Once I awoke on Saturday I felt something resting on my chest, upon closer inspection I realized how I was surrounded by all sides, catching both Yuzuha and Senju sleeping beside me. When I wriggled myself free from their grips, I took notice of the fact that both of them used my pj's for their own use. I guess it was because they didn't have a change of clothes on their own, not like I minded any of it tho.

However, how come no one informed me that this birthday party would turn into a sleepover all of sudden? If I knew maybe I would have stayed up longer. Then again maybe it would have been a bad idea, I would probably just fall asleep on someone's shoulder or lap, and Keisuke's supporters would have aided him in his case.

Yet, was I safe to assume all the other guys were still present? I went out of bed and decided to stretch my body, thankfully I woke up after my body went thru the modification progress, so no more pain. But it also meant I slept longer than anticipated.

"Thank goodness it's over." I walked out ready to put some food into my stomach, but when passing Kazutora's room I noticed there was a crack in the door, meaning someone didn't close it properly. I took a quick peek and saw that some guys had shirts on, but some just slept in only boxers, but three guys were missing.

I went to the living room spotting mom watching a Japanese tv-show on tv with Mitsuya, Keisuke, and Chome. The whole scene felt so surreal, that I had to rub my eyes to confirm it wasn't any fever dream. Keisuke noticed my presence and soon spoke.

"Michi you slept for a while, were you that tired?" Rather than answering him earnestly, my morning self chose chaos.

"Hopefully I slept long enough for you to reconsider my offer, so what is your final answer?" His eyes went wide open, but when I realized I wouldn't get any immediate response I continued.

"That's okay, I will just find another customer in your stead... Mikey perhaps?" Considering how many times he called me a pillow it seemed fair enough to grant him one.

"No way you're giving that to him!" Keisuke yelled, causing Mitsuya to become curious as to what we were talking about.

"Oh, what is going on?" But Chome didn't like the whole commotion taking place in the living room.

"Can you quiet down, we are at the best part." Wow, he really seemed immersed in it, did mom just discover a new hobby for this guy? My last reply to Keisuke was.

"Who's gonna stop me?... You? I don't think so." And I retreated to the kitchen after witnessing Keisuke's perplexed face, which made me chuckle.

Once I warmed up the food and took a seat to consume it, Keisuke came around, hovering behind me.

"Is it so fun to tease me?" He whispered in this low raspy voice right into my left ear. Causing me to think.

"Spicy." I must have said out loud because he was taken aback.

"Are you trying some seductive tactics now?" I questioned not really liking being disturbed during my meal, but I patted on the seat beside me, prompting him to sit down, which he essentially did, when he realized I had something to tell him.

"Should I conclude that you don't like to be teased? But what should I do, I can't get enough of your adorable expressions." It seemed like he wanted to deny his cuteness, but I interrupted him.

"Does it mean you want to go back when I was constantly annoyed by your ass instead?" I guess just this single sentence made him realize something.

"So you mean, teasing is how you show interest in people?" Wait, it felt like he was onto something there.

"Didn't Taka-chan mention something similar?" Right wasn't he convinced that I may develop some feelings towards the people I tease? My eyes wide opened, and right on cue, the system appeared in its pixie form, her head that looked nothing more than a screen was constantly replaying a popping heart emoji.

"New mission." It told me and then started to read it out loud.

'Would you rather take a glance at your love points towards Tetta Kisaki or Keisuke Baji?' Was this system's new way of torture? I was afraid to take either of the options but realized how the curiosity was eating me up from the inside when I was glancing at Tetta's name.

"No, it couldn't be." I talked to myself, there was no possible way, right? Yes, I needed to make sure, to lay my curious mind at peace. I clicked on the first option and realized how my hands started to shake when the window was changing I put my hands into a prayer.

"Level two?" I had to witness this abomination. Level 2 means Interest in the person, the level being 2 points away from level three which indicated a crush.

"What's wrong?" Keisuke asked concerned, feeling like I needed some reassurance on this matter, my mouth spilled the tea before I could ponder whatever it was favorable to share this information with him.

"I made a grave mistake."

"What are you talking about?" I then took a deep breath while explaining.

"You remember the classmate where I keep trying to convince him that I actually like him?" He nodded his head.

"I may have started to catch feelings for him." He gasped loudly but then asked.

"You mean the guy that already rejected you on multiple occasions?" He questioned as he seemed to have sighed in relief.

"He's probably gonna reject you again." He didn't have to be this brutally honest.

"How about you let me take you on a date, so I can make you forget about him altogether?" Wow, he really found the perfect opportunity to strike. I was considering rejecting the idea, but another mission came up.

'Would you rather accept going on a date with Keisuke Baji or once more ask Tetta Kisaki for one?' I knew the other option was futile, also was this a way to keep my hopes up? To make me receive at least one small ray of hope he would forget about Hina? Where did those thoughts even come from?

"I knew you would ref-" Before Keisuke could finish his sentence I cut him off.

"Sure." Then added.

"Someday next week, how does that sound for ya?" He stared at me in disbelief.

"Is it another of your jokes?" He questioned, was he so distrustful of me?

"No, but if you don't want you then..." He stood up put his fists up and cheered.

"Yes, I can throw it into Peh's face!" Was he still not over it?

"I shall share the good news with the guys!" I saw him running up the stairs.

"It feels like I've been thru a hurricane." I continued eating my food, but soon my peace was disturbed when Keisuke's number one simp came down.

"I knew you would see Baji-sans charm in the end." I quickly turned to him.

"If you don't stop, I will seriously smack you!" That's when Senju arrived too, my salvation.

"Great timing Senju, take your boy away." And then I slammed the table while declaring.

"He will not lure me into converting to the Baji-san religion!" Mitsuya that must have come to grab a snack heard this and he started laughing.

"Stop making stuff up!" Chifuyu exclaimed, I then put my fingers really close to each other while stating.

"You are so close to making him a temple, and I will not be one of your shrine maidens." to which Mitusya conveyed.

"I think I finally understand why Smiley calls you a jester." Wait he was calling me by this nickname to his buddies even?

"Royal highness is spreading my name to the court? I'm honored." Senju asked Chifuyu to leave me alone and soon many more people joined the kitchen table, not wanting to disturb mom and her tv-drama time I took it upon myself to heat up the breakfast for everyone else.

Time passed and everyone dispersed, I knew Senju dragged Chifuyu on a date.

"Aren't you planning to leave?" I asked Keisuke, that was the only person left behind.

"Nope, I'm planning to waste some of your time." I rolled my eyes, but since no one else was there I decided to ask for a special request.

"Since you're here wasting my time away... I have a request to make." I avoided his eye contact feeling a tiny bit shy placing such a demand so directly.

"Oh~ What could that be?" He asked, was he snatching the opportunity to tease me in exchange?

"Forget about it," I said but he shook his head.

"No let's hear it, this is the first time you ask me for something and I want to know what it is." I guess since I came so long, I decided to go for it.

"Can you..." I began as he tried to hurry me up.

"Can I?" I guess he was enjoying himself, way too much for my liking.

"Canyoupickmeuplikeyoudidlasttime!" I yelled out really fast, wait a moment, maybe screaming the most embarrassing stuff was part of my character. He didn't even question it just picked me up in the air.

"Wait, but weren't you angry last time when I did it?" He asked confused, I just averted my gaze.

"I have no clue what you're talking about." To which his response was.

"You did like it but aren't willing to admit it." I pouted and declared to be let down.

"So do you like to be pulled into the air like a baby or carried bride style more?" He actually put me down.

"No comment." I was about to walk away, but he picked me up once more but in bridal style carry instead. That's when I realized I made an even worse mistake than before, did I just give Keisuke another method to bother me? And one that made my heart flutter just a tiny bit. Then this guy proceeded to spin around.

"I'm in danger," I whispered to myself but decided to ask in a stern voice.

"Are you done yet?" Once I was let down, I chased this guy away from my room.
