The alarm goes off.

You slowly open your eyes. Everything's dark. The sun should already be out. Why is it still dark?

You hear a deep, quiet growl. Slowly, you start remembering. You fell asleep in Arens arms. You slowly started to panic, as your dad shouts from downstairs. „Are you gonna turn that off?!", he yelled.

You try to shake Aren awake. He's still fast asleep, with his strong arms around you. „Aren. Aren!!", you try to wake him up. „Whaaat..", he mumbles, readjusting his arm. „We're gonna be late! Come on, wake up!"

„Oh shit.". He finally wakes up and let's you go.
Quickly, you turn off the alarm. „Shh! My dad doesn't know you slept over!"

You throw his uniform at him. „Get dressed, quick! I'll shove you through the door with my time stop!", you whisper, making sure your dad didn't hear you. He gets dressed. „I'm ready. Here's your bag, I finished your homework after you fell asleep.". He kisses you on the cheek, dropping the bag next to you. Dragging you along, he opens the door. „Now!", he whispered.

Time stops. Because he was dragging you by the hand, he was able to move. „Hurry up, wait outside!" you tell him, as you let him go. He freezes. „Aww shit. So that doesn't work.". You pull him back into your room. As time flows again, you tell Aren what just happened.

„Ooh... okay.", he whispers, looking at his phone. School starts in 10 Minutes.

„I got a plan. I'll walk you out the door, and then I'll just leave you there while I go back upstairs and pretend to sprint down in a rush."

„Good idea. Just don't trip again, okay?"

You smile. „I won't.". Grabbing him by the hand, you stop time and go down the stairs. At the door, he doesn't let go of your hand. You look at him in confusion. He looks at you. „Love you. I'll be waiting at the entrance.". He gives you a kiss again and lets go.

Time freezes for him again as well. You were completely flustered. You walk up the stairs again, to go decieve your dad. 'Why is he just so dreamy and perfect?!', you think to yourself.

— outside —

„You made it!", he hugs you. „H-hey! Keep it down, you said you didn't want us public yet!", you push him away. „Oh, I'm sorry.", he kisses you. „But if no one's around, you'll never escape my love for you."

You walk to school together. Avoiding eye contact, your face is still red. „Let's hope no one finds out about us.. or your powers.", he chuckles. Suddenly, you hear a voice inside your head.

Meet me at the park next to you. I'm at the swings.

„Huh?!", you shout. „What's wrong?", Aren asks. „Something the matter?"

„Uuh.. you go ahead. I need to do something real quick.", you mumble, as you push Aren towards the school.

— at the swings —

A boy stood there, wearing the same uniform as you. His hair was bright pink and he had something.. weird on his head? Wait. He looks familiar.

„Saiki? Is that you?", you walk over to him.

Do you actually have powers?

„Uuh.. yeah, I do. I can stop time for 30 minutes a day. You wanna see?"

Sure. Show me.

„Okay, gimme your hand."

Sure. Now prove it to me.
