I wonder what dumbass would fall in love with someone like me.

Kigamiki Natsuru

"Natsu! Please open up!"

"Natsuru, give us an answer please."

"We're sorry for rushing things, just please talk to us."

Pressing the pillow down harder, I tried to block out the sound of my best friends bangs and plees.

Currently I was back at home, locked in my room as the six of them were pounding on my door, trying to get some type of response from me.

You may be wondering what is going on? Well, to put in simply, my so called friends thought it'll be a good day to confess all at once. I would understand if it was just one person per day because that would have given me time to process, but no. They all seemed to schedule confession times, and confessed their feeling to me while at school.

Justing remembering their confessions bought a blush to my face as my heat speed up.

"Natsucchi, please." Kise whimpered through the door. His voice bring his confession front and center in my mind.

It was the end of first period, I couldn't stop thinking about Kuroko's confession and the others apologises.

While I was walking, I failed to pay attention to where I was going, resulting in me bumping into someone else. The other male didn't budge, but I, on the other hand, fell back from the impact. Closing my eyes I expected to feel the coldness of the ground but instead I felt the warmth of arms wrapped around me.

Peeking open one eye, I untangled myself from his hold upon noticing who it was.

It was Kise, yet unlike the playful and cringy one I was use to. This Kise seemed sad, his eyes glazed over and dull while his face held a grim yet stren expression. Shaking off the worry, I was about to thank him when he pulled me into a nearby deserted classroom.

"Kise, I have class-" I stopped myself, feeling his arms snake it's way around me.

"Natsucchi, I'm sorry." Pulling me tighter, he placed his face against my neck. Due to our height difference it must have been uncomfortable for the taller, but he didn't seem to care as he continued to speak in his shaky voice, "I'm sorry for keeping it from you. I know it's sudden, having your six closest friends telling you they've had feelings for you for a while and kept it from you. I really am sorry."

Gripping his shirt in my first, I tried to pull away only for him to nuzzle closer. His hot breath against my neck sent shivers down my spine, "I'm sorry for keep the secret about my feeling but I'm not sorry for having them." Finally he pulled away, but only slightly so his golden eyes could stare down into my green ones, "You must understand, Natsucchi. Every since I've saw you on that court playing basketball so sluggishly yet so full of passion, I couldn't help but to me drawn to you. After joining the team, becoming a member of the first string and getting closer to you I realized. This wasn't just admiration I felt fo you. I wasn't just in awe of your skills, no, it was so much more than that. Whenever you talked to me, my stomach would twist up. When I am near you my heart feels like it's going to pop, and whenever you smile."

He took a deep breath, a small smile of his own streching across his face, "Whenever you smiled, I swear the world stops spinning. Your laugh is like heavens bells and whenever you cry I feel like I'm dying. That's why, I hate seeing you so sad right now. I honestly wouldn't mind if you rejected me now, because at least I'd know I tried and I'm happy just watching you be happy. But Natsuru, if you were to say you'd go out with me I'd be the happiest person on Earth. That's because I love you, Natsucchi. So, so much."
After his speech, I pulled back and placed a small kiss onto my forehead. My mind was racing, I barely heard the late bell ring.

It wasn't until I felt his warmth disappear did I return to reality, but just as I was about to respond, he was gone. Almost like he was never there.

"Nastsuchin, I have your favorite candies." Murasakibara' voice cut through my thoughts and just like that, the thoughts of Kise was soon replaced by the memory of the purple haired Giants confession.

Murasakibara was in my third period class, Science. We are lab partners meaning we sat together in this class. Since the childish teen was so big, he was forced to sit in the back to he wouldn't block the view of other students. I had chosen to sit with him back there because the back of the class makes it easier for me to nap without be cought my the teacher.

This system was satsifactory and I've never regretted it, or atleast I didn't until now.

Class started off normally, the teacher was explaining something off the slides while we were to take notes but I could not focus due to the taller teen's gaze burning into the side of my head.

It was ten minutes into class when a note was placed on top of my notebook. Looking over that the sweet obessed boy, I saw him looking ahead, as if trying to play it off, like he wasn't the one who tossed me the note.

Sighing, I placed down my pen and slowly opened the note, reading over the slightly messy writing.

'Nastsuchin, are you mad at me?'

Looking over at Murasakibara, I sighed once more before uncapping my pen and scribbling down a response.

'Not really, I'm mainly upset you guys didn't tell me.'

After scanning the sentence, I folded the papers before looking around for prying eyes. Finding none, I handed the note to Murasakibara, who hurrily opened and read the sentence before responding and passing the paper back.

'Im sorry, Natsuchin. I was too nervous to tell you, I wouldnt mind confessing if I didn't know you but you're my friend. I didn't want to lose you because of my feelings.'

I felt the corner of my lip twitch a bit, threatening to smile. Thankfully, I managed to prevent the smile from forming as I write down my next comment.

'I understand, we've been friends since first year. But that doesn't change anything, it's because we are friends I wanted you guys to tell me. Anyway, it doesn't matter, I'm sure these feeling will go away with time. We're going through puberty, you guys are just confused.'

Murasakibara frowned as he read my response. He made no effort to pick up his pencil to respond. Instead, what he did next completely surprised not only myself but the class as well.

In a second, Murasakibara stood up, his chair making a loud noice as he did so. Slamming his hands on the desk, he looked at me. His expression was one of anger as he towered over me.

I felt my eyes widen as I stared up at him, it was obvious he was furious.

"Natsuru, you can reject me all you want but never, ever say my feelings for you is fake. I love you, Natsuru. I know it's love because I love candy and you make me feel the same way that candy does times a billion. Plus, I looked it up online and based off what I read it really is love." I already knew my face was red, there was no need to look in the mirror or feel it's warmth to tell.

Looking down at my lap, I tried to ignore the stares of my shocked classmates. Instead of responding, I stood up and grabbed my belongings, my hands shaky. Ignoring the teachers yells, I walked out if the class. Not caring about the trouble I'll be in later, there's no way I'm staying in that class any longer, not after that.
