That Blonde Guy

Chapter 25

"Should I just let my hair down or tie it like this?"

Chifuyu looked at Baji, eyes a bit squinted. The both of them walked to the empty lot beside the school where they parked their motorbikes. The fanged guy had been touching his shoulder-length black strands, as if trying to fix it in some style.

"Since when did you start caring about your hair, Baji-san?"

"Since now."

"Trying to look good for Nika, aren't ya?"

Baji pulled his head back, creasing his brows. His lips twitched into a pout as he elbowed the younger to the sides. "Shut it."

Chifuyu just smirked. He had been noticing that Baji had been in high spirits the past days. Before, he would always find the guy involved in any kind of trouble almost every day, but now, things were different. Seemed like his captain was happy about whatever he's been into right now.

"Uh." Baji cleared his throat. "How do you.. like, make a girl realize that you like her?"

Chifuyu looked at Baji again, his lips stretching into a smile. He didn't speak and just stared at his captain, giving a somewhat proud expression on his face. 'He's finally making a move to a girl!'

"Don't look at me like that, dumbass." The long-haired guy looked away, cheeks turning pink. "I'm only asking for a friend."

"You just tell her. Say, 'Nika, I like you.' Easy as that."

"Is that it? Wait, wouldn't she--" Baji paused, realizing it. "Hey, I said I'm asking for a friend!"

Chifuyu broke into a laugh. "Got ya! Haha!

He attempted to run but Baji immediately caught him, giving him a burning flick in the forehead. "Why am I even asking for an advice from someone who's got no luck with girls."

"Hey, ouch!"

Baji laughed.

"I'm going bowling with Takemichi and Hakkai today, catch up if you want." Chifuyu put on his helmet and mounted his new bike. "Ah, I'm really loving this bike, Baji-san."

"Glad that your ass could ride something again."

Chifuyu laughed. "Yeah, thanks to you. This is so cool!"

"Nah." Baji took a deep breath, a smirk on his face. 'Glad he likes it, though.' "Just don't let anyone burn it again or I'll burn you myself."

He was about to mount his own bike but stopped when he felt something vibrated on his pocket. It was his phone.

'Good afternoon.'

His brows immediately pulled together upon reading the text. It was from an unregistered number.

'da hell is this'

'Hello, Keisuke. This is Haruto.'

His face immediately pulled into a sneer, uttering a silent, "The fuck?"

'whered u get my num'

'I got it from Yuki.'

'Are you coming to Nika's today? I'm bringing pizza again.'
