☁️chapter 11:unaware☁️

SHUJI WAS ACTING STRANGE THE WHOLE DAY and for the first time ever he rejected hanging out after school. We usually find time for each other every day, even when our schedules are super busy, but today, when I saw him in the hallway and when I asked him to hang out after school-he said no.

He made up the dumbest excuse I've ever heard and that surprised me. Since we agreed on this 'friend with benefits' thing Shuji is not the same. I thought I'll be the one acting up, but for my surprise I'm the normal one.

You already know I told Draken and the guys all about it, when we hang out after school. They listen to my drama for the 1000th time and told me to ignore it. Maybe he has a hard time and doesn't wanna worry me, which is positive considering the problem with his dad.

Still..I felt kinda down, while I was with the boys and I didn't want to ruin their mood, so I called it quits early tonight. Draken was worried for me, so he texted me through the whole night. I appreciate it, but I felt like being alone for a while, so I turned off my phone.

Draken's pov:
Tonight was a weird day. First the morning thing between Mikey and Hanma, not y/n is complaining, that Hanma rejected her. I don't know, if I can keep up with all this drama.

I love y/n, she's a great friend and I know I can depend on her, but honestly this girl needs to learn her lesson. Same goes for our Hanma boy and his little games. It can't be more obvious, that he likes her too, why don't he just admit it and finish with this nonsense?

After y/n left us me and the Toman guys were sitting together, all of us quiet like someone we know died. I texted y/n to make sure she got home safe, but then my messages stopped being delivered and I knew she turned her phone off. I got irritated for real.

"This girl drives me crazy", I put my phone in my pocket and I groan out of frustration, then I turn to the others, "she's so irresponsible for turning her phone off, what if we get worried or something happens? How will I know?".

"Calm down, mama bear", Baji looks at me and chuckled a little, "look at you going all mama mode for y/n. I find it so..cute".

"Can you blame him?", Chifuyu spoke up too, but he avoided our eyes and just stared at the screen of his phone scrolling through it, "she's so caught up in her drama, that she stopped taking care of herself. Hanma really is an idiot for doing all of this to her", he explained.

"It's not our place to talk, Fuyu", Mitsuya rolls his eyes and Chifuyu just nods.

"He's right", Mikey stood up and we all look at him. He puts that cocky smile on his face and I know that whatever he's thinking is going to bring a disaster, "I say it's time for us to get involved and push these two a little bit".

"Mikey..", I let out a sight.

"No, listen to me! We all can see, that Hanma is jealous of y/n and he likes her, but that dumbass will never admit it to himself. I say we push him to his limits. Let him know, that if he doesn't play-someone else will", Mikey smiles even wider. Me and Mitsuya just looked at each other with 'oh boy' look.

"What are you saying, Mikey-kun? We can't just stick our noses into their business, we are nobodies to tell them to date", Chifuyu finally raises his eyes and we all nodded.

"Bros, y'all are so boring. We won't tell them to date, we'll create a little plan. And by 'we' I mean my precious self", Mikey points at himself and then puts his hands on his hips, "are y'all with me?".

"I mean..if it's for y/n..I'll hear you out", Baji said and we all look at him with surprise.

I'm not the type to agree with Mikey's childish ideas, but when he told us his plan it actually sounds okay. And we won't involve ourselves directly, we'll just create a situation.

"If this doesn't work-that means Hanma doesn't like y/n at all", Mikey finished his sentence and we all nod our heads.

Meanwhile with y/n/ her pov:
I'm laying on my bed. Chips on my right side and soda at my left, my laptop in front of me with my favourite anime on. Tomorrow is Sunday, so I can pull an all-nighter and finish my anime and that book 'Hard to love', that I started reading last night.

Yes, that was a very stupid attempt of the author to promote her previous book. But that doesn't matter at all.

I'm just getting to the interesting part of the last episode, when my window suddenly opens wide and Shuji gets in through it. I look at him as he falls on the ground and hits his elbow in my desk. That must hurt, I thought as he was getting up from the floor.

"Why are you climbing my window again and why don't you use doors?", I ask him with my mouth full with chips. I know it's disgusting, but I can't be the only one doing it.

"What can I do? The front door was locked and your phone is off", he explained and threw his heavy on my bed making it make that annoying streaky noise, because of his weight.

"Well, you told me you won't be coming, so I locked the doors. It's dangerous for girls to stay alone with unlocked doors".

"Don't worry. If someone decides to break in, they'll give up if they see your face with that ugly face mask and your mouth full", he jokes and moves next to me grabbing the chips from my hand, "gimme some, egoist".

"By yourself some and stop eating my food, you tall fat clown", I pushed him off the bed and he pulled me with him. Both of us roll down on the floor and my ass suddenly flashed his face, cuz I fell on it. I was dressed with long t-shirt only, so my bare ass was on his face.

Shuji pushed me to the side and I hit my head on the nightstand. I got mad and we started wrestling. I grabbed his pinkie and I push it back till he screamed out of pain, then he bit my hand. I let out an 'ouch' and I kick him in the face. We look at each other and we burst out laughing like usual after a fight.

"I actually came to talk to you about something important", Shuji said while he was trying to stand up, but held his nose, because my kick was a little bit hard. I stand up and threw my ass back on my bed totally unbothered, that his nose was now bleeding.

"Sup?", I look at him and gave him a napkin to wipe his blood off his face.

"Do you remember that fairytale that your mom used to tell us, when we were kids?", he puts the napkin under his nose and lays next to me while stuffing it into his nose holes.

"About the grim reaper and the woman? Yeah, what about it?".

"Since we are going together to that movie marathon on Halloween, how about matching our costumes? Like we used to do, when we were five? That would be cool", he suggested and I nodded my head.

I couldn't help, but wonder..why would he pick such story for ours costumes? It's a story about a love that is so strong it literally changed dead himself for good. Does that mean something, or I'm tripping? Nah, I'm probably going crazy.

"Yeah, sure. We'll do that".
