Both Tsukishima and Yamaguchi knew that love was not near the field of "easy". Moreover, being together with someone you "love" was more difficult, for the never-ending feeling and emotion of being the best of yourself truly suffocates one. The ever-so-continuous question of: "What if I'm not enough?", certainly prohibits one's capacity of fully growing onto their improvement.

Despite this, though, the undying love these two human-cats have for each other absolutely pushes through these inquiries, for they both know that they each complete one another.

For now, though, both boys have to go through and complete multiple tasks to ensure their companionship and strength, each having the ability to determine their future together.

TASK # 1 - THE PUBLICITY OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP (One)
Reward: A kiss on the forehead?

"How exactly will we tell both Aimi-san and Aneko-san about our relationship?" asked Yamaguchi, biting his lip as he gazed upon the other human-cat deep in thought. With very much eagerness, he murmured, "I feel like Aneko-san would kill the both of us."

"I don't think she will," started Tsukishima, doubt present on his face. He then murmured, "I hope so."

They both giggled, the two then breathing in the calm atmosphere of the forest. They have just finished their picnic by the side of the pond, (and they have just finished taking in the fact that each of them lost their first kisses to one another), and decided to walk throughout the place. Of course, the awkward tension between the two did not subside, and silent pauses here and there would constantly arise. Nevertheless, their emotions of joy and enthusiasm pushed those aside.

After a while of short talks and constant giggles, the two had finally decided to go home, given how they were very much exhausted - eating, walking, falling in love - these absolutely were tiring.

"Wait a bit," called Yamaguchi, pausing before grabbing his phone that was once inside his pocket. "I'll call them."

Tsukishima nodded, then grabbing his very own phone as he checked the time. Grumbling, he mumbled, "It's late."

After several minutes of waiting, both Aimi and Aneko had finally arrived to pick them up, their laughs and smiles lifting the tension off both human-cats. Yamaguchi looked around, looking for the perfect opportunity to tell both his guardians about his relationship with Tsukishima - while the blonde boy, on the other hand, looked for the best excuses as to how he would be able to get Yamaguchi to go on another date with him. With the contrasting ideas and thoughts of both, silence had enclaved the space. Aimi had acknowledged how the human-cats behind her were awfully quiet, and like a loud individual herself, she yelled, "How was your picnic date?"

"A picnic w-what?" stuttered Yamaguchi, sharp-tongued. He immediately gazed back at Tsukishima who, surprisingly, had a rather nonchalant expression on his face.

As if the world had suddenly stopped, Yamaguchi's breath hitched as Tsukishima, who was awfully quiescent a moment ago, had finally opened his mouth to speak.

"Aimi-san, Aneko-san," called Tsukishima, huffing. With all his might, (and with a prayer hoping that Aneko wouldn't murder him), he muttered, "Yamaguchi and I are dating."

Silence.

Yes, silence had arrived once again.

It had enclaved the place, suffocating those who awaited peacefully for a response. If it was possible, Yamaguchi could have sworn to himself that he could hear all his blood cells talking to each other - speaking about how fast his heartbeats were and how much sweat he was emitting off of his body.

"Tsukki," murmured Yamaguchi, his brows furrowed in anxiety. He gulped, gazing upon the blonde boy with so much eagerness. A part of him did want to know the responses of his guardians, but the other part of him did not.

"We know," answered both women, the two giggling in amusement. Aimi, laughing, then muttered, "We have known of the fact that the both of you like each other months ago. Y'all were too obvious, you know? We're quite observant, after all. Besides, we spied on the both of you as you went on with your date earlier-"

Suddenly, Aimi quietly groaned in pain. She gazed back at Aneko with so much confusion as to why she was hit on the head, while the other girl only wore an expression of annoyance and disbelief.

"You two knew?"

"Why would you spy on us?"

Huffing quietly, Aneko gazed back at Aimi, whispering, "Why exactly would you say that, Aimi? That was supposed to be a secret."

With her mouth shaped like an "O", Aimi giggled sheepishly. She smiled, putting on a grin that made the other two laugh quietly.

That was all that they needed - the approval of their loved ones, that is. Now that they knew that both Aimi and Aneko approved of them and their ever-so-sweet relationship, both human-cats could now go on with their lives together (and maybe do the dududu and make babies of their own, who knows 🙊).
