Unexpected Love

9. Obanai Iguro: The World's Biggest Jerk

Mitsuri's POV

-------------------

After I went to my locker, I hesitated to go to class. I already got many harsh stares and whispers in the hall, plus, my eyes were as red as a tomato from crying.  I assumed that the stares would get worse inside the classroom. Just try to keep a low profile...Nobody would notice me...right?  I thought to myself just as I entered the classroom. The whole class turned their heads to look at me, some for a split second, and some for what felt like a million years. I quickly sat down trying to shrug off the many pairs of eyes on me. So much for keeping a low profile. I sighed as I opened my textbook. I hope Shinobu comes soon... I thought as I kept staring blankly into my textbook. All of my classes went by so slowly, and I didn't even realize that Shinobu was avoiding me until I tried to say hello to her in art class. 

Finally, it was lunch. I grabbed my lunchbox out of my locker walked outside and over to Muichiro and Yuichiro to sit with them. (A/N- IDK WHY BUT I PICTURE YUICIRO'S HAIR TIPS TO BE YELLOW INSTEAD OF TEAL, SO THAT'S WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE)

"Hey, guys! What's up?" I asked as I waved to them with my free hand

"Oh. Hey, Mitsuri-san. Take a seat," Muichiro said in his normal unamused voice. That or, he was just bored. Either way, he was a very simple person.

I took a seat across the table from them.

As I opened my bento box, I got a strange feeling, like someone was standing right behind me.

"Oh, if it isn't Mitsuri Kanroji, the gay fucker that chose Little Miss Perfect," I heard a cold and solid voice speak behind me.

Shit. I know this voice anywhere. It's Iguro.

"What do you want, Iguro," I said in an equally as cold tone

"I don't want anything, I actually got you a gift."  He replied in a pleased tone that pissed me off, "Chocolate milk, your favorite."

Wait, what?

A few seconds later, chocolate milk was pouring out of the carton and onto my head.

I barely even had time to figure out what he was doing! So fast!

"What was that for, Iguro?!" I asked not nearly as angrily as I felt.

"Simple. You chose the short-ass butterfly girl over me. One thing you should've learned from being with me is that I am not one to mess with," Iguro continued as though he didn't even notice the twins sitting across from me.

"Hey! You better watch it, pal. That's not cool," I heard a familiar voice speak behind me. I immediately knew that it was Yuichiro because of his harsh tongue and defensive attitude. Muiciro usually didn't like to get caught in these kinds of things, so it couldn't have been him, anyway.

"Oh, come on. I can never have a little fun in this school. You all aren't worth my time anyway. I'm leaving," Iguro replied in a calm tone, but anyone with half a brain cell could tell that he was fuming.

"Fine by me. Bye arrogant-asshole," Yuichiro said as he pulled his bottom eyelid down and stuck his tongue out at Iguro as he walked away. I couldn't help but chuckle at Yuichiro's small gesture.

"I'm gonna go wash up now. Save my seat for me, 'kay?" I asked as I got up and dusted my pants off.

"Ok. See you in a bit, " Muichiro responded

Shinobu's POV

----------------------

Today at lunch, I was sitting with Genya. We were talking a bit and I found out that he was gay, too. He was closeted so he wasn't being picked on it like I was. He said that I had it worse than some of his friends from Archery practice. I was kinda surprised that his Archery practice was full of gay people, and he was still single.

"Most of them are my childhood or family friends and it would be really awkward if we dated," Genya explained as he rubbed the back of his neck in slight embarrassment.

"Ah, I understand. That would be like dating a step-sibling," I replied with a chuckle

"Exactly! You know what I'm talking about. Sanemi, on the other hand, keeps mocking me for it!" Genya said in a relatable tone.

"Wait," I said processing what he just said, "You're out to your family?"

"Oh, yeah. You're not?" He asked

"No. I don't even know how to," I replied in slight embarrassment.

"Well, it's painfully obvious that you're a lesbian. You're a blushing mess whenever you're around a pretty girl," Genya said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"N-no way!  I feel like I would know if I was a blushing mess around girls!" I replied quickly

"Butcha didn't~," Genya remarked with a mocking tone

"S-SHUT UP!" I exclaimed back at him.

As Genya and I kept bickering, I saw Mitsuri walk over to the bathroom looking relatively angry.

Should I go after her? I don't know... We'll get stares in the hallway. Like, everyone saw that video. Maybe I shouldn't...

I kept my thoughts to myself, but I guess my face gave it away because Genya asked me if I was ok.

"Huh? Y-Yeah, I'm fine. Just thinking about something," I replied to his previous comment.

"Is it Kanroji-san? She just went to the bathroom. Are you thinking about following her?" Genya asked.

"H-HUH? HOW'D YOU KNOW?! YOU READ ME LIKE A BOOK!" I said to him very surprised at his intuition.

"Haha! Well, you were looking her way the whole time she was walking away. Pretty obvious, if you ask me," Genya replied in a somewhat confident tone.

"Is it really that obvious?" I wondered in a tired voice.

"Yeah, it is," Genya said as he went to take a sip of his coffee.

"Whatever... I'm not gonna follow her, anyways. She probably doesn't even wanna talk to me.." I replied to him.

"That's not true. I saw her staring at you in Art," Genya said.

"Huh? She was?" I asked in disbelief

"Yeah! She even tried to say hi to you! You really are an idiot!" Genya said with a loud laugh.

"WHAT?! I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW!" I said with a lot of enthusiasm. Was she really trying to say hi to me?! Oh my god! I am an idiot! I need to go apologies right now! I thought with the same surprised look plastered on my face.

Just as I was about to go talk to her, the lunch bell rang and the hall was suddenly full of students rushing to their next class. I let out a sigh and just decided to go to my locker and get ready for the next class. How long am I gonna just avoid her like this? The Fall Festival is coming up soon, so maybe we can patch things up before then. For now, I'll just go with the flow.

FINALLY, this took me way too long to write and I've been reading Kakegurui x reader fanfic.

There's something wrong with me.
