Kei continued to feel this urge to punch this girl in the face. She would constantly hang around Haru's swimming team and at first Kei thought she was harmless. Why would she even try to cause trouble? She's probably a fan of the other boys, right? Everyone in the whole university know that Kei and Haru were together and would most likely end up getting married one day. They were the couple that people 'shipped'. So why did she think it was okay for her to come into their lives?


"Ugh why is she here again?" Kei mumbled to herself as she waited off to the side for Haru. The light brown haired girl with green eyes hung closer to the edge of the pool. Kei glared at the girl that was oddly close to her other half. Haru had emerged from the change room and was ready to head home with Kei, but was stopped when Cho wanted to talk to him. Kei walked over to the two and put on a bright smile as she slipped her hand in Haru's. "Hi Cho! I didn't see you there."

"Hello, Mizuko-san." Cho greeted her politely. Little did Haru know, the two women in front of him were sending daggers to each other via their stares.

"Should we get going, Haru?" The black haired man looked at the woman beside him and gave her a nod.

"Ya." He answered.

"I'll see you later, Nanase-san." Cho waved goodbye to the man that she was infatuated with. Kei was happy with the fact that her and Haru were on a first name basis and that Cho was nowhere near close to having that relationship with Haru.


Haru had his arm wrapped around Kei's waist comfortably as she stood beside him. Her bright smile was pointed only at Haru as his friends continued to take pictures of the cute couple in front of them. Kei wore a light blue A-line cocktail dress. It was made of satin around the bodes and hugged her curves as it changed into a cute tulle skirt for the bottom that stopped right before her knees. Around the left breast was silver detailing that swirled and curved all the way to the back. On the bottom left side of her tulle skirt the same silver detailing was placed there. Haru wore a matching light blue tie and a white button up shirt with a black blazer and trousers to match. It was the yearly athletic banquet and Haru wanted Kei to come as his date.

"You two are so cute!"

"I want a relationship like that!"

"You two are relationship goals!"

"Thank you." Kei thanked Haru's teammates girlfriends as she giggled at their excitement. Haru kept a firm grip on Kei's hand and felt comforted by the fact that she was with him.

"Nanase-san!" Kei turned around and saw Cho running up to the pair.

"Hi, Cho." Haru greeted the brunette in front of him.

"Do you like my dress?" She twirled around, so she could show off her light green dress. The top was made out of lace and turned into a straight chiffon cut dress that stopped at her knees.

"Sure." Haru didn't have any interest in the dress Cho was wearing – he was just being polite to the girl.

"Your tie looks really nice, but I think it's a little crooked." She went to step closer to him, but that's when Kei finally stepped into the situation.

"Here, let me have a look." As she looked at his tie and lightly placed her hand on the material she smiled up at him. "It looks perfect." She turned to look at Cho. "Thanks for that, but it's perfectly fine, so I think Haru and I should go sit down."


The black haired girl had enough. Kei managed to walk over to the familiar brunette that was getting to comfortable with her other half that it made her uncomfortable. She wasn't mad at Haru because he never initiated anything between the two, but she was furious with Cho, the girl who didn't know when to stop.

"Cho."

"Oh, Kei. What can I help you with?" She asked as she crossed her arms over her chest. Kei noticed the baked treats that Cho had cooked for Haru and Kei felt like tripping them out of her hand and throwing them across the room.

"Leave Haru alone. I don't know if you noticed, but he doesn't like you and honestly, you're just really bothering me now, so I want you to leave and never come back." Cho began to laugh at the threat that Kei threw her way, but Haru walked over to the two and grabbed Kei's hand.

"Ready to go?" He simply asked. She nodded her head as she looked up at him.

"Wait, Nanase-san!" Haru looked over at the girl that had been hanging around him recently. "You deserve better than Kei! She's controlling and obsessive. She just threatened me and I can treat you better." Haru looked at her with his trademark bored expression before answering her,

"She didn't threaten you, she just told you the truth. Please, leave me alone and I don't deserve her because she's perfect to me." And with that Haru turned himself and Kei around and began to walk away from Cho. Kei was surprised at what he said because he never says anything like that about her and she just stared up at him in amazement. "I thought you never get jealous?"

"I don't! I'm just protective." She retorted. A small smile came across his face as he heard her say that. "I love you, you know that, right?" He looked at her and nodded his head.

"Yes, and I love you too." A giant smile crossed her face as they continued to walk home together. "So…I can have mackerel tonight?"
