Beautiful World

Chapter 6 Conflicted

Asahi POV:

"Hinata! Come here and sit with us!" Miya~Senpai waved energetically.

"Bonne après-midi, Hinata~San." Nuit~Senpai tenderly placed his teacup down. The juxtaposition between these two always brings me to wonder.

"I promised, didn't I? Miya~senpai and Nuit~Senpai, comment allez-vous?" Everyone in Heaven's friend group speaks almost entirely Japanese. They say simple French phrases that I can understand from time to time. Do they talk French fully or mix with Japanese privately?

"BIEN!"

"Ça va."

Asahi sat across the table. "You can sit with me if you want. I don't bite!"

"Don't you want to sit with Nuit~Senpai?" Asahi twiddled with his fingers.

"We can be in one row together! It's more fun that way!" Asahi shyly sat next to Kane and purposely left a bit of space. "Hinata, do you play any sports?"

"I was interested in track, but try-outs were already over when I moved."

"Track is fun and all, but not as much as volleyball!" Senpai rummaged through his bag. He brought a volleyball that's dull and beaten up.

"How're his skills, Nuit~Senpai?"

"Mediocre," Keiji loudly said.

"What do you mean by that!?" Miya~Senpai slammed the table with his fist.

"I was just joking, " Keiji snickered.

*Drop*

"What's this?" Kane picked up a manhwa that slid right to him.

It must have fallen out of my bag when senpai hit the table! "Tha-" Kane's furrowed eyebrows and silence left Asahi ill at ease. "That's my friend's, and she must have left it here by accident when we were visiting." The young fawn tried to look tranquil with no trace of fear.

"Miya~San, you were saying?" Thank god Nuit~Senpai said something.

"Oh right!" Just like that, he bounced back with guileless behavior. As the conversation continued, I couldn't enjoy myself. I kept looking at the clock wanting lunch to be over.

"Hinata~San?" Keiji softly grabbed Asahi's shoulder.

"Hm?"

"May you please leave the room? I have to talk to Miya~San privately."

"Yes," Asahi sat outside patiently. He let his muscles relax and did light stretches. A man with curious green eyes silently sat beside him when Asahi's eyes were closed from yawning.

The sound of wood creaking alerted Asahi, "Hayashi~Senpai?"

"What are you doing here all alone~?"

"Nuit~Senpai had to talk with Miya~Senpai in private. I'm just waiting."

"How rude they kicked out my little kouhai. I will keep you accompanied then!" He wrapped his arm around my shoulder.

"I'm sure they won't keep out for too long." Tomo peered at the manhwa Asahi was holding. The young fawn quickly put it away and looked away shyly.

"Is that Angels Inner Demon?"

"You know about the manhwa?" Asahi excitedly said.

"I found you, my lovely devil."

"you found me, my alluring angel."

"In another life, I hope you find a better lover than me."

"Hayashi~Senpai, you will make me cry if you continue!" The story made me cry all week long the first time reading it.
