Chapter 10 - Chapter X

"Hey…"

"Yeah."

"To think that it's going to be the Art Club put of all clubs here in Inuzaki Academy."

"And what's more, Akishira is the president of the Art Club."

"Will they be okay having 'that boy' in their club?"

Aoi wears a frown as she heard the whispers of the students that they passed by while Kiara glare daggers at them and Keiji and Nite only remain quiet.

'Don't they realize that their words are hurting someone?'

'These shitty brats… Who do they think they are to talk ill about someone who they don't even know?'

'I guess it's normal for the society too judge people that easily, huh. What a great society I was born in.'

The trio thought and as if Nite could read their thoughts, he speak up and told them to just ignore the comments of the other students.

"Ignore them, it's normal for them to talk about me like that."

Nite said as they turn into the corner and finally the annoying students were out of their sights.

"Besides, I'm used to it already. It's not like I care about their shitty side comments."

Keiji laugh at Nite's words while Kiara only heave out a sigh.

"You should do something about it sometimes, you know. Just because you're used to it doesn't mean you'll let it be."

Kiara sigh.

"Since I'm part of the Art Club, I'll try to do something about it. But I won't promise. Because I'm the kind of person that finds the idea of proving one's self to others is a bother"

Kiara couldn't help but to let out a sigh again while Keiji let out a short laugh.

They chat as they continue walking and starts to notice Aoi's silent and Keiji call her.

"Aoi."

Keiji called out causing the brown haired girl to look up wearing a visible frown.

"What's wrong?"

Kiara ask, a little worried when she notice her frown.

Aoi look to the side and heave out a small sigh before speaking.

"You could have said something earlier at their side-comments, yet you didn't, why?"

Aoi furrow her brows a little as her frown widen and before Nite could answer, Aoi cut him off.

"Please don't answer me with what you said earlier, it's unpleasant."

Aoi huff causing Nite to look at the brown haired girl with blank eyes.

"I can't answer you if that's the case then, unless you want me to answer you with a lie. But you don't like me to answer you with a lie, do you?"

An irk mark appear on her forehead at Nite's remarks.

"Then why?! Why didn't you said anything about it?! If this keeps, they'll trample on you! Being trample is the worst feeling, you know. It feels like you're the lowest scumbag in society."

Aoi exclaimed but whispered the last two parts before hanging her head low.

Kiara and Keiji didn't heard the last two parts of what she said, but Nite heard it loud and clear since he's only few inches away from her.

"I know that it makes you upset, but its fine, as long as they're only talking about me. But if they starts to talk ill about the Art Club, then that's a different story."

Nite said while Keiji nod his head at the black haired boy's words as if he's a father who got satisfied with his son's choices of words causing Kiara to let out a scoff which her twin didn't failed to notice and sent a glare at her.

Nite look at Aoi who is hanging her head low in upset causing the brunette to heave out a heavy sigh catching the blonde twins' attentions.

"Fine then. I'll try to do something about it because if I don't, you're going to be upset for who knows how long."

Aoi look up with a quite widen eyes that glints with glee.

"But I won't promise that I'll do it, I don't want to make a promise I can't keep, that's an unpleasant feeling."

He added, rubbing his temple before turning his attention back to Aoi.

"That's okay, at least you'll try. I'm okay with that. Just try your best about it, okay? I don't want any of my friends suffering from bully."

Aoi smile genuinely and sweetly at Nite causing his eyes to widen as pink dusts tinted his cheeks.

"Do your best, Nite-kun."

Aoi smile and pat his shoulders a couple times before walking passed him.

"Oh? First-name basis already, I see. Well, aren't you fast."

Kiara smile playfully and let out a light chuckle before following the brown haired girl.

"Nite."

Keiji put a hand on his shoulder before continuing.

"Get used to that damned beautiful smile of hers, or else you won't last long and you'll be killed by an angel."

Keiji smile and it didn't take a minute for that smile turns into a menacing smile and his grip on his shoulder tighten when he notice that he's not listening to him causing Nite to flinch a little before looking to his side.

"I said get used to it, not fall in love with it, you brat. She's too good for any human because she's an angel."

Was Keiji's last words before calling Aoi gleefully and follow the two girls.

'Such protective person… She's not even your sibling or girlfriend. It's up to me if I fall in love with that smile of hers or not, it's my choice. But wait… Why am I saying this all of sudden?'

Nite furrowed his brows at the thought before heaving out a sigh and rub his temples.

'It seems like I've grown attach to that kindness and smile of hers. Among the smiles that I've seen, her smile is one of the most beautiful genuine smiles I've ever seen.'

Nite thought as a small smile made its way into his lips and let out a light chuckle, pink dust still tinting his cheeks.

"Keiji is true, I should get used to that smile. Or else, I won't last long."

He chuckle to hisself before resume walking to the Art Club.
