Koushi's POV

After I end the phone call with Mabel, I quickly call Daichi.

D: Hello?

K: Hey, can you do me a favor?

D: depends what the favor is.

K: I'm not asking for too much.

D: shoot then.

K: I'm taking off early today, and I don't feel like walking

I bite my lower lip, trying to hide the grin that was clear upon my face.

D: you want me to pick you up, huh?

K: can you? Or is the favor too much to ask for?

D: nope. It gets pretty lonely here without you, Kou.

I let out a breathy chuckle.

K: quit joking around and hurry up.

D: very rude, Kou.

K: uh huh, I love you, Daichi.

He laughs, receiving a small smile from me.

D: I love you too, Sugar. I'll see you soon.

I hang up and look around at the half-asleep classroom. I get up and use the class phone to call the front.

Phone call after phone call, I finally made it out of work, seeing Daichi pulling in. I smile as he pulls into a parking space.

I race over and get in the car, "hey, sugar." I smile, "hi."

"Is everything okay..?" I nod, "yes."

"Then why did you want to take today off?" I look over at him and shake my head, "I can't have a day with you anymore?" I ask sarcastically, "I could just go back into work, maybe work an extra hour." He grabs my hand, "ah, yeah, you're not doing that-" I giggle as I leave a peck on his lips, "I was hoping that'd answer the question, because I really don't want to go back to work."

"Troubling morning?" Daichi asks, pulling out of the parking lot. I shrug, "I don't know..it just feels like I'm actually doing a job now." Daichi laughs at this response, "what do you mean?" I lean back in the seat, "well, if you explain my job in an outer-most perspective, it sounds-"

"Insane?"

"Yeah. I basically get paid for parents dropping off their kids, and me having to technically babysit nearly twenty kids per-day for at least eight hours."

"Hm, you put that way and it makes you sound like a teenager."

"Haha very funny." He chuckles as grabs my hand and continues to drive.

Daichi's POV

Ring...ring...

I look over at Kou to see him scurry to answer the phone.

"Hello?" He bit the inside of his cheek as he grabbed tighter onto my hand. I keep my eyes on the road, "okay..so where is she heading?"

"Yeah...I'll see her soon."

"Mhm..."

"Yeah, I bet she'll be excited. Thank you so much. Yeah, bye.." he hangs up and just looks at me, smiling lightly. His fake smile of course, the phone call didn't sound swell.
