Masamune entered the library like he normally did to see his girlfriend sitting in the normal place and walked over greeting her with a kiss to her head making her jump "Sempai" She whined, embarrassed as he plopped down in a seat beside her.

"Get used to it Ritsu, it won't be stopping anytime soon" Was all he said before resting his head on her shoulder, extremely tired like he had been for the past week.

"Are your parents still arguing?" Ritsu asked. It had been a week since she had first heard them argue ruining their morning and ever since then it had been stressing Masamune out, the only time he could relax was by Ritsu's side, she would just let him sleep on her shoulder.

"I'll be moving away" He suddenly stated making Ritsu pull away to look at him shocked. Masamune lifted his head looking into her sad eyes.

"Where to?" Ritsu asked nervously.

"My mother's home town, I'll be living with my grandmother so it would be a lot more peaceful at least" Masamune shrugged. Ritsu looked away sad "Ritsu... it's only a five hour train ride, there is nothing to say we couldn't spend weekends together" Masamune pointed out knowing exactly what she was thinking.

Ritsu peeked up at him to see him genuinely smiling down at her. Ritsu felt herself relax "But why are you moving away?"

Masamune remained silent looking away. "My parents are separating." Ritsu stood and hugged him tightly to her chest. Masamune fought to keep his desires at bay as he returned the hug knowing she was just trying to comfort him.

"I'm here if you ever need it" Ritsu murmured resting her cheek on the top of his head. Masamune didn't know how she did it, but all stress he had ever felt just melted away from her honest feelings, he actually felt happy rather than ... well... nothing. Masamune removed himself from Ritsu's grasp slightly to press a kiss to her lips which she turned shyly.

"Thank you, Onodera" He teased. When Masamune had walked her home he had found out that she didn't like her name being flaunted around the school so she had used the name 'Oda' Rather than 'Onodera' not wanting anyone to know her as a spoiled rich girl. He teased her about it ever since.

"Masa-kun," She hissed quietly.

"Relax, Young Mistress," He snickered "Your secret is safe with me"

"Now you're just being mean" She pouted as she sat heavily down in her chair with a blush spreading across her face.

Onodera Ritsu

Ritsu stepped off the train and rushed through the throngs of people as she used the directions to the high school. She had been to Kagawa a couple of times to visit Masamune but she mainly hung out with him in his grandmother's home. Ritsu honestly thought the woman was far more fit to raise Masamune rather than his mother after meeting her a few times. She was a lovely woman.

But Ritsu regretted not taking note of her surroundings when walking to his grandmother's house from the station. Ritsu rounded the corner and spotted the school and slid to a halt at the front on time to see everyone entering the hall of the building. Ritsu followed them in and took a seat as their guest as she listened in through all the speeches given and every name was called up for the graduation ceremony.

Once Masamune's name was called out he accepted the certificate meanwhile scanning the crowd of guests and smiled once he saw Ritsu amongst them as she waved once they made eye contact. Once it was over Ritsu went to find Masamune only to see him talking with a couple of girls. A little unsure she walked up to them and managed to catch the last of his sentence

"... someone I want to give it to"

"Masa-kun!" Ritsu cried happily. As soon as Masamune spun to see her she launched herself at him hugging him tightly "Congratulations on graduating!" Ritsu smiled

Masamune chuckled as he hugged her close. "Thank you Ritsu"

Ritsu then turned to the girls he was speaking with moments before. "Are you his classmates? Thank you for taking care of Masamune for me" Ritsu smiled sweetly and the girls just nodded dumbly before backing away. Turning back to her boyfriend she pointed to his second button. "Can I have it?" Ritsu asked

"Who else am I going to give it to?" Masamune teased

"I don't know? your grandmother" Ritsu huffed jokingly.

"I assure you sweetheart its all yours" A voice called and Ritsu jumped seeing Masamune's grandmother walking towards them, her amber tiger like eyes watching her warmly.

"Grandmother Takano-san" Ritsu greeted politely bowing slightly.

"Nonsense dear, call me grandma" The old woman chuckled at the girls pureness. "Will you be staying with us or are you going to try and stay in a hotel again?" Ritsu blushed. The few times she had been here she would try to get a hotel feeling like a burden to just stay with Masamune, of course Masamune and his grandmother protested and made her stay with them anyways to the point she gave up trying but his grandmother never let her live it down

"I'll stay with you if that is okay?" Ritsu murmured politely.

"You are always welcome" Takano's grandmother smiled "If I had known you were going to be cutting it so close we could have picked you up" She added

"Oh, no it's fine there was an accident on the train route so we were delayed a bit" Ritsu chuckled nervously dismissing it "I still got to see everything" She added. Masamune fiddled with the button on his shirt taking his second button off his shirt before grabbing Ritsu's wrist and placing the button in her hand before slinging his arm over her shoulder with a grin as he guided her away. His grandmother watching fondly.

"So where are you going after this?" Ritsu asked curiously

"That's a secret." Masamune stated winking.

"But-" Ritsu tried to protest but she was quickly silenced with a quick kiss.

"It's a secret" He stated decidedly. Ritsu just nodded letting him drag her off. They hopped into his grandmother's car and started to head for Masamune's home and Masamune reached across the middle seat to grasp her hand "Tell me what you've been doing since I last visited"

"Well, not much has happened, my family finally called off my arranged engagement. Akito-kun's family is really stubborn, it was frightening, they kept demanding what was wrong with him that I wouldn't to marry him. Apparently love isn't supposed to factor into marriage" Ritsu huffed.

"Arranged marriages shouldn't exist. Masamune's family may not have been overly rich but they were still in that bracket and you don't see him with an arranged marriage"

"The difference there was that Ritsu's family cares about her. Parents... well parent doesn't" Masamune argued, it didn't sit right with him that Ritsu was in an arranged engagement and he worried sometimes that Ritsu would just let her parents do as they wanted but hearing that news he felt a flood of relief.

"I'm sure my daughter cares a lot for you Masamune" His grandmother chided making Masamune scoff.

"Don't worry Masa-kun! you have us! right grandma?" Ritsu cheered.

"Of course dear" His grandmother answered with a smile
