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

Chapter 21

Previously on Chapter 20

"Awee~ so cute!!" Kotoha said. Haruka's face turns even redder. He quickly eats his food and grabs my hand. He pulls me along with him as we rush out of Pothos Cafe. I let out a giggle at how flustered he is from the seemingly endless teasing we received from Kotoha. But I'm glad that Haruka seems content with our relationship, it just shows how much he truly loves me.

-Choosing The Class Rep-

Y/N P.O.V

Haruka slides the door open. He releases my hand as he rushes towards Suo and the others. "WHAT IS CLASS REP?!" He exclaimed while pointing at them. I let out a soft giggle as I walk inside the classroom calmly.

"Why are you so angry?" Nirei asked. I let out a giggle as they all seem so confused. I lift my hand, giving his back a gentle pat to calm him down. I turn to look at the others and smiles at them. 

"Anyway, why did you even discuss about it through messages when you can just discuss it here!" He said, still looked a little annoyed. Suo turn his head to look at me as if asking for explanation.

"He's just a little flustered by the amount of messages you guys sent in the group chat. Well, can't blame him since he's not used to it. Right, Haru-Chan?" I said. He turn to look at me with his cheeks still red. I let out a giggle and gently pat his cheek. He huffed and turn his head away from me.

"She's right... don't worry about it. We'll be discussing it now" Suo said. I hear footsteps coming closer towards us. I turn my head to see three guys. "We'll be discussing it with the Tamon's rep and vice rep..." he said.

The guy with headphones on walks towards the seat by the window. He takes a seat as the taller guy stands in front of us. He starts to talk about today we'll choose the one who'd be the class rep.

Suo slowly raise his hand. I turn my head to look at him. He has a small smile on his face. I thought he's going to be volunteering himself, but he ended up pointing at Haruka.

"I recommend Sakura-Kun..." he said. Haruka's eyes widen at what he said. I smile softly as he stares at Suo in disbelief. Nirei, Kiryu, and Tsugeura agrees with his choice.

"I choose Haruka as well" I said, raising my hand. He turn his head to look at me in disbelief. I stand up and walks up to him. I place my hand on his shoulder. "It's okay, Haru-Chan. I'm sure you're going to be a good class rep. We'd be backing you up, isn't that right, guys?" I said, giving him a close eyed-smile and turn to the others as I said the last sentence. They nod their heads in agreement.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ALL YAPPING ABOUT, HUH?" A voice yelled, making me jump. Haruka is quick to catch me before I fall over. I turn my head to see it's the guy with headphones on. "WE'RE ASKING YOU TO HURRY UP AND CHOOSE THE CLASS REP! WHY ARE YOU TAKING A LONG TIME?!" He said, with a high tone.

One of his friend walks up to him, slowly removing his headphones. "Hurry up and choose already" he said, in a much calmer voice. I blink my eyes as I realize why he's yelling. The song playing through his head piece must have been so loud. Is he trying to make himself go deaf?

"YOU! YOU'RE CLASS REP! Okay done!" He said, while pointing at Haruka. He sits back down after putting his headphones back on. He place another lollipop inside his mouth.

"What the-? I didn't even agree to this yet!" Haruka said. He turned his head to look at the guy standing in front of us. "Aren't you the class rep?! Why did you let him decide that?" He said, pointing at him.

"Hah?! You got it all wrong. The class rep of Tamon's is him... KAJI RRREN" he said. I turn my head to look at the guy with headphone. He just stares at us from his spot, with a lollipop inside his mouth. I turn my head to look at Haruka to see him staring at Kaji-San in disbelief. He probably think the taller guy is the rep. Well, that's what I thought too.

Haruka still isn't sure about it. I gently slip my hand in his, making him turn his head to look at me. "It will be okay. I'm sure you'd figure out how to be a proper class rep, Haru-Chan. I have faith in you!" I said, giving him a close eyed smile.

"O-Only because y-you asked..." he said. I notice his cheeks turning red like they always would whenever he's flustered. I let out a soft giggle and turn to look at the others. Suo and Nirei give me a thumbs up. I just send them a grin.

We're currently walking around the town. My hand is being held by Haruka. I turn my head to look at him to see him deep in thought. He looks a little troubled as well.

"Is there something wrong, Haru-Chan?" I asked. He turn his head to look at me, as he seems to have snapped out of his daze. He stares at me with a confused gaze. I give his hand a light squeeze. "You look worried about something. Do you wanna talk about it?" I said, staring at him with a worried gaze.

"I'm just... not sure if I'm gonna do good as a class rep" he said. He stops walking and turn his body to face me. "What if I failed?" He asked. I frown at what he said. I step closer to him. I place my hand on the back of his head, gently guiding his head to rest on my shoulder. His arms automatically went around my waist as he pulls me close.

"Don't worry too much about the future. None of us know for sure what will happen. It's only going to make you restless and stress. It's not good for your health" I said. I gently push him to pull away from me. I lift my hands, and cups his cheeks. I lean my forehead against his, as I smile softly at him. "It would be best if you worry about the present, and focus on what you know best, Haru-Chan. I'll be by your side... helping you the best I can" I said.

"You're the best, Y/N" he said. I just smile at what he said. He leans his face closer to mine, closing the gaps between our lips in a quick kiss. He pulls me close after, burying his face into the crook of my neck. "I love you. I don't know what I would do without you. So don't ever leave me, okay?" He whispered in a hushed tone.

"I love you too... and I will never leave you" I said. He tighten his arms around me. I place my hand on his head, gently caressing his dual haired color. I smile to myself. I'm so glad that I can provide the comfort and reassurance that Haruka needs. I'll be here with him, for as long as he needs me.
