cinnamon - nobita + dekisugi

i step on a cherry blossom petal as a sheet of them is spread onto the alley. i didn't realise april was already here when school first started but as the end is nearing i keep on remembering alot of clichés related to this month, and these pink trees.

a cherry blossom filled path to school just like any typical shonen ai, the month of april where sweetest lies are made, someone wishing their feelings would reach their loved one wishing on a heart shaped petal- it is indeed very cliché.

but then there's him. that messy black haired boy who's walking in front of me with his even messier friends. i wonder if he even cared enough comb them let alone look decent.

which reminds me, why is he here at this hour? i quickly glance over at my watch but it still not even 8 then why is he here? i squint my eyes to check if it really is him but there couldn't be any doubts.

he's wearing offwhite sneakers with no socks on, blazer in hand even though it's still chilly in morning, his tie hanging out from his half open bag as his friend's arm weighs him down. there's no doubt this isn't nobita-kun.

i take out my earphones and put them into my pocket without worrying about the tangled wires that will surely give me a headache later.

"exactly, that's why I'm here so early today" i hear a boy say passing by my left.

"that's stupid, you know? coming early just to see a girl in the morning assembly" another girl says to him as i intentionally focus on their conversation now.

"it's not just any girl. it's shizuka-chan" he says squealing as his friend smacks him on the head.

you deserve that

i think to myself, but wait. doesn't that name ring a bell? i mean, I've been friends with her since elementary school but there's more to her than that. for as long as i can remember she's been nobita-kun's one sided crush.

wait a second

is he early today for her too? because there's a performance in the morning assembly? just because she's performing means he can even wake up early and go through all that trouble just to see her? is this for real?

right after saying and doing all that nonsense with me yesterday, he has the nerve to do thi– huh? but why? why would i care? nerve to do what? he didn't confess his feeling or something. nor are we going out. so what right do i even have to be offended at this?

my head bumps into something as i come out of my train of thoughts and look up.

"ora?" that annoying face again.

i sigh and take a step to my right as i start walking forward to avoid any more nuisance but as if he'd let me do that. he grabs my bag from behind making me halt as his friends pass by me, bidding him bye.

"why are you ignoring me like that after everything we did yesterday?"

what? why does he have to say it like that in front of everyone?!

"hey! do you have no conscience? shut up" i say to him trying to turn around but he doesn't let go of my bag.

"why? are you embarrassed to me now?" he grins with a silly face.

"let! go! of me!" i say and finally get out of his grasp as he lets go and i turn around.

"you're seriously so obnoxious. what the hell even is your problem?" i look into his eyes as other people keep passing by.

this is as embarrassing as it can get. having a dramatic argument in front of everyone with the school's representative troublemaker. he gives me a sweet smile before starting to talk.

"you're the one who bumped into my charming chest, shouldn't i be the one complaining? but you're already in such a bad mood" he pouts slightly as i roll my eyes.

"i didn't realise someone dumb would be standing there facing backwards when we're supposed to be walking in the opposite direction"

"uh huh? what about the part where you were completely lost in thoughts?"

ugh, he's so stubborn

"fine, fine. I'll be careful from now on" i say and turn around again but this time his right arm pops up on my shoulder as he clings to me. i look to my left.

"what now?"

"nothing, can't i sidehug my little boyfriend?"

what?!

i hit my left elbow onto his stomach but he stops it before i can even touch him. he must be used to this due to that absolutely infuriating personality of his.

"I'm not your boyfriend. and stop spewing bullshit before i stich your damned mouth"

"kissing me would be better, it might work today"

that's it. that's the limit of my patience.

"nobita nobi if you don't shut up this second I'll seriously rip off your mouth and beat you to death"

"hahaha, really. you have a cute side too, hidetoshi-kyun"

i sigh at him.
