Being pulled back up, our eyes meet and I can feel my cheeks turn red.

"W-what are you doing here?", I ask him.

"I came to pick you up. Wanna go see a movie?", he replies.

"Why so sudd-", before I can finish my sentence the girls surrounding us move in even closer.

"Fushimi-kun!! Is it true?!" - "Are you really related to THE Takahashi Mikoto!?" -

"That means you have his number, right?? Can you call him over?! " - "Does that mean you live together?!"

The girls are screaming and shouting and my head starts spinning. I hear a buzzing sound in my ears as my body goes numb. The hippos with girl-uniforms begin to melt into one blurry mass. I think I'm gonna throw up! Suddenly I feel someone pulling my arm and it takes me a few seconds to realize that I'm actually running. After a while we finally slow down.

"You ok?", Jay turns around and studies my face.

My throat feels dry and sore and I can't get a single word out, so I just nod.

Taking our time to calm down while we walk to the bus stop.

"So? Do you want to go see a movie?", Jay looks at me with a smile.

Thinking about it for a moment I shake my head.

"Why not? And I even came all the way here to ask you out on a date...!", he sticks his hands into his pockets.

Is he disappointed? Mad? No, that's not it... Could it be? Is he ... sulking? Wait. What?! D-d-d...DATE?!!?

"I-it's not that I don't want to go there with you - it's just - you know - I just think...", I grab onto his sweater and muster up all of my courage,"...it'd be nicer if it would be just the two of us!"

I feel the heat rising inside of me and my cheeks feel like they are on fire. I quickly put my head down and face the ground as I begin to realize what I just said. That's it. I'm going to die of embarrassment! He lifts my chin up and our faces are separated by only a few inches, a dangerous smile playing on his lips.

"Y'know, you're really cute when you say things like that before thinking about them", his lips move to my ear so our cheeks slightly touch, "...especially when they make you blush all the way to your ears"

Coming back to my senses after he turned back around, I am being pulled inside the bus.
