"Dar~ling!"

My whole body stiffened when I heard her voice calling from the main hallway.

I tried to fight back the blush that threatened to paint my whole face scarlet.

The feeling of her lips on my cheeks were still so vivid - almost as if it had happened just a moments ago.

"Young master, it's not good to keep you girlfriend waiting."

Before I could answer, Chitoge replied, "It's okay. I'll let myself in for the time being."

'Don't just let yourself in!'

I pulled up my pants in a hurry.

'Why did this simple task I do every single day take so much effort now?! Of all times!'

I screamed internally as I fumbled the buckle of the belt with my shaky hands.

Just at that very moment, I heard the door sliding open.

Instinctively, I turned around to check who it was only to find Chitoge standing right in front of the door.

"Dar-"

Jaw dropped, I screamed externally.

She slid the door shut and in a flash, she dashed towards me and clamped her hand over my mouth, "Why are you shouting?!"

"Mmf… Mphhh!" I tugged at her hand, which I just realized was not only covering my mouth, but my nose as well.

But her grip was too strong. Even tugging it with both of my hands, with all of my strength was futile.

My energy was draining away with every split second.

'She's really trying to murder me!'

I slouched against the wall as I drew in deep breathes to fill my lungs with precious air, "Don't just come in! How can a young lady barge in into a guy's room just like that!? I was even halfway changing! At least knock!"

She stared at me, dissatisfied, "You were already fully dressed. I still don't get why you were shouting. You really are a bean sprout."

"That's not the point here! Why was your first reaction to silence me? Are you a natural kidnapper or what?!"

"I panicked and did it without thinking."

"At least say that with a little bit of remorse!"

"I've repented."

I gave up.

I sighed and rested my head against the wall, 'She's acting all natural again… As if nothing has happened.'

I glanced at her, 'And here, I was just about to die from embarrassment…' A blush crept to my face as I recalled what happened few days ago.

"I'll add that manga to your collection here," she crawled towards the bookshelf and inserted the manga we bought that day at the end of the row.

"This volume is a little disappointing though."

"Yeah, I know."

"I don't get it. Why do you still insist on buying whenever the new volume goes on sale even when you've already read them from those weekly magazines?"

"It feels different! When you really love the series so much, you will end up wanting to own the complete set of it."

"Is that so? Not complaining though, 'cause I get to read them whenever you buy one." She said as she slid her index finger across the spines of the books arranged on the shelf.

"You can read the others too if you want."

"Nah, only that particular one caught my attention. I'll stick to just that." She stood up, her arms akimbo. "So what's the plan today, darling?"

"I haven't got anything in mind since we've already exhausted all the nice movies recently."

"Let's just grab something to eat first. I'm hungry! We'll figure out the rest after that."

"Ramen sounds good?"

"Perfect!"

"I'm bored." She pouted as she swung her legs back and forth, causing the old park bench to sway a little with her movements.

"Wanna go somewhere else instead?"

"It's fine. We ended up here 'cause we ran out of ideas anyway." She stopped the swinging and turned towards me with her arms perched in between us. "Hey darling, can you get me something to drink?"

My heart skipped a beat, 'How can anyone refuse when she have this puppy eyes look?'

"You okay with orange juice? They always don't have anything fancy there."

She nodded enthusiastically with her lips curved into a big smile.

"Right, I'll be back in five then."

There store was located right at the edge of the park. It wasn't a really big park so I guess that's the reason why they only have the most common and generic stuff you tend to see anywhere else.

I grabbed the orange juice and some tea for myself. While the cashier who seemed to be new to the job was fumbling with the cash register, I turned around and eyed her – seated not very far from the store. She was checking her cell as she continued to leg-swinging. She looked almost obedient when she's not talking.

'She's cute.'

'…'

'What the heck am I thinking?! Oy oy, you already have Onodera don't you? Calm down, me. It must be the kiss going to my head. It's just a kiss on the cheek! It's a form of greeting from where she used to live!'

I shook my head vigorously, hoping that it would shake that very thought away.

"I-I'm sorry sir…" The cashier had some coins in her hands but for some reason she seemed a little shaken.

'She must be shocked that I'm suddenly shaking my head.'

"Your change, sir…" Blushing at my weird habit of physically reacting to my monologues, I hurriedly took the change and headed back.

'I'm so embarrassed… I really need to change that habit of mine…'

She must have noticed that I was approaching as she glanced up from her cell. Her face immediately brightened up with a grin while she pocketed her cell. "Thanks for your hard work, darling!"

"Here you go." I handed the beverage to her and plopped down beside her.

"You got tea again?"

"Well, it has always been my favourite all this while. I'm surprised that you took this long to notice though."

"It's not that I didn't notice earlier. It's just that you got yourself something else the last two times we were here."

"Is that so? You've got pretty good memory."

"Of course! I now can hit it off with everyone without referring to the friendship note."

"You're still keeping that note?"

"Well, now that I don't really need it, I don't update it anymore. But I won't just throw it away just like that."

"That's unexpected. I've never thought that you'd be the sentimental kind."

"You do know that I still keep the diary and the key from ten years ago, right?"

I nodded, "Though you've already forgotten most of it."

She folded her arms and turned the other way, "Says someone who also doesn't remember anything much from ten years ago."

I sighed. "Then, I guess I'm in no place to comment further."

She snickered.

I twisted the cap of the bottle and was about to take the first sip. It was then I suddenly felt something touching my cheeks briefly.

I whipped my head around to look at her with my eyes widened in surprise. "… You…"

"Ehe… Thank you for the juice."

Author's notes: First of all, thank you all for the reviews! I am very happy that there are people looking forward for updates for this fic!

I like to elaborate more on their conversation with a side of cute gestures cause that's what got me so obsessed about these two! I hope they were not OOC…

For the first half, I decided that it could take place in Raku's room as a continuation for the manga thing... But Chitoge being in Raku's place (other than the study group stuff, if I'm not mistaken) has never been depicted so I thought I must have dug my own grave when I started chapter 2… But since Raku's been to Chitoge's place at least once, I thought it won't be too weird for Chitoge to hang around his too, once in a while… right?

Ramblings: I finally watched the first season! (I'm more of a manga person…) I feel like it helped me grasp some of their personalities better. Particularly Raku and Marika! And I'm still dying for the new chapter…

I hope I'll be able to whip up some quick updates before summer classes start… Again, comments and criticisms are appreciated! Also, a late Merry Christmas and an early Happy New Year wishes to all!
