Was It You All Along? {GiyuShino}

Chapter 9

Shinobu Kocho's POV

Huh? Since when was Nao an actress? I took out my phone and googled her

She was a K-drama actress... Damn... And the water pillar liked her? Did he and Tomioka San like her? What if they are the same-

"Can you believe it? The water Pillar and Nao Nakamura are dating!" huh? I heard Mitsuri clash into the front door, She opened the door rubbing her head

"Really? I didn't know that..."

"Nobody did silly! They just announced it!" I wanted to talk to him... I'll just call him at night before bed. "Anyways, you know those guys who have been visiting our cafe these mornings?" I nodded

"The black-haired, Obanai asked me out on a date~"

"Really Mitsuri?"

"Yes, beloved purple lady~ he looks pretty cute!" talking about purple, my hair dye was fading away... I should buy a new hair colour packet...

"About my hair colour, I'm gonna go get a packet" Mitsuri nodded as I left the apartment. My mind was still on the dating announcement, first of all, Nao didn't tell me that she was an actress... Second of all, why didn't the water pillar tell me? I thought we could share secrets... No... It's stupid, he hasn't even shown me his damn face-

"My apologies" I bumped into someone, it was Tomioka San... On the other hand, since she started dating the Pillar, she won't need Tomioka San right? "Ah Shinobu, what are you doing here?"

"Good Evening Tomioka San! I was gonna buy some hair colour"

"Oh, I see, the purple shade?" I nodded. "Mind if I keep you company?" oh my god... YES!

"O-of course!" he smiled... That's the first time I've seen him smile... So pretty. "You should smile more Tomioka San"

"I don't smile often doesn't have any reason to"

"Edgy much?"

"Hehe"

We reached the supermarket and went to the hair colour section

"Why did you choose purple?" he asked

"I like the colour, doesn't it match me?"

"You look pretty with it" he smiled again, guess he was lying when he said that he doesn't smile much

"You seem to smile without any reason"

"Just when I'm with you..." holy shit... Kiss me... Wait what-???

"A-ah I got the colour! Haha!" I tried my best not to stutter from my dry throat. He nodded as we headed to the counter

"Do you dye your hair alone?"

"Mitsuri helps" I paid for the hair colour as we left

"Can I help you this time?" is he flirting with me-? No... Stupid me falls in love with every guy I see! It's stupid!

"If you want to, but tomorrow? Mitsuri is- Oh wait! Is your friend going out with anyone? Someone named Obanai?"

"Obanai Igoru? He is not the type to go out on dates..."

"Ohh, Mitsuri told me that she had planned a date with your friend, my place is this way, I'll catch you tomorrow at the cafe?" not that I wanted to leave him...

"Yeah, sure... Call me sometimes okay?" he walked away, thank god he did cuz I bet that I am blushing... Why does he have to be like... This?!

I really should stop thinking much about him, it's distracting me from my daily routine, I think about him day and night... I should stop...

I reached home and was welcomed by Mitsuri who was on the couch

"Great timing! Wanna talk to my date?"

"Obanai?" she nodded, I didn't respond to her but sat next to her

"Hi?"

"Doesn't your friends know that you are going on a date with Mitsuri?" I growled

"No, I haven't told them yet, they would just tease me about it, and it is none of your business and how the hell did you even know it?"

"Well then, it's none of your business too!"

"Guys, please don't fight-" Mitsuri tried to stop me but I was mad, we took care of each other and he had no right to that it wasn't my business

What does he think he did? Bloody masked black shithead!

I got a call from the water pillar, I didn't want to answer it but I wanted to ask him about Nao

"What is it, dumbass?"

"Hm? Did you give Giyuu your brain when you guys got separated? Saw you at the supermarket ~" is he stalking me??

"How the hell did you know?"

"I have my ways"

"And what's up with the dating shit with Nao?" I didn't want him to date anyone else... Not that I wanted him or anything-

"Can't I date anyone I like? Jealous?"

"In your dreams! Giyuu San and I had a good time together!" he laughed from the other side

"You are precious" I was shocked to hear his response... I'm precious? How? Before I could utter another word, he hung up the phone... Damnit you damn pillar!

Next Day

"Thank you for visiting! Come again!" the cafe was quiet this time, peaceful, just the way I wanted it to be. Tomioka San and the others aren't here yet, now I am worried...

"Lost in thoughts?"

"I guess..." I smiled at Makomo, she was always there for me when I was done too...

"My friends will be visiting, so the VIP room will once again be occupied, you don't mind right?"

"Of course not, go ahead!" she smiled, just as she was done, a man with peach hair and a scare on his cheek along with Tomioka San came in

"Talking about them! Come on up"

Giyuu Tomioka's POV

Sabito has been distant from me, maybe it's because I haven't called him for a year. Or was it because I am 'dating' Nao?

We got inside the cafe and saw Makomo and Shinobu talking. My Kocho looks pretty as ever...

"Talking about them! Come on up!" I didn't get a chance to talk to Shinobu, I was dragged up stars by Makomo and Sabito

"Your sister wants to meet your 'girlfriend' which you don't have AND you are not taking Nao" The Tomioka family and the Nakamura family were always in a fight, not that I knew why

"And that's why I think you should take Shinobu!"

Shinobu?
