"wha— you were the one telling me to confess? you're telling me, you didn't think i'd actually do it?" kazuichi is confused. and a bit offended.

hajime only shrugs in response, "congrats, though."

"congrats, nothing. i haven't told him yet, just asked him to help me with something." kazuichi says, while eating a handful of popcorn. hajime glares at him and grabs the popcorn away.

"don't take all of it— it's for chiaki and nagito too."

kazuichi rolls his eyes.

"so, you asked him yesterday?" hajime asks. kazuichi nods in response, with a quiet hum. "did you leave him a note today?"

"shit."

"the dumbass didn't leave me a note." fuyuhiko grumbles, shutting his locker closed. "why?"

"you're upset. do you like him?" peko tilts her head, "perhaps he's busy."

"right. sure."
