Kessoku Kokoro | A Bocchi the Rock Fanfic

Chapter 19: Wingwoman Ikuyooooooooo

Kita's friends think something's up. She'd usually talk to them until class starts. Showing the new clothes she bought, the make up she found online, the new idol group she's been following, the tourist spots that would be ideal for vacation. However..., 

...Every day she always goes off to another classroom to talk to someone else. This isn't usual for her. They aren't really that jealous, but they are sort of curious. Mostly curious. Does she have a boyfriend now?

If so...

Is he hot?

Without a doubt, he has to be.

This is Ikuyo Kita we're talking about. 

She's basically an underrated Insta model. She has to be dating an absolute unit. Otherwise, who else would she be spending so much time on in such little time? They pondered on it for a bit. What kind of guy would Kita for fall for?

A bassist. 

Definitely.

Wait.

THAT'S THE WORST POSSIBLE PERSON TO DATE. 

They were alarmed. Could Kita be in debt? No, no. She still had enough money to offer to pay for the times they'd hang out in theme parks. Maybe she's not dating a bassist after all.

BUT THERE'S NO WAY TO BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE SHE LITERALLY SAID THAT SHE'S PART OF A BAND. AND AS MUCH AS THEY HATE TO ADMIT IT, THE BASSIST IS ALWAYS THE HOTTEST MEMBER OF THE BAND-

They have to know. So they decided to follow her today to see what she's up to. They waited until she was gone. Gave her a 10 minute head start. Once those long agonizing ten minutes were up, they followed. 

Little did they know what they would walk in on.

-

They hid behind the corner. They snuck a peak. Yep. It was Kita alright. With a boy. They're... oddly close to one another. He was pinning her on the wall. One of them was about to squeal, the other wondered if they should keep looking, the other one...

...had a nosebleed.

They all hid behind the corner again. Eavesdropping was better compared to watching that scene unfold before their very eyes. So they listened. Out of curiosity of course.

Nothing ulterior. They swear. 

"Come on, do it again. It'll work this time around."

"Ara, ara." 

"Deeper."

Her friends decided to leave them alone. They've heard enough. Their friend... has already graduated from the realm of hopeless singles like them. No. She's ascended to the romantic heaven. They've got no place to intrude no more.

At least they still had each other. With their heads held high due to being proud of their bestie, they walked back to the classroom. Yeah, their faces were red. And the one who had a nosebleed?

She wasn't the only one whose nose was bleeding.

"Kita-san... grew up," One of them said.

"Indeed," The other one wiped her nose.

"Wish that was me instead," the last one muttered. 

-

"Why do I have to do this?" Tokumei asked. This was embarrassing. Imagine if they got caught by a gossiper. The amounts of rumors that would spread. He didn't want to put Kita through that. This was just practice. Nothing more. 

"Trust me. Nothing makes a woman swoon harder than a kabedon," Kita's face was the total opposite of his. Completely fine and more focused on instructing him on how to pick up Hitori later on. "Now, come on. Try again. Make me swoon. Just pretend I'm Gotou-san." 

"...I can't do that," He turns his head to the right. He sighs and then looks at her straight in the eye. He tries to imagine Hitori in front of him. He can't. They're too different. He can't see Kita as Hitori. It's impossible. "...If I'm going to make you swoon, I might as well be cool like Ryo."

"You're cool in my eyes, Risu-kun," She smiled.

"Or at the very least... Actually want to be with you," He blushed a bit. 

"A part of you does, but you know my answer to that," She stared at her feet. 

"Ouch," He smiled in pain. -100 hp.

"That exactly makes me your perfect training dummy! Not only do you have an actual girl to practice with instead of a mirror-"

"Double ouch," He clenched his heart. -1000 hp.

"You also have a pretty girl who's not into you," She innocently said. 

-100000000 hp.

"Ikuyo, you are this close to killing me," He was about to fall into the floor. He was as pale as paper.

Kita slapped him the face twice gently and that gave him his colors back. "Focus, just be confident and dominant. Don't forget to be respectful too! That way Gotou-san sees nothing other than you!"

He nodded. He took a few breaths to compose himself. He stretched his arms and then slammed his right one on the wall. He looked as confident as possible without being stiff. He doesn't want Kita to reshape his face like clay again. "Ara ara, you're looking gloomy today... Well, you don't have to worry. I'll just be the light of your life instead." 

There was an awkward silence. 

"I can't do this-" He pulled up his hoodie. Quickly, he then walked to class. "Thanks for the help anyway."

"Risu-kun...," She grabbed his arm. She pulled out a thumbs up with the other one. With a proud smile, she announced, "You passed."

"Your nose is bleeding!" He got his handkerchief to wipe the blood off.

"Ah-" Kita noticed. The bell rang. She panicked for a bit. She's got to get to class too and-

"You can keep it. Just give it back later on lunch, alright?" He ran to his classroom. 

She wasn't that far behind, but... she slowed down a bit. She thought about what he said to her. Or rather what he was going to say to Hitori. She walked silently. In her head, she was thinking:

'He's getting cooler by the day.'

-

"What happened to you four? The heat getting to you?" The teacher asked.

"Yeah it did," One of Kita's friends said.

They all glared at her.

"Wait, do you guys need my water bottle or something?" Kita was confused. What's got their noses bleeding? Maybe it was the heat. She should really tell Tokumei to take off the hoodie. She doesn't want to see him in the infirmary passed out. 

"You need it more since you were quite thirsty," Her other friend scoffed. 

"Eh?" Kita didn't get it.

The teacher's eyes widened. He coughed a bit. "Anyway, your friends are right, Kita. Hydration is important. In moderation."

Her friends snickered. Kita was left clueless for a few minutes. Then, it hit her. 

Steam left her ears, her face went red and then she buried her face in the desk, 'DID THEY SEE ALL OF THAT-'

Author: I swear guys. I don't have a favorite. 

Also Author when he double checks how much chapters he wrote for each girl: Okay so Ryo's at 2, Nijika's at 3, Hitori's at 1... KITA HAS 5. WHAT THE-
