I reached his room and knocked his door nervously, I didn't know why I felt so nervous as I was supposed to come later for revision anyway.
Maybe I could just leave the burger by his door?
Just as I was about to bend down to place the plate on the floor the door opened and Amajiki looked down at me, my body warmed up just from his gaze, I felt like I hadn't seen him for ages when really I saw him a lunch.

"o-oh, you're here to revise, I'll just get my stuff ready" he said starting to turn back to his room.
"n-no, I erm just came to bring you some dinner, you weren't downstairs so I just wanted to make sure you were eating" I blushed feeling a little nervous pushing the plate towards him.
"thank you... I-is that your half eaten burger too?" he started to smile as I felt even more embarrassed.
"ah! Sorry! I was kinda worried that Nejire would eat it so I took it with me... I hope you're OK" I went to reach for my burger to go back downstairs when the plate was pulled away from me.
Amajikis ears had became red on the tips "erm, maybe you could eat with me". I looked up, his jawline looking sharp at this angle.
I couldn't help but feel happy, I nodded and walked into his room sitting at the table with him.
My mind wondered to what had happened the last time I was sat here with him, I felt my cheeks heat up at the thought.
"are you OK?" he asked, he must have noticed my red cheeks!
"y-yeah I hope you enjoy your food" I smiled eating the rest of mine.

I wondered, why was he in his room alone, wouldn't he want to hang out with kimi or mirio? I didn't want to bother him and be nosey though.
He started biting into the burger as I finished mine, I felt a little embarrassed that I ate mine so quickly, I didn't want him thinking I was a pig.
I sighed and forced myself to ask the question I had been dreading to ask "a-are we still going skating on Saturday?".
He looked up, his eyes seeming confused by my question "y-yeah, why wouldn't we?".
I felt a wave of relief, phew!
"I erm" I tried to think of a reason as I didn't want to say because of Kimi but my mind just wouldn't work.
He leaned against his arm "is it because of Kimi?".
I felt a little shocked that he had realised and my eyes darted away from his "erm... Maybe" I admitted, I couldn't lie, even if I tried I think he'd see through me anyway.
"don't worry, we haven't made plans for this weekend, although I tried for Sunday but she didn't seem interested, I - I guess I need to try harder" he looked away.
I felt upset that he wanted to spend time with her, but what was worse was she didn't seem to want to?
"that's a little strange" I had to hold myself back from saying what I really felt as I didn't like him feeling bad about himself but I also didn't want to talk crap about his girlfriend right in front of him.
"hmm, I'm just not good enough, m-maybe if I get some money together I can go to the restaurant she wanted to go to" he suggested.
"but she should want to go anywhere with you, not just expensive places, what was your original plan?" I asked frustrated.
He furrowed his brow and looked up with a hint of innocence "a-a picnic" he seemed embarrassed by his own choice.
It seemed so cute and dreamy, I had to stop myself from picturing me with him having a picnic together instead.
"a picnic sounds wonderful" I sighed happily daydreaming about what I'd wear and what sort of foods we would eat.
I felt his eyes on me and turned back to him nervously trying to change the subject "h-how come you don't revise with her?".
"oh, erm, well we already planned this and I enjoy revising with you, you're really h-helpful... Kimi can get annoyed if you don't understand first time, I think she's a little fast paced, I erm just need to work a lot harder" his cheeks became red.
My blood boiled, she got annoyed at him!? What sort of girlfriend was she! I bet she'd hate to help me then as I was very much a visual learner, I got confused a lot and it made me upset.
"that doesn't sound very nice of her!" I let out loudly surprised by my own tone of voice.
He looked up "no, no it's my fault, you know I'm a little hopeless sometimes" he looked down at his hands starting to fidget as he spoke.
"Amajiki, you're not hopeless, some people are good at some things and others are good at different things. Like I hate maths but you're great at it, I prefer English... Well you're great at that too, you're good at everything you do... I mean! You don't seem to struggle" i blushed feeling my cheeks burn from openly complimenting him.
He stopped fidgeting and looked back up seeming surprised "t-thanks" I could tell he thought I was lying, even if I definitely wasn't.
I didn't like that she made him feel worse about himself when he already degraded himself daily.
I was also still sensitive that he was with her, I wanted to ask why he liked her because I couldn't see any good traits at the moment, but I could never ask such a question, it's not like you can choose who you like anyway.

"so, are you busy Sunday?" my heart started to beat faster as he asked.
"s-surprisingly yes... I-I have a date" I blushed hiding my face with my ears from embarrassment.
"with Mark?" his voice felt so blunt which made me peak from behind my ear, how did he know!?
"did someone tell you?" I asked as I watched him release his lip from biting down on it.
He shook his head "n-no, I just noticed how close you were getting, he seems to like you" he scratched the back of his head beginning to look awkward.
I felt my cheeks heat up more "I-I never noticed".
"he's pretty obvious, and he's so confident... S-so you like him too r-right?" he asked, his words felt as if they were trembling.
"I-I don't know him that well, he's nice" I felt a little awkward, he was similar though as he barely knew kimi.
"oh, S-so he's not the guy you have a crush on?" his eyes met mine, my heart raced, I felt so intimidated, why did he have to ask that question!?
"o-oh, you erm remember I said I had a crush" I tried to fake laugh it off avoiding the main question.
"so he's not..." he lowered his face looking lost in thought.
I felt so nervous that he was thinking over this a lot!
"n-no but I'm giving it a shot... I've never been on a date before, I-I'm going to get my revision book I'll be r-right back" I stuttered over my words rushing out of his room quickly shutting the door behind me getting out a breath, why was he so interested in these questions!?
