If you chose Kukai…
I looked at Kukai with inquiring eyes.
"My mom wanted to know if you wanted to join us for lunch. She was kinda peeved I didn't invite you dead on…" He looked at Mateo curiously. "But you weren't answering your phone."
"Oh..well.."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Nishkuri Mateo." Mateo bowed to Kukai.
"Souma Kukai." Kukai didn't answer with his usual cheerfulness.
"Well, I guess I'm intruding, aren't I?" Mateo said with an easy going smile. "We'll talk later then?"
"Y-Yeah." I said."
"Until then." He bowed to me and smiled at Kukai before he left.
"Who was he?"
Choice A: Tell him
Choice B: Try to change topic
Choice A Outcome:
"He's someone I knew in Nemuro."
"Is that so?"
"Yeah. He didn't know I came to live here."
"I see." Kukai looked relieved.
"Yeah."
"Not anything..more..than that right?"
"Erm.."
"Hinamori?"
"He's my ex.."
"Your ex?" Kukai's expression was clouded.
"Yes.."
"Did he dump you or did you dump him?"
"…He-"
"That's all I need to hear."
Kukai looked very conflicted at this point.
Choice B Outcome:
"Shouldn't we be heading to your house?"
"Hina-"
"I wonder what your mother is cooking.."
"Hi-"
"Is your mother's cooking good? Should I be aware of any potential dangers?"
"Dang-"
"Are your brothers home?"
"Ye-"
"I wonder if Rento-san will be following us around again.."
"AMU?"
"Would you let me talk for one second!" Kukai raged.
"I..I'm sorry."
"Obviously he's someone who hurt you."
"Eh?"
"Nishkuri!" Kukai pounded his fists in the air. "I'll defeat him!"
"Defeat him?"
"Yeah! I'll make him as sad as he made you!"
"Kukai.."
"Consider it a payment for helping me!" Kukai grinned.
"You really don't have to..!"
Kukai pulled out his cellphone.
Continuation:
"Hey Mom, I'm going to take Amu-chan out. So we can't go home for lunch."
"Kukai!" I whispered in panic.
"Yeah..I will…I got money..yeah…yeah. I know." Kukai grinned at me more. "I will and we'll come back for dinner."
With that, he hung up.
"Where are you taking me?"
"The best place for lunch!"
"Eh?"
"You can cook right?"
"Yeah.."
"Then let's make lunch together!"
Choice A: Alright!
Choice B: Erm…I don't cook that well though..
Choice A Outcome:
"Alright!"
"Where shall we cook?"
"Hmmm..I don't think we'll be interrupted if we go to my kitchen."
"I'm not surprised."
"Hm?"
"That you have your own kitchen!" Kukai laughed.
"Oh..well I guess I'm not that surprised either."
"Is your family in Nemuro this rich?"
"No..or at least we don't live that way."
"I see."
Choice B Outcome:
"Erm…I don't cook that well though.."
"I'm sure that's not true."
"You'll see.."
"Hmph."
"What?"
"I bet you're an amazing cook. Only people are really go at something say they suck!"
"I guess that's true."
"So I bet whatever you make will be really delicious."
I blushed.
"Eh?" Kukai noticed. "Did I say something wrong?"
"No..the opposite actually."
"Oh," Now it was Kukai's turn to blush. "Well your welcome."
We both started to crack up and I led him over to my corner of the estate.
Continuation:
"Whoa.."
"What?"
"Your scent is everywhere!" Kukai remarked.
"Is that a bad thing?"
"No, it's a nice smell."
"Thanks?"
"Sorry that must sound creepy."
"Just a bit."
"I'M SORRY!"
I started to laugh, "I'm joking!"
"Oh.." Kukai looked conflicted.
"Hm?"
"Where's your kitchen?"
"AMU-CHAN!" Dia and Ran came into the room.
"Who is this?" Dia asked.
"He's cute."
"Is that Amu-chan's boyfriend?" Suu asked.
"Must be." Miki said.
"NO..He's my friend."
"Fake boyfriend." Kukai added and bowed to them slightly. "Souma Kukai."
"Nice to meet you." The four of them bowed.
"This is Ran, Miki, Suu, and Dia." I said pointing to each one as I said their names.
"What do you need us to do?" Dia asked.
"Take the day off." I said gruffly. "Go do something. Just don't be here for today."
"You hate us that much?" Suu sniffed.
"NO!" I pouted. "I just want to have the house to myself for a day.
"We understand." Ran bowed and ushered everyone out.
"We left something for you in your room."
"Eh?"
"I'll show Kukai-san the kitchen." Suu said.
I ran up to my room and saw that there was a box of condoms.
"Hinamori?"
Choice A: Freeze Up.
Choice B: Hide the condom box behind your back.
Choice A Outcome:
I froze up as I heard Kukai say my name.
"K-KUKAI!"
"What are you holding?"
"Nothing."
"Eh, what's that box?" Kukai asked pointing to the box in my hands.
"Erm, nothing."
"Let me see!"
"Kukai!"
"What?"
"Don't look!"
"Why?"
"Because it's embarrassing!"
"It can't be that bad!"
"Stop it!"
He kept reaching for the box until we toppled over on my bed.
"Ow.." I said.
Kukai was crushed on top of me and my face was against his chest.
"Eh…" Kukai said and looked down at me.
"Erm.."
"You know.." Kukai smiled a boyish grin as he talked. "Ikuto showed me this movie once and this scene came up where the heroine and the main guy were in this position.."
He noticed something and held my wrists away from my head.
"Except the guy had the girl pinned her down like this."
"Erm.."
"Then Ikuto covered my eyes and wouldn't let me watch the rest."
Kukai stared down at me without a care in the world.
"Kukai?"
"Yeah?"
"You're face is a little too close to mine."
"Eh?"
Finally, it registered to him that our faces were an inch away from each other.
Kukai's face flared red, "OH..sorry."
"No. No. It's fine."
"Erm.."
"Could you get off?"
"Yeah!" He exclaimed and hopped off me.
"Thanks."
"Let's head back to the kitchen?"
"Sure.."
I kicked the condom box under my bed.
Choice B Outcome:
Immediately, I hid the condom box behind my back. Kukai waltzed into my room and took a look around.
"What a nice room."
"Thanks."
"It's so..you."
"Is that a bad thing?"
"Not at all." Kukai smiled.
"So what did you need?"
"Oh, I felt lonely downstairs so I thought I would hang out with you up here."
"Oh, well I'll be going down in a second."
"Mmk." Kukai said. "Hey Hinamori?"
"Yeah?"
"What's that behind your back?"
"Just a box. Nothing important!"
"Can I see?"
"Erm..no."
"Why not?"
"Because it's private."
"Is it your period pads?"
"KUKAI!"
"What?"
"I-It's not."
Kukai stood up and approached me.
"Let me see." He insisted.
"No is no!"
Then Kukai grabbed the box from me.
"Kukai! Don't read-"
"Condoms?"
"Erm.." I panicked. "I can explain.."
"You use these?"
"I've ne-"
"I can tell you're not a virgin but I thought girls take pills or something."
"Eh?"
"Aren't guys the ones who are supposed to be hoarding these?"
"But-"
"I never imagined Hinamori to be prepared."
"Eh?"
"Let's go downstairs?"
How could he be so unaffected by that box and being in this house alone?
"Are you coming?"
"Yeah!"
Continuation:
We pounded down the stairs and headed into the kitchen. Kukai surprised me by being such a wonderful on the go cook. He packed our lunch bentos so well we could fit an extra meal if we needed to.
"You make sushi like an expert!" Kukai marveled.
"You make everything else three hundred times better!"
"Well, I was always forced to do the cooking when my mom wasn't home."
"I see."
"Plus, my brothers always made lunches that were disgusting."
I smiled warmly at Kukai.
"It must be nice to have such a family.."
"Nice?"
"Not nearly close to the description."
"At least you understand each other. You know and accept each other's goals."
"I guess you're right."
"Well, we're all packed. Shall we go have our picnic?"
"I'm all ready!"
Kukai took my hand and led me through Kyoto to a more remote setting. There was a lot more nature in this area and we had a view of a temple. It was peaceful and quiet here. I didn't know whether to whisper or speak normally.
"Isn't this place cool?"
"It's breath taking."
The willow trees danced in the breeze.
"This is my thinking space and we can share it."
"Thank you."
"No problem!"
"Hehe.." I got out our bentos. "Here you go."
"Thank you."
We ate in silence and watched the scenery around us. I felt at peace with everything. As if the raging storm within me had finally subsided.
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"For lunch, for sharing this place with me, for making me feel better."
"That Mateo jerk face person whoever he is seemed to really be bothering you."
"Yeah.."
"What more could you need than a change of scenery?"
"For a childish guy, you're pretty mature."
"I'm full of surprises." He winked at me.
"Mm..well I am too." I smiled and I recalled that we were still in a fake relationship. "Shall we practice being a couple?"
"Hm?"
"Here, you can use my lap as a pillow."
Kukai started to blush again, "I…"
"Come on, a lot of couples do this and I'll feed you your sushi."
Kukai relented and placed his head on my lap.
"Say 'ah'!" I instructed, holding sushi with my chopsticks.
"Ah~" Kukai opened his mouth and allowed me to feed him.
"Heehee, I think we make for a suitable fake couple."
"I hope Ma doesn't expect us to kiss in front of her."
"What if she does?"
"Th-Then I'll have to kiss you."
"Are you ok with that?"
"Why wouldn't I be?"
"Maybe you want to only kiss the person you like?"
"No, I mean it'd be nice..but ..I mean to say…"
"I get it." I giggled.
Hours passed as we talked and did more activities that couples would do. We even napped where we picnicked. It was nice because I was tucked beside Kukai with his arm around me and my head rested against his neck. He was warm and inviting, like a teddy bear.
When I woke up, I saw the beautiful night sky lit up with stars."
"Kukai, wake up!" I said but when I looked at him, he was already staring at me.
"You made me feel like a statue for the past two hours."
"I-I'm sorry!"
"No..it's ok."
Then Kukai kissed me.
"FYI..I only kiss the person I like."
"Eh?"
Did he mean, he likes me?
"Let's go!" Kukai called, five yards away.
"Wait for me!" I yelled. "Wait!"
…
"Nice to see you again." I said bowing after dinner was over.
"You're so charming!" Kukai's mother remarked.
"Thank you."
"I hope we see more of you." Rento adds.
"Me too." I smiled.
"Do you need me to walk you home?"
"No, Tsukasa-san is sending me a ride."
"Well, I'll wait outside with you."
"Alright."
When we were alone outside on his front porch, we sat down and he put his arm around me.
"Hey, Amu-chan?"
"Yes?"
"If you ever feel down, call me ok?"
"Eh?"
"I'll be there to cheer you up."
"Thanks, Kukai."
"No problem and if it's because of that jerk face, I'll beat him up for you!"
"Thanks." I laughed.
My car pulled up.
"Well good night!"
"Good night." Kukai kissed my forehead and opened my car door for me.
"Bye.."
"Bye.." I replied.
The car ride went by quickly and as soon as I got inside, I was greeted by a familiar voice.
"I'm glad you came home safe."
I looked up and saw Mateo sitting in the living room
