"Kukai wake up." Kukai slowly opened his eyes. He awoke to Aoi lying next to him. She was only wearing his white uniform shirt. She smiled as Kukai pulled her in by the waist.

"Morning Kukai."

"Morning Aoi. So do you wanna tell me why you're in my bed with nothing but my shirt on?" Aoi just looked at him innocently.

"today school starts 2 hours later so I thought I'd give you a special wake-up call." Kukai rolled his eyes. He knew exactly what she was doing. The shirt, Aoi in his bed, them having two solid hours before school.

"I know what you're doing." Aoi shrugged.

"What ever do you mean Kukai?"

"You know what I mean Aoi. It's bad enough you do this to me on a daily basis but this is really testing our limits. How do you expect us to control ourselves?"

"I can control myself just fine." Aoi gave Kukai a quick peck on the lips, "see?"

God you shouldn't have done that Aoi Kukai thought. He had little control as it was because of all Aoi's teasing. And she just set him off.

Kukai smashed his lips into her. Aoi quickly responded back. Little did she know she was adding to the fire. Kukai licked at her lips for entree. On instinct, Aoi opened her mouth wider.

Their tongues started to have a heated battle, both sides evenly matched. Kukai cut their little battle short and started kissing down Aoi's neck. His hands left her waist and started going up her thigh. He started to kiss and lick in one spot on her neck and Aoi put hand on Kukai chest, telling him to stop. He probably would have stopped but the soft moan Aoi tried to keep back escaped her lips made him keep going.

"Kukai...no" her plead made him stop. He slowly moved his hand away from her upper thigh and back around her waist. Kukai buried his face into Aoi's shoulder.

"Sorry." Kukai mumbled. Aoi couldn't help but smile.

"It's okay." Kukai jolted his head up too look her in the eye.

"You know if you stopped teasing me this wouldn't have happened, right?" she ran her hand through his hair.

"I can't help it. You're too cute!" she ruffled his hair as she said that. He frowned at her. Kukai felt like a little brother when she did that.

"You tease me but I don't even get anything out of it."

Aoi slipped out of Kukai's arms and out his bed. Before she left his room, she turned to look at him.

"Well I'm going to the bathroom to change. If you get there in time, you might get a little peek." With that Aoi shut the door behind her. After a couple of seconds of registering what she just said, Kukai jumped out of bed and dashed to the bathroom.

He opened the bathroom door only to get his shirt thrown in his face. Aoi walked out with her red plaid skirt and white button up on. She was finishing buttoning her shirt. Kukai grumbled as he pulled the shirt off his face.

"tease." He said.

"Perv" Aoi retorted.

"It's not my fault! You made me like this!"

"Serves you right! You gave me a hicky!" Aoi didn't button her shirt up all the way but made sure the hicky was covered.

"How'd you get dressed that quick anyway?" Aoi patted his shoulder.

"Perfect beings never reveal their secrets." Kukai furrowed his eyebrows,

"I thought that was magicians."

"Whatever. Now get dressed so we can meet everyone in the cafeteria." Aoi said before she walked into her room. Kukai followed suit.

Even though Aoi was dressed before him, he ended up on the couch waiting for her. Finally she had got her hair into the half ponytail with a big red ribbon. She put her red tie loosely her neck. Aoi put on her black vest while slipping her studded rollover combat boots on. Aoi grabbed her book bag and walked out the door with Kukai right behind her.


Aoi walked into the lunchroom with Kukai right behind her. She could feel the eyes on her but she tried to focus on looking for her friends. She was so preoccupied she didn't see Kukai put his arm around her.

"You know they're staring at you right?" Kukai whispered as Aoi smirked.

"Yeah but it doesn't matter. I have you. " Aoi whispered back. Kukai smiled.

"That's good to hear."

"Hey lovebirds! Stop with the PDA and come over here." They both slightly frowned at Rima ruining their moment. They walked over to their friends. All of them were already eating. Kukai sat next to Nagi and Aoi sat next to him.

"What took you so long?" Nagi asked Kukai. Nagi shot Aoi a look.

"What were you doing? Putting your face on?" Aoi kept up sugary sweet smile but her eye still twitched.

"Putting my face on? Whatever do you mean little Nagi?"

"I mean you globing on concealer to cover up that giant pimple." Her smile was replaced with a scowl. That pimple has been gone for a week now.

"You should slow down on the butter if you wanna fit into that frilly dress you'll be wearing. You know butter's really fatty."

"You know you take the butter and shove it right up your-"

"Hey look! Ikuto's back!" Amu quickly cut off their fight. Ikuto sat down slowly, not knowing what was going on.

"Hey babe." Ikuto kissed Amu on the cheek, "what's with the tense table?"

"Long story short Kukai and Aoi were late but Aoi and Nagi still managed to start a fight." Rima explained. Ikuto looked at Aoi and looked her up&down. He smirked.

"Well I know why they were late." Kukai scrunched up his face.

"You got all of that from looking at her?" he nodded. Ikuto pulled her collar, revealing the hicky she had hid. Amu shook her head.

"You two are nasty."

"It wasn't like that Amu I swear. Nothing happened" Kukai tried tell her but Aoi had already started her act.

"It was so rough Ikuto. I asked him to be gentle but he…" Aoi wiped away tears that weren't there while Kukai face palmed. God she was enjoying this.

Ikuto put his arm around Aoi."well you could always stay at my dorm. we can even sleep in the same bed if that makes you feel better."

"really thanks Ikuto. I'd really appreciate that." Ikuto and Aoi suddenly felt tugging on their collars.

Kukai and Amu pulled them away from each other and sighed. they were both in love shameless flirts. Rima and Nagi got up.

"as much as i like seeing those two get hurt, we have to go to class." Nagi told us. Amu dragged Ikuto out the door by the ear while Rima and Nagi were talking about some movie they were going to see. before Kukai could get up, Aoi sat on his lap.

"what are you doing? We have to go to class." Aoi bit her lip.

"Are you mad at me?" Kukai was a little confused by her question.

"why would I be mad at you? i already know you have flirting problem. Plus when you flirt, you don't usually act on it." Aoi got up off Kukai's lap.

"Phew that's good. If you were that would have totally ruined your surprise." they held hands as they walked to the exit.

"What surprise?"

"you'll just have to wait til after school"


"Come on Kukai! I'm running faster than you!" Aoi told Kukai, pulling him towards his surprise.

"it's harder to run with your eyes closed." Kukai grinned at how excited sounded.

Kukai felt Aoi's pulling come to a halt.

"we're here. You can open your eyes now." Kukai opened his eyes... a tree. the tree from 6 months ago.

"Aoi..." Kukai trailed off. Aoi looked at him with a small smile.

"Looks like you remember." Kukai nodded.

"so its been six months since we've been together" Kukai squeezed her hand.

"six months since I let you love me." Aoi put her head on Kukai's shoulder, "You know when you hugged me under that tree, you know told me something I needed to hear."

"And what was that?" Kukai was happy she remembered his words.

"That you love me and that it's okay if people to love me. You said it like actually worthy of your love."

"that's because you are." Aoi hugged Kukai, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck.

"I love you Kukai. I really do." Kukai smiled and hugged her back.

"I love you too" they stayed like that for what seemed like forever. the moment would have been perfect if Kukai's phone didn't start ringing. kukai rolled his eyes and answered it.

"What do you want?" Kukai said.

"Yeah I'm with Aoi... fine I won't tell her... yeah I'm pretty close to there... No way am I going in there and picking that up for you Nagi!... Because that's weird and a little homosexual!... ugh when do you need it?... now? But..."Kukai looked at Aoi. Aoi shook her head.

"it's okay Kukai. Just go get Nagi's thing."

"But we were-" Aoi shook her head.

"it's fine. just go and come back." Kukai gave up and got back on the phone with Nagi, "Alright I'll get it but you owe me! bye."

kukai started to run in some random direction. he waved back at her. Aoi waved at him until he was almost out of sight.

Aoi stood there in silence, smiling at the tree. IT made her think she had a shot at a normal life with Kukai.

"Who would have thought you could get more beautiful, Aoi?" Aoi froze. She turned around slowly, hoping she didnt just hear that voice.

"Tsubaki"
