Semi invites me to his dorm the next night for a 'movie'.

I have to slap my face multiple times to get rid of my indecent thoughts; even Hichimiya notices me flailing around while I tried to find my smartphone. 

"Movie, eh?" She wiggles her eyebrows in a suggestive way, making me push her forehead a little. She stumbles backwards on the bed, letting out a yelp before getting up again.

"I still hate him for hurting you twice in a row," She has to say, "But I see he's doing turtle-like attempts to fix things, in his own way."

"Turtle-like?"

"Yeah. He's slow as fudge." Hichimiya informs me, securing a barrette to my hair.

"You need to improve that vocabulary of yours, Hichi." I smack her head, and she yelps, laughing a little.

 "That boy better tell you that he loves you tonight, or I will crack a bone."

"I don't think he plans to, not when we aren't even dating," I mumble, putting on my shoes. "I'm off!"

"No, you aren't 'off'. Get your ass here." She hisses, grabbing the back-neck of my dress and pulling me back into the room right after I step out.

"What do you mean, you aren't dating? What? WHAT?" She yells, right when Aimee and Kanzaki step up to our door.

"Hichi, Sato-kun is waiting for you in the library," Kanzaki says, stepping inside.

"But guys, hear this!" Hichimiya wails, repeating her statement. Aimee has a bored expression on her face while Kanzaki can only sweatdrop in response.

"I don't expect anything from that little piece of shit," Aimee says, crossing her hands over her chest. "I mean. Maybe he might ask her out, but I bet TenHichi would have gotten grandchildren by then."

While Hichimiya turns red at the ship name and wrestles Aimee to the ground, Kanzaki slightly pulls me out to the hallways, laughing.

"Well, hopefully, you guys will get together soon! Go, Een. Good luck!" She wishes me well, and I give her a wave, crossing the path to the other wing. Walking up the steps, I come across Semi's friend, Reon, who stops in his tracks when he sees me.

"So that's why he asked me for a movie," He mutters, when I let him know where I was heading. "Eita dosn't usually watch them much. Or rather, he doesn't have the time."

"Oh..."

"Yeah, let him relax a bit. He talks to me about you once in a while, but I have to get it out of him by force," He adds, laughing. Feeling a little flustered, I say my goodbyes to Reon, and head upstairs, to Semi's dorm room.

I am a nervous mess after I knock on his dorm room.

"Ah, she's here." I hear a voice say from inside, before footsteps follow right afterwards. 

What a cutie! The door cracks open a bit, and I manage to crack a little smile when I see his face.

"Oh, hi Een." He greets, opening the door fully. I step inside, putting my shoes on the rack before turning to face him again.

"Er, you can take a seat over there," He says, pointing to the bed on the right side. A laptop is sitting in the middle of it, and I gulp while I slowly did as he told, while why heart started to race.

Semi's roommate wasn't around, the room was fully empty. From what I saw, Semi's side of the room was neat, a few books sprawled on the study desk, and pale blue bed-sheet was straightened with matching plain crimson pillows. It was my first time in a boy's dorm room, besides a couple times when I went with Hichimiya, to drag Tendou out from bed when he was running late.

His room was five hundred times cleaner than me and Hichimiya's, that was for sure. I had a feeling Aimee would approve this side of my soulmate.

When I sit down, he turns on the air-conditioning and wants to know if I wanted it to be colder. I shake my head, and he puts the remote down before he sits on the bed beside me.

"Why are you fidgeting?" He queries, leaning against the bedpost. "You can take a pillow if you feel uncomfortable."

"No, I'm fine," I say, but he has already taken a pillow and placed it on my lap.

"You okay?" He asks, squinting his eyes. I give him a nod, holding onto my pillow tight and glancing at the laptop. When I see that he crosses his legs, I do the same and lean back a little.

"Say, can I ask you something?"

"You don't need to ask for permission, you know." He mumbles, opening the lid of his laptop.

"Well... Have you dated anyone, before?" I want to know. Semi stiffens up when I say this, and he turns to look at my face.

"W-What's with that sudden question?" He stutters, plugging his pen drive into the laptop.

"I'm curious."

"Well, yeah, I've dated two people, before this "

Normally, I would have felt my heart drop at this new information, but at that moment, I could only focus on one thing.

"Before this? What do you mean, this?"

"You're talking an awful lot, today." He hisses when the device turns on. "And besides, I don't need to say it for you to know that those are in my past. You're my present. So shut up and tell me how many people you've dated."

There is a huge smile forming on my face at what he said, and I couldn't find my voice to respond. I lift up three fingers, and his eyes go wide.

"Dammit, Een. I could have lived without that information."

"But Eita-kun, like you said, that's in my past." I let him know, recalling how Hichimiya wanted me to be honest when it came to him. "You're my present, and hopefully, my future as well."

Semi blinks a little before he shoves the laptop on my lap and stands up.

"Wait, where are you-"

"Snacks." He grumbles, stomping outside. I wasn't sure if he knew this or not, but I definitely did not miss the way the tips of his ears had gone fully red while he quickly walked out.

I can feel my own cheeks heating up and I press my hands on my face as I tried to calm down.

"Oi, Een?" I hear him call, and I look up to see his face popping after opening the door a little.

"Mmm?"

"Th-That's the last time we talk about who we dated before. I don't want either of us to bring that up again, okay?"

And then, he closes the door shut and goes off before I can respond.

For a second, I worried that I was using up all the happiness I had to receive, in one go... But I couldn't say I hated it.
