          "So," Mitsuba said, looking bored, "who exactly are we looking for here?" Greeted by silence, Mitsuba gaped at them in shock, incredulity painting his face, almost offended. What's he so offended for anyway? "Don't tell we're just going to blindly hunt around! That's lame! This is lame!" Mitsuba wailed.

Lunch rolled by and the makeshift girl-hunting team started their mission. The boys agreed to stay in the classroom and assign it as their rendezvous point—it was at that moment Kou realized how stupid their mission is; to go as far as to make a rendezvous point, but he won't stop there. He will find the culprit. (Since he has nothing better to do anyway. )

Besides, Mitsuba seems to be enjoying it. Kou has yet to figure out why he cared for him first but he sets it aside for now.

"We're looking for girls with S in their names, apparently," Satou told Mitsuba, drinking on his water bottle before placing it down on the desk he's perched atop of, feet swaying. "Since we don't know a lot from other classes, we'll start with girls we know."

"And girls that seem like they crush on our Kou-kun here," Yokoo chimed in, winking as he wrapped an arm around Kou's shoulder as the latter furiously blushed. "We're helping Kou or else he won't be able to sleep at night and we'll be stuck with a grumpy Kou."

Kou opened his mouth to protest. Satou interrupted him. "Can Kou even get grumpy? I don't think I've ever seen Kou get grumpy," Satou said, looking right at Kou.

Yokoo gaped and cackled. "You're right! That would be gold! Don't you think so Mitsuba—?" Yokoo paused and blinked. "Mitsuba? Are you okay?"

The three turned to the boy who was picking invisible lint from his scarf, pouting and grumping to himself, glaring at the school floor. Glaring at an inanimate object won't do anything, Mitsuba, Kou wanted to say but kept his mouth shut. Kou could see how long Mitsuba's eyelashes are in that angle and for a moment, Kou was mesmerized. He never realized because this was ( as lame as it is ) the first he's spent time with Mitsuba for more than 30 minutes, so he got to see more of Mitsuba . . . and sides of him Kou never knew.

Was it strange to think that Mitsuba is prettier than the girls he's met in school?

Yes, the voice in his head nagged, that's weird. Why were you even thinking of that? Maybe you really are creepy, creep.

Mitsuba wasn't avoiding the more girly aspect he has in both his appearance and personality and Kou found that endearing. He respected that Mitsuba wasn't hiding a true part of himself, though, Kou somehow thought that maybe Mitsuba might be hiding something more.

Kou shook his head and forced himself out of Lala land when Mitsuba felt his stare and met his eyes. Kou thought he felt his heart leap from his throat when pink met blue, but Kou shoved that thought and looked away, afraid that he would do something weird.
