———— SHE SKIPPED CLASS THE NEXT DAY.
it wasn't worth the trouble. so, she took a mental health day, as she deserved. [y/n] hadn't slept in in months, and it felt so good to not have to wake up to an alarm. she groaned as the sun harshly shined on her face, rubbing her eyes and grabbing her phone off the side table. she blinked a few times to adjust to the screen brightness, scrolling through her notifications. nothing too crazy, but she seemed to be very popular in her messages.
natsusa ARE YOU ALIVE WHERE ARE YOU [n/n] GET UP

natsusa [n/n] ANSWER ME RIGHT NOW

natsusa IM COMING OVER
yasunari i didn't mean to give him your address he kind of beat it out of me
natsusa i am walking from the bus stop
[y/n]'s eyes widened at the last message, seeing how long ago it was sent. she shot out of bed seeing he sent it three minutes ago and quickly ran to the bathroom, brushing her teeth at lightning speed and fixing herself so she didn't look like a goddamn mess. not like natsusa would care, but she just wasn't expecting to see anyone today.
she finished moisturizing her face when she heard a knock on the door, letting out a groan before going downstairs, still pajama clad. she reluctantly opened the door, barely getting a chance to speak before natsusa stormed in.
"i have been texting you since this morning, why haven't you answered? i was genuinely concerned for your well-being and you blatantly ignore me? how dare you!"
"natsusa, i was asleep," [y/n] emphasized.
"why the hell were you still asleep? it's, like, eleven am."
"you know what, if you're going to be judgmental, you can leave," [y/n] pointed to the door.
"fine, i'll stop," he sighed, looking around the house, "nice place. way more room than ibuki's apartment, but less homey."
"haven't really had the time to make it homey," [y/n] muttered, trudging to the kitchen. "you want coffee? or tea?"
"either is good," natsusa shrugged, going and taking a seat on the couch. after a few minutes, [y/n] returned with coffee and set one mug down for him. "so, you're in hiding today?"
"well, after yesterday, i didn't want to deal with anything. so, i took the day off. i needed it, though. getting all that sleep helped get rid of the ache in my neck."
"what happened yesterday?"
"like they didn't tell you," [y/n] scoffed.
"they really didn't, yuu and i were just caught between their little screaming war. ibuki was really going at it."
"stop, they did not fight about it."
"oh, they did."
"kill me," [y/n] grumbled, smacking her forehead.
"i'll hold off for a bit, it's just starting to get interesting."
"get out."
"oh, hush. listen, between you and me, i think ibuki is going full send on this thing. i don't think it's a joke to him anymore. after what he said yesterday, i'd be surprised if it was."
"what did he say?"
"he said, and i quote, because i have fantastic memory-"
"you only remember because you like the drama."
"anyways," natsusa glared, clearing his throat, ""you came in here thinking you were ready for a relationship with someone like her to prove that you were grown, but you're not. you've got the mind of a damn child with a schoolyard crush. so, i asked her out on a real date like a real man. come try and pick a fight with me again when your fucking balls drop.""
[y/n]'s jaw almost unhinged itself as she nearly choked on her coffee, coughing aggressively as she smacked the daylights out her chest, finally calming down after another thirty seconds or so. "holy shit, why would he say that?" she gasped.
"dude, i'm telling you; i think he's going full send."
"oh god. i mean, i appreciate ibuki and i like him, but i think we're better as friends? our dynamic is better as friends."
"well, hopefully he'll realize that too before he messes things up."
"jesus, i don't even know what to do now! what am i even going to say when i go on this "date" with ibuki?"
"he was the one that said it was merely a ploy to get you to make more friends, right?"
"right."
"so, seii, yuu and i will tag along! obviously not with you, but we'll observe from a distance. maybe we'll get yasunari to come."
"that's the complete opposite of being a good friend."
"fine, if you say so. but, maybe him seeing you and ibuki out will finally piss him off enough to do something."
