"WOOOOAAHHH! (Y/N) WEARING A MAID COSTUME?!" Mizuki exclaimed as his eyes sparkles in excitement.

You throw your hard-covered book at his face as he groans in pain, "In your dreams, knucklehead. There's no activity that involves a maid cafe. Go to Akihabara you weirdo," You said as you rolled your eyes.

Ritsu chuckled, "I didn't know you have a maid fetish, Mizuki. Now you're more disgusting than before," He said with a mocking smile.

Mizuki rolled his eyes, "You guys are mean." He said.

"And you're a weirdo, so that's that." You said as you grabbed the paper that fell on the ground.

You were busy looking at the date, time, and current event that's going to happen next week. Mizuki was busy playing with his phone as Ritsu happily, yet quietly read the novel that he borrowed from you.

"Oh, this book is a tragic slow burn," Ritsu said as you perked your head up to look at him.

"Hm?" You hummed as you slowly looked back at the papers on the table in front of you.

"Yeah, just like her love life," Mizuki said as Ritsu sternly glare at him.

"You're the one to talk. You got no bitches, Mizuki," You said without even looking at him and keeping your attention to your paper works.

Mizuki gasp in an offended way as Ritsu stared at you with a surprised expression. Why? It's his first time hearing you curse, and he's not gonna lie, that was pretty intimidating.

"How dare you? At least I got a FAT ass," He said as he sassily glares at you.

"Still no bitches though~," You said adding a tune to it.

"At least I didn't get rejected," He said as he smirks at you. But still, you never looked at him and kept your attention to the papers.

"At least I have admirers. Where are yours, though?" You asked as you finally looked at him and smirked.

Mizuki sighs in defeat, "That's foul." He said as he looked away from you.

'She's kinda scary...'

Ritsu thought as he just stare at the two of you who were still bickering at each other.

"By the way Ritsu," You called out to him as he snapped out of his thoughts and looked at you as he hummed in response.

You giggled, "Do you play Valorant?" You asked with a grin.

Mizuki sighs as he rolled his eyes, "Here we go again. Say you don't know, she's gonna take you to one of her tournaments, I swear-"

"No, but I know the game though," He said.

Suddenly your eyes sparkle in excitement, "Come with me! After school! And you'll see my secret life! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE-"

Ritsu chuckled, "Okay, Okay Senpai, don't get too excited though," Ritsu said which made her laugh sheepishly.

"Sorry, it's just the stress. The reason why I asked you to is that Mizuki can't join me later," You said as Ritsu looked over to Mizuki who just nodded.

"Yeah, A family member of mine just got home, and we gotta meet them at the airport for some reason. You don't mind coming with her, right?" He asked Ritsu.

"Yeah, I don't mind. But why though?" Ritsu asked.

"That place is a gaming cafe, meaning there are a lot of boys there. Even though (Y/n) has made many male friends there, I still don't trust them especially when she's there all alone." Mizuki said with a serious tone, and also with a serious expression.

Meaning, He's not joking around with (Y/n)'s safety.

Ritsu nodded, "Sure, I'll come with her." He said with a smile.

Of course, he's capable of protecting his Senpai. He's an esper for goodness sake. He's just hoping that there's no esper there that's much stronger than him, or else that'll be a problem.

"YAAAAYY!" You exclaimed as you shake Ritsu by his shoulder which made him dizzy for a bit. Noticing this, you smiled and half-heartedly laughed, "Sorry..." You apologized.

"I-Its okay, (Y/n)-senpai. Also, you don't mind me taking someone with me, right?" He asked with a smile.

"It better not be Shigeo, please, I'm going to cry and not focus on that game!" You said with a worried tone.

Ritsu laughed, "No, No, don't worry! It's a friend!" He said which made you sigh in relief.

"Sure sure," you replied.

✧

You were too excited to get home and get dressed. The gaming cafe hadn't held any tournaments ever since last year, and the fact that you got picked to be one of their players is an honor.

Let's just say you've been going there every weekend to play Valorant with your friends, and the owner saw how good you are at playing the game, he decided to put you on the tournament team.

It's just walking distance, maybe around 15 blocks away from your household. Mizuki and his family were already out of their house to get to the airport.

And you and Ritsu decided to meet at the gaming cafe.

Hopefully, he's being truthful about not bringing Shigeo.

You were currently wearing a (Fav/c) hoodie, along with your black skirt, you also wore some black leggings and your favorite sneakers.

You took out your phone as you kept walking, keeping yourself on the sidewalk.

Huh, Shigeo's good friend hm? You were just hoping that Shigeo didn't tell 'him' about your embarrassing confession to him. You sigh as you turned off your phone and put it back into your pocket, deciding to walk a little bit faster you thought of who could that friend be. Ritsu didn't even introduce them to you through chat, so you guessed he's planning to do it in person, which was kind of making you nervous for some sort of reason.

Taking a sharp turn, you arrived at the alleyway where the gaming cafe is. It looks a bit sketchy, but once you enter inside that alleyway, you'll see neon light signs pointing towards the main door of the gaming cafe.

You smiled when you saw Ritsu along with the two friends he has as a companion. Ritsu turned his head towards you and smiled.

"Konbanwa (Y/n)-Senpai," Ritsu greeted with a smile. You wave at the three of them as the blonde boy next to him smiled at you.

"Hello," He greeted as he waved shortly, he offered his hand to you for a handshake, "Hanazawa Teruki, though I would much prefer if you would call me Teru," He said.

You shook his hand as you shortly laugh, "Nice to meet you, Teru. Just call me (Y/n)," You said as Teruki nodded.

"Alright, (Y/n)-chan it is," He said as he winked at you which caused you to chuckle.

The orange-red head boy with his hair up approached you with a grin. He stands in front of Teruki, Teruki sighed as he smiles backing away a little to make some space.

"I already heard you from the owner of this cafe, I always go here when I'm free. Suzuki Sho, hope I can play with you someday," He said as he offered you his hand for a handshake which you also politely shook.

"You're actually cute, can I take you out sometime?" Teruki said with a smile as Ritsu grimaced at his words.

You laughed, "You're quite handsome too, but no. I'm not interested," You said as Sho laughed.

"I like her already! We should hang out sometimes!" He said with a grin.

"That's the exact same thing that Teru said, Suzuki-san," You said smirking at him while raising a brow.

"Witty," Teru said as he looked over to Ritsu with a smile.

Ritsu just has a grimace expression.

These two, especially Teruki don't have the knowledge of you confessing your love to Shigeo and him rejecting you. Ritsu was wondering how they will react, they seem to already have picked a liking to you, but that's no surprise. You have this massive charisma and confidence that makes people like you immediately, even though you're unaware of it.

The four of you guys decided to enter the cafe. It was already prepared as it was big enough to hold any programs. The three males watched as you got immediately approached by your male friends, those people that you made friends with because of the game.

Teruki leaned over to Ritsu, "Why are you here again for?" He asked as he just stares at you as you have a conversation with those male friends you have.

"Her best friend asked me to come with her for her safety. Can't trust people these days, especially when (Y/n)-Senpai is the only female player here," Ritsu replied as he looked over to Sho who just hummed in response.

"I agree, assault and harassment have been getting frequent reports," Sho said as he nod his head.

"She's really cute, I wonder when she'll allow me to take her out on a date," Teruki said with a small smile whilst staring at you.

"Don't. She's really invested in someone," Ritsu quietly said.

Teruki raised his eyebrow as he scoffed, "You know him?" Teru asked.

"Of course I do, he even rejected her right off the bat," He replied as he watched Teruki's expression change into a shocking one, more like on the disbelief side.

"Reject her? with that beauty? Are you serious?" Teru said in disbelief.

"Who is it, Ritsu?" Sho asked, seemingly jumping into the conversation.

Without any hesitation, Ritsu spoke, "Nii-san," He said as he almost laughed at their reaction.

"S-Shigeo?! What?!" Teru.

"I'll be damned." Sho.
