Chapter 69 - Chapter 68

(y/n) P.O.V. 1st Person

I was on my way out of the class when I saw Yacchan, "Ah, hey." He nods. It's been awkward since he told me everything in the old school building.

"Ah, (y/n)-senpai!" Kashima greets me. Yacchan glances between us, biting on his lip he turns his head as he lets out a 'tch'. "Come on, I found a new shortcut to the club room!" Kashima grabs my hand pulling me down the hall.

"Huh? Since when were you so excited to go to club meetings?" I ask.

He blushes, "Ah, since I got to do it with (y/n)-senpai I've been looking forward to it."

He keeps going, "Slow down, you're pulling too hard."

He listens, "Sorry, I just wanted to hold your hand." He chuckles a little, letting my hand go before wrapping his arm around my shoulder.

I look away shyly, "For the record, I'm not doing it again just because you're touching me."

He gives me a surprised expression, "Ah, does this turn you on?"

"No, it's not like that. It's just..."

"(y/n)! Kashima!" Akemi happily greets. "Didn't think I'd run into you two this way." Itome was there too.

"Did you know about this shortcut too?" Kashima asks.

"Mmhmm, I was just coming to tell you that we're gathering so soon because Kon-chan said he'd treat us all to ice cream today. He felt bad for not being able to help us move and wanted to congratulate us."

I nodded. Toono showed up, and Kashima soon went to talk to him. I was a bit relieved, I needed a little space after yesterday. They had told everyone they weren't dating, but I guess I could see some chemistry between them.

"(y/n)-chan, do you like ice cream?" Itome asks.

"Yes," I smile, I lean back against the fence, digging my hands into my pockets. "I probably eat too much, but I want it so much that I just can't control myself when it comes to some sweets." I chuckle a little to myself.

"Me too," he smiles, "I understand that feeling."

"Really?" I ask, "But you're so lean and tall!"

"I wasn't talking about sweets. I like ice cream though." He stares down at his feet in thought.

"Then what did you mean?" I ask curiously.

He wraps his fingers around the fence next to me, "When there's something I want, I can't control myself."

"Kon-chan is ready! Let's go pick some ice cream!" Akemi shouts.

Itome holds his hand out to me, his expression quickly turning back, "Well, I guess we should get going."
