"Hey there, A-YA-PI," I greeted her in a singsong voice.

I walked closer to the two friends but Aya clung onto Kenma even tighter.

They are rather close indeed...I wonder if she likes him? Not that it matters, I'm just curious.

"You're scaring Aya. She really thought you were going to murder us or something," Kenma warned me, breaking me out of my thoughts.

"That's not true!" she jumped up, our eyes locking once more.

"Eep!" she squeaked and buried her face back into Kenma's jacket.

Wait, is she scared of me?

"C-calm down, Aya-pi. I'm harmless!" I raised both hands to show I had no ill-intent. "Actually, I'm classmates with one of your club members, Sakurai-san. My name is Kuroo Tetsurou."

She looked back up to me, her shoulders relaxed.

"Sorry for my rudeness," she apologized, finally showing herself.

"It's alright. I don't think Kenma has ever had that much action his whole life," I joked.

"W-what!" she shouted, embarrassed.

She looked to Kenma then back at me, her face was getting redder and redder.

She's so easy to tease, it's kinda cute.

The three of us were on the train going back home. The train was packed and the three of us were stuck in the corner of the cart. I was hunched over Kenma and Aya with my arm supporting me over her head. I was trying to protect her from the people piling into the train.

I breathed in the sweet scent of her floral shampoo. Her lips were glossy with a light pink tint.

Aya looked up at me.

Crap, did she notice me smelling her hair?

"Don't fall in love with me," I teased, trying to hide the fact that I was basking in her scent.

"Hmph!" she huffed and looked away.

More people came in, pushing me closer to her.

"Damn it," I whispered under my breath.

I was trying to resist the people pushing me.

"Oh, an SSR drop," Kenma commented, unphased at the situation at hand.

"What? Another one?! You really are blessed by RNJesus!" Aya peered at his game, her cheek brushing against his.

Damn Kenma, always grabbing her attention.

"Oi, the next stop is us," I interrupted them.

Aya looked forward, pulling herself away from him.

"Next stop is Nerima Station. Nerima Station. Please exit on your right."

The doors opened.

"Let's go," I said irritatedly.

I grabbed Aya's wrist and pulled her with me as we exited the train.

Aya was sitting across from Kenma and me inside my favorite barbeque restaurant.

Aya had opposed going here, seemingly due to financial reasons. But I had the intent to pay for her anyway.

"So how was your date today, you two?" My question was more so directed to Aya because she looked so glum.

"I-It wasn't a date!" she retorted, suddenly full of energy.
