09. Secrets

I heard a cough from behind. It was Nanami-san, he was awake. He saw me and Yuji embracing. He has the wrong idea! But how can I tell him that I don't even think of Yuji as a man! This is it, I just lost my chance to tell him how I felt. If I say anything now he will just take it as an excuse! Why is nothing going my way today!?

"Nanami-san I wasn't-"

"It's fine Y/n. You don't have to explain it to me. I'm sorry for disturbing you both I'll be on my way now."

He adjusted his watch picked up his blazer and started to walk away.

Yuji looks at me realising what he had just committed,

"AAH! I'm sorry he must've got the wrong impression about you and me Y/n- it's my fault-"

I hand him my jacket,

"It's fine! I won't let my chance escape me! I'm gonna chase him could you drop that by my room before dinner!?"

I tell while running.

"Sure Y/n!"

He screams back laughs scratching his head.

I probably haven't run any faster in my whole life. I search the woods before running back towards the school. I see him standing near the back entrance, I ran up to him yelling his name.

"Nanami-san! I have something I need to tell you-"

"Oh if it isn't Y/n."

I should've just waited for my chance to talk to him again. I didn't even see him standing there, speaking to that despicable man, Toji.

"Hello, Mr. Fushiguro sorry to interrupt you but I need to talk to Nanami-san."

"Why don't you go ahead and say what you have to say? I can wait."

He wasn't even budging. Nanami-san looked at me waiting for me to say something. It wasn't something I could say in front of that psycho when I knew that he was trying to set me up and get some blackmail material or dirt on me.
I look at Nanami-san and try to think of an excuse, my eyes wandered everywhere but at him, he could tell something was off about me.

"Do you mind giving us a minute Fushiguro-san?"

Thank God he got the clue. Toji was jerking his leg in anger but he managed to hide it right away.

"I'll be waiting here. Why don't you both head somewhere else to talk then I'll meet you back here Kento?"

How dare that man just casually address Nanami-san by his first name. It made me want to bite his head off. Nanami-san was a respectable adult unlike him.
I clenched my fist behind my back digging my nails into my skin.

"Okay then I'll be back soon, thank you for your patience. Let's head somewhere else then Y/n?"

Nanami-san bows to him and then walks towards me.

"U-Uh-"
I stutter.
What are the chances of running into someone else from school on the school campus? A 200% chance.

Maybe I should ask him to meet off the campus but then he also needs to come back and finish dealing with Toji.

Nanami-san looked at me confused. J could feel Toji's smile all the way from behind Nanami-san directed at me.

"W-Well I think it's better that we talk about it later since you're busy with Mr.Fushiguro. I'll just reach you later so. . . can I have your contact number Nanami-san?"

Without wasting a moment he took out his phone from his pocket.

"If that's what you want Y/n. I'll be waiting for your call."

He hands his phone to me. I would never do that because I'd be too embarrassed if he saw all the weird stuff on my phone, I take it. It looked like a proper salary man's phone, no unnecessary apps, not too crowded on the home screen. And the wallpaper was a cake. I knew about it, it was from when I baked him a cake for his birthday. He remembered it and kept it as his wallpaper. It made me happy. Even if it was just wallpaper it meant he was happy about receiving that cake from me.

I snap back to reality and enter my number in his phone and save his in mine. I saved my name in his phone and saved his name as 'Nanamin' in my phone.

"Are you done yet Y/n?"
Toji butts in.

"Yes, sorry to take your precious time Mr.Fushiguro. Thank you Nanami-san I'll contact you once you're free."

"I'll get off work at 6, still feel free to call me anytime Y/n."

I hand him his phone and bow. He bows too and I walk by Toji.

"Don't you fancy older men Y/n."

He murmurs as I walk towards him.

"I do. So what? What are you looking at?"
I smile bow and walk past him.

His smile turned into a smirk and mine turned into a sigh. I leave them two be.

When will I have a normal day? I think to myself walking towards my room when I spot Megumi walking towards the hall.

"Oh hey, Y/n."
His attention goes from the phone to me.

"Hey, Fushiguro-"
I receive a flick to my forehead.

"Ouch! What was that for!?"
I look at him stuffing my cheeks in anger.

"I've told you to call me Megumi so many times now. I don't want to be called by the same name you use to address my dad."
He stops walking and folds his hands.

"I wonder if he's really your dad sometimes-"
I stop halfway. I shouldn't have said that I realise.

"I know he's an asshole. Don't hold it against him he's just born that way."
He pets my head.

"Only if he was half as nice as you are Megumi."
I place my head against his shoulder.

"I'm nice Y/n. So why don't you come to me instead of Megumi-chan?"
Out if nowhere a wild Gojo sensei appears behind me, placing his hand on Megumi's shoulder he pushes him away.
