chapter four : melted lollipops

"thank you so much, dears..." the granny said, holding risa in her cage close to her chest.

"it's no prob. but we ain't the guys who caught yer cat," enomoto said, turning his gaze to you and kaji who were soaking wet.

"kaji-kun. l/n-chan. thank you," the granny said, standing in front of you and kaji. "it's thanks to you that risa-chan is back home safe."

you still had your wet school uniform on and was drying your hair with a towel kusumi had given you.

"oh, of course! we're so happy to help," you replied, smiling brightly.

"yes, i'll be careful next time."

you sighed, taking another lollipop out of your pocket (how big is that thing??) and unwrapping it slowly. it was strawberry flavored. you smiled, twirling it in your fingers as you sucked on it. silently, you watched kaji and sakura argue with a small smile on your face.

"ahh...it's too cold," you deadpanned.

"L/N!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING??!" enomoto screamed, blocking his eyes with his hands as you stripped off your top.

"hm?" you took off your blouse and scrunched it over some plants, letting the water pour from it. "i have a sports bra, so it's fine!"

"NO IT'S NOT!!"

"WHY ARE YOU DOING IT IN FRONT OF THEM?!" kaji yelled, standing up.

beside you, sakura's face turned impossibly red and you swore you saw steam coming from his head. "p-put that back on!!" he said, trying to cover his eyes.

"psshh, it's not like you can see anything. i'm wearing a sports bra," you said, still smiling.

only kusumi and suo were the only ones not freaking out. i mean, it's not like you were naked, so why are they overreacting?

"y'know, in my opinion, it's way better to wear a sports bra than a normal one," you rambled, sakura getting error messages left right and center from your topic, "'cause then the chances of you getting raped or molested are less. it's way harder to remove a sports bra than a normal on—"

"shut up about bras, we don't care!" kaji yelled. from behind you, he draped his furin jacket around your shoulders, voice firm but tone caring.

"oh—thanks, kajii!" you then turned to sakura again, not even bothering to wear the jacket. "what was i saying? oh right, the streets at night are really dangerous here—"

"WEAR IT PROPERLY, YOU DUMBASS!" kaji said, forcing your bare arms into the sleeves of the black jacket.

"what?? this is so unfair, why do you get to walk around topless and i can't?" you complained, letting him drag you around.

"you're a girl...stupid."

you stood there in silence and let him button down the jacket, making sure to hide your breast. a smile made its way into your face. he's such a nice guy.

"kaji, look, the sleeves are oversized!" you said, waving your arms around to show him. "i like the way it looks like that. see?"

he let out a breath from his nose; you didn't know if it was a scoff or a laugh. "yeah," he said quietly, "it's cute."

your eyes widened and your smile turned into a grin. "really? wow, that's a lot coming from you—"

"stop moving, i can't button it properly!" he said, pulling the sides of the jacket closer.

"okayy~"

when done, kaji left you to traumatize sakura more and returned to the small group of second years with enomoto and kusumi.
