7. INCARNATION PERFECTION
INCARNATION PERFECTION: ✧˖*°࿐
“Fancy meeting you here, Saiki!” Teruhashi beamed with a ray of sunlight, You might need to close your eyes for this one. Her aura was sparkling with hues of pink and light, covering the background scene behind her. Her golden aura was nothing short of blinding was to say. You were also probably amazed by her ability to appear out of nowhere.
But then again… You sweatdropped, ‘Not this…’
The last time you spoke to her was when she was almost talking her head off about something, somewhere inside the school. That was probably the most amount of human interaction you have received in your life, without you doing anything back to her, of course.
What you didn't realise is that you are easy to talk to. Anyone is easy to talk to if you just imagine them as someone ordinary.. the type of people who wouldn't judge you for your different humour and tend to stay away from bad people. People don't care who they are talking to at first. You had always been the replacement friend for people, until they found their main friend to hang out with, and just like that, you were stuck to being all alone again.
Eh, No wonder she wouldn't notice you, Your just a background character that happened to be noticed by the universe and put in the spotlight immediately. All this random action has you tired. You almost slipped her mind, But lady luck decided you should lose your peace of solidarity too.
Alas, your attempt at being discreet was suddenly shattered by her. As if your body inching away from the perfect girl wasn't obvious enough. Saiki shot you a sympathetic look as you failed to be away from her presence.
“Oh wow, Teruhashi!” Those two idiots somehow joined in their sentences, like they shared one brain cell.
You pondered why every person seemed to have that type of reaction towards her. (except for you and Saiki for obvious reasons). To suddenly stiffen, get flustered and say ‘oh wow!’ like they haven't seen her for months. But at the same time, it was fair. Why wouldn't anyone react like that to beauty personified?
“What are you boys up to?” asked Teruhashi.
“.. Well, Nendou said he knew of a good ramen shop, so he's taking us there now.”
Poor Kaidou, that's not how you talk to a woman with that pose. He genuinely looks like a frightened rabbit.
“Yeah, I mean we’re gonna take-” He suddenly fixes his speech, “eat like gentlemen.”
And Nendou looks stiff, straightening to his full height, I guess neuron activation is all people need to suddenly act smart.
“Oh, Ramen sounds good! Do you guys mind if I invite myself to tag along with you?” Teruhashi asks sincerely.
“Oops! I hope I'm not being overly pushy.”
“I-i don't have a problem with it! Do you have a problem with it!?”
Now this was just ridiculous, they were actively making fools of themselves, stuttering, teeth-chattering, probably boot-shaking as well. Have they never talked to a woman in their life? It was kind of comedic in a way where you would see two idiotic friends, a dumbass and an 8th grade syndrome friend being reduced to lovesick puppies upon seeing a pretty woman.
You just stared at her face, you know what she’s doing.. I guess? Nobody receives so many compliments and reactions like that if it hasn’t gotten to her head, but at least she isn’t openly an arrogant bastard; that's something you'll never be able to achieve if you look like her.
Upon her request to join us, Saiki looked at me with a hint of … something, but I can tell it's something we agree upon. Leaving Saiki’s random side-eye to my brain's interpretation.
Welp. Now you had to walk down the street with a cat-esque-shapeshifter introvert, aphrodite, dumbass and Gary Stu dude.
This whole friend group seems like a joke.
And you couldn’t get the feeling of people, especially mens’ gazes land upon your friend group, mainly Teruhashi Kokomi. Do they know how to mind their own business? You did feel slightly sick knowing that most of them thought Teruhashi was beautiful (she was, you didn't need to hear it out of a middle-aged man saying it out loud, though.) At least you hoped they meant it in a platonic way.
You were right beside Saiki and just behind Teruhashi. You didn't feel the need to start a conversation with him.. Considering your cat and he have very similar appearances, … and you may or may not have classified him as a world-class threat. (Little did you know, your description of him was very accurate.)
…And dude, who are you, Nendou?
Just as Saiki said in his mind, Nendou usually has a dumb or stupid look on his face that made strangers think he was a delinquent and people who do know him an airhead. Now he was talking like a distinguished gentleman to Teruhashi.
And Kaidou is even worse.
He still remains stuttering, flustered and jittery. I guess Teruhashi must’ve been used to this now, huh?
“Hey Kaidou, why do you always have those bandages on your hand?” Don't provoke him, Teruhashi,
you don't want to hear his monologue about the ‘Jet-black wings’ and the ‘Dark reunion’ after you happened to be his victim on some hero complex-esque speech.
“I-it's to keep my powers under wraps!” Poor chuunibyou.
“Powers? I'm afraid I don't quite understand.” You can see the question mark on her and Kaidou’s nervousness on his sleeve. He kept getting more flustered the longer she spoke into her sentence.
He suddenly unwrapped his bandages with some sort of excuse spouting off of him, come to think of it, you have never seen Kaidou's hands (and Kaidou) without his bandages, might as well enjoy this rare moment while it lasts.
Guess he suddenly just cured his hero complex, huh?
To you, getting this type of reaction from people, my own classmates and old men alike— probably mightve been very creepy.
But then again.. Teruhashi is used to getting these types of reactions all the time. I wouldn't have been unfazed like her.
