Your POV:

"Shinra-san..."

"Hmm, what's up?"

I scrunched up my nose, carefully reflecting on how I could word my feelings out properly. Letting out a deep breath, I relented, choosing to simply shake my head politely to the obliviously smiling man.

"No, come to think of it, its not really anything at all."

Shinra-san was the last person I expected to be cockblocked by, but now that it happened I can see that it does fit his character to do so.

*Flashback*

"Hey, Sonohara-san."

She almost jumped at my voice, though she soon regained her composure to that of her usually cool self, turning to meet my straightforward eyes.

I gently stretched out my hand, resting it atop her nervous ones and widened my smile.

So this was what it felt like getting the timing right.

"You know, about just now..."

I could feel my pulse involuntarily rising, and my heartbeat thumped noisily against my chest. I was really doing it, I was getting something right done for once!

Yep, now's not the time to focus on stupid things like Izaya-kun, my main goal is to get to the bottom of all these things that's been happening.

"when I was brushing Akane-chan's hair--"

Her eyes widened for a second, and a shade of crimson red flashed past my vision in that moment.

I know I'm going down the right path. I'm certain of it, and my past self is too.

That's why, just a little bit more...!

"You-"

"Anri-chan! It's about time for you to start heading out!"

It was just a little bit more...

So couldn't you have given me just a bit more time, Shinra-san!

*Flashback end*

Would it be too late if I asked Sonohara-san again the next time I saw her?

Again? No, it would be the first time right, since I didn't get to ask just now.

I brushed my hair to the side, my lips formed in a subtle pout as I rocked my legs back and forth from the couch, purposefully keeping them off the ground.

Ahhh, I screwed up again. 

Can I really do anything at this rate? I honestly can't afford to just laze around here, but...

The door soon opened, and Shinra-san's figure emerged back once again, holding a tray of tea and desserts.

"Sorry for the wait, (y/n)-chan! Here, this cake's from a really good shop down the street, you should try some!"

"Thanks..."

Gingerly poking the fork into the frail pastry, I pushed it into my mouth, smiling politely towards the beaming man as I did so.

Huh? This cake...

The delicious taste of heaven sparked a familiar impression, and I put the utensil down, taking a good look at the dainty cream coated cake.

Isn't it from the shop I went with Izaya-kun...?

I instinctively directed my attention back to the bespectacled man who had now sat down before me, still beaming at me brightly.

"Ah, right. I'm sure you want to ask why I've asked you to stay behind right?"

It was as if my look reminded him of the situation, and he pushed aside his cup cautiously, leaning his frame on the table top towards me.

That's right. I couldn't afford to laze around here doing nothing, but...

*Flashback*

"H-hey! Umm, Sonohara-san?"

I can't just let this opportunity slip through my fingers like that! Who knows when else I could ask her about this!

"Yes?"

"Would it be okay if I came along too? You're bringing Akane-chan along right?"

"Ah, I don't think it would be a problem.."

Akane-chan raised her head up in my direction, her big reddish-brown orbs meeting mine briefly.

"Really? Then--"

*Flasback end*

"Yes...you said you had something important to ask right, Shinra-san?"

I'm sure he could tell I was nervous, my actions and mannerisms were practically begging for him to know that.

Still, I couldn't help it.

Shinra-san, he's friends with Izaya-kun right?

What if...he knows?

"You see, (y/n)-chan, I have something reaaally important to ask you. It's been bugging me since a while back!"

I shut my eyes tightly and pursed my lips, my hands grasping onto to the material of my clothes roughly.

'Why would I want you to leave?'

Of course his words didn't mean anything. What was I expecting?

'You see, I've taken quite a liking to you myself.'

It's Izaya-kun afterall.

I guess...he's tired of me now.

My grip on the crumpled fabric released, and I relaxed my tense shoulders.

"So, I've been meaning to ask,"

"Shizuo-kun or Orihara-kun, who do you like?"

"...Hmm?"

That wasn't the question I was prepared for.
