Imperfect Romance: One-shot Series

Snapped/MiyuAi

Snapped:

Everything was fine in Miyuki's life. Ai was healthy, his team is going to nationals in the spring, his injury just finished healing and now he isn't just attending practice but the coach also gave him his captain position back. Yes, everything was fine.

"Thank you so much Yukimura-san. You are the best." A masculine voice that did not belong to her boyfriend complimented her. The voice came from a guy in the class who roughly had the same height as Miyuki with brown shaggy hair along with green eyes.

They were currently in class during their free period.

Miyuki narrowed his eyes at the no-name guy (he really couldn't bother in learning people' names) as he dared to smile at HIS girlfriend.

Actually no.

Everything was not fine.

There was a small problem.

"Oh you don't have to thank me Tachibana-kun. I like helping out people when I can." Ai modestly insisted in her usual soft-spoken polite tone.

The catcher growled quietly to himself as he fumed in anger.

Correction. It was not a small problem. It was a BIG problem.

"Really?" Tachibana asked as he took his notebook from Ai's desk. "Then you won't mind if I ask for more help in the future? I really hate English."

'Why are you asking her now? You clearly didn't care since you have been hounding her for help since the last two weeks.' Miyuki mentally retorted.

"Not at all." Ai said with a soft smile.

'Why do you have to be so nice Ai-chan?!' He thought as he saw red when she smiled at him. Didn't she know how powerful her smile was? It literally made guys melt at her feet. This has been going on for too long. Way too long for Miyuki's taste. For the last two weeks he has been finding any excuse to talk to Ai and since she is the top student of the class then he obviously found his perfect excuse and asked her for help any time he could. Ai being the always helpful and gracious classmate never said no to him because she genuinely believed that he actually needed help. However, it takes more than that to fool Miyuki and the catcher just knows that this guy whose name is not important to remember has a crush on Ai and is just waiting for the moment to ask her out.

Yes, Miyuki was fuming with jealousy. He didn't consider himself to be a jealous person. At first he didn't mind the guy asking Ai for help because many students did the same so it wasn't strange. But after the first couple of days he noticed that there was something more to it with the way he tried to flirt with her, his lingering gaze towards her, smiling at her excessively, and the overuse of compliments. Ai loves being complimented because it appeals to her vanity so that's probably why she hasn't figured it out yet. But even if she had, then it would be really hard for her to put a stop at his advances since he hasn't made a move on her yet.

Technically speaking Miyuki couldn't really get mad at him or any other guy who approached Ai for that matter since she was allegedly single just like when she couldn't get at mad at girls who confessed their feelings to him. They were both supposed to be single and commitment-free. That was the downside of keeping their relationship a secret.

But reason be damned! He didn't want anyone around his girlfriend and that was final.

"Ne Yukimura-san?" He called out interrupting her conversation with the intruder.

"Yes?" She turned her attention to him since they sat next to each other.

"Can you help me with this please?" Miyuki asked in an innocent tone pointing at his homework.
