Saihara x Kaede

(There is some stuff in this part that some might mistake for smut/lemon. Its not smut/lemon, just wanted to clear that up, its completely innocent.)

*Saihara's POV*

She looked up at me with an embarrassed expression while her whole face had gone pink. I set her upright and we both sat on the bed. "S-Saihara..." She said softly while looking into my eyes. "I-I love you too...". I did exactly what she did when I told her and sat staring at her, but only for 30 seconds or so before I hugged her. It was the best feeling. To hug this girl who had been there for me just as I had been there for her in a way that was different to hugging a friend. She went rigid with shock at first but she then relaxed her head against my chest. I stroked her soft, blonde hair, and in turn, she reached up and took off my hat, and I didn't even protest when she did that. I then slipped her backpack off of her shoulders and put it on the floor. We then lay back onto my bed and we continued to hug.

*No one's POV*

Saihara and Kaede shared a tender kiss as they hugged. Saihara was the one to break the kiss off. "Shuichi..." She whispered breathlessly. "You forgot to lock the door..." Saihara worried for a split second that someone like Ouma or Iruma would come in, see them like that and assume they were doing... something else. "Did you close the door when you came in?" He whispered. "Yeah..." She replied. "We should be fine because the rooms are soundproof."He explained. "Oh, thats right!" She said, and they continued to hug and kiss.

*Kaede's POV*

Oh, he was an amazing boy! Saihara and I love each other. That was something I never thought would cross my mind. After we got up for dinner, I put my backpack on my shoulders and Saihara went to put on his jacket and fetch his hat that I'd thrown across the room (oops). We then set off for dinner. Kiibo was cooking today so as me and Saihara walked down the corridors, still flushed from our hugging and kissing, I had so many thoughts floating around in my mind. I love Saihara so much. I wonder what Kiibo will cook tonight? Does Saihara love me more or do I love him more?

When we got to the cafeteria, everyone else was already there. We looked suspicious because we were both blushing a little and we couldn't meet each other's gazes because I would have probably burst out laughing.

*Saihara's POV*

"Hey, Ki-boy! What are we gonna eat tonight?" Ouma called to Kiibo. "Beef noodles. And my name is Kiibo, not Ki-boy!" Kiibo called back. Ouma liked to discriminate against Kiibo because he was a robot. I would sometimes hear Kiibo mutter "Just wait until I sue him with my recording function when we are all out of here." after Ouma got up to his usual mischievous ways.

When we got into the cafeteria, I pulled a chair out for Kaede. She blushed and mumbled a thank you. I sat down while Kiibo passed around the plates of noodles. "Hey, I bet those two did the deed really hard! Kyakyakyakya! I bet I'm right!" Iruma shouted. Me and Kaede almost choked on our noodles. What is she talking about? We didn't do that at all! I would only do that if Kaede wanted to. I tried to ignore the silence the fell upon the table. Everyone stopped and stared. I did what I didn't want to do and went bright red and started to sweat. Now everyone will think we did. "Whoa! Did you really?!" Ouma asked excitedly. "No! We didn't!" Kaede shouted indignantly. "Are you maybe lying like me?" Ouma said with a sinister grin on his face. "No way! I wouldn't lie!" She yelled, getting more and more flustered. She then reached over the table and slapped Ouma's cheek, hard, Ouma then started to cry (fake) tears and screamed "WAAAAAAAAAUHAAAAAHANHNNNGH! AKAMATSU-CHAN HIT ME!" "This male is crying very loudly. Tenko thinks she should shape him up." Tenko said, also reaching over and slapping Ouma's other cheek, it was such a hard slap that Ouma toppled off his chair and started to cry and scream even louder. "What a noisy bastard." Ryoma muttered, holding his hat. Me and Kaede had finished our noodles about five minutes before Ouma asked if Kaede was lying, so I grabbed her hand and we ran to our rooms so we could get changed.

*1 hour later, no one's POV*

Saihara and Kaede were sat in the arcade room, playing video games. It was cold so they had two blankets wrapped around both of their bodies because Kaede asked if they could share blankets rather than have one blanket to one person. As they played, Saihara noticed Kaede's eyes starting to droop. "Kaede? Do you want to go to bed now?" He asked softly. "No no no I'm fine." Kaede mumbled, her eyes shooting open. The truth was, she did really want to sleep, but she wanted to stay with him for as long as she could. But soon, Kaede had begun to slip in and out of consciousness. Half way through a game, Kaede's body began to slip backwards. Saihara caught her and looked at her. Her sleeping face was so peaceful and beautiful. Saihara wondered about waking her up, but decided against it. She looked too peaceful. So he slipped an arm under her legs and another on her back and tried to pick her up. He had some difficulty though. Kaede wasn't really heavy, it was just that she was almost as tall as Saihara, meaning there was quite an effort to make sure she was balanced. She was also asleep and had to be very careful as to not wake her up.

Eventually, Saihara managed to get onto his feet and carry her through the corridors, hoping that everyone had gone to bed. When he got to the dorm rooms, he realised he couldn't put Kaede in her room because the key was in her pocket and he didn't want to go through her pockets without permission. So he used the only option he had. To put her in his bed. Luckily, the beds were double beds, meaning that Saihara wouldn't have to sleep on the floor. But he wondered if it was okay to sleep in the same bed as her. He decided, in the end, that it was fine. They loved each other, right? Saihara put the blankets on top of Kaede and got into bed. He couldn't sleep though. He figured it was because he didn't want to roll over and hurt her. He closed his eyes and was starting to drift into unconsciousness when suddenly, Kaede put her forehead on his spine and moaned. Was she having trouble sleeping as well?
