Closeted Straight - KNY High School AU

~ Chapter 23 ~

„Another party? Seriously?!" Y/N crossed her arms. She was in the cafeteria with everyone.

„This time Tengen is the host." Hinatsuru said.

„It will be cool, drinks, weed..." Tengen added.

Y/N had no doubts about a trap this time. Tengen would not be manipulated so easily by those siblings and he certainly would not plan something stupid like a blind date behind her back. He was usually pretty straightforward, hinting her that he did not mind sharing Suma with Y/N... or other way around.

„I am his weed dealer!" Douma announced, sneaking arm around Tengen's shoulder.

„Would you stop with that?!"

„With what? Dealing weed?"

„No, putting your hands on me. That is gay."

„But I like girls."

„You are the gayest straight guy I know."

„You clearly do not spend enough time with Akaza." Douma shook his head, moving his arm.

„Why yes, I rather spend it around girls... unlike you."

„Girls keep acting like I am harassing them or something..."

„So does Akaza... anyway... Who else is coming, Uzui? If Douma is one of the main party organizers, then I guess those siblings will be there too, huh? They are friends, after all." Y/N cringed.

„I do not know." Tengen shrugged, „Anyone flashy enough. It is an open party with very few restrictions. Gyutaro probably will not pass face control. I could allow Daki though, as long as she will not behave like a hysterical toddler... not sure. She managed to damage my eardrums more than standing close to DJ speakers at the night club."

„Yeah nah, she is not going to stop throwing a fit, that is her default mode." Y/N shook her head.

„Are you coming or not?"

„Not sure..."

„Suma will be sad."

„Ugh... fine, I will see if I can come."

„Wear something sexy."

„Fuck off, Uzui."

„You should really wear something sexy." Douma agreed.

„Fuck you, as well. By the way," She whispered, stepping closer to Douma and standing on her toes, „Do you still have that petition I gave you?"

„Huh? No, why?"

„Do not lie, I bet you still keep it as a sacred object so many girls touched, pervert... I need to see everyone's handwriting. Whatever. maybe I should ask Shinobu to get some more signatures... but for what?" Y/N mumbled to herself, walking away.

„Are you going to attend that party thing, Y/N?" Enmu asked softly, appearing next to her seemingly out of nowhere.

Y/N shrugged.

„What about you?"

„Makio invited me. If you will go, I will go too. I do not really know anyone else."

„Well, you know all three girlfriends of the host and got invited by one of them, you should be fine."

„I do not know them enough to feel comfortable around them."

„See you there, then." Y/N mumbled.

„The way you handled Daki in the hallway back then... it was so cool. You are... amazing..." He whispered. „I am worried what she might do, though..."

„I have to go." She frowned. Y/N did not need him getting all friendly because she bullied his love rival.

Enmu sighed, following her to the classroom along with other students who already finished eating.

„Thank you." Y/N mumbled, taking a seat next to Gyokko. For some reason, she did not mind Gyokko acting all nice around her, because of their mutual hatred for Daki.

„Anything for my clubmate." Gyokko shrugged, smiling.

„You and Enmu are friends now, huh?" She raised her brow, feeling a little jealous. Were they going to bond over their unrequited crush on Muzan?

„Mhm, kind of. He is fun to chat with and shares same interests. I might see Muzan more often, if I will befriend him. Sounds like a better strategy than directly approaching Muzan, this guy is an outcast, so he is less picky with friends. He is not really going near Muzan at school anymore, because of Daki, but they are still meeting after school everyday. He said he is helping Muzan to write lyrics for his next album. So lucky! I offered him helping with designing an album cover for free, if needed and he said he would tell Muzan."

„He is writing stuff, huh?" Y/N mumbled, narrowing her eyes. „I did not know that."

„Yeah. Poetry is a secret hobby of his, he is not talking about it openly, only a few people know about it, including me and Muzan, not even his childhood friend or train club kids have an idea. I do not see why is he being so discreet about it; He showed me some of the lyrics, they are amazing. Honestly, Muzan should be glad he has some kind of a writer's block lately. Enmu's lyrics are much cooler than band's usual lyrics, to be honest... he kind of sounds like an overdramatic vampire from seventeenth century sometimes, overly romanticizing everything, but it is still really cool. He is very talented."

„Interesting..."

„He does not seem like a jealous type at all; Perhaps because he thinks neither of us have a chance, unlike Daki... No idea. Hopefully he did not lie to me about recommending my artwork to Muzan."

„Yeah, hopefully." Y/N yawned.

„At least he does not mind lending me his homework sometimes to copy a few things... speaking of that: I have to return it to him after this lesson, can you see where he is seated? I keep losing him from my view somehow. I get distracted for a moment and he is gone."

„Nope, I cannot see him. Maybe he headed for the toilet, he is pretty easily noticeable with that hairstyle... you got his homework? Can you show me before you will return it to him?"

Teacher began to talk, so they could not continue conversation. Y/N was partially relieved because of that. It felt like just hearing Muzan's name gave her cancer. She wished she could taboo it somehow.
