Tuesday morning, the three boys entered the council room to be greeted with those same flowers. Nokoru approached his desk examining the flowers as usual hoping he'd find a card this time, but he laid the flowers back on his desk and sighed. He was clearly disappointed.
"No card as usual?" Akira asked curiously and Nokoru nodded before he collapsed on his chair.
"I can't believe that I couldn't find who sent me those flowers yet." Nokoru closed his eyes. Suoh frowned, he felt suddenly like burning. Without thinking, he took the flowers and dumped them in the garbage. Akira got shocked at Suoh's behavior and Nokoru stared at the ninja with widen eyes.
"Why did you do that, Suoh?" Suoh glared at Nokoru and slammed his hands on Nokoru's desk.
"Those flowers are keeping you from doing your duties, you keep thinking about that 'admirer' and forgot about the paperwork … I don't understand Kaichou, if that person was so in love with you why he or she doesn't want you to know his or her identity? … That person just wanted to steal your attention away." Suoh stopped, feeling shocked of what he had just said. He muttered a 'sorry' and got out of the room quickly. Nokoru and Akira exchanged looks. They felt confused at Suoh's unusual mood.
"Did he have another problem with Nagisa-san? I thought he promised to make it up to her." Nokoru thought, there must be something wrong with Suoh because there is no way he would act this way without a good reason.
'Jealous?' Akira thought to himself, it was obvious to Akira that his senpai was jealous, but he couldn't tell Nokoru the truth of course.
"Ne! Maybe Takamura-senpai is just tired, Kaichou … I'll go and check on him."
"Please do so, Akira." Nokoru watched his friend as he left. He spun his chair until he faced the window. "There is something different about Suoh." he paused for a while.
… … … … … …
… …
"Takamura-senpai!" Akira called as he glanced at the ninja boy sitting on the fountain's edge. Suoh lifted his head and smiled awkwardly at his friend as the later sat beside him.
"Oh! Ijyuin." he looked down again and asked hesitantly: "Kaichou's mad?"
"No! … He just wondered what's wrong with you."
"Oh!"
There was a silent between them but then Akira smiled and asked innocently. "Jealous?" immediately Suoh's face grew red. Akira laughed at that.
"N- No of course not … how stupid, Ijyuin." Suoh stood up and walked towards the council room. Akira smiled and followed him, and he could see that Suoh was angry.
"Takamura-senpai … I think you should ask Kaichou out." Akira suggested. Suoh stared at him and blinked few times.
"No way Ijyuin, … how I spouse to ask him out?"
"How would he know that it's a date? You can take him anywhere then you can confess your feelings towards him, it's so simple."
"Yes … but-"
"Don't hesitate senpai … didn't you always say that you crave to rain him with kisses and caress every inch of his-" Akira was shut by Suoh's hand covering his mouth. He looked up at Suoh who was blushing madly.
"Ijyuin! Do you want to kill me?"
… …
Akira started to help Suoh to make some plans for that date, and they planed it to be on Saturday. Akira's mothers have a nice villa overlooking the beach. It's a perfect place and it had a nice view to the sea, and it's a private place too. Suoh would feel free to express his emotions the way he want it to be…
"A villa?" Nokoru blinked few times as he stared at the so clearly nervous Suoh.
"Umm … yes! … I thought we could spend our weekend there." Suoh swallowed hard. This was embarrassing, now he felt that he regretted listing to Akira's advices.
"GREAT! Although I couldn't believe that you're the one who is suggesting this, but I agree it'd be so much fun." Suoh sighed in relief. He succeeded.
"So did you tell Nagisa-san yet? Oh and Akira don't worry, I'll call Ohkawa-kaichou right now." the two stared at their Kaichou in disbelieve. Akira gave Suoh a glare and the later turned to Nokoru to protest, but it was late because he was already inviting Utako over.
Suoh frowned and went back to sit behind his desk. Akira approached him. "It's ok! Takamura-senpai you still has a chance." Suoh looked puzzled at his friend and the later released an innocent chuckle in response.

(Saturday, at the shore)
While Suoh and the others were swimming, Nokoru sat on the chair enjoying his sunbath. His eyes were closed that's why he didn't notice the glances that were directed on him.
"Suoh-san? Look there's a fish." Nagisa smiled, following the small fish with her gaze, who was swimming so close to them, but when she got no response, she turned to look at her brunette boyfriend, and there he goes again, he was staring at Nokoru. She wondered why he was acting like that. 'Is he overprotective?' she wondered to herself, she couldn't find any other reason.
"I wonder why Nokoru-sama doesn't swim with us." finally he heard her when he heard his beloved name.
"Hmm … he needs at least to give it a shot." Suoh muttered.
"If he doesn't know how to swim, you could teach him, ne?" if she knew what she was suggesting, she wouldn't even thought of it, but she didn't know. Suoh smiled at her before he swam towards the beach, and then approached Nokoru.
"Kaichou!"
Nokoru removed his sunglasses and gave a puzzled look at his defender. "What's wrong, Suoh?" he could see the smirk that played on the brunette's lips, but he forgot about it as Suoh picked him up.
"S- Suoh what are you doing?" he was scared that was so clear in his voice.
"I'll teach you swimming, Kaichou … what if I weren't there and you fell into a pool or something."
"B-B-BUT! No! … I mean are you serious?"
"You'll see." he slipped into the water still carrying Nokoru on his arms, and he let him go when the water level became under their chin, but Nokoru immediately wrapped his arms around Suoh's neck as tight as he could that Suoh couldn't breath for a while.
"SUOH! DON'T LET GO OF ME, I'LL DROWN." Nokoru shouted. Akira couldn't help but to laugh at this. He could see how flushed Suoh was as Nokoru held him like that. 'Takamura-senpai is enjoying this.' Akira laughed.
"Kaichou relax! The water isn't too deep." even when he said that, Nokoru didn't let go of him. He didn't have a choice but to retreat that's won't work as long as Nokoru was holding him like that.
