"What the hell is your boyfriend doing here? Wasn't he meant to be in America?" Rie asked, her surprise evident.

Ai who had just returned from the room, let out a small smile. "He decided to surprise me and even brought me flowers." She said, collecting them from the table and giving them a gentle sniff.

Rie shook her head, "And here I thought we would just be having a girls night… I even brought chocolates and ice cream because you said you had bad cramps." She complained.

"H—Hey… Don't be so loud." Ai replied gesturing for Rie to keep her voice down.

"Oh come on, don't tell me Ken is oblivious to that kind of stuff." Rie's face morphed into a knowing look, "I bet you guys have already done the deed."

Ai's face turned beet red, but she didn't deny the fact.

"W—Wait really!?" Rie stood up, her expression filled with shock. She had originally just been trying to make her friend feel embarrassed, but judging by her reaction, she had been spot on.

"Well… We're both adults and have been together for over 2 years now. Wouldn't it be weird if we didn't?" Ai asked, her face still red in embarrassment.

Rie couldn't really refute her words, but she was still so shocked that she fell onto the couch, her bosoms bouncing from the impact.

"I can't believe it… My innocent bestie has already been sullied by a man." She said dramatically, staring into the distance.

"Hey, I don't want to hear that stuff from you." Ai intoned, sitting onto the couch next to her friend. "With the amount of boyfriend's you've had, I would be surprised if you were still innocent."

Rie gasped, placing her hand on her ample chest. "I'll have you know… I am in a serious relationship right now and have been saving myself for my love."

Ai raised an eyebrow, wearing a suspicious expression. "Serious relationship? How many weeks will this one last." She said dismissively.

However unexpectedly, Rie's face turned serious. "I'm not lying… I think this guy might be the one."

"Eh? Really?" Ai was taken aback, but she quickly shifted gears, peppering her friend with rapid-fire questions. "Who is it? Do I know him? What does he do?"

"Hehe~ wouldn't you like to know." Rie teased.

The two went back and forth as Ai tried to pry the information from her mouth. It wasn't until a full 10 minutes that Rie finally relented.

"You know him… In fact, Ken also knows him." She said, sending Ai a wink.

"EH!? No way… Hiroki?" Ai asked in shock.

However, Rie shook her head. "His name is Shiro…"

"EHHHHH!?" In her shock, Ai had forgotten that Ken was sleeping in the next room.

Rie stared at her friend for a few moments before letting out a peel of laughter. "Hahahaha, you should have seen your face." She said, pointing and holding her sides as her assets jiggled from the shaking of her body.

Ai was confused for a few moments before wearing a stern expression, "Damn it, you almost gave me a heart attack." She complained, sitting back on the couch.

"Hehe~ it was too funny not to."

After calming down, Ai probed once more, "So it's Hiroki then?"

Rie nodded, she had had enough fun teasing her friend for now and admitted it. "After we met at Comiket again, we started talking. I thought he hated cosplaying, but it turns out he really enjoyed it after the first time."

She continued, "But since he's a professional baseball player now, he doesn't want to reveal his identity in case it ruins his image. So he'll only where costumes with masks now."

Ai blinked a few times, processing the information. From what Ken had told her, Hiroki never wanted to see Rie again, so this was very surprising news.

"But doesn't he live in Chiba right now?" She asked.

But Rie gave her a look, "Doesn't your boyfriend live in America?"

"Ah… very true."

"Anyway, he wants to keep our relationship a secret until I finish High School. Even though we're only a year apart, it might look bad for his image if the media blows it up." She replied, though her expression seemed to show her disappointment.

Ai nodded, "Yeah, Ken was plagued by the media after the World Cup too…"

The two sat in silence for a while before Ai suddenly shot to her feet. "Let me go change and we can watch some movies."

"Okay~"

The next day, Ken woke up from his long sleep to find Ai snuggled beside him on the bed. His body felt stiff, as if he'd been squeezed into a sardine can for a full day and night, which wasn't far from the truth.

After glancing at his girl, a smile crept onto his features.

A quick glance around the room showed that it was still dark. He reached over and grabbed his phone from the bedside table, checking the time.

'4am huh? Guess I should go for a run.'

Just because he was on holiday in Japan, didn't mean he would slack on his training. Since he didn't want to wake up Ai, he slowly got himself out of bed, feeling his muscles ache slightly.

After getting changed, he walked into the lounge room only to see a figure on the floor snoring away haphazardly. The covers were kicked off and her breasts were almost bursting from her top.

Ken quickly looked away, feeling a hint of embarrassment.

'Damn it, this woman has no class…' He muttered inwardly.

Doing his best to remain silent, Ken walked towards her and grabbed the blanket, covering her assets and ensuring that she at least kept her dignity.

With that, he grabbed his shoes and left the apartment. It was still very dark outside, with the street lights bearing down on the apartment complex.

After taking the elevator down, Ken began to loosen up his muscles with some dynamic stretches. He could feel just how taut his body was from these few movements.
