(A/N Notes: I'm bored and unmotivated)
It was after school, some minutes after the end of the classes, and Takeru was putting on his outdoor shoes, and as he was doing so he heard steps behind him, making him turn his head to see who it was and he accidentally met his eyes with Yuriko's eyes
"Ah!..."
"Ah!..."
And they both averted their gazes to the side with a small blush in their cheeks, due to their own reasons caused by the photo Takeru gave to her
"S, so... Y, you're going home earlier today, Y, Yuriko-senpai?"
"Huh? Ah! Y, yeah... T, the school decided to cancel all after school activities due to some reasons, T, Takeru-kun"
After some seconds of not looking at each other, they managed to calm down their voices
"I see... So do you want to go home together?"
"Yes, I'd love to"
And Yuriko put her outdoor shoes, and the two of them went home while walking beside each other, without looking at each other directions and with a weird silence between them, until they were near their apartment building
"Ah! I almost forgot... About our date this weekend..."
"Huh? Ah! Yes! The date... Yeah... I think we should reschedule it for a later date"
"Thank you for understanding, Takeru-kun"
"You're welcome, Yuriko-senpai"
And they kept walking until they reach their homes
"See you tomorrow, Takeru-kun"
"Yes, see you tomorrow, Yuriko-senpai"
They both entered their homes at the same time, and also their legs lost strength at the same when they entered, making both of them slid down to the floor with their backs on the door
" "Haa... That was really nerve-wracking... I don't I'll be able to look her/him, face to face tomorrow..." "
<... Whenever I look at her that image of her changing always comes to my mind...>
<... Whenever I look at him that feeling of embarrassment always come back...>
< <... Alright! Let's make sure to not look at her/his face until I can erase that from my mind!> >
They would only return to look at each other on the face after 3 weeks had passed, and right now it was lunchtime
"Long time no see, Takeru-kun"
"*Nods* Yeah, it has been quite a while since we last looked each other face to face, Yuriko-senpai"
Yuriko sat down as she put her bento on the table
"... Don't you think you're a little too close today?"
"Just let this one pass, because I haven't seen your plain face for 3 weeks"
Yuriko had sat down right by Takeru's side
"... *Sigh* Fine, just this once"
He rolled his eyes as he conceded to Yuriko
"Thanks!"
And they ate their lunches while enjoying the cool shade of the tree, and after they finished eating their lunches the did some meaningless chat
"Ah! That's right, Takeru-kun. Could we exchange contacts?"
"Huh? Sure... Just give me a sec, here"
"Thank you"
They both exchanged contacts with each other
"Takeru-kun, about that date we agreed on, is this weekend fine with you?"
"Of course, I don't have anything planned for this weekend... At least nothing important"
"That's great! Then can we meet each other at 10 AM in front of our homes?"
"Sure"
"Then it's settled! See you later, Takeru-kun"
"Yeah, see you later, Yuriko-senpai"
*Buzz buzz*
Takeru picked up his phone that had just received a message, and when he saw who was the one that sent him a message he immediately made a bad face
"... Good thing, I'll have that date with Yuriko-senpai on the weekend... Since I'll be able to avoid my brother for the most part"
It was his brother who had sent him a message saying that he would be coming to his place this weekend, and Takeru particularly found his brother to be too annoying to endure
Meanwhile
"Humm... P, prez. Nanami-san?"
"Yes? What do you want, vice-president Yamamoto-kun?"
Yuriko answered Daichi's call with a cold tone
"Huh... Hmmm... Y, you know... I... I, I would l, like to... Apologize about those photos!"
"... I see... I accept your apology"
Yuriko softened her tone, but she was still angry at him
"Really! T, then how about we go-"
"Before you continue, I already have a date with Takeru-kun this weekend"
"WHA!? T, then h, how about-"
"The next weekend you want to ask? Maybe I'll go on another date with Takeru-kun or do something else"
"... W, why... Him?..."
"Why him? Hmmm... Because he's my friend, he's quite the likable guy and most importantly..."
Yuriko then placed her left hand on his right shoulder as she passed by his side, and said with a freezing tone
"He doesn't keep perverted photos of me behind my back."
"..."
That was enough to leave Daichi standing in place while trembling in fear
Yamada at that moment
"..."
He was completely bandaged from head to toe and was still feeling the physical pain of being the main target of the girls' wrath. He was also literally throw out of the moral committee alongside the other male members
"So how are you feeling, man?"
"... *Murmuring*"
Because of the bandages on his head, he was unable to properly talk and could only murmur
Evening
Yuriko and Takeru were already inside their homes, spending the time they had before sleeping on menial stuff
*Stretching herself* "That was an interesting first chapter, let's see how well the story progresses afterward"
Yuriko then looked at her phone laying on the table
"... Hmmm" *Closes eyes*
While Yuriko was troubled at whether calling or not Takeru this late in the night was alright. Meanwhile, Takeru was having a problem of his own
"I'm totally screwed... This coalition war just crippled my armies, navies, and economy... And there's already another coalition forming goddamnit"
He was playing a grand strategy game, and his nation was in a horrible situation right now. Then his phone started ringing, and he saw that Yuriko was calling him
"Good evening, Yuriko-senpai"
//Yes, good evening, Takeru-kun//
"..."
"..."
"... So... Why did you call me?
//Ah!... Well... I just wanted to have a little chat with you//
"I see... So what do you want to talk about?"
//Hmmm... How about... How are you doing right now?//
"... *Looks at his computer monitor* ... I'm doing great!"
He wasn't doing great... At least in the game
//That's good//
"Right... And how about you? Are you doing good right now?"
//Yup! I'm doing really good right now//
"Good for you... *Sigh* I'm going to hang up, I'm feeling pretty tired right now"
//Okay, good night, Takeru-kun//
"Thanks, good night for you too, Yuriko-senpai"
And he hanged up from the call, then looked at the monitor again
"... I'll try to salvage this situation tomorrow"
And he went to his bed after turning off the lights as he tried to visualize ways to deal with that prickle of a situation in his game. Meanwhile, Yuriko was looking at her phone screen with a small happy smile
"Really... Those two would toy with me by how I just looked right now if they were here"
Under Takeru's number, there were two other contacts with unread messages, that were from her childhood friends, who were studying in another school, she read the messages and answered then, before going to sleep
"*Yawns* I guess, I'll go to sleep too"
Yuriko then turned off the lights and went to sleep in a happy mood
