[ Think of the first three chapters as one-shots. This one actually has a story flow]

"Good morning! Hey Kiyotaka-Kun! It's morning!

Hearing that cheerful voice first thing in the morning broke my deep slumber. I was expecting a peaceful awakening today, but I guess that's not possible now. Rubbing my sleepy eyes, I walk towards the voice.

''Wake up, you're going to be late!''

''All right, all right, all right. I'll be right there. Just be quiet.''

"If you don't open the door in the next ten seconds, I'm bringing the big guns, okay? One, two, three."

My poor door didn't look like it would survive any more of her banging. And God forbid, I don't even wanna know what she meant by big guns. I twist the still cold doorknob.

''All right, just stop banging on the door.''

'' Ah Mou Kiyotaka-Kun! You're a horrible person for making a girl wait."

''Kei...Do you have any idea what time it is?''

''Mmm? It's five in the morning, right? Did you break your watch or something?"

"No, you see, 5:00 in the morning is when everyone is asleep. I told you that before.. didn't I? Don't come here so early in the morning."

''How could I forget the words of my wonderful boyfriend? That's why I've been waiting at the door since last night. I didn't come here early in the morning, I came last night."

''............''

This crazy woman is called Kei Karuizawa.

And she's my girlfriend.

She's been a little too clingy towards me since we started dating, or is that normal for couples? When it comes to relationships, I'm a novice, but I'm pretty sure it's unhealthy to stalk your boyfriend. At any rate, I want to make her stop following me around like a lost cat.

''I'm not stalking you, I'm watching over you.'' Kei suddenly said with a beaming smile.

''Don't read my mind like that. What are you? A telepath?"

"I'd be a terrible girlfriend if I didn't know what my boyfriend is thinking."

That's kinda creepy if you think about it.

'' Touche, well I have zero clue on what you're thinking tho."

"Is that s-so? I can't think of anything else but 'I-love-you❤'."

'' ......''

I could've sworn she wasn't like this before we started dating, or maybe I just never noticed. It's like dating me flipped a switch on her.

"Ah... Yeah, whatever. Now go home!"

''Well, I guess I'll be leaving then." Kei slightly lowered her head.

I was relieved to see Kei being so understanding, I expected her to be more stubborn. That is.... until she slipped past me and headed towards my bedroom.

I chase after the shadow, its long blonde hair fluttering, but she keeps running away, just one step away from me.

''I thought you were leaving!"

''You told me to go home. This is basically my second home.''

''When did this become your home? You don't even pay the rent!"

''Can I live here as long as I pay my rent!"

"Oh, just get out of here, you idiot!"

What rent? We live in dorms, of course, there is no rent.

I held Kei as she tried to sit on the couch and forcibly carried her outside. In a princess carry.

Kei covered her mouth, as a visible blush formed.

"Oh-my-God, you're so bold today...... Kiyotaka-Kun!"

But of course, I ignored her. The only way to get rid of a stray cat in a room is to throw them out.

''See you later. I'm going to take a nap.''

''Is that so, then please let me join you'' She snuggled herself close until she could hear my heartbeat.

"Go sleep in your own room. Or just sleep around there."

"Yes, if I sleep in front of your door, I can always keep an eye on you! I can't let those lusty women near you"

''Don't complain if you get stepped on."

"You're going to step on me❤ ?'' Kei asked meekly with a deep blush.

"Why do you look so happy?!?........."

Holding Kei in my arms, I forced the door open and threw her out. Normally I would never do this-

but...

With great dexterity, Kei landed safely from my holding position. Her unnecessarily long blonde hair softly fluttered in the wind. She had shown unnatural physical feats ever since our relationship started, till this day I still haven't figured out why.

''See you in school Kiyotaka-Kun❤." Kei started waving me goodbye.

''If I see you at school, I'll ignore you."

Did she forget our relationship is supposed to be secret?

''I will make sure you only look at me.'' she pouted.

"Yeah, Yeah just go home!"

I slammed the door shut, and the quiet space was restored. I've had no time for peace of mind since I started dating her.

Though I have a strange feeling it has only just begun.
