♈ Ayato Sakamaki - One on One ♈

Ta-ko-ya-ki!! Ta-ko-ya-ki!! Takoyaki from Yu-i! I chanted in my head while happily walking down the hall with a boat of freshly-made takoyaki Yui made in my hands. As I pasted the gym, I heard a ball bounce and the swish of a net.

I wonder who playing right now? I was about to push open the door, before remembering, What if it's one of the brothers in there? Welp, what have I got to lose? Again, curiosity got the best of me and I pushed the door open. I quietly crept under the bleachers. Between the cracks, I can see a certain red-headed big-shot trying to make a basket over and over.

Seriously? Out of all the guys I can bump into, it had to be Ōmono. No derp, what does the title up there say?

He stopped bouncing the ball, and looked at my direction. "What are you looking at?" I held my breath, hoping he wouldn't walk over. "I know you're there Kyonyū." Shit, I'm caught. I slowly walked out of my hiding spot and my eyes met his narrow, green eyes.

"Umm...nothing. I guess I'll be going now?" I backed up to the door, but before I could get away, he grabbed my wrists and pulled me close to him. Why am I getting a huge sense of déjà vu? "Let go you cocky, big shot!!" He looks at my other hand and lets me go.

"Why do you have takoyaki with you?" My first instinct: Protect the food!! I hid the takoyaki boat behind my back.

"What takoyaki? I don't have any." I said dumbly, but he saw right through me. I next thing I knew, the bastard had the boat of the crispy, octopus delights in his hands. "Don't think about lying to me. Especially with takoyaki." I tried to grab my lunch back from the cocky bastard, but he was too tall and kept the takoyaki out of my reach. He smirked at my attempts.

"My takoyaki!!" I cried. "Give it back!!" Ōmono didn't listen, but instead, he said, "Fine, if you beat me at a game of Horse." Eh?! But, I suck at basketball!!

After a game of HORSE....

"Wahh!! Give me back my tako!!" Guess who won? Obviously not the big shot who's eating my takoyaki right now.

"This is delicious! Where did you get it?" He asked me with the food in his mouth. That's mine!!

"M-My takoyaki!! Yui made it for me!!" I whined. He looked surprised when I said that Yui made it.

"R-Really? Pancake's cooking is really good." He said while blushing. Wait, blushing? Don't tell me...

"Oh my god, you like her." I said in realization. Omono went red when I said that.

"W-What are you talking about?"

"You like Yui!!" I said while laughing. This is amazing news!!!

"Are you crazy? Chichinashi is just food to me." He's denying it.

"Stop lying to yourself. You're the closest to her out of all of the others. And, I can tell you hide your true feelings with insulting words. Why do you think I don't bother protecting her from you? Guys tend to make fun of the girls they like." I took the chance to snatch the remaining takoyaki from him.

"Shut up. You don't know what you're talking about." Damn, hardcore denying.

"Gosh, you're acting so much like Mother a few nights ago." I started to remember that night. Can't believe he has that side to him. (Refer to the Reiji Sakamaki - Black Magic chapter)

"What, Reiji? That tableware otaku? I am nothing like him. What did he do anyways?" I snapped out of the memory and shook my head.

"Nothing. Right now, we need to talk about your crush."

"How could anyone like that flat board? She's weak, helpless, and so naive!! She's just my prey."

"Just stop denying it and confess!!" Suddenly, there was a clatter at the doors and the both of us turns towards it. We both saw Yui standing there trembling. Oh shit. Did she hear the entire thing?

"Umm, gomen nasai!! I'll b-be going now." She was on the verge of tears and ran out. After she ran out, I smacked the cocky big shot upside the head.

"Hey!! What was that for?!" He shouted.

"What was that for? That for making Yui cry!! Come on!" I grabbed his ear and stormed out to find Yui.

"Itai (ow), itai!! Stop it!"

"Not until you apologize!!" I finally found Yui going into the girl's restroom. I let go of his ear and forced him to stay there while I entered the restroom. I hear stifled cries coming from from the farthest stall. I knocked on the stall door.

"Hey, Yui? You wanna talk?" She opened the door and wiped away her tears.

"What's there to talk about?" She said in her usual cheery voice. She was about to walk away from me, but I grabbed her wrist and made her face me. "Don't even think about forcing a smile on your face like that." She stares at me for while before breaking down.

"He didn't have to be that mean!! I know that I'm flat, but he didn't have to say this that I'm weak and helpless!" I was angry, yet relieved. Thank you kami. She didn't hear the conversation earlier.

"I'm sure he didn't mean it. He does hide his true feeling with insulting words. Besides, he was being pressured by me. Don't ask what I pressured him for." Yui stopped crying and looked and bit more relieved.

"You're right, I'm being a drama queen." I smiled and walked out with her. Surprisingly, Ōmono was still at the same spot where I left him.

"Ōmono here has something to say to you." I called him over.

"I'msorryIcalledyouallthosemeansthingsIdidn'tmeanthem." He said quickly while hiding his face.

"I'm sorry, what was that? I couldn't hear you." I said.

"I'm sorry I called you all those mean things. I didn't mean it." He blurted out. Yui had a tiny blush on her cheeks.

"Y-You don't need to apologize!! I was o-overreacting." I felt a small string pulling at my heart. Keep it in, girl. You're helping them.

"Welp, I better get going. You two just hang around together alright?" I patted both of their shoulders and before they could see the tears trying to force themselves out my eyes, I whispered a small promise in his ear.

"Don't worry. Your secret's safe with me."
