「Not-so Secret Admirer」

(🌟🤖 + 🌟☕) Daydream

"I wonder what's up with Rui"

Nene put down her bag then started changing into clothes she wear at home. Turning on her Ps5 and continuing an RPG game she's currently playing.

"I SHALL SAVE YOU FROM THE EVIL EMPEROR!"

The knight character from the game shouted, making Nene remind her of something.

The demeanor, the words, it all reminded her of someone. She can't put up with words of how he reminded her with someone. Well, except the knight character isn't idiotic unlike the certain someone.

"Hehe, he reminds me of someone"

Grabbing one of her pillows and squeeze it around her arms. Imagining about her being a stoic heroin and Tsukasa being a night. Her cheeks are tinted with red and her heart fluttered with her imagination. Until her face heats up even more.

"THE HELL? I'M IN LOVE WITH AN IDIOT?"

Touching her face and burying it later with a pillow she held.

"Impossible Impossible IMPOSSIBLE! I would never love someone like him!"

Then she began speedrunning her game until her bedtime.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot I had a crush on him"

Taking herself a bath and getting ready for sleep. Then her mind is clouded by thoughts on having a crush. Nene Kusanagi, doesn't have a crush before highschool. Not even Rui Kamishiro. Usually she's not into relationship and stuff not until she slowly get to know Tsukasa.

"Crap, if I still thinking about him, I might get distracted at rehearsals."

A memory from earlier sparked in her mind. The fact that Emu isn't around yesterday and only missing Tsukasa the most, bothers her a little. Sure she knew they were close- I mean everyone else knew.

Well, Emu and Nene are best friends! So maybe that's the reason why Nene got serious about her friend ignoring her. No. It has to be something more than that.

"It can't be helped, it's not like he knows about it anyways"

And then, she thought about Rui being strange. Did something happen in his class that's why he's like this? She tried texting him but got no answer, thus, receiving an "I'm fine, don't worry" instead.

She's about to text him but, it's better to not force him to talk about it at all. Why can't Rui open up to her? Not like they fought.

Something about falling in love doesn't really bother her, let alone fascinates her. But why is she so stern when Emu ignored her? If it's not about their friendship, then what is this feeling?

Jealousy, it is the answer. If there's something wrong between Emu and Nene, she would've greet Rui as well. But no, she hugged Tsukasa first.

"Ugh, why would I make this into a big deal?!"

Overthinking and overthinking, her head starts to spin doing random (not necessarily random) mental gymnastics at midnight. She loves Tsukasa but this time something really bothered her. The more she thought of it, the more it bothers her.

When you fall in love with someone, you tend to think about the consequences when your feelings have shown. At first, it doesn't matter but the more you think of it, the more it fascinates you and leads you to keep thinking about it. It's not all about the heart, it's about the brain as well.

"What am I thinking at midnight? Ugh, I can't sleep"

Grabbing her phone, scrolling through SNS and found her crush's post about their rehearsals

WxS_tsukaSTAR: Our rehearsals! Please look forward to our show on Friday! See you there♥️

She smiled. She definitely smiled instead of getting irritated at his silly smile.

"He's not so cute, go away."

Words coming from her mouth, it's easy. It's easy to lie to yourself. It's easy to say something that isn't conveying through your feelings. Saying the truth is hard, no matter how you're prepared to do so.

"Hehehe, he's cute when he made a face like that. What an idiot"

All she can say is that Tsukasa is an idiot. She didn't even deny the fact that she complimented behind the screen. In the end, she stared at the picture until she fell asleep.

Ding! It's Tuesday!

She walked to the school with Rui and asked him about yesterday.

"My apologies, My crops were dying so I had to fix or else I got kicked out"

He lied about in verge of getting kicked out of the Greenery Club. He's an actor as well so he can make up expressions without getting caught.

"Ah I see, I hope you won't get kicked out. It's really hard to join other clubs"

"I agree, Nene. Someone like me won't be accepted by other clubs. Hah, if only there's robotics club, I would've been a president there"

Rui wiped his non existent tears.

"Heh, in your dreams"

Nene laughed at her friend's statement.

"There he is"

Nene pointed at Tsukasa.

"WAHAHA! How is it going, Toya?"

"Senpai! I'm so glad I could meet you again! I saw your post and all I could say is, you're working hard"

"HMM! It's gonna be a BIG SHOW EVER!"

"I bought a ticket beforehand so it's fine. Unfortunately, Shiraishi won't be there, since she's reserved part time. About Azusawa, she already reserved her ticket with her family. About Akito, I'm waiting for his reply to join me in. Anyways, I hope this will be a success. You can do it, Senpai!"

"Thank you so much, my No. 2 fan! I couldn't explain how much I'm grateful to you by my side"

So Toya, Tsukasa, Nene and Rui went to their respective class.

"Kusanagi-san, I'm looking forward for your show as well"

"Hmm, thank you."

"Okay class, our lesson for today is about the brain diseases! This is for all of you who had lost their brains at exams"

Some of the students laughed, the others groaned.

Toya's face flushed by the fact of seeing Tsukasa's next show. All he can think is that his senpai is amazing.

"Ah, senpai is amazing. He is captivating as well"

Feeling captivated by his senpai's aura. Tsukasa Tenma sure was sent from the heaven, pun intended. Behind Toya's stoic expression, his eyes are sparkling when he was once again, captivated by his senpai. At the same time he's worried about the fact that his senpai is too amazing for someone like him, might've been the same case as he is with Akito.

"Aoyagi, give me an example of brain diseases and it's meaning"

Toya's eyes we're shocked after realizing he spaced out. So he stand from his chair and gave his shot.

"Amnesia, means loss of memories. May cause of stress or a head trauma"

"Wonderful example, Aoyagi. Even though you spaced out thinking about your crush."

The teacher bluntly stated. Well it's true, although a lot of students are curious about who Toya's crush is. They would've been shocked if they knew it's the member of Oddball One-Two Finish Duo.

"Yeah Amnesia, everyone gets Amnesia if they're answering the test. Oh my bad, sorry!"
