Disclaimer: Some parts of this chapter were from Chapter 41 of the manga.

Recap: I nodded and ran out of the house. Knowing that Misaki would've ran straight. I ran as fast as my legs could make me wanting to find Misaki as quickly as possible and taking her into my arms. I entered the forest and looked around.

Misaki, where are you?

Takumi's POV

I've been searching for Misaki for two hours now, but I was not going back. I will not return home until I find her. Knowing Misaki, she wouldn't go back home unless she absolutely had to.

"Misaki!" I screamed on the top of my lungs.

I heard some movement on my right and sprinted that way. I spotted a girl with raven hair and quickly caught up with her. I grabbed her arm and pulled her to my chest. Hearing Misaki sob into my chest, I soothingly ran my hand through her hair.

"Shh. It's okay, it's okay," I told her quietly as to not startle her.

She continued to quietly cry in my chest as she wrapped her arms around my waist and hugged me tightly. Although I was shocked, I decided to keep a calm attitude and not tease her about it. I made soothing circles on her back before pulling away and looking into her eyes.

"Are you feeling better now?" I asked. She nodded.

"Want to go home?" She quickly shook her head.

I sighed, "So where are we going to sleep tonight?" She raised an eyebrow upon hearing the word 'we.'

"Yes. We. I am not going to leave you alone tonight. Let's walk around until we find a motel or something," I said.

She rolled her eyes but followed me nonetheless. We continued walking for half an hour before we finally saw a dimly lit building on the outskirts of the forest. I held Misaki's hand and jogged to the building. Luckily, it was a motel.

"Excuse me. I would like a room please," I said politely to the man behind the counter. The man looked up and eyed us suspiciously.

"You two better not be doing anything dirty in that room. Back in my day, I was told to never do it before marriage," said the guy.

I chuckled and Misaki deeply blushed. "Don't worry sir. No funny business will take place in the room," I said firmly although I had a smile on my face.

The man nodded at me as I handed him the money and he handed me the key. When we entered the room Misaki immediately started hitting me.

"Hey, it wasn't my fault!" I objected.

She humphed and started to observe the room. It wasn't a five star hotel or anything, but it was good enough for one night. There was a single queen sized bed in the center of the room with a TV against the wall. On the left was a white, chipped door which led to the bathroom.

I looked over at Misaki and saw her face as red as a tomato.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

She looked at me, pointed at the bed, and held up one finger.

I laughed. "Yes Misaki, there is only one bed, but don't worry. I won't do anything to you... or will I?" I smirked, "It depends on whether you'll turn me on tonight," I continued in a seductive voice.

Misaki rapidly shook her head as she ran into the restroom and looked the door. "Do you need help washing up?" I asked through the door. She loudly banged on the door as a no.

I laughed. It is just so interesting to see her reactions and expressions. I sat down on the bed and thought about everything that happened back at the orphanage. I was so close to getting adopted but thankfully I wasn't. I must remember to thank everyone for that. The couple deserved it anyways. Shamelessly offending Misaki will cause you to go on my bad list.

I heard Misaki open the door and turned to look at her. She obviously took a shower since her hair was damp and water was soaking her clothing, but she was still wearing the same clothes from before. I sighed and walked out the door. Misaki shot me a questioning gaze.

"I'm going to be right back. Don't worry," I left the room making sure to close the door behind me.

Misaki's POV

Where is that alien going? Oh well, at least I can relax a little without his constant teasing. I was bout to lay on the bed, but I glanced down at my attire. I just took a shower and there was no towel so now my clothes are soaked. My damp hair didn't help the situation either. I could really use another set of clothes right now.

As if on command, Usui came into the room holding two towels and six sets of clothes: two sets of pajamas and four sets of casual clothes.

"Here," said Usui holding out a set of pajamas and a towel for me, "go change into that and use that to dry yourself." I looked up at Usui with a raised eyebrow. I wish I had my whiteboard so I wouldn't have to make facial expressions or movements with my hands. Luckily, Usui seems to understand everything I want to say.

"I always have money on me. Don't worry, I didn't steal it," said Usui with a smirk, "but I would surely steal anything for you."

With my face heating up, I ran to the restroom and slammed the door... again. I could hear Usui chuckling through the door as I changed and dried my hair with the towel.

I exited the restroom and nodded my head at Usui as a thank you. Usui smiled and ruffled my hair.

"Now, would you like to accompany me in the shower?" asked Usui with that usual perverted smirk on his face.

I shook my head and punched his arm. I glared at him as he entered the restroom until he finally closed and locked the door.

I slowly made my way to the bed and layed down. Today was such a tiring day. What should I do? I didn't want to go back either so where could I go? There's also that stalker Usui to think about as well. Maybe I should leave in the middle of the night and run off somewhere until I find a place to stay... Wait! What am I saying?! If I want to be strong I must face my problems!

So caught up in my thoughts I didn't notice Usui exiting he restroom.

"What are you thinking about Misa-chan?" asked Usui, interrupting my thoughts. I turned to look at Usui and quickly turned back. Why isn't he wearing a damn shirt?!

"What's wrong Misa-chan? Are my good looks blinding you?" asked Usui. I could honestly hear the smirk in his voice.

I heard Usui chuckling before saying, "You can look now."

I slowly turned and saw that he was now indeed wearing a shirt. Good. I was worried I'd have to endure him being shirtless all night.

I felt Usui sit down on the other side of the bed. I glanced up at him and saw him look at me with gentle eyes.

"It's been a long day why don't you go to sleep," he said. I nodded and pulled the blanket up onto my chin. I closed my eyes and was about to drift off to sleep when I felt Usui kiss my cheek and whisper, "Good night, my princess."

~~~~~~~~~~~~Next Day~~~~~~~~~~~~

I slowly woke up to someone soothingly running their fingers through my hair. I slowly opened my eyes and saw that I was laying on Usui's chest with my arm draped around his waist. I sat up startled and glared at the blond smiling up at me.

"Good morning Misa-chan! And before you accuse me of anything, I woke up to you snuggling against me. I didn't do anything, I promise," said Usui.

I stared at him suspiciously before getting up to wash up in the bathroom and change. I picked up the outfit Usui bought for me and cringed. I slammed open the door to the bathroom and viciously glared at Usui.

"What happen?" asked Usui with a mischievous smile. I shoved the dress in his face.

"Oh, this is the casual dress I bought you. I wanted to get you sexy looking lingerie as your night wear but I knew you woudn't like it so I got you this cute dress. I think it would look adorable on you," said Usui with a smirk.

I glared at him and defiantly crossed my arms across my chest, saying: I'm not going to wear it.

"So you're going to go out in public with your pajamas?" questioned Usui. I looked down and noticed I was wearing an orange Pokemon pajama top with Pikachu on it and pink Hello Kitty pajama bottoms.

My face turned red and I glared at Usui. He knew this situation would occur that's why he bought me wear mismatched pajamas. I huffed as I grabbed the dress and went to go change.

The mid-thigh dress was pink and had small white frills on the bottom with a complementary dark hoodie. (Sorry I'm bad at describing clothing! I don't understand fashion...)

After we both finished washing up and changing we gathered our stuff (which wasn't much) and left the hotel.

"So do you want to go home now? I'm pretty sure they're worried sick about you," stated Usui.

I slwoly shook my head. I will go back sooner or later, but not now.

"Okay then, why don't we do something fun?" suggested Usui.

I looked at him curiously, unsure of what he meant. He suddenly held my hand and started running to the town square.

He finally stopped running when we arrived and told me to sit down on the bench and not go anywhere. Of course this pissed me off, I wasn't a dog. I glared at Usui as he ran off to do who knows what. I obeyed nonetheless since I didn't want to get lost. I waited for about ten minutes until Usui finally came out holding a bunch of things in a bag.

I looked at the bag curiously.

"I bought a bunch of toys for us to play with on our first date. Oh and I also got you a new whiteboard and marker since the other one was scratched up (refer to chapter 8) and you don't have it here," explained Usui, reading my mind.

I snatched the whiteboard and marker and quickly wrote something down.

Date?! I showed Usui the board with a furious look on my face.

"Yes, Misa-chan. A date. So we could spend some time together. Now hurry and pick the toy you'd like to play with first. Then, we could head to the park and play over there," said Usui. I can't believe he could say all of this so casually.

I looked at everything he bought. There was a Kendama toy, a jump rope, soap bubbles, tennis rackets, there was even a camera for crying out loud.

Stop lavishly spending money! It's such a waste!

"But Iwould spend all the money in the world just for Misa-chan," Usui replied cockily.

I rolled my eyes, grabbed a tennis racket, and made my way to the park.

Once we arrived at the park Usui grabbed a tennis ball and threw it in my direction. I quickly ducked to prevent getting hit and threw my tennis racket at him... which he expertly caught.

I quickly grabbed my white board. What the hell is wrong with you?!

"Well I said we would play, so here we are playing. But you should learn how to think fast Misa-chan," Usui teased.

I glared at him and caught the tennis racket that he tossed to me. Oh, you're on!

Usui and I started playing an intense game. I could tell that people were surrounding us and staring at us in awe. We continued to play with the different items Usui bought until the sun started to set.

I was casually blowing bubbles when Usui suddenly took a picture of me. I looked at him annoyed. He had been taking pictures this whole time and I never even got to hold the camera!

I pouted in Usui's direction and pointed at the camera.

Usui chuckled, "No can do Misa-chan. It's my camera."

I childishly stuck my tongue out at him when I felt his arms wrap around my waist from behind. I gasped and turned around.

"Wasn't this a nice date Misa-chan?" asked Usui.

I felt my cheeks heat up as I slowly nodded.

Usui took the bubbles from my hand, put them on the ground, and turned me to face him.

"To be completely honest, this is the best day of my life. I've always been locked up and was never able to do anything, so today was really amazing. I'm grateful to have you here by my side," said Usui casually before engulfing me in a hug.

My brain kind of wandered off a bit... what just happened? He just casually expressed his feelings without feeling awkward at all! I wish I could do that, but my blushes would give it away. I slowly started to return the hug when I heard Usui whisper in my ear, "I like you, Ayuzawa."

My heart stopped beating for a moment before it started to beat so loudly and rapidly I was afraid Usui could hear it. He just confessed... Should I confess to? Do I have the same feelings for him as well? At first I hated him with all my guts but now I'm standing here hugging him. What is wrong with me?

So many thoughts were passing through my mind that I didn't notice when Usui pulled away.

"It's alright. You don't have to tell me how you feel now. But just know that I will always wait for you," said Usui as he was about to go and pack up our stuff.

Before he could even turn, I ran into his arms and embraced him. "I like you too, Usui," I whispered.

...

Did I just talk?

And she finally talks! Hope you guys liked the ending ;) (although in my opinion, it was a bit cheesy)

So sorry! I made a mistake in the previous chapter! I was watching a movie and typing the chapter at the same time (which I know is a bad thing to do) and accidentally typed 'deaf' instead of 'mute' and I continued like that for the majority of the chapter. Thx to sweetH34R7 and Primo for spotting my mistake! I've fixed it now. :)

Anyways, thanks so much for the reviews! I actually got passed my goal! Keep it up!
