"@uni_mafumafu: Soraru-san ate melon in a crab shop."

~~~

As Mafu quietly took his things in his locker, Soraru decided to break the awkward silence.

"Mafumafu," Soraru said, saying his full name this time. "What were you telling me earlier?"

"Uhh... hmm, nothing," Mafu said as he blushed.

I don't want him to know just yet, Mafu thought.

"It sounds important though, but... are you alright? You looked really angry at Lon."

"I... I just have to think about it... and... yeah..."

As Mafu closed his locker and walked towards the classroom, Soraru quickly grabbed Mafu's wrist, resulting him to stop. "Mafu," Soraru said seriously, pulling Mafu close to him. "Are you avoiding me? Do you hate Lon-?"

"No."

"Are you sure? You've never answered so quickly before."

"I'm sure, Soraru-san."

Inside, Mafu's heart is racing really quickly. But at the same time, he felt something heavy that made him want to be really serious. It's like he couldn't breathe within this atmosphere.

Soraru pulled Mafu closer to him. "Lon is a good person, Mafu."

Mafu pulled his hand away from Soraru's grip and immediately went to the classroom and got his bag. As he headed out, he saw Soraru sitting in front of the lockers, his hands on his face. Mafu still felt the pain he was feeling earlier when Soraru whispered to the albino about Lon, being a good person.

Before Mafu left the school, he and Soraru's eyes met. Their eyes were filled with regrets and apologies. With sorrow. Mafu immediately turned around and left school and headed to his house. As soon as he arrived in his house, Amatsuki texted him.

"I'm already at home. Are you awake?"

Mafu immediately placed his things in his room and replied,

"Yes, I'm on my way~"

Mafu left his house and headed to Amatsuki's place. When he arrived, Amatsuki was outside. He smiled at Mafu and entered the brunette's house. "What's wrong, Mafu-kun?" Amatsuki asked.

"I... I..." Mafu mumbled as his face slowly turned red. "W-what if I... like someone?"

"So... you like someone?" Amatsuki asked.

"Y-yes..." Mafu replied.

"W-who is it?"

"Ehh... uhh... it's... ahh, it's too embarrassing, Ama-chan!" exclaimed Mafu as his face turned as red as a tomato.

"Eh? It's fine. It's only between us anyways."

"Hmm... i-it's... i-it's... Soraru-san...!"

S-Soraru-san?! Everything's real now! I... I only expected the two to become best friends, Amatsuki thought as he flinched. N-now... Mafu-kun's in love...

"It's... e-embarrassing," Mafu stuttered as he covered his red face with his hands.

Mafu immediately stood and started breathing heavily. He glanced at Amatsuki and smiled.

"W-well... th-that's it..." Mafu hesitated as he headed to the door. "Even if everyone expects me to have a girlfriend, I guess it's not happening..."

"M-Mafu-kun..."

"I'll go now, Ama-chan."

Mafu left and ran to his house. He might hate me for falling for a boy!
