Poppy and Lotus [COMPLETE]

"Hi, I'd like to submit my application for the club."

"Oh, thank you, Fukuoka-San!" I watched with excitement as one of my homeroom classmates walked over to the desk in the room I'd reserved for the club. With a wide smile on his face as he watched me, he reached over to hand me the completely filled out paper. He was always so sweet. Having him in our club would be really nice.

WHISH! CRINKLE!

A heavily ringed hand came out before us and snatched the paper before I could. My blood started to boil before I even turned to the one it belonged to, my irritation level at the max I could stand.

"Ren...."

"Move along, Fukuoka, we've got other applicants in line."

When I turned to glare at my boyfriend, he was staring Fukuoka down like he suspected him of stealing or something. Fukuoka began to sweat drop on the spot, his entire confident posture crumbling as if he'd been rejected.

Which he may as well have been!

The moment the door closed behind him, I smacked Ren's arm from around my shoulders and jumped out of my seat.

"Geez! How am I supposed to gain any club members if you keep scaring off all the guys!"

"I'm only looking out for my girl! Did you see the way half of these idiots were looking at you? Like they wanted to eat you or something...tsk tsk."

I rolled my eyes at Ren and tried to pull away when he wrapped his arms around me. I wanted to shy away and slip out of his grip, but he was too strong. We'd been "boyfriend and girlfriend" for a full week now and I still wasn't used to his crazy antics. He hadn't even taken me out on a date yet and here he was always next to me, hugging me, scaring off any boys who even breathed in my direction and shouting to an entire room about how much he liked me.

Still, I couldn't help but notice how much I actually liked the closeness..something about it was really comforting. It was a really great change from the loneliness I'd felt for the passed few months. Of course, when he hugged me like this I couldn't get out of his grip, and when I didn't have a choice but to relax and let it happen, I found myself feeling a warmth in my chest I'd never expect before. I couldn't describe it. It made me uncomfortable at first, but then I sort of just melted into it.

Ka-chuck

I push as hard as I can against Ren's chest, turning red instantly when I realize someone had walked in and probably saw us embracing and being lovey dovey.

...If that's what you could call it.

But when I turn and look at our next applicant, I'm completely shocked into forgetting the embarrassing moment.

"Hello, you two. I came to submit my application for the club."

"Eh?!" I seemed more shocked than Ren to see Hinata Aomori standing in the doorway with a paper in his hand!
