Kikyan's POV
(Ring)
"Finally…" I sighed in relief as I gathered my books. Ever since that day when I called Riki, we have been texting and calling each other almost every day. We would talk about our day and would also be lovey dovey every once in a while…
"Hey Kikyan, what's up?" One of my friends asked. They formed around my desk as I was packing.
"Nothing much, just exhausted." I smiled back.
"I know right, but that new teacher is cute!" Another piped and folded her hands together. (Like praying if you don't know what I mean…) "The way he looks at you, smiles at you, winks at you!"
"No way! He winked at you?!" We all exclaimed.
"No… But I can picture him doing it! (Happy sigh.)" (Kinda reminds me of Anna don't you think LOL?)
"She's in her own world right now…" I giggled.
"Agreed." They rest chimed in.
"In case you girls haven't noticed, the 'cute' teacher can hear us you know…" One said making invisible quotes in mid-air.
"Whoops, let's go to our lockers and we can talk on the way!"
"Okay!"
/ / /
We all went to put our books in our lockers and to get our next hour books.
"Not again…" I muttered as a note fell out of my locker.
"You know, you should really go out with him! He had a crush on you for days!" One said excitedly. "Plus, he's the captain of the football team!"
"I guess… Not." I replied and placed the note into my planner.
"You're not going to read it?"
"I know what it's gonna say. 'You're so smart and beautiful. Your smile always lightens people when they're down. Out of all the girls I've seen, you stood out to me the most. Will you go out with me?' Or… something like that… Either that or poems… And then ends it with 'your secret admirer', even though he told me it was him…"
"Cute!"
"I guess…?" But I can't imagine anyone else standing beside me but Riki. "Anyways, Hiro's waiting for me, I gotta go. We're working on an art project together."
"Okay, okay. Sitting next to the 'Prince' huh…"
"… Prince?"
"Yeah! Hiro Sarashina is handsome! That's why all of the girls call him prince! Prince charming to be exact! You're so lucky to be able to sit with him in the cafeteria."
"Well, that's because we're good childhood friends… He always act like a big brother to me." I smiled, feeling nostalgic about the past.
"Still, he's very cute! Get his autograph for us will ya?" One winked and linked her arm with mine.
"Yeah, yeah…" I laughed and we strolled towards the cafeteria.

Hiro's POV
"Hey Kikyan!" I waved.
"Hey Hiro! I mean… Prince Charming." She winked and sat in front of me.
"Who told you that?" I smiled.
"Friends of mine. They apparently want your autograph."
"Alright, give me their names and I'll send them a pic and signature of me!" I laughed happily and Kikyan rolled her eyes at me playfully.
"Yeah yeah. Whatever you say 'your highness.'" Kikyan laughed with me and wrote down her friends' names. "Here."
"Thanks!" I happily took the piece of paper and placed it into my pocket.
"You're so popular; do I even have the right to sit with you?" Kikyan asked playfully and rests her head on her hand.
"Of course you do!" I piped.
"Haha, just making sure."
"So… How've you been?"
"Hiro, I just saw you yesterday."
"Yeah I know… But hey! Today's Friday! Wanna come over so we can start the project?"
"Sounds good what time?"
"Hmm…" I thought for a moment. "We should just meet afterschool." I suggested. "Can we do it at your place since I left my supplies there the last time we did a project together?" Oh yeah, Kikyan also rented an apartment… (The one in the game…)
"Yeah." She smiled and we started eating.
/ / /
Kikyan's POV
After eating, seeing as we had a lot of time left, we decided to plan out our project. We dumped our books on the floor and unrolled a large poster on the table…
"So…" Hiro made a serious face. He always does that when it comes to painting… (Snickers, it's kinda cute…) "Hey… what's so funny?" Hiro raised his eyebrows and scratched his head in confusion.
"Hehe nothing…"
"O-kay? So… We're gonna put the title here… Then we're gonna put one of the pictures here…" Hiro started making light lines on the poster.
"And we could put the description here?" I questioned while pointing at a blank space.
"Yeah!" Hiro drew a light outline of a box. "That's great! Then we can just start the project once we get to your house."
(RING)
"Woah! We need to get to class!" Hiro laughed. "Now transform… And roll out!"
"Hiro, no one says that anymore!" I sighed playfully as I quickly gather my books.
"Hehe, see you afterschool!"
"Bye!"
/ / /
Hiro's POV
"Woah! You're walking Kikyan to her house? You're so lucky!" My friends exclaimed and pat my back.
"Come on. We're just friends, it's not like I'm gonna ask her out."
"Can you ask her for us?"
I playfully rolled my eyes. "See ya!" I waved and ran towards Kikyan who was walking towards me.
"Hey Hiro." Kikyan smiled.
"Hey." I smiled back and hold the door open for her.
"Thanks."
"Yup. Excited for the project?"
"Yup, hope we'll do great."
"Don't worry, we will."
/ / /
Third POV
"Done!" Hiro and Kikyan high fived each other.
"Oh! I gotta go to LRN. I promised Boss that I will help him out today." Hiro said as he started packing. "Can you turn on the fan Kikyan, it's hot in here."
"Okay." Kikyan turned on the fan, accidentally blowing the papers away. "Whoops!"
"Ack!" Hiro squeaked like a girl and started chasing the papers.
"S-Sorry!" Kikyan quickly followed suit and they finally cleaned up the apartment. "Sorry about that. Here."
"Thanks." Hiro took the planner. "Wanna eat dinner at LRN?"
"I think I'm okay-"
(ZAP)
"Ahh!"
"Hey! Who turned off the lights?!" Hiro shouted.
"Um… I think the power just went out."
"Ohh… That makes sense… Did you pay your bill?"
"Of course I did!" Kikyan sighed. "This is just great… How am I supposed to cook?"
"Hmm… Why don't you came with me and you can stay at LRN for the night?" Hiro offered.
"You think the others will let me?"
"Yeah, come on!" Hiro gently pushed Kikyan out of the door, unaware of a certain love note stuck in Hiro's planner…
/ / /
Hiro's POV
"Howdy!" I exclaimed as we walked into LRN.
"Oi Sarashina! What took you? We're about to close." Riki loosened his tie.
"Sorry sorry, Kikyan and I had to finish a project." Hiro replied unfazed by Riki's tone.
"You were at Kikyan's?"
"Yup! Aaaannndddd…" I stepped to the side and nudged Kikyan forward. "HERE SHE IS!" I started clapping like a maniac and everyone stared at me as if I was some kind of dangerous specimen. "Hey! Don't look at me like that! Am I that handsome?" I titled my head to the side and playfully fluttered my eyelashes. Everyone quickly looked away. "Hmph."
"Don't worry about them Hiro, I think you're handsome." Kikyan pats my shoulder and I smirked at the others, who had their mouth hanging. Well… Except for Takkun.
"Whatever." Takkun muttered and continued typing with a sucker in his mouth.
"Any who, Kikyan's apartment ran out of power so is it okay if she stays here for a night?" I asked boss.
"Of course you can Kikyan, you can stay here anytime!" Boss laughed happily and went to give Kikyan a hug.
"Don't touch her you old geezer." Riki quickly pulled Kikyan away to the side. "You got customers to feed. No time like the present."
"Riki Yanase… So mean…" Boss muttered in a playful way and went back into the kitchen.
Kikyan's POV
"Riki… Don't be so mean…" I gave a little smile.
"What's wrong with me being a little possessive?" Riki replied as he took my hand. "Come on, I'm gonna take you to your room."
"Okay." I blushed and followed him upstairs.
"Here." He opened his room door and nudged me inside. "I didn't think you brought a change of clothes so wear this for now." He walked into his walk in closet and threw me on oversize sweater and sweatpants.
"Thanks? You think this will fit?" I placed the clothes against myself and heard him chuckle above me.
"Probably not. Or would you rather go to bed in your bra and panties?" Riki placed an arm around my torso, pulling me closer.
"N-No thanks you creep!" I pulled away and laughed as I made my way to the bathroom.
"Don't be long." Riki chuckled, leaning against the doorway to his room.
"I won't, see you." I waved and shut the door.
Third POV
By the time Riki made his way downstairs, Hiro was seeing the customers out.
"See ya ladies." Hiro winked and the girls looked as if they were going to faint.
Riki rolled his eyes. "Oh please…"
"What?" Hiro shrugged and skipped to a stool. "I'm gonna do some homework." He opened his planner and out fell the note, fluttering to the ground.
"What's this Hiro? A love note?" Kenshi bent down and stared at it.
"Maybe, I do have A LOT of fans." Hiro made his eyebrows go up and down several times, which caused Riki to roll his eyes again.
"Don't be so confident."
"Hey…" Kenshi frowned as he read the contents.
"What's the matter?" Takuto glanced up as the others gathered around.
"Is it something embarrassing about me?! Give me it!" Hiro reached his hand out, but Riki slapped it away.
"First, 'prince charming', I doubt it's anything embarrassing about you. Second, it's 'give it to me'." Riki sighed.
"Yeah yeah… Anyways, what it is Ken?" Hiro's eyes was fixed on the note.
"Well…" Kenshi started and laid the note on the table, everyone crowding over to read it.
"It's…" Takuto and Boss started.
"A love note…" Kenshi and Hiro said after.
"To Kikyan…" Riki finished.
SILENCE Besides the running of water upstairs. And a little of Kikyan's humming.
"You know Riki, ever since Kikyan came to my school; she became popular in an instant. It's not really that surprising when people like her get these notes every so often." Hiro said softly.
"Yeah… Sure…" Riki sighed and laid the note on the table. He turned around and walked upstairs.
Riki's POV
When I got up there, Kikyan was sitting on the bed, slowly drying her hair. "Ah-choo!" She shuddered.
I quietly sat on the bed right behind her and took her towel. "You're gonna catch a cold silly."
"Riki…" Kikyan blushed and turned around to look at me after I was done.
I stopped and stared into her brown eyes. Slowly, I leaned closer to her who came closer in return. I closed my eyes and our lips slowly locked. I ran my fingers through her somewhat still wet hair and slowly pushed her onto the bed, not breaking the kiss. This is torture… Knowing that Kikyan will be surrounded by many guys who want her… And the fact that I can't do anything about it… We broke the kiss when my phone beeped. Damn phone… Well… If only I can see her every day. I sighed, but then smiled as I read the contents. She titled her head and looked at me with a confused face. I guess I can see her everyday after all… I smiled evilly as I kissed her again, placing my phone back onto the nightstand, answering back with a yes…
