This week is also coming to an end, and I still haven't started studying for my exams. Last night instead of studying, I ended up reading a light novel. Why am I like this?
I was walking with Tsūn back to our class from the cafeteria. He was drinking so soda that he got from the vending machine. I was shaking the bottle of choco milk because the chocolate coagulates at the bottom of the bottle otherwise.
We were walking past the staircase near our classroom when I noticed Yasurouka and Gaisen climbing up the stairs while talking with each other.
It was weird that Kizhashi wasn't with them. I rarely see Yasurouka and Gaisen together without her. Gaisen looked at and smiled, while Yasurouka looked at and sighed. What was this difference in reaction?
Tsūn called out to him as both of them walked up and stood in front of us. "Yo, Gaisen-kun, and Yasu-san."
"Yasu-san?" Yasurouka tilted her head in confusion as Tsūn called her with a na he had never used before.
"Ah, Shi…" Gaisen sighed.
"Yes, short for Yasurouka-san. Your na is too big, so I thought of a nickna." He smiled and looked at her.
"I see…" she said in a hesitant voice with a frown on her face.
"Well, you can call Tsū-kun, or Yuki-kun. That way it will be even between us." He sipped the milk in his hand.
"I'm going to stick with Yukimura-kun. But you can go ahead with your nickna." She gave him a thumbs up with a slight smile.
"He is just so carefree." Gaisen patted Tsūn's back. Right now we're standing blocking the staircase, so I suggested they leave the way as I walked to the side and stood next to a wall.
The way we were standing, Yasurouka was standing in front of with her back towards the wall. I noticed her gazes towards my hand, as I was shaking the bottle.
"Are you trying to disintegrate the milk at a molecular level?" She said and rolled her eyes.
"Tsk, nerd!" I clicked my tongue. I wasn't annoyed though, I was just ssing with her.
"What did you call ?" She retorted back.
"Nothing, it's just that this tastes good after shaking." I avoided that question and told her what I really was doing.
"That's what she said." Hearing say that, Tsūn comnted this in an instant as he and Gaisen burst out in laughter. Looking over at her, I could see the corners of her lips curved as she controlled her laugh because this was a really immature joke.
"Are you in middle school?"
"Huh!? You used to do these things in middle school?" Though it might look like he was the innocent one among the three of us, but Tsūn and I did our best to corrupt him.
"Shut up?"
"So you're accepting that you used to shake in middle school?"
"You…" I didn't continue what I was saying as I heard a small chuckle coming from Yasurouka.
I finally sighed, and decided not to pay them any attention, as they were laughing at that la joke. Sotis I wonder if I have a bad sense of humour or if it's the other way around.
"What are you laughing for? Huh!?" I said in a rough tone at her smiling face.
"Ooooh, really scary Mister Jerker." She laughed. I swear whenever these three are together, I'm the one who gets trashed one. This made rember the ti when I walked back with them and she took a photo of my face. Tsūn made s from that.
I tore off the straw which was attached to the side of the paper bottle with my other hand but it was inside a plastic cover so I had to tear it off. I held the bottle at the edge with my teeth and tore off the plastic cover.
Suddenly, I was pushed from backwards with such force that I had to use both of my hands to support myself. My hands slamd on the wall with a loud noise that seed to startle Yasurouka, standing in front of with a shocked expression on her face.
The straw fell from the hand of course, and looking at her cheeks slightly tinted in red colour, I could help but feel my heart beat getting faster. This was sothing I wasn't prepared for, so it took off guard.
She wasn't looking at , instead her eyes were focused on my shoes. I knew she was embarrassed, that's why she couldn't look in the eye.
I quickly withdrew my hands from around her and took the bottle in my hands from my mouth.
"Sorry." I said in a plain tone, trying my best to not show that I was embarrassed in that mont too.
"It's...umm... It's okay." She gave an awkward smile, closing her eyes, and trying to make it as genuine as she can at that mont.
I heard the faint chuckles of Tsūn and Gaisen. I shifted my gaze towards them and they looked away. Probably at that ti, my face may have looked like I was pissed off, but I wasn't at all.
"Also, don't give that smile. Hate that." I said that to Yasurouka as she stopped smiling and shrugged.
"And here I was trying to be nice to you." She shook her head in disapproval.
"You're more cute when you're being bashful." I said. I could feel both of their gazes at , but still I decided to flirt a bit with her, because why not?
Hearing the comnt I made, she again blushed slightly, but this ti her lips curved into a smile, and it looked like she had sothing to say.
"You're also…" Before she could finish her sentence, the bell rang, and it was ti for us to return to our class.
"What?" I asked, since she couldn't complete what she was about to say.
Looking at in the eyes with her cherry coloured cheeks, she stared at for a few seconds before nodding her head in denial and rushing back towards the class. "Nothing… Idiot! Jerk!"
Even though the last part wasn't necessary, she still said that and sohow I feel like she was about to say sothing good about , which is a really rare event depending on how unromantic things are between us at this mont.
I looked towards Tsūn who was giving a suspicious look with slanted eyes as he asked, "What was that?"
"What?"
"Aren't you friends with her? Or at least that's what you told ." He wiggled his eyebrows.
"Well, we indeed are. Why are you asking?" I decided to annoy him a bit.
"Well… friends don't flirt like that." He emphasised on the word 'friend'.
"Well… it is what it is." As I said that, Giasen chuckled looking at both of us.
"No, it's not. Just accept that you're hitting on her."
"I'm not." I again denied his claim.
"Bruh!" He replied. He was definitely getting pissed off, and I was enjoying it.
"Oi, let's head back." Gaisen said, while walking towards the class. After a few monts of staring showdown between and Tsūn, we also followed him to the class.
