Gakushū didn't know what to feel. He just didn't understand Karma today.

One minute the red head was being cheeky and mischievous, the next he was sweet, clingy and demanded for his attention. If Gakushū didn't know any better he would think Karma was flirting with him! Well, he did try to kiss him earlier--

"No" he shook the thought out of his mind. Karma was just teasing him, it was a prank. "There was something under my eye and he blew it away-"

"You do know that talking to yourself is the first sign of madness?" Came a cold, smug voice. Gakushū sighed in frustration, before turning around and saw Takuya smirking at him. He knew it was Takuya because of the shitty smirk he wore, as if he was superior. "My least favorite twin" he sighed. "How long have you been standing there?"

"Just seconds" Takuya went to stand beside Gakushū.

"I see" Gakushū responded, beginning to walk.

Takuya followed his lead. "Sakura has been lonely lately" he brought up. "Your cute girlfriend is being, neglected by you"

"She's not neglected" Gakushū defended. "She understands that I've been busy with school work, I promised to make it up to her" feeling guilty, he asked Takuya "She hasn't been, by herself right?"

Takuya grinned, showing off sharp canines. Gakushū was oddly reminded of Karma's smile

But then again almost anything can remind him of Karma these days.

"Oh no, Etsuko has been keeping her company" Takuya answered slyly. "They have been close, these days" he put emphasis on the word 'close'.

"Ahh" Gakushū responded dryly.

"Not much response huh? This is boring" Takuya thought. He felt annoyed, and very bored. So out of a whim, he said "Takuma seems to have taken a liking for Karma"

He noticed the corners of Gakushū's eye twitch.

"Karma's been his main topic these days, Karma this, Karma that, it's a pain hearing Karma's name come out of my brother's mouth" Takuya sighed.

"Then tape his mouth shut" Gakushū responded impatiently.

"Oh, here's a reaction" Takuya thought, amused.

And so he continued to bait the strawberry blonde. Making up stories about his brother and painting him to be head over heels for Karma, except that he's too stupid to realize his own feelings. He lied enough to get under Gakushū's skin, but not enough that it would backfire on him.

Another idea came to his mind. It was a douche move but he didn't care, he just wanted to amuse himself.

Hours later, he sent Karma Gakushū to get extra brooms and supplies from the shed behind the school.

He secretly followed them, and waited until the two were inside, and then, he snuck towards the sliding door, and

THUD!

slammed it shut.

He smirked when he heard the panicked banging against the door. Karma's anxiety must have kicked in, he hasn't forgotten about his claustrophobia after all. The shed isn't a tiny space, but it wasn't ideally spacious either, the red head must be shaking and hyperventilating because of this.

Takuya pressed his ear against the door and heard Gakushū's humming. Oh, he must be calming Karma down.

Satisfied with his shenanigan Takuya turned on his heel and walked away without a care, leaving the two locked for the remainder of the day.

Gakushū's father will come looking for them eventually.
