mwehehehee soon

IT WAS obvious that you liked Ryuguchi Ken.

Something people could not understand is that, why are you still denying what's already spilled on the table?

Is it because your twin sibling is his best pal?

Or is it because you are too ashamed to admit your feelings?

Or was it...

“Emma!” He called in a deep voice. “Here's Takemichi's wifey, make sure to stay close and protect her.”

“Roger that.” You faced Emma's back, beside him is the new face blond haired boy, Takemichi.

“Oh, it's the wussy boy!”

“What is she talking "wussy", Take-mi-chi?”

“N-No! H-Hina, this is not what you think!”

“You know him, Emma?”

“It's not what it seems like, Draken-kun!”

You continue to wander off to yourself and be lost in thought.

“Geez, all he cared for was Mikey, his bike and the gang. He doesn't see me as I am.”

You averted your eyes hearing this from Emma.

He did not even noticed you were there.

Well, it's not like you like him or something.

It's just that..

“Oh, Y/N.”

Doki doki.

Your (e/c) ones met his and you immediately felt some sort of connection that didn't seem to exist. Your mind starts making up fantasy that you have tried so hard to deny and erase from your system.

“Oi, Y/N are you listening to me, midget?”

“Wh-Who are you c-calling midget, you-you walking beanpole!” Your cheeks reddening in anger (?) as you clench your fist glaring at the waaayy taller guy.

A soft smirk on Draken's face, you felt your legs weakening. If it weren't for you skirt at cold night, you wouldn't have any excuse as to why they're turning jelly.

“You look like a chipmunk with red cheeks—”

“G-Go away!” You purposely bump your body against him yet you were the one who dealt with the impact. He was stone cold wall against your soft small ones. So instead of knocking him out, you fell on your butt.

Well, almost. If only Draken did not catch you in time then you would've fell. His skin feels the same as usual, slightly warm and sturdy. You can feel heat rising up your face while he was helping you to stand.

“You actually thought you can make me go down given your height—”

“SH-SHUT UP!” You pushed Draken away and ended up on the floor. Everyone's attention were directed to you both and you immediately feel embarrassed. You got up and stomped your way towards the stairs and sat on them waiting for all the stuff to end so you can go home and wash away your flustered face.

Probably your feelings too, hopefully.
