A/N: tsubaka21 made a fanart of Taka and Ami! It's up there ↑! Thank you so much for the cool art! This had me crying. Hahaha!
AND ALSO!!! I made a promotional instagram account for this because I imagine Taka enjoyed pretending Ami was his wife so he still pretends. On social media. Hahaha, so that's why I made the IG account. Please follow if you're interested on Taka's pretend life. [instagram.com/1am.i] The username is: 1am.i (I feel smart with that username pun lmao)
This has obvious sexual themes and I plan to write two different versions of the parts where there are strong sexual themes. I will post the Rated M ones on AO3 and the safe ones here. But that would be in the future chapters that have serious sexual scenes. Please be warned, Rated T in this chapter.
Now on to the short chapter 7!

To say that Ryota was intrigued is an understandment.
Smoking outside of their tour bus, he sees Taka get off of a cab with a girl in tow. Ryota's eyes zeroed in on their joined hands, complete with entwined fingers, and he wonders if this is a new girlfriend or the mysterious half-sister that Taka somehow pulled from his pocket. If the latter were the case, then Tomoya's accusation of siscon is true.
But the moment he meets Taka's gaze, Taka drops the hand he's holding and stuffs his own in his coat pocket. The girl looks at Taka with confusion and an alarming level of hurt on her face but doesn't react more than that. She does however; warily eye the cigarette on his lips when she sees him.
Fascinating.
"Yo, Ryota-kun!" Taka greets as they approach.
"Hey." Ryota greets back with a wave. He throws his cigarette on the ground and stubs it with his toe, noticing immediately the look of relief on the girl's face. "Who's your friend?"
Taka ruffles the girl's short hair, making her frown as she fixes her unruly dark locks. She stays quiet still.
"Moriuchi Ami." Taka answers, grinning proudly.
"Moriuchi? The elusive sister then." Ryota chuckles, smiling at Ami.
"Speak in English, she doesn't understand." Taka tells him.
"I am Ryota. Nice to meet you, Ami-chan." Ryota introduces himself with a bow and a warm smile.
"Hi." Ami greets back shyly, tugging at the back of Taka's coat.
Taka looks at her questioningly and feels her anxiousness by the way she plays with the back of his coat. She glances at him with wide eyes and all Taka wants to do is to take her hand in his again to calm her. But he cannot do that in Ryota's presence because he's seen them hold hands a while ago. Ryota's already skeptical and Taka doesn't want to give him more reason to be.
"Let's get inside the bus. I still have two more friends." Taka says suddenly, directing Ami to the bus and pulling her luggage bag inside.
Ami and Ryota follow and they come across a duet of snores upon entering. Ami remembers the first time she got on the bus and the noise that these men created while sleeping. She giggles at the memory, making Taka and Ryota look at her weirdly.
"Welcome to the boys dorm, Ami-chan." Ryota says sarcastically and Ami finds his humor a little bit endearing. With this, she relaxes fractionally around Ryota, smiling a little at his comment.
"Let me just..." Taka says and strides to the bunks. He reaches inside Toru's and Tomoya's bunks and then a second later, a chorus of pained groans was heard.
