☁️chapter 4:best friend care☁️

DRAKEN TOLD ME HE'LL COME AND PICK ME UP around 7 pm, so I had plenty of time after school to finish my business, or that's what I thought as I was walking home.

It was a hard day and honestly I couldn't wait for it to finish, so I can go to bed and watch my favourite show. I unlocked my front door and I look around me-there was no sign of my mom, which means he's going to work a night shift in the hospital again. I threw my keys in the bowl next to our hangers, that my mom thought was a great idea for our keys, and I walk up to the fridge to see what I can make.

I look in the fridge, when I heard a loud bang from upstairs. Good, someone broke in, I thought as I'm grabbing the baseball bat, that I stole from my cousin and I'm running upstairs to see what's up. Noise of movement coming from my room. I squeezed the holder of the bat hard as I'm kicking the door down to reveal Shuji going through my stuff.

"WHAT THE FUCK, SHUJI?!", I shouted and I threw the bat down in his legs. He jumped, when he saw me and put down the notebook he was holding, "what are you doing here?".

"H-Hey, sunshine", I sounds nervous, while he walks up to me and hugs me around the shoulders. Something's fishy here, I thought as he was pushing me out of the room slowly.

"Hey, hey, hey!", I turn around and my hand falls next to his body. I face him and he looks even more nervous, "can you explain why are you sneaking into my room and going through my stuff without my permission?".

Hanma stood there in silence. He was obviously searching for something specific in my room, but what might it be.

Hanma's pov:
Okay, before you judge me-I'm not a thief and I wasn't planning on stealing from my best friend, but I thought she might have one of those notebooks that girls have to write their secrets in. Diary or whatever it's called. If she has one of those maybe she wrote the name of her crush.

I was standing there speechless, because I can't think of a good excuse what am I doing in her room while she was supposed to be gone. Y/n is looking at me waiting for an answer and I had no choice, but to ask her.

Y/n's pov:
Hanma's still standing in front of me, but now he looks more concerned than nervous. His palms are sweaty and I can see it, because he always whips them in his jeans, when he's nervous.

"Y/n, we are best friends, right?", well..I don't like this facts, thanks for reminding me, but I had to nod my head, "and we share everything with each other no matter how bad is it, right, we support each other?", he continues to ask such obvious questions. I don't like where this conversation is going.

"Shuji, just tell me..", I wanted to keep it straight and fast, because I didn't had much time to waste.

I expect him to ask me something, but instead he grabbed my wrist and pulls me back in my room kicking the door shut behind us, then he pushes me on the bed holding my arms pinned to the bed. He pressed his knee between my tights, so I can't move. I felt my heart beating faster as his golden eyes fall on mine. W-What is happening right now? I thought to myself.

Shuji didn't change his facial expression the whole time. Instead he gripped my wrists a little bit harder until it started to hurt me. I let a little 'ouch', but he continues to hold me with his strong grip.

"Shuji, you're hurting me!", I whined, but he didn't let go off me. Instead his eyes were like two glowing starts fixed on my face.

"I thought we are telling each other everything, why would you hide this from me?",he finally spoke up and I raised my eyebrow.

"What are you talking about, you idiot, I AM telling you everything!", I was genuinely confused, because I've never hid everything from my best friend. He knows almost every little thing about me, except the fact, that I have feelings for him.

"Then why didn't you tell me you have a crush on Draken?", he asks me and I freeze on the spot. On Draken? How did he made that up?

"Who the fuck told you this? I don't have a crush on Draken, he's my friend", I put my leg on his stomach and I kick him back. Shuji rolls back and lays on the floor. I stood up and I rub my wrist, "Shuji, are you insane?", I ask him.

"I heard you today! You said you like someone and you said it might drift you apart. The only close guys you have around you are me, that punk Mikey, Draken and those three, that you told this today. Tell me who it is!", Shuji sat on the floor and looked me with those big puppy eyes, that he uses every time.

I froze once again. HE HEARD ME? Obviously i started panicking the moment he told me, but I tried to keep my cool. I hope he didn't heard the first part of the conversation, because then I'm F-U-C-K-E-D.

Shuji is sitting there still waiting for me to tell him something. I had to made up something on the spot, because I'm not ready to tell him I like him yet. He is my best friend and plus he has a girlfriend, he'll reject me and then our friendship will be ruined over nothing. So I did the only logical thing-I lied..

"Okay, you got me", I let out a big sight and I try to avoid his gaze, because if I look him in the eyes he'll know I lie, "I-I-I like M-Mikey".

"MIKEY?! SERIOUSLY?!", he shouted and I immediately jumped on his to put my hand on his mouth, Shuji puts his hands on my hips and I feel butterflies in my stomach. His touch drives me crazy and those eyes on me make me want him so bad, "him of all people?", his question brings me back to the dumbest lie I've ever said. I fucked up..big time.

"It..kinda..happened? I c-can't h-help it", I still look down to avoid his gaze, but then he lifts my chin forcing me to look at his eyes. The moment those golden eyes fall on me and those soft lips form a smile on his face I felt my heart skipping beats.

"You know I don't like him..but if you think he's the one for you, I'll support you babe", he said in low, but calm and sweet voice, "but I won't stop being around you and mess with you as usual. Tell Mikey to deal with it".

I chuckled, but mentally I slapped myself so hard, that I'm sure I'll knock my teeth out, if I punch myself for real. How can you do that, y/n, are you that dumb? Are you an idiot, how can you lie? What can I do now...
