25 - What He Loves About Her

"Thank you, Y/N," Akari said taking deep breaths after running away. It was hard for her because Akari has asthma. It can easily tire her.

Y/N touched her painful cheek. "Who knew Nanae is strong at slapping me." Y/N said, still wincing from the pain.

"Let's treat that to the nurse...! Or we can maybe report it to the principal!" Akari said looking concerned at her. Y/N smiled and shook her head. "No, we shouldn't report it to the principal. I have been reporting a lot and I don't think this time she would believe me." Y/N said.

"Is it because of them?" Akari asked and Y/N nodded. "I'm sorry...! You and Anna have been having trouble with them..." Akari said.

"It's alright, Akari," Y/N said. "We didn't know that they will end up hating us." Y/N flashed a smile at her.

Akari smiled back at her feeling a lot better. A familiar red-haired person was suddenly approaching them.

"Y/N, Akari, how are you two doing?" Hachiro asked. He went early to school today. Akari waved her hand at him saying hello and Y/N greeted him with a smile.

"Just saved Akari from Himari." Y/N said. "I saw her getting hurt by those people." Akari nodded.

Hachiro noticed the bruised cheek on Y/N. He grabbed her face gently and examined it. "Did something happened?" He asked Y/N.

"Ah...Nanae slapped me..." Y/N said. "After I blocked Akari from Himari and Ichika, she unexpectedly moved towards me and slapped me...very hard." Y/N said.

"I tried telling her to come with me to the nurse but she won't listen!" Akari lied, just to get Hachiro and Y/N alone. Y/N looked at her in disbelief. "I didn't say I don't want to go! We end up talking about reporting-"

"No! You said you don't want to!" Akari said and Y/N was really confused now. Akari winked at her and Y/N already knew what's happening. "Wait for a second! Akari-"

Hachiro pulled Y/N's arm inside the school. "Akari, I'll take care of Y/N. You can go now, thanks for telling me." Hachiro said and Akari looked at Y/N with a playful smile to them as Akari went to her class.

"Hachiro, you don't have to pull me!" Y/N said trying to get free from his grasp. "Oh really? and if you try to escape?" Hachiro asked.

"Akari was just telling that just to tease me." Y/N murmured that Hachiro can't hear. He thought she was murmuring about unfairness.

Hachiro slipped his hand to her hand and pretend like nothing happened. Y/N felt his hand with hers and redden when he clasped her hand.

They walked quietly at the infirmary feeling all flustered. The nurse hasn't arrived yet so Hachiro was now the one treating her bruised cheek. Y/N stared at his face as he applies the ice, her eyes focused on his unusual eye color, his eyes were orange which she doesn't how did he get those or his parents. She moved her eyes until it reached his lips. Y/N felt unsettled all of sudden and looked away making Hachiro accidentally placed the ice on her ear.

"Are you alright? Did I hurt you?" He asked looking feared. Y/N smiled nervously and shook her head."No, I just remembered something really embarrassing and I flinch all the time whenever I think about it" Y/N said.

The atmosphere was awkward and silent. Hachiro sighed. "You can forget about what happened before," He said that startled Y/N. "I just can't help it..." He said. Y/N can see a hint of blush on his face.

Y/N felt strange, questioning herself what made her attract these boys to her. "I'm only a weeb and much likely weird, my personality is also cheery and crazy so how did these boys like me?" Y/N thought and a question came to her.

"Hachiro, do you think I'm attractive?" Y/N asked. Hachiro froze for a second and smiled.

"Yeah, you're really attractive." He said smirking at her. "What makes me attractive then...?" Y/N asked.

"Well...you are very kind and selfless, I love how you care about others more than yourself because I would do the same thing. You're really beautiful in my sight and you have this cheery personality. The way you never give up or show yourself weak really made me admire you." He said.

Y/N felt embarrassed after hearing what he said. Y/N buried her face to his chest. "Thank you for saying that." Y/N said. Hachiro stroked her hair. "Of course, I could give you lots of what I admire about you." He said.

"You...!" Y/N punched his stomach gently. "You better hurry up or we will be late to class." Y/N said.

"I want to stay with you than going to class," Hachiro said. Y/N glowed at him "I want to stay with you as well but I am dead if my parents found out that I skipped class!" Y/N barked.

Hachiro chuckled and pinched her other side of the cheek. "Okay, let's eat lunch together later." He said. Y/N nodded and left the infirmary.

After school, Y/N fell on the bed kept thinking what Hachiro said earlier. It really made her happy hearing what people think about her. Y/N felt red remembering herself looking at his lips wanting something.

"Argh...!!!" Y/N yelled on her pillow. Anna peeked in looking strange and confused. "The freak is wrong with you?" Anna said.

"Nothing...! Mind your own business!" Y/N said as she threw a pillow at her sister's face. Anna glared at her. "MOM, Y/N is thinking about yaoi again!" Anna shouted downstairs.

"ANNA!" Y/N said as she chased her laughing sister. "Y/N! If you keep watching those boyxboy things, I will take your phone away!" Her mother said in the kitchen.

"Mom!!! I wasn't thinking about that! I just feel happy!" Y/N whined while enduring Anna with tickles.
