Cupid, Keisuke's Fanboy~

I awaken to the sight of abs, great way to start the day. Not really since this guy was radiating heat constantly, it was sleeping next to a heater that was on in the middle of the summer. I wasn't happy that Keisuke moved closer to me during his sleep, despite my previous warnings, that I didn't wish to get toasted in here. There was no ventilation in this room, making matters worse.

I tried to move away but soon spotted the orange cat, sitting there with its mischievous gaze. As I was contemplating what this silly cat could want from me this early in the morning besides food, he meowed at me.

"No, I'm not going to lick his face," I whispered as quietly as possible. Of course, Cupid seemed disappointed at my lack of cooperation with his awesome master plan. He started to jump around like a little madman he was, meowing and demanding I follow his request since licking faces was something humans liked to do. He claimed he saw my parents do it on different occasions, hence I should give it a try. I couldn't with this cat and his constant whining. Soon the boys woke up from his tantrums.

"Is he hungry or something?" Keisuke asked with his eyes half-open, because what else would you think if you were convinced this was a normal cat? I shook my head, but before I could come up with an excuse suddenly a mission popped up.

'Would you rather tell Keisuke Baji the truth or give him a smooch?' Oh yes, so it was either admitting that you wanted to kiss him because he wouldn't believe it was the cat's real request or actually giving him a kiss. There were no winners in this matter. I sighed clicked at one of the options and in the bluntest voice conveyed.

"The majesty is angry I didn't lick your face per his request, now go back to sleep I will take care of this gremlin." Keisuke in his sleepy state nodded his head and laid his head back on the pillow. Kazutora was shocked but all he did was cover his mouth with his hand, looking my way. I scooped Cupid and walked out the door. Only when I closed the door behind me, did I hear a gasp coming from Keisuke.

"Did she really just say that?" I could hear coming from the room. It was quite a cute reaction he had, but I didn't linger around the door more, being too eager to fill my stomach with some food. Arriving at the kitchen grandma was already making some breakfast, even if mom tried to offer help it was refused.

"You are a guest here, just relax." I suddenly felt like I was back in my hometown because my real grandma acted this way too. But wasn't this woman also my real grandma? I guess I didn't feel like acknowledging the fact since this was the first time I have ever seen her in my life. It didn't seem like the guys went back to sleep, because a few minutes later they arrived in the kitchen, dressed up as I was pouring food for Cupid and the other cat, that was way too shy in Cupid's presence.

"Great I can change out of these," I mentioned looking down at my pj's. Countryside meant dresses and big hats time, I thought like I wasn't already doing it most of the summertime.

Once we ate breakfast I decided to spend some quality time with the grandparents, I was shown for example pictures when dad was little, and we got to see him in his teenage years causing me to comment.

"No wonder mom chose to date this boy~" Mom couldn't believe what I said, it was payback for all the dating Souya comments.

We then proceeded to work in the gardens, but Keisuke got distracted and started to chase after some bugs.

"Isn't this beetle awesome looking?" The one thing I could think about was Itto? I stared into space and only managed to nod my head at his question.

"Do you want to hold it?" Before I could respond, I was already holding it in my hands, but as soon the beetle got the chance it flew away.

"Oh." Was my only response, but Keisuke said he didn't mind.

"How about you youngsters go pick some peaches, we could make some delicious desserts with them," Grandpa suggested. Peaches? Peach pie perhaps? I was on.

"Let's go!" I said excitedly as we went to the orchard with all the fruit trees.

"Where is the ladder?" I asked as grandpa came over and handed us one.

"Thanks." I didn't even hesitate to climb it.

"Be careful Michi!" I didn't consider falling as an option, I got a basket from Kazutora and started to fill it up when I was ready I handed over it to them, but when I was about to go down another mission came up, was this system so stubborn because Keisuke was here?

'Would you rather send a kiss to Keisuke Baji or pick that peach?' I looked and sighed and once the basket was in Kazutora's hands I tried to pick the peach that now was shining like a quest item in a game.

As I was about to get to it, I got this eerie feeling. I turned around and saw Cupid running up at full speed.

"What's he up to?" I asked myself and suddenly felt him bumping really hard into the ladder that made it tumble down. I was holding on to one of the branches for my life.

"Jump I will catch you!" Keisuke insisted so I let go and found myself in Keisuke's arms.

"That was scary." How did Cupid know to come here and wreak havoc? Was he really part of this system, were they both in cahoots? So if I chose the snake way back, I would have a snake trying to match-make me with someone instead? That sure would be easier to deal with.

"I'm so thankful I could kiss you." I must have startled the guy because suddenly he dropped me.

"Not anymore," I said holding my butt that was now in pain, I heard Kazutora making fun of Keisuke as I grabbed the peaches and walked back home to make the perfect dessert.

"Peach pie, peach pie. I will make it myself if I have to." So I ended up helping grandma with baking, she was really nice and whenever I had a question about the progress she explained it nicely. However once the pie came out of the oven we all decided it was perfect weather for a picnic, grandma assured us she had the best spot for such activities.

We arrived at a flower field, and as we sat down some of us chatted, while Keisuke was unable to touch the pie because the two cats were bothering him so much. Was Cupid trying something once more? I mean if he liked Keisuke this much he could just move to his house instead.

'Would you rather kiss Keisuke Baji's cheek or feed him a piece of pie?' Was the whole day gonna be the system wanting me to kiss Keisuke in any sort of form? I was already planning not to see him for a few days after this was over because this was ridiculous.

"Here have some," I said basically shoving the piece into his mouth and giggling at his shocked face.

"Stop flirting you two," Kazutora said which caused me to pick a piece of pie and shove it into his mouth next.

"Young love." I heard grandma say as grandpa nodded his head agreeing with her statement.

"Sorry to say but half my heart is in Havana." I could see visible confusion on everyone's faces before I started to sing.

"Havana ooh nana~ Half of my heart is in Havana ooh nana~" But was soon interrupted by Kazutora in the middle of my performance.

"What kind of song is it, this is the first time I heard it." What was I supposed to tell him? That I just made it up? That he needs to wait till like 2019 to hear it?

"I heard the song in my dream." Yes because that was a justifiable explanation Michi. My parents must have realized it was a piece from the future so they changed the topic. After we finished eating grandma decided to teach us how to make flower crowns.

"Ladies and gentlemen we have come here to witness the flower-crown competition, only this summer will we be able to see the true champion that has both creative thinking, capable hands, and speed. The competition will be judged not only on time efficiency but also on appearance and artistic choices made by the competitors, let the best crown win!" I said in the most football commentary voice I could muster. Kazutora and Keisuke were laughing at my attempt in making this a serious competition.

"Let the best bruh win," I said as we all started on our flower crowns. I decided to take it slow, so the construction would be sturdy and elegant true art needed time and quality. Meanwhile, both Keisuke and Kazutora were only thinking about the speed of their given task. Theirs were kind of crumbling, so I looked really smug while presenting mine to grandma.

"Yes Picasso," I said putting on airs as if I was a high-ranking aristocrat.

"Peasants will never know true art." Grandma just laughed, probably realizing I was joking and she assigned me as the winner.

"Sorry, boys you put so much effort into winning the time competition you forgot about anything else." She informed them.

We only left this place when it was time for dinner and the mosquitoes started to make their appearance, but we didn't let this stop our fun since for dinner we made a fireplace and roasted some sweet potatoes, but that's when a call came thru.

"Hello?" I answered and heard Izana's voice on the other side.

"I couldn't reach you on your phone for the longest time, are you alright?" I wasn't expecting him to call, at all.

"Yea yea I'm out of town so the signal is really bad in the countryside, you wanted something?" It took some time before he answered.

"I just wanted to make sure you would answer my call." Was he feeling insecure? But that was so cute because he admitted to it.

"Why wouldn't I, we are friends now aren't we." I heard him humming as an answer, but he only mentioned something along the lines.

"Visit when you have time." And he ended the call.

"That was weird," I said to myself and put the phone away and nibbed on some of the potatoes fresh out of the fire.

When it was time to head back to sleep Kazutora refused to let me have the window spot, so I wanted Keisuke to once more take the middle, it sure ended up in a fight that lasted like 5 minutes of arguing.

"Ok, whatever," I said plopping on the middle futon. I never thought Kazutora would be so passionate about sleeping arrangements.
