He looked at the one pointing the fork towards him with confusion.

" You know I read in a book that silverware is very useful."

Everyone was looking his way. They knew this masterful technique all too well. He had honed the skill to an unparalleled degree.

Lily: " He's doing it."

" I mean, aren't forks like really cool?"

Toast: " Yeah, he's doing it."

" What forks do you guys prefer? The plastic or silver one?"

Rae: " What the hell are you talking about?"

Truly, truly, truly masterful dodging skills. If he had been playing dodgeball, he would have avoided all the balls expertly. 

Yvonne: " Maybe you want me to read an exert from this?"

She pulled out some kind of object from behind her back. It was rectangle shaped.

" Where did you get that?", he asked, his wariness increasing.

Rae: " Oh, that's the diary you were showing me earlier."

" Did you see or hear any of what was inside?!", he said immediately.

Lily: " Oh, that diary...."

Toast: " What a fun lunch this is. I'm enjoying myself."

Rae: " I'm feeling left out. "

Yvonne: " Don't worry about it, I guarantee you won't feel like that after you hear the first page."

She kinda wanted to get him back on what had happened.

" P-please don't read it out loud!"

Unfortunately for him, she had already started her little recital.

Yvonne, reading the page:
" Today again, I got reminded of how cute she is. "

Rae: " Ah."

"Woo!" sounds were blasted as he tried buring his face within his hands.

She continued reading, all proud.

Yvonne: " Sure ,she may have hurt my nose but..."

It wasn't too long before she got interrupted.

Rae: " Wait a minute!"

He tried to make himself visible as little as possible.

She started back to the line she left of.

Yvonne: "  But she's so adorable when she does it, I can't stand it."

The colour of the cheeks of the personn referred in the diary changed . They had now the same teint as an apple.

Rae: " Y-you like it!?"

Yvonne: " So, do you get what I was saying now?"

Rae: " M-maybe."

A boost of confidence urged trough him at that exact moment, he didn't feel like hiding it anymore. He wanted to get over the incident as quickly as possible so she could understand.

" You are cute, what of it?"

This comment had made her stand still, looking at him in the eyes, as if she was waiting for something more.

The others, considering about leaving them space had left the room one by one.

"Actually, about this morning."

She was taken aback, she didn't expect him to mention it.

Rae: " Yes, when's the marriage?"

" I already told you, it's not like that!"

Rae: " How is it, then?"

He hesitated a moment before deciding to tell her.

" When you asked about that secret, I couldn't tell you."

A feeling of irritation was risen within her until he followed trough he was trying to say.

" B-because you were the secret."

Rae: " Ah. How can I be a secret? I don't get it."

Deep down, she knew what he meant in a sense, but she wanted him to say it to confirm what Yvonne had been saying.

" I meant to say it to you."

Rae: " Like, you like me?" , she asked looking the other way.

She was surprised.

" It's more than that, I love you more than anything."

She didn't expect him to hold such strong feelings of affection. 

This morning, she had noticed something. When "he said" those words to Yvonne, she had felt a strong grip on her heart, like it had been ripped apart. She wanted to him to understand this sentiment as well.

Rae: " Please, don't look the other way ever again."

" I won't"

She stood up and and walked towards him.

She punched him in the stomach. It wasn't an impactful punch, it was a punch filled with affection.

Rae: " Next time, be more clear!"

And so, the " Torture" continued as they provided the other a quite entertaining spectacle.

P.s: Next one shot is the final one. It'll take a long time to release. I'm still working on it, I'll write intermission chapters  for each one shots before releasing the start of the final one. I kind of feel comfortable finishing the story on the next one. I'll probably also correct some "compact text" errors or grammar ones in the meantime.
