"Morinozuka Senpai, do you think… would you be able….. I mean, could I speak to you in private, please?"
Honey glanced up, the girl talking to his Taka-chan was blushing so red that it actually looked painful. In contrast, Taka-chan looked as stoic as usual, and spent a drawn out moment just staring at the girl in irritation, before following her out of the room.
A hush spread, as everyone watched the pair of them leave curiously, then Hikaru broke the silence with a laugh. "Poor thing, we're going to have to comfort her!" And Honey found himself struggling to hold back his own laughter, it really was horrible, the way be felt so happy watching Taka-chan break the heart of every girl to confess to him…..
Afterwards, Taka-chan would always silently come and resume his place besides him, and Honey would feel a flash of triumph pass through him as he caught the girls watching them forlornly, because Taka-chan was his.

Honey made sure to focus on his cake as Taka-chan stalked back into the room a few minutes later, pretending not to notice the hoots and cat calls from the twins.
"So what did she want to talk to you about?" Honey asked with careful innocence when Taka-chan came to stand behind him. The taller boy paused for a moment, "nothing impotent" he said finally. Honey grinned.
"Well let's go to class then." He said, widening his eyes and flashing his sweetest expression at Taka-chan, who flinched slightly and looked away.
Bouncing up from his seat Honey reached up and clasped the other boy's hand in his, savoring its roughness. He glanced up just in time to see Taka-chan's involuntarily swallow at the sudden contact, and felt a rush of warmth spread through his chest.
And to think that everyone thought he was the cute one, Honey resisted the urge to give the hand he'd captured a squeeze.
Just you wait and see Honey thought to himself, one day I'll grow as big as you Taka-chan, and then I'll really make you mine…...
