What Am I? (Yandere Simulator Love Story)

Thirty Eight: Osano's Company

(Friday)

I went to school feeling depressed. Walking to school isn't the same without Yan-kun and Ayano. As I walked through the courtyard, everyone stared at me. 'What are you all staring at?' I thought, bitterly before looking at the ground. "Amaya,"

I looked up as Osano stood in a front of me with a face filled with apology. "I heard what happened to your brother and sister. I'm sorry." He said. He heard? Does that mean a rumor was spread throughout the school? 

Tears gathered in my eyes, so I quickly hugged him before they could fall. "It's okay. It's going to be okay." He whispered, gently, as he hugged me back.

The two of us sat on the bench as I gazed down at the ground. "So, how did it happen, if you don't mind me asking." Osano said. I shook my head, not wanting to talk about it. "I'm... really sorry, Amaya. I can't imagine what you're going through right now." He said.

I leaned my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes. "I wish it were me instead of them." I said. "Don't say that. I'm glad they didn't attack you," Osano wrapped his arm around me, holding me close to him.

"Please don't say such things. I'd be heartbroken if the delinquents got you." He mentioned. I glanced up at him before closing my eyes. "You're sweet, Osano." I mentioned.

When it was time for class, we walked to class. "I'm not sure if I really want to go to class today, Osano. I can't... I don't want all those people staring at me." I said. "You'll be fine, I promise." He said, giving me a reassuring smile.

I gave a small smile back and we entered the class. I took my seat and looked up as everyone was staring at me. "What are you all looking at? Got a problem or something?" Osano snapped at them. Everyone quickly turned their heads back towards the front.

"Osano, you didn't have to do that." I said. "They don't have to stare at you like that. They should know you're going through a hard time right now." He said. "Osano, it's fine. Really," I got up from my seat and stood beside his desk, placing my hand over his.

"I'm fine." I assured him. I noticed he blushed slightly when I placed my hand over his. "Okay. You know I'm just looking out for you, right?" Osano said. "Yes, and I appreciate that," I kissed his cheek. "It's really sweet of you. Thank you." I said, giving him a slight smile.

I went back to my desk and sat down in my seat as class began.

(Lunchtime)

When the bell rang for lunch, I got up from my seat and walked towards the door. It was hard for me to focus in class since everyone was murmuring and looking at me. It was extremely uncomfortable, having all those eyes on me like that. 

As I stepped outside the classroom, I expected to find Yan-kun leaning against the wall, waiting  for me. But it hit me when I remembered he was in the hospital. "Yan-kun..." I whispered. Tears trailed down my cheeks from the thought of him.

Before anyone could see me crying, I quickly walked down the hall. As I turned the corner, someone quickly grabbed my arm and pulled me aside. I looked up and noticed it was Osano who pulled me aside. "Is something wrong, Osano?" I asked him.

"I didn't like how everyone was talking about you in class today." He said. "It's fine. It doesn't bother me." I lied. Osano made me look at him and saw the tears rolling down my cheeks before using his thumb to wipe away a tear.

"I'm fine." I said, pushing his hand away. Osano frowned before hugging me to his chest. "I said, I'm fine." I repeated, trying to break from his hug.

"You're not fine. Just let me comfort you. I know how hard it must feel to not have your brother and sister around. I know how close the three of you are. So, I know it must feel lonely without them." He said. I stopped trying to get out of his hold and just let him hug me some more.

"You're not wrong." I mumbled as I wrapped my arms around him. It did feel lonely without my siblings around. I felt like I have no one.

"Amaya."

"Hmm?"

I looked up at him and Osano kissed me. My eyes widened slightly and he broke the kiss. "I've been wanting to do that for a while. It's because I have a crush on you." He confessed, making me blush. "Osano..."

"I like you, Amaya Aishi. No... I love you, and I don't care if you choose someone else over me. I'm always going to love you and I'm always going to be here for you."

"What?"

Osano kissed me again, holding me close to him. I closed my eyes tightly and shoved him away, my arm covering my mouth. "I... I'm sorry." Osano said. I shook my head, telling him to forget it. "Let's just eat lunch." I said.

"Okay."
