Chapter 8
Love Tested
Miyu pulled Yamato and Rei away sensing that it was now private time for the two lovebirds. Yamato looked like he wanted to kill Yuuya, but of course Miyu would never let him do such a thing.
"He's taking advantage of her!"
"By comforting her because he loves her?"
"Yes!"
"You would really break your little sister's heart like that?"
Yamato didn't say anything, and Miyu just giggled.
Rei mumbled a goodbye and left for work. Which left Miyu and Yamato to have their own lovely dovey time.
*~*~*~*~*~*
The next day all of Shibuya knew that the world's greatest gal, Ran Kotobuki, had a new boyfriend. A new boyfriend that she was actually in love with.
Guys gave Yuuya dirty looks as they passed by the couple as they ate at their normal hang out, but he didn't notice a thing. He was totally engulfed with his Ran.
Yuuya held her hand as they talked about what they should do for the rest of the summer. They had only gotten a quarter of the way through July when a figure burst in through the front door and stopped their conversation.
"Oh my Ran! I have returned for you!"
It was Tatsuki... and he had flowers?
"Wha—what?" Ran asked in wonderment.
Tatsuki grabbed her hand away from Yuuya and got down on his knees, tears streaming down his face. "My Ran! I have come back for you. I am willing to take you back."
Yuuya jumped up in a fit of anger. "What the heck do you think you're doing Monkey Boy!"
Tatsuki didn't turn away from Ran, "Getting my girlfriend back."
"She's not your girlfriend!"
"My Ran! Tell him the truth. I am your boyfriend, right?"
Ran sat there in silence looking soulfully at Yuuya. She loved Yuuya, but Tatsuki was the most popular guy in Shibuya, wasn't he? No, Yuuya was in those Gal magazines, and Tatsuki had been the one to break up with her.
"My Ran? Won't you tell him?"
Ran ignored Tatsuki, stood up, took Yuuya's hand and said, "Let's go Yuuya."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Thankfully Tatsuki didn't follow them out. Ran curled up close to Yuuya. "I'm sorry Yuuya. I didn't know what to say to him. It was just so sudden. I'm sorry!"
Yuuya laughed at her in a loving way and brushed her bangs out of her face. "I know. I understand that, I guess I should have known this was going to happen. I guess I just thought it would take a day or two for him to get wind of it. But I think that you handled it just fine, my Ran."
Ran blushed, and Yuuya brought the conversation back to were it had been before Tatsuki had burst into the restaurant.
*~*~*~*~*
Tatsuki glared at the couple as they left arm in arm. Mami wasn't going to like this at all. Maybe Ran wasn't as stupid as she acted, but he was going to have to report the failure to Mami. He would have to try harder next time, he was sure of that.
