The wind blowed on top of the cliff, hitting the mountains hard below. One has been still for the past four hours now, waiting for his promise to come and warm him up. Physically and mentally. His forehead is cold and his blond hair is flowing through the air stream.

Andy wouldn't admit it, but he's afraid that she has forgotten about him, she was supposed to be here around 5 PM and it's now 9...
She must have took a detour. Such a long one though probably meant she forgot about him. Maybe she has a hard time bringing over the tea? No that's impossible, she's a manager.

This distracted him from his meditation, nonetheless he is pretty certain of what his feelings are for her but... He's slightly afraid she is uninterested, she's kind to him just like the other boys of her dojo. What if Benimaru already brought her to a date, grr...

"I'll go talk to her-" He stood up abruptly, " What if I shouldn't?- Well I have to either way" He twitched from left to right, as if he was balancing himself on a rope, "What do I do, what do I do.. Rah! Oh well! I'm going to go see her b-but because it's cold here!" Andy screamed out in a fit, walking down the staircase feeling furious at himself.

21:00 - Night

The staircase seemed shorter than in the climb as he got back to the village in a breeze. He ran to the sauna and went to the boys sauna, there was Jubei casually taking his evening bath, Andy came up to him looking sweaty, "Jubei!-" "AH, you scared me boy!" He screeched as he stopped scratching himself with a scrub, "What's wrong?" He asked calmly then. Andy took deep breaths (that just inhaled warm air which didn't help) and asked looking stressed, "Where is Yukari?", at this question, Jubei looked right through him and answered, "I don't know. Last I saw her, she was carrying this heavy tea pot and fell in the river beside the stairs." At these words, Andy sparked up, "WHAT!?" but Jubei raised his hand, "Hey hey! Calm down, your little girlfriend was saved by Mai, she took her to the dorms and I haven't seen them since then." He turned back to the sauna and Andy knew that was all.

"Mai..."

Yawn

Was the only thing coming out of my mouth as I layed there with Mai right beside me. The lights were still on and we were just enjoying each others company, I was reading the magazine I brought to read in the car, Benimaru picked the newest issue for me in the noon of my departure. Mai seemed to be bothered suddenly, she seemed to pay attention and I would soon understand as I heard thumping become louder and louder!

SLEE

The door slid open as it revealed Andy, panicked and furiously glancing his look around the room, "Mai! Yukari!" He screamed out which wouldn't but surprised Mai, "Shh! It's late you know.", "Wh-what are you doing with Yukari, Mai!?" Andy kept on screaming which slightly scared me, "She was supposed to bring me over tea! What did you do?"
Silence settled, Mai looked over to me and I looked over to her, she seemed to have an idea, she nodded and looked back to Andy and answered, "We're having a sleepover!", He stopped for a second and said numigly, "A sleepover? Since when?" Mai looked at me and said, "Since yesterday night." She looked back, "We're just chilling! I showed Yukari my metal tapes!" Mai continued patting the floor, inviting Andy to take a seat. "Hmph. Okay, but you could have told me Yukari that you had this planned." Andy said as he sat down in front of us. We were now all sitting in a circle on the sheets, in silence.

...

The long silence is drawn out by Andy's panting, I tried to look at him in the eyes but I can't bring myself to. Mai also looked a little disturbed, as if she didn't expect him. "So Andy, how is training coming along?" I asked trying to spark up a conversation, "Well it has been disturbed and it's far from over, but I think I am making progress in departments that I've never seeked before." I could see Andy was blushing as he answered, Mai noticed as well, she got up and left. I hope she isn't mad. After a little bit, Andy sighed with relief, "Yukari, what did Mai tell you?"

"Back!" Before I could answer, Mai jumped on Andy with a bottle in hand!
After landing on the floor, Mai got up, boasted her chest, "I got a game to play! Could you two guess what it is?" She leaned to us, me and Andy looked at each other confused. "A bottle? What about it?" Andy said, a little annoyance could be felt in his voice. Mai looked at Andy with a bright smile, "We will play spin the bottle!" She said joyfully, "Spin the... Bottle?" I couldn't help but ask, right before Mai explained, Andy got up and angrily said, "I refuse to play!".

"Mai and I looked at him surprised but after a little interval, Mai answered "Well I'll just play with Yukari then!", Andy stopped and looked back in shock, he tried to speak but he was flabergasted, after regaining his composure, "You can't play this game with only two people. You would just be me making out with each other!" He pointed at us, slightly sweating which Mai obviously took notice, she giggled, laughing gently, she looked at me with a... Different expression and she said, "Exactly", wink.

He looked at us with such wide eyes that I swear I saw it's veins, he started becoming all red and sweaty, "Yukari don't tell me you're attracted to girls!?" He asked and strangely, that made me twitch, with anger I spat out, "That is the sphere of my private life Andy!"...

The room fell silent as Andy fell to his knees, his eyes dropped as he didn't dare to look at me anymore. I realised what I've done as Mai looked at me a little upset, "Ah Andy! I'm so sorry for shouting at you like that..." I apologized as I hoped I didn't go too far.

Mai walked up to Andy and crouched to his level, "W-Well! Andy? Mind joining us now?", Andy looked up to her and filled with determination, he answered "Yes! I will!"

I spent years on this chapter as I am not at all inspired.
