Realize

6:00 am.

Misaki's classes will start at 7:00 am, she'll have physical education classes.

Kanaru and Misaki got up at the same time.

They both showered in the shower in Kanaru's room.

Then they both got dressed: Kanaru in his white outfit and Misaki in her Tokiwadai uniform.

Then Kanaru served two fruit juice for breakfast, he had some stored in the fridge.

Kanaru didn't need to eat or sleep, but still he always did it whenever he could. He didn't want to feel less human.

After breakfast they both went to the sofa.

Kanaru was lying on Misaki's lap.

"What high school did you choose to study?" Misaki asked.

Although Misaki saw Kanaru the night before, the two of them barely spoke. They were both almost like rabbits.

"A Certain High School" Kanaru answered casually.

"..." Misaki was silent for a moment.

"Is it because of Touma-san?" Misaki spoke after a while.

Although she never told him the circumstances that she had with him, she knew that one day he would find out on his own. Still, she didn't want Kanaru to know that she was once in love with another man.

But actually, Kanaru didn't know the latter.

"Touma-san? huh. That's the other important person in your life, right?" Kanaru asked with a frown.

"Fool." Misaki pinched Kanaru's cheek. She continued speaking.

"He is a great friend, a friend who unfortunately does not remember me for an accident that he had because of me."

"Besides… are you jealous? Are you jealous despite all the things we did together?"

Misaki giggled a little.

"So, he helped you in the past and for some reason he doesn't remember you. The first time we met that guy, you hid behind me, so I thought he might be an enemy." Kanaru said.

'Plus, he has that strange ability on his right arm that I saw in Index's memories, that makes him a dangerous enemy, but that's unlikely, he's a full-fledged hero after all.'

"Did you see him?" Misaki asked.

"No, he didn't go to class yesterday." Kanaru replied. He continued speaking.

"But I'm not in that school exclusively because of him. It won't take long for our relationship to expose itself and once that happens, I don't want you to be labeled as a young girl who is dating a mysterious person. And my middle-school grades don't give me many other options, but--- what happens?"

Misaki's eyes reddened as Kanaru spoke.

"Eh? What? I said something wrong? Wait, wait, wait. Don't cry…" Kanaru began to worry about Misaki's condition.

Suddenly, a white aura enveloped Misaki.

But her tears began to fall on Kanaru's face.

"I..." Kanaru didn't know what to say.

His original ability had not failed since that day when he tried to stop Amata's murder.

"Don't worry, fool. I'm just happy that you care so much about me, I think any woman would be happy to have such a wonderful boyfriend. " Misaki said in a loving tone.

Kanaru calmed down upon hearing her.

"That's obvious."

"Kanaru... thank you." Misaki said in a melancholic tone.

She kissed Kanaru on the lips.

6:45 am

Kanaru and Misaki continued talking.

He was learning more and more with her how to socialize properly.

"Won't you go to class?" Kanaru asked after he realized the time.

"Hehehe. I want to be with my boyfriend as long as possible. " Misaki looked away from Kanaru's eyes.

Kanaru rolled his eyes.

"When the festival ends, we'll do a lot of exercise." Kanaru said.

Misaki's body shuddered upon hearing him, but she nodded.

"I also have to go to class." Kanaru said. Then he remembered something.

"By the way, forget about finding another level 5 esper for the opening of the festival, I'll find one today. Although it is likely to be Misaka-san, she has changed after all. "

"Thank you very much, but I prefer that you avoid contact with Misaka-san for a while." Misaki said in an unusual tone of voice.

"..." Kanaru was speechless.

"You know why, right?" Misaki asked.

"Since I defeated Accelerator and saved her 'sisters' she has been acting strange with me, she even hugged me… did she like me?"

Misaki nodded.

"She has been asking me about you and I think she is suspecting something. In fact, everyone in Tokiwadai suspects something, they say I look more 'mature'. "

"I'll not ignore this situation. I'll make things clear with her." Kanaru said.

Misaki just sighed.

"If you keep saving and helping young girls... won't you turn into some kind of womanizer and we'll go through the same situation over and over again?"

"I..." When Kanaru was about to speak Misaki kissed him and she stroked his hair.

"Just kidding, I trust you, fool, I just wanted to see your reaction and I'm not worried about Misaka-san. She can't compete with me. " Misaki said confidently.

"Being in love makes people change…" Kanaru thought.

Kanaru teleported Misaki after talking to her for a bit more.

This time Kanaru was lying alone on the sofa.

After a while Kanaru dressed in his school sportswear and he disappeared in a white flash.
