Dom: Btw, I'm starting college on Monday and I have a tough schedule. Like being stuck in chemistry for 3 hours on Monday and Wednesday with only 1 and a half hours on Tuesday and Thursday...stuff like that... I think I'm gonna die so please pray for me and wish me luck. Anyway, this means that I'm probably (it will happen) going to be inactive since my free days are practically on Sundays so yeah. Seriously, the minimum minutes of my subject is 90. 90! *sighs* Well, back to the story

"Uh-huh," I-Pin looked at her longtime friend a blank stare.
"What? It doesn't bother me," Lambo crosses his arms in defiant. He stared at his work on his desk before releasing a sigh.
"Why are you being so mopey then?" I-Pin rose a fine brow at the stubborn cow-teen.
The green-eyed boy stayed silent before turning to his friend, tears brimming his eyes.
I-Pin, who was shocked at the great change, took a couple steps back.
"Because! Because of Kazuo-sempai! Because of that stupid date! Because of that...that girl! Because of these stupid feelings," he sniffled.
I-Pin gained a sad look before embracing her friend, "Sshh, Lambo. It's okay."
Lambo buried his face in her neck, "No, it's not. It's his fault. It's his stupid fault that I can't get him out my head! It's his fault for being so cute and cool and smart and just the perfect being that walked on earth...but it's my fault that I fell for guy who's way out my league," he mumbled, brokenly.
"Hey, it's not your fault that you fell for him. Look, why don't we take a break and buy some ice cream?" I-Pin smiled at him.
Lambo returned the smile with a minuscule one of his own, he nodded, "I'd like that."
~O*~O*~O*~O*~O*~O*
As the two teens entered the small shop, a bell dinged to announce their presence.
"Hello. Welcome to our shop," they greeted warmly.
The duo nodded and went over the counter to state their orders. When they finished, they sat down to a table by the windows.
"Here's what we're going to do. We are going to have today. No worries. No stress. Just fun. YOU are not going to think about Kazuo-sempai or anything related to him, all right?" I-Pin ordered.
The boy across from her merely blinked, but nodded. Smiling, he told her, "Arigato, I-Pin-chan. For doing this."
I-Pin beamed. However, it was short-lived as she saw the two reasons why the teen across from her is glum. And, right now, those two reasons are crossing the streets with the girl hanging off the boy's arm as she babble her annoying little head off, but the worst of all, her voice held the school idol's clear interest as he listened with great rapture. Smiling, laughing, nodding at the appropriate moments.
Lambo noticed her staring and turned to look as well when I-Pin suddenly grabbed his face and practically shoved the menu on his face, "I-Pin-chan! What the hell?!"
"Uh, um," I-Pin stammered. No, he was not going to let them ruin their plans today. "I just remembered that they are serving crepes now. Why don't you choose a flavor and try it out, hmm?" Thankfully the couple disappeared from their view. She assumed that they went inside one of the shops nearby.
Lambo blinked at her before turning to the small menu on the table. He nodded in approval while his eyes scanned the items.
In this shop, you can order by counter or a server will take your order. It is entirely up to the customers.
When Lambo finally decided on what to order, I-Pin stood up from her seat and went to the counter to inform of their additional food. The worker just smiled and told them it was an excellent choice to try out their crepes.
Though wouldn't employees usually do that? I-Pin guessed that they would be the judge of that.
A tap on her shoulder made her turn around. It was Lambo.
"Yes?"
"I'll just go to the bathroom."
"You didn't need to tell me that."
Lambo just shrugged before going on his way.
When Lambo was out of sight, the bell dinged, announcing there were new customers who entered the premises.
"Hello! Welcome to-Kazuo? Haha, longtime no see, my friend!" The worker by the doors greeted him cheerfully.
I-Pin froze when she heard the name, 'Not good. Not good.' She thought.
"Yeah, well, it's been busy for the past months. Sorry I haven't been dropping by," the girl heard her senior told the worker, who is apparently a close friend of his. "Let's hang out this weekend if you're not busy. Bring friends if you want. The more, the merrier," he chuckled.
"Um, can I just cancel those sundaes? I'll just get the crepes right now and we'll be taking it home." I-Pin said in a hurry.
The worker behind the counter blinked, but complied with the requests. She has no right to question her customers.
"I-Pin-chan?" said girl cringed when she heard the voice they—well, technically only her—are trying to avoid. "What are you doing here? Out on a date?"
The girl turned around and was met by a cheerful teenager with beautiful sapphire blue eyes with just the right amount of silver specks in them and raven locks that were kept in a messy, yet attractive style. Another notable thing about him, aside from his exotic eye color, was his height. He's just like Takeshi-nii-san when he was his age.
Tall.
Really tall.
The braided-haired girl just meekly smiled at him before her eyes slid over to the girl who has her arms wrapped around the male before her.
She begrudgingly admits that the girl before her is beautiful. Gorgeous even. Full pink lips, pert nose, ocean-blue eyes, long blue-black hair that was pulled back in a simple, but at the same time intricate side-braid. Her skin tone was pale contrasting with the light tan her companion has. As well as her height. She barely reaches his chin!
Then again, the unknown girl is taller than her. How sad.
"Hi," the girl greeted her brightly. There was a small dimple at her left cheek. I-Pin also noticed the braces attached to her teeth, but it was clear so it was a bit hard to spot unless looking closely enough. The device should have made her look nerdy/dorky, but she pulled it off.
"H-Hello," I-Pin returned the greeting shyly.
"Miss, your order," the girl behind her tapped her on the shoulder.
I-Pin whirled around and took the packages as well as the money from the cancelled orders. "Arigato," she smiled at her before dashing off.
That was the plan until a hand shot up and took hold of her wrist, "Wait!" A voice called out.
"A-Ano, do you need anything Kazuo-sempai?"
Kazuo just grinned and looked at his date and the girl just smiled and nodded, "Would you like to join us?"
"Uh, Kazuo-sempai as much as I would like to, I wouldn't want to be a bother to you guys' date," her eyes searching around for any signs d Lambo. She prayed to Kami, he wouldn't stumble upon this scene.
It was the raven-haired beauty's turn to laugh, "We wouldn't have offered if it minds us. Come on," she unwrapped her arms from Kazuo in favor of wrapping it around the younger girl's.
The trio went to walk over a booth. I-Pin and the still unknown girl sat down to one side with the older girl in the inner part. Across from her was Kazuo. The space across from the I-Pin was unoccupied, assuming her "date" would sit.
"So who's the lucky guy? Or girl." The beauty propped her arm on the table and rested her chin there.
"Um, I'm not really on a date. We just went out for fresh air to get some things out of our minds. We're just friends," I-Pin mumbled softly.
The other raised an elegant brow, "Uh-huh. So two teenagers going out. Claiming they are only friends. In a cafe where first dates usually happen. Wow, you're right. It's not a date! You're just in denial!"
I-Pin blushed.
Kazuo just chuckled, "So who's the lucky person then?"
"I-Pin?" A boyish voice was heard behind Kazuo and he craned his neck towards the source.
"Bovino-kun?"
"Lambo-kun?"
I-Pin then sent him an apologetic smile and averted her eyes.
Kazuo's date smiled at Lambo and the younger boy couldn't help, but to feel guilt for feeling resentment towards her. The older girl looks nice and kind and just perfect.
Perfect for Kazuo.
Besides, Kazuo wouldn't date anyone who's below his standards. Like him.
"Bovino-kun, sit down next to Kazuo-kun! We'll have a double date!" The beauty exclaimed.
Lambo walked towards them slowly and sat down.
"Kazuo-kun doesn't bite, Bovino-kun. Scooch on over!"
"Oi, kora!" Kazuo called out. There was a reddening tint that splash across his nose that made the other two curious, but then...
She huffed, "What Kazuo? Just telling the truth."
An awkward and tense silence followed. However, the unknown beauty was the only one who wasn't affected by it. She was merely looking out the window, watching the cars zoomed by though there was a slight furrow on her brows indicating she was a bit annoyed.
"A-Ano, sempai," I-Pin uttered softly, "What's your name?"
The beauty blinked before a small smile appeared in her lips, "My name? Haha, my name is-"
The girl was cut off in her introductions as a server put two plates in front of Kazuo and his date.
Each plate had two pieces of crepe on it, drizzled with chocolate syrup.
"One regular strawberry crepe with chocolate syrup and one strawberry and cream cheese also with chocolate syrup as usual. Do you need anything else?"
"Iie, that would be all," Kazuo have the waitress a smile, who blushed before scurrying away.
"Tch. You should stop smiling," the eldest girl grumbled as she took a bite of her crepe.
"Why?"
"Cause someone will be jealous!"
"Like you?" Kazuo leaned towards his date.
The other rolled her ocean blue eyes and shoved her fork that has crepe on it in Kazuo's mouth, "Loser."
The two freshman just stared at them, feeling out of place.
Kazuo's date noticed and pushed the taller boy back to his seat, "Don't mind us. Kazuo can be a bit of an idiot."
"Hey!"
"You know I love you," she winked before leaning across the table and planted a kiss at the corner of Kazuo's lips.
And that was all it took for Lambo to run away from them, tears springing up in his eyes.
'Why? Why do I have to like him?' He thought as he covered his face with his forearm.
"Lambo-kun!"
"Bovino-kun!"
I-Pin was about to follow her childhood friend when a hand wrapped around her wrist and made her stay seated. She turned towards then person and saw the unknown beauty smiling at her knowingly, "Let them be."
"Huh?"
The beauty motioned for her to sit down, "I haven't introduce myself yet," her eyes had a certain sparkle. "Watashi wa-"
~*O~*O~*O~*O~*O
"Oi, Lambo!" Kazuo chased after the younger teen. "Oi, kora!" He released an annoyed huffed before tackling him to the ground.
Good thing they were already in the park when Kazuo decided to tackle the younger boy.
"Let go of me, sempai!" Lambo struggled against the restraints.
Kazuo, known for his impatience and quick temper, was fed up and faced the squirming teen towards him, "Will you stop? Why did you run away?" He demanded as he straddled the other boy.
"Just let me go, sempai, please," Lambo pleaded.
"Not until you tell me why you ran away and why you are crying," there was still the demanding tone, but his voice was gentle. Soft. He wiped the tears streaming down the green-eyed boy with the pad of his thumbs.
"I was jealous, okay?!" Lambo finally told him. "I'm jealous of that girl. I'm jealous because she's so freaking beautiful! I'm jealous because she's so nice! I'm jealous because she has your attention, but most of all, I'm jealous because you like HER and not me..." his last couple words was barely a whisper.
"That's why I ran away and apparently, cried," he laughed sardonically. "I like you sempai. I really do and I did everything to make you notice me and when you finally did, I find out you have a girlfriend. I shouldn't be surprised, but it still hurts," he didn't look at him so he was surprised when a pair of lips covered his.
Lambo's eyes went wide. He kissed back albeit shyly.
When they parted, Lambo blurted out, "What about your girlfriend?"
"I wasn't even aware that I have a girlfriend," he leaned down, letting their noses touch.
"B-But they said-" Lambo stuttered as he blushed a dark shade of red.
Kazuo let out a teasing smirk, "So they know more about my life than I do? Don't believe everything you hear."
"Then who was that girl?" Lambo asked him softly. "And why were you guys acting like a couple?"
"We're always like that though I admit she was more affectionate than normal," the older teen hummed thoughtfully.
"Why?"
"Because she was making you jealous," Kazuo smirked again, "It obviously worked."
"Why?"
"Because I like you too."
"How can I believe you? This can be just a well thought out plan-" he got interrupted when Kazuo kissed him again.
"If you haven't noticed, I never had a girlfriend or a boyfriend because I never liked someone, but now I do and it's you. I mean it. I don't fuck with other people's feelings."
Lambo stared at him, searching for any signs of deceit. When he found none, a grin broke out his face. Wrapping his arms around Kazuo's neck, he pulled him down for their lips to meet again.
Kazuo shifted their position. He sat on the ground with Lambo straddling him. The younger one's arms were still around his neck while his were around his waist.
"You never answered my question," Lambo pouted at him.
Another smirk was playing on Kazuo's lips when he spotted the slight jealousy in Lambo's tone, "Baka~" he drawled out teasingly, "Kagome is my twin sister."
