I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise by not updating the whole week last week. OTL I was busy with school and stuff and I got in trouble. I'll try to update more frequently. Oh, I might also write a side story of Yukina and Kisa.

'Thoughts'
.~~. Time difference and stuff like that

Usami's House

Ren sat in the living room of her apartment with a can of beer in hand waiting for Eden to come back and tell her the story of her stay at Usami's house. Eden came back shortly after getting a beer for herself and some snacks for Ren to eat.

"What happened?" Ren pleaded.

"Okay, what I'm about to tell you, I'm only going to say it once because it's too long to repeat. So pay close attention." Eden emphasized the 'close'.

.~~.

"Kamijou-sensei?! What are you doing here?" Misaki blurted out. "A-Are you here to scold me or something?"

"What? No. I'm here to get some books. Are you one of my students?"

"Yes. I'm Takahashi Misaki. I sit somewhere in the middle of the classroom next to Sumi-senpai." He told his teacher. "Ah, by any chance, do you know Usag- err, Usami-san?"

"Mm. He's my childhood friend." Kamijou answered. 'Wait a second… I feel like I've seen him somewhere before. Oh!'

"Is this the guy that you've been living with, Akihiko?"

The landlord nodded. "For four years now, I believe."

'Four years, huh? Well, it's good that he finally found someone whom he can trust.' Hiroki thought. "Well, that's good then. I guess I'll just take these books and-"

And without warning, the door flew open almost hitting him right in the face.

"Usami-sensei!" thundered a young female editor, pushing the brown haired man out of the way. "How many times do I have to tell you to turn your manuscripts in on time?"

"This time, I actually have it done. All thanks to Misaki." The mentioned boy blushed at that last part.

"Good job Misaki! You managed to get him to turn it in almost on time. I'll give you a bonus this week." She smiled as she looked at Misaki.

Misaki denied the bonus, but it was still going to be given to him. Eden and Hiroki were watching the scene unfold and Hiroki whispered to Eden, "Maybe we should get going now…"

"No, I want to ask her something. Hold on." She whispered back as she went towards the redhead.

"Excuse me, but are you his editor?" Eden questioned her.

"Indeed I am. I'm Aikawa Eri. And you are?"

"I'm Eden Vega. Transfer student from America and I go to Mitsuhashi University with Misaki, which I just found out about. My dream is to become an author like the awesome Usami Akihiko. Nice to meet you." She bowed.

"Likewise," Aikawa bowed back.

"Umm, if it's alright with you, can I stay here and watch you edit? I would like to see the process of editing."

"Sure. But it's not that interesting." Aikawa replied.

Eden pulled Hiroki from leaving and Misaki went back to cooking. Usami lit a cigarette and started to breathe in the smoke. Hiroki started reading one of the books that he was borrowing from his friend. It was an awkward editing time for all of them.

.~~.

"Damn… I wouldn't know what to do if I was placed in a silent room. I would probably spaz out out of nowhere." Ren said after listening intently to part of her friends' story.

"Yeah. But here comes the awesome part. After those few awkward minutes of silence…"

.~~.

"This is good. Good job again, Misaki!" Aikawa acknowledged Misaki.

"Oh yeah, I've got some ideas for the next Junai Romantica book." The author reported as he handed his editor Eden's notes.

She read through them and agreed that they were in fact some good ideas. "When did you come up with these?" she questioned.

"Eden helped me. Those are her notes on what she thought up of, I'm guessing."

"Hehe. Actually my friend told me something similar to what's on there but I just rewrote and edited it to make it seem more interesting." Eden admitted, scratching the back of her head.

"It's still pretty good. Hey, sensei, don't you think that Eden-san would make a good and helpful assistant for you?" Aikawa grinned.

Sensei had a surprised look on his face then replied, "I hadn't thought about that. Good idea."

"Eh? Me? An assistant of Usami-sensei? Are you serious?" Eden cried out.

"Yeah. I don't feel that uncomfortable around you and it doesn't feel like you would take Misaki away from me. Not only that, you're also good at writing and coming up with ideas. So would you like to be my assistant?" He asked.

"Really? I'm not dreaming, right? I would love to!" Eden rejoiced, scaring Hiroki a little.

"Great! Then you can come by whenever he calls and asks for help. Or you can come over, right, sensei?"

The silver haired author agreed and surprisingly gave Eden a key to his house, which stunned everyone, including Eden.

.~~.

"OH. MY. GOD. You are so lucky, dude! Introduce him to me sometime!" Ren yelled at her friend who was throwing her hair over her shoulders, flaunting.

"Heh. And you thought your job was cool."

.~~.

Eden thanked her new boss and after a while, she left with Hiroki. She was sobbing tears of joy and happiness. Who wouldn't be happy to meet their favorite author of all time? Who wouldn't be happy to become their assistant? She called her friend to tell her what had happened. The brunette, being forgotten and abandoned, told her to stop crying so much because they were getting a lot of stares.

"Oi, shut up. People are staring."

Eden started to calm down before they reached the train station. Now, she couldn't stop smiling and kept on bothering her neighbor about her fantasies and other things.

"What if I get to meet my favorite mangaka too, Kamijou-san?"

"I don't care."

"What if I get to meet a really good editor, like the best of the best in the business?"

"I doubt it and I don't care."

"What if, what if, what if they all have boyfriends, too?!"

"I don't care about that so stop bothering me about it!"

.~~.

They reached their stop and started walking home. It was getting a little chilly because it was beginning to turn into night time. By that time, Eden was more calm and a little bit tired and sleepy. She waved goodbye to Hiroki and he just pretended to ignore her and walked in to the air conditioned apartment of his own. There was a tall man waiting for him inside, and they both talked about their days.

"Had a good day today Hiro-san?" Nowaki asked.

"Yeah, I guess. It was a little interesting." he replied.

End of chapter 6

Welp. There was some foreshadowing in this chapter, if you can spot it. Something interesting may happen in the next couple of chapters, just saying. Shit might start getting real.
