Weird || Rui Kamishiro x Tsukasa Tenma

Questions

Little note!! This was requested by AkitosShinonome
"Tsukasa, I wanna tell you something." Nene spoke.

"What is it? Are you finally accepting the fact I'm the best in the troupe?"

"No. I just wanna say, Rui really likes you. You're lucky."

"Uh. What do you mean?"

"What I said. Rui really likes you. Anyway, I'm leaving."

"Bye...?"

"What did she mean by that... whatever. I mean, I like Rui. But... do I like him like that? No, no. Besides, I'm not even into guys. Am I into guys? No, no, I like girls. Not guys. Just girls." His head was filled with scattered thoughts about this.

"Maybe I should ask mom? Err... that might be a bit weird. She's gonna think I like a dude and I don't. What if I do though? What does crushing on someone even feel like? Should I ask mom about it? That would be so awkward though! You know what? Whatever. I'll just ask her." He thought.

Tsukasa got up, went home, and immediately asked his mom, "What does having a crush or loving someone feel like?"

"Oh my- that's quite the question. Does my little boy have a crush? Who's the lucky girl?"

"I don't have a crush on anyone, mom! I'm just asking..."

"Whatever you say. Anyway, I would describe love or having a crush on someone as feeling they make you whole, you feel you can be yourself around them, and your heart just pounds when you're around them."

"Thanks! I'm heading to my room now."

He went up to his room and sat at his desk, arching his back.

"Alright. Does Rui make me feel whole? Yes. Do I feel like I can be myself around him? Yes. Does my heart pound when I'm around him? Also, yes...but that doesn't mean anything! I-I don't like him! But maybe I do... no! I like girls. Not boys. Girls. I could like boys though... it is a possibility... I mean, Rui is cute and he's creative and admirable and so funny... that doesn't mean I have a crush on him! A star doesn't need anybody! Even if I do like him just a bit... not that much though!! No... not at all! We're just friends. Just... friends..." He thought.

Tsukasa popped his earbuds in and turned on one of his favorite songs Megurine Luka sings, Dreamin Chuchu. But, he still, couldn't stop thinking about Rui. He quickly changed it to Just be Friends in an attempt to stifle his thoughts. Thankfully that helped, and the thing he knew he was sleeping peacefully, then he woke up.

He picked his head up off the desk and looked down at it, his eyes feeling encrusted with gunk. The dim lamp on his desk shone right where his phone was. He picked it up and realized that it was 10:48PM, and his phone was at 12%. Tsukasa rubbed his eyes and turned on his phone flashlight to check the rest of his desk. His earbuds were tangled around him and everything on his desk was either on the floor or at the edge. Clothes drenched for some reason as well. He looked down and one of his pant legs had been lifted to his knee, his throat was sore and he reached around for the light switch for his room.

He turned on the light and immediately turned it off, because it hurt his eyes. He found an outlet where his charger used to be plugged in and attempted to plug it in again, feeling a spark go through his hand but still managing to get it in the socket. He plugged his phone in to check some of his notifications. The group chat he shared with Nene, Rui, and Emu had about 427 notifications and he missed 9 calls, not to mention the messages he received from others.

Tsukasa opened up his messages in the group chat and saw that everyone made plans to meet up that day without him at one of his favorite taiyaki places. To be frank, he felt a little sad about it. He was missing out on something while they got to go do it. His throat was feeling dry and he needed to get it off his mind, so he went to the kitchen and got himself some water.
