How do I ask him..? Yuri nervously went in H/n's direction, a book wrapped around her arms. It was one of her favorite ones and she wanted to share it with him. Natsuki surely wouldn't mind if she had to read her manga alone again.

"Do...do you want to read?" "Oh. Yuri. What is that?" H/n asked.
"It's one of my favorite horror novels. Maybe you wanna read it together..? You said you are open for new things.." Yuri replied, twirling her hair.
"Well, sure. I guess I can give it a try."

"Natsuki, thanks for your help again. I really owe you one." Monika smiled with her warm and polite smile.
"Yeah no problem!" Natsuki was glad she was able to help.
She put down the box with all the stuff for the festival.

Her eyes looked for Yuri. She was sitting next to H/n. Reading a book. They were so close. What was that feeling all of the sudden? Why?
Why did Yuri chose him over Natsuki?
She clenched her fists.
Good! If she preferred him, then Natsuki will prefer her Mangas as well!

Yuri looked up. Where was Natsuki?
She finally discovered her in the corner next to the door. Was she mad? "Yuri? Whats wrong?" H/n put his hand on Yuris shoulder, gently moving his hand over it.
But it felt so wrong. Natsukis head on her shoulder felt better. Yuri stood up. "I.. I have to go. Maybe we can continue the book tomorrow or something."
H/n nodded.

"Natsuki? How are you..?"
Natsuki didn't look up. Yuri stood there as if she was rooted to the ground. "I'm.. Sorry. I thought it was okay for you if I'd spend some time with him."
Finally, Natsuki looked into Yuris eyes. Her eyes were slightly red. Was she crying? "You obviously don't realize what's happening! Do you even know what he's doing? You deserve someone better than him! He did the same thing with Sayori yesterday! He fixed her jacket!"
Natsuki shook her head and crossed her arms.
"Why do you say that.. What do you know? Are you jealous Natsuki?"
Yuri asked with a demanding voice.
"NO!! Why would I??"
That was too much. Natsuki ran out of the room, tears rolling down her cheek. Why why why? Why was she feeling that way??

Yuri watched her leaving. She didn't know what to do.
"Oh. She will calm down. She just needs some time for herself." Monika said to Yuri, she had watched the whole scenario. "What happened?"
Sasori joined them. H/n asked:"Did I do something wrong?"
Yuri turned around, looking him directly in the eyes. "Yes."

"That's it for today guys! Write your poems at home and remember that we're a literature club, not a drama club!" Monika laughed.
Sayori smiled awkwardly, well knowing that Yuri didn't.

On her way home, Yuri decided to make a special poem this time. A poem she never wrote before. A completely different poem.

She grabbed her favourite pen and a piece of paper.  Sun and moon.
That's what her title was gonna be.

It took her a while and some tears to finish it. What was she thinking?
Was that even true? If H/n was a person like that, then she wouldn't want to do anything with him any more.
She stood up, leaving the poem on her desk. Yuri decided to go out for a walk to clear her thoughts.

She walked across a path and sat down on a bench next to a beautiful oak tree. She looked up to the sky, watched a few people walking past her. One of them had short pink hair. Just like Natsukis..
"Uhm.. Yuri?" Natsuki???
"Oh!" Yuris eyes widened in surprise as the pink haired sat down next to her. "I'm sorry, am I disturbing you?" No. It was a good timing. "No.. I wanted to talk to you, but I was a little scared.." Yuri looked away.

"You wanted to talk to me? About what?" Natsuki asked her. "Yes.. I wanted to apologize.. I'm sorry that I broke my promise. I wanted to continue the book with you..but instead I read a different one with H/n. That was wrong. I know you're disappointed and maybe don't want to talk to me. But I'm really really sorry Natsuki. " Yuri looked into her pink eyes. Natsuki blushed a little and answered:" It's okay.. I just don't want you to be happy. I don't know why I feel like that but you're really important to me.. I just don't know."
Oh well. That was the most emotional thing Natsuki ever said. She never thought she was able to do that.

Yuri smiled. "Thank you Natsuki. I'm so glad." she gently placed a little kiss on her cheek.
Then she stood up and added:"I'll see you tomorrow.. Goodbye''
Natsuki watched her going down the path until she disappeared.
She placed her hand on her cheek.
For a while she just sat there and then she made her way home.
