My Yashiro || TeruNene

maybe you'll like this timeline

"the.. butterfly effect. you know what that is, right?" teru clenched his fists and glared at him.

"what are you on about?"

"the theory where the smallest flaps of a butterfly wings could form a tornado far away."

teru's brows furrowed even further, his anger rising the more akane keeps talking about this whole timeline thing. the clock keepers changed the past? now they have a new present?

"who knows? maybe some people might like this present more than the old one.." akane casts a glance to teru while fixing his uniform. "..could be you, president.." then he looks away. "...or yashiro-san."

yashiro-san.

teru's eyes widen. he had been so caught up with beating akane that he had forgotten her.

he gives akane one last glare. "we'll talk about this later." he then sprinted out the room, looking for nene to see if she had already recovered her memories.

akane stared blankly at the open door where teru had just ran from, sighing and looking out the window.

"trust me, you'll prefer this one."

.

the loud chatter from a crowd of people immediately invaded his ears, his eyes moving around in quick motions, passing through several people. the school festival is really busy today, huh?

though lots of eyes and squeals of fangirls were directed at him, he didn't bat an eye nor smile, he's focused on finding one particular person. he walks through booths, his fans, any other obstacle in his path.

and yet he can't find her—

"minamoto-senpai?" a soft and feminine voice called out to him. already recognizing the voice, he sighs out internally then turns around with a kind smile.

"oh? akane-san, hello." he says politely, his facade is perfect as always when interacting with aoi. "have you perhaps seen yashiro-san?"

"your girlfriend? she's in the restroom, currently changing."

teru kept smiling, the two words she had first said engraved in his brain, while the others just went in one ear and out the other.

"she was really bummed out when you were too busy to see her play, she's even the lead actress.." aoi stated in a sunken voice, in hopes to let guilt take over her best friend's boyfriend.

while aoi kept on conversing with backhanded statements, teru's brain had long shut down due to two words.

your girlfriend.

yashiro? with him?

he pinched his cheeks when aoi wasn't looking.

it hurts.

what a weird dream!

"minamoto-senpai!" he snapped out of his thoughts immediately. he looked at nene, his fingers twitching on his disguised katana.

"y-yashiro-san.." he blushes a bit and smiles, completely discarding aoi from his peripherals. his heart felt like it was about to break its way from his chest when she twiddled her thumbs together. a habit of hers when she's shy.

"uhm.. would you like to... walk around? you have been busy lately and it's nice to take a break for once in a while..!" she smiles that is no different from an angel's, and his heart melted. "though it's okay if you don't want—"

"sure." he answers all too quickly.  "like a date, right?" he already knows the answer. he just wants to hear it from her.

"..yes."

blood spurts out of him mouth and falls down with his hands clasped together.

"m-minamoto-senpai?!"

thank you, aoi. please don't ever bring back the old timeline again.

when nene regained her memories, a few pieces of him died.
