Inexperienced Love || Fuyuhiko x Reader

Chapter 7

You waltzed out of your baking class feeling extra confident. You had just made an entire batch of parfaits for everyone in your class in less than 30 minutes. "Not bad for a Thursday, though I could do better." You mumbled while walking towards your homeroom class.

Opening the door, you took your usual seat behind Fuyuhiko. Looking at him was more than enough to remind you of what he'd said at the end of lunch.

"Meet at 5:30." Were the only words that rang through your ears, rapidly pacing through your mind.

You were getting lost in thought, that is until a familiar voice called your name. It was him. The short freckled blonde. "You know which cafe we're meeting at, right?" He asked you with a stern face.

"The one near the park?" He nodded his head and you gave him a thumbs up. "Can I ask why you're suddenly inviting me, though?" You said with a warm smile on your face. A date with your crush? No way would you pass that up.

"I'll tell you there." He said before walking over to the swordswoman behind you. Now that you thought about it, you never quite understood their relationship.

Perhaps... they were dating. Your warm smile quickly faded. Who knows for sure? They could just be best friends, right? Right?! Questions raced through your mind and as quickly as they had appeared, they vanished from the disruption of a loud bell.

"See you tomorrow class!" Ms. Yukizome said before walking off to who knows where. You quickly packed up your things and dashed out of the classroom. Usually, you'd pester Fuyuhiko and wait for him to finish, however the thoughts from earlier had completely changed your demeanor.

———

You pulled out your phone and checked the time. 3:30. You sighed and slipped the phone back into your pocket. You opened the academy's doors and a cold autumn breeze hit you. It chilled your skin, but it was oddly refreshing.

"Colder than I thought it'd be." A light voice trailed from behind you. You could already tell it was the yakuza. You continued walking, quickening your pace a bit.

However, this was ineffective, as he simply caught up to you again and walked beside you. It was quiet and awkward, nothing but the cold breeze filling the air.

You could feel his eyes burning into you, making you dread the moment you look up from your phone. "And what are you so pissy about?" He grunted. You simply ignored his response and kept on walking.

Fuyuhiko's POV

What's up with her? Usually she'd be asking me about what I'd want to try next or something annoying like that, but she hasn't said shit. Did I do something? Fuck, why do I have to act so goddamn rude all the time.

Should I say something? I don't want it to be so fucking awkward in the cafe as well.

...

Your POV

God, I feel like an asshole. He didn't even do anything. It's just... the fact that he's so close to Peko is...

"Did I do something?"

His voice pierced the surrounding silence, causing me to stop in place. I looked up at him with a slight surprised look. "What? No." I chuckled, putting on a small smile.

Fuyuhiko stared at me, still wearing his concerned look. It's as if he could see right through me. "You sure? I can't help but feel like something is off..." He mumbled, his eyes slowly softening with each word that came out.

He kept his golden eyes glued to my (E/C) ones, examining my face for any hint of sadness. I quickly broke away from his eye contact and took a short inhale. "Sorry for making you think that." I said, eyes set on the sidewalk.

I finally looked up, catching a glimpse of his face. He looked as if he wanted to say more, but he never did. To break the silence, I shared my ideas of the next dessert I could bring him.

After that short moment we had, he went back to his stand-offish image. And so the whole time we walked, I couldn't help but ponder what he wanted me to meet him for.
