"I guess having the same feelings actually make us dating already, right? "

It keeps repeating from his head over and over ever since that day. Day and night, he can still hear her voice saying that in front of him, her expression and her feelings. Baji can't believe this is actually happening to him, it's like an another dream come true.

He can't stop himself from smiling every time he remembers her. Even now...

"BAJI! WHAT ARE YOU GRINNING AT?!" he got startle when suddenly Draken shouted in front of him. He cleared his throat and heard Chifuyu's small giggle from behind.

"Nothing. Just thinking..." Dude! You're in a middle of Toman's meeting right now! Get a grip of yourself and better think of a good excuse! "Just thinking of beating some delinquent on streets." he answered, hoping that Draken would buy that.

"You'd better be." Draken just said that better walking away. He looked at Mikey who's seating at the stairs, simply laughing at him. He just shook his head and focused on their meeting.

The meeting finished and the only one's whose left are the founding members. Each one of them are already sitting at their own motorbikes except for Pah-chin who's riding with Mitsuya.

"Oi Baji, it seems like something good happened to you. You know that caring is sharing right?" Mikey asked slightly teasing him. He immediately smiled with the thought of Eichi. Instead of sharing, he just shook his head. Denying.

"Yeah right. You're smiling like an idiot before." Draken also said.

"Nah, Just Eichi things." he answered. Holding his bike's meter.

"Sheesh! Thought so!" Mikey said and laugh. Others laughed as well which also followed by some teases.

They talked for about a couple of minutes before Mitsuya got a call from someone. They got quite a bit until he's done.

"Is something up? " Draken asked.

"Mom called. She said that she saw some guys whose wearing the same as us, beating the shit out of a dude on the streets. Probably some idiot members." he answered and started his bike's gas.

"You should beat them up too!" He said when Mitsuya started driving away from them with Pah-chin.

"I ain't gonna do that shit!" Mitsuya replied and they just chuckled.

Mitsuya's a good guy that only beat some guys for a reason. If you did nothing wrong then you're in a safe place with him, but if it is the opposite then pray for your soul. Every kindness, there is an evilness.

Early morning, Eichi is still laying on her bed to get some last minute extra sleep before it's time to go to school, then she suddenly felt like someone is staring at her.

She opened her eyes and the first thing she saw is the serious face of Toshiki. Looking at her.

"Why the-!"

"Good morning!" Baji pulled Toshiki away from her and replace his spot with him. Smiling widely at her.

"What are you doing here?!" she exclaimed and immediately covered her face with her blanket. Shy that he's gonna saw her morning face with a little bit of morning stars, dried drools and puffy face, especially her messy hair.

"Oh c'mon, senpai! There's nothing to be shy of! Everyone looks like that in the morning." She heard him said.

"And not everyone looked good in those! Selected people are but not all!" she said back. She heard him chuckled and suddenly her blanket was already snatched from her.

She can't clearly see his face but she's positive that he's looking at her, teasingly smiling.

" Baji! Give it back! " she run after him when Baji hurriedly rolled out her blanket and raised it up, taking advantage of their height difference.

"What are you so shy about?" he asked while laughing. "It's not like you're ugly or somethin'" he added. Eichi got tired of retrieving her blanket so she decided to pull her pillow instead and hide her face there.

Baji just laughed at her.

"Why do you keep hiding your face, senpai? Show them to me, please" he said still laughing.

"Not until you leave my room!" she answered.

My breath definitely would stink for sure! Can't he understand that?!

"No. I'm not leaving until you show me your morning face." he said and decided to lie down on her bed. Secretly sniffing her scent from the sheets. It's been a while. He thought. Baji even snatched another pillow to hug from her bed.

"I would not-"

"Then I'm not leaving. I mean it's alright for me if we leave late for school, there's no problem on that. I could actually take an absence today if you really don't want me to show your morning face." he threatened. He knew that Eichi is always on time, she values time the most and arriving late is somewhat like a disrespect for her.

" So what'd you say, senpai? We run late or what? "

Eichi pursed her lips and rolled her eyes while hiding on her pillow. She doesn't want to go to school late and she doesn't want Baji to take an absence for just a stupid reason rather! It guilts her if that happens.

Reluctantly, she removed the pillow from her face. She saw that he's laying on her bed while embracing a one pillow. She is embarrassed to look at him so she's not looking at Baji straight. Seconds after, she heard him giggle and hot up from laying his back to sitting with his arms as a support.

"Oh my, senpai. Why are you so cute?" he asked, "How lucky am I to have you, yeah?"

She hit his arm. "Stop telling lies, will you?"

"Me? Lying to you? Are you serious? Am I too handsome that you suddenly believed that I'm a liar?"

Eichi can't deal with him on this morning, she rolled her eyes. "What's the connect? You're still a dumbass after all." she stood up and grabbed her towel to have her bath.

"Ey, senpai's mad again. What should Kei-kun do?" she heard him in a cute voice. Luckily she turned her back on him, so now he can't see her how she smiled because of that. But then, she remembered that she's mad at him for his sucking flattering words.

"Do my bed."s he stated or more like she ordered him.

" Yes ma'am! But in exchange... "

" What is it?"

" Can I stay here until you're done changing? "she can't stopped her self from picking up her slippers and threw it at him. Again, he just laughed.

" Dumbass! "

After she's done preparing for school with Baji outside her room of course, they left together for school. And she's surprised that he actually fixed her bed. She also learned from her mom that Baji actually arrived early FROM THE DOOR, disregarding her thought of him sneaking at her window again. Thank god he didn't do that.

"Hey, senpai."Baji called her when she was about to go to the stairs. The thirds years classrooms are only above a floor from the second years so she had to take the stairs.

" Hmm?"

"Is it okay if we go home late today? There's something I want to do today with you." he asked, holding on his bag's strap. He looked like a good decent student with that pose that made her laugh a little.

"Yeah sure. It's fine." she said. Baji smiled and bid her a goodbye before they separated ways for their classes.

Eichi focused on her class as well as Baji. He's getting more pumped up suddenly about studying. Senpai is a very good student, I should be one too! He positively thinks.

"Oi Baji-san. You failed our last quiz." with just a positive thought seconds earlier, Chifuyu handed him his quiz paper with a barely passing mark.

"I see. You got many mistakes on grammar and spelling... Maybe you should focus on that one, Baji-san." Chifuyu said while he's peeking at his paper.

Suddenly, he slammed his paper on his table and covered his face with both of his hands which surprises Chifuyu.

"I just thought of being a good student with good marks but you gave me this?! How am I supposed to be a good student with good marks like senpai with this?!"

Meanwhile on Eichi...

"Geez. Yamada-san you're perfect again. How can you do that?" one of her classmate asked when one of their quizzes also returned their papers to see their marks.

Eichi shrugged her shoulders. "I just took some notes and do some short time readings." she answered honestly.

She got an unexpectedly perfect score with the subject she struggle the most. So she's surprised. I always sleep on this subject though...

When it comes to studying, Eichi see that she's just an average one since she's not taking it too seriously. She's not even looking at the school's overall ranking every quarter because she think that having a ranking system, like that is just for competition and actually not for learning.

So ever since then, she doesn't have any idea how well she's doing on that ranking system.

"Maybe I should also do that as what smart people do." her classmate said.

-

After classes, she saw Baji waiting outside of their classroom. Some of her classmates didn't bother to look at him anymore since he's always at their room to bug Eichi every single day. Therefore, today is also not a surprising day to see him there.

"Senpai~" he called and opened his arms to give her hand but she slapped his cheeks that is not too hard to reject that hug. There's no why I would accept that in front of this many people. Eichi thought.

Baji hold his face and looked at her pouting.

"You're still harsh, senpai. Not just verbally but physically too. Be thankful that I love you and I can't do that to you." he said.

"Blah blah blah."Eichi said and eolled her eyes." So? Where are we going? " she asked and crossed her arms.

Baji stood up straight and hold her arm the they started walking until they reached his bike.

"We're going on a road trip." he said and smiled at her.

Eichi's brows furrowed.

"We better not be caught by the police or else"

"What? Relax senpai, I'm gonna drive slowly... just how slow you like..." Baji wiggled his eyes, obviously meaning something else from what he said. She hit him on his arms.

"Enough with that dirty jokes will you?!" she scolded him and rolled her eyes.

"But dirty jokes are fun especially if it's with you."
