Chapter 4

My Friend

---

Iida stepped towards his school with a black bag to the side. His body automatically walked as his mind filled with thoughts about what had happened on the weekend.

~~~

"I like you... You're pretty cool."

Iida's eyes widened, not leaving the (h/c) haired boy's lip the moment those words spilled out his mouth. His mouth hung loose, opening and closing as he tried getting a word out. His face slowly heated up as his mind was coming to terms with what (Y/n) had said.

"...Iida?" (Y/n) gave him a puzzled look and waved his hand in front of his face. "You good?"

IIda, not hearing any of this, was lost in his thoughts. He felt a huge wave of heat hit his body. Everything stopped as he finally came to a conclusion.

H-He likes me?...

BANG!

"IIDA!?" (Y/n) shouted as he quickly raced towards Iida's fallen body.

"H-Hey... Wake up." (Y/n) shook Iida's stiff body trying to bring him back to consciousness.

But his mind wasn't in his body...

It was in happy land...

He likes me!

After that, (Y/n) helped him out of the library and held him as they walked to Iida's house, which didn't help him. It just made him more of a mess.

~~~

Iida came to a stop and flushed as the embarrassment flooded back. He quickly covered his red face.

Why did that have to happen? He closed his eyes as he tried to hide himself from his own embarrassment. (Y/n)'s going to come up with the conclusion that I am weird.

Iida groaned and looked down, still covering his face, as he held onto the nearest wall around him.

But... Iida lowered his hand and took his hold off the wall. It was not so bad... I got to get closer to (Y/n)... Physically... His face heated up more, looking like a ticking time bomb.

Iida remembered how (Y/n) held his arm as he tried to pull him off the ground and the way his arms wrapped around his back to help him stand up.

Or when he placed Iida's arm around his neck and shoulders letting Iida feel the soft skin on the back of his neck. And when he let him lean on his body for support, Iida's face was so close to him that he could feel his hair brush on him and smell his scent.

It wasn't something big and strong, but soft and simple. A nice pleasant smell that can remind someone of home. He didn't smell like perfume, ointment, or flowers, just the smell of what his home was... with his shampoo.

I wish I could get another chance in the future to be able to get near him like that... Or maybe even closer...

Iida got out of his daze and quickly slapped his cheeks, leaving a red mark.

Tenya! You need to stop that right now. You shouldn't be thinking about other people like that. That is disrespectful and shameful. (Y/n) is someone to be respected and not viewed in such a way... even if you like them... At least I should wait until we become official...

Iida blushed as the thought of them being a couple spun around his mind. He slapped his cheeks again and pressed his brows together.

I need to stop before I faint again...
