"Oops, I need to change my camera battery. We can have a break now then." Mister Luke went to his bags with his camera in hand, leaving us sitting on the fountain edge.

Akabane's phone started to vibrate from inside his pocket. I had to admit, I was quite curious who was calling him but it wasn't really any of my business.

He fished out his phone from his pocket and scanned the caller ID. He then scanned the area and turned to me, "shh.." He picked up.

"So Nakamura's calling me? What do you want now?" Akabane smiled while listening to the voice on the other side of the line. I know they were very close partners, especially in mischief, but how long had they been this close?

"You got Nagisa in a maid dress? BAHAAHA-" Akabane laughed at the thought, "Send me some snaps." There was murmuring that I could barely make out. A feeling washed over me. It was like a heavy cloud over my heart.

"...."

"I wish I could but I'm busy at the moment,"

"...."

"A girl? Well, that's for you to find out." He smirked and held the phone up to me. I violently shook my head in distress, Rio would definitely recognise my voice.

"You wanna say hi to my friend?~" his voice had a playful tone, "awh, they're quite shy, Nakamura. I'll join you all next time." With that he hung up.

I let out the breath I had been holding, "Why did you do that? Rio is going to be so curious and who knows what she'll do in order to find out."

"Relax, L/N, it's not like she'll care much since it's only about me."

"And if you're wrong?!"

"I won't be. Nakamura and I aren't nearly close to enough for her to be prying into my life. She won't find out about our engagement anytime soon."

The clouds over my heart had lightened from his statement. But not from the fact that our secret was safe but more about how those two weren't as close as I had previously imagined.

"I'm hungry. What about you?" He leaned back and turned to me, awaiting my response. On cue, my stomach rumbled.

"Y-yeah, but we still aren't done with the photos."

"We can just sneak away," Akabane suggested with a mischievous glint in his eyes, "I mean- what's the worse that'll happen?"

"We could get into big trouble." I said anxiously. What if my mother found out? If we ran away, she definitely would. Plus, I'd feel really bad if we left Mister Luke here all by himself.

"Our mothers had the nerve to force us into this engagement and then flee to Europe straight after. Surely, we don't have to take their crap right now. They've got enough photos anyway." He stood up and reached out an arm for me to take. I hesitantly raised my arm before using him as support to get up myself.

"What do we do about?-" I looked in the direction our photographer had run off to.

"No need to worry about him, he got here on his own, he'll be fine getting back. And even if he tattles to our mothers, we'll have each other's backs, won't we?." Akabane's words calmed me down; even though all of my current worries weren't solved, I felt like I didn't have to think about anything else at all except for this moment.
