"Guren, stop teasing!" You pout at the dark-haired male as he held a chocolate bar high enough so you couldn't reach it.

Guren chuckled, "You're so adorable, (name)."

In the sidelines, your white-haired lover's eye twitched in annoyance as his grip on his pencil became tighter. Shinya sat quietly in his desk, trying to do his classwork. He just wanted utter peace, but you and your so-called "best friend" were too busy making a ruckus.

Although, he couldn't vocalize his complaints about your clinginess towards Guren. Your relationship with him was somewhat a secret, since your families never really got along together. The Hiragis and the (last name)s in the army always seemed to clash, despite being on the same side in the ongoing war. Any word of your relationship would mean hell for both of you.

"Shinyaaa, I don't need any other guy in my life. You're all that I neeeeed!" You once said.

Oh really.

Shinya honestly despised Guren Ichinose with a burning passion. He always managed to beat him in every single way, which made Shinya always come in a close second. Guren was always better at hand-to-hand combat, sparring, looking good, persuading others, flirting -almost everything.

The only thing Guren isn't better at than Shinya is being straightforward about his feelings.

Shinya had already had feelings for you since the first day of high school. But he knew that you and Guren had been with each other since you were children, which may have given him the upper hand. He also knew of the Ichinose's feelings for you. So, Shinya confessed on a hot summer afternoon while you two were at the park.

"S-Shinya-kun, I feel the same way,"

He was never happier his whole life.

But now, it seemed like you were only playing with him. Somehow, when you two got into a relationship, you grew even closer to Guren, instead. Too close for the white-haired boy's comfort. And every time he would ask you out, you'd politely decline and say that you were going to be with your best friend.

Suddenly, a loud crashing sound snapped Shinya out of his thoughts. He could hear his classmates howling and cheering and they were gathering at the back of the classroom, where you usually sit.

Out of curiosity, he stood up from his desk to see what was going on. And the sight made his heart clench in his chest.

You were lying on the floor, with your arms on either side of you, red dusting your cheeks. Guren was straddling you and had a smirk on his face. Shinya's gaze diverted to your fingers that were intertwined with Guren's with a chocolate bar in between.

The sounds of his classmates cheering blurred in Shinya's head and he could only hear his heart threatening to jump out of his ribcage.

When Guren leaned in, probably to kiss you, Shinya snapped. He stormed out of the classroom, shutting the door with a terrifying force behind him.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Apparently, it seemed like you were the only one who heard the loud bang from the door. You managed to get a glimpse of white hair before the door shut. Shinya must've seen the fiasco Guren was causing.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" You angrily say to Guren, whose face was inches away from yours.

"What does it look like? I'm going to kiss you," He said smugly.

You frowned. "You're my best friend. Why the hell would you kiss me?"

He leaned closer to your ear. "Because I love you, (name)."
