Fugu slowly opened her eyes, as she stretched, she felt something with her hand as she slid against it, she realized it was Michi, as she got up, realizing that during the night she had began cuddling him, the bed even looked like she was chasing him around the bed as she tried holding onto him. Fugu's face was red as she got up, grabbing her phone, seeing the time.

"9:12 am"

She slowly grabbed the door, turning the door knob as the door opened, she looked back at the sleeping Michi, before walking to the bed. Grabbing her old clothes from under the bed, as she exit the room. She quickly walked to her room, 408, as she used her keycard to open the door, she swung open the door, seeing Shizu and Toma laying in the bed with no clothes, she let out a shocked gasp as she dropped everything.

"OH MY GOD!"

Fugu's reaction caused Shizu and Toma to wake up, shocking them both, as Shizu grabbed his pants, sliding them on under the covers as Toma covered herself with the bed's comforter.

"OH MY GOD."

Shizu put his hand out towards his sister trying to calm her down

"sis wait just wait let me-"

"OH MY GOD. YOU FUCKED MY BROTHER."

Fugu looked at Toma shocked as her face was red as she hid it in the blanket. As Shizu hid his face in his shirt as he put it on, he awkwardly shrugged

"it uh... we took time to ourselves...?"

Fugu closed her eyes as she shook her head

"DO NOT- I don't wanna know Shizu. I just... I need a shower, and I need a change of clothes... please."

Fugu grabbed her bag, ripping it open as she pulled out a change of clothes, bra, panties, and such. As she walked towards the shower, Toma, spoke in an embarrassed voice.

"...You might want to rinse it first..."

the room was silent for a second, as Fugu's voice erupted from the shower.

"OHHHH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOD!"

Shizu slowly backed out of the room as he ran towards his room, he opened the door and slammed it, Senshi and Hana were sitting in the room playing cards.

"oh! Shizu, where the hell were you all night?!" Senshi asked as he looked at Shizu's bed, well made.

"we waited for you guys but then the lock down happened. So we went to bed.. why is your face so pale?!"

Shizu shrugged as he grabbed his bag grabbing some clothes.

"nothing! Nothing I just need a morning shower! Haha! Uhh Hana! Is that your phone?!"

Shizu grabbed Hana's phone out of her hand, as she was opening her text messages, as Shizu glanced at the message, it was from Fugu, Shizu tossed the phone into Senshi's bag as he ran into the shower, nervously sweating as he slammed the door.

"what the fuck?" Hana said angrily as she searched through Senshi's bag, trying to find her phone, as Senshi knocked on the bathroom door.

"you good man?? What happened last night?!"

Shizu hesitated as he tried to think of what to say...

"I... I... um... can.. can you get Michi?! Please??"

Senshi stepped away from the door, as he looked at Hana, who's face was shocked as she began laughing, kicking her feet into the air, she kept texting Fugu as Senshi opened the room door,

"I'm gonna go get Michi then... try to keep Shizu company.." Senshi said as he walked out, walking around the resort, greeting classmates and fellow UA Students, he knocked on Michi's door.

"HEY! MICHI!! Wake up man!!"

Michi was startled awake by the knocking, as he got up, he scratched his head, he looked at the time.

"9:18"

Michi put on a shirt as he looked at the other side of the bed, seeing that Fugu was gone, Michi opened the door, seeing a concerned Senshi.

"What? What is it?!"

Senshi shrugged "it's Shizu. He keeps asking for you. He locked himself in the bathroom of our room last night."

Michi had a concerned look on his face as he started walking, side by side to Senshi.

"he didn't tell you anything?!"

"just to grab you."

Michi opened the door to the room, as Hana, Toma, and Fugu surrounded the door.

"Shizu I'm not mad! I was shocked alright?! Please come out.."

Fugu desperately tried talking to her brother as Michi walked in

"what the hell is going on?!" Michi asked as he saw the girls surrounding the door, Senshi went up to all of them

"is he answering???"

"no he's not. I think he's a little embarrassed.." Toma admitted as Michi walked up to the door.

"hey man.. it's Michi.. the hell's up man?" Michi asked as he knocked on the door, still no answer

"guys, can I have the room, if you don't mind?" Michi asked as everyone began to back up, "we'll set aside two plates of breakfast for you guys.." Fugu stated, as everyone walked off, arguing began to ensue amongst the group left the room. Michi slid against the door as he took a deep breath.

"alright man. It's just me and you. What's going on?"

Shizu hesitated as he looked at his phone, awkwardly he confessed

"Toma and I had the room to ourselves and um... well... we.."

Michi nodded as his eyes widened "Woah. Okay okay. So it's that kind of conversation." Michi scratched his head as he took a deep breath. "What's the problem exactly?! I thought you liked Toma."

Shizu let out a sigh, "it wasn't about love.. it was just.."

Michi nodded "ohhh.. a link up?"

"a link up."

Michi shrugged, as he wasn't sure what to say, "well, did you talk to her about it? And then things got bad or something?"

Shizu shook his head. "No.. we fell asleep, didn't have a chance.. I planned to do it after I woke up, but then Fugu walked in, and well... I guess I kind of freaked out about people knowing."

Michi nodded as he tried to understand.

"are you embarrassed people know you HAD sex or that it was with Toma?"

Shizu let out an aggravated sigh as he grabbed his hair, pulling on it.

"I don't know! Fuck! I just didn't want everyone knowing until we talked about it I guess. Or maybe it's just the embarrassment of being caught?"

Michi shrugged as he looked at the roof of the room.

"Well. Everyone knows. Are you gonna hide in the bathroom for the rest of the break or are you gonna go and spend more time with Toma, and everyone?"

Shizu shrugged "maybe."

Michi rolled his eyes "that wasn't an invite Shizu. I'm telling you, don't dwell on it. Who knows, maybe something good will come of this."

Shizu nodded thankfully as he unlocked the door, giving Michi a hug as they walked out of the apartment, as they went down stairs, they spotted the friend group sitting around the table, Shizu paused for a second

"what if I ruined things with Toma and I?! What if I don't have a chance with her after all?!"

Michi swatted Shizu on the back "I don't think Toma is the kinda girl to do it with someone she doesn't like. Come on man, have confidence, go sit by her."

Michi walked over to the table, pulling out a seat next to Senshi as Michi and him did a handshake, before sitting. As Shizu sat down, awkwardly next to Toma, she smiled as she slid a plate of food to Shizu, as they conversed, Shizu seemed to become less nervous being around everyone again.

Hours later. Michi and everyone had been exploring the resort, going to a wave pool, enjoying the wonders of the resort took so much time, they most definitely would not have enough time to see everything. Suddenly, the girls stopped, pointing out a massage parlor, Toma began pulling Shizu into the parlor, as Senshi followed his girlfriend inside, knowing he had no choice. As Fugu walked in, Michi was walking away towards other attractions, before Fugu's hand grabbed his, pulling him dramatically towards the massage parlor.

"Don't be a hermit crab! You're coming too dumbass!"

Michi let out a sigh as he was being dragged

"I don't want some stranger touching me though!"

Lou appeared as he had an angry expression

"WHAT IF THE MASSEUSE A MAN?!"

Michi shuttered as Fugu laughed, rolling her eyes

"don't be a baby! Massages are relaxing!"

after a few minutes, the girls and guys were separated and given towels. Michi stepped into the room, seeing a single table, he swallowed his spit nervously as he selected a massage, "luxury" as he laid down, keeping his towel on, he put his head in the head rest as he waited, when he saw a pair of legs walk into the room.. seeing the hair on the muscular legs scared him as he screamed out

"ITS A MAN!!! STOP STOP!"

Michi began struggling as he tried getting up, as he was being held down

"NAH NAH ITS FINE, WHOEVER'S NEXT CAN GO, NEXT! NEXT! PLEASE!!"

Senshi let out a laugh as he fell to his ass, unable to contain his laughter as Shizu recorded everything.. Shizu snickered as he lowered the video, sending it to Fugu and everyone else.

Michi let out a sigh of relief as Senshi and Shizu left the room, until a man walked in with a strong Russian accent

"I will be your masseuse." The man stated as Michi cried out for help.

afterwards, everyone looked very relaxed as Michi looked worse than before. As Senshi opened the map as he tried to find something fun to do next. Senshi scanned the map before stopping.

"oh a matchmaking booth. Two people walk in, and it gives them a % rating."

everyone looked bizarrely as they shrugged, following Senshi as they got to the booth, a long line stretched, as they waited, until finally it was Senshi and Hana's turn, who jokefully got into the booth, waiting until they popped out...

"calculating..."

Michi laughed as he patted Senshi

"here comes the 12%..."

when suddenly it broadcasted a number "86%" Hana and Senshi both brightly smiled as they high fived each other, as Shizu pointed at the station..

"Do you.. wanna give it a try..?" Shizu asked nervously, as Toma laughed get in there you big lug." Toma pushed Shizu in as she did as well, after a few seconds they popped out, awaiting their calculation, Shizu looked like he was holding his breath.

"Breathe, dude. Breathe." Senshi said as he pushed Shizu.

"80%"

Shizu's face was bright red as he glanced at Toma, as he expected her not to have much of an expression when he was surprised by her red face, as she held her hair.

"Alright, next spot, right?" Michi spoke as he walked away, before Senshi suggested, "come on, you and Fugu's turn."

"we're not a couple." Michi said as his face was slightly red. When suddenly Hana chimed in "neither is Toma and Shizu, they went in anyway! Come on you're holding up the line!"

Michi slowly entered the booth as he sat down, he glanced at Fugu in the other booth, seeing her through the window, as Fugu waved, she laughed as Michi also laughed at the ridiculousness of the booth. As they stepped out Michi looked at Fugu.

"you ready for 10%?!"

Fugu laughed "totally. More like 1% as in the 1% that should never..."

"95%"

Michi and Fugu stared at the number as they both avoided each other, as Michi stated walking by Senshi

"it's all a random algorithm anyway! That was dumb. You're dumb."

Senshi had a sad expression as he stopped

"but.. I didn't say anything."

The group began breaking apart, one by one each went to go do their own thing. At 8:40 pm, Michi got to his hotel room, smiling happily as he looked at the bed.

"...bed."

Michi fell into bed as he closed his eyes, a smile on his face as he began to dream about the day he had today, when suddenly he dreamt of being at a beach, holding a woman's hand as they walked across the beach

"Michi... Michi...!"

Michi turned his head, facing the woman, she wore a beautiful sun dress as she turned her head, Fugu smiled as she hugged Michi

"Michi...!"

Michi was shaken awake as he looked at his phone

8:43

Michi opened up the door after hearing the knocking, after he did, he was face to face with Fugu again.

"yo." Fugu said with a wave, she held a small bag in her hands behind her as she was dressed in a black t shirt and shorts.. Michi's eyes widened as he asked

"what's up??" Michi asked casually, as Fugu sighed

"Can I stay the night? One more time? I'm still not happy with Toma, and everything that happened."

Michi moved away from the doorframe, allowing Fugu to walk in, as she did michi asked, "I thought you told Shizu you weren't mad, what changed?"

"I'm not mad at Shizu, but I'm mad at Toma. It's a girl friend sort of problem." Fugu stated as she sat down on the bed, she softly placed her bag as she crossed her legs.

"are you okay if I stay here?" Fugu asked, self conscious about last night, as michi nodded

"I mean... It's fine, I don't mind the company, if it's what you want."

Michi closed the door. As it closed, it got locked into place. Michi sat in the bed as he crossed his hands.

"so..."

"so..."

the two looked at each other, when Michi laughed it off "How does a movie sound?"

"I could go for a movie or two before I go to bed." Fugu said, as she got into the bed, taking off her shoes as she got under the covers. Michi moved into the bed as well, sitting close to Fugu, as they went through tons of movies. They couldn't come up with a movie to watch until they saw a rom com they both thought they would like. As the movie played out, the two laughed together, making jokes themselves, before their hands accidentally met. For a moment, they were both apprehensive about it, before interlocking fingers, they held onto each others hands, before later cuddling up to one another, Fugu laid her head on Michi's chest, listening to his heart, and his lungs inflate made her own heart race as she smiled.. "Is this fine? I'm not crushing you, right??" Michi looked confused, "crushing me? What does that mean?" Fugu adjusted herself, trying to get off of michi slightly "nothing..." Michi put his arm around Fugu, his hand resting on her thigh.

"What do you think everyone is up to right now back home?" Michi asked, thinking about his dad, and sister..

"I don't know, living their lives, I guess." Fugu was watching the movie, as the main characters finally kissed, bringing satisfaction to the movie, Fugu sat up, looking at Michi

"I miss our game nights.. When we're back home, we're grinding out Passive Corp, you got it?!" Fugu stated, pointing at Michi

"But I hate passive Corp... It's so boring, and-"

Fugu jumped onto michi, being very compassionate about her favorite video games, she began wrestling with michi.

"Don't you ever call passive Corp boring!!!" Fugu stated as she was on top of Michi, to his surprise, she's gotten insanely strong, Michi let out a laugh as he threw fugu onto the bed, pushing her down this time. "Never!! I'll die where I stand!" The two continued, until a loud moan filled the room. Causing the two to stop for a moment. Another. The both of them looked at the tv, as the movie shows a suggestive scene. Michi looked down at fugu, realizing where he was holding himself up... he was exactly on top of fugu, as he could see everything.. Michi's eyes widened, so did Fugu's before they both erupted into laughter. Michi fell over onto the bed as he couldn't contain himself, fugu laid on top of him as she laughed even harder.

"you should have seen your face!! Holy shit!! Even a closest Virgin can hide his embarrassment better that you!!"

Michi pushed her off as he laughed too. " You should have seen yourself! You were petrified!! You looked like a deer in front of headlights!!"

after a while, the two friends calmed down, as they caught their breath, Fugu looked at Michi, curiously, slightly red.

"do you remember when we used to play house as kids?" Fugu asked with a smile on her face

Michi rolled his eyes "Yeah I remember.. We used to walk around holding each others hands.. calling ourselves husband and wife. I think I still have a few videos saved."

Michi pulled out his phone, as Fugu had her head sitting on his shoulder, he began scrolling through his albums, and after some surfing through his saved photos, Michi stopped on a video.

"here's one!"


Naomi held up her phone as she recorded Michi and Fugu, age 5 as they held each others hands, it seems that Michi was in a bit of a bad mood, as Fugu was brightly smiling... suddenly Michi blurted out

"moooOooom stOoooop!!"

he shouted as he still held onto Fugu's hand, naomi laughed as she kept recording

"I'm sorry sweetie but you're too cute! You will thank me one day for recording this!!"


Michi and Fugu began laughing hysterically watching the video, when Michi commented,

"I guess we never grew out of the hand holding phase.."

Fugu rolled her eyes as she looked at her hand, then had a sly idea

"oh yeah? Let's take the next step!"

Michi looked confused at Fugu's proposal.

"marriage?"

"no. Dumb ass. Let's try... maybe let's try a kiss."

Michi looked at Fugu confused

"a kiss?!"

"just like a peck! It doesn't have to mean anything, just us... goofing off. I'm curious.. I guess."

Michi shrugged as he wasn't sure what to say.

"I mean... I guess.. I'm kind of curious too.. I can't really lie. I've never kissed someone.. before."

Fugu shrugged as she reassured Michi and herself.

"we got this. Easy."

as Fugu and Michi leaned in towards each other, Fugu kind of realized; wondering what the hell did she initiate?! As she began to have second thoughts, a slight peck hit both their lips, as they pulled away, Michi shrugged, as they both erupted into laughter.

"what the hell were we thinking?" Michi said as he moved his hair out of his face,

"clearly that couple's box got into our heads." Fugu stated as she played with her hair, they both paused for a minute, as the room fell silent... Fugu asked a wishful question: "did you feel anything? Any "BAM" or "wow" feelings??"

Michi shrugged. "More like a "something touched my lips" feeling. Clearly, we didn't go deep enough." Michi said sarcastically as Fugu asked, "do you really think so...?" Michi turned his head nervously as he tried to play it off.

"oh I'm sure it's just.. you know a couples.. thing... about kissing being "woah" you know."

Fugu slightly moved closer, with a light burning in her chest. "Do you want to find out... with me?"

Michi nodded slowly, as Fugu took in a deep breath, Michi placed his hand under Fugu's chin, as he pulled her in, causing her heart to flutter. Right as their lips met. At first, nothing happened, until Fugu opened her lips, following Michi, as their lips became intertwined they pulled each other in closer, as the kiss got more intense, they both suddenly stopped, pulling away from one another, holding on to each other. Michi let out a grunt.

"woah.. I'm.. woah. I think I get it."

Fugu nodded as she pulled away. "Yeah... um.. let's keep that between us.. okay?" Fugu said softly as she held her chest. Turning away.. unsure if it was truthfully the kiss that made it all feel so right, or if it truly was the right person. Fugu knew deep down what it really was.. how she really felt. While Michi had to turn around to hide his excitement.. and his guilt.

"Michi?"

"Yeah, yeah... between us, even Lou ain't gonna know."

Fugu nodded, her face red, remembering the feeling, until she got up, and moved the blankets, getting into the bed.

"thank you but... we can still talk about it.. it doesn't have to be taboo." Fugu said as Michi got into the bed as well, "yeah I know, I just don't wanna be weird about it."

As Michi and Fugu were in bed, they looked at each other in the bed, as they both said good night, closing their eyes in-front of one another.


Six days later.

everyone began packing up their things. Michi went through his room, packing his clothes and his souvenirs, a smile on his face as he looked at a Photo Booth photo of himself and everyone, but the last photo being of himself and Fugu, a soft smile on both of them, as Fugu's head laid on Michi's shoulder, he folded the photo, putting it into his wallet as he walked out of his room, closing the door, and leaving the card in the door. As he walked out of the resort, he wore a black shirt, white bomber jacket, and a baggy pair of jeans, as he approached Shizu, who was wearing a shirt with the resort's logo on, was dealing with a sugar rush hang over

"miiichiiii! How's your head feeling?!"

Michi tapped on his head with a laugh "I'm surviving Shizu."

Senshi was wearing black shorts and a white compression shirt as Hana was wearing the opposite colors, most likely her idea of matching, as a bright smile was on her face.. Toma and Fugu waited in line to get on the shuttle, Toma was dressed in a brown shirt, tucked into a skirt, while Fugu wore a pair of tight jeans, a grey shirt, and a brown hoodie as she waved at everyone approaching the shuttle.

"took you guys a while, thought we were gonna have to send in an extraction team!" Midoriya commented as he filed the students in a line, while Shizu looked amazed

"would you actually?!" Shizu said excited

"no. I would've just gone to get you myself." Midoriya said with a smile. As everyone filed into the ship, they all got ready for the long ride that was back to earth.
