Extra Chapter

-SatouxTakagi pairing-

"A Love Story of the Detectives in Metropolitan Police Department!"

Takagi Wataru had forgotten everything. As he lay on his futon, fast asleep, he had forgotten about his duties, his injured shoulder and the fact that he was going to have an early visitor. So that morning he just continued to snore on his bed without a care in the world.

Until the bell rang.

"Eh?" Takagi blinked with his mouth half open and then heard the bell ring again. Raising his had a little, he blinked at his alarm clock with sleepy eyes. It was only half past six. Wondering who on earth was on the other side of his door, Takagi slowly got up, yawned a little, scratched his shoulder which he noticed felt a little stiff and headed toward the door.

"…so early…" he mumbled as he swayed toward the door and scratched his head with his left hand. Yawning again, he opened it. Bright light greeted his eyes from the outside but this didn't stop his keen eyes to see the familiar outline of his girl friend. Takagi blinked as he found himself face to face with Miwako Satou.

"Ohaiyo, Takagi-kun!" she greeted him lightly. Takagi's eyes widened.

"EH? Satou-san!" he blurted out in shock, "W-what are you doing here?"

Satou blinked at him in turn, "Why do you sound so surprise? Didn't we have an agreement that I'll come here today?"

Takagi gaped at her, and then let out another surprised cry as he remembered, "AHHHH!"

Satou's eyes narrowed at him suspiciously. "Hm?"

"Geez, you're really unbelievable," she muttered moments later as she went in the living room of his apartment. "We only talked about that yesterday and you forgot?"

"Sorry, sorry," Takagi mumbled looking uncertain. He turned on one corner and looked at his casual clothes and then touch his messy hair "…man how can I forget? And to look like this of all times…"

Satou gave him one haughty look before looking around the room, "I wouldn't have mind, but it's like you forgot a date, Takagi-kun…"

"Ahh…t-that…" Takagi grimaced as he tried to remember what happened the night before that made him forget Satou-san was coming. It was all blurred, he decided. He remembered coming home last night, talking to the neighbor and then falling asleep.

Satou seemed to decide it wasn't much of a big deal as she rounded on his house looking amused.

"Heh… you're house is neat and tidy… as I was expecting…"

Takagi blinked at her as she turned to him with an innocent smile.

"Remember when we got inside Chiba's house because of a case? His house was a real pile of mess. I was basing my judgment from there!"

"Ahh…" Takagi looked away as he remembered Chiba's untidy house, "somehow I don't feel happy about that…"

"Why?" Satou stood in front of him looking enthusiastic, "neh, Takagi-kun, how's your shoulder?"

"Ah?" Takagi looked visibly reminded of his injury as he tried to move his injured side, "Not bad. I can try swinging it now and then. The physician said it'll be healed in no time."

"That's great, Inspector Megure did say you can take a rest."

"Yeah… but I need to pass my full report today so I was planning of reporting there anyway."

Satou nodded, "I know, you told me yesterday. Isn't that why I'm here this early? I'll help you prepare today then we'll head back to head quarters."

"Oh…" a flicker of understanding came on Takagi's eyes as he said this which made Satou gave him a narrowed look.

"You really forgot?"

Takagi grinned helplessly that made Satou sigh in exasperation.

"Anyways, Takagi-kun, I take it you haven't eaten your breakfast?" she raised her hand and showed him a bag she had been carrying around, "see? I brought this along."

Takagi stared at the bag, and then at his girlfriend. A smile of happiness broke on his face.

"S-Satou-san…"

"I ordered it from a sushi restaurant," she smiled looking sheepish, "well… I can't cook…"

Takagi's face glowed in happiness.

She's going to prepare my breakfast! Takagi's thoughts got the best of him, like a real wife!

"Hurry and fix yourself," Satou said as she rounded toward his kitchen, "I'll take care of the rest here."

Takagi watched as she headed on her way without looking back. Feeling that the god of luck was with him, Takagi followed her and peeked inside his kitchen. Satou was busily rummaging through his cabinets looking for plates and bowls.

If only she was really his wife…

Satou glanced at him.

"Huh? Takagi-kun, you're not yet taking a shower?"

"Ahh… I will," Takagi turned to her, "you sure you don't need help?"

"It's okay, go and take a shower," she stood facing him carrying two plates. She then blinked as her eyes fell on his injured shoulder, "Hm? Do you need help in removing your clothes?"

Takagi blinked. Then he panicked.

"N-No, no! I'm fine," Takagi blurted out looking flustered at her as he raised his good arm, "I can manage, don't worry!"

Satou frowned as she looked closely at him, their noses almost touching. Takagi blinked at her and gulped. He didn't move a muscle from where he was standing.

"Sure you don't need help?" she asked again, oblivious to whatever Takagi meant. On his part, Takagi nodded vigorously and had to jump out of the kitchen. He took a deep breath as he reached the bathroom door and sighed.

"…Satou-san's so bold," he muttered and closed the bathroom door behind him.

Moments later, Satou stepped backwards as she surveyed her job. Takagi was standing in front of her in his complete detective uniform with a flustered face. She had insisted on helping him dress his injured shoulder and fixed his neck tie that rendered him speechless.

"Now you look like a detective," she praised him with a smile.

"Why? What do I look like a while ago?" he asked as she went on the table and took her seat. Takagi sat opposite her and together they started eating.

"By the way," Satou started quietly as she picked out her sushi, "do you use floral bowls?"

"Floral bowls?" Takagi blinked at her, "no… I don't even own one."

"But I saw one in your cabinet? Are you sure it's not yours?"

"Eh?" Takagi looked thoughtful for a moment, and then a spark of recognition came to his eyes, "ahhh! That must be my neighbor's!"

Satou blinked in surprise.

"Neighbor?" she repeated as Takagi nodded.

"Yeah, my neighbor's very kind. She'd always bring me some of her extra food, see? She says it's cause I'm a detective and couldn't look after myself or something like that… anyways, since she keeps on insisting she always makes too many, she decided to just give them to me."

Takagi chomped on his chopstick and then looked up at his girlfriend who was looking at him thoughtfully.

"What is it?" he asked, blinking.

"Well…" Satou started, "is she a young woman?"

"Yeah," Takagi felt a jolt on his spine as he said this. Looking up, he saw Satou giving him a suspicious look, "N-no! It's not like what you think!" he blurted out, "She has a boyfriend—it's not like that!"

"Heh…." Satou continued looking at him suspiciously.

As the clock hit half past eight, the two officers were already on their way out of the apartment. Just as Takagi finished putting his shoes on, the two were surprised by the doorbell ringing.

"Eh?" Takagi blinked as he opened the door, "who…?"

A young woman with a long black hair appeared before his eyes.

"Takagi-san!" she called with a smile, "good morning!"

Takagi blinked, "Ah… Koniji-san…"

"Takagi-kun, who's that?" Satou emerged behind Takagi and the two young female faced each other. Takagi blinked at the held silence where the two women just looked at each other.

"Satou-san," he started, gesturing a hand at the other girl, "this is Koniji-san, she's living next door. Koniji-san, this is Satou-san, my senior officer."

Satou blinked, and then nodded, "Ahh… nice to meet you."

Koniji took her time as she eyed Satou, and then nodded too.

"Ahh… hello…"

Takagi frowned at the two and then turned to his neighbor, "Can I help you with anything, Koniji-san?"

Koniji looked uncertain for a moment, and then smiled forcefully, "Ahh, yeah… I just thought—I mean, I left my bowl here last night… so maybe…"

"The flowery bowl?" Takagi remembered, "hang on a sec."

He disappeared toward his kitchen and returned moments later to find the women where he left them. He gave her the bowl with a smile.

"Thanks,"

Koniji took it with a smile, "You're welcome. By the way—how's your shoulder?"

"It's fine, it's not hurting anymore,"

"That's good. Then I'll see you around, Takagi-san,"

Takagi watched as Koniji walked away toward the next door and then turned to Satou. It was to his surprise to see her walking away already.

"Huh? Satou-san!"

He locked his door and ran after her. In his haste, he nearly slipped, but escaped a fall. Satou has already descended down the stairs with Takagi right behind her.

When he finally caught after her, she was already behind the wheels of her car. Takagi peered at her looking troubled.

"Satou-san?"

"Takagi-kun, get in," she just said and nothing more. The male officer blinked and then opened the car door and slipped next to her. He looked at her sideways but Satou was already busy on steering the wheel.

"Satou-san?" Takagi called timidly from his corner, "are you mad?"

"Why?" Satou answered half heartedly, "do I look that way?"

She swerve the wheel forcefully that nearly knocked Takagi off his seat. With a sweat drop at the side of his face, he adjusted himself and sighed. It was not how he wanted his day to be—not after their sweetness that morning! Wondering what on earth got his girlfriend mad, Takagi tried to remember everything. That was when a light bulb flickered on in his head.

"Ehh…" he mumbled, blinking, "Satou-san? Are you mad because of Koniji-san?"

Satou glared at him and then sighed.

"I'm not mad at you," she said clearly as she drove on. Takagi watched her in wonder.

Takagi was able to make a peace with Satou by the time they reached the head quarters. He then went on his way to pass the report to Inspector Megure and put the documents on the file room. Just as he went out, he couldn't help but notice certain evil eyes looking at him. Feeling the same nervousness, he wasn't surprise to see some male officers gloating on his way.

"…haha…" he smiled forcefully, "…it's still the same huh?"

But then, amidst the menacing glare came a gentle one. Takagi blinked as he saw two female officers walk pass him, looked at him secretly and whispered to each other before they smiled shyly.

Takagi followed them with his eyes and blinked.

"Eh?"

He would have disregarded such event, but it was different when moments later as he stood near the vending machines, one female officer came up behind him and attracted his attention.

"Officer Takagi!"

Takagi jumped in surprise and then looked behind him. He saw a small lady officer with bright eyes looking at him with a smiling face.

"Ahh… yes?" he mumbled, surprised at the sudden acquaintance, "can I help you?"

"My name's Ichinose Tarumi," she said out loud, "I work in the Traffic Department! It's nice to meet you!"

The girl bowed as Takagi watched her with an open mouth, but before he could say anything, the little officer raced away with an embarrassed face.

Takagi watched her as she joined three more female officers who whispered among themselves excitedly.

"Haa?" he could only mumble. That was when another lady officer came up behind him.

"Takagi-kun!" Takagi jumped in surprise and saw Yumi-san winking at him.

"Yumi-san…" he breathed in relief. Yumi gave him one look before she snickered meaningfully.

"Ohh? Looking excited, aren't we, Takagi-kun?"

"Huh?"

"Here, here," Yumi passed on two white envelopes on Takagi's hand. The male officer blinked at it and then turned it around. His eyes rounded.

"EHH?" he exclaimed, "t-these!?"

"Yoho~" Yumi nodded avidly, "love letters, neh? Aren't you popular, Takagi-kun?"

"B-but…" Takagi stammered as he looked at the letters and then to the female officers whispering together, "W-what?!"

He shot a helpless and confused look at Yumi who was still smiling in front of him.

"You still don't get it?" she said, "you're pretty popular nowadays you know! Especially with the Traffic Department!"

Takagi reddened and then tried to turn his back on the other female officers behind him.

"I don't understand!" he said sounding urgent, "why all of a sudden?"

"Why do you doubt yourself, Takagi-kun? Didn't you know you were the talk of our department for the last couple of days? Not to mention what your heroism (she taps his injured shoulder) has reached all ears around! So it's no wonder our officers are going gaga over you!"

Takagi took his time to absorb all the information and then turned red again. He looked down at the letters on his hand and then at the female officers behind him. His head seemed to squirm.

"N-no! That can't be!" Takagi grabbed Yumi's shoulder frantically, "I can't be taking this attention! Don't they know I'm with Satou-san!?"

"Of course they do,"

"Then why are they still—?"

Yumi laughed and pat Takagi's uninjured shoulder, "It doesn't matter to them. They're just expressing admiration, Takagi-kun! Don't be all flustered. Besides, Miwako's not the jealous type! I'm sure she wouldn't mind! Oh yeah—I've delivered a box of letters on your table. Surely you wouldn't mind."

"EHH?"

Takagi's mouth opened as he remembered Satou's reaction this morning. He was already on her wrong side and with the events folding, Takagi wasn't sure where he will find himself next. With a nervous jolt on his mind, Takagi stared at the love letters on his hands looking troubled.

"Yumi-san!" he called as he turned, "J-just don't tell Satou-san about this!"

"Hai~!" Yumi saluted as Takagi ran away in a hurry. She then laughed to herself and turned to the other female officers, "Hello, girls! Isn't Takagi-kun just awesome!?"

Takagi hurried toward the first division office with one thing on mind. Before anything else he needs to find the box. He hoped Satou or any other officers has found it before him. He couldn't take any more evil wishes from his co-officers. If they found out ladies from the traffic department were all sending their admirations—which he was humbled but not at all pleased—he just knew they'd find another reason to gang up on him.

He turned the last corner from his department, narrowly missing other officers coming out of the room. Finally, with the last step and breath, Takagi reached his division.

His eyes sought the box on his table. It was then that he saw Satou's back standing just in front of his table where the box was on. She was looking on something in her hands Takagi recognized as envelopes.

"A-ahhh!" he exclaimed as he charged into the room clumsily, "S-Satou-san!"

Satou slowly looked at him and blinked.

"Hm? Takagi-kun?"

Takagi bit his lip and put his good hand at the back of his head looking awkward.

"Um.. ano…" he started uncertainly, "t-those letters…"

Satou blinked and then looked at the envelopes on her hands.

"Oh," she started and looked up at him, "sorry, I was just curious about these and picked them up."

"Ah…" Takagi raised his left hand in defence, "I—I don't know anything about those! Really!"

Satou blinked and then put the envelopes back on the box looking placid.

"Of course," she said as she looked back at him, "these are envelops from, let me guess? Those rookies from the Traffic Department, right? They've been pestering me since I arrive asking to congratulate you or something. When I asked them what it was about they kept on praising your job with your last case. They can't seem to get over the story."

Takagi blinked as Satou smiled brightly.

"Eh… y-you're not angry?"

"Not at all," she said truthfully, "I think you deserve the attention from the rookies, don't you think? They were all awestruck."

Takagi blushed and scratched the back of his head looking pleased. It turned out Satou-san wasn't the jealous type after all. Just then, Yumi came bouncing in with two more letters at hand.

"Takagi~kun~!" she called as she presented two more white envelopes, "letters for you~!"

Takagi reluctantly took the envelopes while the two best friends looked at each other.

"My, Miwako," she started with a grin, "look, look! Takagi's getting all the attention!"

Satou gave her friend a look as she returned to her table, "Well… isn't it normal for him to receive that? After all rookies are easily impressed."

Yumi blinked at her best friend.

"Eh?"

Satou rummage through her drawer while Yumi stood there rooted on the spot.

"Wait a second, Miwako," she started again as she leaned on the table looking desperate, "your boyfriend is surrounded by girls and that's the attitude you are giving?"

"Hm? They just want to praise him right? Is there something wrong with that?"

Yumi made a face and then sighed.

"Oh, you…"

Yumi was still sighing when the two of them went to the vending machine for some drinks.

"Why are you sulking?" Satou asked as she pushed some coins in the machine and pressed some buttons, "what's up with you?"

Yumi mumbled to herself and then sighed again, "Fine. I'll admit it. I set the traffic department to express themselves freely to Takagi-kun since you're not the sort of person who'll mind."

Satou, who had been in the middle of drinking, nearly choked and shot her friend a surprised look.

"You did that?" she said with a raised eyebrow.

"Hai…" Yumi grinned apologetically, "anyway… since Takagi-kun is really popular among the rookies…"

"Why would you do that?" Satou turned and put both hands on her hips looking severely at her friend. Yumi put both hands together as a sign of apology.

"Sorry, I was just teasing you," she said, "its cause you never really admit if you're jealous or not."

Satou raised both eyebrows and then reached a hand and pinched her friend's cheeks.

"Childish," she muttered with twitching eyebrows.

"Oww..ow… I said sorry…" Yumi massaged her cheek, "It's just funny how you were so worked up against Asatsuhi-san haha… I wonder what the difference between that and now…"

"You're so silly," Satou threw her friend a suspicious look, "I wouldn't mind Takagi-kun getting all the attention if he deserves it… besides, I don't have any reason to be jealous about him already. He's my boyfriend, isn't he?"

"Hai, hai," Yumi muttered looking away, "alright, you win… and speak of the devil…"

Satou looked over her shoulder and saw Takagi walking along the lobby toward them. She then saw one female officer greeted him and the two spoke for awhile. Yumi glanced at her friend sneakily but was disappointed to just see her watch Takagi-kun without much reaction.

And then Takagi was on his way toward them again—but this time, three young female officers hold him up and he became all flustered.

"Yumi," Satou's voice caught the attention of her friend. Yumi glanced at her just enough to see her frowning, "isn't it about time to tell your department to lay off?"

"Huh?" Yumi blinked, "Miwako… are you—?"

Satou glanced at her seriously, "If those rookies kept coming at him from all direction, who knows when he'll be surprised? An accident may happen. You know Takagi-kun tends to get all clumsy if he's surprised. And not to mention he's already got an injured shoulder. I think it's time for the rookies to lay off."

Yumi couldn't counter anything to that, not even as something as a joke.

"R-right!"

Takagi walked up to them after a few seconds looking tired.

"Are you alright?" Satou asked as she looked at him, "you look exhausted."

"N-not really," Takagi smiled half heartedly as he looked at her, "Satou-san, I'm going home. I've already reported to Inspector Megure and passed the documents to the file department."

"You're going home?" Satou sounded surprise. Yumi noticed the tone of her voice and just had to look at her again.

"Yeah," Takagi nodded with a forced smile, "I don't think I can stay here… the way things are…"

He sighed and then bid the ladies a goodbye before setting off. Satou watched him go with an uncomfortable crease on her eyebrow. Yumi saw it.

"Miwako?"

"Hehhh?" the lady traffic enforcer exclaimed minutes later as she and Satou stood on near the window of the head quarters just between the vending machines, "Takagi-kun's neighbor seems to like him?"

Satou nodded quietly as she tried to recall what she saw that morning.

"Yeah… she's even giving him her extra food or something…"

Yumi made a face. "Is Takagi-kun a dog or what?"

"I don't think that's true though," Satou looked Yumi in the eye looking solemn, "When I saw her this morning she was carrying a bag… by the way it was steaming it seemed like it was newly cooked… if I wasn't there I think she may have invited herself in… I don't think she was cooking extra dishes for him… I think they might actually be for him."

Yumi blinked in disbelief as she stared at her best friend.

"Miwako…" she whispered, utterly defeated at her friend's sudden change of mood. This was what she was actually aiming for… but then, it turned out Miwako was not jealous for nothing.

Satou sighed, "And that idiot didn't even tell her I am his girlfriend."

Yumi smiled a little. Satou was still frowning.

"Cling to him." Yumi said after a moment of silence.

"Huh?" Satou stared at her.

"Cling to Takagi-kun," Yumi winked with a superb smile on her lips, "If something is important to you keep it close! Therefore cling to him!"

Satou blinked at Yumi as she straightened a little. Yumi put both hands on her waist looking triumphant.

"The only way women expresses their relationship to men is to cling to them closely! Don't you observe that with couples? Don't you do that when you're on a stakeout and you're pretending to be a couple?"

"Well… we hold hands…"

"That's not natural enough! You should cling to the boy! This is the best way you can show affection in public! Cling to Takagi-kun! I'm sure that will send the message well enough to his neighbor!"

Satou blinked again.

"I-is that enough?"

"Of course," Yumi nodded happily, "if anything doesn't work then this sure will. And oh—if it still not enough, why don't you just kiss Takagi-kun in front of her?"

Satou's fingers were again, on Yumi's both cheeks and pinching her.

"You're way over your head," she muttered with eyebrows twitching.

"Hai Hai~"

Takagi was sitting inside his living room and focusing on his injured shoulder when he heard somebody rang his bell. Looking up in surprise, the officer stood up and went over to answer the door.

He found himself face to face with his neighbor.

"Ah?" he muttered, "Koniji-san?"

Koniji smiled brightly and raised a plastic container on her hands.

"Takagi-san, I have extra dish again and thought it might be convenient to give you some again."

Takagi blinked, and then he broke into a smile.

"Whoa… thanks!"

The two headed for the kitchen where Takagi provided a plate toward Koniji who was helping him replace the content of her container.

"You look so tired last night," Koniji was saying as she quietly put the dish on his plate, "I thought you were gonna catch a cold because of your injured shoulder."

"Really?" Takagi laughed a little with a sweat drop at the side of his face. He actually couldn't remember what happened last night, "I—I see…"

"I think you were sick, really," Koniji went on as she looked him in the eye, "that's why I told you to rest early… I was so concerned."

Takagi blinked at the intensity of the gaze she was giving him and couldn't help feeling uncomfortable. When she finished putting the dish, she took it up and the two headed toward the living room.

"I'm really glad you could stay in your apartment longer," she told him boldly when she stood in front of him, "I mean—you're always out on your work! I know it meant a lot to you but—I mean, seeing your house lit up early is something."

"Ahaaaa…" was all Takagi could say with an embarrassed smile, "It's cause of my injury…"

"Oh," Koniji blinked at herself, "I didn't mean I'm happy that you're hurt!"

"I—I never thought of it like that!" Takagi was so nervous he thought his heart would just stop thumping. He never realized how uncomfortable it was to talk to her. Maybe he noticed it when Satou deliberately ignored him in the car that morning, "Anyways, I really thank you for the dish… you're saving me a lot of trouble for dinner…"

Koniji blushed which made Takagi froze. Just then, his phone started ringing which gave him enough time to jump away from the sudden uncomfortable feeling he was having.

"H-hello?" he answered with a sweat drop at the side of his face. Then his eyes rounded, "Eh? Satou-san? You're outside now?"

Takagi didn't hesitate as he dashed out of the room on to the door. He opened it and saw Satou outside with a light smile on her face.

"Takagi-kun," she waved a hand. Takagi looked relieved, but just then, Koniji peered from way over his shoulder toward Satou who also looked at her.

The two women blinked at each other. Takagi turned behind him and was visibly reminded of his neighbor's presence.

"Ahh…" he gasped feeling cold as he stood straight and pointed from one woman to another, "S-Satou-san, she was just here to give me some extra cooked dish…s-she… Koniji-san, that is…"

Koniji gave Satou a small smile and Satou returned it with a natural one. Then she reached a hand toward Takagi, and before he knew it, she was already clinging on his arm lovingly.

"Is that so?" she dug her fingers on his arm, making Takagi stood straight again, "aren't you lucky? You're really very thoughtful, Koniji-san. You've been very nice to my boyfriend."

She gave him a dark look and he was condemned not to agree.

"Y-yeah," he smiled at his neighbor, "she's really very nice…"

Satou turned to Koniji who's been watching the two of them and then gave her a small smile, "I'll probably return the favor soon enough, Koniji-san. Thank you very much."

She tightened her grip on Takagi's uninjured arm which made him glance at her with a very red face. Koniji stared at the two, and then at their linked arms before breaking into her own uncomfortable smile.

"N-no, it's okay… it's on me… I guess I'll go…"

And she hurried out of the room and closed the door after her.

This left the two staring at the doorway with arms still linked. Then Satou looked up at Takagi and smiled at his flustered face.

"Still so nervous? I didn't know you always have a late visitor."

"I told you," Takagi grinned half heartedly, "she's always bringing food…"

"Heh… but you didn't tell her I was your girlfriend."

"Eh?" Takagi shot her a look, "N-no! I just thought it's something personal so…"

Satou eyed him, then continued teasing him.

"Aren't you so lucky and so popular with the girls, eh?"

Not as popular as you… Takagi just smiled nervously.

"Uh… Satou-san? Our arms…"

The two looked down their locked arms. Satou looked up at him again with round eyes.

"Do you mind?" she asked that made Takagi look at her, startled.

"N-no…" he answered with much honesty and to his great surprise, Satou pulled his arm closer.

"Let's go outside!"

The sun has already set and nightfall has already caught up with the two by the time they found themselves strolling on the park. The atmosphere was serene and though it may be a bit cold, Satou was comfortably snug beside her boyfriend with their arms linked. It would seem like she found a favourite spot to cling on.

Takagi was in no place to complain but walked beside her with his face blushing.

"Is your arm okay?" Satou asked after a moment as they walked into the night. Takagi nodded vigorously.

"I don't mind you clinging," he admitted, furiously blushing, "It's the first time."

"Heh?" Satou looked at him teasingly, "I was talking about your injured side."

Takagi blinked at her as she tinkled a laugh.

"You know I never thought it'll be fun clinging on you like this," she admitted after awhile, "I just never thought of the reason why women do it anyway… now I kinda understand."

Takagi peered at her face a little and saw that she was smiling. It made him smile too.

"Well… there are plenty of things to learn… and plenty of time, so let's not rush…" he said quietly as he looked away. Satou was beside herself as she looked up at him in amusement. She then pulled him closer and squeezed his arms.

"I like your arm!"

"W-what? Only my arm?"

"Hey, Takagi-kun?"

Takagi glanced down at her but then nearly lost everything in his mind as the next thing—Satou's face became so close he thought he felt her lips press to his.

Only, they did really kiss.

~Complete~

"It'll work out if it's those two!"
