what happens when a girl is a little too down bad for her childhood crush? all she has to do is fake date to get his attention! it’s not like she will end up catching real feelings.. right?
I stayed up all night hoping for a text from Maki just to get a chance to speak to her again but all my messages have been left on delivered since yesterday afternoon and now I'm late to class again
I slide the classroom door open to walk into class offering a small apology to professor Kusakabe. He doesn't look up from his laptop to acknowledge me, “Just take a seat Okkotsu,”
The class seems full even though there are a few students in this course, my eyes land on supposed best friends Panda and Toge. I hear them snickering to themselves as I make my way over to their table
“Your queen kept you up last night?” Panda asks in a teasing tone
“Yes- no- well-” I groan into my hands, already feeling a migraine from the lack of sleep coming in. “I really don't know what to do, I mean like- she likes me, I like her, what's more to it? Why is this so complicated?”Â
“You should probably let it go Yuta, at this point maybe shes just not that into you man,” Panda pats my back but I feel anything but better
“Wow thanks for the reassurance, I really needed that,”Â
“Dude im just saying, she likes you but she doesn't want to date? Who doesn't want to date the amazing Yuta Okkotsu” Panda leans back in his chair and takes a good look at my face. “You look like shit”
Okay MAYBE there is some truth to that statement, I haven't been sleeping well, eating well, hell- I haven't been FEELING well. I barely take care of myself these days
“You need to get laid man,” Inumaki grumbles under his breath, voice low and raspy from the lack of talking
I cock my eyebrow at Toge “We’re both virgins,”
“I’m celibate by choice,” Inumaki shrugs, going back to his computer editing his photos.
“You need to get your mind off of-”
“OKKOTSU, PANDA, INUMAKI.” Professor Kusakabe shouts from his own desk looking over at us. “Are you guys going to keep talking about sex or are you going to have to leave my classroom?” I feel heat rising to my face when i feel eyes on me from a few students and scrambled to give out an apology, getting called out talking about... sex in front of my entire class was not making my day any better
“Go sit over with YN before you get us into more trouble.” Panda mutters under his breath going back to his laptop.
“Who?” I ask rubbing the back on my neck. I don't really talk to the people in this class let alone anyone but the name does sound familiar. Toge shoots me a deadpan stare and points up to the top of tiered desks with his finger.
I look up to where he's pointing and see a girl with H/C hair and tired eyes mirroring mine grumbling to herself making a mess of papers and film lost in her own world . I hope she didn't hear professor Kusakabe yelling at me
I gulp and look back and my friends who only offer me a thumbs up “Good luck man.” Panda pats my back before I depart and make my way up the stairs.
 I slowly walk up next to her and she's too busy rearranging film sheets and papers to notice I'm right next to her.
I can smell the faint whiff of lavender and coffee off her, and her hair in a small messy ponytail leaving some strands out in the front. It would be a lie if i didnt think she was... pretty. but unfortunately for me I’ve fallen for a beautiful nonchalant woman who barely has time for me. I shake my head hoping to forget about her and focus on frantic girl infront of me and clear my throat
“H-hi.. can i sit with you..?”
She snaps out of her thoughts and looks at me with wide eyes, her E/C orbs staring into mine
“Oh! Y-yeah! I’m so sorry this project has been so stressful for me,” She scrambles to get all her papers and photos off the desk to make space for me. “H-here sit!” She offers me a small bashful smile
“What's your name?” She asks while scooting over her chair to make more space for me
I take my seat and offer her a small smile back. “I'm Okkotsu, Okkotsu Yuta,”
She snaps her head back at me “Like.. Inumaki's best friend Okkotsu?”
“Um well yeah- How do you know?” I ask scratching the side of my face,
“My best friend Yuji is friends with Inumaki and mentioned you in passing..” She lets out an awkward giggle, I can see the light pink creeping up on her round cheeks, it's a little cute..
“Oh! you know Yuji! He's a cool kid, I'm guessing you know my other friends Toge and Panda then?” I ask while taking out my own laptop, I really should start working on my project
“U-um.. Well I know Panda” Her voice drifts off looking down at where my friends are sitting. “Inumaki.. I doubt he even knows I exist..”
“I wouldn't be so sure about that” I open my laptop and cringe when I see my barely edited photos oh I am SO dead. “He told me to go with you, honestly I thought you guys were friends, he's mentioned your name a couple of times, I'm glad I can finally meet the face,” I glanced over to her and offered a reassuring smile. “YN..”
“LN YN,” she turns her head and returns a soft smile back to me. “I'm glad I got to meet you too Okkotsu, maybe we can help each other out this semester? I would ask Panda but he’s really bad at explaining..” she lets out a small chuckle
“Yeah he’s basically a prodigy when it comes to photography, but not the best teacher out there. I don’t know as much but I’d love to help you whenever you need it!” I tap my finger a few times on the cold desk in thought and pull out my phone handing it in her direction. “Here give me your number, that why we can meet up and study together! two minds are better than one,”
I fail to notice her cheeks flush at my advance when she slowly grabs my phone from my hand, lightly brushing out fingertips together. I look down at my friends who are already at me, Panda giving me the eyebrows
“Damn he's already getting her number, maybe I underestimated his rizz skills.” Panda says looking up at both of his friends from the bottom of the tiered seats. They're both giggling and seemingly getting along well
Inumaki says nothing while staring blankly at his best friend talking to the girl, paying no attention to the small ache in his chest
AN; how do we feel about a toge and yuta love triangle arc..
