If I Can't Have Senpai

Chapter 42(End)

Ayano ended up falling asleep on Budo's shoulder after only an hour, she must have been exhausted from today's events and he didn't have the heart to wake her. He wasn't sure how he was going to face her father if he came down and saw the two of them together. But Budo was sure he would figure it out after all, he was confident that he had both her parent's blessings already. 

Budo glanced down at his sleeping lover, she looked so relaxed resting against him. Soft breathing came from her parted pink lips and she held onto his hand as she rested. The same damaged hands that had been inflicted on them in past now held each other so tenderly. He never regretted the hardships they faced together for it had only brought them closer together.

Budo thought of taking Ayano to her room but couldn't remember which room was hers, so instead, he would selfishly keep her by his side until morning. He gently brushed some of her midnight hair behind her ear and admired her beauty.

BZZZZT  BZZZT

Budo was momentarily startled as his phone began to vibrate next to him. It sounded so loud against the silence of the night that he quickly fumbled for it to shut it off. Once he had it in his hands he ended incoming call and let out a sigh as the noisy vibrating stopped. His midnight eyes darted over to Ayano but she remained sound asleep against his shoulder. He let out a relieved sigh and cautiously looked down at his dimly lit phone to see who had the nerve to call him so late.

He half expected it to be Sho who had a bad habit of butt dialing or even sleeping talking on the phone. It was honestly terrifying how he could almost carry full conversations while deep in sleep. But to his surprise the caller ID read 'Unknown number.'

Budo stared at in confusion but briefly shrugged it off, it must have been some telemarketer that he would have to block in the morning. Right now, he felt awfully tired and having Ayano's warmth against him made him want to cuddle her and fall into a deep sleep.

He leaned his head against hers and closed his eyes, but just as he was about to drift he heard that annoying BZZZT BZZZT sound again.

With an irritated huff Budo snatched up his phone and gently laid Ayano down before quietly strolling  into the kitchen. Again, who calls this late at night to sell a person something? He was going to give this jerk a piece of his mind. Budo swiped the answer button and pressed his Saikou phone against his ear.

"Listen man, do you have any idea what time-"

"Budo..." A familiar feminine voice answered softly on the other line and Budo paused.

"W-Who is this...?"

"Its me Budo... your mother..." Lady Masuta murmured softly.

Budo felt his heart beat quicken as the caller had revealed themself. This was the first time they have spoken since he had walked out on her in his own apartment. He blinked in disbelief at this, his mother was never the one to call or talk first whenever they got into a dispute. She had always expected Budo to come to his senses and plead for forgiveness for his childish actions. But now...here she was calling him in the middle of the night.

"Did something bad happened?" Budo immediately asked, and his mind raced to horrible conclusions such as a death in the family, an accident, or even an illness. He had momentarily forgotten his anger towards his mother.

"No, No, nothing like that has happened." She quickly assured him and Budo let out a sigh of relief before turning back to the offensive.

"Then why are you calling me, Lady Masuta?" He asked in a slightly annoyed tone, he could have been sleeping right now! "If this is about that arranged marriage that your trying to pull then I'm going to block this number!"
