Osana Najimi is the school's greatest enigma.
Everything about her (?) is alluringly feminine, from the way she (?) walks and talks to the way she (?) dresses and treats people. Many a man has fallen for Najimi's charms, but one man can safely say that he is safe from such a fate. This man was none other than the most normal student in the school, Tadano Hitohito.
Tadano knew Najimi for what she was (or at least, what he thought she was). For the first few years that he knew her, Najimi resembled an ordinary middle school boy who would always be seen wearing a gakuran, a customary piece of clothing for male students. Not only that, but Najimi would prefer that she be called with the honorific 'kun,' normally used for boys. With all of these in mind, it truly perplexed Tadano when he saw Najimi walk into high school wearing a girls blazer and a skirt asking to be called 'Najimi-chan' by her many childhood friends.
'Why has he (?) gone through this change?' Tadano often asked himself this during the first months of high school. 'Does nobody remember when Najimi was a boy?' Tadano often found himself asking this when guys flocked to Najimi to give her heartfelt confessions only to be turned down, and sometimes with the reason of 'I'm a boy.' The plain boy came to a decision. His curiosity could no longer be contained. He had to find out whether Osana Najimi was a boy or a girl.
Tadano rose from his desk and marched over to his childhood friend, who had moved a bunch of desks into a circle and was eagerly chatting in a small group.
"Najimi!" Tadano slammed his hands on her desk, startling the silver haired… person. "Are you a boy or a girl?!"
The creature in question stared for a moment, before bursting into a fit of laughter.
"Haha, you're so silly sometimes, Tadano-kun!" Najimi chuckled. "Of course I'm a girl! Can't you tell?"
'No, nobody can…' The plain boy resisted the urge to retort sharply with this. Instead, he let out a sigh and returned to his seat. Tadano leaned back and let his head point to the roof.
'There's no way I'm going to get a straight answer from him…' Tadano thought. 'I'm going to have to find another way, but how…?'
His eyes wandered to his right, where his desk-neighbor and friend Komi Shouko sat. Her large and inquisitive eyes stared out towards the blackboard, an aura of benevolence about her. Standing closely in her shadow is the overly-obsessive fan of Komi, Yamai Ren. Quite unlike the black haired beauty sitting in the desk to the right of him, Yamai's eyes were bloodshot and full of lust, aimed directly at the ignorant Komi.
'Ah, Yamai-san… She's a an odd one. She's always up to something, trying to get indecent looks at Komi-san's… sensitive areas...' Tadano thought, looking back at all the memories he has of Yamai, from his initial meeting with her, the kidnapping he went through because of her, and the general antics Yamai does in order to get her hands on the object of her desires.
'Wait a moment, maybe that's the trick! I could try take a look at Najimi's panties… or whatever it is that he has under that skirt of his…' The plain boy had a revelation. 'It's a bit weird, but it has to be done. For science!'
Yamai's eyes wandered ever so slightly to the left of her beloved, and saw a strange look in Tadano's eyes. It was a look she was very familiar with. A look she herself made very often throughout her daily life at school. Her eyes widened as soon as she realised, and a small gasp escaped her lips.
'That's… the look of a pervert in the making!'

"Hey Najimi, wanna hang out at my place?"
Tadano approached Najimi while he was putting on his shoes at his locker on the way out. The person in question gasped at his proposition, and flashed a sly grin.
"Hmm, inviting me to your place? It's certainly been a while, hasn't it?" Najimi mused, still holding his grin. "Awfully confident of you to ask a girl over, though."
"S-sure, whatever you say. You wanna come or not?" Tadano deadpanned. 'Making him answer suddenly is a sure-fire way to get him to say yes. Surprisingly, Najimi is bad with pressure.'
"Okay, okay! Let's go!" Najimi cheered, roughly stuffing the rest of his stuff into his bag and skipping to the exit, with Tadano walking quickly behind. "You know, I was being serious before. It has been a while since I've gone over to your house. I wonder if your mom will recognise me!"
"Hitomi was able to, so I don't see why she can't too." Tadano replied.
"True, true."
The rest of the walk was made in silence. Tadano kept an average pace, while Najimi went from walking beside him, to running ahead and messing around to skipping lively all within the span of ten minutes. The two kept a similar cycle going for the remainder of the walk.
Mere meters behind the duo, a mysterious figure stood with their head poking out from behind a nearby lamp-post. Their lithe fingers wormed their way around the metal surface of the post, bringing their head further out to get a view of the walking friends. The light from the slowly setting sun shined upon their… no, her glossy black hair, making it shine more than usual. She kept a straight face as her large eyes drilled holes into the backs of her targets.
It was none other than Komi Shouko, who was curious.
The beautiful young girl was curious as to why Tadano rose from his desk to ask Najimi about his/her gender, so Komi took it upon herself to find out why. She had initially planned to confront to boy about it after school, but after overhearing Tadano's proposition to Najimi, she couldn't help herself. Ever since they left, Komi had been shadowing them from behind.
Komi thought that Tadano's sudden interest in Najimi's hidden gender was odd, especially given how many opportunities he could've found that out in the past. From what she understood, Najimi used to wear the male's uniform at the middle school where Tadano and Najimi met, so she thought that would've been enough evidence for that plain friend of hers. Because of this, Komi was determined not only to find out Tadano's ulterior motive, but to also find out what Najimi hid underneath his/her skirt.
The black haired beauty could hear the muffled sounds of Tadano's and Najimi's conversation, and this got her mind racing with strange fantasies.
'What if Najimi-san is a girl?' Komi thought. 'She and Tadano-kun get along pretty well… What if she is a girl, and Tadano-kun likes her more than he likes me? What if… what if I lose Tadano-kun as a friend…?' Her large eyes began to well up. Komi's cheeks reddened quickly, and she shook her head violently. 'No, there's no way! Tadano-kun wouldn't abandon me because of Najimi-san. He's too… too…'
"...cool." The girl finished her thoughts out loud, a singular tear rolling down her cheek. One last time, Komi shook herself back into shape, and continued following.
Before long, Tadano and Najimi made it to Tadano's house, and the two went in without delay. Komi was eager to follow, but before she could slip in through the door, it was closed abruptly. Komi spent a while staring at the closed door, reprimanding herself for her lack of foresight. She didn't even think about how she was gonna get in.

Najimi made herself comfortable on Tadano's bed, the lower bunk on the bunk bed system Tadano's family had set up to accommodate the younger sister, Hitomi. Tadano sat himself at his desk, turning his seat around to face his guest.
"So~, what'cha wanna do, Tadano-kun?" Najimi asked excitedly. "You got any games around here?"
Tadano began to tense up. "U-Uh, maybe? L-Let's have a look."
'Damn it! I didn't think about what I'd do once I get Najimi here!' Tadano was mentally reprimanding himself over his lack of foresight. 'I'll have to stall him for now…'
Tadano watched as his guest jumped up and began rummaging through drawers and hidden gaps between desks and walls, eager to find something to entertain himself/herself with. It was here that Tadano saw his opportunity. Najimi was innocently leaning over and searching through an open wardrobe, his/her legs standing as straight as a tree. His/her skirt began to rise from it's precarious position on Najimi's thighs.
'Oh! Oh! This is it! It's time for the great reveal!' Tadano mentally shouted, bringing his hand over his mouth to keep himself from gasping. The silver haired boy/girl leaned forward more and more, and his/her skirt moved up further and further still. The plain boy could practically feel the suspension.
Najimi leaned forward once more, ever so slightly, and the skirt lifted up to reveal the outer lining of a pair of white panties. In a knee-jerk reaction, Tadano rose from his seat with the speed of a bullet firing from a gun. 'There it is! Just a little bit more!'
Tadano took a single step closer to his goal. Where he expected to feel the safe hardness of the floor, he was instead greeted by the soft wooly sensation of his own indoor shoes. Tadano lost his balance, and was sent flying face-first...
...right into his desired target.
Tadano shut his eyes and was greeted with two seconds of smooth softness, like two fluffy pillows being pressed and rubbed against his cheeks. This sliding sensation was soon followed by… the story of the princess and the pea. Or rather, two peas, encased within the fluffy pillows mentioned earlier.
The sensations ended, and Tadano's face was given the feeling of the hard ground he expected to be standing on moments before. Najimi shrieked, jumped, and turned around to see Tadano laying face-down on his bedroom floor, with his arms fully outstretched.
"Ta-tadano-kun…" Najmi whispered. It was the first time Tadano had ever heard Najimi this quiet. "Just now… did you just…"
'Oh no… I've done it now!' Tadano thought as he prepared himself for the worst.
"...did you just feel my butt?" Najimi asked, his soft voice and shy expression swapped out for a confident voice and a sly expression. "No, it was more like you shoving your face in my butt… How forward~."
Tadano shot up from the ground and bowed deeply. "I-It's not what-"
Najimi pressed his index finger on Tadano's lips. "Shhh~ Shhh~ It's alright, Tadano-kun. I always knew you were a pervy boy~." Najimi giggled. "You probably felt… those… as well, right? My… family jewels? I guess there's no hiding it now, I am 100% a boy."
"Wh-wha-" Tadano tried to express his surprise, but was again silenced by Najimi's single finger on his lips.
"But, I suppose you already knew that. I did wear the boys uniform in middle school after all. You knew all that, yet you were willing to go there with me. I never knew you batted for the other team, Tadano-kun~."
Tadano, now adorned with a very red face, stood up and began to back away. "N-Najimi, I can explain!"
Najimi responded by walking forward as seductively as he could, pushing the boy back to his desk chair and straddling his lap. "There's no need to explain. Because…"
Najimi leaned in further, their noses threatening to touch each other. His breath brushed against Tadano's own lips, causing his face to redden even more.
"I bat for the same team too~"
Before Tadano could comprehend what was going on, Najimi closed the space between the two and connected their lips. Najimi's hot breath collided with Tadano's in a warm embrace. The silver haired boy wrapped one arm around Tadano's neck and used the other to guide his partners arms to his hips.
The two were locked in their embrace for a few seconds before Najimi pulled out, harboring a satisfied smile and red cheeks.
"Heehee, how was that, Tadano-kun?" Najimi smiled. "Hmm, or should I call you Tadano-chan? Maybe Hitohito-kun?"
Tadano was simply speechless. His face was almost completely red and was gasping like a fish out of water.
"Too stimulating for you, eh? Don't worry, Tadano-chan. I'll hold back for you next time." The silver haired boy leaned in towards Tadano's ear and whispered. "Take care of me from now on, Tadano-chan~"
Najimi pressed his lips to Tadano's cheek once more before moving off of his lap and leaving. Tadano slowly regained composure from his experience, his mind finally catching up with what just happened.
'Najimi is a boy, I felt his butt with my face, and he kissed me…' Tadano recalled. 'Damn, my first kiss taken by a boy. And here I was wanting to give it to Komi-san…'
Najimi walked out of Tadano's house with a confident grin and a skip in his step. The two boys were in different places, doing very different things, yet the same thought lingered in their minds.
'It wasn't a bad kiss'
A/N: Wassup. This is my first fic, and I think I've done pretty well for my first. This is an idea that I've cooked up while re-reading the manga, but most of what you read there was improvised in order to get my ideas to link up. Leave any thoughts, criticism, or ideas in a review. I might just make a second chapter...
