Pretty When You Cry////Asahi Azumane x Male/NB Reader

Chapter XIX

I walked to my seat in the back corner as Noya was already in his.

"Almost late Y/N" He chuckled.

"The tables have turned," I said back. He laughed remembering all the times I've scolded him about his tardiness to class, specifically first period. I believe that even if you sleep in the class, always be on time if you can.

"Yeah, whatever. How are you? You look like you're glowing?" He tilted his head and crossed his eyebrows.

"Hehe, well, don't tell anyone this but Asahi and I are," I whispered to him and crossed my fingers together, praying that he'll understand what I'm trying to tell him.

"SHUT UP Y/N!" I nodded and smiled.

"Yeah, it happened um..."

"You don't know when?! What a terrible boyfriend you are!"

"No no, it happened yesterday, I just didn't want you to freak out."
"Well, duh I'm going to freak out, he's my other bestie! Now two of my friends are dating!! And I'm here," he sighed dramatically, "all on my one."

"You're fine, you'll find someone." I tried to reassure him, even though I still had my own anxieties about my current relationship. He looked so proud of us this morning when he asked to hold my hand, and now he's acting like we're strangers. I tried to hold up my smile as I thought of this morning again.

WHY AM I SO HUNG UP ON THIS, LET IT GO! I thought as the teacher walked into the classroom, effectively silencing the students.

"AHEM, everyone, as you know the school festival is coming up in about two months." He said with no emotion. The sun shone into the room exaggerating his eyebags. He sighed and slouched on the podium. "So, one at a time, raise your hand and the class president will call on you." He walked to the back of the class and laid down his coat to sleep.

"OKAY, EVERYONE!" Our gaze was directed to the overly energetic class president. As usual, her uniform was in perfect condition as her black silky hair moved like water droplets (think of Komi but she can actually communicate lol). I watch around me as hands raise for ideas. I've only seen school festivals from anime and K-dramas, so I didn't have any ideas of my own.

"You over there in the back." She pointed.

"Can we do a haunted house?!"

"Haunted house, writing it on the board." She took the chalk and started to write a list of ideas. This process went on for a while until all hands and ideas were acknowledged.

"Okay, here are some of the ideas that are school acceptable, then we'll vote anonymously, okay?" We nodded, I examined the board and the options from my fellow peers.

"Okay, so there's the haunted house, costume booth, a comedy skit, "write your name" shop, a maid cafe, cute animal bakery, and a pottery-making station. Unfortunately, because of last year's incident, we cannot do the maid cafe." She crossed off the maid cafe and I sighed.

That would have been so cute. I would have had an excuse to buy and wear a maid outfit. I sat back in my seat and looked at all the options on the board. What am I good at here Lucy?

...

Lucy? I closed my eyes to try to communicate with her better. But, all I could think about was a distant memory of Danny and me in the kitchen in our apartment baking pasties for his cafe below us.

"Y/N, do not touch the raw eggs! AND DON'T EAT IT!" I smiled and knew that my answer was going to be.

"Now all heads down and raise your hand as I call out each idea." We all put our heads to our desks. "Haunted house, costume booth?" And the list went on and on. I raised my head in hopes the one I voted for won.

"Alright, through the process of a democratic vote, the animal bakery won!" I smiled and Noya turned to be disappointed,

"I really wanted that maid cafe." A grey gloom cast over his head.

"Shut up perv, you just wanted to see the girls in tiny skirts."

"No, I wanted to see." He coughed, "Anywho, what did you vote for?"

"The animal cafe, why?"

"Ha! Of course, you did. Well either way we're going to have so much fun!" He laughed as the bell rang for first period.
