A/N: Hey guys… so the new Strobe Edge chapter came out (23) and I fangirled over Andou-kun…although he wasn't in it as much. So this chapter had to be written, even though my writing is dead. Eventually I'll probably go back and rewrite the first chapter…although it'll probably take forever.

Sorry if he's OOC…. I fail at keeping characters in character. And Ame's a weirdo…all of my OCs are weirdos and not developed, hehe.

Oh well, enjoy X3.

I sat down next to him and pulled out my notebook. Takumi-san kept the paper towel against his forehead.

"I haven't seen you before—are you new?" He said.

"Nope, I guess I just keep to myself."

"Aw, you shouldn't. It's fun to get to know people." I shrugged, finishing up one of my designs. "It is!" He said when I didn't answer.

"If they're good people."

"But you don't know if they're good people unless you get to know them."

"True. But I'm lazy." I poked out my tongue at him and grabbed the paper towel from him.

"Hey!" I had fun trying to keep it away from him for a while, but he eventually snatched it back. He placed it on top of his head (which seemed pointless…) and leaned over my notebook. "What're those?"

"Tattoo designs."

"Can I see?" He held out his hand for the notebook and I gave it to him. He flipped through the pages and to my horror turned to the beginning.

"Those aren't good…" I said. I had done them when I was just starting to become interested in tattoos. I waited for him to laugh, because my drawings resembled amorphous blobs… but he only smiled.

"You worked hard." Takumi-san said, handing me the notebook back.

"Thanks. You played good."

We fell into idle chat for a while and eventually I laid down next to him.

"Let's tell a story using the clouds!" I said.

"How?"

"Try to find one that looks like something—that can be the main character. And then find one that looks like a place or an object and then try to create a story. I do this with Midori all the time."

"…That one looks like a peanut."

"Where?"

"There." Takumi-san pointed, but I still couldn't see it.

"…Did you hit your head?"

"No! See, it's right there. Next to the one that looks like a tree."

"I still don't—"

"Ame-chan!" Midori's voice interrupted me. I quickly stood up.

"Midori-chan—I thought you went home."

"I diiiid, but my mom said there's this movie she wants to take us to sometime, so I came back to ask you." She shot a glance at Takumi-san and me. He rose and brushed the grass off his pants.

"Uh… this is—" I started.

"I'm Midori!" Midori said, beaming at Takumi-san.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Andou Takumi." [A/N: In Japan that's how they introduce themselves… so I decided to become authentic…just now…And Midori didn't do that cuz she's crazy…]

"Hi! So, did Ame-chan ask you out?"

"Midori-chan!" I yelled, quickly slapping a hand over her mouth. She struggled, giggling like crazy. "Sorry, Takumi-san. She's nuts." But he was laughing, thankfully not bothered by it.

"Well, I should get home. We should finish that story sometime." He said.

"I'd like that." I said, still keeping my hand firmly over Midori-chan's mouth. Takumi-san waved and walked away. When he was out of sight, I released Midori-chan.

"Are you finally interested in boys! Did you play the game we play with him!" She immediately screamed.

"Midori-chan, have you been reading shoujo manga again?"

"…Yes. And I drank coffee on the way here."

"Then let's get you home before you become a menace to society." I draped an arm around her and listened to her prattle.

"…really cute… some girls talking about him…used to play around but he doesn't do that anymore. I think he has a girl he likes now, isn't that cute? Maybe he'll fall for you though! So are you free on Saturday? We can go see that movie! Oh, and also…" I chuckled at Midori-chan, she hadn't been this hyper in a really long time.

"I'm home!" I called out. My aunt backed out of the kitchen, holding a fire extinguisher. "…Did you kill the oven again?"

"The dish just caught fire, that's all! Uh… wanna run to the store and get some sushi?" She said.

"Alright, after I change clothes." I jogged upstairs and quickly threw on some jeans and a sweatshirt.

The supermarket was surprisingly crowded. After pushing past other customers, I finally found the sushi I wanted. I struggled to get in line.

"Ame-san!" A voice yelled. I stood on my tiptoes and finally spotted Takumi-san, holding a case of soda. He pushed through the crowd toward me. "I forgot to get your number."

"Uh… my number?"

"Yes!" Grinning, he pulled out his cell phone. I laughed and exchanged numbers with him. "I'll call you, okay? Gah!" He was suddenly sandwiched between two groups of customers and I wasn't able to contain my laugh. His face looked hilarious, like a fish.

"See you!" I said once I recovered. I stepped up to the cash register to buy my sushi.

"Oh… sooo… what happened?" My aunt said, once I arrived home.

"Nothing, I got food… Why do you think something happened?" I dropped the sushi on the table and we began to eat.

"You walked in giggling."

"Ah, my new friend was just being funny." I sighed at her overly eager face and decided to indulge her. She practically squealed when I told her his name. …Is it really that big of a deal? Well, for all I know she's reading shoujo manga too…

I was doodling in my notebook when Takumi-san called.

"Hello?" I said.

"Look outside! I want to try that story thing." He said.

"Alright, alright." I jumped off my bed and opened the curtains. "Uhh… There aren't really many clouds…"

"I see one!"

"Yeah, I see them too, but it doesn't look like anything."

"Then it can be a blob."

"Okay."

We made up a silly story about a blob that goes to the moon, and then stopped when we couldn't come up with anything else. "Takumi-san, I wish it was the weekend tomorrow…"

" 'Takumi-san' sounds too formal. Let's just use our first names." He said.

"Hmmm, okay. But it should really be the weekend tomorrow."

"Yes. I have gym… I'm gonna skip."

"Won't you get caught?"

"Skip with me!"

"No. I should really go to bed…"

"Aw, okay… 'Night, Ame-chan!"

"'Night, Takumi." I hung up and snuggled under my covers. Tomorrow should be fun…
