Infinity x The World

Third Wheel

Went to comic con (NEC) and met these amazing cosplayers! 😆⬆️

Lunch...

"Hey, Mei," I addressed, sitting at a table, eating lunch.

She looked up at me.

"You know how we're like demons? Well, you can do that mind reading thing because of your magic, right? So, could I learn to do that too?" I wondered.

"No," she replied.

"Uh... oh, how come?" I asked in great dissap[ointmeant.

"Luka is... Small," Mei told me, putting her hand on my head.

.........

"Wait! You think I'm dumb?!" I cried.

"It's ok, Luka. I'm small too," she added, referring to her height.

"Not in the same way," I cried.

"Magic can make you bigger. Or smaller. Depends on how Luka uses it," Mie told me.

I gasped, listening to her wise words.

"But it will never make Mei bigger," she complained, grabbing onto her flat chest with a sad face.

"Uh..." I mumbled awkwardly.

"Hey, Luka," Yukio greeted me, making me jump.

"Oh, hey. You ok?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. You?" He asked.

"Yeah," I replied.

"Where did you wanna meet to see the film tonight? It's on at 5 so not that late. I'll walk you home for 8 at the latest. Just send me a text to let me know you'll definitely be able to come," Yukio told me.

"You're in my seat," Mei mumbled to Yukio.

"Oh yeah! Mei, would you like to go see Fantastic Beats with me and Yukio, tonight at 5?" I asked.

"Would I be the third wheel?" She asked.

"No! Not at all!" I assured her.

"Ok. Only if I can sleep on you," She agreed, sitting in between me and Yukio.

"Err..." I mumbled awkwardly.

"Thank you, Yukio," I mentioned.

"No problem," he said awkwardly.

"Yukio, where are your friends?" Mei asked.

"My what...?" He mumbled.

"Your friends. The ones you should be sitting with rather than Luka," she added.

"Oh. I don't really have any. Kuro and the others went to this Akademi High place. You, Luka and Sora are kinda the only people I talk too here," Yukio told us.

"Does that mean... you agreed to see me out of school because you were lonely?" I asked.

"I guess-"

"Yukio! Do you think... you'd ever see me as anything more than a friend?" I asked a little too loudly.

He smiled as he got himself up.

"See you tonight," he replied.

He ran off.

"I knew I'd be a third wheel," Mei muttered.

"Does Yukio... even like me? Mei! You can read his mind! Is Yukio just doing this as friends! Is he just bored? Or... is there a chance he actually likes me?!" I questioned.
