It's Okay To Be Different (Sakura Haruka X Reader)

Chapter 16

Previously on Chapter 15

"Oooh~ someone's getting bashful" Nirei teased. His comment makes Haruka blushes. I let out a laugh at his reaction. Although, I didn't expect to hear from Suo that he harbors feelings for me. I feel bad that I have to hurt his feelings. Yet, I can't do anything about it because the one I love will always be Sakura Haruka... my beloved boyfriend.

-A New Friend-

Y/N P.O.V

I walk next to Haruka. Nirei and Suo walks a couple of steps behind us. He's still flustered with the way those two teases us. Even so, he doesn't seem to regret that he had openly admitted about us. Which makes me happy.

He turn his head to look at me, noticing that I'm staring at him. "W-What?" He asked. His cheeks turning a little red. I let out a soft giggle and shakes my head, assuring him that it was nothing. "Then... why are you smiling?" He asked.

"It's nothing! I'm just happy..." I said, grinning at him. He raises an eyebrow at me. "I'm happy about how open you are about us" I said. He blinks his eyes and smiles at me. He gently slip his hand in mine.

"Of course. Why would I be ashamed of you? You're the best thing that's ever happen to me" he said. He lift our entwined hands, gently placing a soft kiss on the back of my hand. "Without you... I'm nothing" he murmured in a hushed tone with his lips still pressed against the back of my hand.

"Haru-Chan..." I said. He smiles softly at me. He turn his head to look over his shoulder behind us. His eyes widen as his cheeks turns red. "What's up with you?" I asked, furrowing my eyebrows at his reaction. I turn my head. But before I'm able to see what's going, Haruka had covered my eyes.

Sakura P.O.V

I cover Y/N's eyes after I what those two are doing. The two of them are hugging one another as they make kissy faces at each other. I glare at them, as I feel both of my cheeks turning red. Damn those guys!

"Eh? Haru-Chan? What's wrong? Why are you covering my eyes??" I hear my girlfriend said. I turn my head to look at her. She's placing her hand on my wrist to try and get me to remove it from her eyes. But I quickly pull her close instead, making her rest her head on my chest.

"Knock. It. Off!" I hissed at them. They let out a laugh as they finally stops their little mischief. I roll my eyes and finally let Y/N pulls away from me. She quickly takes a deep inhale.

"What was that for?? I couldn't breathe, you idiot!!" She said, hitting me on my chest. I winced at her action. Her eyes widen. "I am so so sorry! I forgot you were hurt!!" She said, panicking.

"I'm fine..." I said, gently placing my hand on her head, gently ruffling my hair. She let out a sigh of relief. She sends me an apologetic smile. "Don't worry about it" I said. I gently grab her hand as we make our way inside the school.

A While Later

Y/N P.O.V

We're now walking inside the corridor of the school. Me and Haruka are still walking ahead from Nirei and Suo. I hear them calling out for us, and for Haruka to not be so flustered.

It makes me curious what's going on when he covered my eyes. But I know better than to ask him. The last thing I want is for him to be uncomfortable. So, I'll just let him be.

"Is it just me... or everyone's staring at us" I hear Nirei makes a comment. I turn my head to look around, and just like he said. Everyone is indeed staring at us. I feel a drop of sweat running down the side of my head. Why did they stare at us like that?

We open the door to the room, only for everyone to come and surrounds us. Turns out, they're just curious about what had happened. They seem to hear that Haruka has fought against the second strongest of the Shishitoren gang. They also questioned me about how I used to be a part of Shishitoren.

All I can do is let out a nervous at the attention they're giving us. Haruka is not doing any good either. He's a blushing mess with the way they're all surrounding us. I scoot closer to Haruka, and grab onto his arm.

"Are you both dating??" One of them asked when he notices how close we are. I turn my head to look at Haruka who also turn to look at me.

Haruka let out a sigh. "So what if we are?" He said, as he turns his head to look at them. His response only makes them question us further. Like when we started going out and who confessed first.

I turn my head as the guy that's been working out finally stops. He approaches us which makes everyone tense. Seems like this guy is one of the strongest, which is why everyone is quite scared of him. But turns out, he was quite friendly.

He starts questioning Haruka about his aesthetic. I let out a laugh as Haruka seems confused by him. He turn his head to look at me for a brief moment before turning his head to look at them.

He invites us to go to a cafe. But no one seems interested to go with them. Their reasons are quite, how do I put it... obviously made up.

He seems disappointed that his invitation got rejected by everyone. "Erm... Tsuge-San..." I said. He turn his head to look at me. I smile softly at him. "I'll come with you. I will bring Haruka along too" I said. Haruka turn to me with his eyes wide. I turn to look at him. "What? It'll be rude to ignore someone who only wants to be a friend!" I said.

He let out a sigh at what I said. "Just because you asked me to..." he said, with his cheeks tinted red. I let out a soft giggle and cheer happily. I hug his arm which only makes him blush even redder.

I let out a soft giggle as I watch his reaction. It's always been so easy to get him flustered. That's Sakura Haruka for you. But aside from that, he's my boyfriend and I wouldn't change anything about him.
