„Heeeey Y/N!" Douma cheerfully landed next to her during lunch.

Y/N inched away from him.

„Eh?!"

Y/N continued to ignore him, taking a bite of her food.

„Another silent treatment? What did I do?"

„I do not know... maybe you just stood there when I was about to get beaten up by Gyutaro."

„Ah, but I was totally rooting for you, Y/N..."

„Fuck off."

„Really, I was upset about your comment earlier and Gyutaro is my friend too so I hesitated for a moment, trying to think how to stop fight without upsetting anyone and then Akaza showed up... I was not going to watch you getting beaten up, I swear."

„Sure..."

„I am not lying, Y/N..."

„Whatever." Y/N raised her hand, mentioning him to shut up. „Either eat, or go away. Do not occupy seat for nothing."

Y/N glanced at Enmu as he entered. He was not hard to spot, thanks to Gyutaro's comments, who attempted tripping him over his bandaged leg (looks like Akaza worked thoroughly). Enmu gracefully avoided him, sitting down fairly far away from Muzan, even though the seat next to him was free. Strange... did they fight? Was he afraid of Gyutaro? Well, it was none of Y/N's business, anyway.

Y/N was about to focus on her food again, when she heard Daki's voice, who was now standing behind Enmu.

„What do you have here? Hmmm?" She questioned, observing his lunch. „Looks tasty. I will take this... and this." Daki grabbed a thing or two.

Enmu stayed silent, moving his hand to get whatever was left on the table.

„I do not like these." Daki commented before he could reach remaining food and pushed everything in a bin nearby, leaving nothing but empty table.

Enmu waited until she would walk away, then stood up to get more food.

„What a cunt... why does he let her do that to him?" Gyokko whispered, he was sitting to the other side of Y/N, watching everything, „Are not you going to do something about it?"

„Why should I?" Y/N frowned.

„You are the class representative. If I were you, I would teach Daki some manners."

„Their rivalry does not concern me. He is perfectly capable of protecting himself from one frail bitch. It is his choice to not stand up for himself. It is not someone stronger, assaulting him physically, so he does not really require help. I am not his babysitter or anything. Why do you care anyway? I thought you disliked him."

„Not at all, he does not bother me." Gyokko shrugged, mumbling, „I dislike him, but not half as much as Daki. He is pretty obnoxious, but at least he is not a bully."

Week passed without important changes. Enmu wordlessly met bullying as usual, everyday. Y/N had no idea how he managed to keep his grades with so much stress and loads of homework that probably was not even his own. He seemed to do much better at the art club too. He was fastest to finish his project, fairly detailed train sculpture. Everyone worked on clay now. Surprisingly, Gyokko had not even started anything yet. Y/N was thinking what she wanted to make, but she was not quite sure. She was more focused to finding time to thank Akaza for helping her.

Gyokko approached Muzan while Daki was busy, bullying Enmu and few other students she disliked. No one could hear what they talked about, but Gyokko was smiling widely as he walked away, Muzan seemed even prouder than usual, after that, Y/N could not even imagine, that was possible.
