Chapter 16:

"Takashi!" You called, waving as the second division captain made his way out of his school building.

He was the president in his school's sewing club, which was an image in itself for the Toman abiding boy, but whatever. It was amusing really. Either way, you couldn't be more grateful to have someone well versed in that type of hands on experience. You'd seen Toman's uniform and it was quite the masterpiece when it came to skill.

"Hey, Baji." He called merrily, offering a wave that was multitudes less wild as yours. "You finished?"

You were kinda shy at his question. You see, you were working on a scarf as a Christmas gift to Chifuyu. It has taken you forever, and you had definitely stabbed yourself a few times with the machine's needle, but you were finally done.

"Can you do me a favor?" You ask, falling into step with Takashi as you asked.

"What's up?" He asked, hands in his pockets to fend off the chill.

"You did the embroideries for the Toman uniforms, ya?" You asked, getting a nod in return. "Can you put Chifuyu's name on this? I tried a few times but can't do it." You asked, holding the black and gold scarf out to Takashi.

There's a blush on your face, but if Takashi sees it, he doesn't remark on it. He reaches out and takes the scarf from your hands, examining it with keen eyes. You don't know why, but you get the feeling you usually get when you don't know if you've passed an exam or not.

"Why don't you come over and we can do it together?" He asked, showing you a small smile. "Plus, it's been a while since Luna and Mana have been able to see you and they've started to ask."

You break out in a smile, grateful to Takashi. Nodding, you both make your way towards his place to put the finishing touches on Chifuyu's Christmas gift.

Chifuyu feels like an absolute dirt bag. On the one hand, he had promised her that they'd have dinner on Christmas Eve, on the other hand, his captain was asking him to be there for him, and consequently, Toman. He had to show up, he had no business turning Takemichi down, especially as the first division's vice-captain. Every single time he thought about the disappointment he'd see in her expression, he felt worse and worse. He ruffled angrily at the back of his hair, annoyed with his predicament. He needed to find a way to let her down gently, but that was just it. She's been so excited with asking him alone, so how could he tell her that it wasn't actually going to happen? Not to mention she's been sneaking off every now and then to do something. He'd find it weird if he didn't know where she was. She'd mentioned a few times that both she and Takashi were hanging out, and while it was great that she'd found someone else to get close with within Toman's numbers, Chifuyu couldn't ignore the jealous that brewed in the pit of his stomach.

"You're being insane." He huffed at himself, ruffling his hair again.

"I'll say."

Jumping, Chifuyu looks up into bronze eyes that are narrowed and pinning him to place.

"I knocked and you didn't even come answer the door. I had to use my spare key. Are you ok?"

She'd knocked? He has the decency to look sheepish as she puts her hands on her hips. His gaze falls away from hers and falls towards her hands instead. He finds a few bandages encircling her fingers and raises his gaze back to hers.
