Hi! I’m a huuuuge fan of your D:M series! And I would really like to thank you for writing it! I thoroughly enjoyed the whole series and it has inspired me to start writing again! I liked all the couples in the series! Haha, I’m quite interested to find out more about Hayama/Izuki couple! They seem interesting! If it is possible, would you be able to write something about them? Thanks for writing the D:M series, it’s a wonderful one!

“So, like, do you have
a boyfriend now?”

Izuki eyes his younger
sister. All things considered, her question is not completely off track, but
he’s not entirely sure how she could know that. “What brought you to
that conclusion?”

“He had dinner at our
house,” Mai says.

“Hyuuga has dinner at
our house all the time,” Izuki says. “And I told you, Hayama missed his train—”

“Yeah, yeah, and the
next train wouldn’t be for awhile, I heard you,” Mai says, rolling her eyes.
“But, like, he laughed at all our jokes.”

“Our jokes are funny,”
Izuki defends.

“Our jokes are hilarious,”
Mai says, “But you have to admit, most people who are not in this family don’t
tend to agree with that.”

Izuki nods because yes,
this is a sad but true statement regarding their jokes.

“Also, why are you
even playing with someone from a different school anyway?” Mai says. “Wouldn’t
it get weird for tournaments?”

“I’d only ever play
him in nationals, so, not really?”

“Nationals? He doesn’t
go to a Tokyo school?”

“No,” Izuki says, but
then he grimaces because maybe he had been neglecting to actually
mention… “He goes to Rakuzan.”

“Rakuzan?” Mai
yelps. “In Kyoto? And he was visiting you here?”

“It’s not that—weird,”
Izuki says, realizing that it probably is.

“Oh my God!” Mai says,
bursting into his room the next day. “Do you know who he is?”

“Who?” Izuki frowns.

“Your boyfriend! Hayama Kotarou! He’s a super genius basketball player.”

“Uh, yeah, I did know
that. And he’s not my boyfriend.”

“He has appeared in magazines,”
Mai says. “He’s being professionally scouted! His family is super rich!”

“They are?” Izuki
says.

“He goes to Rakuzan,
of course they are! You don’t just have a boyfriend, you have a boyfriend who
is way out of your league!”

“Hey!”

“Don’t get me wrong,
Nii-san, I wholeheartedly approve. You found a rich, successful man who laughs
at our jokes. For the love of God, marry him.”

“Get out of my room,”
Izuki says.

“Fine, I have to go
tell mom and Nee-san about your knight in shining amour.”

Izuki pauses, laughs,
and then nods, “Yes, that was a good one, but he’s not my boyfriend so cut it
out.”

“Are you kidding me?
There are millions of unexplored romantic themed puns this family has yet to be
able to utilize, we’re not letting this one go any time soon.”

A/N: Hahaha, thanks
friend! I am glad you enjoy the series and the HayaIzu! Sorry for the lack of
actual Hayama in this one, but I all of the sudden had an intense desire to
write Izuki interacting with his family. The hardest part of writing this rare
pair ship is having to come up with puns. Hope you enjoyed!
