Shirabu leaves the house and begins his journey to school. As he kept walking, he found a boy getting beaten up in the corner. He instantly rushes over to the scene.

Shirabu: Stop it! That's enough. Or I'll call the police.

???: Uh, we weren't doing anything.

Shirabu: Oh my gosh, you are such pathological liars.

Shirabu gets on one knee and looks at the victim.

Shirabu: Are you ok? Does anywhere hurt?

??? (Victim): Um, no, sorry.

Shirabu: Don't lie to me! I don't like when people lie! Tell me did he harm you!

???: Get out, it's none of your business.

Shirabu: Oh, so I should let you bully an innocent boy.

???: I'm not bullying him. I'm just asking for him to pay for something.

Shirabu: For what exactly?

???: None of your business.

Shirabu: Ok then, but if you don't stop, I will call the police and have you arrested for harassment.

???: Oh wow, bangsies over here is going to call the police on me pfft. Whatever.

Shirabu: Ok then, I guess.

Shirabu calls the police and reports the bully.

He goes back to school and on his way; he saw that same kid he rescued go into the school.

Shirabu: Wait, you're the same kid from the corner.

??? (victim): Yea, thanks for helping me out by the way!

Shirabu blushed out of embarrassment and turned away.

Shirabu: You shouldn't let people bully you like that.

??? (victim): Yea, but it was my fault too.

Shirabu: No, it wasn't. Probably.

??? (victim): Yea, it was. I forgot to pay him for helping me.

Shirabu: Did you ask for help? Or did he volunteer to help?

??? (victim): No, he had to do tutor me.

Shirabu: Then did you pay him?

??? (victim): Yes, I did. But he keeps demanding for more.

Shirabu: Oh, well, don't go close to him anymore. OK.

??? (victim): Yea, I won't.

Shirabu: Ok, so uh... what's your name?

Okuma: Okuma, Okuma, Kazue.

Shirabu: I'm Shirabu, Shirabu Kenjirou.

Okuma: So what are you into?

Okuma and Shirabu spend the rest of their period talking with each other.

Semi walks out of the change room and scans the gymnasium. He immediately realizes that Shirabu wasn't there.

Semi: Hey guys. Where's Shira?

Tendou: I don't know. I thought he was with you.

Ushijima: Well, let's just start practice. He can join in when he comes.

After Practice

Semi: Didn't come for practice. Is everything OK?

They were inside the changing room. Semi had been obsessing over Shirabu, who was probably having fun or studying. He was always reading his books and notes. It was very rare to see him not studying.

Semi ran through the hallways and searched almost everywhere. He kept walking until he heard laughter in the boy's washroom on the second floor.

He peeked his head in, and to his surprise, there was a laughing and happy Shirabu in the corner.

Semi: Hey Shirabu, you missed practice today.

Shirabu: Oh, I did. Whatever I'll just tell Ushijima I was busy.

Semi: Doing what?!

Shirabu: ...

Semi: That's what I thought, do you know how worried I was?!

Shirabu's eyes widen and his heart beats a bit faster.

Shirabu: Y-You were w-worried?

Then he stared laughing and not too long after, he cries.

Semi: Why the fuck are you laughing and crying?

Shirabu: Oh wow, the emo Suga is suddenly worrying about other people

Okuma: Who's Suga?

Semi tilted his head to the side.

Semi: Who's that?

Shirabu: A friend, none of your business

Semi: Wow, so you know how to make friends.

Semi walked towards the boy and looked into his eyes.

Semi: Hi, I'm Semi Eita. A friend of Shirabu's.

Okuma: Shirabu said he had little friends. So you must be very special to him.

Okuma: Oh yeah, and I'm Okuma Kazue.

Semi: Nice to meet you, Okuma.

Semi turns towards Shirabu and looks him in the eye.

Semi: Oh, so now I'm special.

Shirabu: Yea, you spoke with my mom. And she was happy while talking with you so...

Semi: OK, whatever. Ushijima wants to talk to you.

Shirabu: OK, whatever. See you later, Okuma.

Okuma: Yea. See you later.

Shirabu left Semi and Okuma in the bathroom. Semi took a step back and looked at Okuma. Okuma turned away and tried to leave the bathroom.

Semi: Wait.

Okuma turned back to look at Semi.

Semi: Do you enjoy hanging out with him?

Okuma: Yea, I guess.

Semi: But is he mean or rude to you?

Okuma: No. Not really.

Semi: O-Ok.

It shocked Semi that Shirabu could be a cheerful person.

Semi: So, how did you guys meet?

Okuma: He helped me out this morning.

Okuma: You're asking a lot of questions. Are you his boyfriend?

Semi blushed and covered his face.

Okuma smirked and raised an eyebrow.

Okuma: Oh, I get it.

Semi: Get what?

Okuma: You like him, and you don't want him to be with anyone else.

Semi's eyes widened.

Okuma: Your face says it all.

Semi: Whatever, I don't like him.

Semi rolls his eyes and leaves the bathroom.

Okuma: I won't take him from you.

Semi: Thanks...
