*BEEP BEEP BEEP*

I woke up, half expecting to see Budo's watch flashing. I was instead 'greeted' by my alarm clock.

"Good morning beautiful~" Budo opened my door and placed a tray full of food on my bed. "A meal fit for a Princess, your majesty." he bowed.
"Where's yours?" I asked.
"I didn't make any."
"As your boss I demand that you share mine." I scooted over.
"Alright, alright."
"How much sleep did you get?" I asked before taking a bite.
"About an hour. That's why I told you to stay home." he yawned.
"Budo maybe you shouldn't be going to school today."
"I'll be fine Ayano." he laughed, "I've had worse."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive, Buttercup." he smiled, "I'll have an early night tonight."
"If you insist."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After finishing the amazing breakfast that Budo made, I got ready for school and me and Budo began our walk. I wore my hair down by request of Budo and stayed close to him at all times.

"Ugh I wish we were in the same class." he sighed, "It'd be easier to keep an eye out on you."
"It's never been a problem before, I'm fine." I smiled.
"Yes, but you've never been on a mission with me before." he looked around, "Which means that you're at a higher risk now."
"It was fun though."
"Well.. yeah. I have to admit that I liked you being there." he smiled a little. "But you can't go on any more missions with me. Never." he turned serious.
"What? Why?"
"They're dangerous, and you're very.. distracting."
"Distracting?"
"Very."
"How?" I asked.
"You're pretty.. easy to talk to." he coughed. "I can't focus."
"What if it wasn't me?"
"Huh?"
"What if I looked different? Like just another agent." I suggested.
"Maybe.. probably not. I'd still know it's you."
"I'll see what I can do, boo." I winked.
"This could go two ways. Great for me, or not so great for me."
"Good luck, muffin." I laughed.
"You teaseeee." he groaned.
"Sorry Budo~"

I was sat in class when I heard a knock at my classroom's door. The teacher allowed the visitor in and whispered to him for a moment before he looked at me and gestured for me to go outside the class with him.

"What's up?" I asked after closing the door.
"Nemesis survived, and she's at school." he looked around, "She was in my classroom looking for you. Luckily she didn't recognise me. I need to get you out of here." he grabbed my hand, pulling me into a closet and locking it.

"Now what?" I asked.
"Now we wait for her to leave." he sat down.
"Seriously?" I sat next to him. "You're an agent, kill her or some shit!"
"I can't Miss Aishi. The school is too crowded. If she goes into a classroom then I can't do anything; we just have to wait."
"Fine.."
"If she comes in here," he yawned, "Just give me a really big hug, got it?"
"Why? If you want a hug then just-"
"My jacket is bullet proof." he laughed, "It's so I can keep you out of harms way. But if you're offering.." he put his arm around me and gave me a hug, so I hugged him back happily.
"I'm always up for hugs."
"You're adorable." he kissed me on the forehead.
"Why thank you." I smiled. "You're such a softie for a secret agent. I thought you'd be tougher."
"Mhm." his voice had turned raspy and non-energetic.
"You're tired, aren't you?"
"Mhm."
"You wanna go to sleep?"
"Mhm."
"You're not listening to me anymore, are you?"
"Mm.. hmm."
"You're asleep, aren't you?"

...

No response.

"Some secret agent." I laughed, looking at the peaceful spy that had fallen asleep, still hugging me. "Good night." I put my hand on his.
"Good.. night." he finally responded, hugging me tighter, holding my hand.

Using my other hand, I grabbed a gun from his jacket pocket just in case before getting comfortable. Soon after, the bell rung for the end of class time - which woke up Budo.

"I'm sorry." he yawned, sitting up a little. "That was really stupid of me."
"It's fine, you only got an hour of sleep." I leaned on his shoulder. "It's lunch time now, so we have plenty of time." I started to get comfortable.
"Hmm, I guess." he sat up and took his jacket off, laying it over me, "Just in case."
"But now you aren't protected."
"My job is to protect you Miss Aishi. Not myself." he smiled, getting comfortable again.
"Thank you." I kissed him on the cheek, moving the jacket over both of us.
"I l.." he paused.
"Hm?"
"Forget it." he smiled. "Thank you Ayano."
"For what?" I couldn't help but smile at him using my first name.
"This has honestly been the 3 most fun days I've ever had."
"Ditto."
"I'm trying really hard to stay awake."
"Just go to sleep Budo." I held his hand again.
"If you don't mind.."
"Not at all." I yawned. "Not.. at.. all."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hello, is anyone in there?" there was a knock at the door, waking me and Budo up. He immediately put his finger over my mouth.
"It could be Nemesis." he whispered in my ear extremely quietly - almost inaudibly, which as always send shivers down my spine. "I love when you do that." he smiled.
"Stop ittt." I smirked, whispering at the same volume as him. He started tickling me while I covered my mouth trying not to laugh.
"Stop what?" he whispered into my ear again. I pulled him forward and kissed him, which immediately stopped him from tickling me.

"Have you found them yet?" a voice said behind the door, making me and Budo stop kissing and turn to look through. Budo was pretty much sat on my lap at this point from tickling me, so he put the jacket over us both and loaded his gun.

"No Sensei, we've been looking all over for them."
"Well class started an hour ago, it's not like either of them to skip lessons, I'm worried."

Budo smirked at me before leaning back in to continue kissing me. It was unexpected, but I kissed back nevertheless.

"You should have seen that coming Aya." he smiled. "You couldn't have expected me not to."
"Budo, is that a gun in your pocket or are you just excited to see me?" I smirked, making him look down.
"Uhh total gun. 100%." he turned bright red, moving off of my lap and crossing his legs.
"Then show me the gun."
"Fuck you." he laughed, "I can't help it."

Budo called the Director and told him about us hiding from Nemesis in the closet - but of course he left out some 'details' about it. The Director then called the school and made up some excuses meaning me and Budo just had to sneak out of school and we'd be fine.
