underground, nagi seishiro ✓

𖥻 20

your necklace, made of real gold, is tied around you by suzume.

the two of you met at your place to get ready for the party together.

meguru is also already here, helping yoichi with a few small arrangements.

seishiro will also come and you just found out that suzume invited reo. even after you asked her twenty times what's going on between the two of them, she didn't give you an answer.

you can see it clearly in her shining eyes. there must be something between the two of them.

"do you think it was a good idea to invite seishiro and reo?" suddenly asks suzume, who has been thinking the whole time and is therefore still not quite finished with her makeup, even though the party starts in less than 20 minutes.

confused you look at her, quickly realize that she really means it. "what's going to happen? yoichi thinks i'm bringing just you and not seishiro, but he won't freak out" you don't sound too sure yourself.

yoichi really doesn't like seishiro and then there's meguru, who still likes you and certainly doesn't think it's funny when the white haired is there with you.

you best friend shrugs. "i kind of have a weird feeling about this," she forces a small smile onto her lips, refining her look before she quickly helps you; your hair falls loosely over your shoulders and your makeup is a bit more noticeable than usual today. "come on, let's go! we're already late," taking your hand in hers she pulls you out of your room down the long stairs.

since it's a beautiful and warm evening, the party takes place outside. probably most of them will be fooling around in the pool again, which you really don't feel like doing.

in general, you don't feel like going to this party, but the thought of seishiro, who promised you he'd come, pushes that feeling away.

when you arrive at the garden, there are already a few people there. the music is not yet as loud as it will be in a few hours, but nevertheless a few people are already dancing on the tiles in front of the pool.

half-naked girls who are only walking around in bikinis are hanging on to topless guys.

you honestly ask yourself what you're  doing
here.

"i'm going to get us something to drink," suzume whispers, to which you nod and look around.

there's no sign of yoichi, meguru is standing at the bar with a few of his rich friends, of course there are also quite a few girls there, and seishiro doesn't seem to be there yet either.

in the distance you see hyouma, with whom you went to class back then. he also spots you and waves to you happily, so you decide to go to him while suzume gets you something to drink.

putting on high heels, in which you already have problems walking, was perhaps not a good idea. and then also walking by the pool, which is already wet and slippery, just as little.

you can hardly realize it, as you're already slipping away and threatening to fall into the pool, but suddenly a strong arm wraps itself around you and pulls you to a familiar hard chest.

"oops, princess" the person whispers in your ear, and that alone makes you weak again — he really has too much of a grip on you, but you don't want to do anything about it either.

"shouldn't people like you be able to walk around with books on their heads? what happened to you?" he's making fun of you again, but the kiss he then presses on your forehead makes you forget about it.

"you actually came" you're happy to see the boxer, who is once again dressed in all black and shits on the dress code.

but that's exactly what you love so much about him; that he shits on everything, just does his thing without letting anyone tell or forbid him anything.

you could really still learn a lot from him.

the white haired grins cheekily. "of course. but only because you asked me so nicely" he presses his lips to yours.

to be honest; you can clearly feel a gaze on you, but at that moment you don't care.

[...]

refreshed you leave the bathroom and want to go back to the garden. the evening went very well, but as suzume said before, now you also have a very strange feeling.

"you still haven't told her?" asks a person whose voice you know very well. immediately, however, it becomes quieter, you hear exactly the whispering of your best friend, who tells reo to be quiet.

confused, you creep closer to the guest bathroom, the door is only ajar. "i don't know how. i haven't told itoshi yet either" you hear your best friend say, which only confuses you more.

you don't have a clue who this itoshi boy is, right?

she had never told you about him, nor can you remember any guy with whom suzume still has contact. "you don't have to tell rin. you broke up because it was better that way. he'll understand, and so will y/n." your eyebrows are furrowing and you realize a few things now.

how suzume knew about the underground and the people there, why she was so distrustful of seishiro and why she kept giving rin looks.

because she was with him.

itoshi rin.

disappointed and also a little angry that your best friend kept something like that from you, you quietly make your way back to the garden. you've kept seishiro waiting long enough and don't want him to stand around alone any longer.

coming into the garden, you see something that makes you stop instantly — your eyes widen as you see two people lying on the ground. one is sitting on top of the other and in the next moment is punching the weaker one in the face.

"sei! get off meguru right now!" he he doesn't seem to be listening to you. no one does anything, even yoichi isn't there again, so now you have to be the one to break them up. "sei, please!" you put your hand on his shoulder, wanting to calm him down and get him off meguru at the same time.

seishiro stops in mid-motion, slowly turns his head in your direction before actually getting off meguru.

he smiles, despite his bloody lip, and gets up. "there's our adorable little naive y/n. you should know the story of your oh-so-great seishiro, too, shouldn't you?"
