Two Commoners in the Club

I Confess to Nekozawa-senpai!

I sighed while laying my upper body across my desk after school was over for the day. Hikaru looked over at me so I sighed again in response.

"What's wrong with you?" he asked.

"I don't know what to do today since there are no club activities."

"You could pay up on our agreement from Halloween."

"No way, Hikaru. You tricked me into thinking that you guys were going to be mean to Class Rep when you were actually going to do the opposite and just wanted to tease him a while. I already told you guys that I'm not doing it."

"Aw, come on. It won't be that bad."

"No, Hikaru. It's not happening."

"Fine. I guess you'll have to entertain yourself somehow."

"Entertain myself? Am I not going to be able to hang out with you guys and Haruhi or something?"

"Nope. We're going to an amusement park. You're not invited since you're being mean."

"I'm not being mean. Besides, I don't like amusement parks. Well, you two have fun. I'll just hang out with Haruhi. We have fun with just each other."

"No can do. Haruhi's coming with us."

"But, Haruhi doesn't like amusement parks either."

"Oh well." With that said, Hikaru and Kaoru got up, grabbed Haruhi, and took off out of the room before I could say anything in response.

"You jerks! You can't take Haruhi away from me like that! Hikaru, Kaoru, get back here with Haruhi!" I grabbed my bag and ran out of the room in an attempt to rescue Haruhi from their evil clutches.

So, I ended up failing in saving Haruhi so I let out a long sigh and headed for the gates so I could head home. Right before I walked through them, I saw a cat sitting there, licking its front right paw as part of a bath. That made me remember Nekozawa-senpai's reverence for cats, which reminded me that I wanted to talk to him. At that thought crossing my mind, I spun around and ran off to find Nekozawa-senpai, which took around a half hour.

As a side note, if you attend a giant school, it is incredibly easy to hide from someone! I mean, I took so long trying to find Nekozawa-senpai because there were so many places to search! Seriously advantageous if you're trying to hide...

Anyways, I finally found Nekozawa-senpai about to enter a room. It wasn't the black magic club room so I wasn't sure what he was doing there. That was when I realized that it was the room we had turned into a dark room when we were giving him character reformation training.

"Nekozawa-senpai, hi," I greeted. He spun around and looked at me with wide eyes before smiling slightly.

"Akiyama, hi. Uh... so... yesterday was fun."

"It was... a lot of fun."

"Yeah..."

"So, I was wondering if I could talk to you for a bit."

"Oh, sure. I was actually just going to spend some time in here without my cloak and wig."

"Oh! Ok. Mind if I join then? You can relax while I talk to you."

"Alright. Will you help me prepare the room? There are a few candles in here if you want to light them so you can see."

"Alright. How about you get the blackout shutters going while I light the candles and turn out the lights?"

"That sounds good." We went inside and went about our tasks.

Once the room was shrouded in darkness with only a little light from the candles, I looked over at Nekozawa-senpai and saw him completely take off his cloak and the dark wig. I smiled at him and moved the candelabra with the candles closer to where he was. He sat down in a random chair and locked his eyes on me, nervousness surprisingly obvious in his gaze.
