Chapter 14: You are so damn right!
As soon as the lunch break started, I wanted to run out of the classroom like a rabbit. I was sure that at the club activity after school, the other club members Would connect this morning's incident with my absence on the weekend pursuing me for this and that, but until then, I wanted to stay as low as possible. And yet...
"Where are you going, Amanika-san? We promised to have lunch together, didn't we? Isn't it you who insisted on having lunch today and together~ I went to a lot of trouble to make you a lunch box, but you Won't eat it ..?"
Yes. I was captured by Akeshi-kun.The smirk on Otsuki-San's face made me salty. You've got to be kidding me, you little bitch. I want my peace back. I want to have a pass to punch this female homosapiens.
"I made this Hamburg steak yesterday. You said it was delicious, and wished you could have it for lunch, so I got up early to make it."
(A/N: It's not the meat on a hamburger; it's the Japanese version of a Salisbury steak, simmered in a sauce.)
Yes. Akeshi-kun cooked dinner for us last night as he had announced. The meat juices that poured out of the pan showed that the meat Was just as good as the ones you would get at a restaurant. The beefy flavor of the meat and the sweetness of the pork fat were there, and it Was soft, tender and very tasty.
"And .. I have always wanted to try eating lunch with someone l love, can I? Since you know my situation so I didn't have much time to fall in love like this."
'Of course, you can.' I blurted out but thank goodness that I said that in my mind. How could I say no to someone with lowered eyelashes and an anxious look on their face? And god, the stares of these people around me! It's killing me!
"Akeshi-kun's homemade bento! I feel like dying from envy!"
"Is she going to turn down such a invitation for lunch!? Why should she refuse!? I will kill her if she does!"
"Hey, did he say he made it last night? No way, could it be they're living together!? What kind of romance development is that? No, isn't that like development in those 18+ otome games ?"
The woman's hate-filled stares and murderous whispers pierced through my body. Only one girl said it was like an 18+ game, but that's out of line for her age. Well, I do agree that it's a novelistic development, though. Incidentally, the guys said:
"How noble of you, Tarazune-san... I wish I could meet someone like such qualities soon."
" I am jealous that he can cook so well, and that he makes bentos for the people he loves... I should try cooking too."
" I heard that there are a lot of people who are interested in Amanika-san, the ace of the Piano team, but she has no chance against Kazuha-san. Like Higure-kun, the early bird gets the worm."
All right. Let's pretend I didn't hear anything. Why? Because Akeshi-kun, who had moved next to me quickly, was emanating with a silent pressure. If I were to say I am actually quite popular?, It was easy to imagine what would happen next. Although he knows I am but would still hate it.
"You only need to look at me, Amanika-san and in exchange I will only look at you too."
I resented the fact that I had a personality where my thoughts would easily show up on my face. I didn't even have to say it out loud, she beat me to it. He also gave me a big smile while crossing his arms tightly. And while I was stunned, the classroom echoed with the gnashing of teeth of the men and the squeals of the girls.
"Alright so this is what you are up to huh mother fucker!?" a white haired guy came behind us. I almost jumped but Akeshi-kun held my hand tightly and made sure I didn't jump in surprise.
"*Sigh* unlike you Ming I am not into incest my dear friend ~." Akeshi-kun's voice was dripping with smugness.
'This is my first time hearing him sound like this..' I thought as I looked at the two guys who were looking at each other with a glare and the room felt as if it was frozen and the time was unable to work properly. The air was filled with tension and it was getting hard to breathe for everyone in the room.
*Clap* *Clap*
"Lets calm down okey. We don't want our reputation to be on the dirt." Another boy with black hair which was really long came in the room and attempted to stop them.
"*sigh* man I just wanted to have some love moment with my lover. Is that too much to ask?" Akeshi-kun asked the two.
"Yes it is!" and the two replied almost instantly.
Wait now that I think about it the white haired guy--
"Lets talk at home shall we? I will get going." he walks off without caring about the trouble he caused for me.
But I... shouldn't be having fun here.
"Not going to lie you are in a big trouble after trying to have Tarazune-san for yourself.."
"You are damn right about it Shinji! And I don't regret it at the very least!"
And I have this beautifully cooked food for me made by my love.
I took a bite out of it and gosh it tastes good
