School days went by like a breeze, time itself goes fast when we least expect it. It's the day before the weekend as now Y/n carrying boxes from a school storage room to the art class, having his first day being the club to be this day. His bruised on his sides and wrist begins to fade away, making him comfortable enough to wear a short-sleeved white collared shirt. Y/n feels better with attending Art club every Wednesday and Friday, and being around Asher and Chiharu on top of that.
Slowly spending less time with Tobias means he can avoid the black-haired boy crazy outbursts and weird sloppy kisses. Shaking his thought to forget that time at the rooftop, muttering himself. "Just forget." Reaching to the art room where he meets himself with other students waving at him, putting the box down which is filled with supplies. The young kids went over to him and went through the box, each getting a pack of pencils and erasers and some went to get a sketchbook.
The art teacher supervising the club told the students that they are going outside for today. They all including Y/n got their stuff and exit the Art room. Asher standing beside him, nudging his arm with his shoulder. "You like this so far?" He asks to which Y/n replies with, "A lot, this is enjoyable." With a smile. The two went on and talk about their favourite shows, looking forward to the weekend to watch the new episodes.
"Hey, I forgot to ask but, can I see your drawing Y/n asks, sounding curious since he let Ashers see his but he hadn't seen Asher's. In response, he runs the back of his head with a nervous laugh before looking down. "Just gonna warn ya, it's not so good." He said before opening his sketchbook, showing him a few sketches. Most of the drawings are overall pretty good, few body proportions are off, the anatomy isn't all accurate, and lines that aren't all good. But it's just fine.
"It's so good, what do you mean?" Y/n said with a laugh after he had taken a look. The silver-haired boy face lit up from the compliment, laughing along. "You think so? Thanks!" He replies. As again, the two kept on talking until the group reaches outside of the school. Where the track and the pool which is a bit farther can be seen, also the large and gorgeous flower field, it being the school's biggest pride as that field is taken with the utmost care.
The sun gleaming down on the fields looks so beautiful, just even the sight of it got all of Y/n's attention. The teacher went on and told the students to go around and do some sketches. Upon hearing that, Y/n went and hold Asher's hand and take them to a tree that is close enough to the school's flower field. A faint blush crept on Asher's face in the reaction to his hand being held.
The two sitting together with the flower field in front of them, taking out their supplies and opening up their sketchbooks and went on drawing the vast fields. Y/n glancing at the flowers before scribbling his pencil on the paper. Although it is quiet between them, Asher was staring at Y/n, admiring the beauty. His h/c hair flowing with the breeze, his e/c matches made his heart almost instantly fluttered. Asher, later on, found himself smiling, realizing that he quietly cursed at himself and turns his now tomato head away.
Does he, have feelings for Y/n, for a boy? Is that even normal at this point, could he be his first love? What would it be like for them to be together, he doesn't know but, he is willing to take the chance, turning his head back to Y/n. "H-hey?" He said, thinking about inviting Y/n to his house to hang out and start from there.
Y/n stopped drawing as he heard Asher, turning his head to his. "Yeah Asher?" He replies, tilting his head to the side a bit. That was enough to make the poor Asher stumble over his words, a lot. "Y-yeah u-umm...s-say, wanna-" Just to be cut off by the sound of someone yelling Y/n's name and shouting hi or hello. Y/n head turns around to see who's that as Asher looking annoyed, looking at the direction the sound came from.
It was Chiharu, waving like crazy as she runs toward Y/n and Asher. Stopping in her tracks, throwing her hands on her knees heaving and gasping for air, not being used to running a lot. Plopping onto the ground next to the two, fanning herself to become cool. "Ha...oh?" Glancing at Y/n's paper and then at Asher's
Seeing the details which reflect the flower field was enough to amaze Chiharu. "Woahh, it looks so cool!" She exclaimed. Asher raise a brow, not being familiar with the girl, "School is already over, why you still here?" He asks, masking his annoyed tone with a confused one. "I was on cleaning duty and just had happened to see you guys, I'm Chiharu!" She answers, introducing herself to the silver-headed boy.
Asher glances at her and then looks away, letting out a huff as he went on and starts sketching the flower field before replying with, "Asher." Before quietly scribbling away, still upset that girl Chiharu ruined his opportunity to hang with Y/n. Having to ask him that later.
Far away from the fields and into the school, Tobias staring out at the window from an empty classroom. Crossing his arm and rest his head on it as he stares at the exact spot Y/n is at. Doing so effortlessly despite being far. Singing a song to himself reminds him of his mother, not feeling emotional or anything because he misses her, just singing the song.
" Oh chérie, oh chérie, tout va bien."
Looking down at the floor where he continues to sing.
"Je te serre dans mes bras et te donne des tonnes de bisous."
Tapping his fingers against the window, staring back at Y/n which make the black-haired boy smile again.
"Teins-moi toujours fort dans tan sommeil. Parce que papa est méchant ce soir."
He finishes it off before turning away and exiting the empty classroom. Going down the flight of stairs, taking his time to reach the front gate.
Now the trio chatting away this whole time, Asher letting go of the small hatred for Chiharu as he learns that she is a nice person. Them bonding a friendship through Y/n. Feeling a slight buzz in his back pocket, Y/n takes out his phone, seeing that it is getting close to 5 pm. Telling the two that it would be best to head home. Closing his sketchbook and puts his stuff in his backpack. Asher doing the same while Chiharu holds her bag, waiting on the two.
"How about we go to the shopping area and have fun!" She suggested, going on how she got her allowance from her parents and it would be her treat. "Oh! Sounds great, you not so bad after all." Asher said, standing up while doing a couple of stretches. Y/n head perks up from hearing that, nodding as he does the same. Dusting off the grass and dirt bits off his clothes.
"Okay, there is also that dessert I wanna try at the shopping area," Y/n said before the three make their way to the school gates, waving the art teacher goodbye along the way. Y/n was about to talk about all of the things he is looking forward to in the shopping area until his eyes are met with Tobias. Seeing him smiling, running to him with a hug on the arm.
"Toby...what are you doing here? You suppose to be home." Y/n asks him, not knowing why he is here, he doesn't participate in clubs well from what he knows. Only receiving a shrug from the boy, "I got cleaning duty, that is why." He answers, holding Y/n hand as usual. Which made Asher annoyed but he doesn't say, shoving his hand in his pockets and turns his head away. Of course, Tobias notice that which make him smirk but, turned back to his usual "innocent" smile after that.
"Ah..oh, well why don't you go home then?" Y/n replies, wanting to get Tobias out of the way before he and the other two goes shopping. Seeing the black-haired frown and looked down, "But I've heard you talking about going shopping and all, I wanna join." He said, sounding sad as he looks up with a frown still on his face. Chiharu, looking at the two before stretching the surface of the straps which connects her bag.
Y/n, not wanting to sound and act like a bad person lets Tobias come with them. Letting out a deep sigh before saying, "Tobias is coming with us then." He mumbles, feeling like he has to take a younger sibling to where ever he goes. Now the four of them are walking together to the shopping district. The awkward tension was soon over washed by eating delicious desserts, some being cheesecake, mochi, or candied fruits. Chiharu being the one spending all of the money as 5 weeks worth of saving which is 200 dollars became mere 10 dollar bills and some change. Laughing nervously to herself as she looks at her small wallet.
Clearing her throat before putting it away. "Um, I'm getting broke soooo, who gonna pay for our stuff now?" She said with a wide smile, the scratching on the straps fastens. Y/n was about to raise his hand to be the one to do so since he saved some money, a far 120 dollars after saving for a week or two by going through couches for change most of the time. With, help from Tobias's. But Asher notices him and raise his hand high, "I-i will!" He almost shouted, which got the attention of a passerby who just looked at him and then went on with their business.
That made Tobias crack up, covering his mouth to muffle his laugher. Which earned him glares shot by Asher, returning with a wide grin. "Great! How about the bookstore?" Chiharu suggests, which to the group they agreed. Wandering around to be able to find themself the bookstore, entering the building before being scattered around to check out books, mangas, and stationery items too.
Chiharu going to the romance section, fawning over hot male characters while reading both the book and manga. Tobias on the other hand is not too close nor too far, keeping a close distance as he went through random genres, taking interest in a pen with a hidden knife. Whereas Y/n and Asher talking away, discussing their favourite shows like f/s (favourite shows) and all. This leads to Y/n asking Asher if he wants to come over to watch the new episodes on Saturday which he responds with a, "Yeah! Like absolutely!"
Chiharu spotting Tobias at the stationary items section, playing with the knife pen, tapping his shoulder. Having his turn his head to her, "What?" He asks, to which she responds, "Asher might have feelings for Y/n." She said before going off to look at more books.
"Asher might have feelings for Y/n."
That was enough to make the black-haired boy pissed, his grip in his right hand became tight. His legs feel weak and gone. Boiling rage is what only exists within him, wide eyes, furrowed brows, and gritted teeth. Not like the slightest bit of thinking someone will take away Y/n. But, it's a might, a maybe, this is the exact reason why he rather keeps people away from Y/n. Them getting too close and catching feelings for him.
Which is the reason why he almost beat that kid to death. The thought of them being with Y/n instead of him is not what he wanted, and he won't let that happen. As his anger still boils, a nauseous feeling emerges, crouching over the commercial shelves. Placing his left hand on his forehead, muttering himself. "I'm going to keep Y/n to myself, no one will get between us."
"T-Tobias, your hand is bleeding!" He snapped from his past state and see the cap of the knife pen is off and the blade met with his skin, seeing blood dripping down the floor. Not realizing that he stares at the floor and then his hand. Standing up and loosen his grip around the blade. Hearing noises of footsteps approaching him with a medkit and a mop, taking his hand and cleaning the blood with rubbing alcohol and wrapping it around with bandages.
During the whole process, Tobias feels nothing, his mind only focused on ways to get rid of Asher, his obstacle that is needed to be gone. With his possessive behaviour, and dangerous mood swings and all, stupid doesn't exist within him. Knowing what to do to rid of the filth that is in his Y/n's life.
Feeling a rub on his back, he turns his head to see
Y/n, comforting him? As he notices his hand is already patched up, he takes Y/n into an embrace, instead of his tight and suffocating one, it is rather, gentle and sweet. Like it emits a heartwarming feeling, and almost like a battery charge if tired from a long day.
Surprised, Y/n pause for a bit before his arms is wrapped around the black-haired boy. "Is everything alright Toby?" Which the boy nods in response, burying his face on Y/n's shoulder. Calming down from his upset and nauseous feeling, with him having Y/n in his grasp was enough for all that to disappear. "Can we go home?" Tobias replies with a mutter. To which Y/n agreed, holding his left hand, giving him a warm smile.
"Oh yeah uhm, can I pay for this? I don't want it to become a waste." Tobias asks one of the staff, he had used his shirt to wipe his blood off the blade and put the cap back. To which the staff nods, motioning him to come to the register. Letting go of Y/n and walks to the register. He put the pen on the counter as the staff scans the item and the price appears on the black small screen at the back of the register. Going through his pocket to take out the money for it and gives it.
The staff finally puts the pen in a little bag and hands it to him, "Be careful with your hand okay little guy?" Tobias doesn't say anything but nods, taking the bag and walks back to Y/n, holding his hand again. Chiharu was outside, reading one of the 14 romance novels and manga she had to make Asher purchase, giggling over the characters in the book. Asher was beside Chiharu the two already purchased their books from the store, waiting outside for Tobias. Y/n was the first to come back to check on him, now outside with the boy holding his hand. Tobias, hiding his bandaged hand in his pocket.
"Finally we were waiting for you, it's already getting dark," Asher said, grabbing his backpack which he had placed on the floor. Nudging Chiharu's arm with the point of his black leather shoes, getting her attention. "Whaaaatt? I was getting into the best part where the girl divorces her terrible husband to marry the hot and charming birdman!" She said, groaning loudly before stuffing her books back into the paper bag that was given by the staff in the store and pick both the paper bag and her bag.
"Yeah so, I and Tobias are going to head home early. Sorry about that, he had hurt himself." Y/n explains to the two, walking past them with a wave of goodbye. When Tobias, passes Asher, he doesn't have to say that Y/n is mine, get away from him or I'll kill you, or anything like that. Just a wide, shit-eating grin coming from Tobias before he turns his head and hugs Y/n arm. Pecking his cheek, which to Y/n raise a brow while looking at Tobias, "D-don't do that." He whispers to the boy, only receiving a laugh from him.
The two walking away from the shopping area and heads home. Leaving Asher jealous and angry at the fact Tobias was able to get so close to Y/n and all, shoving both of his hand in his pockets. "I will get back at him, yeah.." he said to himself. Lets not forget about Chiharu just yet, looking at Asher with a toothy smile. "You looking sad Ashy, how about we go to a store one late time before we can head home?" She asks, not wanting the fun day to end yet because Y/n and Tobias isn't here anymore.
Asher replying with a yes before following with a huff. The two walking away from the bookstore, now having to endure the rantings from the girl about the books she is reading. Later on wishing he heads home himself, listening to Chiharu as she explains the plot of one of the book called The Empress or something.
Tobias and Y/n weren't too far as doing a couple of turns there and then is all they need to do. "Y/n..." Tobias asks him, to break the silence. Him turning his head once he heard is name, "Yeah?"
"Promise me that we will be together, forever?" He asks, glancing at the concrete ground of the side wall before looking back Y/n with a genuine smile. Y/n didn't know there was this side of Tobias, seeing him calm, basically the opposite of his rough and unpredictable nature. He likes that, smiling back at him. "Promise Toby, I promise." Seeing that Tobias sticks out his pinkie finger, "Pinkie promise on top?" He asks again, which again Y/n said, "Yeah, with pinkie promise on top." Sticking out his pinkie finger and wraps it around Tobias's. The two sharing a rather wholesome laugh. Before they finally reaches home.
Being there just in time to eat dinner and head to bed as usual. To be together forever is actually deeper than what Y/n anticipated. That promise to be the main fuel for Tobias's future murder drive.
