So until 20th chapter the wonderful person helped me with editing „Not Perfect" story. ReadAholic0113 was the one who worked with me to re-edit all the chapters I made until that point (12 chapters) and fix their awful grammar. I want to thank her, without her I wouldn't learn back so much of english and I wouldn't be able to write a lot better now. She quit because of awful family problems and I hope that her situation will be better in future.

Now, I want to thank 7cm-away-from-you (amins) for answering my request on tumblr. The current chapter was edited by her and future ones will be also published under her careful eyes. I want to thank her once more for giving some of her time to make „Not Perfect story better"

And now let's start the new chapter.


Chapter 21

Just too much.

Some people say that big problems have their beginnings in a small matters. Somehow Nezumi started to believe those words after the event that happened on a late spring's day.

...And the said day had started so nice.

When Nezumi woke up that Saturday morning the warm rays of sun already lit up their room. Then, since he and Shion were in the mood, they had two rounds of sex; first one in the bed, second under the shower. The younger boy only had a small meeting at work so he returned home early and helped Nezumi and Karan at the bakery.

Yes, the day started so perfectly.

Everything was so good until Shion said a few words that shouldn't have even bothered the silver eyed boy.

"Mom, you know that Alice and Toya are getting married? He proposed to her last week." Shion said while they all were eating dinner.

"Oh, that's so wonderful. Well, looking at them you could guess that it would happen soon or later." Karan shared her son's excitement after hearing the news.

"Yeah, you're right." the white haired boy chuckled lightly "Still, I think it's wonderful that they decided to get married. It's nice when two people promise that they will care for each other in health and sickness. Maybe it's a little old fashioned, but I think that such a celebration of love is something beautiful. Oh, and they already invited us to their wedding"

"That's so nice of them."

"Beware, mom. I bet that Alice is planning something unusual for the party." The younger boy smiled brightly as he poured more apple juice into his cup. Until now Nezumi wasn't dragged into silly talk, but then Karan looked at him clearly wondering about something.

"Nezumi would you like to go as well? If anyone asks for a reason for you to be there I will explain to them that you are part of the family as my second son." Karan asked him making Shion hold his breath in anticipation for a long speech about the pointless existence of such events. The white haired boy knew that Nezumi had the tendency to criticize the topic of cheesy romance, celebrations and old rituals. When they talked about books with silly, sugar coated weddings Nezumi always said something like: 'There are other things that are truly significant in life, more than a party created for others to know how much money you can throw away to make a show.'

"I will think about it." Nezumi answered this time making Shion's eyes even bigger than usual from surprise. Nezumi was sure that in the end he would refuse and he would spend that day reading on the balcony, because what would he do at such party? He didn't know those people, even if he was grateful to them for supporting Shion. He wouldn't be even able to dance with his boyfriend. The female guests would try to flirt with them and the situation would make them both annoyed.

No, Nezumi didn't want to go to that party, but he wasn't going to stop Shion and Karan from going and having fun.

The older boy moved his eyes on Shion, who looked like he had just read Nezumi's mind. The white haired boy smiled gently, telling Nezumi without words that he wouldn't mind for his boyfriend to stay at home.

The cheerful conversation around the topic of the wedding continued for a while between mother and son leaving Nezumi alone with his own thoughts.

It was clear that Shion liked the idea of marriage. Since they were together, would he like to marry Nezumi? Probably yes, but knowing Shion he would never say a word about such hopes and dreams, even on his deathbed. The white haired boy always made it clear so Nezumi knew that possibility of them to love each other was enough. He never asked for more than the silver eyed couldn't give or do.

Yet, Shion always did everything for Nezumi.

The older boy chewed his vegetables angrily.

It was idiotic. They both were men, so they decided not to tell the public about their relationship, but he was still wondering if Shion would like to marry him.

Such thoughts didn't leave Nezumi alone in the next days. He tried to not growl angrily at Shion even if this was all his fault.

He tried hard to forget how happy Shion's voice sounded when he was talking with Karan about the wedding ceremony and focus on the other, more enjoyable matters.

They were slowly preparing their trip outside the city and Nezumi had chose the perfect spot in his opinion, which he discovered during his travels. Thanks to a new train line alongside the station in a small village close to their destination, they would be able to get there and back in four days. He was really happy and excited over their trip. However, each time Shion brought him a cup of coffee, showed him a new project on how to improve No.6, covered Nezumi with his own blanket at night making himself sneeze next morning, or just whispered his name when resting after their climax, Nezumi couldn't shake the feeling that he also should do more for his boyfriend.

Noticing his bad mood for the past three days, on the roof Karan sent him shopping so he could catch some fresh air. It only worsened the matter. One of the things Nezumi had to buy was inside the shop that had a jewelry stand inside. Offhandedly, his eyes caught a glass-case displaying engagement rings.

"This is fucking joke." Nezumi cursed at his fate. Damn, even Shion not to treat him like a girl. Nezumi wasn't going to kneel before the other boy and ask him to marry him like some kind of damsel. Shion was a man just like him and the other boy proved that more than once.

Deciding indefinitely to never buy an engagement ring, Nezumi made a few steps to get Karan's order but he stopped once more when something else caught his attention. It was pair of wedding rings with two engraved lines running around the surface. They weren't too extravagant nor too simple. Some would say that since they both were men the plain rings would be better, but Nezumi knew that Shion deserved better than that. A natural like Shion was truly one of a kind, especially for making Nezumi think about damn rings, which was driving him crazy.

The shop keeper looked at him with gentle smile waiting for the long haired boy's next move, but Nezumi almost ran from that place forgetting even Karan's order. He wondered how much more ridiculous he would become because of love for the person who saved him nine years ago.


Nezumi often called him an airhead, but even Shion wasn't so oblivious to not notice that since the talk about his friends wedding Nezumi started to act strange.

At first Shion thought that his boyfriend didn't want to go to the wedding; That the dark haired boy didn't refuse the invitation as not to make Shion and Karan feeling guilty about leaving Nezumi behind when they have fun. Maybe Nezumi thought that they wouldn't go to the party without him. Well, yes, normally families went to such events together, but Shion knew that their situation wasn't a normal one. Their situation was never normal from the beginning...

It would be nice to go to the party together and say to everyone that this beautiful man is Shion's most important person in his life. To grab Nezumi's hand and drag him to dance since the dark haired boy promised to dance with him more often. Nezumi would probably do his best to show everyone how much of an amazing dancer he is. Shion would laugh at the attempt since he loved that playful smirk on his boyfriend's face.

Yes, it would be nice.

Still, their current situation was too complicated. Did Shion regret that they couldn't make their dreams into reality? Yes, maybe a little, but he was already more happy than he could wish for. He had Nezumi, his mother, good friends, a safe home and he could change people's lives for better thanks to his work. He thought about himself as a really lucky person by having all of this.

"Nezumi, you don't need to go to the wedding. I know that you aren't fond of such events. Mom and I can go alone if you're worried." Shion said to the older boy during the second day of Nezumi's strange behavior. The other boy rolled on their bed with a book in his hands and stared at him for a while.

"Alright. I would rather take a walk around the city that day or take long bath in our royal bathtub if his majesty wouldn't mind."

That was the only answer that Shion heard about the matter of the wedding invitation. Yet, it didn't change the situation.

Nezumi still hissed at Shion sharply from time to time as if he had done something wrong. A few minutes later the older boy always apologized to him, often adding a quick kiss on Shion's lips.

All questions about reason for such behavior were met with an answer of 'it wasn't anything important'.

Shion even asked his mom if she knew about any possible reasons for Nezumi's bad mood.

It seemed like it wasn't a work related problem since Karan also didn't know what was going on.

The only time when Nezumi relaxed and didn't show any sign of being worried or annoyed occurred while preparing for their trip. The silver eyes filled with excitation and happiness when Shion told his boyfriend that he already filled the papers about his vacation from work. They were going to leave the city without any problems so Nezumi already bought them both train tickets. Looking at the booking information Shion asked his boyfriend if their destination was the small town west from NO.6, but Nezumi, with a playful smirk, kept saying that it was a secret. Such words filled Shion's own heart with anticipation and he really looked forward to their first trip together.

Yet, even during moments Nezumi sometimes drifted off into his mind to again looked annoyed later.

That's why Shion started to worry if his happiness about traveling again made Nezumi regret his decision of staying with Shion. Maybe living in NO.6 wasn't enough for the dark haired boy? If that was the case then why didn't Nezumi want to tell him what was wrong?

Didn't Shion deserve more trust? Didn't they promise to never hide and lie to each other?

Worried and betrayed Shion wanted to use some more drastic measures and start an argument in order to find out why Nezumi was so annoyed about during the last passing days. After Shion took a bath the dark haired boy wasn't in their room. The white haired boy found his boyfriend in the kitchen.

His anger mixed with doubt. He wasn't really sure if he should start a fight or wait until Nezumi would tell Shion by himself what was wrong. He walked quietly as possible to open the door to see his boyfriend making himself an sandwich and giving pieces of the pastry and cheese to Cravat.

"...I know. He's just like that." Nezumi said to the mouse with warm voice that made Shion hide in the corridor. Such moments, when Nezumi talked to the old animal was rare, or maybe they weren't, but the older boy was too embarrassed to talk to Cravat when Shion was around.

"He's making me love him so much that I would do anything to see his smile. Even the most sappy and idiotic things that I wouldn't do normally..." The dark haired boy continued making Shion feel a little ashamed by listening such words about himself. He turned around and went back to their room. He really didn't want to spy on his boyfriend like this. What Shion heard already calmed him down and gave him a possible answer for the strange behavior of his boyfriend. It explained why at one moment Nezumi was happy, taking about their trip, books or anything else, then after he looked at Shion, his eyes filled with confusion. And why his mood became increasingly distressed.

Shion found reason a for all of this. Nezumi was thinking about something that could possibly make him happy.

Or maybe this was just another of Shion's hopes? Maybe once more Shion sought the most easy and comfortable answer for the situation?

In the end he decided to believe in Nezumi and trust him. Later that evening when they were inside the bed holding each other as usual, Shion was almost sure that he was right about his supposition. Nezumi wouldn't cuddle with him if there was another option.

"Nezumi..." Shion said lifting himself a little to look at his boyfriend.

"I'm so happy that you're, I wouldn't ever wish for more."

Nezumi looked at him for a few moments. Shion tried to make his boyfriend sure that he didn't need anything else to be happy. He wanted to take other the boy's worries away without revealing that he heard the talk between Cravat and his master at the kitchen.

Nezumi sighed loudly.

"I know that you wouldn't wish for more." The silver eyed boy answered in a confusing way. His voice hadn't cheered up like Shion wanted. Still, the strong arms pulled Shion down again making him land on his boyfriend chest. He could hear Nezumi's heart beat fast again. Still, Shion couldn't somehow shake the feeling that it beat quick because of worry instead of happiness.


This was madness.

Nezumi couldn't even recognize himself. If his younger self would meet him right now, Nezumi would probably get his ass kicked for turning into such sappy idiot. He couldn't shake off from his mind a memory of those two rings that were so perfect to give each other.

He even dreamed at night about such ridiculous things like this guy from Shion's work proposing to the white haired boy. Not to mention that Shion left Nezumi for that guy in the end of that dream. When he woke up his heart was beating like after the nightmare and he hated his subconscious for being this jealous and messed up.

He also made Shion more and more worried, he knew it. Nezumi was surprised that his attitude already hadn't lead to the fight between two of them.

He didn't know why Shion was really patient in this matter. But wasn't Shion like that when it was about Nezumi? Loving, caring and too forgiving?

Shouldn't Nezumi do something for the other boy to thank for all this warm feelings before someone else will give Shion love and the relationship he deserved?

Nezumi didn't care if he ever married or not, but if that would make Shion happy then why not do it? They already promised to always stay together so what's the difference? Those damn rings would make the airhead happy and they won't change anything in Nezumi's life. If he didn't mind that people called him a whore, then why would he be pissed of to be called Shion's husband?

Damn, that sounded bad, to compare those two classifications... It was making it sound like being Shion's husband was something gross. It wasn't, it felt right and maybe that was the point that worried Nezumi so much.

The smell of the burning cupcakes took him from the wave of his thoughts. He cursed loudly when Karan walked into bakery room to see the long haired boy taking the coal pastry from the oven.

"Sorry, I will pay for them, fucking shit!" he screamed when he burned his hand a little by wanting to take the messed up pastry from the tray too quickly. He quickly ran to the tap and poured cold water on his fingers. When he turned around Karan already stood beside him with a tube of ointment for burns.

"Thank you." Nezumi told quietly putting some of cold ointment on his hurting fingers.

"Nezumi can you sit down for a moment?" Karan said with a calm voice and made some space on the bakery's table. Nezumi sat down on the chair, but to his surprise the brown eyed woman didn't join him. She stood beside Nezumi looking at the boy with her hands leaning on her hips.

"So now, young man, explain yourself."

Nezumi didn't have much experience in situations like this but at that moment Karan looked like a mother scolding her child. She was waiting until the boy would confess his worries and it didn't look like Nezumi would able to walk away without answering her.

"It's nothing, as I told, you can cut the cost of ingredients from my payment."

"That won't fix the problem. Young man, I don't mind salty cream on Monday, buns left forgotten so they grow up big as football's balls on Wednesday, almost killing Mr. Yoshi with a too strong coffee yesterday, but you are acting like a girl during her period for a week now. Both, me and Shion are starting to worry about you."

"It's really nothing. Just one silly thing I can't stop thinking about. Don't worry about it." Nezumi answered hoping that Karan will let it go. But the woman stood still and looked at him seriously.

"If it was nothing then you wouldn't look so worried. Nezumi, you are the part of family. It's normal to share our problems with each other so we can think of a solution together."

"It's not a problem, it's just something I never considered thinking about before. It's... Just idiotic! I'm not like the people who grow up inside the city. I was taught to act differently, to not trust anyone, to not give my heart to others and fight hard to survive the next day. Not to do such silly things." Nezumi started to explain the feelings that were driving him crazy for the week now. He didn't even realize how much he told Karan until he finished surprising even himself. Anyway, instead of calming down Shion's mother, Karan looked at him even more concerned. Nezumi sighed loudly giving up. Now he for sure couldn't just walk away from that place without a good explanation and lying wasn't an option.

Screw it. He already lost a long time ago when he met Shion. He will go for it. He will let that sappy idea win even if it will lead him to the deepest parts of hell in the end.

"Karan, Ma'am. What do you think about me and your son exchanging wedding rings? It's not like we can reveal our relationship now and sign the proper papers, but maybe at last this would make Shion happy." Nezumi kept his eyes locked down on the floor while he spoke. He knew that Karan really liked him, but many times Nezumi was surprised that she accepted his and Shion's relationship so easily. It wasn't about that they both were guys, but rather that Shion deserved someone better for the rest of his life.

When he raised his eyes Karan already smiled at him with a watery eye's. She walked closer to the sitting boy and embraced him as much as his sitting position let them.

"That would make Shion delighted for sure. I am very glad that you told me about this. You were always a precious part of my son's live since that night nine years ago. He always used to say your name from time to time with dreamy eyes. I often teased him asking if he fell in love. He refused, but I knew that I was right. He always loved you and I'm glad that he found someone who returned his feelings."

Hearing those small words of blessing for their future Nezumi lowered his head to hide the big blush covering his cheeks. When Karan let him go his face still didn't recover its normal color. The woman smiled brightly to the sitting boy.

"But, Nezumi, I got the impression from your earlier talk that you only want to do it to make Shion happy. What about you? You made it sound like such a decision is uncomfortable to you. It shouldn't be like this. You also should be happy while making such step in your relationship, or else it would be meaningless. You don't have to push yourself into something you don't want to do." The woman said and this time she also sat down behind their working table. Nezumi didn't expect such words from Shion's mother. She always surprised him as so many times she didn't only think about her son, but also about Nezumi. He often received the same amount of care like her birth son and that was always a strange feeling. Yet, it wasn't unpleasant one for sure.

He started to think it all over. It would be cowardly to take back his idea right now, when he already said it aloud to Karan. But she was right. If he will do that only for Shion's sake it would be pointless in the end. When Shion would find out that Nezumi lied about his feelings during asking for marriage he would be more hurt than happy.

Nezumi never loved anyone like he did Shion. He didn't think that he ever trusted another person like he did Shion. That white haired boy was always the most important person in his life. Nezumi couldn't even imagine to love someone more than this natural boy.

When the another person is so important to you, isn't it normal to tell them those silly confessions of wanting to be together until death take them apart? To giving each other a touchable proof of their feelings?

Nezumi imagined them to have matching rings and he was a little shocked how nice it felt. For the first time in his life he would have an item that represents only love, belonging and all other bright feelings. It was not like him to be this sappy, but waking up with Shion's hands around his chest with a golden ring around his finger sounded so good. Not mention his own hand wearing exactly the same jewelry, proof of that he wasn't alone anymore. They wouldn't be just people who will love each other. The would become a couple who wish to never be apart.

That wasn't the only thing they both would gain by being married. They would show those annoying co-workers that Shion belonged to someone already and that person was Nezumi. He could see disappointed faces of all those who wanted to be with the white haired boy.

Thinking about his boyfriend's work brang Nezumi back on Earth. Shion wouldn't probably want to wear the ring in the end. It was the easy way to expose their relationship. It wouldn't be so surprising. It would be nice if that idiotic play in hiding their relationship could finally end, but Shion's situation was more important. The little pain in Nezumi's chest at the idea of Shion rejecting the wedding ring was something he wasn't prepared for.

He wanted Shion to wear that ring, to at last keep it close if he wouldn't be able to wear it because of his current position in committee.

Nezumi didn't mind trying to be silly this time, to be normal like Shion used to say. That such a cheesy future could be Nezumi's reality instead of the one where he couldn't even trust anyone. When he felt never ending fear of getting hurt by the others.

He wanted to give one of those rings he saw inside the shop to Shion, see him smile... and maybe, in future, they would be able to sign the proper papers. This was the final conclusion inside Nezumi's heart.

Probably Gran who raised him wouldn't be happy that he become so weak, but this was his life. One day such wishes could bring him more suffering than ever experienced, but he decided to a chose future with Shion along with everything it would offer.

Now Nezumi understood what it meant to be hopelessly in love for the first time in his life.

"I want to do it. I want to marry your son. If Shion will accept my proposition then I would be really happy." Saying those words Nezumi knew that he must have smiled just like Shion does, brightly and tender, but he couldn't help it.

"He will for sure." Karan beamed back to him making a slow preparations to head back to the bakery's shop. It was good for them that this whole situation took place while the most less occupied hour of the day or else some customers would get really annoyed by now. Karan took some croissants while Nezumi started to prepare new cupcakes in place of the burned ones.

"Well, now when you two will get married I hope you will call me 'mom' more often." The brown haired woman said as she leaved making Nezumi red on his face again. For a moment he again consideed if all of this was good idea before he smiled again.

Shion and Karan welcomed him in their home with open arms. Now he going to be one who will prove them that he really wanted to become part of this cheesy little family. It was the right step for him to make.


The next day Karan noticed Nezumi preparing to go out outside during his break. She asked boy if he needed to borrow some money, but the boy thanked her and said that he had some savings. She knew where he was going. In the next two hours he was back with a little black box. Maybe she shouldn't stare so much at the embarrassed boy, but she couldn't stop to feel curious about Nezumi's choice. After a moment of reflection the dark haired boy gave her little box to check out, like her opinion could decide if he can marry her son.

Karan found this whole scene heart warming. Still, sometimes she couldn't feel a little sad for the silver eyed boy, specially while moments like this one.

Nezumi didn't had anyone. His parents were dead, she knew that he didn't had any survived relatives. The boy didn't had anyone to share his worries, doubts, decisions or happy moments. He couldn't even get his parents blessing in such wonderful moment – when he decided to spend rest of his life with person he loved.

Nezumi was a good child. Sometimes moody, narcissistic, ready to tease her son in every possible moment. Strong, yet so fragile sometimes. He was intelligent and caring for the people he loved even if he had problems with being honest to his own feelings.

Because all of this Karan wished to somehow give this boy at last a little piece of what having a family feels like. Maybe this was crossing a line from her side. Maybe she shouldn't let herself think about Nezumi as her own son and the man who was standing before her was too old to be treat like a child, but if that was the case then would Nezumi wait for her opinion right now? If he didn't trust Karan would he tell her about his worries over the idea of wedding rings?

From what Shion told her about Nezumi the answer was 'no'. The silver eyed boy wouldn't act like this if he didn't trust her. Until now her actions were right. She was sure of it once she looked at Shion's bright smile and Nezumi's eyes filled with happiness when three of them spent time together.

Not wanting to keep Nezumi nervous any longer, Karan opened the box to see two rings inside them. They didn't look ordinary, the engraving on the surface wasn't very common so it was easy to guess that the people who wear them belong to each other. She smiled tenderly at this jealous side of Nezumi.

"They are perfect. When are you planning to exchange them?" Karan asked Nezumi giving him precious set back.

"Well, I'm thinking about doing it while our trip, there's a perfect spot where we will stop to camp. I think that place will be good for an occasion like this." Nezumi answered Karan, who was waiting for her reaction.

Well, Nezumi went straight to the wedding, skipping the engagement. It would be more expected for Nezumi and Shion to exchange their rings with the company of their families and friends. But Karan could understood Nezumi's choice. He wanted to make that moment special and celebration with only two of them. Or maybe Nezumi was a little shy to do it in front of the other people.

"It's a nice idea. Just don't lose them somewhere..." Karan started "...and once you get back I will prepare for you two a little party. It's not a wedding without a cake and some close friends. I'm not accepting any refusal on this matter since you're going to marry my only son, young man."

Nezumi sighed tiredly before he smiled back at Karan and nodded.

In the end Nezumi gave Karan the box with rings to hide it inside her room until the day of the trip. The long haired boy didn't want for Shion to find them before the time comes. Karan's room was the only place where the white haired boy didn't help to clean.

Walking back to her bedroom, Karan couldn't stop herself from looking again inside the box. She was very glad that Shion found happiness. Her son and that boy had gone through enough, it was only right for them to find their own piece of heaven now.

Two days later Shion sat with her in the kitchen with a confused face. He was waiting for Nezumi. The boys planned to go on one last shopping before their trip after Shion would come back from work. Their going out was delayed by the bag with flour that tear apart covering both Karan and Nezumi with white dust. Karan cleaned herself first since the silver eyed boy volunteered to take care of the mess. Nezumi only managed to finish cleaning the bakery before Shion came back and now the older boy was taking his deserved shower.

"Is something troubling you?" Karan asked her son after a while. Shion moved his head smiling a little towards his mother.

"No, it's nothing. I just don't get it. Nezumi acted very strange this past week, but since the last two days everything went back to normal. I can't find a reason for such change. I tried to find a to way to fix Nezumi's problem, but no matter what I said nothing seemed to work."

Karan couldn't stop her face from smiling. She was thinking about those two wonderful boys and the rings hid inside her wardrobe.

"You know something, right mom?" Asked Shion looking at his mother with hint of curiosity.

"Well, he was little 'love sick', but I think he found a perfect solution for that." Karan explained cryptically causing Shion's jaw to open. The playful smile that brighten his face told Karan that her son isn't going to give up so easily after such answer.

"Mom." He pleaded in a childish way making Karan chuckle tenderly.

"I won't tell you anything more. Nezumi needs to tell you the reason by himself."

Shion looked a little disappointed, but he nodded with his his head. He sat down back on the kitchen chair.

"Yes, you are right. But, it wasn't anything bad? That thing Nezumi worried about."

Karan went closer to her son, she put the hair from his forehead and she kissed the uncovered place like in time when Shion was still a teenager. When she raised back Shion was all red on his face.

"No dear, it wasn't anything bad." She said looking warmly at her child "You grew up so fast. I don't even know when. But, I know that you will be fine. You both will be alright since you have each other."

"Mom? Is som..." Shion stood slowly back, his voice was full of concern.

"Shion! Are you ready?" Nezumi's voice from the corridor stopped the crimson eyed boy from asking his mother if something was wrong. Karan patted her son's shoulder before she went back to making herself tea.

"Have fun shopping. Oh, and don't forget to buy cheese on the way. We ate the last piece of it this morning." Maybe the bright smile on Karan's face calmed down Shion. The white haired boy squeezed lightly on Karan's hand.

"Alright, mom I'll get cheese." Shion turned around ready to go when he looked again at Karan "Mom, you have us. Me and Nezumi. We will be around for you, always."

"Shion! The shop with tents will close before we get there if you don't hurry up!" Nezumi shouted before walking into kitchen to check what was taking Shion so long.

"I'm coming. See you later mom." Shion waved for a goodbye following after Nezumi.

"Did you forget that they close our desired shop at 6 PM?" The dark haired boy asked annoyed, changing his shoes at the little corner of their corridor. While pouring boiling water into her cup Karan was still able to hear typical for her boys conversation that sounded like harmless argument.

"Pardon me Nezumi, it was me who was waiting for you until now. I hope you took your ID unit."

"No. You want to buy a tent, you pay for it. I didn't have any tents during my travels and I somehow managed to stay alive." The dark haired boy answered with a proud voice.

"Oh, then I won't stop you from sleeping outside while I will use the tent." For a moment everything went silent. Probably Nezumi wasn't prepared for such a comeback from the white haired boy.

"Hmmm, I think you would miss me. It would be waste for me to stay outside, don't you think?."

After that Karan went into corridor to drink her tea inside her room and read some book that the boys recommended her earlier. She managed to catch a glimpse of Shion blushing and Nezumi smirking with satisfaction after a successful tease.

She was able to see from hers bedroom's window both boys walking down the street with smiles on their faces. She hoped that their love will never disappear because it was the best type of 'sickness'.
