Keigo Asano was always there, thought Mizuiro.
Even when they were younger, the kid was practically latched onto him. Always around the corner, ready to assault you with random facts or dumb realizations. Maybe if he kept to himself more and didn't make a fool out of himself in public, Mizuiro would have respected him more. He wouldn't argue with the fact that they were friends, but gosh he could be so annoying!
And the worst part was that no matter what he said or what he did, Asano would not leave him alone! The meanness and sarcasm seemed to pass over his dumb head and Mizuiro would find himself dealing with the girl-obsessed pack of hormones all over again.
Then again, maybe it was his fault for flaunting his popularity with girls that attracted Keigo like a nail to a magnet.
He liked Ichigo a lot more. Not only did he keep to himself and was independent to the point of isolation, but he seemed to know so much more than he let on. He could also read people a lot better than Asano, who seemed desperate for attention. Too bad Ichigo was always gone doing something 'important'. Leaving him alone with Asano, who would drag you places you didn't actually care to go to.
And even when Keigo wasn't around, he was always there! Even when he was with his older female friends, Keigo always seemed to enter every single thought like an unwanted visitor. Mmm…Keigo would like that. Hmm…cherry soda…I thought I told Keigo not to chug it that time. And even when he was cuddling with one of his said female friends, I wonder how Keigo would feel in this kind of situation?
Thus, most of the times he was enjoying himself with his female friends, he always had to cut it short. It annoyed him to no end that even as he was leaning into a kiss, Asano's dumb face would somehow float into his mind and the mood would be shot. And as it to make it worse, every time he came back early from a trip with his girls, Asano would always be perched on his doorstep as if he heard from the wind that Mizuiro was coming back. And the torturous cycle would begin again.
Lately, Keigo seemed pretty desperate without contact from any sort of girl and was now resorting to hitting on random people around him. Of course, Ichigo would punch him out whenever he tried (and anyway, Ichigo was always away doing whatever), he felt inferior talking to Orhime (who probably wouldn't get Keigo's advances anyway), he was practically afraid of Chad, and he hated Uryu. Which left…hmm, only Mizuiro.
"Hey, Mizuiro! Wanna go see a movie? It'll be kinda like a date but not really! Anyway, I'm sure there's gonna be some chicks watching Sludge Monster 2!"
Keigo Asano was always there, thought Mizuiro.
…but maybe that wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
