Imperfect Romance: One-shot Series

The Evil Genius

The following morning Kuramochi walked up to Miyuki's room to not just get all the details from last night but also to tell him something so he can set straight out this situation with Hitomi for once and for all. When he made it upstairs he was surprised when he saw Miyuki already awake and sitting on a bench by his room, sipping on some canned black coffee since the catcher usually liked to sleep in on Sunday mornings.

"Yo." Kuramochi greeted.

"Oh hey." Miyuki casually greeted back as he continued sipping on his drink. "What are you doing here visiting me so early?" He asked in a teasing way.

"I came to see if you were alive after last night." The shortstop snickered.

"I thought you would know since you were most likely eavesdropping in the first place." Miyuki countered.

Kuramochi was taken aback for a bit but then recovered. "I was just checking to see if you needed my help, that's all," He lamely defended himself getting a side-eye from Miyuki. "Are you going out?" He asked changing the subject when he noticed that he was wearing a black jacket and jeans instead of his sweatpants.

"Yup," The catcher replied as Kuramochi sat beside him. "I'm going to have brunch with Ai-chan in a little bit now that we made up."

"I'm glad that you brought her up because there is something I want to tell you." Kuramochi began wasting no time.

"What?" Miyuki asked confused due to his friend's serious tone.

"I don't think Yukimura was as crazy as we thought she was," The shortstop admitted. "Last night after we left your room, I noticed the weird conceited way that Takashi-san acted," He continued. "I sort of confronted her because she didn't try to explain herself when Yukimura barged in but she just made it seem like your girlfriend was some unstable lunatic and that she didn't need to explain herself." Kuramochi explained.

"I'm not surprised since she is a total fake." The catcher replied in an offhanded manner.

Kuramochi widened his eyes in surprise. "Wait what?!" He exclaimed. "Did you know? Since when?"

"I noticed after a couple of days Ai-chan told us about her so not crazy conspiracy theory." He said relishing in the warmth of the coffee can.

"Then why didn't you said anything?!" He asked in a demanding tone.

"Well... It's kinda of a long story." Miyuki sheepily explained.

"Then. Make. It. Quick." Kuramochi gritted out through his teeth.

Miyuki let out a deep sigh. "I guess I can try..."

A couple of days After Hitomi started her stint as manager and Ai explained her backstory with Hitomi Miyuki found out that his girlfriend wasn't as crazy as he thought she was. While Miyuki was not known for his exceptional social skills he wasn't dense and he knew when girls were flirting with him. At first, when Hitomi tried to do that he was going to put a stop on it and tell her that he was dating Ai but then an idea occurred to him. The catcher wanted to play a little 'trick' on his beloved Ai-chan so he just played the socially awkward dense type who doesn't notice when people hit on him.

However in order for the trick to be successful he needed to take an extra step to make his plan work.

Which is why...

"Yoshikawa-san?" Miyuki called out as he entered the kitchen where the first year manager was preparing rice balls and he took one. "Did you make this one?" He asked knowing the answer.

"N-no Miyuki-senpai," The shy manager replied. "Takashi-senpai did but she just stepped out for a minute."

"It's that so? They are delicious." He simply said as he sauntered out of the kitchen grinning to himself.
