Chapter Text
It was only a few hours later, and now he was home from school, Hirose was thinking about messing up a simple yes or no interactive from class.. Again. For the umpteenth time today he was trying to figure out if that was as bad as he had thought it to be, and how he can tell Nakamura the note was his and he did like Nakamura!
~“Somebody confessed to him! Was it you Hirose-kun?”~
“Yes! It was me I confessed to Nakamura of course it was meeeeee!!!!!” Hirose whined, rolling around on his bed in despair until he fell off.. He kept whining but stopped rollin’.
“I could’ve just said yes! Why didn’t I?! I wrote the note! And bought the flowers!’ Hirose complained “I need to try again- I have to! This time I’ll confess to him directly! Uh- no notes!” Hirose shot up, he went to his desk again and grabbed the same supplies he had used the day prior
“Okay, I should tell him to meet me somewhere.. Uh.. maybe the rooftop? That’s basic.. Maybe an aquarium! He’d like that right? Ah but I dont have enough money to get the both of us in.. Uh- uhhhhh -uuhhhhhh I’ll just go with the rooftop..” Hirose mumbled, groaning as he settled on his “basic” answer, he picked up his pencil and started writing again
Nakamura, sorry i forgot to sign my note, but it would be better if I maek make it up in person.
Meet me at the school rooftop after school please.
Love
Signed H
Hirose stared at it, it wasn’t the best.. Not even close.. But his words work better out of his mouth anyways so it’s fine! We ignore the bits he had to cross out because his eraser sucks, it’s the thought that counts!!
Bbzt bzzt
Hirose’s phone buzzed, he picked it up, Oomori..! He forgot to respond the last time Oomori texted so he’d better respond this time!
O: just checking innn, you’ve seemed pretty off lately, something going on?
H: Uhhhhhh yes? Kinda mabye no
H: I have a crush again and its killing me
O: Ohhhh makes sense. Who is it?
Hirose stared at that text for a minute.. Oomori would understand right?
H: Cant tell
H: its a secret
H: but i have it figured out so dw im confessing tomorrow
H: Tomorrow*
O: aww cmon tell me!!1! Ive known you since elementary school and youve told me about all your crushes!
H: hhhhh cant, dont wanna
O: Please? I’ll uh
O: We can meet for lunch and ill pay if you tell me
H: Where
I mean, food is food, and Hirose Aiki is not one to deny a free meal!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Thanks for the food!” Hirose beamed as his takoyaki was handed to him from the street vender Oomori brought him to, Oomori got his as well and the two started to walk
“Sooo.. who do you like?” Oomori asked, Hirose had just taken a bit of his food just to almost choke on it, he coughed and swallowed his bite “Uh- uh- I was supposed to tell you that?”, “Yeah! That’s the whole reason I paid for your takoyaki in the first place!” Oomori said, more so in a teaing manner.
“Uhh nobody just ᴺᵃᵏᵃᵐᵘʳᵃ”
“Who??” Oomori asked, Hirose then basically screamed “NAKAMURA! I like Nakamura..” Hirose admitted, looking away now. Oomori just stood there for a moment
“Okay.. that’s- nice, are you gay? -I’m not asking in like a mean way! Just curious because I know you’ve only had girlfriends and liked girls-” “No- well, I’m bisexual, so I like girls still- but I can like boys- I do! I like one- I like Nakamura” Hirose explained, his nerves trying to implode, but relief starting to take over as Oomori didn’t seem disgusted. “So- you’re okay with it..?” “Well yeah- I don’t care too much about who you date as long as you’re happy, I mean I’m still friends with you all the way since elementary school!” Oomori said, then was quickly hugged by Hirose “Thank you.. And this takoyaki is really good..” Hirose mumbled “Be careful not to drop it- this takoyaki isn’t good for 1600 yen just for my plate!” Oomori said, putting one hand on Hirose’s back and trying not to let his food drop from the other
The hug soon ended and Hirose took another bite of takoyaki, Oomori did so too “Are you gonna tell ‘im?” He asked with a mouthful of takoyaki
“Yeah! Tomorrow actually, I’m planning to tell him after school” Hirose said excitedly, his mouth equally takoyaki-filled.
“Do you know what your gonna say? How to tell him?” Oomori asked
OH- He forgot that part.. “Uhmm.. not really, I was thinking I could just say stuff and it would sound right?” Hirose smiled awkwardly, Oomori sighed
“Really? What your gonna say something like “Oh hey Nakamura, I have a crush on you even if you’re probably not gay” and end it at that?” Fair.. Hirose thought for a moment
“I can make something, I don’t wanna have a whole damn speech though! What am I supposed to say really?” Hirose groaned, taking a frustrated bite of takoyaki
“Have you not confessed before?”, “No, every girl I dated confessed to me! I have no clue how to do it myself” He admitted “I can write though! I wrote two notes, one I did actually confess in! I just forget to put anything on it that told him it was me..”
“Of course you did.. I say you try writing again, just like you did on that note- just add more!” Oomori suggested, Hirose nodding as he listened, his demeanor shifting as you could practically see a light bulb brighten over his head
“That’s a good idea! I’ll go do that, thanks Oomori!” Hirose said excitedly, shoving a few more takoyaki balls into his mouth and starting off home
“Wait- I meant later! Fine, good luck!” Oomori called after him, soon giving up.
