When I started dating Seiya, I was in my second year of junior high. At that time students weren't that interested in romance and never asked me about a boyfriend.

But once I entered high school, I had so many new classmates and most girls were interested in those shojo manga kind of romances.

I was 15 years old when me and a few new friends were sitting at a cafe, ordering sweets and drinks. We were sitting outside since the weather was nice and we had a nice view. Once we got our orders, we approached the topics of boyfriends.

"My boyfriend can be a real douche at times." One of them started.

Another girl, their friend from junior high, then asked "Isn't he two years younger than you?"

"Yeah." She took a bite from her cake in anger "We basically grew up together."

"That's so romantic!" Another friend replied "From childhood friends to lovers! Such a sweet love!"

"It's not sweet at all!" She tried to defend herself but started to blush soon "It gets so annoying at times. He knows me simply too well, always interfering in my business. He even eats my sweets."

"Aw!" Most said.

That was when one of them looked my way "Someone as pretty as you surely has a boyfriend!"

Having been called out suddenly, I gave her a wide eyed smile "Well..."

"Oh! Or are you single? No way! Someone as pretty as you? Looking at you, I would imagine that you had dozens already!"

Taking a sip, I braced myself and answered "No, I do have a boyfriend. He is my first boyfriend too. And... We have been dating for two years."

"AW~!"

A chain of questions immediately followed "Who is he? What is his name?"

"Does he go to our school?"

"How old is he?"

"Do we know him?"

"How did you start dating?"

"Who confessed their love first?"

For some reason they were highly invested in my love life.

Taking another sip from my drink, I contemplated what I could say about him "He is my age but he doesn't go to our school. And I don't think that you know him." At least if they didn't watch the Galaxian Wars "He is... an martial arts expert and he studied overseas."

"How cool!" They gushed.

"We befriended each other before he travelled for his... studies... And it was only after he returned to Japan that we started to date each other."

"Uwu~!" One of them made "A star crossed romance! Having been separated into different countries and waiting for their lover to return to them! I'm so envious!"

I didn't know what to commend on that and just let it slide.

That was when the question arose "What is his name?"

I wasn't sure whether I should tell them or not, which is why I said "I will ask him whether he wants me to tell you or not. It's his privacy after all."

They were clearly disappointed but I promised to ask him. That was until someone put their weight on my shoulders from behind "Why don't you ask me now?"

Recognising the voice, I looked back to see Seiya's grin "Seiya?!"

"Hi!" He greeted cheerfully, waving his hand "I heard you talking about me and simply had to listen!"

Of course he had to...

As always his charms were on their peak because my new friends were quickly gushing about him, one even thinking she knows him somewhere. I sighed and turned to Seiya again "Why are you even here?"

Smirking, he replied "I was planning to pick you up for your first day in high school but you were leaving with your new friends. So, I planned to let you be but coincidentally I saw you all sitting here and planned to greet you."

Coincidence, of course.

Well, seeing how he was clearly enjoying himself, I ate up my dish and put some money on the table "Knowing you, you surely wanted to do something together." Turning back to my friends, I tilted my head "Would you mind if we leave first?"

"Oh, don't worry about us!"

"Have fun on your date!"

They all had that teasing grin.

I sighed again but picked up my school bag and wished them all a nice day.

Seiya and I a block or so away until he bursted into laughter "You are so cute!" He wheezed.

Rolling my eyes, I hugged his arm and followed his lead "Next time they ask about you, I will tell them all the embarrassing stories you wouldn't even tell your brothers."

"What embarrassing stories?!" And just as quickly was his laughter gone.

Chuckling, I placed my head on his shoulder "That you surely want to know, huh?"

Laughing nervously, he held one of my hands "Y-you are bluffing, right? There can't be that many stories about me?"

"You wanna bet your dignity on that?"

"Um..."
