Chapter 8: Evenings Spent With You

At the end of the day, Shinobu gave you her number. "Let's hit the bar sometime", she winked. You were left looking dumbfounded as she made her way to her precious Tomioka. Meanwhile, Obanai frowned.

"The bar she described, it's kind of... explicit. I'd rather not have you go there", he said in a concerned voice. You narrowed your eyes. No one was around, he didn't have to pretend anymore. Did he... actually care?

You shook the though. That makes no sense, right? He likes Mitsuri, and he's not the type to change in a day. "Why thank you, I appreciate your concern", you said dramatically. And he blushed, just a little.

Wait a minute. 

He BLUSHED.

You laughed. You couldn't help it. "You blushed?" you crowed happily, "Wow, do you even have my number?"

Obanai frowned, "Now that I think about it, no. Give it to me." You quickly gave him your number and he saved it as Yuki_Business. You looked confused so he explained, "I wrote why I know you after the underscore. You were a little disappointed. "Oh, OK". 

He sighed. "Look, I'm blunt. I can't help it, and I know some wounds sting, but I really can't help it. Please, bear with me for the moment, and save my contact". You agreed, sort of, with his reasoning, but you couldn't help saving his contact as Obanai Iguro High School, as formal as you could make it. Obanai looked at it and sighed again, somewhat amused at your idea of 'revenge'. 

After a bit of silence, he asked, "Do you think Mitsuri was jealous?" Yes, she was. "Maybe we should keep the charade up for some time", you suggested, "Since Rengoku is also going to be hard to win over". Obanai nodded. "Makes sense. And also, give my snake back to me". You tugged at Kaburamaru, who looked indignant and made motion of biting your hand. 

You yelped and stumbled into someone behind you, who caught you by the shoulders. "Yuki! Are you alright?" Rengoku asked worriedly. You yelped again as Kaburamaru hissed at Rengoku, who smiled his oh-so-perfect smile. "Hello, Iguro! How are you?" he asked. "Fine", said Obanai stiffly, "Now if you don't mind, give my girlfriend back to me". 

With a jolt you realized you were still in Rengoku's arms, which was disturbing. But then Obanai pulled you close to him, which was even more disturbing. Seriously, what was up with this guy? One minute he apologized for being blunt, next he was the sweetest boyfriend in the world. (Why does that rhyme lmaoo)

"Of course, of course, so sorry", Rengoku noted, though his smile didn't reach his eyes. "How's Mitsuri?" you asked, trying for a subject change. "She's perfect", Rengoku said, kind of looking at Obanai the whole time. "I love her so much". Obanai gritted his teeth and pulled you closer to him. "I love you", he said abruptly to you. "Why don't we hang out at a cafe?" 

At this point you were ready to die or turn to stone forever or run around screaming, all of them were probable options. Instead you tried a, "Of course, Obanai". 

Rengoku watched you all the while as you walked away. 

Maybe that's when your affection for him slackened a bit.
