Anger Mixed With Alcohol 「Inazuma Eleven」

5. The Final Confession

A/N: Angsty Suzuno incoming. 

    ★━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━★           

"Come on you slowpoke! They're almost here!" Nagumo heard the indigo-haired girl in miko costume shout and waving her hand as he walked out of the nurse's office. The red-haired boy sighed and glanced at Aiko. How stupid had he been to even think about it?

He was surprised about the girl's sudden actions and yelling at him like that. First, she had been so kind to him, but then turned into a demon and now again she was all hyped up.

Only after her final words, had he understood how stupid he had been and now he finally knew it all. The reason for the costume and the festival - why Suzuno had been avoiding him all this time and why Aiko had been so angry at him. He knew this all because of that one question.

Nagumo closed his eyes to remember what had happened in the nurse's office.

...

"Aiko, do you still love me?" Nagumo asked with his eyes death serious. Aiko raised her head, glancing at the red-haired boy, and pushed the red button on her phone. Then she closed her phone and squeezed it with her veins popping. Nagumo felt that the air in the room wasn't so good, so he backed off a little and it was the right thing to do.

"THE HELL I DO!" the indigo-haired girl finally got her anger out.

Nagumo covered his ears, but her still could hear her voice perfectly. But what had she meant by that? Yes, I do, or no I don't? Why couldn't this girl answer more clearly to his question? The clear answer came before Nagumo even could get his hands off his ears.

"What the hell are you thinking you idiot? Here I thought of a wonderful plan to get you and Fuu-kun together and you have the nerve to ask me if I love you?" Aiko sighed and sat on the bed while Nagumo blushed hard, turning his head away from the girl. He had never thought that she would do something like this for him.

"I..." Aiko started quietly and Nagumo turned his head to look at the indigo-haired girl. She closed her eyes and continued, "When you rejected me, I was heartbroken. I didn't know what to do or how to face you anymore. Years passed by and I still didn't know how to speak to you normally. Even after all those years my feelings towards you hadn't disappeared. I was so blind that I didn't even notice that the was someone who cared for me." Aiko smiled while a light crimson appeared on her face, and Nagumo's eyes widened.

Did this mean that she...?

"Finally, I was able to get over you all because he was there for me. Of course, I still kept on loving you. I could never stop that. But the love; it was the same that I feel for Fuu-kun and Hiro-kun too." the indigo-haired girl said and then grinned while turning to Nagumo. "Moreover, I noticed that there was someone else who loved and needed you more than me."

Nagumo's eyes widened when he heard the girls' words. Could this someone else possible be...? But wait, if it was, could it mean that he had misunderstood the whole situation? This plan wasn't to get him and Aiko together; it was to get him and Suzuno together. Nagumo felt his face getting redder from embarrassment; how could he have possible thought of something as crazy as that?

Aiko pursed her lips and crossed her legs while glaring at Nagumo. "But when I heard that you wished him to disappear from your life, I completely had enough. What on earth did you mean by that?" she said tapping her leg on the ground while her veins were popping hard.

Nagumo raised his head in confusion. Had he wished Suzuno to disappear? He would never say something like tha...

The red-haired boys' eyes widened when he remembered his last words to Suzuno on that day. "You know I HATE YOU! I JUST WISH YOU WOULD DISAPPEAR FROM MY LIFE!" So, this whole mess was because of him. If he would have just apologized to that teal-eyed roommate of his, this whole mess could have been avoided.
