"I thought we're going on a road trip? What are we doing here in front of my house then?" Eichi asked while looking at their house's door.

She expected something more thrilling. Like how fast he drives that somehow will make her scared of the police, the strong wind embracing her while they're in the middle of the road and something like, looking how the sun sets while riding. She expected something like that.

"I forgot to gas up..."Baji answered, scratching his neck." Sorry... "he added and let out a little chuckle.

Eichi just shook her head. Well, seems like it can't be helped then. She got off from his bike.

" Are you mad, senpai? "he suddenly asked, looking all down because he didn't took her for a long ride just like how he say so.

" What do you mean? "She asked, all confused.

" I mean... I didn't take you for a long ride and just drop you off here instead... "

Eichi wanted to laugh hard by his reason. Does he really think I' m getting mad by that?

" If it is okay... I-I could treat you to something instead... Right! Is there something you want to eat senpai? I'll buy it for you. "he said. Looking all desperate to make up from his failed attempt of taking her for long ride.

She smirked and slowly grabbed his loosen up neck tie. Baji stilled with the sudden move, he gulped. Eichi even leaned closer to him that made him palpitate and sudden feeling of sweating.

" I want to eat you.... Can I? "she whispered to his ear. Holy shit! Is she serious right now?! We're still in front of their house? What if someone saw us?! I mean it's not like I don't want someone to see us, in fact I'd love that so that people think that Eichi is already dating someone, but Eichi surely don't want that...

"Of course you can." despite of panicking inside, he managed to return the favor by grabbing her waist closer to him. Being slightly intimate to each other publicly.

Seconds after, Eichi giggled in between of his neck and shoulders. She even hugged him because she can't hold her laugh.

"Why are you laughing?" Baji asked confused but still smiling. Realization hit him and made his eyes widened.

"I'm just kidding! Jeez! You're right though, dirty jokes are fun especially if it's with you." she said, mocking his voice from earlier while laughing. She then broke from the hug, holding her stomach and still laughing.

"Oi senpai! You played with my feelings! What if I got a sudden boner because of what you did? What will you do then, huh?!" Baji complained and messed up his long hair.

"Why are you blaming me?!" she asked, still laughing. Geez, I inhaled a good amount of air already. Stop laughing, Eichi! She told herself. "That's your business, you should take care of that alone." she added.

Suddenly, Baji hold her right hand and pulled it towards him. Eichi's eye widened thinking where he will place her hand so she immediately pulled back. Baji figured out that Eichi already know where he supposed to place her hand as a joke so he laughed and let go of her hand.

"You dumbass! What if I literally touched that?!" she asked.

"So? It's not like you haven't touched it yet." With that, Eichi shut up. Speechless to what he said. Yeah right... But still.

"Whatever!" she rolled her eyes and decided to take off her helmet Baji gave her. "Hold this. I'll change clothes then we'll go for a walk instead." she handed him her helmet. Even though it is hers, she still entrusted it to Baji since it doesn't feel right to her to keep that.

"A walk? What am I... a dog?"

Eichi glared at him. "You don't want to? Then it's fine. I could sleep early though if you don't want to. Then I guess, this is a good bye for today." she was about to turn around as a joke but Baji grabbed he wrist.

"I'm just joking! C'mon senpai!"

"Joking? I thought you really don't want to." she acted cold so it guilts him more. I didn't know making fun of him will be this fun.

"No! There's no way I would let a chance like this to pass!" he after got off from his bike and slightly pushed her to the door. "Now go! Change into something you're comfortable to."

She turned around to stop him from pushing her and said...

"And you? What are you doing? Just wait here outside, it's not like it will take some time..."

"I'm coming inside too! Now go! Change!" he continued to push her until they both reached the door.

There's no one inside except for Toshiki who's waiting in front of the door. And once Toshiki saw it was Eichi and Baji entered, he walked away.

"I think he's pretty rude," Baji said.

"He is actually." she agreed.

-

Just like how they agreed to, they've gone for a walk instead. They stopped from a convenient store before to grab themselves some snacks to eat while walking.

"Did you know senpai—"Baji's cut off when Eichi talked.

"Not yet." she said and eat a piece of chocolate.

"Say so." He sarcastically said and playfully rolled his eyes that made Eichi giggle. She then apologize and told him to continue.

"We've met before." He said.

"Yeah. I remember you congratulated me from winning the election." Eichi said, having memories of how weird Baji came up to her suddenly to greet her.

"I mean...Even before that." her brows  arched in confusion. Because all she remember how they met, like she said, the day she won the election. There's no memory from her that they met even before that.

"Really? When did we met?" she asked, all confused.

Baji saw an open space grass field, he held Eichi's hand and pulled her to the grass. He seated there and invited Eichi to seat beside him. Unexpectedly, she sat between his legs and made his arms wrapped around her.

He blushed. Flattered by what she did.

"You like to cuddle, don't you?" he whispered to her.

"If it's you then I guess it's a yes." she replied that made him grin like an idiot. He buried his face on her nape to hide his blush, even though she can't see him.

Is this really happening to me? Sheesh. God really heard my prayers... He thought.

"So how did we meet before?"

-

Baji bid his good bye for the day after they have gone for a walk. It was fun to talk to him for hours because she somehow learned a lot of new things about him especially that both of them knew each other before.

How shameful of me to forget him. Eichi hit herself and let a small chuckle before she entered their house.

"I'm home" she announced while changing her footwear.

"Welcome home. Where have you been? Is that Kei-kun?" her mom welcomed her, still wearing her office attire which clearly tells that she also just got home.

"Yeah. We just talked for a while." She answered and look at her mom. "What is it mom?"

"I was thinking of inviting him to dinner. Is he there yet?" her mom asked, looking outside the door.

"I think he's already far away from here. You should've told me earlier, mom."

"Yeah right. Like I know he'll drop by here this time" Saiko-san sarcastically said to her daughter.

"Anyway, go take a bath before we have our dinner. After that I'll talk to you about where you should enter for high school." she said before leaving Eichi.

Yeah right. Now that she mentioned about it, my high school life will not begin here after graduation...

Baji and her just got together, a week before a month to be exact. Thinking about where she'll study for high school and how she's gonna say it to Baji worries her.

" I wonder what will he say about it... "she said to herself, thinking of him.
