☆ I need the ring ☆

6 - are you okay?

A week has passed.

Everything seemed to move so quickly at first but now I feel like I'm stuck in time.

You wondered to yourself while walking home with Saiki.

Everything is so slow, but at least the jewelry repairing is going smoothly

You sighed subconsciously, Saiki looking at you for a moment but looking at the road again.

You and others went out to eat ramen, it was great. Only now you had noticed the time and realized, you can't go home, you have to bring the rings to him.

"So how is..life? Brother still at your place?"

"Fine. Yes" his eyes now at you.

"Hm, okay" you nodded and now standing before your house.

Crap, what should I do? I'll do it later? Maybe? No, he would scold me like an angry mom to a 5 y.o child when I'm late

"Uhm, well see ya'!" You waved him and again, no wave back.

What is his deal.

You quickly went inside and took a tiny paper bag and put the rings into it.

This should do the trick

You took some cookies with you, just to be nice. You knocked on the Saiki's family's door.

please please be Kuskue not Kusuo

It was Kusuo.

"Ehem hi, here take these" you handed him the cookies, he looked confused. You had learned how to read emotions off his face, great thing to have due to him...yk not really talking

"Why are you here?"

"Is Kuskue here?" You asked quickly.

"No, if you want I could tell him you came by" Saiki told you, staring at the paper bag.

"Oh I would love that, thank you" but you couldn't leave so easily, Saiki pointed at the bag.

"Oh that's nothing, just happened to take it with me without realizing!" you lied through your teeth.

He gave a nod and you left.

Damn it I was late, I hope he doesn't suspect anything

At home, you fell asleep, having a good night's sleep. But you woke up somewhere else.

"Wha-" you mumbled to yourself. You were in your garden.

"What the fuck" you scratched ypur head, realizing one of your hair-clips wasn't in.

You looked around and teleported in your room, it just fell off.

"That was close" you step forward but fall on the ground.

"Oh shit" you whisper, on the ground, feeling pain.

You laid on the ground, your father was rushing to work so he didn't notice (probably thought you were sleeping).

You lay on the ground "Okay 1...2...3" you try to stand up but fall again, crawling on the ground you try to get on the bed, to get the hair-clip.

You hear a door opening behind you.

"Dad- oh hi Saiki" you remember that your dad always lets Saiki in when you're running late.

"Are you okay?" He asked, even a bit of worry coming through his voice.

"Uhgm," you tried to crawl on the bed, him now holding your hips and helping you up. "Uh yes just," you take the hair clip and put it on "I just felt a bit dizzy"

"Looked like you were dying"

You laughed at that and stood up.

"I might if I make us be late" you now ran out of the room, rushing your morning routine and grabbing him while running out of the house.

"We have time, I just came early today" Saiki shows the time to you and you stare at him blankly.

Oh so the running was pointless, great

You still felt out of breath but in a few minutes you were back to normal.

This can't happen again, if I panic I might make something blow up

You arrived at school, everything boring as usual. Everyone was at school, which was a surprise.

You auto-piloted through the whole day, until.

"We are making a play" you heard and suddenly woke up.

That could be interesting

Theruhashi and Saiki had to be the leaders. You felt relief, not wanting to have responsibility. You went into the library after school, to find a good book to read, since the last one was finished. You were going through everything when you heard Nendo and Kusuo speak. You popped up behind the counter.

Teruhashi looked at me "oh great she is here to ruin my time with Saiki too."

rude

"Please help me" Saiki looked at you with a bit of spirit, you could tell he didn't want to be there.

"So what's up" you started a conversation.

"A play" Nendo looked at you with no thought in his head

How does he have no thoughts, I'm still amazed

You gave a small nod and took a book out and sat at the other side of the table from Teruhashi. Everyone started talking about some weird stories they have heard, but you just read a book, glancing up at times. They all got so hyped, but you were tired, so you stood up and quietly left. As you walked home you could feel a presence behind you.

"Kuskue, where were you when-"

"You were late. Now give them to me"

You took the paper bag "Have you told anyone?"

"I'm not an idiot like your brother"

"Don't call him that" you gave a death stare

Even if I agree, only I can insult him, especially when you two act alike.

You hand him the rings and wait to do the same in two days.

You walked home, your father and Saiki's parents announcing that they are going out and I should go visit Saiki, if we are such great friends.

"Oh he is so lonely and has to babysit our neighbor. His brother isn't home either." Saiki's mom exaggerated. Your dad gave a death stare "you still need friends"

"Okay mister party animal" you tell your dad while being pushed out of the house.

That's how I ended up babysitting a little boy with Saiki.
