"Are you leaving?" Akito asks from the bedroom door as I grab my coat.

"Did I wake you up?"

Well, I probably did, given the fact I drop a million things when trying to be silent...

Still, he shakes his head, walking up to me.

"Do you have any plans after today?" He puts his arms around my waist, looking up at me.

I immediately shake my head, flustered. Even if I did, I'd cancel everything!

He knows I can never refuse him when he acts like this...

"Good. It's going to be just the two of us." He grins, ruffling my hair and letting me go.

"No third wheels, got it?" He sighs, and I nod. Everyone that comes along with us just invites themselves..!

He says goodbye as I leave. Before walking out of the door, I pause, looking back at him. He tilts his head in confusion, and I inhale deeply.

".. I'll be back." I give him a quick kiss before closing the door behind me and dash down the stairs. I'm so embarrassed!

As I open the door to my car, I hear the window open and look up.

"I love you! Be safe, darling!" He yells, drawing attention on me. I almost slam the door on my leg and nod, quickly driving away.

What's wrong with him..?! He's so--!

Huffing, I put my palm over my face, trying to calm myself down. I'm going to have an accident if I continue to be jittery like this.

"How was your birthday?" Azusawa asks as the three of us walk around a bunch of shops, waiting for An to catch her breath. She offered to carry all of our bags...

I offered to help, yet she rejected me. What's wrong with me carrying them?

"I liked the gifts you all gave me. I also liked staying home..." I say. An grins, tugging at my collar.

"Looks like you two enjoyed it a bit too much~" She cackles as Azusawa smacks her hand away, my cheeks turning red as I pull it up. How the hell did she see that..?!

"Well, um... I'm glad you- or, the both of you.. had.. fun..!" Azusawa awkwardly says, avoiding looking.

"Oh my gosh." She covers her face in humiliation, and I nod, looking away.

"Y-Yes."

An looks at the both of us and decides to open her mouth again.

"So how many times-- Ouch!!"

-*-*-

"Okay, Toya! If you're going to propose, you gotta start with getting the perfect ring!" An says, dragging me over to a jewelery store after buying her an ice pack.

I didn't know Azusawa could hit that hard... I'm afraid.

I came to them again not only because of the fact they're already engaged as well, but they've helped a lot of our friends with relationship conflicts, or so I've heard. They're amazing...

"Take a look around, Aoyagi-kun! Let us know which one you're thinking about." Azusawa smiles, following An around to make sure she doesn't break anything.

Still, I find it ironic that An knows so much about this stuff, yet Azusawa was the one to propose.

That reminds me of that Valentine's Day...

"Hello! Do you need help with anything?" A lady says, randomly appearing next to me. Yes--

I quickly shake my head and watch her leave. Dang it...
