Summary : The almighty Sakurai Sho was the perfect student in Sora High-school. He was rich, smart, and overall irresistable. All girls in school were falling at his feet even though everybody knew about his playboy lifestyle. Aiba Masaki was a nice student, everyone wanted to be his friend. Sho and Aiba’s behaviors looked so different from one another. But you can’t judge the book by its cover, right?
Sho`s POV
It`s been 1 month since Aiba had started to live in my house. And I must say that now I loved my house more than I loved the rooftop. He had changed everything, to the better, of course. I didn’t eat alone now, I never took my breakfast in my room, I wanted to finish my classes as fast as I could, I wasn’t lonely anymore...
Nino was the one who realized that I have changed after Aiba had started to live in my house, he said, “You look happy, Sho-kun... I wonder why... You’ve never looked happy before...” he smirked. Well... I ignored him anyway.
Nino and Ohno told me that they wanted me to be happy and would stop the bet. But I never had a chance to talk about it with Jun. Although Jun kept coming to my house almost every day. We never really spoke to each other, only when he greeted me or when he left. Aiba seemed to really like him now. He could talk with Jun for hours. I wondered what they were talking about?
We never wanted to be the centre of attention. But... Who didn’t want to talk about Sakurai Sho and Aiba Masaki in one packet? They had always talked about us separately, now, when they had a chance to talk about me and Aiba at the same time, who’d want to miss it?
I heard some of the gossips about us, and some of them were almost true. Like Aiba had some problems with his parents and he ran away from home and then I helped him or I`ve been in love with him since the first year of high school, we had been dating secretly and I had asked him to live with me.
But I heard some silly gossips too, like I raped him and now must take responsibility for that or Aiba is my little brother who was somehow lost when he was still a baby. When I asked him about it, he said he never talk about us with other people, except, of course, Jun, Nino, and Ohno.
Aiba always made something for my lunch now. I never ate in canteen anymore. He said it had been a long time since he had made lunch for someone. He always made sure I ate my breakfast, my lunch and my dinner in time. He even cooked for me, all the time. It isn’t like I`m complaining about that, his cooking tastes great, but I just wanted him to enjoy himself more, I have so many maids for that!
He always waited for me after the classes were over, and sometimes he would wait for me when I had to finish my job as well. Yeah, sometimes I needed to take care of my family’s company. I had to warn him to go to sleep first, when I knew I’d come home late. Like today, I had to finish my job and it was almost midnight when I arrived home. But he ran to the front door when he heard I was back. Usually my maid would open the door for me but this time he was the one who opened them.
“Sho-kun, okaeri~~” he smiled widely.
“Tadaima...” I smiled back. I had never said “tadaima” or “okaeri” before, because I never needed it. No one would have replied anyway...
“I thought I texted you to go and sleep first?” I asked. He nodded.
“But I couldn’t sleep...” he moved to make a way for me and smiled to my butler. When I walked in, my butler and my maids bowed and left us alone.
“You need a better reason, Aiba,” I laughed at him.
“It`s the best reason... I can’t sleep before I see you are home, Sho-kun,” he smiled again, I turned my head to hide my red cheeks.
“So... Have you had your dinner before coming back?” he asked. I shook my head.
“I thought I texted you to not forget about your dinner,” he said that mimicking the way I had talked earlier.
“But I can’t eat anything else except your cooking...” I replied using his spoiled tone.
“You`re bad at imitating me, Sho-kun...” he shook his head acting serious.
“I`ll get a mirror, you should see yourself,” I laughed again. He pouted.
“I won’t let you to eat my cooking then,” he warned me.
“Ohhh... But I can eat only your cooking... What if I die...?”
“Say you’re sorry then,” he ordered.
“I`m sorry... And I`m starving now...”
I knew it was mushy... But I enjoyed all conversations with him. It was like I could laugh all the time while being with him. We went to the kitchen and Aiba reheated what he had cooked earlier. I waited (and stared) at him. He placed all the food in front of me and sat down beside me.
“Itadakimasu,” I said. This word too... I had never really said it before he started living in my house.
“Ne, Sho-kun... I was wondering about something...”
“What is it?” I asked him while eating my dinner.
“Why have you never dated...? I have never heard you’d have gone out with a girl before...” he stared at me, full of curiously.
“Why would you ask me that?” I frowned.
“Like I said... I was just wondering about it...” he looked at me, waiting for an answer.
“Because I don’t want to,” I answered him. It was the truth, I didn’t want to date anyone except him.
“Ohhh... I thought you`re in love with me...” he smiled at me. I choked on my food and started coughing crazily. He stroked my back while talking panicked.
“I`m so sorry, Sho-kun! I was just kidding! Are you okay?” he asked. He gave me a glass of water and I drank it. I was scared like hell and he said he was just kidding?
“Are you okay...?” he asked me again, worry evident in his expression.
“I`m okay...” I said it softly.
“Gomen ne...”
“It`s okay, it`s okay...” I smiled at him.
“Are you finished?” he asked me and I nodded. He cleaned up my plates, and I waited for him again.
When he finished we went back to our room, I mean my room and his room... You know... I didnt want to use the term "our" in everything as it would only make me more nervous.
...It'll really make me nerve up.. He opened his door and turned around facing me.
“Oyasumi, Sho-kun...” he smiled.
“Oyasumi...” I replied and waited until he closed his door.
I came back to my room and wandered around for almost half of an hour. Then I did my routine...
I opened my door and closed it slowly. Then walked to Aiba`s room and opened his door slowly, trying my best not to wake him up. He never locked his room, maybe he simply felt that he didn’t have the rights to lock it. I walked closer to him and I never got bored of admiring his sleeping face. I kneeled down and caressed his hair. Then I moved closer and slowly kissed his forehead.
“Oyasumi, Masaki...” I whispered softly and stood up, ready to leave the room. I could have a nice dream tonight...
“Oyasumi, Sho-kun...” he replied. I turned my head immediately and saw him smiling at me. You`re done for, Sho...
