[EDITED]

------

Eichi woke up at 6am. The first thing she did was remember with all her might what just happened to her or rather... to them. Together with Baji.

------Flashback------

She broke from the kiss and suddenly fell sleepy. Baji noticed that so he held Eichi's head and lay it on his chest. He kissed her head and seconds after he heard her snoring, confirming that she's already sleeping

Baji wanted to laugh because of how funny and cute it is but he can't, scared that he might wake her up. He waited a little bit more before carefully moved Eichi to her pillow so she can sleep peacefully.

He can't believe that he got to see this kind of sight of Eichi this early. What happened to the 'I'm waiting for the right time'? He asked himself. Slightly embarrassed by what he did.

He got off the bed, getting another pieces of tissue to clean himself before fixing his pants. While fixing his pants he saw that Eichi is still holding the tissue with his mess on it. His eyes widened and quickly and carefully took it from her then threw it to the trash. Then, he searched for an alcohol inside her room, luckily he found one and sprayed some on both of her hands.

She's too tired to let go the tissue, how silly.

Baji smiled while taking his chance on holding her hand while she's asleep. Her soft and small hands, the peaceful sight while she's sleeping...Jeez, there's no denying that I totally love her.

He sat on the edge of her bed, silently watching Eichi's sleep. Scolding himself what the hell did he do but at the same time, giving himself a congratulatory speech for how well he did, that it even made Eichi fall asleep fast after they're done.

He brushed his hands through his hair. He's not frustrated. He's happy and amused with himself yet he's feeling scared for what will happen once Eichi woken up.

He sighed.

Baji decided to cuddle her. Not exactly cuddle since he put an extra pillow in between them, knowing Eichi, she would definitely do the same thing if she's still awake. He laid back beside her, covering themselves using her blanket. Smells like her. All of the stuff that surrounds him, literally smelled like her. If only he can just sniff all of them, he would but he didn't want to look like a creepy stalker.

Baji waited for himself to fall asleep but he felt nothing except for his heart that's still racing since he came at the balcony. All of a sudden, Eichi faced his way and unexpectedly put her arms above his abdomen. She even buried her face on the side of his chest.

His heart rate increased rapidly because of that alongside with lingering feelings on his stomach. He wanted to shout to express what's he's feeling but he can't.

He stayed still, enjoying what he have now and disregarding the negative thoughts he just had a while ago. I should treasure this moment that only happens once in a lifetime.

Baji didn't got enough sleep. He wanted to stay but the sun is already rising, he doesn't want Eichi to see him first thing in the morning. Not only after they become official which surely, will happen soon.

He left her a note saying that he left and a good morning and something else to fill the whole note. He  carefully climbed down all through her balcony's window down to the street. Good thing he didn't brought his bike or else Auntie would know that he's on her daughter's room.

"Jeez, it's so cold in the morning."

------end of flashback------

All she remembered was the thing they did and nothing else. The last thing she saw was Baji's face before she drifted to her dreams.

Eichi wanted to slap herself for giving in. Her body moved on its own, that's all she knows. She let her body take over her mind and now she's regretting what she did.

Did I just asked for a kiss?! She asked herself, remembering that specific happening. She slapped herself.

"Eichi! Wake up and take your bath already!" her brother knocked her door while saying that. She immediately stood up, realizing that she's not the only who's going to use the bathroom and that she'd be running late if she stayed on her bed more.

Eichi grabbed her towel that's hanging up on her chair where she also saw a sticky note attached to her notebook.

Good morning senpai! Eat your breakfast and drink water! We'll talk later! :3

- Baji <3

There's even an erasure on the 'we'll' part that made the note messy and dirty. What kind of hand writing is this? Seems like made by an elementary student.

"Yeah we should definitely talk later!" she shouted in annoyance. Annoyed to herself and not to Baji, unusually.

-

She's done preparing for school and breakfast is the only thing left. Before leaving her room, she look again at Baji's note and placed it somewhere her mom won't see before leaving.

I don't want her to get the wrong idea and think that Baji and me are together.

"Good morning!" her mom greeted her who's making her bento in her office attire. Eichi placed her bag on the other side chair and sat on her seat.

"I don't own a cat but I love them. I'm hoping that I can own one someday."Eichi froze on her seat after hearing that familiar voice.

She turned her back and saw Baji, already wearing his uniform and talking to her brother who's holding Toshi. Seems like they're talking about cats.

But Eichi tried to convinced herself that it's not Baji she's seeing right now. It's just his brother's friend or so, as long as it's not Baji.

She can't face him right now. Maybe later but not right now.

" Kei-san, come here. Take a breakfast with Eichi before going to school."

He's really here! Since when?! Didn't he left already?!

"Hai!" Baji said in happiness before seating on the opposite side of the table, in front of her.

Why does he look so fresh like nothing happened?! Am I the only one who's feeling embarrassed inside?!

"Eichi, Kei-san and I talked earlier. Starting today, he would go here to fetch you and you'll go to school together." her mom informed her.

" What?!"Did I heard it wrong? Starting today we're going to school...TOGETHER?

"Relax, Ei-chan. I'm not gonna charge you for that." Baji said.

"Shut up and stop calling me Ei-chan, it's not funny." she glared at him but he just chuckled. Eichi looked at her mom, "Mom?" asked her in a questioning tone.

"You won't be riding the train anymore and your allowance will increase since your not gonna commute. Isn't that great, Eichi? Kei-san's the one who offered it. It's such a waste to ignore so be thankful." her mom explained.

She didn't speak anymore. She can't do anything about it since her mom started talking. She cannot argue with her.

Eichi silently ate her breakfast while Baji is having some conversations with her mom and her older brother, Saito. She just notice that her Dad's not around. Looks like he already left. 

"Here's your bento~" her mom said and handed her lunch. She thanked her and headed outside where she saw Baji's bike parked. Yeah. That's what I thought. She sarcastically thought.

"Do you know how to ride?" Baji asked making her annoyed first thing the morning. Obviously teasing her about pertaining to other meaning of 'ride'. She glared at him.

"What I mean is... Do you know how to ride a BIG BIKE?" he said, putting emphasis on the word 'big bike'. Eichi rolled her eyes, she's being made fun of again. By the same person as always.

"Yes. I know how. So can you please, you ride first so I can ride it too?" she ordered him. Baji just smiled and shook his head. He succeed on annoying her again.

Instead of riding his bike first, he got his helmet and turned to Eichi. Without saying anything, he put it on her. Good thing she didn't say a word but she looked really annoyed.

While adjusting , he's enjoying her beautiful face. What a gorgeous sight.

Once he's done he can't stop himself from pinching her nose. "Hey!" she scolded him but he just smiled and rode his bike first as what Eichi wanted and seconds later Eichi finally ride it too.

"Give me your hands." he said

"For what?" she asked irritatedly.

"For balance of course." Baji answered. "I mean you don't want us to be involved in some sort of accident, do you?" Eichi does not want to argue with him so she just gave it to him and he wrapped her hands on his waist.

She suddenly blushed when she accidentally touched his abs, like she just touched it for the first time. Hard.

"Hold on tight or else you'll fall." with that they left the house. Eichi getting balance from Baji's waist and Baji enjoying the moment to the fullest.

What a wholesome morning. He thought.
