Senpai & Kouhai

Tokyo, Japan,

Glory Boxing Gym,

Samuel POV,

"Kouhai, how come you keep finding me so often?" Samuel joked in the same tone, resting his arms on the ring's ropes, a pensive smile on his face. Seeing her act and knowing full well it was an act had earlier made him feel a strange sense of companionship. Now however, that feeling was gone and he was ever so slightly worried about whatever was making her act.

'Then do what I asked you to.' Echidna spoke as if they'd been over this a number of times before.

Samuel could only inwardly sigh at the witch's words, he wasn't going to run a background check because it was an invasion of privacy.... and he didn't really care, not like it harmed him.

"Well senpai, it's hard not to." The newly arrived blonde pointed at the massive glass panes to the side, they were transparent so anyone could see inside from the streets.

"And you were just walking through there by coincidence?" Samuel looked to the side before once again looking down on her, clearly amused, this would never get boring.

The blonde pointed at the bag in her hand, "I was going for a bit of shopping." She smiled awkwardly.

"And how's that come to visiting me?"

".....Well,.... I saw senpai so I just thought...." The girl looked down 'embarrassed', seemingly put on the spot by his questioning.

Of course, it was just an act.

She'd been notified of him coming here and thought to set up a shopping event because she was none other than Ai Hayasaka, personal maid to Kaguya Shinomiya and her current objective, seducing Samuel Hayes!

The other people there could only observe the exchange in mild confusion and have a foreboding feeling also known as feeling like a third wheel.

Hibiki looked at the newly arrived girl in slight jealousy, a thin frame, average height, a well endowed figure, bright eyes and fair skin with long blonde hair. That was the kind of girl guys liked right? She stomped her foot, turning her head away with folded arms.

Ayaka watched her friend's activities with a small smile, it was funny to say the least while her older sister Nana only had a twitching smile on her face.

"Oh I know." Hayasaka had an 'idea' and fidgeting with her hands together, she looked up at Samuel, "How about senpai come with me? .....If you're free of course." She gripped her skirt, looking down on the floor and Samuel couldn't help but admit, as he had many times before, that she was an actual good act.

"I'm gonna have to take a ra-"

"He's free."

"I am?"

"Yes, go with her."

"....." Samuel tilted his head at Nana, didn't she say she was going to put him through hell right now?

"Then I'll wait outside!" Hayasaka 'cheerfully' did a small victory sign and ran out of the gym.

With her smile twitching, Nana wrapped her arm around Samuel's neck in an attempt to bring him down to her level..... Only, she didn't nearly have enough strength to lower him so they ended up in an awkward position instead.

"I can't say I mind this but, what happened?" Of course he was referring to the feeling of her chest pressing down on the right side of his own chest, the older woman did have a rather voluptuous figure after all.

'...' Echidna wanted to smack her contractor.

"You have a girl that cute waiting on you and have the guts to flirt with someone else?" Nana looked pretty annoyed, more so because it was a lost opportunity than anything.

"Huh." Samuel nodded his head in slight disbelief, "How come that matters?"

"Doesn't it make you a piece of shit?"

"Who's to define that?"

'You go.' Echidna was proud of her contractor.

"...You're right...." Nana looked like she had a revelation, he was right. If he wasn't in a relationship with that girl and seemingly not interested, then wasn't it unfair to call him a piece of shit for being interested in someone else?

Samuel nodded in approval, patting her head, "And I like older women so meh." Shrugging the silver haired teenager walked to the changing rooms, he needed to change to go with the blonde... He wouldn't mind dating her just for how she occasionally forgot her act. It was an amusing thing to see...

'I don't like this...' The Witch of Greed voiced her own thoughts. Now that 'I'm not worthy' had gone to 'I don't have to be', her contractor was changing quite a bit. For the better yes but for she who was Greed, it was upsetting to see others all over what was supposed to be hers.

"....." Nana was just left speechless, "Right then, you're asking for it." She grinned, rolling down her sleeves. It wouldn't be her fault if he couldn't handle it then. Ayaka only sweatdropped at her older sister's behaviour, older women looking for marriage were scary.

Hibiki looked at Samuel who was walking away with a strange expression, why wasn't he afraid of her after seeing how hard she could hit? Granted that she was the one hurt.. It was like that most of the time.... He even asked to fight again. The tanned blonde smiled happily, glad that she'd possibly gained another friend, him being hot was just a plus.

-x-X-x-

"Wassup."

"Senpai, you look thinner in full clothes." Hayasaka made this compliment genuinely, ignoring the hand ruffling her hair, she'd noticed that was like a normal thing for him. This guy had strange hobbies to him but.... well he was an interesting person.

"So I've heard." Samuel looked down on his clothes, he only wore a white tracksuit with black stripes on the sides but even he thought it suited him, "You look nice too." Of course, changing wasn't going to make him forget courtesy.

"Senpai.... For your nice attitude, you sure seem to have starkly different actions." Hayasaka looked up with her hands at her waist, slightly pouting. Yes, it was like that from what she'd seen. He was nice and amiable sure but he also had way too many girls around him, got into way too many fights to be nice and often smoked too.... She'd realised he was just as eccentric as any of the other three heirs.

"And kouhai, for your upsy daisy way of talking, you sure seem to have some insecurities." Samuel chuckled, walking away with a casual smile on his face as Hayasaka's smile froze for a moment,

"What insecurities? You can't say that to girls, senpai!" Hayasaka ran after him complaining, she knew that he saw through her act but she wasn't sure that he'd be as accepting as he was if he knew her true self so this act was all she could do..... Certain that he only needed a push to accept dating her however, the maid was convicted in her behaviour. Spending weeks with him also did let her affirm that she would like to keep their relationship going after all was done, not that she was infatuated or anything, more that he was the best candidate there.

"Senpai.... you seem different.." Of course, her watchful eyes hadn't missed the change in his behaviour and body language... The silver haired teenager seemed more sure of himself, and more relaxed. That and the glaring change in appearance, where his hair was once made up and prim, it was more unruly now.

"Well, I did get over something troubling me. Wanna talk about it as we walk?"

"Definitely."

Hayasaka was..... intrigued.
