"And today's forecast is going to be in the low 60's with an 80% of rain.", the weather woman said. Touma sighed, and looked around for his umbrella. He checked under the couch, under his shared bed, even in the kitchen. No luck.

"Hey, Index, have you seen my umbrella anywhere?", Touma called out. No response. The teen sighed, and walked outside, holding his binder above his head. It somewhat worked, but all his things were bound to be soaking wet by now.

"Hey, Kamijou", a voice called. Touma looked around, and saw Accelerator walking towards him with his umbrella. Touma received a quick flashback from the little song incident from yesterday. His face turned pink.

"Hi, Accelerator...", Touma replied. The white haired teen held out the navy blue umbrella to his crush.

"Think this would work better?", he asked, smirking lightly. Touma's heart skipped a bit when he saw that small smirk on his face.

"What the hell?", he thought.

"Um, sorry... for uh, embarrassing you like that... yesterday...", Accelerator said, and rubbed the back of his neck, awkwardly.

"No, uh, I should apologize... it was kinda rude of me to run off like that, yeah?"

"Yeah, it was kinda rude", Accelerator's cheeks turned a light pink.

"That's... kinda cute...", Touma thought, "... Wait... what?"

... "Hey..." ... "Hey, Kamijou!!"

"A-Ah, huh? What?", Touma blinked, snapping out of his thoughts. Accelerator sighed in frustration.

"You didn't hear a single word I said, did you? Dork...", Accelerator mumbled. Touma continued walking alongside his... enemy? No... crush... no... admirer. There we go. Accelerator suddenly stopped walking. Touma turned to him.

"Eh? Something wrong?", Touma asked.

"... If you're not into me, you can just... tell me.", Accelerator stated. Touma's gut clenched... this certainly wasn't going to end well... the tanned boy bit his lower lip. He honestly didn't know what to feel... Accelerator has sorta been his enemy, and, well... they're both dudes... but... he wasn't sure...

"Come on, idiot... say something!!", he thought to himself.

"... I'm not into dudes.", he blurted.

"You ruined it.", Touma thought, mentally slapping himself. Accelerator's jaw clenched slightly.

"Okay... that's cool... see you 'round", Accelerator said, and lazily waved as he rushed to school. Touma sighed, and used his binder to smack himself in the face.

"Fukou da..."
