~To The Story~

You felt Naoki's impatient eyes on you as you quietly munched on your lunch. He's been like this the entire day, no doubt wanting to hear the full story on what happened between you and Gakushu yesterday. And you would have told him everything if for not what Gakushu said to you.

"So..."

You flickered your gaze to your friend. "So?"

"So are you not going to tell me about your date yesterday?"

You fought back a blush as the tip of the chopstick rested in between your lips. "It wasn't a date."

"Date. Not a date. I don't care. I wanna know what happened." He then groaned out a whine. "Come on, I've been dying to know!"

"What is there to know?" You argued, annoyed by his childish demeanour.

"I have to know if the guy is good enough for you." Naoki puffed his chest, putting on a brotherly attitude.

Your eyebrow quirked upwards. "I need your approval?"

"I'm just looking out for you," he reasoned. "Some guys are complete scum bags. Did he compliment the outfit you were wearing? Did he offer to pay at the end?"

It suddenly felt like you were in an interrogation room.

"Uh... no." Naoki can be a romance at heart so you know he wasn't happy about your answer so you quickly follow up by saying something good about him. "But he did pay for everything at the end, despite me telling him about the discount I get."

"I bet he commented on the way you eat," Naoki snapped his finger then pointed his finger at you.

"What's wrong with the way I eat?!" You squeaked, your face completely mortified. Do you chew with your mouth open? Do you moan while you eat? If you did any of those things during your so-called date with Gakushu then you're ready to die right there and there.

"Nothing, nothing!" Naoki said hurriedly and started waving his hand. "It's just when you eat something you like, you tend to stuff your face to the point your cheeks are all puffy like a chipmunk. I for one think it's adorable."

A blush has spread across your cheeks and it reached the tips of your ears. Do you do that?! Even if you did, how come Gakushu hasn't said anything about?! Knowing him, he would have pointed it out!

"H-he didn't say anything about that!"

"Good," Naoki grinned. "Because if he doesn't find that adorable, then the guy is an idiot. What else happened?"

You sighed loudly. He's going to be like this all day, isn't he? "We just ate and talked. Then we took the train together. That's all I have to say."

When you concluded your vague story, you kept on eating, but Naoki noticed how you seemed more bitter than before.

"Something happened, didn't it?"

"Nothing happened." You muttered.

"(Y/n). You got a chance to hang out with the golden boy himself... Yenno... the guy you're crushing on. I would have expected you to be a bit more excited."

"Alright, alright." You caved in. If you don't tell him, he'll be on your case until next Christmas. "Look, Gakushu-kun didn't do nor said anything to hurt me... well, he did something but I know he didn't say it to hurt me directly."

Naoki hummed, keeping his mouth and letting you go on.

You softly sighed. "... Apparently he doesn't want a girlfriend."
