Matsukawa Issei
He went to his last class early and was surprised to see you were already there, sitting in your usual chair
This was a first, usually he would be the first to arrived in the classroom and you would arrived after him with snacks in your arms
“I need snacks to survive this long day, you’re welcome to have some.” You’d say to him and you were absolutely right
You and your snacks made him get through the day without a pounding head and a growling stomach as he went home
You were working diligently on something while occasionally popping a cheese-flavored popcorn onto your mouth
He assumed you were working on your assignments in advance for subjects he didn’t have as it was your routine
He clears his throat, catching your attention and making you looked at his direction as he greeted you with a small smile
You were practically beaming, eyes lighting up at the sight of him as you greeted him back cheerfully, seemingly in a good mood
He took his usual seat beside you and you immediately laid your head on his shoulder, sighing in content
He didn’t mind your gesture if it weren’t for the pounding on his heart but he was surprised you hadn’t noticed it yet
To him, you were so out of his league – so kind, so generous, so everything of his ideal type and pretty to look in the eyes too
The way that you two wordlessly and unconsciously leaned in for each other’s touch – absolutely no highs
Just the comfortable silence of enjoying one another’s presences that he longs in relationships
This feeling scared him – terrified him, even. Since he never felt anything like this for anyone before
Little did he know, it was your way of conveying to him with your love language and that the feeling is mutual
It wasn’t long before class started and not long till it ends. The clouds were starting to get grey and dark. Seems like that it’s starting to raining too. You usually like this kind of weather if it wasn’t such a hassle to get home. It’s getting cold too, you thought as you rubbed your hands together and snuggled subconsciously against Mattsun for warmth.
Matsukawa, on the other hand, held the urge to slip his arm onto your waist and pull you closer to him, the urge to press you firmly to his broad chest and bury his face onto your shoulder. His fingers twitched at the thought but he shook the feelings away before poking you once as he excused himself to you before softly nudging you off him to retreat to the restroom.
When he arrived, he deeply sighed with a fist clutching his chest to desperately trying to calm his accelerating heartbeats. He told— more like convinced himself that he will confess after class but you being so close to him was making it harder to remember his memorized lines. He could still remember how you smelt like, the scent of your shampoo mixed in with your favorite perfume.
It was driving him mad at how good you smell. He splashed his face with water from the sink before staring at himself, trying to focus before chuckling to himself. He looks ridiculous right now, his face slightly damped and eyes glaring at nothing but his reflection. He’ll be fine, even if you reject him – he could just play it cool and say it was a joke.
Yeah, right. He thought. That’s just mean.
When he comes back, his seat was occupied by a fellow male student, laughing with you. This would had been fine as you were quite approachable yet he couldn’t help himself but to eye on the unfamiliar jacket you were currently wearing. You didn’t wore the clothing earlier and it looked too big for you to own it.
His mind was racing with the thought of you wearing another guy’s jacket other than his and his feelings were all over the place; mixture of anger, disappointment, and heartbroken. You never told him you were taken and you never really specify that you didn’t like him so he knew he had a chance.
He firmly grabbed your shoulders and glared daggers at the man before he stood up from his chair, cowering away while you turned around to face him with a frown. “What was that for? He was getting to the best part of his joke.”
“I don’t like him and his jacket on you so take it off.”
“What? No, this isn’t his—”
“I’ll exchanged it for mine.” he cuts off.
“No thanks, Sei. What’s this all about anyway—”
“Please, yn. Don’t make me—”
“No is no, Sei. Besides—”
“I like you. Can you now please wear my jacket?”
You stayed silent for a second, stunned at his sudden confession and jealousy over a piece of clothing. “I like you too but this is actually my jacket.”
“…”
“…”
“You’ve got to be kidding me, right?”
“Nope, I tried telling you.” You grinned at him, poking his sides as his eyes widened in realization.
“Oh…” He trails off. “Wait! Did you just say you like me?” This made you chuckle, it made you want to play with him just a little.
“Did I?” You say, teasingly.
He groaned in response. “Although, I must say: you look adorable, being all jealous over my oversized jacket.” He palms his face and that makes you chuckle even more as you grin at him. “My jealous boyfriend.”
Oh god— he doesn’t care anymore and he wouldn’t have it any other way as long as you keep tell him you’re his.
Hanamaki Takahiro
You and Hanamaki met in elementary school and immediately became friends all the way till highschool
Back then, he was smaller than you and got bullied because of his pinkish-brown locks, causing him to be subconscious of it
But you told him otherwise so you protected him and fought against many of his bullies in elementary
During in middle school and highschool though, he grew more taller and confident on his hair because of you
You didn’t had to protect him anymore so you settled on cheering and supporting him from the bleachers during his games
His team would welcome you warmly so it wasn’t a surprise to them that you grew on them, along with Kyoutani
He even developed a soft spot for you, causing you to call him: Kyou without any honorifics since you two had grown close
At first Hanamaki was ok with it, you’d love making new friends to bond with, but at the same time he was envious
Back then he was your only friend and now, your attention was everywhere but him and you two were seeing each other less
You tend to stick with Kyoutani these past few days, ever since the two of you became classmates and seatmates
And he was gonna graduate soon, leaving you behind to focus on your studies and club activities to be able to graduate
That thought saddened him, he doesn’t want to be apart from you and yet he also doesn’t want to chain you down
Hanamaki has now graduated and is working nearby Aoba Johsai, sometimes you’d go in there to buy snacks on your way home or to shelter yourself from the hot breeze of summer air and into the cool temperature of the grocery store.
Either way, he was just happy to see you in one of his jobs and sometimes catching up with you about your life and vise versa. You, however, went there to escape your persistent admirer who just can’t seem to understand why you would say no to him.
It was turning into your safe haven where you can relax and breathe without worrying about him watching your every movement. And today wasn’t one of those moments, you’ve had a sinking feeling on your gut so you stayed close to Kyoutani and asking him to walk with you home.
“Just to be safe, Kyou.” You say as you clinged tightly onto his arm. He grumbled in annoyance but didn’t protest against it, instead he let you gingerly drag him to the usual grocery store where Hanamaki worked. Not knowing that your unwanted admirer was following the two of you.
The sounds of bells ringing alerted Hanamaki of of new customers. “Welcome to— oh, hey Kyoutani and y/n.” He says with a smile, grateful to see familiar faces inside the empty store as usually around this time of night was less busy than in the morning and afternoon.
“I’m going to the restroom, yell when you need me.” Kyoutani informed to you, squeezing your arm before gently prying away from your grasp. You nodded with a smile and leaving you alone with Hanamaki. You stood there still, occasionally fidgeting as you looked around anxiously.
“What’s wrong?” He couldn’t help but asked.
“I—” You were cut off but the entrance’s bells ringing and you instantly stiffened at the presence of the newcomer.
“There you are, (l/n). You’re so hard to keep track of. You’re lucky that I’m such a nice guy, going out of my way to do this. And it’s all for you.”
Hanamaki noticed you slightly trembling from the corner of his eyes and as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by a cough from none other than Kyoutani. “Who the fucking hell do you think you are?” He asks, almost growling.
“Her admirer.” The self proclaimed nice guy proudly said.
Kyoutani scoffed before turning to you. “Is this creep bothering you, (n/n)?” He asks, draping a jacket he was holding over your shoulders.
Your admirer look between you two. “I don’t believe you would date someone like this, (l/n). You can do better by dating me.”
“Actually,” Hanamaki spoke up. “they can date whoever they want as long as it’s not you. Now, go before I call the police for suspected illegal activities.” He warned with venom laced in his tone while crossing his arms over his chest.
The boy huffed. “You’re not that pretty anyway!” He hollered at you as he stormed out like a kid throwing a tantrum.
You released a heavy sigh of relief before thanking Kyoutani and Hanamaki multiple times for helping you finally get rib of that guy.
“No problem, (y/n). He was just jealous you two look cute together.” Hanamaki teased, hiding his pain of the thought of you being taken.
“We’re not dating.” You chuckled as Kyoutani grunted in agreement.
“And the jacket?”
“It’s mine, I told him to hold it for me.”
“Oh.” He paused for a second before laughing out loud. “I assumed you two were dating since the two of you are pretty close.”
“Well, yeah. Didn’t Mattsun-senpai tell you that we’re cousins?”
“…”
“…”
“Nope, he didn’t tell me anything.” That jerk. He cursed.
“Were you jealous of Kyou, Makki-senpai?” You teased with a smirk.
Fuck it. This was his last chance. “Yeah, I was! Now, I’m all embarrassed and stupid because I used to like you.” He rambles while you look at Kyou and he shrugs before leaving the store.
“Why didn’t you confess before?”
“You know why!”
“And it only took my oversized jacket to make you confess to me? You’re unbelievable.” You shook your head in disbelief. “I liked you too, idiot!”
“Oh… WAIT, WHAT?!”
