Matsuo watched as her friends laughed and joked about as she ate her lunch, Raiden sat beside her watching in amusement. Matsuo was still thinking about that morning when the couple had that argument at the front gate. Does this mean that if I were to confess he would turn me down? He's always saying I act like a child does that mean I'm too immature for him? "Matsu?" Raiden called when he noticed the vacant expression on her face. Matsuo shook herself out of it and turned to look at Raiden "You okay?"

"Yea I'm fine, why do you ask?" Matsuo hoping Raiden wouldn't see through her lie

"You've been sitting all too silently for you looking like you'd rather be elsewhere" A grin spread across the boy's face "Could it be a boy?" Raiden asked teasingly. Matsuo tensed and Raiden's smile dropped "No way, tell me about him"

"You got it wrong!" Matsuo protested meanwhile everyone else had caught on to the conversation and decided to leave them be.

"C'mon Matsu. Who is it? I don't want you ending up being the new Haruka"

"I resent that!" Haruka cried with a huff and Raiden snickered. Matsuo stood but Raiden grabbed her hand and dragged her off himself before she could run away. He had dragged her to an abandoned corridor and pinned her against the wall

"Matsu clearly there is something wrong. Did this guy do something to you?" Raiden asked his tone serious and firm. Matsuo shook her head "Would you tell me if he did?" Matsuo nodded and it seemed to ease Raiden enough for him to back off "Then tell me what's wrong, you've been acting strange all day"

"Nothing is wrong, Rai, I was just thinking"

"And that's why you looked ready to bolt" Raiden snapped

"You don't know that" Matsuo huffed

"Are you kidding me? Me, Hitoshi, Haruka and Kaori all grew up together and you're going to tell me I don't know when you're upset" Raiden pointed out. Matsuo nodded stubbornly "I'm trying to help you Matsuo, I could help you fix whatever is upsetting you"

"Well sorry to burst your bubble but there is nothing"

"Fine! Be that way! I'm sorry I asked" And like that Raiden stormed off and Matsuo let her tears fall. There was no way she could tell him. Once she had calmed down she moved to head back to the class room. Once she arrived she ran in Raiden again. He went to open his mouth, to apologise for getting upset but Matsuo just averted her gave and darted into the room much to his dismay. Hitoshi came up behind him

"What happened?" Hitoshi asked

"Matsu was upset and I was just so worried because it seemed bad, but I think I may have pushed to hard" Raiden confessed. Haruka smiled sympathetically at her friend and patted his arm Ï want to apologise but now she won't even look at me… I really messed it up"

Matsuo Yuki Takano

As soon as Matsuo entered her house she went searching for one of her parents only to find her father in the kitchen. "I'm home" Matsuo called and Masamune turned around to greet his daughter only for the girl to come crashing into him surprising him. Matsuo immediately started crying again in her father's arms, Masamune instantly reacted to try and calm her down

"What's wrong Lass?" Masamune asked hugging his daughter tightly

"Me and Raiden got into a fight because I was over thinking something and I refused to tell him what it was and he got mad" Matsuo cried. Masamune tried his best to calm her down as he guided her back into the living room and sat her on the couch. Masamune rested so he was sitting against the arm of the chair spread out along the couch, Matsuo sitting on his lap with her face buried in his chest. Sazuna , hearing her sister's cries, came out to investigate only to see that her father had it under control and dart back to her room. Masamune shook his head at his youngest before focusing on Matsuo again.

"Matsu, c'mon calm down I'm sure it's not that bad" Masamune soothed.

"It is" Matsuo sobbed. Masamune sighed has he held his crying daughter only for Ritsu to walk in seeing the scene.

"Oh Matsu-chan" Ritsu dropped her stuff and came over to sit beside her daughter and Husband.

"Her and Raiden are fighting" Masamune explained.

"Matsu-chan why don't you have a nap or just try and wind down. I'm sure you'll be able to think of a way to fix it once you calm down" Ritsu hummed "Once your head is clear you will feel much better"

Matsuo stood and headed off to her room. Masamune looked at his wife "Were you this bad after our little misunderstanding?"

"Oh I was much worse" Ritsu answered and Masamune's eyes shone with guilt, Ritsu lent down and kissed him lovingly "But that was years ago now so don't worry about it. Matsu will be okay"

"I hope so, she rarely cries like that" Masamune huffed before standing up again and heading to the kitchen once again.

Matsuo Yuki Takano

Matsuo just decided she would avoid Raiden for the time being. She couldn't help it, she had acted so stupid and she was too stubborn for her own good. Perhaps my feelings will go away and then there would be no problem. We can go back to being friends without me being an awkward mess. Then we can laugh this whole this off. Matsuo had been hyper aware of everything around her careful not to be caught by surprise. It had worked for a week so far but it was no use. She was so far gone and she couldn't stand it.

She hadn't seen her group of friends in school that entire time. If Raiden was with them she wasn't and little did she know it was taking a toll on the boy. Raiden on the other hand had been trying to talk to the girl even tried to sneak up on the girl only for him to be catch and she would run. Their friend group was becoming frustrated but did nothing to interfere knowing that they would work it out. They always did.

However today would be different. Raiden decided to corner the girl this time around even if it meant chasing her. However at lunch time he didn't have to really chase her. He found her curled up in a ball in her normal spot fast asleep. "There you are"

Matsuo stirred at his voice the jumped sitting up and backing away only for her back to hit a stack of chairs. Matsuo didn't say anything but was pleading with her eyes for him to leave

"I'm not going anywhere till we talk and that means we both speak" Raiden stated firmly before sitting next to her and pulling her into his side. Matsuo kept her mouth shut and didn't try to escape knowing that the reason behind the move was to stop her from running. "And honestly, I don't care if we don't end up going to class"

Oh crap
