TSUKASA POV

・・・・・・

I slowly started to open my eyes again. I squinted my eyes a bit at the bright light, but I managed into it a couple seconds later.

I just realized I was tied up to a chair! Ankles, hands and my mouth was tied up so I couldn't do or say anything.

"Mmm! Hmm!" I started mumbling aggressively to get whoever kept me here's attention. I then noticed Rui and 2 other girls looking at me.

I remember their names.. it was Ena and Mafuyu, right?  I thought as I glared at them, and they glared at me back.

"That kid has a staring problem.." I heard Ena whisper to Rui, but Rui just slapped her arm. "Don't say that about him! You have a staring problem too!" Rui whispered a bit louder, loud enough for me to properly hear.

"Let.. me go!" I slightly managed to form words, even though my mouth was sealed shut.

Mafuyu then hit Rui's arm and she glared at him. "You didn't tie it good enough, Rui." Mafuyu said, sternly. "Okay, sorry, dear mother! I didn't want to hurt him!" Rui said sarcastically. Mafuyu rolled her eyes and she looked back over to me.

"Wait, you didn't want to hurt him? Do you-" Ena's voice faded out as Mafuyu spoke loud out to me, making me flinch a bit.

"Kid, you're awake, huh?" I nodded and she walked over to me. She took the tape of my mouth easily.

"See, I was right.. Rui! You did a horrible job at tying this!" Mafuyu pointed towards the rope she was holding as she turned back around to her friends.

Ena burst out laughing at Rui getting scolded. "Ugh, shut it, Ena!" Rui hit Ena's arm again, but that just made her laugh even more.

"Why am I here?! Let me out!" I started yelling at them, waiting for them to untie me and let me free.

Rui walked over to me and he kneeled down at my height. "Fufu~, please, Kasa, calm down." Rui smiled at me, and it just made my heart melt, but I instantly regained my anger. "Kasa?! I'm Tsukasa to you, Rui!" 

Rui just poked my forehead and he smiled smugly. "Please stop yelling, Kasa." Rui said it in such a gentle way that it just melted my heart completely. 

"Fine, fine, whatever.." I lowered my voice and I felt myself turn red.

"Ooh~ is Tsukasa blushing?" Ena walked over here and she gasped, "and, he's blushing at Rui?! Oh my gosh, new ship alert! What should we call you two.. hmm, Mafuyu, help me out here, give me some ideas.." Ena crossed her arms to think.

Rui blushed a bit as well and Mafuyu walked over to Ena to talk to her about it.

"Sorry about that, they're being idiots.." Rui's blush had faded, but you can still tell he was blushing. My blush slightly started to fade too.

"It's okay." I smiled and Rui started blushing again, his ears turning pink.

Rui looked away to hide his face, I chuckled a bit. "So, uh, anyways, let's untie you, but you can't move, okay?" Rui looked back at me once he finally stopped blushing.

I nodded and he begun slowly untying me, every time he finished untying one rope, he asked me the same question, "are you okay?" and every time, I said yes.

My eyes begun to fill with worry once I remembered Toya and Saki. "Wait! Toya and Saki! We were-" I was about to ramble on about what we were doing, but then..

Rui kissed me.

It only lasted a couple of seconds, but it felt like time froze. I glared at him after he did that, we were both obviously blushing.

"W-what was that for..?" He couldn't answer me because we heard somebody taking photos.

We looked over at Ena to see her pointing her phone right at us, "I'm recording a video for memories! Can you quickly do that again?" she looked at us eagerly, but I just looked over at Mafuyu.

Mafuyu looked annoyed but she didn't do anything to stop it, she just stood there crossing her arms.

"Well?" my attention snapped back over to Ena as she broke the silence that I didn't even realize  was happening.

"Ena, stop, it was only a one time thing." Rui got up but I quickly grabbed his hand, he looked down at me. He sighed, realizing what I wanted to do.

He smiled awkwardly before kissing me again, this one also only lasting for a couple of moments.

"Perfect! I'm gonna send this to Mizuki! Thanks!" she waved at us before walking off elsewhere, with Mafuyu following her.

Me and Rui were left in the room alone, it was filled with dead silence.

I jolted up, "I should go find Toya and Saki, Rui." I walked towards a nearby door I found, which was, I'm guessing, the outside.

Rui looked at me with a look that wrote 'stay with me',  but I couldn't, so I just shook my head.

Rui sighed before he walked towards me, he kissed me on the forehead before pushing me out the door.

I felt myself turn completely red as I stood outside their den.

It was cold, but my blush warmed me up, until I realized what I needed to do.
