upside down, mitsuya takashi ✓

⤷ 23

it had been two days since takashi mysteriously appeared in the school garden, and i was just downtown browsing the clothing racks for a new top i desperately needed when a boy i knew approached me.

"yo"

"hey draken" i smiled at him briefly, then turned back to the clothing rack and continued to browse through it.

"what are you doing here"

i shook my head. "just shopping, you?"

"oh, i was just here and then i saw you"

i nodded with a smile and went to the next stand, which had sale written on it in large letters.

"are you and takashi talking again?"

i frowned. "why are you asking me that? takashi could give you an answer to that too"

"but he won't"

"what?"

"he says it's none of our business."

"oh," i found a top, pulled it out and looked at it. "what do you think?" i asked, turning to draken, and he frowned.

"if you need a fashion consultant, you're asking the wrong one."

i tilted my head and looked at him questioningly.

"i like it, y/n"

i smiled. "thank you. now if you'll excuse me, i'm going to go try this on"

he nodded and followed me into the store. the saleswoman was already looking suspiciously at draken as we walked towards the dressing room.

"do you have to talk to me so urgently that you even come into the store with me?" i asked in a low voice and walked into the dressing room.

draken shrugged his shoulders. "i'm just curious. and i think you're easier to crack than takashi" he laughed softly and i rolled my eyes.

"thanks" i closed the curtain and made sure it was really closed when draken spoke again.

"don't worry, i won't peek"

"good" i said as i pulled my shirt over my head and reached for my top.

"so, are you going to answer my question?" draken's voice sounded from the other side of the curtain and i grinned.

"no, sorry."

when i had changed my clothes again, i pulled the curtain aside and draken was gone.

hm, nice way to just run away.

"y/n"

"mh" i looked at my spoon instead of eating the soup that was in front of me, and was upset that my mother shook me awake from my thoughts.

"it's about that boy. takashi."

i dropped my spoon in surprise, which landed in the tomato soup with a loud splash, leaving a red stain on my white blouse.

i cursed and wanted to get up to change, but mom shook her head. "sit down. i'll wash this later. but now for takashi, are you... together with him?" my mom wasn't as cool as my dad was at the moment.

on the contrary. there was panic in her voice, which was a mystery to me. she had always liked him, hadn't she?

"what if?" i asked, frowning. "i thought you liked him? what happened?"
