Aww, Ayu calls him Shu-chan XD Man, it sounds so much like a dog's name! XD Well, I'm glad she's being so honest with her fans, one of the best qualities you can ever get from a celeb. Normally celebs would go:
"We're just friends." *moving about shiftily*
Well, the very fact that she even mentioned about the little thing, haha, guess even she noticed the intimacy/closeness in the pics she saw

It might start with the pictures, the way Glitter did

Ah, wishful thinking, go away~
