My gaze on you, a dangerous war]

You remembered walking into class and was completely mesmerized by the sight before you. Your classmates were passing out chocolates, some exchanging with each other while others were busy devouring the chocolates that they have received. Overall, they were all drowning in the moment and atmosphere of love, which was an extremely rare scene considering how every morning was just students cramping books in their faces. You were lost at first, till you finally caught the dates on your whiteboard.

'14th February'

It was Valentine Day today! You cringed at the numbers as you realized how terrible it was that you've forgotten this important date. How was it possible that this slipped your mind!? You didn't have any gifts or chocolate prepared, not for your classmates, and especially not for your friends outside of class. You frowned as you made your way into the class, a few students noticed you and handed you some friendship chocolates, which you embarrassingly accepted knowing you had nothing to return to them. Still, that was least of your concern. There was something else that you should be EXTREMELY worried about.

Akabane Karma and Asano Gakushuu.

These two boys were like stars born from the opposite of the galaxy, just like a pair of dog and cat. They basically hated each other's guts with deep, deep indescribable passion. And you've always wondered which witch cursed you in the previous life, because this troublesome pair of enemies are.....

Well, to put it in a frank way, in love with you.

There's every single thing wrong with this equation. First of all, none of them bothered to hide their feelings like normal ordinary humans with proper feelings of nervousness would do. Asano was your very first friend that you achieved when you first entered the school. Despite not being in the same class, he still made it a point to communicate with you frequently. Which, at the start, you thought was natural and you appreciated the effort. You've saw it as a way for him to be closer with the student body since he had the role of a student president. In the end, you were obviously proven wrong when he suddenly trapped you in the corner of your class, hand pinning you against the wall, breath travelling down your neck. Saying you don't remember what he whispered in your ears is just a big fat lie. You were flattered that you've scored a top score in the president's heart, but there's...factors towards why you can't accept.

Now his counterpart, Akabane-kun, was nowhere better either. That boy used to be in your elementary school, and you weren't surprised that he managed to enter Kunugigaoka Junior High either, especially with his smart brain. In spite so, you've never had a single interaction with him until you were in your second year. The both of you landed in the spot of 2-D at that time, and he talked to you occasionally. Furthermore, he had that friend of his own that he stuck around a lot too, limiting your interactions too. So it would never come across to you that such a mischievous and cunning boy would end up with feelings for you. Like you said, you wondered which evil being cursed you in your previous lives, because the boy confessed immediately after your incident with the student president. Stopping you outside of school and gave you no chance to escape as he held a tight grip on your wrist, face so close your lips were nearly touching.

From then on, you were stuck with a demon and a devil following and tracking you down 24/7. It's not like you hated them even, matter of fact, you were very surprised but still acknowledged their thoughts for you. After all, it is quite an honour to make a person of a higher rank and a 'villain' falling for you. SIMULTANEOUSLY. Still, the problem at the end of the day, was how much they won't stop fighting in front of you. All hell broke loose the moment their eyes landed on each other, arguing about the most ridiculous things ever. To think the two of them would stoop to such a low debate for your attention was just downright embarrassing as the other students watched. Undoubtedly, with such an intense conflict happening around you, there was no way you could just pick a side. No matter how badly you wanted this to stop, you didn't want to make either of them feel inferior to each other. 'We're all on the equal group here', that was your policy.

So how on earth are you supposed to explain that you don't have a single gift ready for today?

[My chest pounding; shoot an arrow in my heart, you know?
I'll use my charms and take you down, bitch
I'll make only you SICK, so here's this verse, KICK!
Hey, look over at me! Give us kiss!]

Agonisingly, the bell rang for end of school. You glanced down at your notes that was scattered all over the table as you scratched your head in immense frustration. Your heart skipped a beat at the thought of whatever is going to happen the moment the toes of your foot touches the surface on the outside. Maybe if you're fast enough, you just might escape...? With that, you shoved your books into your bag with not a single care. The sounds of the paper crunching up was audible but you decided to ignore it.

"I can do this." You reassured yourself before sliding your chair out. Standing at the exit of the door, you poked your head out like a little bird and scanned around the area, spotting for the strawberry-blonde hair and that double striped blouse. Once the coast was clear, you slipped out as quickly as you can, heading to the exit of the school. Fortunately, you managed to slip past all 'defences' and you finally made it out of the building. However, your target of aware has switched to the red haired devil instead as you briskly walked towards the gate, glad you were almost there till you were very rudely and miserably interrupted.

"Aw, isn't that (F/N)-chan I see?" You knew the voice too well to ignore. You could feel the imaginary tears rolling down your cheeks like waterfall. Turning around with a defeated smile, you greeted the devil.

"H-hi, Akabane-kun..." The signature smirk he wore was there, beside him stood his friend, who was also once your ex-classmate, Nagisa Shiota. "Hello to you too...Nagisa-kun."

Nagisa's expression morphed into a pity one, it seemed like he understood your situation. "Hey...(L/N)-san."

In contrast, the malicious kid doesn't notice anything as he made his way over to you. "I told you, you can just call me Karma."

You stood with utter failure as he threw his arm around you, delivering the words that you didn't want to hear the most.

"Say, (F/N)-chan. Where's my chocolate?"

You knew you flinched, it was too obvious.

"Eh...Ah..." You were a loss of words, when suddenly he bent down to your height, leaning closer to your face. A slightly broken expression decorated his face, as if he had expected something but it wasn't given to him. The feeling, 'I'll be sad' was written all over his smug face. It was very faint, but you could see it well, and it made your heart sunk in guiltiness. Still, that tiny bit of innocence that he wore in his eyes was killing you on the inside and you wanted to cry.

"I-I wanted to get you something! But I wasn't sure what you'd like, maybe ROYCE? Or Melty Kiss? Y-you know?" You beamed and reasoned, hoping it wasn't too fake. His smile returned in seconds as he gestured you to go on to your shock. This guy is greedy!

"...If you want, we can go buy it together..." Your face reddened at the words that escaped your mouth as you hung your head low. After hearing it, Karma broke out into a laughter. There was mischief and happiness swirling in his laughter, and for a second, it sounded so pure and lovely.

"Are you inviting me on a date?" He mocked, but judging by his personality, this didn't come as a surprise to you. Plus, you believed he's secretly elated on the inside.

"Anything you like." You straightened yourself up and stared at him in the eyes, the sweet innocent grin accompanying you. He blinked a few times as you saw that tiny tint of blush that rose on his cheeks. Obviously he hurriedly shook it off like it was nothing. Soon enough, the two of you made your way out of the school, not forgetting to bid farewell to Nagisa who had to witness the whole commotion. As you walked beside him, the façade you had on seemed to playing a pretty good job to make Karma think you're about to have fun while in reality you're freaking out what would happened if someone in particular come across this sight. This would ruined the equilibrium that you've worked so hard for. On the other hand in Karma's eyes, he was silently observing your smile, the way you're focused in your thoughts, and he suddenly felt a sour sensation, a type of urge, stirring inside him and wanting to overcome his entire body. His hands were fidgeting, as if they're hungry to touch something, something soft and silky. His lips kept parting and closing, all the words choked in his throat.

If he can't have you soon, he's going to go insane.

[With a lying lip,
How much more will you try to fool me like this, baby?
You're the only one that I'll ever need
Hey, can I have you every day?
Don't go away!]

"How about this shop?" You inquired.

"Hm..." He glanced at it for a few moment before he nonchalantly shrugged. "Eh, not my thing."

"...That's what you've been saying for all the past shops. Are you serious?"

"Yeah." He let out a small laugh.

You groaned angrily as you pulled your face, you just don't understand what kind of chocolate he's even looking for! Stuck in your own bubble of annoyance, you failed to realise the true motive that Karma had. He's not even a big fan of chocolates, and he's never this picky with the chocolates he gets. But in the end, who else is going to straight up tell you that they wanted to be beside you for as long as they can? Not Karma that's for sure. With his hands in his pockets, you still never noticed the distance between both of you kept decreasing as the seconds go by. Just then, you spotted an extremely adorable packaging as your hand shot out in instinct to hold Karma's sleeve, calling out to him to take a look. The skip heartbeat that he felt inside him was one thing that only he himself would know.

"(F/N)?"

"(F/N)?"

To your intense amount of dismay, you've heard another voice calling out to you at the same time, your world was starting to crumble again bit by bit. For that moment, your heart wanted to just stop working so that you can escape this whole tragic situation. Once more, no way in hell and heaven can you ever mistaken this voice that once resounded so close in your ear and sent the chills that you've never felt before down your spine. Your hand detached from Karma's clothing as fast as a lightning, to his irritation, as you spun around quickly. Coming face to face with the student president whose face is decorated with severe dissatisfaction, his glare could kill the birds and shatter the ground. Likewise, Karma wasn't losing in this scowling fight either. At the instance, your soul wanted to escape from your body and raise to heaven for all eternity.

"(F/N). What are you doing here? Why are you with him?" Gakushuu's words was flooded with toxic and poison. Before you even had the chance to stand your ground, the devil cut in with utmost confidence and cunningness.

"Asano-kun..."

"What's wrong? My girlfriend can't spend time with me?"

"Huh!?" You gasped in fear, "I-"

"What are you talking about?" His glare got even sharper, as if it was going to slice through your heart. "I don't recall her being your 'girlfriend'."

"I don't remember the need to announce my love life to the whole world."

You could feel the electric current sparking between them, ready to set the whole area on fire.

"Usually I would have agreed. But that sentence sounds absolutely bizarre considering that girl clearly belongs to me."

"W-wait what-"Another shocked gasp left your mouth.

"And where's the proof?" Karma's words got harsher.

"I don't remember the need to proof my love life to the whole world."

"Oh..." You covered your mouth silently at the burn, despite knowing you're not supposed to. Obviously, you regretted your action when you saw Karma gave you a pissed but hurt look, while Gakushuu himself wore a grin now. You hurriedly shut up like a clam, not wanting to escalate this horrifying situation further. They returned to their heated argument without giving you another look.

"Either way she's the one who invited me on a date."

"Is that true, (F/N)? I won't be surprised if he made that up, after all, he's just that desperate."

"Er..." You shrunk away from their intensive gazes. "Half...true? I did invite him...but-"

"So it wasn't a date? I see how it is."

"It IS a date. Didn't you saw it with your own eyes? Or are those eyes good for nothing?"

"I dare you to say that to my face again."

"Your eyes are good for nothing. "

"If you need a blue black, you can always just ask so."

"Likewise, cun-"

"OKAY, STOP!" You bellowed abruptly, not wanting those vulgar words to start falling out. "Why do you guys always have to fight? Neither of you are my boyfriend, we're friends. Okay?"

"Who's going to be friend with this guy?"

"Who's going to be friend with this guy?"

You face palmed yourself as the two gritted their teeth tightly. All of the sudden, Gakushuu walked closer to you as you and Karma watched, lost at his action. Just then, he slipped his strong arm around your waist and leaned in closer to your face, causing you to flush fifty shades of ruby. Karma tensed up at the scene but he was boiling with too much rage that it temporarily froze his actions.

"It doesn't matter in the end because you know I'd never lose to a guy like him. I'm number one at everything after all."

Coolly delivering his words, he planted a kiss right onto your forehead. You felt his soft lips contacting your skin as a tingly sensation rose inside you like a growing seedling. Your heart was about to stop with him standing so close to you. Sending you that killer smile which makes the girls swoon, he let his grip loose and gave a triumph glance at Karma.

"Mark my words. She's mine."

He walked off like he had just won the third world war, prideful and satisfied. You sighed, knowing that it was a habit of his. After all, you can't reject him, but neither did you want to accept him either. Sincerely because of a certain presence beside you. You could feel the volcano heat radiating off him the entire time throughout the incident. You braced for any incoming insults that he's about to complain to you, but only to your astonishment, when his finger suddenly touched your chin and held you up, forcing you to stare at him right into the eyes as he pulled the distance closer. The heat once again flooded back like molten lava as you felt it becoming more and more exciting by the second.

"I've used many measures to get what I like. And I will do the same to you, you belong to me and you forever will."

The side of his mouth tugged upward into a dominating smirk before grabbing your face and tilting it to the side. You didn't even have the time to react before another pair of lips kissed you right on your cheeks, the same feeling stirring up again like a whirlpool. The beating of your heart only increased faster and faster as it blocked out your hearing. You held his wrist in bewilderment which was grasping your face until he finally let go. You felt the dizziness rushed into your brain like a tsunami as you got more and more light-headed.

If this goes on anymore, you wonder how you will even survive in their possession.

["My love is in win streak, I've never lost"
I spout lies, show off, lean and fall down
you turn, giving me your usual troubled face
"Yeah, yeah." "Hey, are you even listening?!"
But, I can't bring myself to hate that part of you,
and you're a step above, you always win
I can't talk back, I just can't say a thing!
The angry face I show you is fake]

After what seemed like hours, you were finally done shopping for chocolates. Karma looked at you with excitement swirling in his eyes, his face festooned with a soft smile that felt innocent. You fished out the package that you especially picked out for him and passed it to him, only to be confused when he didn't take it. You blinked a few times and looked at him before he blissfully commented.

"C'mon, (F/N). You're supposed to confess before giving your chocolates~"

"I told you, I'm not going to be your girlfriend. "

"Yet." He added and stuck his tongue out in a playful way. You huffed and decided it was indeed too awkward to give it to him like that. At least put some feeling to it, right?

"Alright fine. But I'm just saying it for your entertainment okay? It's not serious."

"Well, it'd be nicer if it was serious. "

"Beggars can't be chosen, Akabane-kun." You complained and took a deep breath, ready to start your 'confession'. For some reason even after all those time you convinced yourself, you still felt nervous. Your heart was beating a lot slower, like it couldn't comprehend the situation. You closed your eyes and spoke.

"Dear...Karma. Thank you for being my classmate and hanging out with me. I appreciated the time you spent with me and I enjoyed them a lot. Your personality really cheered me up, your mischievous and playful ways of doing things always made me really happy when I'm with you. Maybe with all these happening around us, it is hard to notice. But it would be lie if I say I didn't feel anything when I'm with you. I would love to continue spending such times with you, so will you be my boyfriend?"

You let out the breath you held and pried open your eyelids, flustered by your own words. Partially of the things you said were true, I suppose the only thing left is whether Karma can decipher which one. However, your world spun 180 degree when an unfamiliar sensation touched your vulnerable lips, two firm palms gripped your hand, and the only sight you can see in front of you was this mop of red hair that had a small cowlick on top. You've never had this before, and this was certainly a fascinating touch that you longed to try for such a long time. You wanted to drown yourself in the moment, but you knew too well to destroy the balance and stayed still. Soon enough, he drew away before his fingers touched the side of your very own mouth with such delicacy, you nearly couldn't believe it was the Karma you know.

"I look forward to the day where the confession is real and you would return the kiss. I'm never giving up." He beamed at you before taking the chocolate directly from your hand. You were left with no opportunity to say anything when he walked away with his back facing you, waving the chocolate package that was decorated with 'my beloved' as a goodbye. You let out a heave of sigh and found that you couldn't suppress the smile that had grown on your face. The scene still refused to vanish from your mind as you found how much you savoured it. It was truly a bittersweet moment.

[Rely on me even more
Desire me even more, more
Trouble yourself over me even more
I want, want you to bother me for it
Please, go ahead, don't give me time to breathe
I want to be destroyed Knock Down
Do things that will leave me breathless
I want to be destroyed Knock Down]

You tapped your phone's screen to make it display the time. The screen lagged a few times as you found your passcode glitching all over the place, barely able to see the content properly. The time was already 10PM, another 2 more hours before this important day ended. After giving Karma so much advantage, you figured you just have to pay a visit to someone who's equally important too. Plus, you haven't gave him your 'feelings' either. Taking a few step closer to the grand entrance of his family's private house, you pressed the bell and waited patiently. In a few moments, someone answered the telecom.

"Good evening. Sorry to disturb, but I'm a friend of Asano- Err, Gakushuu-kun. I have something to pass to him, can you let me see him?"

"Certainly. Please enter. " The intercom replied as the front gate opened up, inviting you to come in. Making your way inside, you came face to face with the luxurious lobby that you've always been fond of from the past few times you made a visit to this house. Waiting patiently with the pack of chocolate held between your hands, Gakushuu finally came down from a staircase that was located at the side of the room. He wore a white blouse that seemed formal but still comfortable to rest in. From an emotionless face, it shifted into a contented smile the instance his eyes landed on you.

"Hey. You came all the way here?"

You beamed and nodded. It was nice to hear him not in such a toxic tone but a sweet tone. When he made his way down, he spared no time to walk over to you and grabbed your cheeks, giving another kiss on the forehead. You said nothing towards his affection and changed the topic.

"It's nice when I don't listen to you argue with Akabane."

"...Right. I do get worked up when I'm face with such troublesome people like him. I'm sorry if it disturbs you too much, you know I would never want you to be uncomfortable."

"That's awfully nice of you!" You squealed in delight, "If only Akabane could think like that too."

He seemed pleased that he had been placed a slightly higher rank than Karma. "Anything for you. What brings you here? Celebrate Valentine's Day?"

"I guess something along that line." You lifted up the pack of chocolate that you've brought all the way here. "Happy Valentine's Day, Asano-kun!"

A soft tint of pink dusted the corner of his eyes as it spread to his cheeks too. He reached out his hand and accepted the chocolates, to notice that it was from a shop that he liked. He studied the dessert as the gentle smile plastered on his face. However, it died down a little when he registered something.

"Did you give this to...?"

"...Anything you get from me, is anything he'll get from me too." You scratched your head and gave a faint grin. "Plus, I did gave him a bonus when he received my gift. You ought to get it too."

He stared at you with anticipation.

"Dear Gakushuu. Thank you for being there with me the first time I came to this school. Your presence is always make me feel secure, like no danger can ever reach me when you're around. You helped me out during school despite us not being in the same class, and you gave me comfort when I needed it. I want us to continue staying this way. The next sentence may or may not be real, but will you be my boyfriend?"

"Was that last line really necessary?" He let out a soft 'pft'.

"I told you, I'm not going to become anyone's girlfriend."

"I hope I can change that." He remarked. Without another word, he leaned in onto you, where you can finally feel the sensation of his precious kiss on your own lips rather than your forehead. His palm rested on your (H/C) hair as he brushed it gently, sending small tingles down your neck. Similarly, you felt that your breath was stolen away from you as you struggled to take in even just that little bit of oxygen. Your heart doesn't want to calm down like what you've commented it to do. Even if you enjoyed it, you know you're not supposed to do anything else. After a while, he parted and pulled the distance between you two, where you found that you were already missing the warmth.

"I'm confident I did better job than him."

"You knew?" You were taken aback.

"Frustrating to admit, but I did see it coming."

"Well...I wonder?"

"Say, have you ever considered yet?"

You were stunned by the sudden question that put you on the spot.

"I...I don't know. I don't think I can. Both of you mean so much to me, and I don't want the opposite party to feel...unhappy. I want all of us to be happy." You spoke with utmost honesty.

"...I can see where you're coming from. Still, you know this world wouldn't be so fair. One way or another, you need to end up deciding."

"I suppose..." You whispered out, upset by the reality.

"But, can you give me this chance to be a little bit more selfish?"

"..." You gazed into his lilac irises, there was love and jealousy twirled together as they struggled to fight a spot in Gakushuu's heart. "What is it?"

"Stay with me tonight."

[Listen to my voice even more
Lead me astray with your words, Baby
Programmed love is meaningless
I want love meant only for me
My mind keeps on pretending to be tough
But you've realized the truth, right, my Darling?
"Why?!" I don't know anymore
If only you could just be by my side]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
