It was Saturday and Renji was waiting for the others to reach the station. They had ended practice an hour ago so they all could go home, freshen up and meet up at the train station to go on their outing. He bought eight tickets for the boys, since Arima had insisted (guess why) they come separately.

He sat on a bench waiting for the others. The station was more or less empty. Not a lot of people were eager to come out at 10:37 am on a Saturday morning, unless they had plans, of course. Their district prelims were up in a solid two weeks. Their practice was going pretty good. They were as usual, aiming for the nationals. They were used to going on outings for bonding and stuff. But this outing was to serve them two-ways. Bonding and a certain fukubuchou's potential love interest.

Renji snapped out of his thoughts when he saw Niou and Akaya calling out to him. "Hey!" Akaya greeted excitedly. Niou grinned at the second year ace. "He's so excited, he'd been skipping all the way to the station." Akaya's face turned red at that. "I-I did not!" he protested weakly.

They talked for a while before the others joined them and they headed towards their given platform. They then boarded the train and off they went. The journey was uneventful sans Yukimura almost constantly texting someone. It did raise a few questions, but no one dared to push it.

After about an hour's ride, they finally reached their destined station. They then walked to the amusement park where they had planned to hangout. They all went through the gates after buying their tickets and were heading towards various rides, when they looked back to see Yukimura, Renji and Niou not coming with them. "Come on you guys!" Jackal and Akaya called impatiently (apparently Jackal was pretty excited too). Yukimura only smiled at them. "Yes, but we have to wait a bit. We have two friends joining us today." Niou and Renji nodded in agreement.

"Friends?" Sanada asked tilting his head. So are these the people he'd been texting all this time? He looked up to see two figures heading towards them. Sanada felt his eyes widened and jaw drop at sight unfolding in front of him. He could NOT believe this.

Kimihiro and Arima had reached the amusement park around 11:30, earlier than the boys, and had decided to explore. Arima had forced Kimihiro to come to the park separately with her claiming that the boys might stink since they were coming from their practice. Even though Kimihro couldn't really imagine that happening, she knew better than to argue with her friend. She knew Arima could be a low-key creep sometimes. But not on a Yukimura Seiichi-Level. Which was a relief.

Arima reached her home at 8 in the morning saying it was necessary to dress nicely. Needless to say that both girls had fun dressing up together. At 9:30 they left Kimihiro's house. Arima was dressed in a form-fitting striped crop top and black shorts. Kimihiro on the other hand refused to wear anything adventurous. In the end, she agreed to wear an over-sized shirt tucked into a pair of denim shorts.

After getting a text from Yukimura, they headed near the gates, where he had said they were. Arima called out to the group.

Sanada couldn't believe his eyes. He had seen her in casual attire before. But today, wow, he thought. Arima was there with her, but he could only see Kimihiro. The shorts she wore made her curves more apparent and revealed a pair of long shapely legs. He didn't fail to notice the attention she was getting. A lot of boys were staring at both girls as they greeted the others in the group. He glared at them when they met his gaze.

Niou, standing beside Sanada let out a whistle. "Nice legs, Elle." He said winking. Sanada shot him a glare, which he ignored. Kimihhiro's face turned bright red, "Oh shut up. Baka Haru." She scoffed. "Kimi senpai and Arima senpai is here too!" Akaya jumped up and down excitedly. They all talked for a while then walked towards the roller coaster.

Arima and Yukimura nodded to each other. They had planned this outing quite thoroughly. As soon as their turn on the roller coaster came, Arima immediately paired up with Yukimura, Jackal with Marui and Renji with Yagyuu. The ones that were left were, Niou, Kimihro, Sanada and Akaya. And before Sanada could make a move, Niou pulled Kimihiro onto the seat next to him. Sanada was left standing with Akaya. And he was not happy.

Akaya on the other hand gulped nervously. Ever since the library incident, he had carefully avoided being alone with the fukubuchou. He had prayed for anyone to ride with him except Sanada. But luck was not on his side. He reluctantly took a seat beside the, now stone faced, fukubuchou.

The ride was entertaining, to say the least. Jackal, despite being one of the most enthusiastic ones, was screaming and clawing at Marui's arm, whose bubble gum bubble had popped and was sticking to his face. Renji and Yagyuu were frozen in their seats. Arima and Yukimura were probably the only ones enjoying the ride. Niou was screaming and having fun with Kimihiro by his side holding onto his arm and laughing. Sanada wanted to kick Niou off the roller coaster. How dare he! I will make him run a thousand laps! Get away from him Ellen! He thought while desperately trying to control his temper and the wailing Akaya beside him.

Akaya, probably having the worst seatmate ever, was screaming from his fright and his fukubuchou. He was having a hard time controlling his fear and the faces that Sanada was making made him wail harder. He, on the verge of tears, prayed for the ride to end so he could escape his fukubuchou.

Akaya's prayers were heard and the ride ended soon. They all tumbled out of their seats and exited the ride. Kimihiro was still holding on to Niou's arm. "That was so cool, ne?" she said excitedly. Niou only chuckled and looked around casually. He saw Sanada glaring daggers at him and smirked. I hope all this gets fixed before the fukubuchou has my head.

They had ice cream and cotton candy. Marui and Kimihiro stuck together during this part of the outing since both of them loved sweets. They tried different candies together and chatted. Arima and Yukimura, the masterminds of the plan, observed how Kimihro's actions affected Sanada.

Sanada crushed his ice cream cone seeing Marui and Kimihiro sharing their ice creams with each other. He didn't even notice Jackal eating his cotton candy because he was too busy watching Kimihiro. Almost everyone could tell Sanada was acting weird. And they all knew why. Except for Yukimura, Niou and Renji, none of the boys knew that the girls were joining them. But it was now clear to them that their fukubuchou was head-over-heels for Kimihiro. And they were ready to help him out in any way they could.

"But if we're trying to get the fukubuchou and Kimihiro together, why are we making him angry?" Jackal asked. "We're not making Sanada angry. We're making him jealous. It should make him realize his feelings for Kimihiro." Yukimura explained. "You mean to say he doesn't even know about his feelings yet?!" Marui asked, shocked. Arima nodded laughing.

They were now having lunch and Sanada's entire attention was on Kimihiro and Niou, which is why the others were able to discuss the issue freely. Niou was letting Kimirio eat from his plate and was whispering things to her and making her laugh. Sanada was fuming. He had the sudden urge to take Kimihro away from Niou and the others. I really can't stand any other guy being with her. He gulped hard. Was he jealous? Was that even possible?

They went on more rides after lunch. Kimihiro had carefully avoided Sanada the entire day. She had noticed him staring at her a lot of times. You avoided me the same way for two weeks. No way am I talking to you now. She stayed with Niou most of the time. He was nice and friendly. Unlike a certain gorilla.

They headed for the final ride of the day, which was the Ferris wheel. The sun was setting. It was the perfect time to ride the Ferris wheel.

This time though everyone paired up and got into their cars, leaving Sanada and Kimihiro standing alone. They awkwardly shuffled into their passenger car when it was their turn. And the ride began.

They sat across from each other in awkward silence as their cabin went up. Kimihiro stood up and watched the scenery that the windows and the height provided. It was beautiful. The setting sun made the scenery complete. She didn't notice Sanada standing behind her.

"Kimihiro," he called, stepping closer to her. Kimihiro only looked sideways to show that he'd been heard. "I want to talk to you." "I don't." she said, turning her head to watch the sun set again. His desperation was getting the better of him, and on impulse, Sanada grabbed her arm and turned her around. "Why are you doing this? I don't like anyone else getting too close to you." Kimihiro stared, wide eyed. She opened her mouth to say something but was cut off with the Ferris wheel lurching to a stop, making Sanada slam into her due to the sudden movement.

Sanada's hands were on either side of Kimihiro's head. His large physique trapping all her escape routes. They were at the very top. But neither of them were seeing the vast landscape that lay beneath them nor the setting sun in front. No, they stood there for the longest time, unaware of everything around them.

Suddenly aware of her surroundings, Kimihiro pushed Sanada away. But Sanada pulled her back against him. She struggled in his hold, but stopped, as Sanada tilted her chin up.

"I love you." Sanada admitted with a sigh. He couldn't hide his feelings anymore. Kimihiro puffed her cheeks and hid her face in his chest. "Baka" she grumbled, putting her arms around his neck. And Sanada immediately knew that she felt the same way. Funny how love works.

And as the last rays of the setting sun colored the sky, Sanada pressed his mouth against Kimihiro's in a deep and passionate kiss.

And the rest was history.
