YOU & YOU' 𝙣. 𝙨𝙚𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙧𝙤

08

It has been a month and the anticipated sports fest was nearing. The excitement for the event was high, and every day that passed seemed to get students even more hyped for the final event. The event was going to take place for a whole week, which some students took as an opportunity to escape their schoolwork.

The school's gym and fields were both crowded with students training for the upcoming sports fest. With each day passing by, they only grew to take training more seriously, considering it would be quite the accomplishment to win any of the competitions, as many were highly competitive.

Right now, a certain duo was in the field training. One complaining about the other not focusing, while the said other was complaining about wanting to see a specific someone.

"Reo... I don't know why, but I want to see her with every second, minute, and hour of the day. I want to see her now actually."

"Dude, you just saw her a second ago."

"But that's a second too long." Nagi whines.

Sighing, Reo decides that ignoring him would help rather than continue the useless bicker. 'He'll get over it.'

Halfway through the practice match, he came to a horrifying realization.

Oh.

My bestfriend likes my other bestfriend.

You think he wouldn't notice the changes in Nagi's behavior when you're around? The way his face would light up when he sees you? The way he would constantly look for you? The way he would cling onto you any chance he gets? The ever so slightly affectionate gestures towards you? Nah.

He knew something was up, he just didn't know what. For the past few weeks or so, Nagi had grown even more handsy with you. Nagi isn't even that touchy towards Reo compared to him with you, and that says a lot.

'How do I help him though?'

Reo thought long and hard. He wants to give Nagi what he wants, obviously, but how? Plus, he doesn't think there's anyone else worthy of being with Nagi than you, the person he trusts with his whole life. After constant thinking, a thought came in mind.

'Ah. I know. But I'll have to wait until the sports fest for it though.' With a determined look on his face, he already came up with a formulated plan.

"Hey Reo, I scored three goals. You told me you'd tell me where she is."

Getting caught off guard, he snaps out of his thoughts and faces Nagi. "Oh, right haha..." Rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly, he continues, "She's at the gym helping with props and decorations."

10:33A.M.

I was busy cutting up some vibrant colored foil for the decorations, when all of a sudden I feel arms being wrapped around my waist. Startled, I drop the cutter and was about to turn my head to see who it was until I feel a sharp pain from my finger.

"Ah-" Hissing, I turn to look at my, now bleeding, finger. The cut wasn't that bad, it just caught me off guard.

The person behind me took my hands in their's and brought it closer to them for inspection.

"Sorry (Y/n)...." Ah. Nagi.

"Hey Nagi, it's fine. It's just a small cut."

I turn to look at him, only to see a frowning Nagi in front of me. I giggle, to try and seemingly lighten up the mood. Even so, the frown remains on his face.

My hand still on his, he states, "We should treat these. C'mon."

He continues to drag me, careful not to accidentally squeeze the cut. We continue to walk until we reach the gym's closet.

Inside were shelves filled with sports equipment and extra towels. Looking around the shelves, I finally spot the first aid kit and grab it.

I take out the necessary ointment and tools and begin treating the wound, not before disinfecting it. After finishing, I wrap it up in a bandage before returning the kit where I first got it from.

"Sorry for startling you..."

I lightly chuckle at that. "Nagi, it's fine, really."

"Give me your hand."

"Huh?"

I stare at him with a brow raised, only for him to stare back with his usual poker-face face. Although confused, I give him my hand as curiosity took over me.

He was quick to grab it and before I knew it, I felt the touch of his lips make contact with the bandaged finger.

Flustered at the gesture, I stutter out, "Wha- What? Huh?" He shrugs.

"If I kiss it, it'll take the pain away."

After treating the cut, the two continued to make their way outside the closet. (Y/n) was about to approach the unfinished decoration that she left after the incident, until a hand grabbed her wrist.

"I don't want you to get hurt again. Stay with me."

"Nagi... you know I have to finish this. The deadline's coming up..."

"So? Leave it to the others then."

Deadpanning at his bluntness, she sighs before deciding that it won't hurt to stay with him. "Fine."

In response to her reply, he gives her a slight smile that never failed to make her heart skip a beat.

"(Y/n)-senpai! I need help with putting up these decorations!"

"Okay! Coming!"

And with that, (Y/n) left Nagi's side, leaving the boy to groan.

'Didn't I just tell her to stay with me?'
