"How did you both meet?" Y/n asked her sister.

"As I already stated, he assisted me in escaping from the men who were attempting to assault me. Fortunately he was nearby to help me. I'm sorry but what's his name again?"

"Baji, Baji Keisuke."

"Baji...", Her sister pronounced her friend's name as if they've known each other for so long.

"I was right that I'd see him at your school."

Hearing her sister's words caused Y/n's brows to furrow. She was curious as to what her sister meant when she said that.

"The school's badge was visible on his vest, and I recognized it. It's great that you've made a trustworthy friend Y/n!"

Y/n couldn't help but smile, she indeed gained a good friend. She was not expecting though that the one who she despises the most is also going to be the greatest friend she'll have.

She continued thinking about how Baji seemed like the right kind of hero for a narrative. Saving people's asses appears to be his part time job.

"Yeah, glad I met him."

Baji took Y/n out on a date a few days ago, and she had a wonderful time. Everyone went about their business as normal.

These days, Y/n felt a lot more alive. She would still do schoolwork and student council stuff during the day, but she would spend her lunch or break time with Baji and Matsuno. Even though Matsuno only shows up during lunch breaks and occasionally accompanies them whenever they go to the convenience store.

Following the completion of her third lesson, the first thing Y/n did was compile the necessary records as per her teacher's instructions. It took her a long time to complete the given assignment, but as soon as she did , she went to the cafeteria, anticipating the cool duo to be there.

She entered the cafeteria clutching her bento in both hands. They were easy to spot as they always occupy the same chairs everyday. Though she noticed that the only person seated there was Baji. Where's Matsuno?

When Baji recognized her presence, he waved his hand and smiled mischievously. Her lips instinctively smiled upon seeing him cheery.

"Hi!"

"Hey ms pres, what took you so long?"

"Got a lot of council stuff to do, sorry for keeping you waiting."

"Nah it's fine."

Baji and Y/n began to eat their meals, which were accompanied by anecdotes that they each told with one another. It felt like the two of them were the only ones in the room. For them, the presence of other students appears to be non-existent.


"I am dissatisfied with the score that I got, I put a lot of effort reviewing the lessons."

Y/n unexpectedly opened up to Baji, the boy could see despair and exhaustion on her face. Baji caressed her hair with his palm positioned on top of her head.

"Don't worry love, atleast you did your best, I'm proud of you."

Y/n's mood was instantly lifted by the choice of words, she wished that this is how her parents consoled her. Her sole safe haven was with Baji.

But wait did she heard it right, or was she hearing things. The endearment he used.


Baji leaned in close to her, which Y/n certainly did not expect. When Y/n's heart started racing, she didn't find it strange; she usually felt this way whenever she talk with Baji.

"Hmm?" She hummed,

"Wanna date me?" Baji spoke with bravery, it made Y/n grin as she remembered how entertaining their first date was. She would definitely tie herself to Baji, if she could.

"Date in the sense of going out and having fun, or date in the sense of you being my lover?" Y/n inquired, the second option though was meant to be a joke. Is it really?

"Both sounds good, can I have a date with you and be your bf please?"

In an instant, her cheeks went rosy. She was joking, so she reasoned that Baji might be joking as well.

Y/n forced a smile before she spoke, "Okay let's date this coming Saturday."

"How bout being your bf?"

Y/n wanted to kill herself, she tried to divert the topic but Baji doesn't appear to be willing to let go of the prior topic.

"I was just joking Baji." Y/n let out an awkward smile, she just wanted the ground to engulf her right now. She's overwhelmed by feelings she can't put into words.

"Well, I'm not." Baji let out a shaky breath, "I like you Y/n, isn't it obvious already?"

Y/n bit her lower lip, her cheeks reddened from the fierce stare they exchanged. She won't deny that she like Baji, but she can't pin point wether her feeling for him are romantic or platonic. She's stumped as to how she'll get out of this.

Y/n, on the other hand, is certain that she wanted their relationship to work. He is the first man she felt at ease with, and the first person with whom she shared her secrets. There's nothing wrong with giving it a shot.

Baji as her lover? She's sure those butterflies in her stomach are going to lose a wing.

"I... I like you too."

"So, what do you want us to do about that?"

She pouted as she gently pushed Baji's left shoulder. "Why are you asking me? Do i look like I know how relationship works?"

Baji let let out a harsh bark of laughter, Y/n felt shy as she really has no experience about dating stuff.

"Y/n?"

"Hm?"

"Can I be yours?"

She felt as if she was on her
way to heaven. "Sure."
