My love belongs to you only

Takashi's secret feelings

Information: Sasuke = Ninja Warrior in Japan (series)

Takashi's POV:

"Here you go." 

I invite Haydie to my house. This is now the first time, huh? I feel my cheeks heating up. Hopefully she doesn't notice anything. Stay calm, Takashi. Stay calm. I close the door and lead Haydie to the living room and quickly get her a juice drink since she likes fruits a lot. Come to think of it, it is surprising how much we know about each other although we only got to know each other a year ago when I and my dudes (Dadaroma) moved to her school. We became friends real quick back then and we are lucky that she isn't one of those sick fangirls who only want to touch us. I really appreciate Haydie as both best friend and fan. How could I ever ask for more?

Ending my thoughts about the past, I hand Haydie her drink and sit down next to her on the couch. 

"Your house seems nice so far but where are your parents?" 

"They always work till night, I rarely see them but thanks to that I can mostly do what I want." 

"Hm, yeah, it can have advantages but don't you feel alone?" 

"Not really. Tomo often does homework with me here and sometimes Yoshiatsu and Yusuke visit me out of nowhere without alerting me." 

"Haha, that sure sounds like them." 

We both laugh a bit. What a beautiful laugh she has, I can never get enough of it. I wonder why she isn't popular at school. Anyway, good for me, right? 

I ask Haydie if we should learn in my garden and she happily approves, exciting to be finally able to learn in a garden since her family doesn't have one. With that we leave the living room with our school bags and she sits down at the table in the garden while I quickly bring some snacks from the kitchen. My mother always tells me that I shouldn't touch her cookies, but who cares when I have a beautiful girl in my garden. I place the cookies in the middle of the table and sit down in front of Haydie, unpackaging my bag. 

I sort all my math stuff while Haydie eats one cookie after another, looking as happy as a child who just got a lollipop. If I wouldn't have known that she is full from the ice cream, I would have asked if she is hella hungry. However, it's amusing watching Haydie like this and I totally forget about math till she reminds me of it after finishing her last cookie for the time being.

We first start our math homework before we learn for everything which will be the topic for the upcoming exam. Meanwhile she moved her chair and sits next to me since it will be easier to learn this way. Well... 'easier'. Since she sits so near to me, I'm kinda distracted. Stay strong, Takashi! Don't let her see you flustering! I shake my head so that the thoughts will stop. I need to concentrate on math now! 

"Is something the matter, Takashi? You seem red." 

"H-huh?" 

I touch my cheeks. Shit, they are really hot. 

"Ehh, wait here, please. I need to go to the bathroom." 

"Sure." says Haydie as I quickly move inside. 

Can I please get my shit together?! Of course I could blame it on the sun but this seems so childish and wrong. I can't go with the truth either, at least not yet. I don't want to risk our friendship just because of my feelings. Especially since she is friends with all 4 of us. This would destroy everything and Haydie would be alone in school since she only has us. Ah, fuck my life already... I never thought falling in love with someone could be that difficult and risky. Anyway, if I want something, I get it. Soon I will just tell her my feelings. If something goes wrong then suck it, school only lasts one more year anyway.

I wash my face and make it cold again. 

"I should be ok now."

I say to myself and open the door then I suddenly see Haydie in front of me. 

"Woah, Haydie! What's the matter? Don't scare me like that." 

"I was worried since it took you so long. Sorry." 

"Don't apologize." 

I reassure her by patting her shoulder. 

"Maybe we should go inside again so you won't heat up." 

"Yes, good idea..." 

I sigh. Ah man, it wasn't because of the heat though... I wish I could just tell her this but sometimes I'm shy out of nowhere. I can be quite cocky but also shy at times and it kinda sucks a bit.

We get our things and place them on the table in the kitchen, the coldest room. Maybe this is what I need the most right now. We sit in front of each other again and continue learning. After some time I open the window and damn, what a great desicion I made by mistake! The open window provokes Haydie's hair to move smoothly and it looks totally charming. Captivated by her beautiful look, she soon catches my gaze what brings me back to reality. 

"Oh, ah, sorry... I was dreaming." 

"Is anything wrong? Since I'm here you seem puzzled." 

"I think I got too less sleep today... waking up early is a pain." 

"Haha, how true. Maybe we should stop then." says Haydie as she closes her book and stands up. 

She grabs my hand and drags me along to the living room. 

"What about watching Sasuke? It should be on at this time." 

"Oh, sure! I love this series!" 

With that I turn on the TV and in fact, Sasuke aired right now. We sit down on the couch and laugh along at the fails of the participants. Only sometimes we symphatize with the hurted ones. 

When Sasuke is about to end, it already becomes slightly dark and she decides to go home before her mother will get angry. We arrive at the door and I realize that it is more dark than I imagined, so I ask if I could bring her home. However, she insists that she will be ok and that I should chill for the rest of the day since I'm seem absent today. Sad about it, I don't talk back though since she is right. We hug one last time and she leaves on her way home. 

"Hopefully she will arrive home save." 

I say to myself and close the door. Time to cool down now. This was my first time being alone with Haydie but I wish I wouldn't feel so hot. It kills me.

Haydie's POV:

Sad thing I didn't saw his very own room, but hopefully I will be able to soon enough. More importantly... what was wrong with him? He dozed off quite often, that is really unusual. Hopefully he is ok and doesn't catch a cold. 

After some time I arrive home. Luckily still early enough so that my mother doesn't get angry. I go upstairs to my room and lay down on my bed. What a day... Suddenly I feel my phone vibrating on my ass. A message from Takashi. How sweet. He asks if I came home save. He really takes care of the people he cherishes, that's what I love about him. I answer him quickly and remember the whole day then my head suddenly shows me Takashi's blushing. So cute... I wanna hug him. How can someone blush this sweet?! I feel myself tense up and shake my head. Girl, he is your best friend and you know how cocky and arrogant he can be at times. Shaking my thoughts off, I head to the bathroom and take a bath. Hopefully Takashi will feel better tomorrow.

Okkk~ chapter 2. The next one will be published next week after my final oral exam which is on Wednesday. Please leave a comment about what you think of this chapter and have a nice day or night! :D
