Yuzu:
[Hey, you don't mind right?]
Kurou:
[Mind what?]
Yuzu:
[I think I'll be aiming for her]
Kurou:
[Huh!?]
Yuzu:
[I've never felt something like this before... it's really warm...]
Kurou:
[Huh? but you're always surrounded by girls! I doubt this is the first time you've fallen in love!]
Yuzu smiles as he blushes
Kurou:
(The hell!?)
Yuzu:
[Hey Kurou... I've also been meaning to ask you... What's your relationship with Mikane san?]
Kurou:
[We're... we're close friends]
Yuzu:
[... friends, huh? Mhm, got it]
Kurou:
[Huh? Got what?]
Yuzu:
[I'll try my best to make her fall in love with me]
Kurou:
[Please don't]
Yuzu:
[Why though?]
Kurou:
[It's just... it's complicated man]
(I'm still worried about Mikane...I don't know how she's feeling right now despite what happened to us last time... but she needs someone to make her feel better, right? Yuzu is not a bad guy...well, slightly...So why am I getting irritated!?)
Yuzu:
[I mean, since you're just friends you won't mind if I go out with her, right?]
Kurou:
[T-that's...true]
Yuzu:
[And you, being her friend, likes her as a friend ONLY, am I right?]
Kurou:
[Y-yeah...]
Yuzu:
[So there should be no problem, right?]
Kurou:
[...]
Yuzu:
[I'll take that silence as a yes]
Kurou gritted his teeth
Kurou:
[...just know that if you make her cry, you'll be loosing all your teeth]
Yuzu:
[Ahahah, nice joke man. But I won't, I promise... although seriously, that was a joke, right?]
Kurou walks off silently
Yuzu:
[Kurou!?...]
(I guess I'll be taking that as a no then...)
At the school gate.
Ena:
(The bell is about to ring, where the hell is he!?...Ah! Wait...is that him!? Oh my gosh! He changed so much! Anyways...)
[Y-yukitou-kun!]
Kurou:
[Hm? O-oh...uhm, good morning Harumi san]
Ena:
(Finally, I managed to talk to him)
[Uhm...H-how are you?]
(Gaaaah!!! What the heck is that!? I feel so nervous!!! Looking at him, he really did change so much!)
Kurou:
[G-good, How about you?]
Ena:
[Same...hehe...]
Few seconds of silence passed.
Yuzu:
(Damn, this is so awkward...)
Ena:
[By the way, I just wanted to ask if you're...uhm]
Kurou:
[...Hm? What is it?]
Ena:
[If you're uhm...uh...f-free-]
Kurou:
[...]
Suddenly
Kazuto:
[Hey guys, good morning!]
Yuzu:
[Eh? Kazuto senpai?]
Kurou:
[Ah, senpai good morning]
Ena:
(Noooo!!! I was about to say it!? Why did this creep have to intervene!?)
[Hello, K-kazuto senpai]
Kazuto:
[Hehe]
Earlier
Kazuto was currently walking to school.
Kazuto:
[Sigh]
(I wish Ena san wasn't that cold to me. I mean I'm a nice guy, so why does she tend to avoid me?)
[Sigh...hm?]
At the distance
Ena:
[Uhm...H-how are you?]
Kurou:
[G-good, How about you?]
Ena:
[Same...hehe...]
Kazuto:
(Is that her!? I better say hi- wait, who the fuck is that guy!? )
Ena:
[...]
Kurou:
[...]
Yuzu:
(Damn, this is so awkward...)
Kazuto:
(Why is she like that? Wait, is she getting hit on? Also that guy, I've seen him before...wait, that's the guy who was behind me when I confessed to Harumi san back then! That guy's face, I don't trust him. I must save her!!)
Kazuto ran towards them.
Kazuto:
[Hey guys, good morning!]
Yuzu:
[Eh? Kazuto senpai?]
Kurou:
[Ah, senpai good morning]
Ena:
(Noooo!!! I was about to say it!? Why did this creep have to intervene!?)
[Hello, K-kazuto senpai]
Kazuto:
[Hehe]
Kurou:
[It's unusual for you to be this late senpai.]
Yuzu:
[True]
Kazuto:
[That might be, but isn't it more unusual for you to be doing this in broad daylight?]
Kurou:
[What do you mean?]
Kazuto:
[Don't pretend to know. What you're doing is wrong]
Ena:
[Senpai, I think you're misunderstanding the situation]
Kazuto:
[Don't worry Harumi san, you don't have to try to save these idiots]
(Even though they're hitting on her, she's still very kind and considerate towards them. She's such an angel!)
[Please stop this right now and just go to your class. You're bothering her!]
Kazuto pushed Kurou.
Kurou:
[...!]
Yuzu:
[Hey! What are you doing!?]
Ena:
[Senpai! Stop! im not-]
Kazuto:
[Go!]
Kurou:
[Okay man! Jeez! You don't have to push me! Let's go, Yuzu]
Yuzu:
[...E-excuse us]
Ena:
[Wait! Y-yukitou-kun-]
Kurou looked at Harumi san with a depressed expression.
Kurou:
[Sorry for being a bother]
Ena:
[No, that's not what I wanted to say!]
Kazuto:
[So? are you just gonna stand there or what!?]
Kurou looked at Kazuto with a death stare. Kazuto suddenly felt chill all throughout his body.
Kazuto:
(This guy is nuts!)
Kurou and Yuzu left.
Kazuto:
(THAT WAS SO SCARY!! I DID IT!!! I MANAGED TO LOOK COOL IN FRONT OF HER!!!)
[S-so Harumi san...My offer still stands, don't you want to consider it-]
Ena looked at Kazuto with a pissed expression.
Kazuto:
(Eh!?)
[Uhm, is there something wrong?]
Ena:
[Kazuto senpai...]
Kazuto:
[Y-yes!]
Ena:
[As much as I respect you as a senior student]
Kazuto:
[...]
Ena:
[I can't help but think that you're starting to become incredibly ANNOYING! I admire your intellect and physical skills but that doesn't mean that I feel something for you.]
Kazuto:
[Eh? B-but why!?]
Ena:
[Senpai, don't you get it? I have no feelings towards you. So please stop getting close to me. It's really creepy]
Kazuto:
(Really creepy... really creepy...creepy)
Ena:
[Anyways, it's getting late. I'll be heading first]
Ena left Kazuto still standing in shock.
At Kurou's classroom, Class B.
Mikane approached Kurou
Mikane:
"Good morning, Yukitou kun"
Kurou:
[Good morning Mikane san]
Yuzu:
[M-mikane san, G-good morning!]
Mikane nodded her head in response.
Kurou:
(I need to control my instincts. Fuck, I almost raised my hand earlier. That would've been bad)
[Sigh...]
Mikane:
"Hm? What's wrong?"
Kurou:
[It's nothing...]
Yuzu:
[I feel you man]
Mikane:
[...?]
Kurou:
[...]
Yuzu:
[That was scary! I thought you we're going to start a fight with Kazuto senpai]
Mikane:
(Eh!? Fight!? Kurou!?)
Mikane looked at Kurou with a shocked expression.
Kurou:
[O-oh, y-yeah haha... that was scary]
Mikane was about wrote something. At that moment
Hana:
[Yukitou!]
Kurou:
[Hm? Akazawa san? Is there something you want to ask?]
Hana suddenly slapped Kurou. Everyone in the classroom became silent.
Kurou:
[...!]
Yuzu:
[...!]
Mikane:
[...!]
Hana:
[That's for hurting her again]
Hana left as she sat down on her chair.
Kurou:
[...]
Yuzu:
[B-bro...are you okay?]
Kurou:
(Just breathe in...)
*Exhales*
???:
[What just happened!?]
???:
[Akazawa just slapped Yukitou in the face.]
???:
[I bet he did something wrong.]
???:
[Eeh!? Again!? Does Yukitou ever do something good for once?]
???:
[He deserves it. I don't know what he did but he freaking deserved it. ]
???:
[It must be because he's so ugly. I mean I get irritated every time I see his face]
Kurou:
[...]
At that moment, Mikane grabbed Kurou's hand and guided him out of the room.
Yuzu:
[M-mikane!?...]
Mikane slowly gains speed as they started to run up into the building.
At the school rooftop.
As the door opens, Mikane stopped to even her breathing. She then looks at Kurou who was still shocked at what just happened.
Mikane held his hand. She then waved at him to check if Kurou notices her.
Kurou:
[...]
Mikane was getting worried and worried as she tries everything she can to make Kurou notice her. She grabbed his shoulders then she shook him. After that failed, she tapped Kurou's chest. Still no response.
Mikane:
(Kurou! Please say something! Just say something! Anything!)
Mikane started mumbling. It hurts her neck but she was trying her best to talk just to make Kurou notice her.
Kurou:
[... I'm weird right?]
Mikane:
[!!!]
Mikane shook her head.
Kurou:
[I don't even know what I did wrong. How careless of me. I think the reason why she's incredibly mad is because, maybe I did something really unreasonable. I hate myself]
Mikane suddenly hugged Kurou.
Kurou:
[What are you doing?]
Kurou suddenly felt something wet and warm on his chest. He then noticed that Mikane was crying.
Kurou:
[Huh? Why are you crying?]
Mikane shakes her head
Kurou:
[I see... don't worry. I'm already used to it]
Mikane:
[...!]
(Is this what you meant when it got worse!? Is this what you had to go through every single day until middle school!? Always getting mocked even when you did absolutely nothing wrong!)
