Well guess it's just the three of us. Let's go girls!"

They all left the room and went on their way. The Yuri and Flynn decided to go home together.

"Let's go Yuri." Flynn said. Yuri smiles and nods.

While they were walking in the streets, small droplets of water pours from the sky.

"Oh my!" Yuri said.

She reaches to her to find her umbrella.

"Oh no! I think I forgot my umbrella home. I-I didn't know it will rain!" she said.

"Don't worry Yuri I got your six." Flynn said as I open my umbrella. She immediately nudges at his side to avoid getting wet as the rain starts to pour more heavier. "Hmm. Somehow I never saw this coming." Flynn said.

Yuri looks at him. "You think?" she said. Flynn looks at her with a questioning look. "I-I'm sorry." she said as she tries to hide her face.

"For what?" he asked. She tries to say something but Flynn decided to let it go despite knowing her to be apologetic. "Very well, let's go."

As they arrived at Yuri's house, the rain just keeps pouring. Luckily her mother was there.

"Yuri! Oh thank goodness you're here!" her mother said as she reaches for her daughter.

"H-hey mom!" Yuri said as she kisses her mother on her cheeks.

Her mother soon notices Flynn. "Oh you must be her friend!" she said.

"Yes ma'am!"

"Thank you for walking her home. I didn't know that she forgot her umbrella." she said smiling.

"Flynn, the rain is too much for you if you go on. Maybe you c-can stay for awhile?"

"Ah yes, please come in child." her mother said. Flynn simply went inside her house. Inside, he put his umbrella in their rack and put dow his bag near the sofa and sit there. He saw Yuri went upstairs. Her mother closes the door and looks at him. "Maybe you can stay here and have dinner with us.

"Uhm. No it's...fine...ma'am. I think I'll just have dinner at home. The rain isn't going to be around." Flynn replied with every ounce of politeness.

"No need to be shy. It's kind of rare for Yuri to have friends in this household." she said and went to the kitchen.

"Yuri's mother sure looks a lot like her except she wears glasses and has a bluish hair." he thought

Yuri soon arrives at the living room wearing a purple jumper and black tights which is kind of cute. She sits next to Flynn.

"I hope you're making yourself comfortable, Flynn." she said.

"I'm good, Yuri." he replied. "Your mother is so nice. You look a lot like her you know." he added.

"E-Eh? W-What do you mean?"

"Well she had the same hair length and...uhm...facial features. In other words, you kind of inherited her beauty."

"D-Don't say that..." Yuri said looking away. Flynn smiled at her cute reaction and look down.

"Is there a p-problem, Flynn?" She asked.

"Oh nothing, It's just my motorcycle. I'm suppose to fix it. It's kind of a test of responsibility." he said with a sigh. "But it's not like I don't want to stay here." Flynn defended.

"S-sorry! I shouldn't let you come home with me!" she apologize.

"Hey it's okay, Yuri. I have a book with me to crack some time while I wait for the rain to slow down."

"Y-you brought a book?"

"Yep! Wanna read with me after we eat?"

"S-sure!"

"Okay. Let me just call my mom." Flynn said and grab his phone.

He went outside to call his mom and told her that he'll be coming home late due to the heavy rain. She agrees and only hope that he gets home as soon as possible. Of course he told her where he was.

Flynn went back inside only to see Yuri gesturing me to go to the dinning area.

"F-Flynn, you can sit here n-next to me." Yuri said patting the chair next to her. Flynn take a sit next to her.

That's when he saw her father. Her father has that fancy mustache which is kind of funny on how curly it is. He looked at Flynn and smiled.

"You must be a friend of Yuri. The name is Mason, please to meet you." he said reaching his hand for him to shake it.

"Ah my name is Flynn! Pleasure to meet you sir!" he said shaking his hand with both hands like he was hired by some big time company. Yuri's mother goes to the table and places the roasted chicken.

"Pardon me for not introducing myself earlier, Flynn. My name is Elyssa." she said sitting down.

"Pleasure to meet you ma'am." he said again with the same weird handshake. During the time they ate, Flynn and Yuri barely talk but keep catching glances at each other and turn away. Well unlike Yuri, he was not red as her. Her parents notice this and looks at each other. Her father finally speaks up.

"So Flynn, where do you live?" be asked.

"Uhm just across town sir. At Aurora Gate's ville."

"Ah I see. Good neighborhood?"

"Well it's fine but there had been attempt robberies there so the whole place was filled with cops sometimes."

"Well Yuri told us that your mom is a cop correct?"

"Yes she is." Flynn said and takes a bite on his food. "This turkey and burger patties are really good, Mrs. Elyssa!" I said.

"I'm glad you like it! We never actually get any guest for dinner." her mother happily replied.

"Then it pleases me to be the first." he replied.

"So what classes are you two together?" her father asked.

"Well, we're together at Science and English." Flynn replied. "We're also club mates at the literature club." I replied.

"Hmm. Well it appears that you and my daughter have the same taste in books, yes?" her mother asked.

"Oh yeah, but she's actually the one who introduce me to books." he replied nervously. Yuri blush at Flynn's statement and smiled but kept silent the whole time. Suddenly she spoke up.

"Well Flynn h-here also taught me more about p-poetry." she said looking at her parents.

"Well it pleases me that you have someone to inspire you on something you adore." her father said.

They ate and talk the whole time. The whole thing was heartfelt even for Yuri. Knowing that one of her friends are being complimented by her parents. As they done eating. The two went to the living room. The rain is still heavy. Her parents went upstairs to sleep leaving Yuri and Flynn.

"H-Hey Flynn!" Yuri called. "C-Classes are suspended tomorrow due to the rain."

"Well that sucks." he said. "Well maybe I'll just wait here until the rain-"

"Y-You can sleep here!" she said

"Uhm. What?"

"M-My mother allowed you to sleep here." she said while looking away and fiddling with her hair.

"That's...thoughtful of them." he said. "Do you want to read?" he said reaching the book in his bag.

"That will be just fine. Let me get some pillows and a duvet for you to use." she said.

"Sure I'll text my mom while you're at it." he said. Yuri went to her room while he took his phone and texted his mom. Yuri soon returned with a duvet and 2 pillows.

"Why did you bring 2 pillows, Yuri?" I asked.

"W-Well, in case you sleep with a-another pillow for you to...hug."

"Okay, shall we get started?"

"S-Sure."

Flynn shows the book to Yuri. It has a computer monitor and a headset in the cover. In the back cover, it has an opened book.

"What i-is this b-book, Flynn?" she asked.

"It's called "the Forgotten One" and it's publisher is goes by the name Richard McNegi." he said as he puts the book on the table "It's on sell actually."

"W-what is it about?" Yuri asked curiously.

"Well it's about this guy who gets sucked into a game he used to play. In the game, there was a character he likes and adore. Meanwhile, that game is actually a horror game where the characters suffer from emotional and psychological factors. It's all on him if he chose to save everyone including the female character he loves."

Yuri looks in awe as Flynn explains the whole thing. "Then let's r-read it!" she said happily. "But can we...uhm huddle closer and u-use the duvet? It's kind of c-cold. She said looking away shyly.

Flynn kind of fazed on her request and agrees."Uhh. S-sure." Flynn said nervously. "But will her parents think of this?" he thought.

The two huddle closer that their shoulders were touching and started reading. Suddenly their heads bump into each other.

"Oh! S-sorry." Yuri said nervously.

"Oh! It's fine. Hehehe. I should be the one to apologize. I get little engage in the book!" Flynn said.

"W-well it is an engaging story." Yuri said. "You want to continue?" she asked.

"Yeah sure." Flynn said.

They continue to read as they were about to reach the part where the main character is alone in a room with the female protagonist. The scene starts to get a little tense as Flynn and Yuri's breathing goes heavy cause they were reading the part were the characters began to make out.

"They were about to..." Yuri said still following word by word.

"Yes they are." Flynn said doing the same.

As the two main characters plant their lips to each other. Yuri who is in trance on the scenery on the book planted her lips on Flynn's cheeks. Flynn suddenly stops reading.

"W-what!?" he said in full red.

"I-uh. Hu-Haaah! S-sor-!" Yuri stutters wildly not being able to say the right words.

Crazy night, hmm? Negi! What do you think? :D
