When Misfortune Brings Some Love

Chap 3 - He and His Loose Mouth

"Morning all. Today, I want to introduce you to our new transferred student." The teacher said in front of the class. "Please, come in." He said to the new student.

"Hi, my name is Hanatsuki Shinya." The new student said, "Nice to meet you."

'Does God really really hate me? Why I should get this karma?!' Ryuuta thought helpless. 'Not only same school, but also same class? SAME class???'

"You can sit over there." The teacher said to Shinya, pointing the place where he should sit.

"NOOOO!!!" Ryuuta snapped and stood up from his seat.

Everyone in that class was staring at Ryuuta now because of his odd reaction. "Not there. Not beside me~~~" Ryuuta pleaded hysterically.

His teacher frowned his eyebrows. "Can you tell me why he can't sit beside you, Igarashi-san?" His teacher asked Ryuuta, using his family name.

Ryuuta remained silent for a while. "...no reason. He just... can't." He said timidly. 'There's no way I'd tell anyone about this.'

"Maybe he's bored because he must see my face not only in OUR home, but also in school." Shinya suddenly answered, emphasizing the word 'OUR' in his sentence. His words make everyone looked at both of Shinya and Ryuuta once again with curiosity.

"Wha-" Ryuuta gasped in shock, "What did you say??? Are you crazy???" He pointed his finger at Shinya face, but Shinya just smirked mischievously. 'Please make me disappear! I want all of this to be a secret, but now he ruin that! How should I live from now on???' Ryuuta thought again.

Their teacher clapped his hands. "So what's the problem? If it's the only reason, we should stop this commotion now. Shinya, please take a seat because we need to start the class." He said with no care as if there's nothing happened.

"Hey, what is your relationship with him?" Naoyuki said to Ryuuta in a low voice.

Ryuuta sighed. "Long story... I'll tell you later." He answered half-heartedly.

Shinya placed his bag on his desk and gave Ryuuta his mischievous grin which absolutely sent a chill into Ryuuta's spine. He hid his chuckle when Ryuuta replied his grin with a glare. He found that Ryuuta never made him bored. 'His expression never failed to amuse me!' Shinya thought.

"AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!! I hate my life~~~" Ryuuta shouted angrily on the rooftop when lunch time arrived.

Naoyuki saw his best friend's action with strange look. "So, would you tell me what's actually happened now?" He asked bluntly. Luckily, there were only both of them in the rooftop.

"I never thought that I'll tell you about this." Ryuuta replied with a sad face. "He is the son of my dad's new lover. They moved into my house yesterday."

"Is that mean you'll have a new family? Congrats!" Naoyuki said with happy face.

"Yay, congrats!" Ryuuta said sarcastically.

Naoyuki punched Ryuuta's shoulder playfully. "Hey, don't be like that, dude! You must let your father to get a new lover. He's still young, you know?!"

"Yeah... Yeah... New lover..." Ryuuta rolled his eyes, "But, will you be happy if your father get a new BOYFRIEND instead of girlfriend???" He asked hysterically.

"W- What???" Naoyuki gasped in disbelief. "Is that mean..." He couldn't finish his words.

"You guess..." Ryuuta slipped a long sigh.

"You seems so against this." Naoyuki was having a thought for a while and then asked, "Hey, do you think Hanatsuki-san is a gay too? It seems he is enjoying this situation."

"You mean Shinya?" Ryuuta asked back, raising his eyebrow.

Naoyuki nodded. "Is he...? "

Ryuuta was thinking for a while. 'Well... His expression is so unreadable. We don't really close to each other, but I never heared his complaint about our fathers' relationship. It may be possible, isn't it?' and then he shrugged, "I'm not really sure..." He shuddered.
