Closeted Straight - KNY High School AU

~ Chapter 29 ~

Y/N looked around, sighing. She was looking for Enmu, but he was not where she left him. Did he go home early? Why did he skip those lessons? She had no idea and she could not find him to apologize, either. Y/N shook her head, walking away to join other students and blend into the crowd, before Shinobu could spot her.

„Heyo! You good? Missing the lessons like that..." Gyokko questioned, placing his art tools on the table and taking a seat across Enmu.

„Yeah... I was feeling little nauseous, but I am feeling better now." Enmu looked startled, he did not notice when did Gyokko join him in the nearly empty art club.

„Did you see Tamayo?"

„No, it is nothing serious, I ate a bit of cheese before leaving home, It was already too late, when I noticed that it was moldy. That is all. There is no need to take her time to treat other students who actually need it. I just needed to stay alone with my thoughts and rest."

„Your eyes are all red. Got any weed from Douma? Or were you crying? You gonna tell me what really happened, or nah?"

„Neither..."

„Good, because if someone else starts weeping in this school, it is going to cause flooding. As if Gyomei and Giyu are not enough... Hey. You look all sulky. Are not you going to tell me what is wrong?"

„It is a secret... I do not want to talk about it."

„So what? You already shared a secret before."

„Do not remind me of that... I wish I never wrote anything in my life." Enmu groaned, covering his face with his hands. Part of him did not want to talk, but another part needed ranting. „Ugh... well... The person I like thinks that I was conspiring against her with her enemy."

„Wait, what?!"

„Well, the thing is... I liked this girl since the very first day I got transferred, at first I saw her more as a friend... well, I thought she was really cute and sweet, but I did not think I had a chance with her anyway, so I was determined to not develop crush on her..."

„I had no idea, you were bisexual."

„I am not."

„Pansexual?" Gyokko shrugged.

„No."

„I do not understand anything. Please explain."

„I am not into guys. It is just rumors."

„What?! No way! Are you joking?!"

„It is complicated... I played along with rumors at some point, because I needed to attend the party and get an opportunity to talk to my friend, who began avoiding me without saying anything."

„But you are completely obsessed with Muzan... I mean, you follow him everywhere, helping him with everything and barely ever stop talking about him."

„You are talking like her." Enmu sighed, „Just because I am obsessed with him, does not mean I am attracted to him. Is it really that gay to have a favorite celebrity?"

„Kind of." Gyokko shrugged. „I mean, we talk about him with about same level of enthusiasm."

„I never saw him the way you do, though. He is just my idol, kind of person I aspire to be... put aside his horrendous taste in girls. I will pass on that."

„Hmm... it makes sense now. I thought it was weird that you did not mind me swooning over him at all." Gyokko mumbled to himself. „Here goes my small hope that Muzan secretly dated guys..."
