My Hero Rumi X OC Gambit: First Impression

chapter 7

Once again he was awoken by the sound of his phone having a spasm. The ring-tone was different, no doubt what Rumi was giggling about when she stole his phone once. It was one of those pop songs that people only remembered because of how bad it was. He reached over, answering before looking at the number if only to shut the song up before it melted his brain.

"He-"

Ahh! I see your ear!" A voice that was exploding with vigor and bravado like the two were struggling to come out on top and boomed from his phone. He gasped, dropping the phone and scrambled back away from it. On the Phone was a large ref eye blinking at him, before it pulled away revealing a blond-haired man that was experimenting with facial hair. "Ahh! I see your ceiling! Light! Do you not know how facetime works? Quickly get in the camera!"

He peered over looking over at his phone, the video call feature was one that he knew of but it wasn't exactly something he had ever used before, mostly because it was a little on the loud side. But for someone as abrasive as Keigo it seemed more than appropriate. "Keigo? Why are you calling me?"

"Ahh sorry! I would have come in person but I I was so excited I couldn't hold myself back!" The background spun as he gave a loud laugh. Showing up at his door banging. "I'm calling you to offer you my assistance!"

"Assistance with what?" He groaned glaring at the phone. He groaned glaring at the corner of his phone where the time still flashed. It was later than he normally got up, but he'd been staying up later than normal because of Moe. Oh right, he needed to check what time they were meeting up.

There was a pause followed by at least three months worth of teeth showing in Mirio's smile. "With your quest for Rumi's heart of course!"

"What do mean my Quest for Rumi heart" He said still half asleep.

"Oh! Moe told me plus she is living with me I have eyes!" Despite how happy Keigo sounded he felt his heart drop into an ocean of panic. "Apparently she's been blabbing to everyone that you have a crush on Rumi!"

crap! he should have sworn her to secrecy! or bribed her with something! "it's not what you think we're just-"

"Friends? oh Light, don't think you can lie to me. i can see your blush! and i know how you stammer when you're having girl problems!" Keigo laughed spinning in his chair once again. "now tell me, aside from your own nervous heart what's stopping you from asking our old classmate out? Besides the bullying it's been years plus you both better people I know for a full fact she regrets it."

"How-" He swallowed, feeling the same nervousness he got whenever he was alone with her swelling inside of him. "How do I know if she likes me?"

"You ask her." The flat delivery wasaccompanied by an expression that held no humor. Then Keigo's smile came back followed by a short laugh. "I'm serious Light! I know how much Rumi has changed, but she's always been honest with her feelings. If she hasn't asked you out then that's because she's not sure about yours."

The camera shifted and Mirio was leaning on his desk, like he was about to share a secret. "But let me ask you this, does she touch you a lot?"

"Yes but that's just-"

"Does she compliment you? Does she always try to find a reason to spend time with you? Does she smile at you? And I mean really smile at you?" He paused, tapping his head, his smile smooshed to the side as he rested his head on the table.

"Yes, but-"

"Then she likes you." Keigo smiled once more and turned the camera to the computer, revealing one of the dating advice sites that was still saved on his.... Wait. "Or at least that's what these websites say!"
