" Why did i lose..?! "

...

Silence dominated the crowd as they look at your way a bit shocked by your sudden outburst. Quick silent whispers were exchanged here and there.

"Poor girl... What happened to her?"

"Lost-? Wait..i didn't know there was a contest?"

"Idiot. There's no contest. She probably failed the exam."

"Wow, the gedai examination does make everyone lose their minds.."

...

Soon the attention vanished and everyone proceeded to mind their own business.

As for yatora & yotasuke,

They were only left in shock. They were worried for you.

Yatora mustered up his courage to try to speak to you to try and calm you down. He knew damn well that you were in your worst state.

"Y/n..? Are you alright?" He said slowly as he gradually made few steps closer to you.

You didn't reply. You were simply in a bubble full of rage, disappointment, and shock. You never really had this scenario in your head. Sure, you would joke around about failing but it never came across to you that it'll happen.

You couldn't get your shit together.

Yotasuke then followed yatoras steps as he spoke with his little voice almost sounding like it's a whisper.

"It's okay y/n. You did your best." Yotasuke only said trying to comfort you even though he had zero to no experience of comforting someone.

He expected you to at least reply to his comment. But to his surprise, you didn't. Only silence was given to him.

As for you, you didn't feel any better. In fact, you were pissed.

The last thing you wanted was for someone you were jealous of to not take pity on you.

The only thing that was on your mind was how he was looking at you.

He was looking...

Empathetic.

Those look again...those concerned eyes...looking at me as if i'm some pathetic loser. I hate this feeling.

Why am i reminiscing this feeling now..?

That damn incident.

...

Minutes passed by and yotasuke tried to talk to you again but was immediately cut off.

"Y/n c-"

"Shut up would you."

You immediately cut him off not letting him speak any further. Not letting him see you like this.

Yatora on the other hand only looked at you both not wanting to interfere.

Yotasuke looked at you clearly shocked with your rude reply, he knew you were mad. He knew that but deep inside his core that was the last thing he expected you to say. He was hurt.

You looked at yotasuke not rationally thinking about what you were about to say.

You knew that he didn't have anything to do with your petty incident but it felt like you were experiencing that specific scenario again. Just like in junior high school.

"Fuck, You even talk like him."

You said, anger piercing through your eyes directly into his. You looked as if you hated yotasukes guts.

The complete opposite of what you were feeling back then. The complete opposite of what he was feeling.

Time skip.

It was the hardest time of your life.

You were completely messed up.

You shoved away two of your friends and now your sulking.

Sulking while painting.

Aggressive strokes were made here and there. You can almost feel the canvas pierce through. The darkest and saturated colors were all messed around scattered across the canvas.

You were venting.

" Why? Why..?! "

Tears gradually rolled down your cheek and fell on your lap.

Curled eyebrows and clenched fist.

Even if you stabbed the canvas again and again you wont feel any less shittier.

You tried your best, your absolute best.

But it feels like you're just looking at an impossible wall that you just can't seem to crawl up to.

You couldn't see the other side.

You were fucked. Hell, even the person you like you managed to shove away completely.

Why did that little incident happen to have the biggest impact in my life?

Why did he made such an impact?

"Yakumo Murai."

...

Yotasuke's POV

What's her problem..? I know that she failed the exam but why did she say that?

Why would she say that...?

Is it me? No.

No no.

I don't get it. I'm confused who was she referring to anyway?

Ugh. Forget it.

I don't care.

So what if she failed? There were thousands of applicants and she knew damn well the statistics of someone passing was little to none.

I even tried to comfort her.

Yotasuke sighed as he remember how cold y/n was towards him earlier. Even though he tried to forget what she said and acted like he didn't care deep down there was this feeling that something was stuck in his throat. That was hurting him.

He didn't realize this till now but he definitely had grown much fondness towards y/n.

He was even comfortable around her and seeing her like this. Hearing words he never wanted to hear from someone such as y/n.

It left a huge mark on him.

Before hopping to bed yotasuke made a mental note.

"Whatever, i'll just ignore her. It's not like i care. She's just acting bratty."

Yotasuke then turned around and pulled up his pillow trying to snuggle on to it to at least feel a bit better from what happened.

Clenching his fingers with the feeling of soft silk against his fingertips made him a little drooly.

Soon, he fell asleep.
