Now playing: Fallin' By Lil Peep and XXXTENTACION
The music literally suits with this one so... yeah.
βββββββββββ
You sat beside Yuzuha who looked out into the ocean, both of you sitting in the railing.
The wind blew past the both of you as you admired your companion, the school uniform both of you are wearing ruffling a bit. You were busy staring at her as she stared out into the calm ocean beneath the night sky.
The mood was calm and silent, the lighting just perfect.
"Hey, stop staring." she spoke as she gave you the side-eye.
Your cheeks heated up as you tried your best to regain your balance, having flinched a bit at her sudden comment.
"Sorry..." You muttered, not wanting her to think you were a creep or something.
Well, she wouldn't... Probably.
A few more minutes of silence reigned between the two of you as you heard footsteps and light chattering not far from where you both are. You turned a bit to look at it, noticing what seemed to be a couple walking together.
As they neared, you could hear what they were talking about.
"Really? You're the best!" the girl exclaimed as she hugged her boyfriend from the side.
The male just chuckled while giving her a peck to the cheek, the couple finally waking away as their conversation sounded more distant.
You heard Yuzuha scoff as you turned to look at her.
'...She must be thinking of Mitsuya... Or probably Takemichi...'
"Hey (Y/N)," she called, your attention completely focused on her now. "Some people really are very lucky, right?"
The way she made it sound like she was jealous made you curious as to what she's talking about.
"Whatever do you mean, Yuzuha?" you asked back as she turned her gaze towards you.
"I mean, just think about it. Some people really do love someone so much, and the other person actually loves them back. Isn't that weird?" she asked, amused.
You blinked for a few times before smiling, averting your gaze towards the horizon.
"Yeah, but sometimes, no matter how much you love someone, they just can't love you back the same way..."
She looked at you as if you just said something unexpected, the look of amusement evident in her gaze.
"What?" you asked, cheeks heating up the longer you look at her.
"It's just that I didn't expect you to be this sentimental over a simple thing I said." she laughed, you worrying about her if she ever falls off the railing.
"Well, everything you say isn't just a simple thing to me."
That's what you wanted to say but of course, you didn't.
So instead, you just smiled at her, looking back at the rippling water below the both of you.
"(Y/N) I just wanted to ask..." she muttered as you hummed, looking at her.
"I... Do you ever... I don't know, I mean.."
She kept stumbling over her words as you arched an eyebrow, not knowing what she's hinting at.
"What do you want to say?" you asked as she lightly bit her lower lip, looking back at the water.
A few moments of silence reigned again, this time having a hint of weirdness in it.
"...Did you ever had um... How do I say this... Like romantic feelings for someone?" she asked, sounding a bit hopeful as you turned to look at her with a smile.
"Yeah." you grinned, looking at her with interest hoping she'd know who.
"Well, did you ever thought of confessing?" she asked again as she tried her best not to stutter, making you think this was all just a casual conversation.
It may be, or it may not be.
"I'd be damned if I were ever to confess to them. I'm sure they wouldn't give it another thought." you chuckled as you heard her sigh.
And here she thought she might know about your crush's gender.
A random thought popped up in her mind as she turned to look at you again, silently wishing you'd answer her questions correctly.
Well, she's being blunt.
"Why 'they'? Is it a girl?" she asked slowly as you widened your eyes a bit.
"Maybe?" you muttered playfully as she huffed, the sound of water and night insects filling in the silence.
She thought for a brief moment before deciding to just take her chances with this one.
"So, you like a girl?" she asked again.
"I don't know." you shrugged your shoulders as you kept yourself balanced, not wanting to fall off the railing and into the cold water below.
She looked at you in disbelief and as you were about to say something, your phone rang. Both of you made eye contact before you carefully got off the railing and into the concrete sidewalk.
"It's my brother..." you mumbled to her while putting at the phone, showing her the screen which had the name of your brother in it.
You walked a good few steps away from her as you answered your brother's call, Yuzuha just staring at your figure all the while.
She noticed how you nodded while answering, and how you kicked some pebbles until the call ended.
She averted her gaze as you walked back to where she was, picking up your stuff as she watched you quietly.
"Hey, my brother's calling me to go home. He said Hakkai's there too, and it'd be great if you were to come over as well." you spoke as you looked at her, not able to make direct eye contact.
She walked out for a while before nodding, getting off the railing and looking at you holding her bag. She motioned for you to give it to her and you did so, failing to notice the faint blush coating her cheeks.
"Sure."
She was unusually silent as the both of you walked, cars passing by the both of you and some people occasionally walking by.
She kept fiddling with her fingers, stopping for a minute when you look at her. She kept stumbling nervously too, as if contemplating on whether to say something or to just stay silent.
Well, she always chose the latter.
You sighed as you stopped walking, trying to look at her fully while placing both of your hands on her shoulders.
"Is there a problem? Did Taiju do anything stupid again?" you confronted her as she just looked at you with wide eyes.
"It's not like that..." she mumbled sheepishly.
"Then what is? Jeez Yuzuha, you've been acting a little bit off today. Something going on?"
The way you absent-mindedly frowned got her thinking and for a while, she summoned up enough courage to ask you something she never would've asked.
"Who do you like?" she whispered as you got caught off-guard, looking away unexpectedly.
"...Do I have to answer?" you muttered, cursing internally at the fact that you're basically unable to lie in front of her.
Why not though?
"Yes."
You sighed yet again as you removed your hands from touching her shoulders, looking away while grumbling incoherent stuff.
"Let me just say I fell in love with that someone cause... Cause I just did." you spoke, dodging her question with the wrong answer.
She arched an eyebrow as the both of you continued to walk again, you explaining and describing the attributes your crush had as you tried your best not to go into the point of actually making her think you like her.
"...and she has a brother too." you continued as she listened intently, internally thinking about how many of your classmates have brothers.
"We also have some classes together, and I get to sit with her in some of them." you rambled on as she thought of who it might be.
She got suspicious to the point that she thought you were talking about her, but she thought about your other classmates and friends as well.
It couldn't be her, right?
Nevertheless, you never did mention anything more specific.
"I'm really fond of her now, and I really like hanging out with her. We do some weird shit together sometimes too." you grinned as she looked somewhere, not knowing about what to feel.
"Huh... Sounds like you're having so much fun with her..." she replied, looking in front.
Yuzuha felt a little off, almost as if she didn't want you to sound that happy with someone else. Is she jealous?
Whatever it is, she doesn't seem to know.
Both of you arrived at your doorstep, already smelling the delicious smell of food as well as some laughter that sounded like Hakkai's.
You opened the door for her as she went inside, not before taking off her shoes first.
You smiled at her as you closed the door while saying something that made her stop in her tracks, heat immediately rushing to her face.
"And I think her name is Shiba Yuzuha..."
