here's a drink.
chapter three -

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

IT WAS loud- hallways filled with laughter with a group of two or more people passing by whenever you take a step walking towards a certain classroom. A joyous look on your face, it was shining brightly just like how a precious jewel would shine.

Days of being being Baji's lover- Squealing by the thought of that.

Chifuyu's advice was right, you were glad to take his words right on the spot while you were confessing at a certain person. Your heart flattered, crashing waves of emotions the moment he said sure. Who would've thought that your confession went well!

But for the past few days... Baji doesn't seem to look that interested when you're talking with him. He would give short replies and wouldn't even bother to look at you, no matter how hard you try to catch his attention.

Thinking about Baji made your steps slow down and a frown appears out of nowhere. Only sounds of students talking to one another echoes through the hallway.

It's like- he's not really taking both of your relationship seriously. If so, then why did he even bother to agree on becoming your lover? At the back of your head says that it's nothing serious- maybe this is the way he acts whenever he's with a person.

That's right, Baji barely interacts with other people. So it won't be a big deal, you should stop thinking about it.

You sighed, shaking your head to erase those negative thoughts that had started to take over your mind and putting back a beam on. Looking ahead of you, there was a vending machine just right in the corner of the hallway.

"Baji-san must be thirsty after staying in the classroom for too long," You hummed- slowly making your way towards the machine with a soft smile plastered on your face. It was summer during this time, hot weather and people might die just because of the sun. "I should give the both of us something to drink."

One, love is filled and slowly it disappears. But isn't it natural to lose feelings for someone? Like those petals falling down into the ground, laying there, so lonely. And would wither away until it's all gone.

You crouched down, taking both drinks out before continuing walking towards Baji's classroom.

The young man doesn't have any strong feelings towards you, neither does he know why he agreed with your words. Maybe he just wants a new company to be with instead of being with Chifuyu? That can't be. Chifuyu is his most trusted partner, he wouldn't get bored of being together with Chifuyu.

But what he could remember that day was an echoing voice of Chifuyu telling him to say yes and he did. Is Chifuyu happy to hear that both of your relationship is official? Yes, he was. His efforts were not wasted, now he has to think more on how to improve both of your relationship.

Baji leans back on his chair, his hair flowing graciously around the area as the gentle breeze welcomes itself in the windowsill. His eyes closed with the ease look on his face.

Talking about Chifuyu, didn't he told Baji about having a significant other? As if he was match making him to someone, Chifuyu talking about that person- he was clearly passionate about it. But hearing the description of the person, Baji thought that they both wouldn't be a good fit for each other.

"But opposites attracts!" Baji can clearly hear Chifuyu's voice at the back of his head.

"Chifuyu should shut his mouth sometimes. His voice is echoing inside my mind..." His mood? Ruined. The ravenette groans and leans forward to rest his head on his desk, face was covered with his lengthy hair.

It was quiet with ease inside the classroom but it felt missing for some reason. You were taking too long.

"Here's a drink," Finally. You placed both drinks ontop of Baji's table before sitting on the desk infront of him, your smile didn't once disappeared as you made your way into the classroom.

No reply, was he ignoring you? The both of you were dating for a few days now but it doesn't look like you both are really dating. No one even knows that you two are dating except for Chifuyu who saw everything unfold.

You blinked repeatedly and swallowed- reaching out a hand to his figure. "?!"

The rough texture of his hands came in contact with your wrist, you were taken back with his sudden action. You had both of your lips open, a small gap. Heart pumping fast and face flushed red.

"What are you doing?" Baji asks, raising his head to meet his eyes with yours. You didn't gave any direct answer, you were still lost at words.

Slightly lowering your arm, you tried to calm your flushed face down. "Um... I thought of maybe patting your hair...? It looks soft!" It indeed looks soft, no one can deny it.

Baji continues to stare on your face before sighing and gathers himself up into a comfortable position. He sighs and takes the bottled drink you bought for him, "Thanks."

Your smile widened, that's good. He's not ignoring you. "No worries, Baji-san."

Baji halted, he didn't even got to take a sip on his drink. Chifuyu's voice echoes once again, "You two need to be more lovey-dovey! Look at [name]- she's making the effort at both of your while you're just there not even acknowledging her presence."

Chifuyu's voice could not be escaped. Baji needs to forcefully shut his mouth when he's going to talk about romantic stuffs. Baji is just not that interested with love and relationships, at the moment.

You raised a brow and was perplexed. Is Baji doing okay? Why'd he stop all of the sudden? You let out a forced chuckle, completely worried at the man sitting infront of you.

"Are you okay.. Baji-san-?!"

"Keisuke." He cuts you off and takes a sip of his bottled drink. You blinked, why did he call his name? "Call me Keisuke."

You softly bit your lower lip, is this a move perhaps? The sides of your lips curved up into a grin. Maybe Baji was slowly warming up to you? You giggled at the thought of that.

"Can I call you Kei-chan instead?"
