13) A Game

A/n: Warning I suck at angst TvT

"The first to pull away, loses then?" Y/n clarified, sitting cross-legged in the room where they worked on the projects. Ran nodded as he held up a pocky. "Pretty simple, right~" You nodded as he sat across from you. "Ready then?" You nodded as he placed the pocky in his mouth. You did the same on the other side.

It's pretty simple but too simple, you thought as you took a bite. With another bite closer, you realized something. Your eyes widened when Ran cupped your cheek. Ah, I remember! This is a one-way trip to a kiss!

He smirked as he leaned over you, only a bite separating the two. Your hand unconsciously fisted his shirt, trembling. I'm kinda scared. I've never been kissed before...

You squeezed your eyes shut. Ran paused as he studied your expression for a split second, his eyes narrowing.

Snap!

You blinked as he slowly moved back, finishing the snack. "Bummer, guess I lost~" he said, chuckling. You stared up at him as he smiled.

Y/n avoided eye contact. "You could have easily taken advantage of that," you mumbled. Ran cupped your cheek again and pecked the side of your cheek.

"And make you uncomfortable like that. What made you think I'd do that?" he whispered, smiling softly.

Your eyes flashed at the tenderness in his voice, gaze, and all the way down to his touch. You felt another kiss on the other side of your cheek. "I'll just skip the game," Rin stated from behind.

You chuckled, a lone tear trailing down your cheek. "H-hey," Ran stuttered, worried. "Is something wrong?" he whispered, taking your hand away from your face. The other wiping your tears.

You shook your head, Rin's arms around your waist. "Why are you two so nice to me?" Y/n chuckled dryly, "I'm sure, by now, you know what my mother is like, and I've told you what happened to the...others." You took a shaky breath. "Yet you're both still here. You're always there." Unmoving, you think.

"That's because we like you," Rin replied. "We like you, therefore━"

"━We care about you," Ran finished. You chuckled, "Cute. You guys finished each other's sentence."

"Yeah, I know. We're the cutest in the world~" You giggled at Ran's antics. "That's why you're crying, right~" Rin teased, poking your cheek. You nodded, "We'll go with that~"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

You covered your mouth, a light blush on your cheeks, as you tried to contain your laughter. Ran and Rin exchanged a look, both giving you a soft smile.

You're the cute one.

"Your eyes are red and puffy," Kiyoko stated.

"Yeah, I know."

Y/n was eating lunch with Kiyoko again. Like she had said, your eyes were still red from yesterday.

Sebastian had flipped when you came back home. He was about to go straight to the Haitani's house━butter knives in hand━with his usual smile.

It took the rest of the day to calm him down. Even your mother had to step in. But still, he hasn't calmed down.

"Here." You blinked at the cold, wet towel. "When did you get this?" you asked, taking it. "Just now."

That fast!? Y/n thought, pressing it against her eyes, with a thanks.
