CHP. 26 • Like-minded •

Y/N considered Osana's preposition carefully and decided there was no harm to it.

"Sure, I don't mind. But we will have to introduce you to the other delinquents, and that includes Osoro" she spoke, turning to look Osana in the eye seriously. The orange-haired girl nodded her head and gained a determined expression on her face.

"That's fine, but... she won't beet me up... will she?" asked Osana sheepishly, "I mean, don't you have to prove yourself to become one of you guys?"

Y/N raised an eyebrow and gave a noise of surprise, while Umeji merely stared at her blankly.

"This isn't some talent competition Osana. If I know you will fit in with us, you don't have to do anything like that!" Y/N exclaimed in outrage, causing Osana to flash her a sheepish look.

"S-Sorry, it's just-"

"Delinquents never apologise" corrected Umeji with a small smirk, remembering when Osoro kept reminding him of it, "it's a common ground rule. Unless of course you're in shit with one of your own members, which happens a lot now that I think of it." Umeji seemed to wince as he recalled getting hit in the back of the head with Hokuto's pipe. Y/N snickered as Osana shot them a strange look, but in the end chose to ignore his statement. She looked around and couldn't help but notice the absence of the other members.

"If you don't mind me asking... where ARE the others."

Y/N scoffed and for a second Osana believe that she was being mocked, when suddenly, the H/C-haired girl replied.

"I have no idea where those idiots are. We always meet here after school anyways, so I seriously doubt that they've went home yet" spoke Y/N with a slight roll of her eyes. Osana nodded, but then gained a nervous expression on her face.

"But what if they don't like me?" asked the redhead, earning a crafty smile from Y/N.

"Just be yourself when you're flustered. They'll accept you in no time" Y/N said nonchalantly, dismissing the question with a wave of her hand. Osana grinned and nodded. This was the first time that she had considered that being a tsundere would be a good idea. Usually she despised her inability to be nice to others, but with these people, she didn't feel that way.

"Who the fuck are you?" called a deep voice from behind her, causing Osana to turn around and frown at the tall blonde male. She stood up and brushed off the dirt from her skirt, before walking up to him and placing her hands on her hips.

"And why does that concern you, huh?" she spoke snidely, pointed her finger at him with a sneer on her face. Hokuto stared at the girl in bewilderment as he was not expecting her to answer so rudely, but quickly regained control of his features. They stared each other down for a while, neither knowing what to say. On one hand, Osana didn't want to push him too much in case he actually began hating her, and on the other hand Hokuto became unsure of himself because he saw her sitting with Y/N and Umeji. Was she a friend to them?

"Hey Hokuto! This is Osana Najimi. She's one of us now" declared Y/N, moving to stand beside her with a small smirk. She turned to Umeji and winked, causing the blonde to snicker into his hand at Hokuto's shocked expression.

"One of us? When did this happen?" he asked indignantly, earning a scowl from Osana.

"Would you stop questioning me already, baka!"

Hokuto examined her briefly, before a small smirk curved on his lips.

"Okay, whatever you say" he spoke, raising his hands into the air as a sign of surrender, causing Osana to huff. Hokuto sat down on the grass and leaned against the wall as the others followed his actions. Suddenly, Umeji perked up and turned to Hokuto with a questioning glance.

"Where were you anyways?" he asked, "We always meet here after school."

Hokuto scoffed and a small chuckle escaped his mouth. "Oh nothing... just got caught up with stuffing Murasaki's head into a water bucket. Nothing unusual" he shrugged nonchalantly, but the grin still remained on his face. Osana turned to him with wide eyes and without thinking it through, chuckled at his story.

"Seriously? That is so cool!" she exclaimed, causing Hokuto to turn to her with widened eyes. Osana seemed to realise what had happened and quickly decided to cover up her tracks.

"I-I mean, sure, I could have done the same any day!" she yelled, crossing her arms over her chest. Hokuto smirked and copied her actions.

"Oh really?" he challenged, "Why don't you do it then?"

Osana looked at him with slight hesitation. "Like right now? But you already did that today!"

Hokuto smirked and leaned back on his hands. He gained a mischievous expression in his eyes as he stared back at the redhead.

"Are you scared Najimi? ~" he asked, leaning forward slightly, causing Osana to go red in the face at his mocking tone of voice.

"N-No! I'm never scared!"

"Mhm, totally ~" Hokuto said with a smug expression. Y/N quickly turned to Umeji who wore a huge smirk on his face and whispered urgently.

"I think we should give them some space" she spoke, earning a small groan from Umeji.

"And miss this performance? No way" he said, but when Y/N gave him a firm glare he shook his head and complied.

"Fine, fine. But you owe me ten thousand yen" he proclaimed. Y/N turned to him and smacked him on the shoulder with a small growl. Umeji raised a brow and pinched her sides causing Y/N to yelp and then giggle when he began tickling her.

"Ah- no- STOP!" she exclaimed, before standing up and bolting for the exit to the school. Umeji laughed and quickly shot after her, hearing curses being thrown at him by his one and only.

Osana and Hokuto shared a look, before snickering into their hands.

"I ship it" Osana declared as Hokuto gave a noise of agreement. They turned back to each other and the purple eyed delinquent smirked at her.

"So, are you going to follow up on your promises or are you just talk?"

Osana glared at him and quickly stood up on her feet.

"Of course I am! Watch me!" she yelled, before stomping away towards the school entrance. Hokuto grinned and scrambled to follow her inside. It was so refreshing to have another member, and Osana seemed like a fun person to be around.

'I like her.'
