Chapter 10: Exam Shock
"Good morning. I hope you like scrambled eggs." Hideaki said as he saw Annie stir among the pillows.
"Ugh, what time is it?"
"Early. We have about an hour and a half before we meet the bus. How do you feel?"
"You look silly in my robe."
"Nah, I look sexy! Like a guy, who just made love to his favorite girl. Now get up. Exams start today."
"Okay. But give me my robe, I don't want to walk around butt naked."
"There is nothing to be embarrassed about with me. I mean, well, after last night."
"That's the problem. I know how guys are. If I run around naked, we will never get to school." Annie said as she wrapped the blanket around herself and walked into the dining room.
"And If I run around naked, we will still never get to school. Just eat something. I won't have you going out on an empty stomach."
"Who made you my mother, Hideaki?"
"I am your lover now. That makes me protective. I want you to shine for everyone else the way you shine for me."
"Can the sweet talk. I don't need convincing how much you care."
"You are my muse. I can't help it. I want everyone to see that true beauty you hide under that tough act and foul mouth."
"Fuck You."
"Maybe later. Now eat. I am not going next door until you do. I saw you already had your uniform set out. I got you a clean towel ready to use once you take your shower. I will be back once I am finished getting dressed to help you with your hair."
"Jeez, now you are sounding like a chambermaid. You don't have to do all of this for me, Hideaki."
"I am not doing it because I 'have ' to. I am doing this because I 'want ' to. I don't mean to sound crude or anything, but it is the least I can do for the girl I care about enough to let take my chastity. I love you, Annie. Remember?"
"Yeah, I know. I love you too. I just feel strange."
"Eat, Your food. Its getting cold." Hideaki gulped down the last of his eggs, stood up and took off the robe. He was wearing his underwear.
"Now that wasn't very nice, making me think you were naked under there."
"See you in a little while," He said as he walked to the living room and put on his pants. "I will leave my t-shirt with you."
The week of exams was grueling for Annie. She always got nervous during tests. That is why she always had something to distract her while she studied. She could think of the distraction and the answers would come easier.
This time, Hideaki's face kept popping into her head. It was not the kind of distraction she needed. She hoped at least she would make a decent score.
Hideaki doted on her all week. He hovered around her everywhere she went. She found it both comforting and annoying at the same time.
Although they both wanted to make love again, they decided it would be best to wait until after exams.
As the next week began, as usual, Yukino and Soichiro were first to the board to check out their scores.
"Whoa! Look at that! Arima!"
"What do you mean? I am first, you and Tonami tied for second, Annie is third. What is the problem?"
"Look who is ninth."
"Asaba! How in the hell did he manage that?"
"I have been tutoring him, that's why." Annie said as she crowded in behind the two. " I have the time, and because I am right next door, I am usually available when he needs help. It's not a problem, really."
"Whoa! Ninth! I really made ninth place? Wow. You are amazing, Annie!" Hideaki turned Annie toward him, picked her up and whirled her around. "You are the best tutor a guy could ever have!"
As Hideaki put her down, Annie tried to take a step back to get rid of her dizziness. The chains of their neacklaces came out of their shirts and twisted together.
"Oops, sorry about that, Takishiro. Man, these things got really twisted!"
"Here, Asaba. Let me help with that." Arima said as he carefully untwisted the chains. "Those are pretty pendants. A split coin. Hers has the Yang on her half and yours has the Yin, Asaba. I guess this means you two are really an item now."
"Let me see! I noticed yours before, Annie, but I didn't realize Asapin had the other half? Why didn't you say something?"Yukino said.
"Because it is embarrassing as hell, and it was all over the papers anyway. Not that having , you, Asaba as my boyfriend is bad or embarrassing. It is just this seems weird to me. I have never had a real boyfriend before. It is all new. I mean for years, I used to tell my one friend, my tutor's daughter, Chihiro, that I was going to have a stud ranch and all of the gorgeous guys I could catch would fulfill my every desire. "
Soichiro started to laugh, "That sounds familiar. No wonder you two are so perfect for each other. You two are very alike."
"I think you had better let Asapin tell you about his Merryland." Yukino added.
"Interesting." Annie said as she walked toward the library to return a book.
Hideaki danced around the halls. "I don't have to take a makeup exam!"
Maho nearly ran into him as he danced around. "What are you so excited about?"
"No make up exam for me, I made ninth place."
"Well I suppose having someone smart like Annie next door does do wonders."
"Hey, I know," Yukino said, "To celebrate, lets all go as a group tomorrow to go shopping. With all of the Christmas ads and hype, you are no longer front page news. It should be relatively safe if you wear one of your wilder outfits, Asapin."
"Sounds good to me. I will tell Annie tonight."
"Why not tell her now? She is just over in the library." Maho asked.
"Nah. She comes over to my place for dinner or leftovers all of the time anyway. I am trying to teach her how to cook, but so far, it seems a lost cause."
"How about late afternoon? I have to give a Kendo exhibition tomorrow afternoon. I can meet you by the theatre around four."
"Sounds good, Arima." Hideaki said.
"I will go tell Aya , Rika, Sakura and Tonami. I know they would not want to miss out on shopping."
Hideaki gave a slight frown, "What about Tsubasa?"
"She hates Annie. Isn't that obvious. I will invite her if you want, but I hope you are in for a little bit of her annoying attitude." Maho said as she made her way down the hall.
Everyone who was invited to the shopping trip showed up on time, except for Annie and Hideaki.
"What could be keeping those two?" Arima asked.
"Nothing. They are just being fashionably late." Yukino replied.
"There they are," Maho said, as she pointed in the direction where a plethora of shouts were emanating.
"How could you? You worthless fucking snake!" Annie stomped her way towards her friends.
"Annie! I swear! I didn't do this! Hell, I am just as embarrassed about it as you are!"
"Yeah, and how many more of your goddamn fucking art prints will you sell because of this?"
"I don't care about that! I care about you! I did not have a camera!"
"Hey, what are you two fighting about?" Yukino went up to Annie.
Annie handed her a tabloid newspaper. "This! Oh how could he Yukino!" She fought back tears.
In large letters, across the front of the paper, it read, 'Steamy Pictures Inside of Japan's Most Famous Youth Couple!' Yukino opened the paper to see several black and white pictures of Hideaki and Annie having sex. 'Love pictures of Asaba and Takishiro' read the words above the explicit pictures.
"Oh my god!" Yukino's face turned red and she dropped the paper. "Asapin! You pervert! I thought you really loved her? How could you?!" She embraced Annie.
"What is it?" Soichiro picked up the paper. Aya, Rika, Maho, Sakura, Tsubasa, and Tonami tried to get a look at the paper as Soichiro opened it to look.
"My god! Asapin! I knew you were a perv, but I didn't think You would stoop this low! Selling pictures to the tabloids!" Maho yelled as she also went protectively to Annie.
"Let me see! I can't see!" Tsubasa tried to push her way through her friends.
"I swear! I didn't do this! Do you think I would want anybody coming around to trash mine and Annie's places! I am in no mood to try and find another place to live! Hell, I have only been there a few months! I like my place! I love you Annie! I would never do this!" Hideaki shouted at the top of his lungs and ran off.
Soichiro handed the paper over to Tsubasa who was still nagging to see it. He quickly took off after Hideaki. "Asaba! Wait!"
Tsubasa blushed slightly as she looked at the dirty pictures. She got a slight smirk on her face. "Well it looks like little miss foul mouth is finally getting what she deserves."
"Tsubasa! You shouldn't talk like that! How would you like it if you got pictures of you having sex plastered all over Tokyo? Give me that! I want to know what bastard took these pictures! It has got to be here somewhere in the fine print!"
"Did you find it, Sakura?" Tonami asked.
"Yeah. It doesn't say who took the pictures or who sold them to the paper. But, It definitely wasn't Asapin."
"How do you know that?" Annie asked.
"Because it says that an anonymous young woman sold them the pictures at their offices. I seriously doubt Asapin could pass for a young woman. Well, maybe he could, but he hasn't had time to try. Do you think he could have made ninth place without studying almost constantly? Think about it. His schedule has been really hectic."
"I suppose you are right, Sakura. But then who? Not very many out of our little circle know where we live."
"Could it have been one of the cops?" Rika asked.
"I don't think so. It would damage the case against my dad. If these pictures haven't already done that."
"I don't think so." Yukino said, "Your sex life with your so called fiancé has nothing to do with the rape case."
"Lets go get you some iced tea and a sandwich. It will help you calm down." Maho said.
"Okay." Annie said as her friends led her to a nearby delicatessen.
Soichiro found Hideaki down a side alley, sitting on the ground, curled up in a ball, shaking.
"Hideaki, hey. It's me, your best friend, Arima. C'mon. She will get over it. She always does. I know you didn't do it, I know you would never pull that sort of stunt. You love Annie, and you know doing something like that would hurt her. You are the champion of women, you would do nothing to hurt any woman."
"She doesn't see it that way. She sees me as just one guy in the line to hurt her. I don't know whether she will get over it. Damn it! I have always have had women falling over me? Why do her words hurt like this!"
"Because, Asaba, You love her and would do anything to keep her. That is why you paint her and draw her so much. So if she is gone, you will still have her. I know how you feel. It gets that way with me and Miyazawa sometimes."
"Do you think I can ever get her back? Not just her, but her trust too?"
Hideaki raised his head and looked at Soichiro. Soichiro patted him on the back.
"C'mon. Maybe you can talk to her and settle things before this goes too far."
"I love you, man. thanks." Hideaki said as he got up, hugged Soichiro and walked with him back to where their friends were waiting before.
