We both silently enjoyed one another company as we danced until the song ended. "Thank you for dancing with me Takkun, it's very nice to meet you." Just as I'm about to walk away.

"Wait." Takkun stopped me. "I--"

"There you are, honey!" Ayako wrapped her arms around Takkun then dragged him away. "Sorry, but I need his help with something."

"It's okay, I understand." I said with a polite smile then sat on one of the vacant tables. I scanned the crowd for both Erika and Yuri only to find them nowhere. My heart drops as I search for my friends and my anxiety started to escalate until my eyes met Erika's who approached me holding a juice.

"You look pale Miki, are you alright?" Erika asked then handed me the juice.

"I was worried that I lost you guys." I said then took a sip from the juice to calm my nerves.

"No need to worry about us, I was actually looking for Yuri to tell him that I'm leaving with the gentleman over there, we hit off quite well." She pointed at the handsome stranger she was dancing with.

"If you see him make sure you notify him about me, bye Mikito!" With a wide grin, Erika left the venue her partner.

"Erm Mikito..." I turned around and my eyes met Takkun who called out for me.

"Is something wrong?" I asked.

"No... For some reason, I really want to talk to you." Takkun's expression seemed troubled, but I somehow found it endearing.

"Sure, let's talk." His face lit up by my positive response.

"So, do you have any hobbies?"

"I'm really good at sewing and knitting things, almost any crafty hobby, What about you?" Yes! I answered him without stuttering, go me!

"I like jogging and playing the guitar."

"Oh! That's cool! I can tell you work out a lot from your muscles..."

"I need to keep fit for my job after all." Oh my God, I heard that line before and his voice, I feel like I know him for some reason. They dimmed the light after they announced the slow dance so it is hard for me to recognize his face.

"Are you a model or something? I saw Mrs. White drag you away." His expression seemed troubled when I mentioned Ayako.

"I'm something like that... So, are you interested in music?"

"OMG yes! I love listening bunch of artists!" I started listed several of my favorite artists until... "But of course my favorite of them all is Takuya Soma!"

"Why him?"

"Are you kidding me?! Takuya Soma is a gift from heaven, he is so dreamy and nice, and his voice!" I sighed then kept going on and on about Takuya Soma. "Oh sorry, it's a bad habit of mine when it comes about him."

"It's fine, I understand... Funny thing, I would totally notice a cute guy in the crowd of his concerts."

"Unfortunately, I was unable to attend any of his concerts, one time I got sick, another I have to study, and one time all tickets were sold out. It's like the universe doesn't want me to see him!"

"Well... You're in luck..." Takkun trailed off then as though it's a cue for the room to light up, he took off his mask.

"Uh... Whaaaaat... Whuuuut... Erm, ugh... I-I—" I was speechless, I didn't know what to say, Takkun was THE Takuya Soma. "Oh dear lord help me..."

"Surprise." He said then wore his mask again before anyone can discover his identity.

"Wait! Hold up, you're straight!" Takuya stared at me confused. "Because I thought you were flirting with me, but you're not, right?"

"Ah, no. I'm sorry for giving you the wrong impression."

"No, it's fine. I'm glad you were just being friendly."

"... Are you gay?"

"Yes, I am!" I answered him proudly which made him smile affectionately.

"Always be proud of who you are Mikito." OMG TAKUYA SOMA SAID MY NAME!!!!! AAAAAHHH! Keep it cool Mikito, keep. It. Cool.

"Back up a second, why is THE Takuya Soma talking to me?" Takuya stared at me with a serious expression on his face.

"Because I want to." I kept repeating his statement in my head over and over again. "Or is it since you know my identity you don't wish to speak with me?"

"That's not it! I just feel overwhelmed and honored."

"I'm the one who's honored, thank you for letting me chat with you, is it okay if I ask for your phone number?" I take out my phone silently then turned on the recorder.

"Please say that again!" Oh shit, my fanboying is showing.

"You don't want a picture instead?"

"No, I prefer a recording." I said then took a deep breath as I lift up my phone close to him.

"Alright ahem... I, Takuya Soma, am asking Mikito Kobayashi for his phone number... Is this good enough?" Takuya who was leaning close to me (or to be more specific close to my phone) Anyways, kyaa! That felt more like a proposal rather than asking for my number. God, Takuya Soma makes anything cool and sexy.

"Yes..." I hand my phone over to him so he can put his number in it.

"I saved it as Takuya." Takuya handed me back my phone. Not believing what just happened I dial him. He took out his phone then looked confused. "Is this your number?" I answered him by nodding which made him smile. "Great, now I have your number! I was hoping for you to contact me later whenever you're free... Anyways, I'm happy either way." This time my phone went off and I check the number to see that it's my sister Hinata.

"Oh sorry, it's my older sister, she's probably calling because I didn't text her."

"I understand, you can pick it up." I bowed my head then answered my phone.

"MIKITO KOBAYASHI!! WHY DID YOU NOT TEXT ME?!" Hinata shouted angrily.

"Sorry, sis... I was caught up chatting with someone that I forgot." I answered her calmly. What I learned being raised in a house filled with women that you NEVER shout back because you'll only make the whole situation worse, instead, you answer as calmly as possible.

"It's almost eleven, hurry up and tell your friend to get you home."

"I understand, I will tell him now."

"Good, goodbye sweetie, I love you."

"Me too, bye." I hang up then turned toward Takuya who was a couple of inches away from me. OMG, he is so sweet, he stepped away to give me some privacy. "Sorry for making you wait for me."

"No, it's alright." Takuya said.

"Uhm... I need to go home now."

"Do you want me to take you home?" OH MY GOD YES!

"It's very sweet of you to offer, but I am here with a friend, so I can't."

"Oh cool... No pressure or anything, but are you free this Tuesday?" I ponder for a second. If I recall every Tuesday and Thursday I have classes in the morning then I'm free in the afternoon.

"I'm free after twelve, is it alright with you?"

"Yes, definitely. Would you like to watch a movie that day?"

"Sure, I love watching movies."

"Great, then I'll text you which theater." I nodded my head, I was about to leave, but Takuya was staring at me as though he wanted to say something.

"Is something wrong? You're staring at me."

"Ah, sorry. I guess part of me just wanted you to stay so we can chat more." My heart squeezed by his statement, he is so lovely.

"I-I wanna chat more, but my sister will be angry if I don't go back home." Takuya sighed then nodded his head understanding. "I-I'll see you later then!" Takuya waved good-bye then we went our separate ways.

After I got home that day I blurted to Hinata about meeting THE Takuya Soma, she was wary thinking he might be a creep, but after telling her that he is a nice person, not to mention straight, she was relieved.

I ended up spending the night at home instead of my apartment since it was really late, but I went back to my apartment the next day so I can study for my exam on Monday. To be honest, sophomore year is better than freshman year. I was so lost and confused, I didn't know which class to sign up to, which professor, or which building am I suppose to go to!

If it weren't for Yuri I would be totally lost, he was Godsend. Today is Monday and I just finished my morning class, I'm free till three o'clock. I went to the cafeteria to eat something sweet, everyone around either chatting with their friends or too dead tired. Yep, that's college for you.

I like to eat outside but the weather is still cold since it's February, so I ate my muffin inside. I open my Jastagram to check the latest updates. Rinka posted about how college is hell, Yoru posted a cute picture of sleeping Rentaro, and Nobuaki posted a picture of the wedding venue he chose for him and Yoru.

Nouaki and Yoru were supposed to get married last year, but Yoru was busy with his senior year and Nobuaki with his freshmen year so they had so little time to interact together, got into a huge fight because of it, broke up, then got back together one month after their breakup. Those two can't live without one another.

If you're asking if I took advantage of their breakup to seduce Nobuaki, I'd be lying if I said no. I wanted to steal him away, but I saw it in his eyes, Yoru is the only one for him, his omega. I lost the battle the moment Yoru entered his life. Sometimes I wonder if maybe things would have changed if I was an omega instead of a beta.

Rinka and Yoru are in the same college so they still hang out a lot, though it makes Cloud (Rinka's pair) jealous since he was in a coma and now catching up on the years he missed. Rentaro is in primary school with his friend Maruko, if I recall her older brother is a friend of Yoru, his name is Umi if my memory didn't fail me.

Nobuaki still keeps in touch with his half-brother Kotaro. Did I mention that Nobuaki is also an uncle? Yes, his older brother's wife, Omi, gave birth to a healthy baby girl, her name is Aoi (as in blue), she's two years old now. She's the cutest, Aoi has the same hair color as Omi (indigo) and the same eye color as her father Tokiya (green).

The next day...

After finishing my morning classes, I got ready for my day with THE Takuya Soma, I'm so damn excited! Once I made sure that my hair is done, I head to our meeting spot, and just on time, I get a text from him. "Where are you?" I answered his question with a description of my outfit so he can spot me.

I wait for ten minutes and still no sign of him, until suddenly— two hands grabbed my shoulders from behind which made me freeze in my place. "Mikito...?" The voice said as though unsure of my identity, his voice was low and quiet as to not be detected by others. I slowly toward around then sighed relieved to see the person who grabbed me was Takuya wearing a hoodie and a mask to not be noticed.

"Oh my God, you scared me!" I said.

"I'm really sorry, it's just I wasn't sure if it was you, I didn't see your face at the party and I can't just announce myself publicly." Takuya said then bowed apologetically.

"Oh you're right, how did you know it was me?"

"You described me your outfit in the text, I know you have green hair, and..." Takuya trailed off.

"And?"

"And for some reason, I just knew it was you." Takuya answered bashfully which made me blush in return. This man. Is. Dangerous. My heart is beating like crazy. "Ahem... So shall we head inside the theater?" I nodded my head then we head inside. "So which movie would you like to watch? I didn't book one since I don't know what you would like, also it's in the middle of the week so there aren't many people in the theater."

"Let's pick a movie together, I know your favorite genre is horror, I also like watching them too."

"... I forgot you're my fan, yes, my favorite genre is horror... There is actually a zombie movie I want to watch." Both of us booked a ticket for the movie 'Zombie apocalypse 0.5'

"Since you paid for the tickets then I'll buy us snacks."

"No, no, I asked you out today, it's only natural that I pay for everything." Oh my God! What a gentleman! "Besides, you're a college student right Save your money for something else." Takuya held my hand as he said that which made me swoon.

"O-Okay."

"So what would you like to get?" I quickly snapped out of it.

"Oh! I want salted popcorn, a chocolate bar, and one blue slushy."

"Coming right up, you can sit and wait for me."

"Uhm... Is it alright if I stay with you? I'd like to spend time with you rather than waiting alone." Takuya was silent for a second and I couldn't read his expression because of the mask, but I could see that his ears were red.

"... Sure, we can wait together."

When it was our turn we decided to share one popcorn since we both like it salty, as for drinks, Takuya chose water because he's watching out for his diet.

"Mikito..."

"T-Takuya...!"

"Uuughh... You can hold me all you want."

"Uuuh... Th-Thank you..." Aaaah! The movie is scarier than I thought, I clung to Takuya and every time something gory happens I shut my eyes. Don't get me wrong, I like horror movies, but that doesn't mean they don't scare meeee!

Once the movie was over and we left the theater I finally let go of Takuya's hoodie which is now is all wrinkly from the tugging. "Mikito, you didn't need to accommodate me if you don't like horror movies."

"N-No! Really! I like them! It's just they still scare me, I really had fun watching them especially the part where Martha was trying to escape the city as both zombies and bandits were chasing her. It was really cool, felt sad that John gave up and shot himself though."

"That was part was my favorite too, Martha didn't have any gun, just a pipe which broke in the middle of fighting a bunch of zombies." We both laughed as we discussed more about the movie. "Do you want to grab coffee? I know a place where we can chat without anyone disturbing us."

"Sure." I said then Takuya led me to a very quiet cafe with almost no customers, but the place had a very cozy atmosphere as though we teleported to another world. The smell of coffee wafted the air and it's really a nice one.

We sat on one of the tables, Takuya took off his hood and mask the moment we sat down. "Finally, I felt like suffocating from it. I hate wearing a mask, but if I don't wear one it'll only grab unnecessary attention. One of the disadvantages of being famous."

"Is it my fault because we're going out?"

"Of course not, in the first place I asked you out, also I had a really fun time today, did you not?"

"Y-Yes! I had fun too."

"Since you're my fan Mikito, I guess you know everything about me."

"Of course I know everything about you!" I said feeling proud of myself. "In fact, quiz me."

"Alright, I'll tell you the results after finishing all my questions... Okay, when is my birthday?"

"September 6th."

"Sexuality?"

"Straight."

"Favorite color?"

"Yellow."

"Coffee, do I like it sweet or black?"

"Sweet!"

"Favorite dessert?"

"Chocolate cut cake from XX store."

"Do I have a girlfriend?"

"Not that I've heard so far."

"Who do I love the most?"

"Your dog Pluto, his breed is Akita."

"Okay, one last question, who are my family members?"

"Trick question, you're adopted so in terms of biological they're unknown, but your only family is your adoptive father." Takuya sighs then took a deep breath.

"You get them... All correct, except for one."

"What?! Whuuut?! Which one? There is no way! Is it the girlfriend? Are you dating anyone?"

To Be Continued...

(A/N): Thank you for reading so far and I apologize for the delay, I just got hired and was busy with all the paperwork and had no time to write + my laptop is dying.

P.S: comment Which question do you think Mikito answered incorrectly?
