Chapter 14

Previously on Chapter 13

"Will you be my girlfriend, Y/N?" He asked. I smile softly and nod my head. "Of course... that shouldn't be a question..." I said. He smiles happily at what I said. He pulls me into a tight hug. I lean my head against his chest. I can hear his heart... beating at a rapid pace. I smile to myself as I snuggle closer to him. Yoshio is my boyfriend now.

-Hanasaki's Captured-

Y/N P.O.V

Ever since what happened with Hanasaki's brother. He's been acting quite distant from us. Nii-Chan also never lets him handle any mission because of his recklessness. I can tell that it irritates him. But he should know better to not act on his own.

I'm just sitting on my seat at school. I have my chin on the palm of my hand as I listen to the teacher. I glance at Hanasaki, who's sitting not far from me. I can tell that he's not paying attention to the lesson. He's probably still thinking about what happened. I let out a sigh and look forward.

I can hear the bell ringing, signaling the end of the class. I pack my stuff, slinging my bag around my shoulder and walk out of the class. I look forward and notices Hanasaki not far from me.

"Hanasaki!" I said, calling out for him. He stops and turns around to look at me. "What?" He said. I rush forward to catch up to him.

"Seriously... what has gotten into you? You treated everyone like a stranger. Even me!" I said. He just scoffs at what I said. "Why do you care? Just go back to your beloved boyfriend" he said, staring at me with a cold gaze. I frown at what he said. What has gotten into him? Why is he acting like this?

"Why are you acting like this?" I asked. He rolls his eyes at what I said. "Like what exactly?" He asked. "Like you dislike Yoshio! And like... nothing ever hurt you!" I said. He let out a sigh and turn to face me.

"So what if I do?? Yes! So what if I dislike him? As a matter of fact, I hated the guy. You hear me, Y/N? I HATE Kobayashi!" He said, angrily. I just stare at him in shock. "But why?? He never did anything bad to you! Why'd you hate him?" I asked.

"I'm the one who's always been there for you! Not him!" He said. I furrow my eyebrows, staring at him in confusion. He looks away from me, running his hand through his hair. He turn to look at me with a pained expression.

"I'm in love with you! And it's clear... that you don't feel the same way..." he said. He turns around and walks away. I just watch as his figure gradually fade away. Hanasaki is in love... with me?

I let out a sigh and shake my head. There's nothing I can do about it. I'm with Yoshio and I love him. Just because Hanasaki is in love with me... doesn't mean I have to return his feelings, because love does not work that way.

I reach the office of the Boys' Detective Club. Inoue-Nii is sitting on his wheelchair by the desk because Nii-Chan isn't around. I turn my head and notice Yoshio sitting on the couch. I make my way to him and take a seat next to him.

"Hey..." he said, smiling softly at the sight of me. I smile at him. He gently wrap an arm around me, pulling me closer to his side. I just snuggle closer, resting my head on his shoulder. I let out a soft sigh as I keep my eyes close.

"Did something happened?" He asked. I pull away to look at him. "What makes you think that?" I asked. He stares into my eyes, tucking a strand piece of hair behind my ear.

"You just sounded stress" he said. I blink my eyes, staring at him in surprise. He can tell I feel stressed just because I let out a sigh, which can be a sign of anything.

"I'm fine..." I said. He frowns at what I said. I can tell that he's not buying it. "Are you sure? You know if you have a problem, you can talk to me" he said. I smile and nod my head.

I'm happy that Yoshio cares so much for me. But I don't want him to worry about what happened to me, or the fact Hanasaki just said that he's in love with me. I don't want these two to fight.

Yoshio nods his head. "Alright... if you say so" he said. He pulls me closer, making me lean my head on his shoulder again. I close my eyes as I snuggle up to him, trying to make myself more comfortable.

I feel Yoshio's hand gently runs through my hair as he plays with it. I smile softly because the feeling of it is comforting. But I couldn't help but think about what Hanasaki told me. Now that I know what he truly felt about me... would it ruin our friendship?

I don't want to lose Hanasaki as my best-friend. He was the second person after Nii-Chan to ever show me pure kindness. I will be very upset if I have to lose a good friend like him. I hope he will get over his feelings soon.

I hear the screen making a sound. I turn my head to see Hanasaki's face. He seem to be tied up. My eyes widened as I stand up. Everyone turn their attention to the screen as well. It's Fiend With Twenty Faces. He's at it again. This time had Hanasaki.

I clench my hands into tight fists. My heart swelling up in worry at the thought of my best friend being in danger. He looks like he's in pain. What's that man doing to him?

Inoue-Nii turn to look at me. "Calm down, Y/N. We'll think of a way to save him" he said, noticing my tensed up state. I just nod my head. Yoshio move to stand next to me, gently wrapping an arm around my shoulder. I turn to face him and wraps my arms around his.

"He's going to be fine, Y/N..." he whispered softly. I just nod my head. I feel a soft kiss on the side of my head. "I sure hope so" I mumbled. He caressed my hair softly, trying his best to calm me down. God... please don't let anything bad happen to my best-friend.
