You're In Love! Aren't you Tanaka?

To Be or Not To Be?

Mikan patiently watched as her friend began to work on his mechanics. She herself was supposed to be sorting medicine, but decided to take a small break and instead hang out with Kazuichi.
She couldn't exactly recall the last time her and Kazuichi got to hang out like this, but it was nice to. Mikan herself was quite lonely, people usually misunderstood her clumsy behavior for attention seeking and disliked her because of it. Only those in the medical field of Hopes Peak really paid her any mind, and Kazuichi of course.

There were still rumors spreading about her and Kazuichi dating, and she truthfully didn't hate it. However, it was a little awkward as she held no romantic feelings for the boy. That being said, if Kazuichi were to ask her out..she probably wouldn't say no.
The nurse blushed at the thought and began to chuckle to herself.

"Hm? Something up Mikan?"

"Ah! N-no don't worry a-about it Kaz!" Mikan smiled and waved her hand dismissively. Kazuichi nodded and wiped oil off of his hands and onto a rag. "Well it's almost ready! My latest project!" Kazuichi showed Mikan the large machine behind him, she marveled at it and got up, beginning to inspect it.
"Ahh! What is it?" The nurse asked, confused at the large yet impressive display in front of her. Kazuichi began to explain what it was, stepping in front of Mikan as he did. Mikan backed up a little to give him some room to move around but accidentally slipped on a lonesome screwdriver laying on the ground.

"A-ah!"
Mikan tripped backwards, instinctively grabbing into Kazuichis sleeve and causing him to fall towards her.
They fell down with Kazuichi on top of her and began to laugh, embarrassed yet finding the situation a bit funny. Mikan began to open her mouth to apologize but was interrupted by the garage door opening.The two looked up from their embarrassing position to be met with Gundham, his eyes widened and a blush formed across his face. "I-..excuse me.." He began to back away and close the door, but Kazuichi stood up and ran to stop him.

"Gundham! dude wait a minute! It's not what it looks like!" Kazuichi opened the door and grabbed Gundhams hand, leading him inside. Mikan herself stood up and shuffled towards them, spewing out apologies.

"I-Im sorry! I accidentally tripped and brought him down with me! Im such a klutz!" Mikan wailed, bowing apologetically and leaving the room out of embarrassment. Gundham watched her leave, a bit relieved that they weren't doing anything. He had a scowl on his face though, jealousy coursed through his body and he couldn't help himself from appearing negative. Kazuichi seemed to notice this and smirked, wrapping his hands around Gundhams torso and hugging him.

"you have no right to be jealous..~" he whispered in a seducing voice, tugging on Gundhams shirt collar. The breeder began to blush but kept quiet, allowing Kazuichi to embrace him a bit before letting go.
"But seriously dude don't get any wrong ideas, I love Mikan but she's not my type."
"You love her?" Gundham asked, a frown growing on his face.
"I mean as a friend ya know? She cheered me up a lot when you and Sonia were a thing." Kazuichi clarified, a bit confused at Gundhams jealousy. The breeder only scoffed and began to glance around the garage, seemingly looking for something.

"..if me and Mikan dated..how would you feel?" He asked, staring up at Gundham. Gundham only glanced away, unsure of what to say. "..I am not sure..honestly. Perhaps unhappy.." he responded, most of his voice being hidden behind his scarf.

"Why would you be unhappy..? You imply that we're nothing romantic, so what's the deal if i want to feel romantic love from someone else?" Kazuichi then said defensively, shrugging his shoulders and getting back to work on the project.
"Because I feel romantic love for you. I just do not desire to be in a relationship with you."
"Why's that?"
"That would be prying into my private life."

Kazuichi rolled his eyes, "well whatever. After all, I did accept a date from the redhead at the mall so maybe i'll finally not be single!" he lied, just interested in Gundhams reaction. The taller boy crossed his arms and suddenly seemed a little too serious.
"Don't go."
Kazuichi chuckled and walked over to him, holding his hand. "Don't worry you idiot..i'll wait for you." he whispered the last bit, a sad smile growing on his face. "But what did you come here for?" He let go of Gundhams hand and stuffed his own into his pockets. Gundham cleared his throat and pulled out his phone. "it seems my website has had a technical issue..where is the programmer that dwells in this realm?" Gundham looked around, originally he came to speak to Chihiro since his website seemed to lag and crash. Kazuichi thought for a moment before responding, "Wellll they should be returning soon, a bit busy with their sophomore classes..if it's an issue with your phone I can totally help!" Kazuichi smiled proudly, Gundham nodded and handed him his phone. "Before you try..do give it to the programmer first" Gundham said beginning to leave.
Kazuichi watched as he approached the door.
