Fuyuhiko x Peko

Chapter: 9 Project Start!

Peko's P.O.V

I cannot help but worry about Ibuki's ideas on what our project will be on. Especially because it can be anything...As long as it's school appropriate..

She seems more energetic than usual...Where is she taking me?

I ponder these thoughts as Ibuki dragged me down the narrow hallways of the school. 

Before I even knew it, we were outside and sitting on a bench.

"Sooo! Do you have any ideas for our project Peko-Peko?" Ibuki beamed as she looked at me with her eyes flooded with curiosity. 

I replied with a shrug as I spoke "I have nothing in mind at the moment." 

"That's ok! I got plenty of ideas! So just tell me what you think, okie?" Ibuki cheered as she whipped out a notepad. 

It was not very surprising to hear all of her crazy ideas. As I listened, I could not help but be caught off guard as Young master and Soda passed by. 

Ibuki paused her reading and tried to follow my eyes. She somehow managed to nearly read my mind. 

"Ohhh right! I bet you wanted to be partners with your boyfriend. But I just snatched you away, huh?" Ibuki said, now realizing the situation. 

I could see the slight guilt in her body language. I don't know how to react..

"N-no...Its fine." I managed to say as Ibuki watched the two men as they continued walking.

Ibuki's lip quivered as she responded. "You sure?".

I could not help but nod. I did want to be his partner, but I cannot always expect it to always happen. I cannot be too possessive of  young master. 

Ibuki embraced me as I sat there in confusion. 

It was all so sudden. Why is she embracing me after I offended her like that?

"Your awesome, Peko-Peko~!" Ibuki smiled and released her embrace. 

I lightly nodded as Ibuki got her notepad ready to continue reading. 

Maybe this is a good thing for me. For so long, I was in this tough shell and I never opened up to anybody. I barely even did for my young master, and I regret that.

But now that I realized my feelings. Now that I realized what love is, I think it is a good time to open up to others and make....Friends...

My classmates always treated me as a friend even though I never really got to know them. But I think maybe I should return the favor and try my best to give what they call friendship a try. 

And young master is opened up to more people too. He seemed to influence me to feel this way. 

It feels...Nice.

The familiar scent of roses flowed within the wind as we, the ultimate's work hard on a project that just might help me open up more. 

I never knew that something like this could help me so much.

How strange..

Oh well..

Fuyuhiko's P.O.V

Soda dragged me around like a little doll as he babbled on about Sonia. It's like this guy thinks about that princess for a daily routine.

He dragged me outside and we saw Ibuki and Peko sitting on a bench. Soda continued to drag me along as I could see Peko glancing our way. 

I'm pretty happy to see Peko working with another person but yet I cannot help but envy Ibuki. Even so, being able to do things with someone with the same gender and stuff can help her connect with others.
