YOU AND BAJI sat side by side beside each other on the steps of the shrine. The raven haired boy's bronze eyes were staring ahead aimlessly as he appeared out to be in some thought.

A whip of cool wind went past by you, making Baji's hair sway freely in your direction, ticking the side of your cheek. A strange and unknown sensation spread through your body and that was when your heart beat decided to pick pace.

You stole a glance at his side profile and immediately averted your gaze to the Toman members who were discussing something about Takemichi.

"Sometimes he seems like a totally different person to me." Said Mitsuya earning nods of agreement from the rest of the group.

The conversation flew past Makiko's head causing her to stand up abruptly from her spot, so now she was no more using her phone, "Alright, I'm gonna go to home, " she announced, "Was fun talking to you guys."

You ignored her and others didn't take much Interest either as some muttered, "Okay," or "See you."

She huffed sparing a glance at you and left.

You were thankful for that.

You went back to staring at the floor before deciding to sneak one more glance at his flawless face, but unfortunately this time he was found already staring back at you causing you to freak out mentally.

"Is there something on my face which is keep making you to take a look at me?" he questioned with raised eyebrow.

"Uh.. I.." this interaction caught full attention of your friends.

"Uhuh..I'm listening." he said nodding his head and placing his chin on his hand as his eyes fixtated upon you.

"You have dried leaves stuck in your hair, Baji-san." your gaze averted towards your savior.

Chifuyu pointed his index finger at his hair which made Baji frantically examine his hair as he brushed it with his fingers. "Where?" he asked with a frown.

You noticed Mitsuya tip-toed behind Baji from the corner of your eyes, dropping a few dried leaves on his hair before slithering away.

He finally gripped a leaf in his hand, staring questioningly at it then narrowed his accusing eyes to you, "It wasn't there before."

You blinked at him, slowly registering in your mind that what the dark haired man was implying to.

You held up your hands in surrender. "I didn't do anything."

"Don't lie, Y/N," said Mikey, "We all know you're jealous of Baji's hair." he said shooting you a smile which was far away from a genuine one.

Traitor!

Baji squinted his eyes at you before saying. "Now you take them out." he pointed at his hair.

You heaved a great sigh. "What if I say no?" you challenged, raising your eyebrows.

A corner of his lip curved upwards, "You wanna know?" he said, accepting the challenge which caused you to back away after you two had a staring contest and you broke the eye contact. Whew, his gaze was intense.

You finally obeyed his command.

Extending your hand towards his hair, you slowly removed the unwanted stuff from his hair. You didn't realise when you already get rid of those and aimlessly began brushing his silky smooth hair with your fingers.

The realisation finally struck you which caused the heat to creep its way to your face. You were thankful for your s/c | hair which veiled your warm face from the others.

"S-sorry." you mumbled immediately as you withdrew your hand out of embarrassment but when you were halfway through it, your feminine hand was gripped by a muscular one and was placed to it's previous spot, "I don't mind." he said slowly as refused to meet your eyes, causing your lips to lift up in a genuine smile.

Giddy feeling took over you followed by a whole zoo being unlocked and start a rumble in your stomach.

"Now, If you two are done with flirting then can we get to the point that why we're you guys actually got called here." Said Draken, quirking up his blonde eyebrow at you two.

"Wha-" your eyes widened at his words.

"We.. we weren't flirting." Baji almost stammered as he said it and hid the light blush which dusted his cheeks pink.

"Whatever floats your boat." the braid haired man replied with a smirk.

"Shut up and continue whatever you were about to say." he muttered.

"Right." he responded before turning his face to the other Toman members, "As you all know Pah is in Juvenile detention causing the third division captain's rank to be empty."

You glanced at Baji who's posture went rigid, his jaw tensed and fingers formed into fists.

However, the sudden change of his mood went unnoticed by everyone else as they paid attention to what Draken said next," Mikey has decided to grant that rank to someone else.." he trailed off, "To Tetta Kisaki." he announced.

Murmurs and gasps were heard from every other member of the group. You wondered what was the big deal.

"Isn't he the former member of Moebius?" Baji sounded taut as he said it.

"Yes, He was." Draken corrected, "But he is useful."

"So you would replace Pah with him?" his voice only laced with irritation as he questioned.

"But we are going to need his strength," Mikey's carefree voice dropped into a serious one, "And I'm going to announce it tomorrow."

Baji's frown deepened as he stood up, "I don't accept it," He looked down at Mikey who was still seated on the stairs, "It's stupid."

Now it was Mikey's turn to stand up. His pitch black eyes were narrowed at Baji, "It doesn't matter if you accept it or not, as long as I want him to join," he earned a glare from the long haired boy when he added, "You're forgetting that who's the president here."

"Whatever," Baji let out a humourless snort, "Also, what do you mean by 'Strength', he looks like a wimp."

A chuckle escaped past your lips at his choice of words which made you receive glares from the two blondes. You quickly pursed your lips, placing an index finger on the lips afterwards.

Mikey ignored you and spoke," When I said strength, I wasn't implying to the physical strength," His gaze was unwavering as he stared into Baji's bronze eyes, "I meant that we can use his intellectuality for the future references."

The black haired guy only snickered at his statement in a humourless way, "That's ironic because.." he trailed off before continuing and curving up his lips in a bitter smile, "It seems like you're the one getting used by his 'Intellectuality'."

"Haah?" Mikey took menacing steps towards Baji but was stopped by Draken's extended arm.

"Stop you two."

Mikey crossed his arms over his chest, staring off to the distance as Baji glared at the shorter boy while tapping his feet on the steps of the stairs.

"You're not allowed in Tomorrow's meeting." declared the shorter blonde with finality in his tone.

Baji's lips curled up in rage, muttering a, "Don't care.", as he stormed away from there.

You watched his figure disappear with worried eyes.

"Don't worry," Draken reassured noticing your stressed expressions, "He will come around."

You nodded but deep inside, you truly doubted it.
