Itsuki took a bottle of lemon juice from the konibini's fridge and he placed a kiss on top of Hokuto's head. He didn't know that Fuju was still looking at them but it seems the girl noticed this.

"Ikou?" The girl asked and she pulled Fuju away from them. When Hokuto could finally hear the footsteps slowly fading, he lifted his head and looked at Itsuki with teary eyes.

"Aren't they from Royal High?" A few more students came and saw Itsuki and Hokuto. The two quickly went to the counter to pay for the bottle of lemon juice but Hokuto saw boxes of Pocky displayed, so he got some of it.

"You like this?" Itsuki asked while holding a box of Pocky. Hokuto nodded while taking some money out from his wallet but he stopped him.

"I'll pay." He got his wallet from his pocket and gave a ten-thousand yen bill to the cashier as payment. Hokuto looked at him with eyes widened and the cashier didn't expect it.

"Keep the change." He took the plastic bag full of Pocky and a bottle of lemon juice and they went out of the konbini already.

"No, I will take the change." Hokuto was forced to go back inside the konbini but Itsuki pulled him to the car already.

"No, let's go home already. I can earn that money in a millisecond." He placed his hand on top of Hokuto's head and pushed him down a bit to force him inside the car, then he shut the door closed.

Before he got inside the car, he looked at the side and saw Fuju and the girl together. He made sure he would remember his face. Hokuto can feel the tension between Itsuki and Fuju, so he knocked the window lightly to steal Itsuki's attention.

"Let's go now." He said once Itsuki got inside the car. He fastened the seatbelt and since he can still feel that Fuju is staring at them, he leaned his face closer to Itsuki's and gently kissed his lips.

"Is that my reward for saving you?" Itsuki asked after the kiss. He chuckled softly and nodded his head.

The two arrived at Itsuki's house after a while. Hokuto looked outside the window and saw how the gates automatically opened. He got his phone from his bag and sent his parents a text message that he will stay at a friend's place. He didn't mention any names because he knows that it will be a fuss.

"This is not a mansion. This is a castle." He said and the butlers opened the car doors for them. The maid got Mars from the backseat and another maid got their bags.

"Welcome home, Young Master." He was surprised when everyone greeted them once they arrived inside the house.

"Prepare a milk bath for us." His eyes widened when he heard the word, 'us.' He took some steps away from Itsuki and grabbed his bag from the maid.

"What do you mean by 'us?' I will go home already. I can take a bath at home." He started to walk out of the house but Itsuki held the collar stand of his uniform coat and dragged him back inside.

"Fujiwara Itsuki! Put me down!" He shouted when Itsuki carried him and placed him on his shoulder like a sack of rice.

He crossed his arms as Itsuki placed him down on the bed. They are now inside Itsuki's room. He looked around and saw how simple his room is. It is spacious but the furniture gives the minimalist vibes.

"You don't want to take a bath with me?" He raised a brow and threw his bag towards him. Itsuki quickly caught it and placed it down on the study table.

"You're taking advantage of me, Fujiwara Itsuki. For your information, I'm not your boyfriend. We are not lovers. We are only schoolmates." He emphasized the word, 'schoolmate.' He stood up from the bed and walked around the room, looking at the photos hanging on the wall.
