Kyouko was sitting in the club room feeling extremely happy. No, that wasn't quite right. There was definitely an unmistakable sense of happiness, but there was another feeling she couldn't name. A kind of longing. She thought maybe it was pride, as she realized that she wanted to tell everyone she was now dating Ayano. She wanted to stand up right in front of her three club members this instance and declare that Ayano Sugiura belonged to her.

Unfortunately, Ayano had banned Kyouko from doing exactly this. She had said that since she was the student council president she had to be a role model for other students, or something like that; Kyouko had been too busy guessing the colour of her panties to hear the exact details.

Thus, left Kyouko sitting with her three friends, stuck with this indescribable feeling which felt about ready to burst out of her chest.

Kyouko looked around the room. It was a normal day, quiet, relaxed. No one was doing very much as usual. Although Chinatsu had noticed that Kyouko had started to leave her alone and took this opportunity to sit closer to Yui. Yui took notice of this, but did not mind.

Out of everyone Kyouko and Ayano knew, Akari was the only one who knew about their relationship. She had been very supportive to Kyouko and upon thinking this, Kyouko realized that Ayano didn't even know that Akari knew. "Oopsies! ^.^"

The confidentiality wasn't the only struggle of dating the student council president though. Ayano was extremely busy with all of her council work, more so than Kyouko had imagined. Kyouko didn't get to spend nearly as much time with her love as she wished. They were both grateful for all of the classes they shared together, but it wasn't enough.

Acting upon this, Kyouko looked up at the clock. She noticed it was starting to get late and told her friends she was going home. Pretending to leave, Kyouko grabbed her stuff and headed outside. Instead of taking the road to go home though, she found a corner outside of the entrance to the school where she wouldn't be spotted easily and get in trouble for loitering. She made herself comfy then phoned home, telling her parents she would be out late tonight.

There were two people she wasn't eager to boast to about her first girlfriend: her parents. Kyouko would feel comfortable telling her friends since she and Chinatsu didn't even try to hide the fact that they were lesbians, but it would feel awkward letting her parents know. She wondered what they would think.

Kyouko spent a long time waiting. She saw a few first years in the student council leave. Then she saw Chitose leave and shortly after that Himawari and Sakurako who were hand in hand. Kyouko didn't know the details, but assumed correctly that they were dating.

Those two were the last ones left other than Ayano. Kyouko waited a while longer. Finally the doors swung open and out walked Ayano. Kyouko stood up quickly and noticed that the sun was starting to go down.

She waited a few seconds for Ayano to walk ahead, then snuck-up behind her and covered her eyes, wrapping her other arm around Ayano's arms and stomach.

Much to Kyouko's prediction, she gave out a short yelp and started to struggle. Kyouko moved her arm from Ayano's stomach down to her leg and began slowly sliding it up. Taking this chance, Ayano spun around and shoved Kyouko as hard as she could, sending her to the ground.

Ayano, regaining her vision, saw Kyouko sprawled on the ground and yelled "What do you think you were doing? You seriously scared me!"

"Aww, next time be a good girl and let me rape you"

"What? NO!" yelled Ayano blushing. "Anyways sorry for pushing you" she said holding out a hand.

"It's okay, I asked for it"

"Yeah, you did. What are you doing here anyways?"

"I was waiting for you. I missed you!" cried Kyouko, clinging to Ayano.

Ayano, still blushing, felt a massive wave of joy and love wash over her from hearing these words. "I miss you too" she grumbled under breath.

"What was that?" Kyouko asked.

"Nothing!" Ayano answered. Even though they were dating now, Ayano still found it hard to express her feelings.

"So when can we find some quality time?" asked Kyouko, now embracing Ayano's arm.

"I don't know. The Christmas dance is coming up soon and I'll be busy with that"

"Boo" said Kyouko, feeling disappointed.

The two girls kept walking together. They came to the point where they should split ways and Ayano stopped for a second, but Kyouko kept walking towards Ayano's house, still holding her arm.

"Where are you going?" asked Ayano.

"The walk was too short. Come on, let's talk for a little longer."

Ayano decided to go with the flow and kept walking. The girls talked pointlessly. They hadn't been dating for very long, (a few weeks at the most) but they had gotten past the awkward stage and talking felt natural.

Suddenly Kyouko stopped, making Ayano turn to face her.

"What's the matter?"

"We're getting close to your house. Let's go spend more time together." said Kyouko frowning.

"I can't. My parents are expecting me to be home for dinner"

"Boo"

"I need to go before my dad gets angry"

"I won't let you!" declared Kyouko, changing her grip on Ayano's arm to a more aggressive one.

Trying to think of a solution to her predicament, Ayano thought back to an overnight stay at the school she had a year ago with Kyouko.

Blushing furiously, Ayano closed her eyes and leaned forward to find a soft sensation meet her lips. Ayano felt Kyouko's grasp shift yet again, this time wrapping her arms around Ayano's waist and tightly squeezing her into her own body. Ayano, who was worried about her lack of experience at first, relaxed and felt herself melt in to the embrace. One of Kyouko's hands slid up and rested on the back of Ayano's head as their kiss grew more passionate. To her surprise, Ayano let out a loud moan, which Kyouko took as a compliment.

Their kiss seemed to last forever, but when they parted it felt too short.

"That was just a reward for loving me so much" said Ayano, face completely red and avoiding eye contact.

Kyouko giggled, staring at Ayano intently. Her posture softened and she chimed "I wouldn't mind getting rewards more often"

"Don't get too greedy now" mumbled Ayano, still looking away. Realizing what she was doing, Ayano broke away and started running towards her house.

Startled, Kyouko shouted "No fair!"

"Sorry, I'll see you tomorrow! We can try and make plans later!" Ayano yelled back.

"I love you!" hollered Kyouko, waving farewell.

Ayano stopped. Back still turned to Kyouko, Ayano looked at her feet, shut her eyes and yelled back "I love you too!" With her face red again for what seemed like the hundredth time today, she picked her pace back up, trying to run towards tomorrow.
