Accidental Kiss With the School Prince

Two

A few minutes pass an I'm in yuchiro's house, actually in his kitchen, to be precise. I stare at everything in the fridge and pantry. They don't have much. "Looks like I have to go out." I sight and shut the fridge. I go to the living room.

I see Yuchiro on his recliner, peaceful sleeping. His lips pucker a little and one of his hand rests on his stomach and his other arm behind his head. I inch closer. He looks like some star when he sleeps. No wonder so many people have a crush on him.

I walk upstairs and find Ken.

"Hey Ken."
"Hey, what do you need?"
"Well, Yuchiro is sleeping and I don't want to disturb him, I'll be going to to get groceries, I'll be back in a bit."
"Alright, be safe."

For a thirteen year old, Ken was very responsible. I smile and walk outside. I have a few dollars on me. I see a twenty in my pocket, "this should be enough." I walk for about eight minutes and I reach Walmart. I waste no time getting what I need. A small pack of rice, broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower. They already had most of what I needed so I was ready to go.

After I paid, I started to leave when someone called my name. "Lisa?" I turned around and say Matt, yuchiro's good friend walking up to me.

"What are you doing?"
"Getting groceries for yuch-" I try to stop myself before he gets any ideas, but it's too late.

"I didn't know you and him were a thing, I though him and Macy were dating."

"I'm- a close friend of his mom's so she just asked me to get groceries for her house is all." I let go a sigh of relief as a save myself.

"I'm coming with you,"
"Where?" I ask nervous.
"Yuu's house, duh."
"You don't have to-"
"I want to."

After arguing for about four minutes, Matt ends up driving me and walks inside with me. I remove my shoes but Matt doesn't. I stop him.

"Matt, wait."
"What?" He turns around and stares at me.

I put the groceries in the kitchen. "Take your shoes off, please."
"Of course, I'm sorry." He removes them and jumps onto yuchiro's lap. "I'm home!"

"What the fuck, man." I can't help but laugh.

I try to laugh quest my, but it's doesn't come out quest my. I cover my mouth with my fingers but it doesn't work. As I'm laughing, I look at Yuchiro who is smiling at me. Matt stares at me too. He looks surprised.

"I didn't know you laughed, Lisa."
"You have a beautiful laugh too, Ayami."

"Who's Ayami?" Matt asks.

I started cooking and listened to them talk.

"Lisa is Ayami,it's her real name."
"Damn, Yuu, you know more about her than I bet anybody."
"Well," he looks at me and smirks, " I can't help it."

I head to the living room sinc the rice might take some time, and the vegetables are done.

"I kind of what my name to be Ayami again, too" I sit down on the floor, somewhat near Yuchiro.

He smiles and looks at me. "You are Ayami, you just have to embrace it." He sits in the floor beside me and stares at me.

"Do you know who I am?"

I'm startled by his question. "W-what do you mean?"

"N-nothing." I feel like ice shut him off somehow.

"You lovebirds," Matt started and starts smelling the air. "What's that smell?"

"The rice!" Yuchiro and I yell out at the same time and rush to the kitchen.

I unplug the machine and bring dinner out in the living room and Ken comes down too. It was a Friday anyway, so it was pretty late. It was ten o'clock and I fixed everyone's plate, including Matt's, with rice, and some miso soup.

"Ooh, what's this?" Matt asks.

"Washoku" Yuchiro and I answer at the same time, again.

Matt stares at us and I hand Matt, Yuchiro, and Ken a chopstick and step back. Matt struggles with his chopsticks so he starts eating with a spoon I handed him moments before. Yuchiro is about to eat but he stops mid-way.

"Aren't you gonna eat? Or are you just gonna stand there?"

"I'll eat last," I smile. " I was taught to think about others, then myself." I smile and look at him. His gaze on me is soft and homely.

"I'm not that hungry, I'll probably eat it soon." He stands up and puts his plate in the kitchen.

"Huh? Did it not smell good or-" "I'm just not hungry Ayami," he puts his hand on my shoulder and smiles. He goes in the living room and sits on the couch.

Thirty minutes pass and Ken and mat are done eating. Ken thanked me for the food and went upstairs.

"Damn Ayami! You're the best at cooking! You'd make a perfect housewife you know! You could be mine, you know." He smirks.

I feel a little angered. "It's ironic Matt," Yuchiro stares at me and I stand up strait. "You didn't know that I existed until Yuchiro noticed me. When I had a crush on you, you didn't know me and-"

"It's not like that Ayami. I did know who you were. I just, I don't know, it's hard to explain but-"

"Drop it, Matt. My bad, I should have not brought that up. I'm sorry." I sit down on the floor and look down at my phone. I see I got a text from my mom.

Mom- okay, but I'm not going to be home until Tuesday, so you have to find a place to stay for tonight, tomorrow, and Monday.

Me-that's okay. Thanks, love you.

I hang my phone up and stare at Yuchiro. I stand up and walk towards him. He looks surprised but doesn't move an inch. I bow down until I see his knees, only a few centimeters away.

"Please allow me to stay here for at least three days. I will be in..." I feel tears, why? "I- I will be in your.. Debt until I can return the...." My tear falls on his jeans. "Favor."

I feel bad. Really bad. This is Macy's boyfriend, but I'm staying with him. Why? I feel so close to him, for some reason.

He stands up and lifts my chin up and speaks in Japanese, so Matt doesn't understand. "Ayami, this won't make sense right now, but you're very near and dear to me. For you, and for your family, I can do anything. I am willing to help anyone you know for yourself and myself. Don't forget this." He hugs me and by reflex, I hug him back.

"Should I tell Macy, or...?" Matt says looking at us.

"I'm sorry Ayami, I'm gonna have to leave Macy," I stare at him in surprise. "Please call her over." I do as he tells me and within ten minutes, Macy is here and in front of Yuchiro. She doesn't question my presence but just smiles at me. I think she knows what it's for. She starts talking first.

"Yuu, I'm moving, tonight, I can't be with you, I'm sorry." She smiles and looks at me. "You've been my best friend and I can cross seas for you. I know who can make you happy, I know what I'm doing. I've Ben thinking, and this is best." She gives me a hug and leaves. She doesn't let Yuchiro say anything.

Soon, Matt leaves and Ken is asleep. Yuchiro lends me his sweatshirt so I slip that on, take my tights off, so I can save it for tomorrow. I sit on the couch and Yuchiro is on a recliner. I remember I brought my bag so I look in there.

I take out my glasses and wear ten and Yuchiro laughs at me.

It's roughly twelve and it's dark, none of the lights or on except the illuminating light of the tv running.

I stare at it and then look at Yuchiro. I look at the to again, and think.

I'm here, with my crush, it's late. I don't know what will happen, honestly.
