"Yes, sir!!" They said, simultaneously. I lift my hand and place it on his back. I gently rub it softly, trying to calm him down. He eventually relaxes, making me smile. I'd never expect Haruka to act so possessive about me. But it kind of makes me happy, because that way... I know I mean something for him, just like how he means a lot to me.

-A Chase-

Y/N P.O.V

We're now patrolling around the town. Of course, I hold hands with Haruka. Our entwined hands swing back and forth lightly as we walk. I smile softly to myself. I love the feeling of his hand in mine. His hand feels so warm.

I hear someone calls out to us. Well, to Kaji-San. We turn our heads to see it's an elderly woman. She said that Lisa is missing again. I frown at the thought of a child being lost. There's a lot of gangsters around here. The child could get hurt.

Kaji-San assured her that we would look for Lisa. He also requested that she'd just go home and let us handle everything here. He turn his head to look at his friend, and ask him to announce it to the others to make things easier if there's many of us on this search.

"Of course we're going to look for the kid" Haruka said. I turn my head to look at him. Turns out, he's trying to assure Nirei that we'd find the kid. I smile softly at how caring he is. The sound of notification can be heard. I reach inside my pocket and pulls out my phone. Turns out, Suo has sent a message to the class group chat. "W-Why w-would you do that??" He exclaimed with his cheeks flushed red.

"Well, it's to get them fire up" Suo said. Haruka didn't seem happy because it would be embarrassing for him if no one reply. But he's proven wrong when the class start to reply with encouraging words.

"Ah, whatever. Anyway... come on and just start the search" Haruka said. He turns around, only to get hit in the head by something. I turn my head to see it's a cat. I blink my eyes at the sight. I rush to his side to make sure he's okay.

"Sakurrraaa!! Grrrab her!!" Someone yelled out. I turn to see it's the senior that came with Kaji-San. "That cat!! It's Lisa-San!" He said. Oh... the Lisa we're trying to look for is actually a white cat. He and Nirei quickly rush off to catch the cat. But the cat is quick to climb up a building.

"Now how are we going to catch her??" Nirei said. I look up at the cat on the roof, trying to think of a way to catch her. Haruka runs past me as he enters the alley. He starts to jump on the wall, making his way up.

"Oh, Wow

"Oh, Wow..." I said, in amazement. I didn't know that my boyfriend is very skilled in parkour. He's truly amazing!

"Come on, we should hurry in case she climbs down on the other side of the building!" The senior said. Nirei and I quickly follows along. As I run, I didn't notice a root sticking out from the ground. Thus, I tripped and falls down.

"Hey, are you okay??" Someone said, as I winced from the pain. I turn my head to see it's Suo. He kneels next to me. He stared at me worriedly.

"Yeah. I think..." I said. He helps me stand up. I try to take a step, only to wince because of the sharp pain on my ankle. "Ow ow ow... I think I might have sprained my ankle" I said.

"Here. Get on my back. I'll carry you" he said. I just stare at him for a few seconds. But I don't have much of a choice. There's no way I'd be able to walk with this ankle.

I gently wrap my arms around his neck. He places his hands behind my knees to support my body on his back. "I hope Sakura-Kun wouldn't misunderstand me for helping his girlfriend" he said. His tone shows me how nervous he is. I let out a soft giggle at his comment.

"He won't... I'll make sure of it. Thanks anyway, Suo" I said. He turns to me and smiles. He starts to walk to the direction those three had went off to. He adjust me so I won't fall off his back.

A while later

Suo continue to walk. Haruka turn his head to look at us. He frowns when he notices that I'm on Suo's back. He walks over to us.

"Oi, mind telling me why you have my girlfriend on your back?" He said. He gave a deep frown in his face. A clear sign that he's jealous over the fact that Suo has me on his back.

"Don't misunderstand him, Haru-Chan. He's currently helping me..." I said. He stares at me with a confused gaze. I just smile softly and gently pat Suo's shoulder. He turn his head to look at me over his shoulder.

"I'll be fine. Put me down" I said, assuring him with a smile. He nod his head. He lower his body to place me down on the ground. I slowly make my way towards Haruka, limping a little at the dull pain on my ankle.

"Wait... why are you limping, Y/N??" He asked, eyes widening as he stares at me worriedly. I stumble a little and he's quick to catch me. My hands are on his chest as he keeps me standing upright. "Did you hurt yourself or something?" He asked.

"Oh, yeah I did. I tripped and fell earlier. Suo carries me on his back because it hurts for me to walk" I said. He let out a sigh at what I said. "Don't be jealous, okay?" I said. He just smiles at me and nods his head.

"Sorry... I didn't mean to sound annoying. I was just er... jealous at the sight of your closeness with Y/N. Especially since... you know" he said, trailing off a little as he said the last sentence.

"Yeah. Can't blame you. I would to if my girlfriend is being close to another guy, who has feelings for her" he said. He just smiles at Haruka who seems flustered. He let out a chuckle. "Don't worry... I won't steal your girl if that's what you're worried about" he said.

"I appreciate that" Haruka said. He turned to look at me. He steps in front of me. He gently makes me wrap my arms around his neck. He places his hands behind my knees and stands up with me on his back. "It's only fair that I get to carry you on my back too. After all, your boyfriend is me not him..." he said. I blink my eyes at what he said.

What makes me surprise isn't that. It's the fact that he's willingly to actually admit that he was jealous of Suo for carrying me. I honestly didn't think he would admit the fact that he was jealous of Suo for carrying me on his back. You sure are full of surprises, huh, Haruka?
