Chapter 20: Marriage Booth

After two weeks...

"I'm so excited! The school fair will start tomorrow!" Serah said. For a moment, I missed my other friends. I've been hanging out with Serah too much this past weeks.

"Yeah.. Um, Serah-chan?" I said.

"yeah?"

"Can I hang out with the guys during break time later? I kinda miss them." I said.

"Um, Sure!" She smiled.

During class, I remembered something that I was thinking about. I completely forgot about it because of the preparations for the ball but it suddenly popped in my mind. The question kept repeating in my mind: "Will I Stay?" It kept going on in my mind that I wasn't able to listen to the teacher. I'm glad the teacher's not noticing it. The bell rang, then I snapped to my senses. I stood up then looked for Kurosaki. He was just about to leave the room.

"Kurosaki!" he turned.

"Hey!" He went towards me.

"I'm gonna hang out with you guys today. I missed you guys!" I punched his arm.

"Let's go!" He put his arm around my as always.

"Hey guys! Got your outfits for Sunday?" I asked.

"Yeah! guys' outfits are easy you know? Nothing grand about it. All our clothes will look the same I guess!" Souta said then they all laughed and agreed.

"What about your dates?" I asked.

"I think they got ready right after the event was announced!" They laughed.

"Yeah right." I said.

"I'm excited about how you're gonna look! I'd want to take a picture with you!" Mako said.

"then ready your cameras!" I laughed.

Today is the starting event. The students and the outsiders were all asked to be in the gym for the opening. The gym was filled with seats and decorations. When they were all gathered in the gym, music played and some party poppers set off as the Student Council walked at the center aisle to the front.

"Good morning everyone! Welcome to Miyabigaoka! Today is the first day of this school's fair and we would like to inform you about the booths and activities to be held for today and tomorrow!" The people clapped after Tora's words.

"We will have booths selling food all around! We also have places where we sell items made by the students of Miyabigaoka! There are shirts, ballers, tank tops and other accessories with Miyabigaoka's sign! For some lovers here, we have a Marriage booth and a Love photo booth! We have strength test and shooting booths for the athletic ones and many other more! Again, Welcome and enjoy!" The people clapped and cheered louder. They started to go out enjoy the fair.

Serah and Tabiki tried out some booths and had fun. At the end of the day, Tabiki left and went to the cafe to work. When Shiroyan came to the cafe in his Seika uniform, She suddenly stopped and remembered the question she was thinking about yesterday. It kept going on her mind like someone was whispering it on her ear over and over again.

"Hey! How was your day? Um.. Is something bothering you?" someone asked.

"Hey. Bikyu-chan!" Someone shook her shoulders then she snapped back to my senses.

"Wh- oh. Shiro-kun! I didn't notice you." She said. He looked at her in the eyes then went to look for satsuki.

"Satsuki-san! Can she go home now? I think she's tired. She's spacing out a lot lately." She heard him talking to her manager..

"Oh, okay. Let her rest okay? Then have a great time tomorrow and on the ball!" She smiled. Tabiki breathed deeply and went in the locker room to change.

She opened her locker then removed her headband. She removed her clothes piece by piece. Starting with the apron, to the skirt then the top, until all she wore was her underwear. Shiroyan walked inside quietly so Tabiki didn't notice. He was shocked when he saw her changing. His face turned red and his body was shaking. He wasn't able to make a sound because he was too surprised. He looked at her body realizing that she was so beautiful. He stood up and fixed himself. Tabiki out on a shirt and some pants, still not noticing that Shiroyan was watching her. After she was done dressing up, she ran her hands through her hair then closed her locker, finding Shiroyan nearby.

"Wh-what are you doing here?!" She said.

"I came to tell you that you could go home.. But it looks like you knew." He rubbed he back of his head with his hand.

"How long have you been there!? What did you see?!" She shouted. Her face was red.

"Um.. I seen ever-"

"BAKAAAAAAAAAAA!" She jumped then kicked his face.

"S-sorry. I didn't mean to.." She finally stopped kicking him. He stood up.

"Ugh. Hentai!" She pouted then looked away from him.

"Yeah, yeah. Let's go home. I think you're exhausted." He patted her head then put his arm around her. They finally reached Tabiki's house.

"Tadaima!" She said. No one answered. Looks like no one's home. She went straight to her room then Shiroyan followed. She lied down on her bed immediately. Shiroyan lied down beside her then breathed deeply.

"How was your day?" He turned to her.

"Not exactly tiring. We just walked around, taking a look at the booths."

"Then, why do you look so tired?" He asked.

"What? I'm not tired?" She said.

"You are." he went closer to her face.

"Ugh. I'm just thinking about something. It just bugs my mind. Don't ask."

He wanted to know what was it but he felt that she wouldn't want to talk about it. when e realized that she was already asleep, he decided to take a shower. He went in Tabiki's room without a shirt then lied down beside her. Soon, he fell asleep. After a few minutes, Tabiki suddenly woke up. She wondered why she always wakes up after falling asleep without taking a shower. When she turned around, she blushed, seeing Shiroyan facing her without a shirt. She carefully got off the bed without waking him up then grabbed some clothes at the cabinet then went to take a shower. When she was done, she lied down on the bed. She kept turning around and changing her position. She couldn't sleep. She decided to go out and eat a light snack. She sat down on the couch, watching boring midnight shows on tv. About 4 am, she fell asleep without noticing.

Next morning...

When Shiroyan opened his eyes, he didn't see Tabiki beside him. He went to the bathroom and washed his face. When he went to the living room, he saw Tabiki sleeping on the couch. The television was open and there was an empty glass and bowl on the table. He turned the television off then cleaned the table. Hours later, Tabiki woke up.

"Oh hey. You're up. Why were you sleeping on the couch?" He asked then sat beside her. He was still shirtless that time.

"I couldn't sleep last night. I woke up then took a shower. I returned to bed then I really couldn't sleep. So I went out here, ate then watched tv until I fell asleep." She explained.

"Was something still bothering you?" He asked.

"Yeah.." She mumbled. shiroyan put his arms around her then held her chin. He smiled then kissed her lips.

"You'll be fine." He said then kissed her forehead.

"you do know you're shirtless right?" She laughed.

"What? I'm always like this at home."

"Yeah, yeah. Go take a shower. We'll still go to the school fest." She stood up, pulled Shiroyan's wrists then pushed him to the bathroom.

Shiroyan finished then Tabiki took her turn. They were both ready then went to Miyabigaoka. When they arrived, there were still a lot of people even if it's already afternoon. They walked around the school.

"What kinds of booths do you have here?" He asked.

"Um, there's a Marriage booth here!" She smiled.

"Then let's get married!" He kissed her cheeks. Tabiki blushed then pulled him towards the booth.
