Eizan, Mio, Ome and Ren are currently sitting in a small ice cream shop eating. Mio and Eizan were currently staring at Ren and Ome in disbelief. Ome was feeding Ren a spoonful of ice cream from his sundae. Ren’s face was completely red as she accepted it. Eizan and Mio were looking at the normally confident girl, who had now turned completely shy when faced with Ome’s advances. Mio leaned in and whispered in Eizan’s ear. “It’s like they did a role reversal.” Eizan nodded without taking his eyes off the flirting couple in front of them.

Eizan chuckled. “You two seem to be getting along well.”

Ome turned and looked at his best friend that he had completely forgotten about. “Uh… yeah I would say were getting along well.”

Mio stared at her friend whose face was completely flushed and laughed. Mio smiled mischievously. “Ren you’re being so passive I’m surprised.”

Ren glared at her hatefully. “I am not.” She looked down at her desert in front of her. “He just catches me off guard that’s all.”

Ome looked at her with a confused face. “Am I doing something wrong?”

Ren shook her head. “No, you’re doing everything right.”

Ome smiled. “Good.”

Eizan burst out laughed. Several people turned their head and sneered at him. Eizan didn’t care. “You two are funny. So, what’s next on the agenda?” Ome and Ren looked at him and both shrugged. Eizan sighed. “I figured you didn’t have a plan.” Eizan reached into his pocket and retrieved his wallet. He pulled out for tickets and laid them on the table. “How about we go to the aquarium. My uncle had extra tickets and gave them to me.” He acted like in was a coincidence that he had gotten the tickets as to not make Ome look bad. He already knew his friend who invited them out wouldn’t have anything planned. So, he decided to take everyone to the aquarium for fun.

Mio looked at the tickets and smiled. “It’s been years since I’ve been to an aquarium.” Eizan already told her this morning that he doubted Ome had made any concrete plans. He said he would take care of it when the time came and requested that she just go along with it. Eizan hadn’t told her where they would be going. He said it would be a surprise.

Ren and Ome looked at each other and nodded. Ren replied “It sounds good to us.”

Eizan laughed. “Telepathic communication already.” Eizan looked at Mio. “Nod at me lets see if it works.” Mio giggled and they both nodded at each other. Eizan let out an overly dramatic gasp and held a hand over his mouth. “You have such naughty thoughts.” Mio punched him and puffed out her cheeks. Ren and Ome both had frowns on their faces and were not amused at Eizan’s teasing.

Ome sneered at Eizan. “I think we changed our mind about the aquarium.” Ren nodded.

Eizan stuck out his bottom lip and acted hurt. “Oh, come on I was only teasing. You two acting all lovey in front of us it’s hard not to tease. I’ll stop for now let’s go have some fun.”

Ome looked at Ren. “Should we go?”

Ren sighed. “Sure.”

Mio tapped Eizan on the nose. “You be good.”

Eizan laughed and started panting like a dog. “Only if you give me a treat later.”

Mio smiled. “Ok. But be good or no treat for you.”

Ome and Ren both had disgusted looks on their faces. Ren frowned. “You two act like were the one flirting.”

Mio and Eizan laughed.

While the four of them were enjoying their desert in the ice cream shop there were three young men standing across the street. Towa was standing in the middle of them. His hair that was once black as coal was now completely blonde. His father was angry as hell but he just ignored his nagging. He was dressed like a complete delinquent, matching his two counter parts standing next to him. Towa was looking around scanning the people around them. He mumbled to himself. “It doesn’t look like his protector is around.” His two companions didn’t hear his mumbling and only saw the sneer on his face.

Eizan’s normal body guard had taken the day off to do something for Carter and wasn’t currently following him. There were a few people following Eizan like normal but none of them knew who Towa was. They probably wouldn’t have recognized him even if they did. Towa looked at his two companions. “We will wait until later. Call the rest of the guys and tell them to meet us.” He looked at the guy next to him. “Marco, you wait here and follow them. Call me when they head to their next destination.”

Marco nodded. “Will do boss.”

Towa smiled. He really liked it when his new subordinates called him boss. Over the last two weeks he had started gathering delinquents and even took over a rival group. He used his father’s money and violence to get his way. His new gang was rising slowly and he was proud of himself. He had gotten himself fifteen followers and was feeling cocky. He glared at the group of happy teenagers from across the street. “I will make you regret the day you messed with me.”

About twenty minutes later the four of them left the ice cream shop and headed down the street. Mio and Ren were holding hands walking a few meters ahead of Eizan and Ome who were chatting behind them. Mio looked at Ren. “Are you having trouble dealing with Ome since you two became a couple?”

Ren sighed. “It’s like transformed overnight. He used to be so passive. After we started dating, he has been showering me with affection, it’s a little overwhelming. He’s too good at it. He makes my heart race constantly. He just became so handsome and smooth overnight. Did you have this problem too?”

Mio giggled. “Yeah, a little. I remember a confident friend of mine helping me out though. She told me to have confidence in myself and get over it.”

Ren looked at her with a confused look. “Who helped you?”

Mio smiled at her not normally forgetful friend. “Oh, you might know her she is considered to be the most beautiful girl in school.”

Ren paused and opened her eyes wide. “Wait, that’s the advice I gave you.”

Mio laughed. “Yup.” Mio smiled mischievously at her friend. “If you want, I can give you some advice that will give you the advantage back.”

“Really, what can I do.” Mio smiled and whispered to Ren. Ren’s eyes widened. “I can’t do that.”

Mio giggled at her naïve friend. “Why not? He is your boyfriend.” Mio looked back at the two boys behind her. She looked back at her friend with an evil grin. “Just watch. Even though Eizan’s reaction won’t be as strong as Ome’s it will still be affective.”

Ren’s eyes narrowed. “Why won’t it be affective on him.”

Mio scratched her cheek and blushed. “Let’s just say, I’m already living in the big bad wolf’s house.”

Ren looked confused. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

Mio giggled. “Don’t worry about it.” Mio left her slightly confused friend and ran up to Eizan. She grabbed his arm and press her rather large mounds against it. Eizan shuddered for a second and looked down at the cute girl who was giving him a sweet smile. “Can we get souvenirs at the aquarium. I think matching shirts would be fun.”

Eizan looked down at her and nodded. He was currently trying to contain his bad thoughts. He was smart so he knew exactly what she was doing to him. But he still found her charms extremely hard to resist. He thought to himself. “I’ll get you back for this later when were alone.” Mio felt a shiver down her spine but chose to ignore it. Eizan stuttered. “S-sure. Whatever you want.”

Mio kissed him on the cheek and smiled. “Thank you.” She let go of his arm and skipped her way happily up to her friend who was still walking ahead of them looking astonished. “See, works every time.”

Ren mouth was hanging open. “Where did my shy friend go?”

Mio giggled. “I’m still shy just not around him.”

Ome looked at Eizan. “What was that about?”

Eizan laughed. “She was teasing me. I’m not the one who she be worried though.” Eizan could tell the two girls were up to something and from Mio’s actions he had pretty much inferred what they were up too.

Ome looked at him with a weird look on his face. “What does that mean?”

Eizan chuckled and patted Ome on the shoulder. “Women can be both angels and devils just remember that. It will help you later.”

Ome still gave him a strange look. “Ok.”
