Stars in The Rain

Confused

Takuma Seishirou's POV

Class 3-1

Yui and Sayuri are really using my class to compete with one another. They raced in solving the questions I am throwing in the air. Give me a break.

I went at the rooftop to spend my break. The door opened and I felt a heavy slap on my back. "You havent visited me for quite sometime", Sayuri pouted. "Kyouya's here to fetch you. Give me a vacation", I sighed. "About that... ", I cut Sayuri's words. "Ah, sorry for not being able to congratulate you. And also, lets celebrate it sometime", I said. Sayuri tilted her head. "What were you saying?", she asked. Didnt Kyouya ask her out? Sayuri flicked my forehead. "I dont know what you're talking about. Lets go eat something for lunch", Sayuri invited. "I'm part of the faculty this time", I reminded. "Who cares?", she pouted and grabbed me at the cafeteria. The students are staring at us too much. "Dont mind them", Sayuri tighten her grip.

We sat near the window. We saw Yui playing cards with her friends. "We're going to Osaka after this week. Dad will take a week off from work", Sayuri opened. "That's great then", I commented. She glared at Yui. "If only she isnt invited?!!! Why did I even lose to that battle?!", Sayuri shook her head. I chuckled and stuffed food on her mouth. "It only means fate and destiny is helping you together", I said. "Destiny or fate. I dont believe in such", Sayuri said with a serious voice. We finished eating and class resumed.

I waited for Sayuri outside the gate. Kyouya punched my stomach when he saw me. "Yo! Waitin for Sai?", he asked. "Oi. I thought you are going to confess to Sayuri?", I asked. "Well, somethings happen", Kyouya gave a grin.

Flashback...

Kyouya and Sayuri are at the ferris wheel. "Its our second time being here", Kyouya reminded. "During that time, I had something to tell you", he added. Sayuri stared into his eyes. "What is that?", she asked. "Sai... I actually...", Sayuri's phone rang.

Erina: Sayuri, sorry for not being able to keep in touch with you. I'll make sure to make up for that.

Sai: Mom. Are you feeling well already? I heard you are teaching piano nearby Grandma's places.

Erina: Yes. I'm actually at Osaka now.

Sai: Osaka? What are you doing there?

Erina: I have some family business to attend. How is Ryou?

Sai: He's already going out with someone. That's unfair.

Erina: then why dont you confess to Sei already?

Sai: What are you saying?! He's my best friend. By the way, Sei-san baked another tart with different flavor. He said he's going to teach you when you come back.

Kyouya watched the girl smilling happily talking about Sei with her mom. "Maybe, I'll tell her sometime".

End of Flashback...

Tachibana Yui's POV

Kyouya came again. He's been sticking with me a lot. "Arent you going back to Australia?", I asked while apporaching him and Takuma-san. "Yui", he called. Takuma-san waved at me. I also did. "Sayuri is a bit late. Where could she be?", Takuma-san asked. I saw her watering the plants a while ago. She's also crying but I dont really want to meddle with her. "I dont know", I answered. Takuma-san nodded and went inside the campus.

We walked down the road. "Then.. what is she doing now?", Kyouya asked. "I told you. I didnt see her", I repeated. Kyouya chuckled. "Your lies wont work on me", Kyouya flicked my forehead. "Then", I stopped walking. "Actually... Kyouya... I always liked you all this time", I bowed. Kyouya turned back to look at me. "Ahhh... but Yui... I", Kyouya chuckled. "Got you. I thought you know once I am lying", I stucked my tongue out. Kyouya sighed and we both laughed. Right, there is no way Kyouya will recognize my feelings for him. We stopped by a sweet shop to buy cake for Chitoge's birthday.

Hinako's Residence

The place is already decorated and the food is prepared. Ryou is suprisingly there. I mean, he's normally here since he's Chitoge's boyfriend. "Sorry for being here", he apologized. "Dont be. You shouldnt be caught up with your sister's battle", I smiled. I peeked at the kitchen and was startled to see Takuma-san cooking. "Takuma-san", I called his name. "I'm here since Sayuri sent me to give Chitoge a gift. Also, here to cook for our little sister", he explained. Ah... the reason why that stupid is crying a while ago is...

I chuckled and went to change my clothes. I dont care about her since she also hates to see me. I looked at my trash can and drew out the frame Takuma-san gave me before. Things before and things right now are different. That's what I always say. Why in the world am I feeling this?!

I went down and we started celebrating. We played cards and board games. Takuma-san is unexpectedly good in card games. He always win the game. "So she's not really coming", Chitoge said in a sad tone. "Sorry, she's really full of pride", Ryou apologized. "Maybe she can make room for this. I want to make your day complete", I stood up and anticipated for the doorbell to ring. It did.

"Chitoge, go and check", I said.

Flashback... a while ago in Yui's room.

Lets see. Should I call Yori to tell Sayuri about it. I dialed her.

Sayuri: Why are you calling Baka?!

I checked my phone and accidentally dialed her number.

Yui: dont shout. I'm not deaf!!!

Sayuri: What do you want?

Yui: hmmft. I saw a crazy woman crying while watering the flowers just because she thinks she cannot attend someone else's birthday. What a pride she has.

Sayuri: what are you saying?! I got some dirt on my eyes.

Yui: then. Why did you pick the phone? Were you expecting me to invite you?

Sayuri: I will die before hearing you say that!!!

Yui: You're right. I am not inviting you. If you really want to do something, you dont need someone's consent to do it.

I ended the call.

Present.

Sayuri entered. She was panting and also sweating. She grabbed the gift from Takuma'san and gave it to Chitoge. "Happy Birthday, Chitoge-chan", she said with her face blushing. Chitoge gave her a tight hug. "Thank you for coming", she said.

In that moment, I think I saw Sayuri dropping a look at me. It wasnt a death glare nor a cold look again.

I wonder if she was actually...

Thanking me...

End.
