(Hi, guys. I've decided to wrap this fic up by ending it with Laura. Reason why I'm not doing chapters with Tatenashi and Kanzashi is because I'm sticking with the classic five. Enjoy.)

In Ichika's room one morning at the academy, Ichika slowly woke up as the sun shined through his window.

"Oh, morning already?" he groaned, while rubbing his eyes.

He looked and saw at his side was something underneath his covers, "Oh, don't tell me." he opened the covers to see none other than his German admirer Laura Bodewig. She was asleep and wearing her black cat footsie pajamas courtesy of her friend and roommate Charlotte.

Laura awoke and rubbed her eyes, "Is it morning now?"

"Again, Laura?" Ichika asked in a dry tone.

Laura seeing Ichika awake smiled and giggled, "Good morning, Ichika. Meow!" she waved her right hand like a cats paw.

"What is this all about?"

"Brilliant assistant instructor's suggestion of how to wake one's significant other up." Laura explained with pride.

"I still say you should fire that instructor." Ichika replied in a dry tone. Ichika saw Laura crawled into his lap and purred, "What're you doing?"

"Can't you tell. I'm your little kitty cat sitting on your lap. Meow!" she continued to be cute.

Ichika watched Laura continue act like a cat at first feeling disturbed, but suddenly smiled seeing just how cute Lyra really was.

Deciding to play along he began patting Laura's head, "Good kitty." he said soothingly.

Laura smiled, as she enjoyed the pats, 'This feels so good, ja.' she thought.

Soon Ichika ceased the head pats, much to Laura's disappointment, as the boy spoke, "As much as I'd love to keep this up. I really need to get ready for the day."

"Right. I shall leave you to do that. But before I go I was wondering something." she began looking a bit sheepish.

"Yeah? What?"

"I was wondering if you'd like to join me for the day." she blushed.

"You mean a date?" Ichika inquired.

"Um, ja. If that is what you want to call it." Laura continued to feel flustered.

Ichika smiled, "Sure, I'd be ok with that."

"Really?" Laura gasped with hope.

"Yeah. Just give me fifteen minutes, ok?"

"Sure." Laura nodded, as she left Ichika's dorm room.

Fifteen minutes later, Laura was outside the school wearing the same outfit Charlotte helped pick out for her the day they went shopping together. A purple dress with black high heels.

"Hey!" came Ichika's voice.

Laura looked and saw Ichika coming over wearing sneakers, jeans, and a red shirt covered by a black vest.

"Sorry I kept you waiting." Ichika apologized.

"Oh, nein, you were just in time." Laura answered.

"Oh, that's good." Ichika said, as he could help but gaze at her.

"What are you staring at?" Laura asked getting embarrassed.

"Nothing. I just think you look cute in that outfit."

"I'm cute?" she asked.

"Of course. How could you not be?"

Laura looked away and muttered, "Foolish boy."

"What was that?" Ichika asked having not heard her.

"It was nothing. Well, come along." Laura took Ichika's hand and dragged him along.

"Ok. Easy. I can walk myself." Ichika protested while being dragged.

And so the two had walked to the mall, with Laura holding onto Ichika's hand. Every place they walked other people would look at them with smiles at how adorable they looked together, especially how Laura looked.

After Laura dragged Ichika around a few stores, hoping to learn more about what it takes to be viewed as a normal girl instead of a military fighter. She and Ichika finally stopped outside a cafe to have a drink.

As they each took a sip of their drinks, Ichika spoke, "Isn't this nice?"

"What is?" Laura inquired.

"You and me, just hanging out together."

"Oh?"

"I mean with all the training and studying we do at school, it's nice to just have a chance to relax." Ichika said, as he stretched his arms up.

Laura nodded, "I agree. And I'm glad I could spend such a day with you."

"Same here. You know it's hard to imagine so long ago you were not like this." Ichika said, as he eyed Laura.

"Like what?" Laura wondered.

"Well, when you first came to the academy you wanted nothing to do with anyone. And to top it off you slapped me in the face." he said with a scowl.

"And I apologize. It was biased and rude of me." Laura admitted.

"And the next time we met in class you kissed me in front of the entire class." Ichika added, as he recalled the event while enjoying it regardless of his surprise.

"Well, that is what one does with their bride, is it not?"

Ichika sighed, "I really wish you'd stop calling me that."

Laura ignored his request, and asked him a question, "Ichika? I was wondering that day when I declared I would make you my bride?"

"Yes..."

"Well, how did it feel? When your lips met my own?" Laura squinted her single eye.

Ichika was taken aback by Laura's question, and thought, 'What do I tell her? I mean this was my first kiss, and no doubt hers too. If I say it was bad I would just insult her. In fact I didn't hate it at all. So just tell her what I felt."

"Well, Ichika?" Laura crossed her arms looking impatient.

Ichika snapped out of his thoughts and saw Laura was waiting, "Well, Laura that kiss was absolutely the last thing I expected you to give me." he reminded her.

"Right." Laura replied sheepishly.

"But I truly did enjoy it."

Laura's happiness perked up, "You did?"

"Yeah. I mean that was the first time I was ever kissed."

"You mean I..."

"Yeah. You were my first kiss." he confessed.

Laura's visible eye lit up, and though, 'Yes! I succeeded where those others failed!'

While Laura was busy feeling good about herself, Ichika noticed her daydream expression, "Uh, Laura. You feeling ok, now?"

Laura realizing she was daydreaming snapped out of it, "Oh, ja. I am fine." she straightened herself out.

"Right." Ichika said knowing she like the others would be off in their own fantasy land.

"Uh, what you say we check out some more stores, ja?" Laura suggested.

"Sounds all right be me," Ichika confirmed, as they got up and he offered her his hand, "Shall we go?" Laura smiled, and nodded before taking Ichika's hand and they both walked off.

That night, as Ichika and Laura returned to the academy dorms the two stopped in front of Ichika's room, "You really didn't have to walk me to my room, Laura."

"But since you are my bride, I felt it was right to see you made it here safely." Laura explained.

Ichika rolled his eyes, feeling her words were demeaning him, before speaking, "Well, I'll see you tomorrow." before he could return to his room, Laura tugged at his shirt.

"Before you turn in, Ichika. There is something I want to do."

"Ok, what?"

"This." Laura activated her IS to make her taller than Ichika.

The boy was almost expecting her to want to fight, but found his collar gripped by her right arm and pulled into a passionate kiss like the first time.

Ichika was shocked at first, but suddenly enjoyed the sweetness of Laura's lips, while the girl herself was once again happy that she got give Ichika a kiss still putting her ahead of her fellow competition.

When they parted, Laura sat Ichika back on the floor before deactivating her IS. He looked at him and smiled, "Have a goodnight." she walked back to her own room.

Ichika stood outside his room petrified before feeling his lips. Eventually, he smiled and said to himself, "All right." he turned and went inside knowing he really did have good luck on his side.

(And there you go. I hope you enjoyed this fic, despite how short the chapters were. But now I've decided it's time to end it. I'll see you readers again soon.)
