8man And Co.
Chapter 1.
Relationships...
Relationships are a thing. A 'part' of the whole infrastructure that is society. I used to see them as people leeching acceptance off each other, sometimes as horny people and gold diggers, sometimes as lying, cheating tricksters.
But today, as I, Hikigaya Hachiman, can now proclaim I have a significant other, my train of thought changes. Once filled with pure hatred at the thought of being bound to someone, I can now semi-proudly announce that the person at my right makes me stupid.
Her cyanish silver hair, that eternal ponytail, her delicate face, devoid of any sort of articial beauty, her feminine figure and long long legs. Her caring, quiet and curt personality and her cute outbursts whenever she's embarrassed...
I can only wonder how a person so beautiful like herself would fall for me.
She has sewn her reasons into my brain. She doesn't want a hollow pretty boy, she wants a mature, nice and kind guy that is true to himself.
I-I see. I guess I was always mature...
"Hachiman. Can you pass me the can?"
"Ah, sure thing."
We were currently in the clubroom. It was a friday. And there was a different thing in the room.
No Yuigahama.
After learning of my relationship with Saki, one day she felt ill and took a few days off, and with her gone, the room was pure loner.
With me, Saki and Yukinoshita. It was silence...
Saki, insisted that instead of her waiting at her home for me to get out of club, she decided to join me. An action that wasn't that well with our icy president.
But I already talked with Hiratsuka-sensei. If she has a problem with my relationship, I will quit the club. I already endure the insults, the whole superiority thing and she claiming at being flawless. That I can take.
But mess with Saki and we're gonna have a problem. She's my priority up there with Komachi and my family itself now. She's important to me.
Club is important to me too, but if they can't accept I'm in a relationship, then I'll just leave.
Besides, it's not like Saki was dangerous or anything. She is strong, but she's pretty much harmless. She was at my side at the end of the table, currently studying some english.
And Kyaaaa does Saki look cute wearing glasses! I just wanna hug her!
But I can't. I wouldn't hear the end of it from Yukinoshita. Or to an extension, Haruno.
But enough about them. I can't think of other women while my girlfriend studies at my side. So I look to my right, admiring her scrunched up face as she tries to make sense of the words composed by the english alphabet.
As soon as I open my mouth, she raises her hand in my direction, signalling me to zip it.
She tries hard. She's aiming for college and makes me proud how far she has come by pure will alone.
Saki raises m- our can of MAX coffee and takes a sip. She has taken a liking to these ever since last week. Didn't take her for a sweet tooth.
Sharing a can is without a doubt, unsanitary, but I couldn't bother with buying a second one. The bento she prepared for me this morning left me full so I couldn't finish that can anyway...
As for me, I'm reading a manga about vampires and nazis. And I'm pretty sure Yukinoshita is reading a hard cover book in english.
Saki puts the can down, closes her notebook and leans her head on my shoulder. I blush as we're having physical contact in front of Yukinoshita.
"Sigh, all finished. I just need to review my notes so far and all done."
She yawns, which makes me embarassed as to why she's so tired today. Yesterday when I stayed over at her home, she tried to be more understanding of the things I like, so I brought my Chobits DVD and we watched 6 episodes before she fell asleep and I had no choice but to sleep next to her that night. What with her grip of death and all. Instead of the usual routine of sleeping in my Bugtouto's room. (1)
That wasn't my intention however, I just wanted to watch one of my favorite series with her. Komachi and Dad usually hog the TV back home so I don't have a chance of re-watching my anime DVDs.
Either way, I guess you could say...
...that my stay over plan was suspiciously succesful...
[A/N: ...*grins*...]
In both ways really, a way of the loner: watching anime again.
And a way of the riajuu: sleeping next a beautiful girl.
Still hate riajuus though...
But I can't deny...she makes me happy.
*cough cough*
Slight coughs coming from Yukinoshita prompted Saki to get off my shoulder slowly, as she probably thought Yukinoshita was getting uncomfortable at us being so close.
"Kawasaki-san, I advice you not to let this...thing's hands go without supervision. Who knows what moves he could be sneaking to grope an innocent girl."
Tch.
I crossed my arms.
"I'm not replying to that, Yukisingle-san. Saki and I have been going for a long time now. I...l-love her and wouldn't dream of doing something bad to her. We have this mutual thing called trust, I don't suppose you have heard of it."
Yukinoshita flinched at my jab, while Saki blushed cutely and put a hand on her reddening cheeks.
It was true. Yukinoshita always boasted how it would be highly improvable for me to get married, let alone have a girlfriend and how she was perfect and bla bla. But now that I have one and before her even, shows that looks can't beat personality.
...Saki insists I'm handsome, but thinking about that makes my heart go doki-doki.
"A-Ara...Hikigaya-kun. Of course I have heard of the term trust. I was only advicing Kawasaki-san to not leave her eyes off you. Who knows when you are planning on attacking her."
"Yeah yeah, let's hope you do not grow to be a cat lady."
"And let's hope your relationship lasts more than a few month-"
*SLAM*
"DON'T. YOU DARE."Saki said as she had just slammed her hands on the table.
"S-Saki..."
"Kawasaki-san..."
She glared at Yukinoshita. Dry Ice versus Ice Queen.
She grunted, threw her books into her bag and stood up. She stormed and exited the room, slamming the sliding door hard.
I was stunned.
"Hikigaya-kun..."
"Right, I'll go after her. If there's a request mail it to me."
I stood up and placed my bag on my shoulder. But was stopped by the sudden voice of Yukinoshita.
"Wait, it is not that."
I looked at her and she looked guilty. An expression not fitting of Sobu's most beautiful girl.
"I would like to apologize to Kawasaki-san. I was in the wrong. Bring her to club tomorrow Hikigaya-kun. And I'm sorry."
"Will do."
I exited the clubroom and went straight to the roof.
...
..
.
"Saki please."
"No. Go away, I'm mad at you."
"I just...c'mon Saki, don't be mad."
"No, you're defending her. I won't forget that."
"Tha's just our way of communication! Please, she wants to apologize."
"It's too late for that, Hikigaya."
O-Ouch.
She hasn't called me Hikigaya in months. And her tone wasn't lying either.
What can I do?
...
...it's worth a try.
*ZOOM* *GRIP*
"K-Kya~!"
Boyfriendo Skill: #12. Lav-Lav Hug.
I was holding Saki tight. My hands carefully placed in her stomach as to not touch anything remotely private.
"L-L-L-LET GO!"
"Nope, I want you to hear Yukinoshita out."
"Sh-Sh-She was in tha-thi-the wrong!"
"I know and she wants to say sorry."
I don't want things in club to go to hell. I want my girlfriend and my clubmates to understand each other.
Maybe because I couldn't decide between the two.
"LET GO DAMMIT."
*POOM*
"GUHA!"
A strike, right in the center of my face. I hear the wind rushing past my ears as I fall down.
*THUD*
Bwehhhhhh I see starsssss!
"H-Hachiman!"
A cyan streak embraced me and held me as the world around me spunnnnn round aaaaaand round!
And I fell into uncounsciousness...
-END-
A/N: This site needs more Saki, and Orimoto, and Megu-Megu-MEGURIN! too.
If you liked this well, review it up!
I will post various drabbles of 8man with the various waifus of Oregairu here between BlacBlue's chapters to let steam off.
Also, I drew Yuichii. You can check him out, I uploaded it to my twitter since I can't get Imgur to work for some reason.
If you can name the character he is based on, I'll make a one-shot with specifications from the winner.
Anyway, just search for Break Salaz and you'll see the drawing I made. Don't follow me since I rarely use it, I'll just use it to upload drawings of BlacBlue or stuff like that.
Thanks for reading!
