Idle Talk
(A Gokusen 2 Fan Fiction)
Summary: The Kurogin 3-D protagonists had been talking about Yankumi. And one of them suddenly made an interesting revelation.
Takeda Keita absentmindedly picked on one of his hairclips as he was listening to Hyuuga Kosuke. The other guys in the pack were all ears, except for Odagiri Ryu who was facing the window.
"Did you see Yankumi go all flustered after giving Koju-sensei some chocolates?"
"What's that got to do with us?" Odagiri asked nonchalantly.
Hayato Yabuki glared at him. "Not that I don't mind your seemingly indifference to other people's affairs, but hey, this is a tidbit, you know. Yankumi will finally have a love life of her own!"
"Yeah, and the good thing about it is that she won't keep on pestering us," Tsuchiya Hikaru said as he hit Odagiri lightly with his fan.
Odagiri rolled his eyeballs. Whatever that was about Yankumi, he doesn't care. He just can't wait to graduate and get out of Kurogin.
"Whatever..."
Hyuuga then turned to Tsuchiya. "Hey, did you just tell Yankumi that Valentines Day is a battle for us men?"
"Yeah, I did," Tsuchiya said as he raised his eyebrows. "But that battle had to be felt to cute girls and older women so that they'd give us chocolates. And if that would mean Yankumi wearing a miniskirt, I wouldn't mind asking chocolates from her and asking her out on a date."
"And would you?" Takeda asked boredly.
"Of course I would!-" Tsuchiya suddenly realized his error as he cupped his mouth closed.
"Say that again?" Hayato, Hyuuga and Odagiri asked in chorus.
The room was suddenly silent as they waited for their friend to reply. Tsuchiya suddenly turned red like a tomato as he waved his hand in front of him.
"Iie...that's not what I meant!-"
"Do you like Yankumi?" Hyuuga asked as he inched his face towards the already blushing Tsuchiya. The latter looked at the grins of his friends sans for Odagiri who just gave a lopsided smile.
Gotcha...
"Yes..I mean no...I mean...arrrggghhhh!" Tsuchiya groaned in exasperation as he couldn't think of any way to get out of the dilemma. The other guys except Odagiri gave taunting laughs as they patted their stomachs.
"Well, what now, Tsucchi?" Odagiri asked. He was silently eying his friend, expecting him to give an answer. "Because it seems to me that you do like her. I mean, you kept saying it to her face that you like girls and that Valentines Day is important to us guys. Nevertheless..."
The other guys suddenly stopped laughing as they looked at the red-haired bishonen stand up and head towards the door.
"Tsucchi, you never agreed to nor refuted at all when Yankumi said you 'liked' her just because you preferred older women. I'd take that response for a yes."
"I was dumbfounded!" Tsucchi already sounded defensive.
"Ryu, where are you going?" Takeda asked as he stood up. He suddenly felt cold when Odagiri gave a lopsided smile while closing the door behind him.
"Shimatta! He's going to tell Yankumi, Tsucchi!" Takeda ranted as he hurriedly chased his friend. Tsucchi turned pale while Hayato and Hyuuga turned to him with an 'OH NO' look on their faces.
"Ehhhh, Tsucchi...if I were you, I'd get ready for an explanation in class to-mor-rowwww," Hayato said in a singsong voice as his eyes grinned.
