Yuu POV

Well, this week was a mess, I'm glad it's finally weekend. We decided to visit Aki today with Sora and to meet up at the station at 15:00 so I was a bit surprised when he showed up at my house at 13:00...

"Yo!" He greeted me with a grin.

"What are you doing here?" I asked

"I missed you." He answered with a grin again. I wanted to shut the door in his face but I just sighed. "Come in..."

"Good afternoon!"

"My parents went shopping."

"Oh, alright" He sounded a bit surprised.

We went to my room, I sat back to my desk and continued my lunch. "Sit wherever you want" I told him but he was already going around and looking at my stuff. "Don't touch anything" I warned him but he didn't seem to care.

"So? Why are you here?" I asked again. He stopped and looked at me.

"Are you an idiot?"

"H-Huh?"

"I'm here because you went through hell yesterday and I'm not sure whether you are actually fine or just pretending to be fine for Aki's sake..." It felt like he was staring straight into my soul.

"I think I'm fine." I answered after a short silence. "It was scary but...Aki and you rescued me right away. I mean...I'm afraid that something similar might happen but I can't stay negative." I smiled. "I have you guys."

"Eh?" He looked away suddenly. "A-Alright then." He staggered and continued to look around.

Sora POV

What the heck was that smile just now. Geeeez, I've just fallen for him again. Critical hits are scary, my heart is beating faster because of a smile...

"Do you want something to eat?" Yuu asked. "Or should we just head over to Aki?"

"Uhm, I had lunch so we can go I guess."

"I'm gonna get dressed, can you wait outside pleas.."

"I refuse!" I interrupted him.

"H-Huuh?" He blushed. "W-Whatever... but look away at least."

I nodded and started to stare at him. He look at me for a few seconds then turned around and took off his shirt. He looked back at me to check if I was still staring.

"Soraaaa" He yelled with a flustered tone.

"Alright, sorry, I was just teasing you a little bit." I said and turned around. "Payback." I muttered.

"Huh?"

"Nothing, hurry up!"

We arrived at Aki a few minutes later, he lived closeby. It took some time for him to open the door. He looked pale and tired.

"Woah you look like crap." I began.

They both looked at me with piercing eyes.

"Well thank you..." Aki responded.

"Ah, sorry." I tried to apologise with an awkward smile.

"You are here early..." Crap, I can't let him know that I went to Yuu early.

"We wanted to see you!" I quickly answered. That was so stupid...

"Whatever...come in. I don't have the energy to even react to that."

"What happened?" Yuu asked as we walked inside. It was a really small flat. Is he living alone?

"Well, I couldn't really sleep at night and it literally hurts to eat so I haven't really done that either."

"Eeeh? You can't do that." Yuu sounded like a mother. "I'm staying over for the weekend!"

"Huh? Don't bother, I'll be alright." Aki dropped on the bed. "Anyway, are you alright Yuu?"

"I told you yesterday, I'm fine, I really am."

"Alright then." Aki stood up and walked in front of Yuu. "Hm?"

"Why didn't you tell me about your locker?"

"Geh" Yuu tried to take a step back and look away but Aki grabbed his head. "Yuu!" Aki had a completly different aura around him.

"Ah sorry sorry sorry, let me go." Yuu apologised.

Aki sighed and let go.

"I didn't want to worry you." Yuu responded in a defensive stance.

"Things might have been different." Aki muttered as he lied down in his bed.

"S-Sorry...but wait, how do you know about my locker?"

"Sora checked it out." He answered quietly. Yuu just gave me a death glare.

"W-Wait wait wait! Aki asked me to do that... right Aki?" Silence... d-did he just fall asleep? There was awkward silence for a few seconds. "I believe you don't worry, I knew he didn't buy it when I came back with empty hands."

"Soooo... what should we do now?" I asked.

"I'm gonna cook him something, he needs to eat."

"Can I help?"

Yuu nodded and we headed to the kitchen. He was so quick, we made a full course lunch in thirty minutes. "Amazing! How can you cook so well?"

"My mom is a chef." Yuu smiled.

"I-I see, I didn't expect that. Speaking of which, is Aki living alone?"

"Y-Yeah." He answered a bit reluctantly. "How comes?" Yuu was getting a bit uncomfortable. "Sorry but it's complicat.." "Let's just say I'm not on good terms with them." Aki interrupted.

"Ah, are you awake? I cooked a bit, let's eat."

"I can't say no to your cooking!" Aki laughed gently.

"Let me help, you should rest your hands." He acts more and more like a mother. I chuckled a bit.

"Do you want some Sora? I made enough." Yuu asked.

I nodded.

"Mmmm sooooo goooood!" I yelled after the first bite. I couldn't stop stuffing my mouth. I finished it in a minute. "That was awesome, I'm full." Aki and Yuu were staring at me. "Hm?"

"G-Glutton" They said in sync. "Eeeeh?" I blushed. "Well it is Yuu's fault for making it so good. A-Anyway, let's do something!"

"You can play on the console. I have a few games." Aki offered.

"What about you?" Yuu asked.

"I can't play with these hands. I'm gonna watch and annoy Sora in every possible way."

"Oy!"

We played and talked for a while, then Aki lied back into his bed to rest. I continued with Yuu till night. We had a great time.

"It's getting late."

"Oh, I forgot to tell my parents that I'm staying over." Yuu walked out to make a call.

"Uhm, Aki"

"No!"

"Eh? I haven't even asked anything yet!"

"You wanna stay over so you can spend more time with Yuu." Geh...scary, he completely read me...I gave him the puppy eyes. "Please?"

Aki sighed. "I don't mind but please don't try to make a move on him now..."

"Don't worry about that, I just want to know more about him. He seems different already, he is shy and doesn't talk much in class."

"Yeah, once you are friends with Yuu, he opens up." He said with a gentle smile.

"Alright, I told my parents."

"I'm also staying over." Yuu looked at Aki, he nodded.

"Oh, o-okay." Yuu blushed a little.
