Annoyed || Ryusei Satou

七

You walked towards the house after school, you were about to get into bed as fast as possible after you'll come home, but then Ryusei ran up behind you. You turn to face him and wait to see what else comes out of him. "Hurry up, I want to be home." You said and Ryusei looked at you. "You're giving me a hard time."
You frowned. "Don't you want to buy something at the store?"
“That's the reason you are bothering me?” You looked to the side.
“Don't be a nuisance.” Ryusei smiled.
"I'm going home-" "I pay."  You couldn't even finish it and Ryusei jumped to your sentence. You looked at him quickly and said nothing.

"So, what are you going to buy?" I can't believe someone like him could manipulate me so quickly. You were out of the world. "Y/N?" You suddenly heard your name and looked at Ryusei. "Yes?"
Ryusei just looked at you in annoyance. "What do you want to buy?"
You looked around, you didn't know what to choose.. when in that moment. "Cigarettes." You gave a quick serious look at Ryusei. Ryusei didn't say anything to you. You looked at each other for a moment, but then Ryusei sighed and started picking something from the shelf. "Here, grab it."
Ryusei threw the thing at you and you caught it, looking at what it was. They were watermelon flavored chewing gums.  At that you looked at Ryusei who was just smirking. "You still have time to smoke, get addicted to something else." He said and walked past you. He stopped by your side and put his hand on your shoulder. "I know it's hard to resist but I don't want you to have a ruined lungs at such a young age." He said looking at you, you were looking ahead. You felt his hand loosen and he left for the cash register.  You brought your hand up and looked in your palm at the gum he threw at you. You walked over to the cash register behind Ryusei and gave him the gum he gave you to buy.

"Please come again!" The saleswoman said as the two boys started to leave.
You sat down on the bench across from the store.
"Have you ever eaten gum before?" Ryusei asked as he opened a popsicle. "Of course, what am I?" You looked at him blankly.
“Have you ever had this flavor?” He said, biting into the popsicle.
You just shook your head looking at the gum. "Well, try it."
You hesitated for a moment, but after a while you started to open them and continued to put one in your mouth. You were taken aback by the taste. It goes without saying that every chewing gum has its own flavor, but something about this one didn't sit well with you, as if it was a completely different flavor than expected.
Ryusei just smiled at your shocked face. "You should see yourself."
You looked at him and started biting your gum more slowly. "You look like you found some treasure in the sand."
“Probably.” You replied and Ryusei calmed down. “Then I hope you don't smoke from now on.”
"That's not going to happen." You said and started putting the chewing gums in your pocket. "Have you ever smoked?"
Ryusei just stretched and raised his head to the sky. "I tried once. It was never really into it."
"I'm jealous." You looked down at your feet. Ryusei looked at you but didn't say anything. Like he was hypnotizing your eyes. You turned to him after a moment and made eye contact. "What is it?" You asked confused.
Ryusei shrugged and turned his gaze to the ground. “..I don't know.” He sounded vague.
You didn't say anything about it.

"Well then." You said and got up from the bench. You adjusted your bag on your shoulder and wanted to leave. "Are you going now?" Ryusei asked. “Yeah. Being here 5 minutes longer, I think I won't make it.” You said. “Then again tomorrow-”
“Will you give me your phone number?” Ryusei jumped at your sentence. You quickly turned to him and looked at him incomprehendingly.
"No way, last time you gave me the address to the police station." You said walking away from the place. Ryusei chuckled at that. "So you found out." He said but you didn't said nothing. "Please, I promise I'll give you my phone number this time, you can call me to see." He pulled out and put his push button phone in front of him.
You half turned towards him, not wanting to give him your phone number but something telling you to give him one last chance.

"Fine, let's get this over with."
