Hi guys! Sorry for not updating earlier but I only just realised that this chapter was sitting on my laptop complete.

We know that I don't own anything you recognise from the show. Now lets get on with this.

Masamune was the first to wake that morning surprisingly and he was confused when he walked into the kitchen to find that Tsubasa wasn't awake. Forgetting about his hunger temporarily, Masamune went to check Tsubasa's room to make sure the older teen was still there. When he pushed open the door though, he was greeted by the sight of Ginga's cousin with her head on Tsubasa's chest and Tsubasa with his arms wrapped around the girl.

"Man," Masamune muttered, walking over to the bed. "Tsubasa," He said, lightly shaking Tsubasa. When Tsubasa didn't wake Masamune shook him harder. "Tsubasa." This time Tsubasa stirred. "Tsubasa, wake up before Ginga comes down."

"What?" He asked, slowly opening his eyes and realising the position he was in. "Oh crap!" Tsubasa turned to look at Masamune. "Uh you won't tell Ginga will you?"

Masamune smirked, "I don't know. Maybe I will."

"Please don't."

"Fine but you might want to wake her up before Ginga comes down for breakfast. If he's up and you're still in bed with his cousin it probably won't look good for you…"

"Okay. Go away and make sure Ginga doesn't get up."

"Okay."

Saying that, Masamune left and Tsubasa sighed, looking at the girl still lying with one of his arms around her. "Why are you Ginga's cousin?" He asked, gently brushing a lock of hair out of her face. Still not wanting to wake her, Tsubasa lay there, staring at Aimi for a minute. "Guess I have no choice but to wake her. Aimi," He said shaking her sleeping body lightly.

"Hmmm?" She murmured, opening her eyes. Realising her pillow was breathing. "What?" She asked sitting up, looking at her 'pillow'.

"Morning Aimi," Tsubasa said, his cheeks tinted pink. She actually thought he looked kind of cute when he blushed.

"Morning. How'd you sleep?"

"Uh, good until Masamune woke me up."

"Oh… He came in? Is he going to tell Ginga?" She panicked.

Tsubasa shook his head. "He said he wont but you can never be sure with him."

"Oh… Wait, he's Masamune right? I wonder…"

Tsubasa looked at her, eyebrows raised. "Wonder what?"

"I'll tell you later," Aimi said, walking out of the bedroom casually. Tsubasa stared after her, rather confused. It took him a few minutes to recover, then he got up to get dressed.

When he walked out into the kitchen, he saw Yu, Masamune, Kenta and Aimi all sitting at the table eating toast. "Morning Tsubasa," Yu said cheerfully.

"Morning." Tsubasa flopped into a chair and yawned, not realising everyone was staring at him. "What?" He asked.

Yu frowned at him. "Why did you just yawn? And why did you only just get up?"

Tsubasa had a miniature panic attack within the next 5 seconds. What was he supposed to say? He couldn't tell them the truth that he'd been awake most of the night unconsciously playing with Aimi's hair or that she slept with him.

Glancing at Masamune he could see the smirk on the younger boy's face. Even Aimi was smiling cheekily but made the explanation easier for Tsubasa. "I was sleep talking and I kept him awake," She said. Yu and Kenta looked at them suspiciously but seemed to believe the story and finished eating their toast.

It wasn't long after that that the five already awake had washed their plates and were ready to head out for a walk. "Hey Guys, can we go past Ginga's place so I can get changed?" Aimi asked.

The four boys glanced at each other. "I guess so," Masamune said, locking the front door after they had all walked outside. The five started walking towards the Hagane household, talking rather loudly as they walked up the path to the door. At the door they all quietened down while Aimi knocked and waited patiently for Ryo Hagane to open the door. The group could hear someone bumping the walls as the door swung open, revealing Ginga's Dad.

For a moment the middle aged man looked confused as he saw all the boys without any sign of Ginga then realised his niece was at the front of the group. "Hello, what do you guys need?" He asked.

"Can I please get changed Uncle?" Aimi asked happily. Her happiness seemed a little bit unnatural but it was definitely real.

""Yes Aimi. Where is Ginga?"

"Him and Kyouya are still asleep at our place. You know what they're like in the morning," Masamune said. Ryo nodded.

"Would you guys like to come in for a bit?" He asked the four boys. Tsubasa and Masamune nodded while Yu and Kenta said they were going to go to the park for a bit. When Yu and Kenta left the remaining three entered the house, Aimi going up to her bedroom for a change of clothes and Tsubasa and Masamune went to the lounge room.

The two boys sat on either end of a couch unsure of what to do while they waited for Aimi to come back down. Tsubasa leaned into the arm of the couch and let his mind drift for a while before it managed to settle on the previous night. Aimi's hair had been so soft between his fingers. It was like spiders silk. It felt as though it might break if touched too roughly.

"You like her," Masamune said, breaking the older boy out of his thoughts.

"Hmm? What was that?" Tsubasa asked, not actually hearing what Masamune said

"I said: You like Aimi!"

Tsubasa fought down a blush, rather successfully, before he spoke. "No I don't! She's Ginga's cousin!"

"So? I can tell you like her. You liked her from the moment we met her."

"I. Don't. Like her!"

"You do! Seriously just admit it. You like Ginga's cousin."

"I don't!"

"Well why not? She is beautiful, has a cute laugh, is basically the opposite to Ginga. What's not to love about her?" He asked, staring at Tsubasa's face for a reaction. Much to Masamune's delight, Tsubasa failed to fight the slight blush and dreamy expression on his face as his thoughts, once again, drifted to the green eyed brunette.

Masamune rolled his eyes and gazed around the room, leaving Tsubasa to his thoughts. He could hear footsteps coming towards the lounge room. He turned towards the doorway and saw Aimi wearing a white mini-skirt with a read singlet top and a black denim vest. She wore white canvas shoes on her feet and her hair was in a neat ponytail at the top of her head.

"Are you guys ready to go?" She asked, as Tsubasa turned his head to the doorway, his eyes growing wider as he took in the beauty of the girl before him. Both boys stared at her with blank faces, both thinking the same thing. She looked amazing. "Come on! I want to go for a walk!" Saying that Aimi skipped out of the room and out the front door onto the veranda to wait.

Masamune recovered first and stood up, smirking at the look on Tsubasa's face. "Come on Lover Boy," he said, grabbing Tsubasa's arm and dragging him off the couch. Tsubasa glared at the younger boy who couldn't hold back a laugh any longer. "You know, for someone who doesn't like her, you sure seem to act like it."

"Shut Up before I kill you."

Masamune shut up before he could get into any more trouble with the white haired teen and the two walked out to the front yard where Aimi was twirling around humming 'What Doesn't Kill You' by Kelly Clarkson.

"You definitely chose a good one to crush on," Masamune whispered, earning himself a well deserved punch in the arm. "Ow."

Aimi turned to the pair as she finished the song. "About time you two got out here. Now come on!"

She grabbed each of their hands and dragged them out the gate and down the street for a walk. They passed numerous houses and trees and buildings as they talked and laughed about their lives.

At about midday they reached a park on the other side of the town and sat down under the shade of a tree. Aimi sighed happily as she realised what park they were at. "I used to love this park," She said dreamily, remembering the fun she'd had there.

"What?" Tsubasa asked, turning to look at her.

"I used to come to this park all the time. I live 5 minutes from here." Tsubasa nodded and lay back with his hands behind his head, staring up at the sky. He smiled as he saw a cloud that looked like a Rabbit.

"What are you smiling at?" Masamune asked, standing up and brushing the grass off his butt.

"Hmm? Nothing."

Masamune looked up to where his friend was still staring and shrugged. "Well I've gotta go. Thanks for getting me onto this side of town though." With that he walked off. Aimi smiled and whipped out her phone texting madly as she lay back next to Tsubasa.

"What are you doing?" He asked turning his head so he was facing the phone.

"Texting my sister," She said smiling. The brunette turned the phone so Tsubasa could see what she'd sent. The message said:

Ur BF is on his way babe ~ luv A x

Tsubasa raised an eyebrow questioningly as he read the message. "Who's this to?" He asked as a reply came through.

Yay! How do u no who M is? ~ luv S x

"My sister. She's beautiful," Aimi said as she sent a reply to Suki.

My secret. Come 2 the park ~ luv A x

"Must be a family thing," Tsubasa said, blushing once he realised he'd said that out loud. Aimi giggled and sat up happily as she saw two familiar faces together.

"I knew it was him."

Tsubasa sat up wondering what she was talking about, only to see Masamune walking back to the park with a red-haired girl. "Is that your sister?" He asked, making the connection really fast.

Aimi nodded. "Yep, that's my sister. Told you she was beautiful."

It was true. Sophie had long, straight, red hair and wore a hot pink jacket over jeans. "Family hair?" Tsubasa asked.

"Mhmm. I'm the only one with a different hair colour." Tsubasa was daydreaming again by the time Suki had dragged Masamune over to Aimi and himself. "Hey Suki," Aimi said, standing up to hug her sister. "Hey Masamune!"

"Hey Aimi!" Suki replied, returning her sisters hug while Masamune walked over to where Tsubasa was lying.

"Hi Aimi… Hey Tsubasa, you gonna get up or just lie there? Or do I have to tell Ginga what I saw this morning?"

Tsubasa smiled a little and opened an eye. "You wouldn't."

The younger teen knew this was true, not that he'd ever admit it. Tsubasa could tell Ginga he was going out with Ginga's cousin if he wanted. At least Tsubasa only liked Aimi.

"Fine," Masamune mumbled, sitting down in his original place beside Tsubasa. He frowned at the smile tugging at Tsubasa's lips. That did it for him. "STOP SMILING! IT'S ABNORMAL FOR YOU!"

"He can smile if he wants to," Suki said coming to sit with her boyfriend.

"But it isn't natural for him!"

"But smiling makes everyone look pretty!" Suki said. Tsubasa's smile left the second she said pretty, making Masamune smile.

"See? That's natural for him." Both girls looked at Tsubasa who now had his 'natural' facial emotion and frowned. They didn't like when people weren't smiling. At least, Suki didn't. Aimi, secretly of course, thought that Tsubasa looked even cuter with that face. She had to use all her willpower not to stroke his cheek and embarrass herself. When using her willpower became a bit too hard she made a decision. The swings were empty so it was the perfect opportunity.

"I'm going to the swings guys," She said as she stood up and walked away from the group. Running to the swings, feeling the cool breeze on her face. Her eyes drifted up. In the distance she could see storm clouds rolling in. They didn't look like they'd be too close very soon so she ignored them and sat down on a swing. She began swinging her legs back and forth, getting higher and higher every time until she couldn't swing any higher.

Aimi was vaguely aware of the swing beside her moving but she was too absorbed in her daydreaming to care. She was daydreaming about a lot of things though somehow a certain grey haired teen managed to work his way into her mind an awful lot. She glanced towards the tree and saw both Tsubasa and Masamune looking at the swings. She smiled happily, hearing a small giggle from the swing beside her. Turning towards the swing next to her she realised it was Suki. "What?" She asked.

"You like him!" She giggled.

Aimi felt her blood rush to her cheeks. "I don't! We only met Yesterday!"

"I don't think that matters. Ever heard of love at first sight?"

"Love at first sight only works in movies."

"Stop being stupid Aimi. You know you like him. I can tell!"

Aimi sighed in defeat. There would be no winning with her sister. "Fine. I like him a bit." Suki squealed as Aimi jumped off the swing and walked back to the two boys before her sister could say anything else. As she walked she felt something wet hit her cheek, then her head. She looked up and noticed the rain clouds hovering above her, about to open up and soak her to the bone. She finished getting to the tree just as the rain started to bucket down. Suki wasn't very far behind her.

"We really should leave," Masamune said standing up and walking over to his, already drenched, girlfriend.

"Yeah. I agree. We need to get back to our houses to stay warm," Aimi said earning nods from Tsubasa and Suki.

"I'll take Suki home you guys."

'Okay. Bye!" Aimi hugged her sister.

"Bye!"

"See Ya."

Tsubasa and Aimi watched the couple walk into the heavy rain, both smiling at the cuteness of them. "We should go before the storm gets even worse," Tsubasa said turning to walk away.

"Yeah." Aimi turned and began walking through the rain with Tsubasa next to her. Both happily daydreaming until someone slipped. Aimi slid forward, cutting her knees, hands and cheek on the ground.

'Man, this girl needs to be wrapped in bubble wrap or something,' Tsubasa thought as he knelt down beside her. "You okay?" He asked helping her to her feet. Aimi nodded but Tsubasa could define the tears on her cheeks from the rain. "You're crying."

The blood on her cheek dripped down onto her miniskirt, which was now plastered to her legs, staining the white fabric. "It hurts," She said.

Tsubasa lightly held her arm and looked at it. "It'll heal soon enough. Your cheek might take a while though." He then began examining the cut on her cheek, making sure nothing had gotten into the cut. His hand gently caressed the side of her face with the cut, trying not to hurt her as he wiped some of the blood away.

Aimi's green eyes sparkled as she gazed up at Tsubasa. She wanted to kiss him so much. Once he was finished examining the cut on her face Tsubasa turned and began walking. "You'll be fine," He said. Aimi slowly walked next to him, wondering when Masamune would catch up. It was then that she heard some splashing behind them. She stopped and turned, seeing Masamune running through the rain towards them.

"About time you caught up," She said. Tsubasa just kept walking, ignoring that she'd stopped to wait for Masamune. He reached her puffing from running so much to catch up.

"You guys are slow walkers, you know that?" Aimi rolled her eyes as they continued walking, Tsubasa still seemingly ignoring them. They hadn't even done anything so Aimi was confused. Masamune somehow knew what she was thinking. "He does this all the time. Whenever he's thinking about something important to him or… You get the idea."

Aimi nodded, unsure of what to say. If Tsubasa was usually like this maybe she didn't like him. "Maybe he's different to what I thought," She whispered to herself, momentarily forgetting Masamune and Tsubasa.

While Tsubasa was too deep in thought to have even noticed, even if she'd yelled, Masamune heard her clearly. Honestly, he had no idea both of them would fall for each other in such a short time but now it looked kind of like it pained Aimi to think of it. "Don't worry about it. He probably isn't that different to what you think he is like. It's probably only now that he'll seem distant." Masamune now noticed the cuts on her cheek and arms. "Did you fall over?"

"Mhm. Tsubasa helped me up and cleaned the cuts as much as he could." The younger of the two boys smiled a little. Everything was clicking into place as to why Tsubasa had turned distant.

"It's okay, he's just thinking. He isn't that bad."

"I hope you're right because if you're not, I don't know what I'll do."

I believe this story is failing but I will finish it, badly or not I can't say. Most likely badly. And I know this is moving pretty fast but I never, I repeat NEVER, write chapters this long… But anyway please review!
