"Remind me why we're doing this again?" You trudged next to Oba, hands shoved into your pockets to combat the slightly chilly weather.
"So that I can go talk to Takako," your friend deadpanned, linking her arm through yours.
"And obviously that involves me, and you just had to do this when practice is starting for the baseball team?" you sighed, already resigning yourself to your fate.
"You know it!" Oba chirped, and you smiled to yourself at your friend's antics.
"Aww, babe," Oba pretended to swoon, and you giggled as the two of you approached the dugout. It was better than succumbing to the erratic rhythm of your heartbeat, anyway.
It was an in and out job. Oba would talk to Takako, most likely about the party, and you would then join in for a few minutes before you and Oba left with no extra trouble. Then again, life had a knack for not turning out the way you envisioned it to.
"Miyuki-senpai!" An incredibly loud voice reached your ears, and you looked over to the field to see a boy with brown hair waving at the team's catcher while pointing in your direction."Some of your fanclub are here to see you!" Oh, no way. You were weighing up the pros and cons of throttling that first-year, but Oba had now struck up her conversation with Takako with your arm still firmly linked with hers. Your plans would have to wait.
You rolled your eyes as you saw Miyuki lift his head, a sly smile spreading across his face as he saw you. He wasn't close enough to properly make out his facial features, but knowing him, that's probably what he was doing right now. He raised his hand in a small wave, managing to make it irritating in his own signature way, and you responded with a less friendly gesture from your own hand. It didn't phase the catcher in the slightest, as he just laughed before continuing to warm up.
Never in a million years, you thought to yourself.
"I thought you weren't a fan of baseball, butterfingers." A teasing voice from behind you had you whipping around, seeing the amused face of none other than Kominato Ryosuke. Oba- ever the observant one- had let go of your arm by now, and with a knowing look sent your way from both her and Takako you found yourself being left alone with the pink-haired boy. The timing of everything almost made you laugh. Sure, you were to expect at least a little awkwardness when you appeared in a place where all people on your kiss list could be found at the same time, but it's not like you were advertising your intentions for the upcoming months to them.
"Oh, you know. I like to watch it sometimes." You smiled at Ryosuke, who snickered at your comment.
"Sure, kiddo." Your cheeks turned pink, and you gave your senior a glare.
"That's worse than butterfingers." Ryosuke only laughed, again, before raising a hand to ruffle your hair and make his way to the pitch, effectively leaving you a flushed mess.
"You know, you're quite ballsy for trying to kiss guys who are all on the same baseball team." You almost jumped as you heard Oba's voice from beside you. She hooked her arm through yours, guiding you back to the dorms. You glanced back at the pitch, eyes flitting between the other members of the team who made an appearance on your list.
There was Chris, sat on the bleachers with a serious expression on his face and a notebook open on his lap. Back on the field, you could see Kuramochi and Isashiki stood around the same loud first year from earlier. The latter was yelling at the first-year, and you could hear Kuramochi's distinct laugh above everyone else, the sound making you smile fondly. He really had changed since middle school.
Then your eyes focused on a third figure wearing his iconic thick-framed glasses, and you wrinkled your nose before turning away from the field one final time.
"It's not like they know that there's a piece of paper with all of their names on it."
"Just be careful, alright?" you nodded, feeling touched from your friend's concern.
"And don't forget, the party's this Saturday."
