-Mana P.O.V- (few days later)

"Ohayo!!", Ryota yelled in my cellphone. "Ohayo...you're awfully happy", I yawned. "Of course I am!!", he said bubbly.

"Milady! Your breakfast ready!!".

Since then, I keep touch with Ryota. He always greet me very morning, waking me up with his extremely annoying voice. But then again, he's so cheerful that it makes me happy everyday.

"Ryota always helped me out...and then...", a deja vu flashed inside my head...

-Flashback-

"I'm sorry for kissing you!", Ryota frowned.

"He's...hopeless", I sighed.

"I'm really sorry! It's my fault!! My body suddenly-". "I know Ryota", I smiled. "Manacchi...I love you", he hugged me afterward.

"It's so warm...these protective hands of his...it's also gentle", I closed my eyes.

"Ryota...I'm sorry but I can't...", I pushed him slowly. "I might hurt you Ryota". "No! You're not!!", Ryota insist. "It's okay Manacchi, you can use me as your runaway from Akashicchi", he smiled.

"What? That's too cruel!".

"I can't do that!! I don't want to hurt your feelings! Please don't be so absurd!", I said angrily. "Manacchi...". "Now let's just continue being friends, okay?", I forced a smile. "Okay, if Manacchi say so!", Ryota return to his cheerful self.

"I want you to stay cheerful like this...I don't want to make your cheerfulness disappear...".

"Mana", Akashi snapped me into reality. "Yes?", I asked. "You look rather..happy", he said intrigued. "Really?", I blushed. "You've been happy since you met Ryota", Akashi said blankly, but for some reason he looks annoyed. "T-That's not true!", I blushed. Akashi pierce me with his blazing gaze, his face somehow...look hurts, and there's a gentle expression on his face, although it doesn't last that long.

"A...Akashi?".

"I will discpline you", Akashi face darkened, he leak a rather ominous aura.

"Huh? What's wrong with him?".

"Sei-chan~!!", Reo-senpai is as cheerful as always.

"WHAT?", Akashi glared menacingly.

"Ehh..ano...the teacher called you to the faculty office", Reo-senpai face turned pale.

Akashi left without saying anything.

"That's weird".

"It looks like he's in pretty bad shape, I wonder if he doesn't feel well...", I can't help but worry. "Mana-chan, I think Sei-chan doing just fine", Reo-senpai pat my head. "But then...why he looks troubled?", I asked worriedly. "That...cause by a different factor", Chihiro-senpai added.

"Huh?".

"Man heart is more complicated than you thought Mana-chan~", Reo-senpai pinched me teasingly. "Ouch", I groaned.

"That's all for today", Akashi announced. "You all did a great job senpai", I encourage them. "Thanks kid", Nebuya-senpai treat me like a kid.

"Just because I'm short, don't treat me like that!".

"Hey, let's go to the cafe! You know, the one that just opened! My classmate said that the cafe near our school! We should go there!", Kotaro-senpai said eagerly. The others agree, I'm surprised that Akashi cooperate too.

When we get there, I quickly ordered mine. "I would like pancakes and oreo milkshake!", I can't hide my eagerness, I love pancakes yay!!! >\\\<.

"You sure fired up huh?", Nebuya-senpai tease me. "Don't eat too much, or you will get fat", Akashi remind me like a mother. "I know that Akashi", I pouted.

"That was delicious", my eyes sparkling.

"Child", Akashi snickered.

"Heyy!!!!", I growled.

We went home together like usual, but Akashi act weird...

"Akashi, what's wrong with you today? You're weird", I pouted.

"Says the weird", he said sarcastically.

"But I'm just being helpful...you know", she said sadly.

After I said that, Akashi face turn pink.

"Akashi?", I lean closer.

"Stay away slave", he shoved me coldly.

"Akashi, Reo-senpai said that you're not sick....he said that man have a  complicated heart...what does that mean?", I asked.

-Akashi P.O.V-

"Reo...", I cursed him.

"He's just babbling nonsense", I scowled.

"Ohh...I see", she answered innocently.

"She's quite troublesome", I sighed.

"MAYOI-CHUAAANNN!!".

"That voice, who-".
