Monochromatic interaction

—See you tomorrow Y/N. –After the bell that indicated the end of classes, Kairi said goodbye to me disappearing into the hallway.

—Now Lukia will be attacked by a monster and then rescued by Karen... Oh, and Hippo will be forgotten along the way. –I thought as I left the room and headed for home. –But now that I think about it... In the manga, there's no mention of how long it took her to come back to Hippo. Well, I have nothing to lose. I'll do him a favour and take Hippo. Then he'll owe me a favour. –I commented in my head and stopped myself in my tracks, then headed towards my sister's class.

When I reached the classroom, which was almost empty, I noticed Lukia's backpack next to a desk. Quickly, I went to where it was and bent down to check that nothing was missing. Or rather, to verify that Hippo was okay.
I opened the backpack pocket a little and I could see that the little penguin was still alive. He was completely asleep, although that was normal, as he had been locked up for several hours. It was understandable that he fell asleep out of boredom.

—If I leave him something to entertain him, maybe he won't fall asleep. Tomorrow I'll give him a Rubik’s cube to have fun in class. –Closing the backpack, I couldn’t help but think how bored he must have been locked up in that tiny place.

—Hey. That's not yours. –As I picked up Lukia's backpack, a male voice caught my attention. –It's rude to steal. –He said again.

With the backpack in my arms, I turned in the direction of the person speaking to me. Brown-haired and brown-eyed, he was obviously the little black prince. His frown was furrowed, it was obvious he didn't like that I was "stealing".
It was clear that he didn't like me, but I didn't care either, since I didn't like him either. For me he's a simple character who doesn't stand out in anything, since he's only important because he's the "love" of the main character.

So, under his angry gaze, I went and put the backpack on my back. I couldn't complete the action, since as he stopped me by grabbing my left arm. –I told you that's not yours. –He said again, this time tightening his grip.

—Hey! That hurts, idiot. –I claimed him for his action, turning to face him.

—Uh? What’s going on here? –A female voice rang out from the classroom door. –Kurosuna?! Y/N?! –Hearing our name, both the little prince and I looked at the girl who was calling our name.

—Do you know her, Sango? The brown-haired one asked a little surprised.

—Sure! She's Lukia’s sister, Y/N. –She explained, coming towards us. –We met this morning. –She just said when she came to our side.

Knowing who my relative was, Kurosuna left my arm. –It was about time... –I murmured rubbing the area where I had held myself. –I came to get my sister, but the only thing I found was her backpack. So I wanted to take her home. –I said as I finished putting on Lukia’s backpack.

—Ah... This... Sorry. –Apologized the opposite.

—It doesn’t matter. –I remarked downplaying it. –But next time, little prince, ask before acting. –I began to walk towards the exit while criticizing his way of acting. –See you, second-rate gentleman. See you again, Sango. –I said goodbye, waving one of my hands in farewell.

—What did she just say? –I heard from afar how the boy asked Sango.

—Uh, I can't take it anymore. Why does Lukia have to be so clueless? She leaves her backpack at home, she leaves her backpack at school, she gets kidnapped... –I commented when I had already left the enclosure and found myself in an empty street. –Well, what are we going to do? She’s Luchia’s daughter, the drama haunts her. –I thought, turning at one of the crossroads, trying not to go along the beach, as it would be in that area where Lukia would meet Karen.

But unfortunately I ran into something, or rather someone. –I’m sorry. –The person I bumped into apologised. –Oh, you're Kairi's friend, aren't you? –When I took a good look at the person in front of me, and after hearing that question, I realised who it was. –What are you doing here without her? I thought you were very close. –In front of me was the white prince.

—Ah, this… –I started to say as I moved a little away from him. –Shit, I didn't remember that the other little prince had followed my sister. –I cursed mentally for such a mistake. –Well... Kairi had things to do, so she went home earlier. Besides, we're not that close, we've only known each other for a short time. –I nodded, trying (still) to get away from him.

—If you want, I can accompany you and keep you company. –He spoke, coming closer to me, closing the space between me and him. –By the way, my name is– –Before he could continue, I interrupted him.

—Shirahama, I know. –I cut his introduction, as this would be the third time I had been introduced to this character. –I'm Y/N Domoto, nice to meet you and all that. I'm in a hurry, if you'll excuse me. –And before I could say anything else, I tried to leave the place.

—Wow, wow, wow. Where are you going in such a hurry? –But for my misfortune today was not my day, and obviously the supporting character would not leave me alone.

—I asked myself the same question. –I told him, because he also seemed to be in the middle of something important before crashing. Obviously, I already knew what it was, but I wanted to see his reaction.

—Touche. –He answered with a laugh. –I was just taking a walk on the beach. –Even if it was a lie, Shirahama said it with a tone full of confidence.

—Of course. –I thought, fed up with his presence.

—And you? –Asked the opposite with curiosity.

—Going home. –I explained in a sharp way. –Goodbye. –I added before running away from that uncomfortable situation. –Run, bitch, run. –I shouted internally as I ran like hell.
