"Isn't it a bit cold to be sitting out here" said that oh so familiar voice behind you. "Not really, I kinda enjoy the evening air. It's so fresh" you said, not even turning around to the tall male. "Aren't you guys heading off to school soon?" you ask after he had made his way over to you and sat down next to you. "Yeah, so? Can't I spend some time with you before we leave?" Yuma asked with a smirk, knowing you wouldn't really have anything to answer to that.

With nothing else to say, you simply moved a bit closer to him, before placing your head on his shoulder. You could feel him flinch slightly in response, but he soon relaxed and placed his arm around your back with the hand resting on your waist. Sometimes you wish times like these could last forever, that you could just stop time right here. But, unfortunately, that was impossible. You always had to come back to reality and realise that these small actions that he made were only signs of friendship or at best means of comforting you, nothing more.

"(f/n)" Ruki then said from behind you, making both you and Yuma flinch, pulling apart from each other. There, he was stood holding a female school uniform. "You and Eve are from this day forward allowed to attend school again. Of course, I'm sure you understand that this means that you're allowed to return to the Sakamaki's, if you would so desire" he said before placing the uniform in your hands. Clutching it, you could feel both his and Yuma's gazes fixed at you, awaiting answers.

After a couple of seconds, you simply shook your head, not even being able to bring yourself to look at either of them as you did. Seeing this Ruki nodded to himself. "Well, if that's what you want, you're free to stay. Nobody's gonna force you to leave" he said plainly, making your face light up. Turning to him, you wore one of the brightest smiles you'd ever worn. "Thank you" you said quietly, and for a second there, you were sure you saw a faint blush on his cheeks.

"Well, (f/n), if you're going to school you better go change" Yuma said, having already stood up as he offered you a hand. After grabbing it and standing up, you quickly made your way to your room to change. Once you were out of sight, Yuma was just about to leave as well. "Wait" Ruki demanded just before he could exit the door. "Kou and I would like to talk to you about something" he continued, and suddenly the blonde male had entered the room.

"Huh? What's up?" Yuma asked, slight irritation detectable in his voice. "Well, Yuma, I tried asking about your relation the other day, but you avoided the subject" Kou said with a devious smile, making Yuma sigh. "Before you left, you said it didn't matter how you felt about her. Now, I want you to explain exactly what you meant with that" the blonde continued, getting closer to Yuma with every word. "We've all noticed you have feelings for the girl, and by the way she's acting, I'd say she has feelings for you too. So, why don't you take the first step, getting nervous about it isn't like you" Ruki then said, making it clear exactly why he was meddling in this.

"If you intend on prying, I might as well tell you.It's no use because of things that have happened in the past. That girl's got trust issues and she's afraid of any type of romantical interaction. If you want to know more, you're gonna have to get that from her" he said annoyedly before exiting the room. 'If taking the first step with her was as easy as that, I would've done it long ago' he thought to himself as he made his way over to the hallway.

~Timeskip because I can~

As you all entered the school building, everyone seemed to go their separate ways. Seeing as you and Yuma were headed in the same direction, you walked together for a bit. "Well, this is where we part ways, (f/n)" he said sweetly while patting your head lightly. In response you gave him a nod and a bright smile, before heading off the way you were supposed to go.

After having walked down one corridor, you suddenly feel someone grab you from behind. "You're so cruel, slut. I've really missed you, ya know?" That voice was unmistakable. Behind you stood none other than Laito Sakamaki. You tried telling him to get off you, but the words simply wouldn't come, and all you could really bring yourself to do, was stand there and shiver. You then felt his tongue on your neck, sending shivers down your spine. Ignoring your shivering, he continued licking your neck, and was just about to sink his teeth in when a voice you had grown to love over these past few weeks was heard.

"Hasn't anyone ever taught you not to touch what doesn't belong to you, asshole?!" he growled at Laito, before grabbing your wrist and pulling you to his chest. Not that he really considered you as his 'belonging', and he usually wouldn't be this forceful with you, but in this case Yuma felt the need to make a scene, to drive the point through Laito's head. At first, he seemed rather annoyed with the interruption, but he soon started laughing deviously. "Have fun, you two~" he said, before leaving you and Yuma alone.

"U-Uhm, y-you can let go of me n-now" you managed to stutter out after a long, rather awkward, silence. "Oh, sorry!" he said before releasing his iron grip on you, his cheeks turning pink. "A-Anyways, I think I'll follow you too class. You know, so that doesn't happen again" he then said, looking in another direction to try to cover the way to obvious blush. This new flustered side of him made you giggle slightly, before grabbing his hand and starting to walk to class.  

Author's note! Another update done! I'm wondering what you all think of this story... I haven't heard much from you and I'm wondering if it's comprehensable or if it's just weird. I mean, I understand it fully, but then again that might just be because I already know all that happened in the reader's and Yuma's past, at least as far as it concerns this story. Well, if something becomes too unclear, you can feel free to ask me. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and that you're looking forward to the next one! //Yours truly, Handsomesquid :3
