Chapter Text
Kaoruko and Subaru were sitting chatting on one of the benches in Kikyo's premises, "Subaru, how did your study sessions with Natsusawa-Kun go ?" Kaoruko asked, executing the plan she had made with Rintaro. "It went ... Great, we got to improve on our mistakes and practice a bit, I think if we would ever get time to do it again, I would like it", Subaru answered with the same expression which she usually have on her face, "So you enjoy spending time with Natsusawa-Kun?". Kaoruko asked with a little smirk forming on her face, "W-What you have gotten it all wrong there I-I didn't mean it like that" Subaru replied blushing a bit. Kaoruko giggled a bit "Omg you're looking so cute", "S-Shut u-up", Subaru replied turning a face away a bit. Kaoruko stopped giggling after a few seconds and said, "Subaru, do you like Natsusawa-Kun ?", curiosity present in her voice, "Yes but ... I am not sure if that's what I truly feel about him, I will need some time" Subaru replied sounding a bit nervous. "It's fine Subaru you can take all the time you need, if you need someone to talk to about this you can always talk to me" Kaoruko said placing her hand on Subaru's, "Thanks, Kaoruko" Subaru replied beaming at her, Kaoruko smiled back at her.
Rintaro and Saku were near the vending machine drinking their drinks while Ayato and Shohei were playing baseball with their respective teams, "Hey, Saku how did you study session with Hoshina-San go ?", "That went ... Great", after talking about the study sessions for a while Rintaro realised that the way with which Saku talked about Hoshina-San confirmed that he liked her, the smile that appeared on his whenever he said something about Hoshina-San and how much he admires her was another proof that he felt something special about Subaru, after a while of talking Rintaro decided that it was time to execute his part of the plan, "You like Hoshina-San don't you ?", Rintaro asked smirking at Saku, "W-What where did you get that from ?", Saku started turning a bit red. "Don't worry, Saku i will not tell anyone" Rintaro said sincerity present in his voice, "I know that you will not tell anyone Rintaro, I trust you it's just I know that it is true but I don't wanna admit it", Saku said sighing, "And why is that ?" Rintaro asked, "You see, I don't want to burden her with something like this and since her exams are coming as well I don't think I should distract her", "That is true but how long are you gonna feel this burden on yourself and regret not telling her, she has time before her exams comes". After talking for a while on this topic both of them decided to talk about this topic later.
