Rin’s life was over now, maybe he will really become emo.
“Are you serious, he’s dressed like that again?” The red hair boy snickered at the sight of Rin’s new outfit.
“No, I think it’s worse this time.” Reo sighed, he had a feeling something was going to happen with this ‘new’ Rin Itoshi.
Not even a second later, they looked over to Rin’s seat and caught him singing to himself.
“But, I’ll be okay, is that what you want me to say? It’s called breakup, cause it’s broken, I’ll be okay…” Rin’s head was down staring at his desk, his hair styled so it covered both eyes this time.
“Oh my god I cannot believe this guy is singing ‘The Last Something That Meant Anything’ by Mayday Parade, released in 2006, THAT IS HILARIOUS.”
“…”
“Reo, how do you know that song, even the release date too?” Nagi probably could’ve already guessed the answer but still asked anyway.
Chigiri snorted. “Reo also experienced what Rin is going through right now. As a matter of fact, it was even worse. You could hear their songs being blasted from his room even while walking on the sidewalk.”
“My Mayday Parade phase lasted ONLY 2 days.” Reo said, trying to defend himself.
(Not surprisingly) It was a lie, he still has their songs on his playlist.
“2 days is still 2 days.”
Well, I guess he at least knows that they haven’t caught on.
“Oh, also I have great news.” Chigiri suddenly changed the topic.
“Kaiser revived our plan to set up Rin and Isagi!”
“WAIT WHAT, HOW?” Reo shouted and stood up from his seat almost instantly, creating a huge scene. After realizing what he’d done, he slowly sat back down in his seat while looking around awkwardly.
“No buy seriously, how’d he do it?” Reo lowered his voice, cautious about what he did before.
“He got Rin’s phone number, he never told me how though.”
Kaiser was the man, always coming in clutch. Now, they could finally speak to Rin without worrying about their necks getting snapped.
“Tell him to make a group chat with Rin.”
“Already did, he said he would do it after school.”
Getting Rin’s number was not planned, but hey it gave them a second shot.
4:42 Pm.

[Kaiser changed the group chat name to “Helping Isagi’s Genius Simp”]
Rin:
What is this? And what is a simp?
Kunigami:
Nothing you need to be concerned about
Kaiser:
Its for all the people who want to help set you up with Isagi
Rin:
It’s “It’s”, not “Its”. “It’s” is a contraction of it is. You used “Its” which is a term used to display the possessive form of the pronoun it. In your sentence, “It’s” would be correct since you would be saying “It is for all the people who want to help set you up with Isagi”. You used “Its” which does not make sense. Also, I already told you guys I don’t need any help.
Chigiri:
Ok grammar police, damn
Kaiser:
Isagi literally blocked you yesterday, what do you mean you don’t need help
Bachira:
Lmaooo at this rate Rin is never gonna get a taste of that Isagi bussy
Nagi:
.x.
Reo:
HEY NAGI!!!
Kunigami:
@Rin if you’re still curious of what a simp is, it’s basically anyone who acts like Reo
Reo:
Are you serious-
Rin:
I get it now
Reo:
Rlly.
Rin:
Who here is the so called “Isagi Simp” mentioned in the group chat name? I’ll kill them.
Bachira:
LOL no way
Nagi:
Guess he’s going to kill himself then
Rin:
What?
[Kaiser the Rizzler]
Rin, I have something for you
It’s a video that should at least prepare you if you decide to do one of those dumb confessions again
I would’ve taught you myself but I have an essay to finish
[Kaiser the Rizzler sent one link]
Rin didn’t respond...
Though Kaiser was a lukewarm piece of shit, he had a new girlfriend every week. Rin didn’t know if that was a good sign or a bad sign, but he decided to trust him, just this once, plus he was really desperate too. Rin said ‘fuck it’ then ended up watching the full 40 minute video.
“…”
What the fuck, it was that easy? He didn’t understand anything the guy said, but as long as it works right?
[Kaiser the Rizzler]
Give me Isagi’s address, now.
What for?
Actually I won’t question it
###############
10 minutes later, Kaiser went to go screenshot Rin’s text to show the group. But right as he reviewed their texts, oh shit…, that was not the right link. As a matter of fact, it was pornhub video he had been watching before. OH GOD ANYTHING BUT THAT.
[The hopeless asshole]
YO
RIN
DO NOT WATCH THAT
RIN?
[Rin’s notifications are silenced]
Ah, fuck. Kaiser knew he was tired, but he didn’t know it would cause him to fuck up this badly.
[Isagi Yoichi]
Sorry, Isagi
???
What happened Kaiser?
Isagi suddenly got a bad feeling…
Rin was walking towards Isagi’s apartment. The place wasn’t too far from his house, it would probably just take 15 minutes to walk there. With the 15 minutes he had, he figured it would be smart to practice his confession… out loud… for the entire walk… earning him not just a few, but a LOT of weird stares. But who could blame them? Rin was saying something people usually.. just don’t say.
He had arrived at his destination, Isagi’s apartment, a tall, cream colored building, with a huge grass yard in the front. Room 306, he reminded himself, he had to find room 306. He took the stairs to the 3rd floor, then searched every door until there, on his right read ‘306’ in a bold black font on the door.
Here goes nothing… Rin made 3 loud knocks on Isagi’s door and waited for a response from Isagi. Rin started fiddling with his fingers and rocked himself back and fourth on his feet. This might be the first time Rin has ever actually been nervous for something, he wasn’t even like this when his football team was 2-5 in the finals with only 4 minutes to spare (if anyone is curious, yes they still won).
And for what felt like an eternity (but was actually just 2 minutes) he then faintly heard a voice saying ‘I’ll be right there!’ Not soon after, Isagi opened the door for his surprise guest, and suddenly Isagi’s bright smile shifted to a frown almost instantly.
“Rin? What are you doing here?”
“To talk to you.”
“For wha- actually, never mind, I already know. Wait but how did you get my address?”
“I don’t know.”
“First it’s my phone number and now it’s my address? What do you mean you don’t know?”
“Well, I just wanted to tal-“
Isagi slammed the door on Rin’s face. The door made a loud ‘BANG’ against Rin’s nose. Ah, he got a nosebleed.
Isagi opened the door back up just as fast as he had slammed it.
“Ah, I’m so sorry are you okay? I didn’t mean for it to hit that hard.” Isagi cupped Rin’s face with his left hand (isagi is just way too sweet), and then examined the bloody nose he had caused.
[Critical hit to Rin’s heart! 100% Damage Dealt!]
The amount of blood pouring from Rin’s nose dramatically increased, and Isagi’s worry followed with it.
Oh how Rin wished this moment could have just lasted forever, but sadly, it wouldn’t.
“I’m fine.”
Isagi took one last look at the bloody nose then said,
“Okay then, bye.”
Isagi slammed the door shut again. Sadly, Rin didn’t get hit by the door this time so Isagi didn’t have a reason to come back to open the door… well until Rin came up with something.
“Are you really going to leave me out here? You haven’t even treated my bloody nose, even though you caused it.” Rin fake sniffled at the end, to try to guilt trip the boy into opening the door once again. Well, even if it was supposed to be guilt tripping, most of it made sense.
Bingo. The sound of Isagi’s footsteps had suddenly came to a stop.
Rin smiled and praised himself for coming up with the idea on the spot. He waited, and tried to listen for any sign of Isagi walking back to the door.
He waited…
And waited…
And waited until he realized Isagi actually wasn’t coming back. Damn, did he mishear the steps coming to a stop? He was sure that his idea worked too.
Though it was sad to accept, he eventually accepted his fate. He started doing the walk of shame back to the staircase. What was this, the 3rd time he has ended up this way because of Isagi? After making it halfway down the hallway, he hears a ‘click’ like a door unlocking. Rin turned his head so fast, ‘Isagi, my baby! I knew you’d come back for m-‘ never mind it was just an old man, another resident of the apartment. The false hope ended up adding to Rin’s disappointment.
Rin is at the stair case now, he was about to open the door until he heard another ‘click’. Rin didn’t even bother to look back, it was probably just another old ha-
“Rin.” A voice called out from behind.
It was Isagi this time… Rin started full speed SPRINTING back to Isagi’s door.
“Yes?”
“Come in.. I’ll help you put in tissues.” Isagi looked very disappointed, but Rin’s mood couldn’t be further than that. I mean, Isagi literally just offered to help him with his.. uh.. actually even if it’s just a bloody nose, Rin is still grateful.
“Go sit on the couch, and do NOT get blood on it.” Isagi then walked away to go get tissues.
Rin looked around Isagi’s apartment while Isagi was gone. Rin didn’t expect it, but Isagi’s place was a total mess. There were multiple random textbooks on the floor, a stack of dishes in the sink, and a few hoodies just laying on the couch. There was even a wall dedicated to his child art projects…actually, that’s really cute.
He heard steps coming back so he went back to sit on the couch.
“Alright here.” Isagi shoved a folded piece of tissue into Rin’s nose.
“Take this then get out.” Isagi demanded, forcing an extra tissue into Rin’s hand, then pointing to the exit door right after.
Isagi’s tone made it seem like there would be no negotiations, but then again, it was Isagi we were talking about, one of the biggest pushovers of the century. Rin couldn’t just leave like this anyway, he decided to give it one more try.
[Confession, Action!]
“Isagi, I told you I need to talk to you.” He grabbed Isagi’s right hand, and brought it to his chest. ‘Just like the video’, Rin thought. Afterwards, Rin strengthened his gaze with Isagi, and shifted his subtle smile into a more serious look.
Oh, uh, Isagi has never seen Rin like this, he had to admit, Rin was totally acting like one of those boys from those, uh, kdramas was it? It even made Isagi’s face turn a bit red. Isagi thought maybe, just maybe, that he should hear Rin out this time, instead of just running away like normal. He gulped, sort of worried about what Rin was going to say next, though he could probably guess it was another confession. The only difference is that this time, it seemed more sincere in a way, Isagi couldn’t describe it, but it was just the look Rin was giving. After 10 more seconds of thinking, Isagi finally made up a decision.
“…make it quick.” Isagi and Rin still had their eyes locked on each other’s. Isagi couldn’t look away from Rin’s gaze, as it has engulfed him entirely. 40 whole seconds of no talking, just staring.
Rin took a deep breath.
“Isagi.”
Oh that tone did not sound good, maybe Isagi misread the situation? God, what if it’s Rin’s revenge from the other times Isagi has turned him down? Rin you already have almost everything, so please spare-
“Let’s become fuck buddies.”
Phew, Isagi thought he was going to get assaulted or somethin-
…wait wait. What did he just say?
“We’ve know each other for a long time and now…”
‘Hey wait’, Isagi thought, ‘Rin please shut up, I’m still processing the first line.’
Did he really say what Isagi thought he said?
“… and you’re the only one I think I can trust to do this. So please, think about it.”
Rin finished. The lines were the same as in the video except for the girl’s name being swapped out for Isagi’s.
..The confession didn’t seem to have the effect on Isagi as it did on the girl. Shouldn’t this be the time where Isagi starts to blush uncontrollably then drag them into bed? In fact, Rin thinks it had the opposite effect, backing this up was the awfully disgusted look Isagi shot up at Rin.
Rin doesn’t even know what he did. This Kaiser guy probably knew what he did though. He probably did this on purpose, to set him up.
Isagi didn’t move from his spot, nor did he say anything, he just kept looking up at Rin, disgustedly. From how things were looking, Rin just decided it was probably best to just see himself out.
…He’s going to kill Kaiser.
Rin (sadly) walked back to his house. He should’ve known the video was too good to be true. Man, he just wanted some Isagi bussy.
