Juumonji, I don't know why, and I don't know what was going through his mind when he did it, but he just kissed me on the cheek. His lips were dry, warm and a bit chapped, but I think I can honestly say I enjoyed it far more than I should have. The only other person who's ever kissed me on the cheek before is Mamori-neesan, and my heart never started beating this fast afterwards.

But now that I think of it, there been some stuff going on between Juumonji and me, mere moments ago he said that I was cute, and not just when I'm all dolled up. It kind of makes me wish that Juumonji didn't run away so fast, an explanation would have been nice… Or he could have kissed me some more, either one was fine.

I guess I'll just have to wait until tomorrow to get an explanation out of him, and if he tries to avoid me during class and lunch, I can just try and get him alone after practice.

I sighed and looked down at the red skirt I was still wearing, my cheeks puffing out indignantly, the next time Hiruma decides I should wear a cheer leader's outfit, maybe I'll go and put and Ojou one on and start cheering for the White Knights…

Actually he might kill me for that, maybe I should just be happy that no one but my teammates saw me. At least I don't think anyone else saw me…

I changed out of the uniform as quickly as I could, feeling happier than usual to be wearing my loose uniform and walked home in a self induced daze as I wondered what it would be like if Juumonji kissed my lips.

As expected, Juumonji didn't seem to be up to talking before class started, and I was too far away to write him a note, but on the up side of things whenever I felt eyes on me during class I'd turn around and Juumonji's eyes would flick away and his cheeks would go pink.

I think Kuroki and Toganou noticed Juumonji's behavior too, because they were both nudging him and whispering to him and throwing glances at me.

So, this means Juumonji likes me, right?

Practice went a little bit later than usual today, and Hiruma was firing off a lot more shots than usual. Everyone's getting to be a lot more serious too, it's nice being part of a team.

When practice finished I dashed to the clubroom and changed quickly, waiting by the door as my teammates walked past me, bidding me a good night as I waved goodbye to them. And soon enough there was only four of us left in the clubhouse. I wasn't quite sure how I was supposed to separate the three of them without being awfully suspicious, but luck seemed to be on my side today because all I had to do was give a tug on Juumonji's sleeve before Toganou and Kuroki took off like bullets.

'Did they expect this to happen? Do they know what's going on?' I thought futilely before my attention was drawn back to Juumonji.

He looked kind of anxious, which, since it was such a rare emotion to see on his face, made him look adorable. He looked like this when we were on the plane to and from America, and of course, I was once again filled with the mother-hen like urge to hold him, although that would be kind awkward since Juumonji was so much taller then I was. So I guess I'd just have to move on in our nonexistent conversation.

"Ano, Juumonji-kun…" I mentally slapped myself for sounding so weak and shy. "Kazuki." I looked up at Juumonji curiously, quickly noticing the blush on his cheeks.

"You can call me Kazuki." I nodded, a blush heating up my face as I began speaking. "Kazuki-kun, about yesterday, I was just wondering…" Uh-oh, I think I've misplaced my confidence, shoot. I let my eyes drift around the clubhouse for a moment, building up my courage, and when my eyes finally met Juumonji's again I couldn't help but notice that he'd gone as red as our football uniforms.

"…I was just wondering… Did you mean anything with that kiss yesterday? Not that it needs to mean anything! I was just curious-" "I like you Sena!" He blushed and coughed, speaking again in a much softer tone. "I really, really like you."

Wow, ever since I came to Deimon High, my life's just been getting better and better.

"I like you too Kazuki." I practically whispered as I placed my hands on his shoulders and raised myself up on my toes, while Kazuki leaned down.

Our lips were hovering mere centimeters apart when we saw a flash and heard a click, but I'll be damned if I was going to let Hiruma ruin my first kiss!

Kazuki was already moving away, so I brought my hands to the back of his neck and pulled him down, sealing our lips together. Sure it not as romantic as I would have liked, but at least it's happening, and I even heard the door close, which means Hiruma is actually bothering to give us privacy.

And Kazuki's lips feel really nice again mine. I could die from lack of air right now, and I would die happy.

Kazuki was the first to pull away, a small smile painting his lips even as he said: "Well, I guess that's more blackmail material on me." I chuckled a bit and grabbed his arm, steering him towards the exit.

"Well, Hiruma-san is Hiruma-san. We'll probably just have to get used to never having any real privacy on school grounds." Kazuki opened the clubroom door and stepped outside with me in tow. "Privacy can be fairly easy to get, but if he takes any more pictures of us to use as blackmail, or to trade with weird fan-girls for favors, then I'll have to put my foot down." He said seriously and I gripped his arm tighter.

'Privacy is easy to get, huh?' I blushed and gazed up at Kazuki, a grin spreading across my lips. 'I just hope we're not underestimating Hiruma-san's radar.'

Fin.
