Chapter 1: Helping is never easy

Chapter Text

God... this guy is unbelievable and being so atractive only makes him more unbearable.

Sakuraba Seiya, the guy who won a 1v1 against me in basketball, is asking me for help on how to talk to girls? Just the thought alone seems ridiculous. A genius atlet, top of the class, handsome guy who has girls asking him out every recess, can't talk to girls without throwing up?! And I thought I had it hard, this guy is just in another level.

But still, I need to help him right?, a girl ask him out on a 'say Yes or I'll kill you' date... ugh, I really don't understand why he didn't say no to this girl, dispite of his fear of being hated he regected all the other girls before, I doubt she is the only one who ask him out with such aggressiveness, what does she have that makes her so special?

Whatever, it's not my problem who this guy wants to date, first I need to stop him from throwing up on top of his date.

(Even if the thought is really funny, maybe that way the girl will stop chasing Sakuraba)

Lati-chan and Katagiri are helping him with the 'talk to girls' part, well, more Katagiri than Lati-chan but... I'm starting to believe this guy is a lost cause, how can he think asking Katagiri what color her panties are is a good idea??? At this rate he won't be able to talk with how swollen his face is getting. Katagiri does not seem to be holding back with her slaps, and the expression in her face is making me shiver, I should be stoping this soon.

"K-Katagiri, that's enogh, I don't think this is really helping." -He can at least talk to girls but now the problem is the things he's saying, how can we make him have a normal conversation?.- "Ah, I know, why don't we try something different?" -I just hope this works.-

"Hump, sure, my hand was getting tired anyway." -She says it resigned while lowering her hand. She really wanted to keep slaping him? That's horrible.- "And? What is it you have in mind." -

Katagiri gets up from the chair in front of Sakuraba allowing me to sit there.

"Well, since he can't stop himself from saying inappropriate things to girls, the best is for him to talk to a boy, that way we can write wich questions he can make and then repit them to Katagiri." -I really hope this works, I can't think of any more ideas. Looking up to Sakurabas swollen face makes me a little nervous, I know this is not a real date or anyting but just the idea of it makes me feel anxious, this better work or it was all for nothing.-

"Master... thank you! I never would have thought of something like that, you're really incredible!" -He says it with a big smile and shiny eyes, ugh, how can he be so atractive with his face in such a state?-

"I have to admit it is a decent idea, what better way to talk to a girl than as if you were talking to a boy, instead of a chunck of meat for wich you drool over and dream of tearing apart in the most gruesome ways possible once you've gotten her trust." -Katagiri says that with a straight face, crossing her arms over her chest and nodding her head. Honestly, I don't understand how she can come up with all those kind of things, I hope she won't start another one of her monologs.-

"Umm, if that's what Makoto wants to do I don't see why not, seeing Makoto talk with one of his friends seems fun!." -Her smile and little thumbs up are very cute but I need to concentrate, Sakuraba needs all our help.-

(And in all honesty, more help than what we can give him.)

-Taking a deep breath I get ready.- "All right, Sakuraba-kun what was the first thing you need to do at the start of the date?." -I look him in the eyes waiting for his response, luckly being just me will help us make some progress in this part.-

"Ah! Right, ehh... Master your, erm, your hair looks really nice today?" -He says it with doubt in his voice givinig a cute shameful smile. The silence that follows is deafing, it surprise me he didn't say anything obscene at all. I sat still, watching him with my mouth open.- "... I'm sorry master, I will go jump out the window." -Sakuraba gets up from his chair and walks to the closest window.-

"EH!? No, no, wait!" -I get up as fast as I can and grab him by the arm, wow, you can feel the muscle through the uniform, no, stop Makoto, this is important.- "What you said was fine! it just surprise me, truth is, I didn't have any hope you could come up with a compliment at all." -I say this with amusement in my voice, it's true, for what I know of him I'm surprise he didn't do something to humiliate himself, yet.-

"How cruel!, aren't you supposed to help me?!" -Sakuraba turns around, grabs my arms and starts shaking me.- "How do you plan on helping me if you don't believe in me?!" -He seems on the verge of tears.-

"I'm... I'm sorry Sakuraba-kun, it wasn't my intention to bother you." -I say this while looking in his eyes and taking his bigger hands in mine." (He could probably lift me up with one arm if he wanted.) "Don't worry, together we'll help you on how to talk to girls, even if it takes all evening, okey?" -I squeeze his hands in what I hope is a reassuring gesture and smile, despite everything I thougth I decided to help Sakuraba and that's what I was going to do.-

Sakuraba looked me in the eyes for a moment and give me one of his dashing smiles before saying.- "Master... thank you."

I can't stop feeling the same nervousness of before, being so close to him makes me so nervous. I look away and drop his hands.- "Yeah well, come on, lets go sit down so we can end this fast." -As I sit I watch him come with a silly smile on his stupidly handsome face, it still annoys me.-

"Now that you two are done, why don't we continue." -Katagiri says watching us with a lift brow, ah, I completly forgot the girls were still there.-

"Ye-yeah lets continue." -I look at her and go back to watching Sakuraba in front of me.-

"All right, the next question would be about what your date likes." -Katagiri says looking firmly at Sakuraba, wich put a hand on his chin and frown, sudently he snap his fingers and smiled.-

"I know!, what's your favourite hobbie, what's your favourite animal, do you have a favourite sport, favourite food, what's your fav-."

"Stop!, please make one question at a time, how do you expect me to respond all those questions!?." -This man is unbelievable, with him is one step forward and three steps back!- "Try again, your questions are good but it is imposible to understand if you say them all at once."

"S-sorry master, what's your favourite sport?, I know you were in the basketball team." -Sakuraba asks once he's decided.-

And that's how we spend the evening, between questions, answers, punches and small progress, at the end of the day Sakuraba manage to make two good questions without saying something inappropriate. It's been hours since the girls left while Sakuraba and I stay behind.

"Ahh, despite all our efforts we haven't make any progress at all! At this rate your date for tomorrow will be a complete disaster." -I say while I get up and gather my things, it's time to go home. Even with my annoyance with having to help the other boy with his date, I feel bad we couldn't help him, I ran out of time and ideas.-

"Mmm, well I have an idea." Sakuraba says walking next to me, I look up to his face, uh, I should get something for his face, all that swelling does not look comfortable, plus all he threw up. It probably isn't healty, what am I saying?, it isn't healty at all! Sakuraba turns around and looks at me.- "Master could we meet tomorrow in the park next to the school?."

"Uh? Oh yeah, sure." -What a weird ask, maybe he wants to go over what we did today before his date or something. I stop in front of a vending machine, perfect.- "Sakuraba-kun take this, for your face." I tell him while I pass him the cold tea can I just bought. "All those slaps looked really painful, please take care of them once you get home ok?." -Looking up to his face I watch him open his eyes in surprise, is it so weird for him to recive a kind gesture? That's sad. Our fingers brush when he takes the can and I can feel the same nervousness again, ahh! Why me? Why can't I have peace?.-

"Yeah..." -He keeps looking at the can like it holds the biggest mistery in the world, wich is stupid since it's just a can, before I could say something Sakuraba gives me another one of his dashing smiles and presses the can to his face.- "Thank you master! You really are amazing!." -He says it with so much emotion I'm surprise he doesn't start vibrating.-

"Yeah, yeah, whatever, good night Sakuraba-kun." -I say while turning around and walking home.-

"Good night master! See you tomorrow!" -I hear Sakuraba say goodbye in the distance.-

Once alone I can't stop thinking the way Sakuraba's eyes shine in the light or the way he smiles or how I can still feel his fingers against mine or how he- ugh!, I can feel the way my face heats up in what I know is an obvious blush, I press my hands on my face and try to calm down. What kind of feeling is this?, I've never feelt this way, it doesn't feel like lust or the annoyance from before, why do I suddenly feel so nervous with the idea of being close to Sakuraba? Why can't I stop thinking of how good he looks? What a drag, I don't have time for this, I need to get home, once at home I can search on the internet what's happenig to me, you can find everything on the internet.

I shake my head and keep on walking, I'll find my answers later.
