"Here you go (L/N)-senpai!" Kazutora gleefully spoke, handing her the books she needed.

She had been tutoring him for quite a while now, him being more than happy to spend time with her. Although his grades are pretty good, she didn't complain about the fact that the teacher wanted her to be his tutor.

"Thank you Hanemiya-kun. Now come on and have a seat." she offered, patting the empty seat beside her.

He obliged while smiling, remembering not to stare at her. She was his senior, a whole grade older than him and he couldn't help but develop a teeny tiny crush on her.

He didn't know that Baji knew, and Baji didn't mind telling him that he does know. Know about Kazutora's infatuation with their (L/N)-san, or (L/N)-senpai as he calls her.

"I'm quite surprised at you, you know. You're grades are getting better, and I'm glad that you understand me rambling about all this stuff." she spoke, motioning at the stuff in front of them.

Kazutora had a faint pink in his cheeks, listening to every word she said.

"You're just too good at teaching, senpai." he complimented.

She just chuckled at this, opening one book and thus, starting their lesson for the day.

...

"So how was you study session with (L/N)-san?" Chifuyu asked, totally not jealous about the fact that Kazutora gets to have time with her.

"I bet he flirted with her again!" Baji laughed, slapping Kazutora on his back.

"Oww..." the dual-colored-hair male mumbled, rubbing on the place where his friend slapped him, "I didn't flirt with her! I don't even know if she'll know that I'm flirting!" he defended.

Baji and Chifuyu just laughed at him, smug grins on their faces.

Kazutora had another tint of pink in his cheeks again, obvious enough for anybody near him to notice.

"He's blushing!" Baji yelled, pointing at his friend's face.

"I'm not... It's just too hot today." banana boy grumbled, scratching his nape.

Chifuyu was about to tease him when he heard an all-too familiar voice nearby.

"Guys listen..." he whispered, pointing to some empty classroom, "It sounds like (L/N)-san..."

The three of them stopped in their tracks and listened to the conversation from the doorway being careful not to be heard or noticed.

"(L/N)-san please! Let me court you!" a male voice yelled loudly.

They all recognized him as one of their seniors, as they furrowed their brows, listening in to the conversation.

"Chifuyu stop pulling on my hair!" Baji whisper-yelled, not wanting to be caught.

"I'm sorry Baji-san!" Chifuyu apologized, still whispering.

Kazutora stayed silent and wondered about how this will turn out.

"Oh?" they heard the female ask, "Are you really sure about this?"

Kazutora's heart dropped at her words, feeling like he's been defeated already.

Baji just rolled his eyes while Chifuyu made sure not to pull Baji's hair again.

"HAI!" the male in front of her answered, bowing down and handing her a box of chocolates.

"Well, it may only be a simple crush Kiri-san. Or it's probably just because you haven't eaten yet?" she asked worriedly, motioning for the said boy to stand up.

〔Note: I just used 'Kiri-san' cause it kinda sounds better than (R/N) or Random Name lol〕

Chifuyu and Kazutora arched their eyebrows while Baji tried his best not to laugh.

Kiri looked confused at her statement, but looked flustered at the same time.

"What do you mean (L/N)-san?" he asked.

"All I'm saying is, you said you have a crush on me, correct?" she asked in a a gentle voice.

Kazutora was almost about to walk away and forget this encounter ever happened when Baji suddenly grabbed his uniform collar, making him stay.

"H-hai..." Kiri stuttered.

〔Lol why do I think that Kiri-san looks like a good boy???〕

"So eventually, it'll be gone in a few weeks or so. And besides, you have many admirers here, you know. I'm grateful that you, somehow, had developed an infatuation for me. I'm very grateful." she spoke, bowing a bit. "But I'm so sorry because someone had gotten my interest already. I'm really, really, sorry."

"(L/N)-san..." Kiri mumbled, "I understand. Thank you for being clear with me. I appreciate it!"

He then grinned at her, no sadness in his eyes whatsoever. She only smiled at him as he ran out of the room, looking at the three eavesdroppers for a bit before running away with an even redder face.

"Huh... I don't understand..." Baji mumbled, looking at the male who just went out of the room.

Chifuyu internally cried at the thought of him being rejected by his crush like that, the idea of confessing to (Y/N) being thrown out of the window.

"Now's your chance banana hair! Go confess to her already!" Baji whisper-yelled, pushing Kazutora inside the room.

Before he could complain, the door shut in front of his face.

"Oh? What is it Hanemiya-kun? Did you forget something?" His senpai's voice rang out, making him face her.

His face heated up, not knowing what to say after heat he had just seen.

"O-oh... I uh... I just wanted to... To walk with you to your house, senpai..." he stuttered, laughing nervously.

"Oh come on! Don't be such a coward and just confess your damn feelings already!" Baji whisper-yelled, loud enough for everybody to hear.

Chifuyu face palmed at his superior's obnoxiousness.

(Y/N)'s cheeks heated up as well, her lips forming into a slight smile as she looked at Kazutora who can't seem to face her properly.

"What feelings, Hanemiya-kun?" she asked, fixing up her things and trying hard not to mind him.

"I... I've also had a crush on you for a while now, senpai. But.. But don't worry. I know it'll be gone in a few weeks time." he mumbled, fiddling with his fingers.

He only whispered it, not knowing if she even heard or not.

He saw her head towards him, carrying her bag. He looked at the floor and flinched slightly when she held her bag in front of him, "Here Hanemiya-kun. Please carry it for me because I still have to close the classroom."

He saw her smile at him, face flushed as he nodded and held her bag for her.

They went out, Kazutora's mind filling with nervousness as he didn't hear her response. She still hasn't responded yet.

As she was locking the door, he admired her and scolded himself for being so straightforward, thinking that things will probably get awkward and different now.

"There." he heard her say, "Now, what was it again Hanemiya-kun?" she asked sweetly.

"Huh? Oh... Uhh.. Never mind."

"Hmm? I thought you said you liked me?" she asked.

The onlookers hid behind in the corner of the hallway, trying their best to hear the conversation.

"I... Yeah, I kinda do..." Kazutora sheepishly said, looking down while still holding his senpai's bag.

"Well, let's make you fall in love with me, if that's fine by you." (Y/N) smiled while looking at him.

Kazutora's eyes lit up as he nodded, "Hai."

Baji and Chifuyu walked out, still mumbling to themselves.

"So do you think they're dating now?" Baji questioned, pulling his hair tie off his hair.

"I don't know... I didn't hear anything after they went out of the room, Baji-san..." Chifuyu trailed off.

"Better see for ourselves then, huh? Now let's go tail them..."
