19 | Souda

Komaeda left his classroom after school the next day.

Nanami walked past him and smiled slightly. "Komaeda-kun?"

"Yes?"

"You've been looking really happy lately," She said. "And when you smile genuinely, your smile is really nice." After that, she walked off.

"What?" He whispered. "Thank you..."

"Damn, you got girls falling for you now?" Souda asked, grinning. "Hell yeah!"

"I like men,"

"I knew it!" He suddenly yelled.

"Do not disturb Komaeda. Leave him be." Tanaka told Souda.

"I wasn't disturbing him, you asshole!"

"Taking bets on who someone wishes to conquer marriage with is pathetic."

"I wasn't betting on it! I was just- just assuming!"

"Assuming is unjust and weak."

Komaeda laughed. He didn't have to fight Souda over this. "Tanaka-kun, You're sweet. I like you," he said.

Tanaka turned bright red and covered his face with his scarf. "I am not sweet! I am the overlord of-"

"Blah blah blah. Accept the compliment, this is the closest you'll ever get to having a girlfriend," Souda told him.

"I do have a romantic companion, for your information!"

Just then, Sonia left the classroom as well. "Hello again, Gundham!" She kissed his cheek. "Are you all ready for our date? I bet my driver is already waiting for us,"

"I am ready, my dark queen,"

"Hell nah!!" Souda screamed. "You're dating Sonia-san now??"

"They've been together for two years," Komaeda stated as the couple walked off.

"Nooooo!! I have no girlfriend, no money, no job, no hobbies and no friends!!"

"I thought you were a mechanic?"

"I am! But that doesn't count. It ain't my hobby, it's my talent. Wait, I saw you hanging out with that guy a lot lately! The one with brown hair. He looks hella cool! You gotta make him become my friend!"

"What?"

Souda grabbed Komaeda's hand. "Let's go!"

The pink-haired boy dragged Komaeda to the main course, grinning. "What does he like? Cars? Screwdrivers? Girls? Working out?"

"Just ask him yourself,"

"Oh, there he is!" Souda grinned from ear to ear. "What's his name?? Go get him!!"

Komaeda walked up to the brunet.

"Hinata-kun, hey!" He said. "Uhm, I brought Souda-kun from my class. He wants to be friends with you?"

"Huh?"

"Hey, Hinata!" Souda said, grabbing his shoulders. "What do you like?? Do you like Cars?"

"Uh, I mean... yeah, they're cool,"

"Hell yeah!!"

Komaeda frowned as they all went to Hinata's house together. Souda wasn't even friends with him, this was boring.

They sat down in Hinata's room and talked about such lame things. Souda really wanted to talk about girls.

"So, what typa girls do you like, eh? Tall girls? Short girls? Long hair or short hair?"

"Uh... I never thought about girls like that. I guess I like girls who... have long hair. Or short. And tall girls are pretty. But short girls are pretty too, so... I don't know,"

Komaeda stared at the wall. This wasn't the first time he felt like this. He had felt different from the other guys a lot. He didn't like any of the typically manly things. Now, Hinata wasn't a manly man bodybuilder, but he was definetly a classic masculine guy. So was Souda.

He felt so excluded. He didn't care about cars. He hated sports, so working out was a no-go. And he didn't like girls either.

"So if a girl asked you out right now, would you say yes?" Souda asked.

"Do I know her? If not then..." he looked over at the pale boy. "Hey, Komaeda. What's your type?"

"Hm?"

"What type of guy do you like?" He asked.

"Uhm... I don't think Souda-kun wants to hear about that,"

"I want to though," Hinata said.

"Then... I suppose I like guys who are tanned. I think that looks good. And dark hair is nice. And a handsome face. But a charming smile is the most important thing when it comes to a man's looks, in my opinion," He said.

"And what about a guy's personality?"

"Hm..." he smiled. "I like guys who are blunt. And guys who are funny. Someone who accepts me the way I am,"

"You know what you want," Hinata said, leaning towards him.

Souda raised an eyebrow.

"So? What do you like in a girl?" Komaeda asked, feeling more comfortable now. Hinata looked at his face. His pretty face with his pretty white eyelashes and pretty green eyes and pretty nose and pretty light pink lips and- Hell no.

"I... gotta go piss. Be right back." With that, he hurried off and locked himself in the bathroom.

Fuck no! He didn't even like boys! He only liked girls! Now, if Komaeda was a girl, he would wanna be her boyfriend, but he wasn't! He was a guy! A guy with nice long legs like a model and a laugh that made his heart skip a beat every time he heard it, but still a guy! A boy! If Komaeda was shirtless, would he even be attracted to him?? He knew damn well he liked shirtless girls, but guys looked different. If he dated Komaeda, would he be like his rude ex boyfriend who got disgusted when he saw his flat chest? He couldn't date Komaeda because he didn't know if it was genuine or if he just liked him for his face.

His face was pretty androgynous after all. If it was just his head, Hinata wouldn't know if he was a man or a woman. But he clearly wore the male uniform. His name was for men too.

He imagined Komaeda flirting with him for a second. Komaeda running a hand over Hinata's chest. Komaeda sitting on Hinata's-

"ARGHHHH!!!" He shouted. He was a horrible friend! He shouldn't be thinking about Komaeda in a romantic way! Komaeda deserved a good man. A man who knew he liked men, a man who was attracted to him, a man who would treat him well.

"Hinata-kun?? Are you okay??" Komaeda asked from outside the door.

"Uh, yeah! Just slipped! I'm fine!"

"Really? Are you hurt anywhere?"

"Yeah! I mean, no! I'm okay!"
