Chapter Text
Cyan blue hair gathered around her shoulders, bouncing slightly as she approached the area where Nakamura was standing, leaning against the wall, reading something out of a journal.
Reiko was sure that this time, maybe this time, he'd finally join her club.
Reiko Aokiyama was the president of the Occult Horror Club, and had been trying her best to convince Nakamura to join for, what, months now?
She didn't know the exact timeline, but what she did know, was that the second she had spotted Nakamura with his dark hair, long bangs, tiny pupils, and just overall mysterious appearance, she knew that he was perfect for the Occult Horror Club.
But...there were a few tiny problems...
One - Nakamura, for whatever fuckass reason did not want to join her club.
What the fuck!
Also, there was her rival asshole bitchy ugly face, Tamura.
Asshat was trying to convince Nakamura to join his shitty club, or, as the locals call it, tHe DrAmA cLuB.
Seriously though.
Who wants to join a drama club??
Not Nakamura, apparently, which was good.
She still had a chance to force-convince him to join her club.
And who knows?
Maybe, just maybe they'd become friends!
It's not like Reiko was secretly plotting how to become friends with Okuto Nakamura!
And it's not like she liked him anyways; she was a lesbian, had known since she was seven.
But, she did think he was cool.
Like, so much mystery and pizzaz!
So cool.
Which is why she was trying, once again, to get Nakamura to join her club.
"Nakamura~!"
Her voice was sweet with honey and singsong as she quickly approached where he was standing, and he immediately snapped his journal shut, leaning against the wall, looking ready to run, like she was going to kidnap him or something!
Nonsense.
Reiko would never do anything of the sorts.
"What do you want."
His voice was deep and icy cold, laced with mystery.
"I want you to join my club! Really, you're quite perfect for it."
He made a face, like he was wondering 'quite perfect? who even says that? what a weirdo' which was fine because Reiko had been called a weirdo multiple times before and could handle it!
Hahahahaha.
"I've already told you, Aokiyama-"
"Reiko."
"Reiko, I don't want to join your stupid club."
Stupid.
Wow.
That kinda hurt.
Owch.
"But, my dear, you're just perfect for it!"
"I don't care. Now, please leave me alone."
Reiko was about to turn around and leave before she noticed something...peculiar.
"Wait. Is that Kawamura's notebook?"
Reiko recognized the brand from that one time that she had requested Kawamura to draw some of the members in their club for their anniversary. And maybe sketch robe ideas. What could she say, Kawamura was a beast when it came to artistry.
Nakamura froze, and accidentally dropped the notebook. Thinking that maybe if she grew closer to him through kind gestures, and also because she was generally a good person, Reiko bent down to pick it up, and was about to give it to him when-
"Nakamura??"
Her eyes widened as she flipped through fanart of Nakamura and Hirose doing various things together; hanging out, being close friends, and even-
Nakamura snapped the notebook shut and drew it close to him, cheeks flushed bright red.
"I-Uh-"
Reiko quickly dragged Nakamura away to a more secluded area of campus, behind a bush, before whispering,
"Nakamura, do you have a crush on Hirose?"
Nakamura looked around wildly, exclaiming "No! What! Why would you think that?!!"
Reiko lightly slapped him across the face.
"Shut up, people are going to hear you! Anyway, tell me the truth."
Nakamura stood still for a moment, before mumbling,
"Well...maybe he's a little cute..."
Reiko squealed with delight.
"I can totally help you! Trust me, I've gone through the exact same thing before..."
Reiko thought about her ex, who had broken up with her for being too much...well, too fucking bad!
Nakamura raised an eyebrow.
"What's the catc-"
"Join my club."
"Ah shit, should've guessed that one."
Reiko merely shrugged.
"Deals a deal, my dude."
Nakamura seemed to be considering it for a second, before grumbling a small yea I guess under his breath.
Noticing that Tamura was in earshot, Reiko jokingly teased,
"A little louder, I can't hear you~"
Nakamura groaned before saying at earshot level, "I'll join..."
"Join what? Little louder!"
"Fine! I'll join your stupid Occult Horror Club!"
"Woohoo!"
Reiko quickly bounded away, celebrating, before quickly returning to tell him their schedule, saying that as long as he participated up to her standards, she'd help him out.
She had her ways.
;P
