Senju had to leave after a while once we got back to the school. Rindou was looking for me though so me and him went to the room the prom committee was at, to hand them everything.

As we walked towards it, one of the committee members came running up to us, grabbing the bag of items out of my hand. He nodded, "Thank you! We gotta this done!" I was a little startled by the sudden action but Rindou dismissed it completely and started walking again so I did the same.

We continued walking down the hall, talking but didn't get very far since the committee member stopped us again. He pointed to the bag, a bit sternly, "What is this? I thought we were using blue confetti for the filling, not purple!" I turned, giving him an apologetic smile, "Sorry, those were the ones I could find. And the other guy told me it's fine to mix them with the white and gold confetti so I thought-" "It doesn't matter what you thought!" He interrupted, hand on hip.

He continued his scolding with an irritated look, "This is clearly purple and we specifically said to get-" "Don't talk to her like that," Rindou intervened.

His voice was calm but he looked annoyed. The guy scoffed, "I'm just saying, she can't even get-" "Watch your tone," Rindou warned again. He's not a very patient person. I've realized that in many of the Roppongi fights. The committee member wasn't having it either, though.

"Now why-" In a flash, Rindou fist flew towards the guy's face. I grabbed his wrist as fast as I could, stopping it before it made impact.

I breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his hand back down. "I-It's alright! It's not that big of a deal. I'll go get the blue ones, okay?" I smiled, trying to deescalate the situation. Rindou shook his head, "No way. You're not going. You've done more than enough to help them with something that's their responsibility. If they're incapable of even doing that much, then should they really be in charge of this?" He grabbed my wrist, pulling me along as he walked away.

The committee member shouted, "Hey, where are you going!? You just tried to punch me! Don't walk away from this, you-" Let's just say they were both in the principals office for a while after that.

I shook my head, disapprovingly glaring at the sidewalk as Rindou and I walked back from school. "Don't just lose your temper like that! Are you crazy?!" I scolded. He merely shrugged, grinning. "I mean I won. It's not like that punk could've beaten a Roppongi leader, anyways." I sighed, "Rindou, that's not issue here!" Honestly, even though I was trying to stop the fight, a part of me also wanted Rindou to win. So, I did try to stop it, but not seriously. I took my sweet time with it.

He placed a hand on top of my head, rubbing it in a comforting manner, "Stop stressing so much. I was mad because he said those things to you. You're great at your job, when you're doing council things, and you even help out with something that's not your responsibility and that's what he's going to say to you?" "Well I mean it's also-" "Uh uh. Don't wanna hear it."

His hand brushed down to my forehead and he placed a kiss on top of it. Did he just give me a forehead kiss? Well, an indirect one at least, but still. I paused, frozen and just staring at him for a bit.

Rindou chuckled, threading his fingers through mine as he started walking again. "C'mon, let's go."After a while I decided to ask about it.

"Um, Rindou why did you-" "Don't ask. Because I don't know either."

It was time. The afternoon before prom. Emma, Hina, Yuzuha and I were all at Senju's house to get ready. Takeomi was in the living room, watching a show and Sanzu stayed in room, far away from us.

Senju's room looked a bit chaotic right now. There were things everywhere. Emma was in charge of doing everyone's makeup since she had it perfected. Yuzuha would do our hair afterwards. It was a whole process, and a messy one, might I add, but we looked amazing after. Senju was blasting music in the background, while Takeomi occasionally yelled to keep it down.

When we heard a doorbell, everyone paused, going silent. Takeomi shouted, "Hey, there's some kid here asking to see...who again?..Hina? Yeah, he wants to see Hina!" We giggled a bit, looking towards Hina. I'm sure it was Takemichi, coming to take her to prom. I can just picture how nervous he is outside right now being in Takeomi's presence. We all waved bye to her and cleaned up, heading downstairs. I forgot to grab my phone so I told them all to go ahead and I would come after. I went back to Senju's room, scanning around. I noticed my phone on her bed and grabbed it, rushing down the stairs.

I ran into something, and that something caught me, arms around my waist, before I stumbled. It was Sanzu. "Oh, hey Sanzu," I smiled. "You-you...y-" He seemed to be speechless. I waited patiently for him to finish his sentence, a small smirk on my face. Takeomi was walking by and noticed the interaction so he came up to us, patting Sanzu on the back. "He thinks you look cute."

I giggled a bit as Sanzu immediately pulled away, holding his hands up in defense, stiffly, shaking his head. "No! I-I mean yes, but- wait no. You do- I mean- nevermind!" He stormed off, his arms crossed. Takeomi chuckled, before turning back to me.

"Can I tell you something?" I nodded, "Sure." "That's the first time I've seen him act like this. He never really seems interested in anything lovey-dovey but I've seen the way he looks at you. And Senju never shuts up about you either. They're both head over heels for you it seems. You have them both wrapped around your finger." There was pause, since I didn't know what to say, as my mouth hung open in shock, and my eyes widened. Takeomi continued, "I mean, there's nothing you can do about that. In fact, judging by your expression, I don't even think you realized." I closed my mouth, relaxing my eyes. He chuckled again, crossing his arms and leaning his back against the wall before continuing.

"I'm just saying. Please be careful. I don't want to have to deal with some emo teenager right now because of their crush or whatever. Sanzu would probably listen to music all day, staring at a window twenty four seven and Senju wouldn't stop complaining about how she could be better for you. You get what I mean. That's kind of annoying, so I'm just letting you know to be careful since I don't want to put up with them acting as if they broke up with someone or something like that." He walked off before I could respond. I stood there, a bit shocked from what he just told me.

So basically, both Sanzu and Senju like me. If I picked either one, or even gave the other the slightest bit of more attention then the other would feel hurt. What? What is it with these siblings? Ran and Rindou. Izana and Mikey. And now Sanzu and Senju too?

I was pulled out of my thoughts as I heard a knock on the door. Haru. I opened the door, smiled brightly, as he handed me flowers. "You look so pretty!" He smiled. "Thanks! You look great too!"

He paused for a second, looking at something over my shoulder. "Um, why's that guy that's glaring at me?" I turned to see Sanzu's piercing gaze. I laughed nervously, and stepped outside, closing the door. "Don't worry about him."

Haru held his hand out to me and I took it, "Okay. Well, uh, let's go, shall we?"
