Fujibayashi After Story
Consequences
May 10th
"Come on gorgeous, let's go get some lunch." Ryou, blushed bright red at being referred to as 'gorgeous' as much as she finds it a little embarrassing right now, Ryou has some self-esteem issues, and I figured as a good and caring boyfriend I should try and build her up a little.
"Y-y-yes, t-thank you Tomoya-kun." Our brief interaction raised a few eyebrows among the remaining students in the room. Our relationship was well known by now, but some people still seemed to find it odd when we spoke to each other this way.
I battled my way through the melee in the canteen to get us some lunch, it was always a battle ground, but it was worse today because of some sort of cat shaped bread they'd started selling today, as a side effect with the majority of the students going for the new bread, it left more choice than usual. I got myself a cutlet sandwich and fish fillet sandwich for Ryou, it's what she wanted so I was going to get it for her even if it cost me a few extra bruises from trying to get into the counter in time to get one. Lunch in hand we headed for our spot in the stone wall in the courtyard.
"Thank you for getting me my lunch, but you really need to go through all of that just for me." Ryou was looking down at her feet, like I said self-esteem issues.
"What kind of boyfriend would it make me if I didn't try and get you everything you ever want?" Ryou blushed again but smiled and looked up at me.
"T-thank you, you're so good to me."
"You're welcome gorgeous, now eat up or we'll run out of lunch break." She giggled lightly, still blushing. More and more I was noticing how cute she was when she blushed like this.
"Would you like some tea, Tomoya-kun?"
"Yes please, so how's you sandwich?"
"It's really nice thank you, would you like to try some?"
"Yeah, go on, thanks." To my surprise she broke a piece off and brought it towards my mouth, she was bright red, and her hand was shaking quite a bit, but she was trying, bless her. So as a good boyfriend should, I closed my eyes and opened my mouth.
For longer than I expected nothing, and I was about to open my eyes, when I felt something touch my tongue. However, my lips closed around something. My eyes snapped open to reveal Ryou, redder than I'd ever seen her, as we sat there with her finger still in my mouth.
Ryou's eyes bulged in shock as it registered what was going on, she shot to her feet and sprinted off towards the school.
"Crap."
Abandoning my sandwich, I set off in pursuit, but Ryou was remarkably fast on her feet and I lost track of her at the top of the second-floor stairs. I figured she'd have to pass this way again to get back to class so I sat on the windowsill while I waited and enjoyed the cool breeze from the open window.
"TOMOYA!" Kyou rounded the corner a face full of rage.
"Wait! Wait! I can explain!" My plea for mercy was already too late as the Kanji dictionary was already in flight. Seeing it coming I tried to dodge out of the line of fire, but Kyou was too close for me to get out of the way.
I did manage to get my head out of the way, but the heavy book still struck my right shoulder, I felt something break on impact, as momentum span me round and backwards.
I was spun nearly 180 degrees and pitched out of the window, I clutched at the window frame desperately with my left hand. I swung wildly as I dangled from the window with just one hand, the edges of the frame already cutting into my hand, blood trickled down my arm as I fought to pull myself up.
With only one working arm I knew it wasn't going to work, but I tried anyway desperately.
"Onee-chan!" I could hear Ryou's voice inside. "Tomoya!" Ryou's head appeared above me as she reached for my arm.
"Oh God, please help me!" Ryou clutched at my arm, trying to pull me up. But it wasn't enough, my hand was already slipping.
As my grip gave out time slowed and I fell away, watching the horror and desperation on Ryou's face as she reached for me. My back struck a low wall below the window, but there was barely time for it to register before my head struck the ground and I lost consciousness.
