TSUKASA’S POV
I walked inside the school building and stretched. Urgh, I’m so tired. I barely got any sleep due to the storm…
I put my umbrella down and looked out the window. It was lightly raining, nothing too concerning, but I was worried for later when I had to walk back home. As I stared outside, I heard a voice next to me, causing me to jump.
“ You look tired as hell. “
“ HUH?! Oh, Akito, it’s just you!…And yea, I’ll admit, I am pretty tired. You too, though. “
He rubbed his eyes and sighed. “ Yea, I know. Barely got any sleep last night cuz of the thunder and my sister screaming all night. “
“ Your sister usually stays up all night, right? That must be pretty tiring… “
He scoffed dramatically and yawned. “ Yea, tell me about it. “
He opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by another voice yelling to us from the school entrance. “ Hey, Lil’ Bro, Tsukasa! “
Oh, it was Mizuki!
“ HI MIZUKI!!! “
“ Hey. “
They went silent and squinted. “ You two look like you barely got any sleep, what’s up with that? “
Akito groaned softly, and Mizuki tilted their head. “ Cuz of you and Ena, I heard her yelling from her room while I was trying to sleep. Honestly, how do you have so much energy right now? Ever since you got with Ena, she’s been yelling so much more…“
Mizuki laughed loudly and placed a hand on their chest. “ That’s a secret!…But for real, how do YOU look so down in the dumps? It’s almost White Day too, you both should be so excited right now!!! “
…
White Day?!
Akito seemed to also have forgotten about White Day, as he gritted his teeth and cursed nonstop.
Mizuki’s eyes widened as their jaw dramatically dropped. “ Eh?! Don’t tell me you two forgot about White Day! That’s like, one of the best parts of the year!!! “
“ Uh, well, you know how VBS is, so much practices and stuff- “
Mizuki placed a grim hand on Akito’s shoulder.
“ Hey, what’s with the sudden drama?! Seriously, there’s still like, what, a week?! “
They sighed, and looked up at me and Akito. “ You two don’t understand. Akito, I know you wanna confess to Toya, and Tsukasa, I know you wanna confess to Rui!! “
I felt myself heating up as all words left my mind. “ EH?! Well, I, uh… “
Akito was glaring at Mizuki, seemingly also at a loss for words.
“ Haha, see? I knew it! “
They giggled profoundly, seemingly proud at their “ detective “ work…
Akito put a hand on his head. “ Well, yea, I won’t deny it. But it’s not like he’d even return my fe- “
Mizuki waved a finger at Akito. “ Nuh uh uh! I know for a fact he likes you back! And Tsukasa, Rui’s not even trying to hide his feelings for you! “
Wait, what?!…
I felt myself quickly heating up yet again, and Mizuki just laughed. “ Wait, but…Do you guys know how you’re gonna do it? “
Me and Akito exchanged glances then shook our heads.
“ Well, don’t fear! I, Mizuki Akiyama, will assist you both in your journey to love! “
Akito scoffed but didn’t protest. “ Whatever, you’re the one in a relationship anyways. But how are we supposed to get something prepared in a week? “
Mizuki laughed loudly again, this time attracting the attention of some other people nearby. “ What did I tell you? I have this all planned! “
Well, if I’m going through with this, I really hope so..
