"Check it out! It's Cherry and Joe!" The crowd called as they fell over themselves trying to get a better glimpse of the two men. I was leaning against a wall, arms crossed and eyes closed. The black cap on my head blocked off the majority of my face, my head tilted towards. The peace that I held dearly vanished as soon as a group of women started shrieking next to me. Eyebrows furrowed, I opened my eyes and sent a harsh glare to the group of women who ruptured my eardrum.

"Hey, cut it out," I said, their attention diverted to me, "I'm trying to relax and I can't do that if you're being rowdy."

"Now, now [name]," Joe said as he strolled over to me, "that's not very nice."

"Ok."

"Wow, what a nice response."

"Thanks, I try." I smiled softly and punched him lightly on the shoulder. His arm draped around me as he led me through the crowd of people. I watched as the group of girls glared heavily in my direction, prompting me to let out a laugh.

Like a genuine laugh. Joe's heart rattled in his chest, his eyes gleaming at the sight of you tilting your head back with a dazzling smile. A blush dusted his cheeks and he tackled me with a hug. "Aw, you're too cute! I'm gonna fall for you!" he declared.

"Ew, I sure hope not."

"Rude!"

"God, would you knock it off!" I said, desperately trying to pry him off me, a grin threatening to creep on my face. An arm jerked me away, my back hitting a defined chest and someone resting their chin on my head.

"Back off, Joe," Cherry spoke from behind me, scowling at Joe.

"Possessive much?"

"Annoying much?" Cherry snarled, his scowl deepening. I had zoned out by this point but heard Kaoru mumble something along the lines of 'what a half-wit' into my hair. I stood their awkwardly as they were glaring daggers at each other.

"Now now, let's all settle down," I spoke out softly as I weaved out of Kaoru's grasp and placed my hands on their shoulders. I gave them my signature closed-eye smile and chuckled lightly. "Or else."

They both agreed, although rather reluctantly. They still refused to apologize to one another though no matter how much I asked, per usual. After the fight, our little trio all raced a bit before me and Kaoru headed home, parting with Joe midway.

"Hey, Kaoru?" I said quietly. He responded with a simple hum and followed me at my side. "Are you ok? You seemed a little off tonight," I spoke out as concern was written all over my face.

"I'm quite alright," He said as he flashed me a small smile underneath his mask, although it wasn't too reassuring.

"Babe," I said as I grabbed his wrist lightly, stopping him, "you know you can tell me anything right?" He sighed before running a hand through his gorgeous pink locks. He closed his eyes for a few seconds before opening them to look at me. At this point in time, I was nervously sweating and thinking of all the possible things that I did wrong, including all the worst-case scenarios.

"I don't like it," he said bluntly, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Like what?" I replied as I removed my hand from his wrist and kept it in the pocket of my jacket.

"You act so close to Joe, you didn't even respond when he was openly hitting on you," he said as he flashed me a small glare. "don't tell me you like him?"

My mouth was agape at the utter nonsense that he just spouted. My [eye color] eyes fixed themselves onto his golden ones and I sighed. "I'm sorry? What?"

"You didn't do anything," he spoke.

"I was going to respond with something rather blunt and rude, but you beat me to it. What I can't comprehend is how you think I like him," I spoke, averting my eyes and looking to the ground before continuing, "The only person I like is you," I said as I took a step towards him and buried my face into his chest.

I felt him tense up and the sudden action before slowly holding me. He kept one of his hands on my back, while the other supported my hand, caressing it gently. He kissed the top of my head sweetly before standing there in my embrace for a few more seconds. Eventually, I pulled away and stared at him sweetly.

"Let's go home." He said as he gazed down at me.

"Yeah, let's do that," I replied. His hand slipped into mine as he pulled me along, heading home.
