Playing As A Fool [Ayato x male rivals+taro+info]

1 - 7: finding a start

Me and Osano walked side by side in silence. Cold wind picking up his bright hair and letting it sway gently.
"Can you stop looking at me?" He turned his face away, "I know it's weird to see me without my hair clip but you don't need to make it so obvious," he covered my eyes with his hand.
"It's not really weird, uh how should I say this... It's cool, I guess." I grabbed his wrist, pulling his hand away from my face. The voices of couples and friends meeting up filling all the noise that was gone.

"HEY!! OSANO-KUN! AISHI-KUN!" We both got tackled from behind and saw a bright smile on Aso's stupidly happy face. "Where's Taro-kun? We're supposed to sign up for clubs today. re-mem-ber~? They talked about this yesterday."
"Sorry, I wasn't really listening. Anyways shouldn't we hurry and change our shoes? I'd like sometime to rest." Walking a little fast made Osano and Aso walk fast too.

"Do you think Taro will be alright? Ugh, of all days to be sick... I thought idiots didn't catch colds..." He was mumbling to himself, looking for his locker. He met us at the courtyard door, "sorry but I think I'll be going to cl-"
"Hello darlings!" Kizano wrapped his arms around us and pulled us in, "and who is this lovely man? Gosh he has the face of a faithful puppy!" He squeezed Aso's cheeks in his hands.

"M' Azu Retue! M' Aizi-cun'n'Ozunu-cun'z frnd!" Kizano was like a hot pot with gleaming eyes.
"GAH! THIS FACE IS TO CUTE! MY OH WHY DID YOU ALL HAVE TO BE SECOND YEARS?!" He hugged Aso like he was an innocent and pure child and struggled while doing so, with a guy that tall it was bound to be hard. We sat at one and only bench near the fountain, Kizano tried to persuade me and Osano to join the drama club. He was gonna involve Aso to but he quickly and worriedly turned him down.

Kizano glanced over his rose gold watch, standing he said his farewells as we said ours even though we were going to see him again later. Me and Aso sat in the class, loud and rambunctious. Osorõ wasn't present today and didn't come late either. It was a quietly painful class, history then literature? What could bore a person more? Aso was nodding off to sleep the whole time, and I'll be honest I was too.

Lunch was almost just as painful, the only thing making it easier to handle was eating with friends since Osano asked us to eat with him and the others. They were like... Their normal... And I realized something that seemed to distance myself farther from the group... Even though I was sitting there, though I was eating with them... I hadn't gotten to know any of them or connect on any sort of level... I know that it's only been a couple days but... But it feels like they've known each other for a while and Aso is blending in perfectly with them.

Something took over me. I felt so estranged. Would this lead to this group overlapping with the past? A hand touched my back.
"Are you okay? You look sorta pale dude," Pippi looked at me, her concern was so clear.
"Yeah, you look like you've been sweating bullets. It's not to hot in here is it?" Ryuto handed me some napkins looking between me and Pippi. She looked around the table. All the staring is kinda nerve wracking.
"I'm fine... I'm perfectly fine and dandy. I was just thinking about if I left the oven on or something of the like," I wiped my face and finally looked up from my lunch. The whole group looked so scared and worried... Was it really that big a deal for me to feel I fit in here?

Kokona looked around and sighed putting her juice which she wasn't drinking down.
"We know that your new here, all of us if not most of us were here for our first year and this year's orientation. So it's pretty easy to spot a new face. Not a lot of people talk about it but your really handsome, like unusually handsome and it's not spoken of but it is texted of and that your pretty well known... Of course your def wondering how I know and how this connects to that... Someone... If you wanna limit the crowd, a club leader has been talking about you... About your "past", we don't know if it's true or not..."

She paused thinking of what to say. "We won't ask you and none of us here can tell you who blabbed off about you so if you wanna know who did it go to this room... He'll def ask you about your past and all the info he can snatch with his dirty little glasses so if you don't feel comfortable with telling him you can use my name... Here's the latest tea to trade and please, please, please wear heavy facial layers. He'll know who you are in a heartbeat if he sees your face." And just like that she got up and left, leaving me with a piece of paper... Her name on a card and drama with some guy and two couples.

And lunch ended without a thought...

Whoa it's been so long and holy cow 1k?! Why?! Man I really tried to pump this out and to be honest I was also working on the Easter special for a while but I gave up on it... If you wanna know the over view on the Easter special↓

Ayato, Osano, taro and Aso owed Inco So they worked at his bar which was a bunny boi and girl bar to fill in for workers who called in that night. As they are working Omao, Kizano and Megai had entered the bar as patrons. They flirt a bit with Ayato and complement the others. That's mostly it. I was also making art for it but writing and art drains a lot out of me...

You could say I was pushing myself a bit, and I'm really thankful for you guys whom have patiently waited. Again thank you and I'm still sorry for the really delayed parts
