~A blog worthy romance~
"Imaizumi, you have a blog?!"
That morning the fall air was crisp and Onoda had managed to find out a little secret Imaizumi was keeping as they walked to school.
"Err…yeah. But don't tell anyone okay? It's sort of embarrassing…"
"Why not? It's okay! I have one too actually!" Onoda replied. "I mostly just post anime related things though…although I'm sure yours is very cool!"
"Ah well, thanks Onoda…but it's also quite a bit personal…I'd just prefer if you didn't tell anyone…especially that red-he-"
"Oi, Onoda! Hotshot! Good morning!" Naruko interrupted Imaizumi as he ran up to them. "What was that about not telling anyone? Keeping secrets, are we Hotshot?" He elbowed Imaizumi with a grin.
"Nope. Right Onoda?" Imaizumi said shooting Onoda a look.
"Ah, um, right! Haha!" Onoda agreed nervously.
"Onoda's bad at lying…" Imaizumi and Naruko both thought to themselves.
"Awww c'mon, we're all friends though aren't we? ...Onoda?" Naruko nagged.
"Ah... but…" Onoda stuttered.
Naruko gave the two puppy-eyes. "I won't ever ever talk to you again if you won't tell me"
"Good" Imaizumi answered.
"NOOOOO! OKAY OKAY FINE I'LL TELL YOU NARUKO-KUN! IMAIZUMI WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT HOW HE HAS A BLOG."
Well thanks a lot Onoda…
"Oooooh! A blog you say? What's it about? Biking, movies, your life stories and past heartbreaks…?" Naruko teased the all-rounder.
"Nothing of the sort" Imaizumi answered while getting frustrated.
Naruko decided to give his act a rest, "Well whatever it is, it's not like I'm interested. Blogs can get pretty boring anyways…so don't worry, it's not like I'll read it or anything, kakaka!"
"Well...okay." Imaizumi replied, feeling slightly relieved.
"Okay then, I'm going to go on ahead, see you Mr. Blogger! See ya, Onoda-kun"
Imaizumi cringed at his new nickname. "Ah, Naruko, just don't-"
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your little secret, Hotshot! See you!" Naruko yelled from over his shoulder.
Well, maybe Naruko finding out wasn't as bad as Imaizumi would have thought…
That day during lunch
Imaizumi glanced at his phone…he might as well check his blog. Lunch was getting a bit boring anyways…
He wasn't going to admit it before, but Naruko had completely guessed Imaizumi's blog correctly. He had photos of bikes, facts about racing and strategies, links to his favourite movie soundtracks, stories of his past and present. It was just all too personal for him to share. But now, both Onoda and Naruko knew…how embarrassing...and besides, he had made his blog a good number of years ago. He went by "Ao_Usagi_2" for god's sake!
To his surprise, he had received a message. It was from a fellow blogger, one he'd been in contact with a little more lately. Sometimes they sent the occasional message being friendly since their blogs were somewhat similar, and Imaizumi was grateful that he could talk to another person like this without much face-to-face contact. Their messages were usually short and just consisted of a compliment or two, but this time, they asked if they could talk as friends. Whether online or in person, Imaizumi hasn't had the most experience when it came to making friends…but as it seemed, this person had a lot in common with him, so why not? It's not like they were being creepy, they probably just figured he was an interesting person to talk to about well…common interests.
AnonNeko28: Hi! I know we haven't really talked much but I hope we could try becoming friends! Your blog seems cool!
Ao_Usagi_2: Thank you! In fact I also really admire your blog. I hope we can become friends as well.
Imaizumi cringed, fearing he sounded too awkward through his message, while AnonNeko28 seemed to text so simple and freely, without much effort.
Only a few moments later, Imaizumi got an eager reply.
AnonNeko28: Ah, thank you! Tbh I'm actually at school right now...would you be interested in talking later today? (^o^)
Ao_Usagi_2: Me too! ...and sure I'd love to talk later.
AnonNeko28: Awesome! I'll look forward to it!
Ao_Usagi_2: I'll look forward to it as well :)
AnonNeko28...She seems cute. I hope we get along.
Meanwhile...
"Hey Naruko, It turns out the anime I was going to record is actually airing tomorrow and not today! Would you like to go biking or something after school?"
Onoda and Naruko were sitting together at lunch in the class over, and while Onoda was his usual cheerful self, it seemed that Naruko was distracted by his phone.
"Oh...my bad Onoda-kun, can you repeat that again...I wasn't listening" Naruko asked while sounding distracted.
"I asked if you would like to do something together after school today." Onoda repeated.
"Oh...today? Well..."
"This morning you said you weren't going to be busy today, or do you have plans after all?"
"Yeah sorry...I actually just made plans with an...old friend of mine. Maybe another time?" Naruko replied.
"Sure, that's okay! Catching up with old friends is always important!" Onoda said while nodding his head.
"Kakaka...yup!"
"Oh. I'll be right back, I have to use the bathroom!" Onoda then told Naruko as he proceeded to get out of his chair.
As Onoda left the class, Naruko glanced back down at his phone and smiled...
"Tonight it is, Ao_Usagi_2..."
Hmmmm...I wonder what will happen that night when the two bloggers finally talk...
*When I got this idea I thought it was the most cheesiest and fluffiest thing ever...so of course I had to try writing it! Please leave a review or let me know if you want to read more (^_^) *
