Chapter 9 - Kazuichi:

~3 months have passed~

Kazuichi made his way to his locker, his heart fluttering in anticipation. When he saw the small, blond figure waiting for him, he cheered in his exitedness. He jogged over to meet Fuyuhiko,

"H-Hey bro! How's it going?" He looked down at the smaller boy, his large golden eyes stared back at him. A newfound tenderness that seemed to contrast with his stern personality.

"I'm fine, how 'boutchu?" Fuyu responded as Kazuichi began to hastily grab at books in his locker,

"I-I'm doing great actually!" Kazuichi was always great when he was with Fuyuhiko. It was something about the hot-headed yakuza that lit a fire in Kazuichi's heart. They both gathered their things and headed to class together.

Kazuichi fumbled with his lock, twisting it every which way,

"Here-" Fuyuhiko said, pushing Kazuichi's hand out of the way to unlock it himself.

"You know my locker code?!" Kazuichi asked worriedly, however, Fuyuhiko's response was quickly cut short as a light piece of paper fluttered to the floor. It was an envelope, sealed with a heart shaped sticker.

"W-Woah! Do you see this dude? It's a-"

"Love letter." Fuyuhiko said sternly. Kazuichi stared down at him, Fuyuhiko's visage mirrored a distressed expression, which soon turned to a blank stare that Kazuichi was well acquainted with.

"I know right! This is my big chance!! I might finally get a girlfriend!" He said proudly before eagerly tearing open the letter to examine it's contents,

"'Dear Kazuichi Souda...'" He started to read the letter. Fuyuhiko didn't dare listen. He couldn't bear to hear another pour their heart out for someone who he himself had feelings for. Instead he just stared at Souda, studying his expression of glee. Fuyhiko, jealous, wished he could make Kaz feel so happy. Instead, some other person would, and the thought of Kazuichi being taken from him was horrific.

"'...meet me after school. I would really like to talk to you about this.' Wow! All I gotta do is wait!" He said, proudly punching the air. He turned back to Fuyuhiko as his euphoric state dropped. The Yakuza tried his best to shade his malcontent state, however, Kazuichi knew Fuyuhiko well enough to read his emotions perfectly.

"What's wrong?" Kazuichi inquired,

"Nothing." He said sternly before quickening his pace. Kazuichi jogged after him,

"H-Hey wait-" He said before he grabbed Fuyuhiko by the wrist, "Can we talk? Please?" Fuyuhiko, now agitated, struggled and yanked himself out of Kazuichi's grip, allowing himself to escape from the situation, leaving Kazuichi in the halls by his lonesome. 

(NOTE: Sorry for the long wait! I was away for like a week for new years and my lathergic state of mind stuck around longer than expected. Happy New Year! Let's beat this virus together!
