☆Tokyo Debunker☆ [imagine]

Third wheel (MC x Lukas, but from Kaito's POV)

Lukas Errant.

The name was scribbled on the corners of your notebook while your mind drifted away from Anomaly History to space.

You didn't know when you started developing such feelings for the boy but it happened.

The ever righteous boy, upholded such a noble demeanor all the time. Despite all this, unlike some in Darkwick who have high positions, he remained humble and kind. You recalled the first time he defended you against Romeo's deadly bullets. Back then he didn't even know you, yet he chose to protect a stranger, it just came so naturally for him.

That's just how he was.
You convinced yourself, in order not to overthink even further.

A boy like him would treat anyone with kindness and respect.

"..."

"Mc?"

You jumped right uo from your seat, slamming your notebook shut.
"Luka-! And Kaito, hey,"

They hadn't seen anything right?
You thought behind a smile.

"Class was over 5 minutes ago, and Kaito had been calling you, but it looked like you were too engrossed with your notes."
Lukas chuckled before waving for the three of you to leave and have lunch.

------------------------☆---------------------------

Shocked. Panicked.

Or was he really?
He kind of expected it didn't he?
Kaito bit the inside of his cheek, thinking back to the name he saw written again and again on your notebook. So you've fallen for Lukas?

Oh great, do girls only have their eyes on noble guys?
But as much as he hated to admit, Lukas was genuinely a sickeningly good person.

Nevertheless, the blonde lamented. If you liked Lukas and Lukas liked you back and the two of you became a couple, won't it mean...

HE WAS THE THIRD WHEEL EVERYTIME THE THREE OF YOU HUNG OUT?!!

Kaito groaned, alarming the two in front of him. The both of you turned to ask a synchronized 'are you alright?'

Even their thoughts are the same.

Forget about going to the dating stage, even now Kaito felt like a third wheel.

"Just hungry,"
He replied.
Grams always told him it was better for two to be in love with the another than two to be in love with another.

So he decided, the first step was to find out if Lukas felt the same for you.

------------------------☆---------------------------

He observed from the sidelines. During sports, stigma training, any class the three of you had together he mentally noted everything down.

Brush count: 5 this week.

Blush count: 3, Mc-2, Lukas-1

Eye contact more than 5 seconds when silent: 1

"Yeah that pretty much checks out,"
He whispered to himself as he watched the two of you joke around.

"Kaito, what about you?"

"Huh, what about me?"
He blinked at the question.

"When was the last time you saw a professor walk the wrong way down the corridor?"

"Uh, i have no idea actually. Oh, but did you guys know there had been rumours saying the never blooming cherry blossom might bloom soon?

You and Lukas shot each other a look of surprise.
