Like they say, it's like we escaped the frying pan only to land into the fire. What could possibly be going on? These thoughts raced through Takumi's mind as he and Akira made their way to meet the Student Council President.

Unknowing to Takumi, Akira too had similar thoughts. OMG? Everyone thinks we are GAY! NO! This is so NOT good … I'm not even a guy and it is already this bad, it must be 100 times worst for him, poor Takumi, what are people going to think of him?

They made their way to see Shizuru in silence, they were too deep in thought to even notice the hordes of raging fangirls being held back by Mai and Tate. Mai for one was extremely protective of her little bro and who not allow him to be subject of rumors, even though they were true.

Once they reached the Student Council Office, they entered while Mai and Tate kept the crowded that followed them at bay (mostly raging fangirls, with a few other curious patrons)

"Ah Tokiha-kun, Okuzaki-kun please have a seat." Shizuru said with a cup of freshly brewed tea in her hands.

Haruka slammed her hands on the table and was about to say something before being silenced by Yukino. Reito who was also present only smiled at the pair as he sipped his tea.

"Well I'll get straight to the point, I prefer not to beat around the bush…" Shizuru paused while Akira and Takumi gulped.

"I'm sure the both of you have noticed the pictures around the school, because of that many baseless rumors are floating around. Therefore, I would like to get things straightened out. Are the two of you an item?" asked Shizuru in a stern tone.

"Erm… well … we …" Akira stuttered.

"YES WE ARE" Takumi said as-a-matter-a-factly.

The whole room fell silent.

"Well then Reito-san it looks like you owe me 5000 yen." Shizuru said in a happy-go-lucky tone.

"HUH?" the two boys said in unison.

"Hai … I should have known not to doubt with your instincts." Reito answered while lifting his hands in surrender.

"Those to nut jobs bet that both of you would turn out to be gay!" Haruka managed to free herself from Yukino.

Both Akira and Takumi fell off their chairs and hit the floor with a loud 'thud'. At that moment Mai entered the room with Nao in front of her.

"It's her fault that there are pictures everywhere." Mai said accusingly.

"Hey, hey I'm innocent," said Nao trying to defend herself. Though the fact that she was trying to control her laughter did not help her case.

Just as Takumi and Akira were trying to pick themselves up, the door burst open and swarms of girls and a few guys rushed in and bombarded the pair with tons of questions while Nao took out her trusty camera. Many people showed support but a few guys watched from a far, jealous and enraged.

"This is only the beginning." One of them muttered.

But that is another story, Takumi and Akira were now openly a couple and they were happy.
