Hello everyone!^_^ Miso-chan here! Woah! I can't believe I made this fic over a year ago! O.O I decided to add another chapter because it had been requested by several people! Enjoy please!

(Awh, I have missed Spiral!)

It has been exactly one week~! Hiyono thought to herself, smiling cheerfully. I have been Narumi-san's girlfriend for a whole week now.

Taking a break from her research and computer work, Hiyono pulled a puppet out of her school bag which resembled her beloved Ayumu. She grinned at the puppet as she gently placed it on one of her hands.

"So, Hiyono-chan! What would you like to do for our one week celebration?" She changed her voice, waving the arms of the hand puppet.

"Why don't you make a romantic dinner just for the two of us?" She happily replied back.

She sat in her chair quietly for a few seconds.

"I'm such a big idiot! Who am I kidding?" She said with a heavy sigh, slumping back in her chair. Ever since he gave her that kiss a week ago, their relationship hadn't changed very much. Besides the occasional glances they exchanged from one another, Ayumu still treated her the way he always had. And although she was happy he had the same feelings toward her, she still was hoping for just a little development between them. Are we even an official couple? Hiyono questioned, feeling a little irritated.

"I wish…" Hiyono murmured softly. "I could kiss Narumi-san again…" She gazed at the puppet's face which seemed to just stare right back at her, unchanging. Exactly like Narumi-san. Unchanging. She

pouted.

But then again… Another thought had clicked into Hiyono's mind. Maybe I have to take the initiative this time. After all, I can't expect him to do everything in the relationship…

Hiyono squeezed her free hand into a fist. "Okay! I'm going to make the next move!" She announced with determination.

But….How exactly am I supposed to do that? She felt some of her determination drop.

Maybe I should start by calling him by his first name? Hiyono blushed. That's okay, isn't it?

Alright, I'm going to practice. She took a big gulp as she held the puppet up to her face. Softly, she pressed her lips on to the doll. "A…Ayumu-kun…"

"Are you seriously two-timing me with a puppet?" Ayumu's voice appeared from beside her.

Hiyono jumped up, standing from her chair. "Na-Na-Narumi-san?" She felt her face starting to burn up. Right next to her stood Ayumu, looking rather annoyed and amused at the same time. Why? Why does he always appear at the worst times?

"Oh, so the puppet gets to be called 'Ayumu-kun' while I'm just 'Narumi-san." Ayumu crossed his arms over his chest. "I see how it is."

Hiyono glared at him, still having a tint of pink on her cheeks. "It's not like I see you calling me by my first name!"

"Eh. That's because I always forget." Ayumu responded casually.

"Agh! You're horrible! Hiyono punch!" The puppet flew towards Ayumu's head, but before she could punch him, he caught hold of her hand.

"Didn't we already go through this?" Ayumu sighed tiredly. "Why do you still keep that thing?"

"I keep it with me for whenever I feel lonely!" Hiyono said proudly. "And at night I go to bed with it when I have trouble sleeping!"

"You… sleep with it?" Ayumu's eyes narrowed.

"Ah…" Hiyono stared at Ayumu innocently. "Narumi-san, are you saying that you want to sleep with me too?" Ayumu felt his shoulders tense up as his face turned a bright red.

"Don't be stupid." Ayumu let go of her puppet-covered fist, his face still feeling hot. "Who would want to sleep with you? You would probably keep me up all night anyway-"

Oh, god. That sounded wrong.

The couple blushed even harder. "Y…you probably snore really loud!" Ayumu added. "That's what I meant!"

The two took a few seconds to look away from each other so their faces could cool down.

"It seems to me like you're jealous, Narumi-san." Hiyono grinned.

He felt his eye twitch. "Of what? That piece of felt? What's there to be jealous over?"

"After all..." Ayumu suddenly grabbed Hiyono by the waist, pulling her close to him so that their bodies were touching. "You belong to me, remember?" He said as his mouth curled into a grin.

Hiyono then felt embarrassed and averted her eyes away from his. He's teasing me again. "No… I don't remember."

She felt his arms tighten around her as he leaned closer. "Do I have to remind you then?" He asked.

But before Ayumu could do anything, he found a puppet separating his lips from Hiyono's.

"Hold it." Hiyono said, looking more stern than usual. "Narumi-san… I want you to tell me… Are we really going out?"

Ayumu blinked. "What?"

"You're my… boyfriend, right?" She seemed to struggle on the word 'boyfriend.'

"Of course I am. What do you think?" Ayumu was back to being annoyed. She lowered the puppet from their faces.

"Well, it's just…" Hiyono fixed her eyes on the front of his blazer. "I guess it hasn't seemed like it to me these past few days."

She then lifted her head to look at Ayumu and smiled. "But… now that you confirmed that with me, I feel relieved about it."

Ayumu took a moment to stare at her before he let out a sigh. He rested his forehead against hers so that their faces were very close. "Geez… That's what you've been worried about?"

"Listen up." Ayumu pulled his face away, starting at Hiyono directly. "I'm yours. You got it?"

"Yeah." Hiyono giggled. She stood herself on the tips of her toes and planted a soft kiss on his lips. "My Narumi-san…"

"You know..." Ayumu smirked. "For a second, I thought I was being replaced with a hand puppet earlier."

"So you were jealous?" Hiyono's face lit up.

"Don't press your luck." He answered flatly as Hiyono pouted.

"Don't worry! I wouldn't replace you that easily." Hiyono grinned, wrapping her arms around him.

"Who's worrying?" Ayumu mumbled.

"Although this Narumi-san still probably makes a better bed buddy." She added, holding up the hand puppet.

Ayumu raised an eyebrow."Are you sure about that?"

Hiyono blushed hard and Hiyono-punched him on the head. "Don't press your luck!"

The End! I hope you enjoyed reading this and thank you so much! Reviews are appreciated and I hope you have a great day!
