You Used To Be Useful: Ayaka's Story

Chapter XI

We arrived at the nurse's office without a nurse inside. Mori senpai gently lays me down on the bed and tucks a pillow under my swelled foot. Both Mori senpai and Mamoru sat on the chairs while Honi senpai sat on the arm of the chair.

Honi senpai had hidden cake in the nurse's fridge and handed me strawberry shortcake while he devoured a tiramisu cake. I stared at it guiltily, poking at it. As delicious as it looks... I can't.

Honi senpai had seen that I hadn't eaten the cake yet and questioned it, asking if I didn't like it. Mamoru chuckled nervously and took it from my hands and started swallowing it.

"She's on a diet," Mamoru muffled through the cake. I look at him confused, not understanding why he's doing so much for me today. He returned my gaze and winked. Mori senpai whispered into Honi senpai's ear and Honi's eyes dimmed. He then shook his head and went back to being bubbly and giddy.

"A diet! Aya-chan, you shouldn't do those! Try eating plenty of sweets instead," giggled Honi senpai.

"Mitskuni, only you can eat that much," Mori senpai replied to him. My body jumped to his voice since it was so low, forgetting about the ache in my foot. The pain had started to expand to my arms. Making me groan, Mamoru had started cackling while the two stared at me with concern.

"Sorry, it's just the first time I heard your voice Mori senpai," I grunted, "It caught me by surprise."

"Hehe, it's your first time, huh?" giggled Mamoru," When I first heard it I thought it was scary yet comforting."

I snapped my fingers at him as a way to agree and added, "Also attractive." Mori had a little hint of red in his ears and we were mutually getting along until the nursery door slammed open, introducing the rest of the crew. Taro stormed up to me, and I already knew what was going to happen. Terrorize the criminal, interrogate the victim and aim for the kill.

"Why in the hell would you do this all for a donut?" argued Taro, "You couldn't see the damn leg pulled out in front of you?"

Mamoru jumped out of his seat and placed his hand on Taro's chest to stop him from getting any closer to me. I didn't answer and just faced the window guiltily.

"C'mon Taro, this isn't necessary. Stop before you'll say something you'll regret," Mamoru uttered. All I felt was his piercing gaze waiting for a response, a sign. Haruhi had then walked beside Taro and patted him on the shoulder.

He sighs, "I believe that's enough drama for one day."

Kyoya takes a seat on a chair and rests his arm on the armrest. Everyone else had done the same or something similar while the twins remain standing.

"We won't discuss the donut commotion, but we will speak about which rules have been broken today, Miss Mano. Rule one, four, and five," Kyoya commented, tapping on the armrest. My lips puckered out in guilt as I advert his gaze.

"That conversation can also be continued tomorrow, Kyoya senpai. What she needs right now is rest," denied Haruhi. I face him with gratitude and relief as if my hero had landed in front of me. Tamaki had then jumped on Haruhi and spun him around.

"Oh, my little girl said that like a true princess! Daddy's so proud!" shrieked Tamaki.

"Tamaki senpai get off of me! And I already told you I already have a dad!" Haruhi yelled. I blinked constantly, denying what I heard.

"Um... a little girl?" I asked for reassurance. The twins started yelling at Tamaki for being an idiot and revealing Haruhi's gender. Kyoya went on about threatening me to make it difficult for me to leave the country.
