Part 3! I know I uploaded it fast.. As I said I finished this fic a couple of weeks ago…
Enjoy!
It was already the afternoon, the butler was getting more attention and busier by the minute. This made Akihiko worried that he may not be able to be on time for the play. Every girl wanted to be served by him and him only, which irritated Akihiko greatly and made his teammates a bit peeved.
Akihiko glanced at the clock as he replenished the customer's tea. He already missed the start of theplay, hehad hope he could atleast take a break before the play ends. When he was looking at the clock, he didn't notice that the tea was already overflowing until the girl shrieked. He looked backat the poor girl, pants slightly drenched with tea, then back at the tea. He sighed and muttered an apology. He quickly retreated back to the small room.
"Sanada! Take a break. You're getting too much attention; this is bad for the other members!" His coach suddenly said as he entered the room.
With that, Akihiko dropped the tray he was holding to the table and rushed out the classroom – still wearing his butler outfit. As he ran towards his destination (running towards his destination), girls can't help but stare at the captain of the boxing team in his butler outfit. Akihiko didn't even notice he was still wearing the outfit, he didn't care, and he was in a hurry to get to the gymnasium. He hoped he gets there on time.
"Akihiko-kun!"
Akihiko looked back and saw a swarm of girls running towards him, but they couldn't get close. Akihiko arrived without breaking a sweat. He lost the girls following him as he led them around the school. He thanked Tartarus for all that running made him faster from running around on every floor and escaping from Shadows. Escaping from them was not hard.
He entered through the back door of the gymnasium, quietly not to disturb the play. The gym was dark and everyone was silently watching the play, not noticing the Akihiko had entered the premises. The only light source available was coming from the stage.
"Akihiko-senpai?" a voice called out.
Akihiko turned to look at Junpei, still wearing his signature hat even with a costume. He squinted his eyes to get a better look at him.
"Junpei… What are you wearing?" Akihiko asked.
Junpei grimaced. "I'm a minion of the evil witch."
Akihiko wanted to laugh. 'Minion? Junpei would've been better as a Jester,' he thought. True enough, Junpei looked ridiculous with the make-shift horns on his head, the rugged clothes, and a spear. Akihiko wondered if he wore that hat of his while being a minion.
"D-Don't laugh." Junpei whispered loudly.
The lights had suddenly dimmed from the stage and soft music started playing in the background. The crowd had gone quiet, anticipating what's going to happen next.
Junpei cringed his neck a bit. "Ah... We're coming to the end already…"
"What?" Akihiko exclaimed a little too loud, making the others look at him.
Akihiko can hear the girls cooing over him, but he didn't pay any attention to them as he looked ahead at the stage. Laying on the middle of the stage on a bed is her. He couldn't make out the face, but her hair sprawled on the bed. She was wearing a beautiful pink dress. Akihiko couldn't stop looking as he made his way near the stage, but stop abruptly when the prince came out from the other side of the stage.
The prince walked towards the sleeping princess. Once he was at the side of the bed, the prince knelt beside the princess' bed.
"Oh, what a beautiful princess!" he said, "With my kiss, you shall awaken."
"S-Senpai?" Junpei asked as he stared at the silver-haired champion.
Akihiko ignored him and sprinted to the stage. He can feel eyes on him, but ignored it. The prince turned his head to meet Akihiko's raging eyes and stood up. There were now screams of delight from the girls as they saw Akihiko.
"W-What th-" The prince was cut short as Akihiko grabbed him by the collar.
Akihiko stretched his arm back, preparing to punch the lights of the guy. He knew it was wrong, he knew, but couldn't stop himself knowing the girl he likes is going to be kissed by some other guy. He knew he could be well be executed by Mitsuru for this, but it was worth it.
"Akihiko-senpai!" a certain voice stopped him.
Akihiko was brought back to Earth. His mind was clearing. He turned his head back. There she was, standing near the bed of the princess, wearing… the school uniform?
"Wha-" Akihiko gasped.
"Kyaaa~ Akihiko-kun is my prince~"
Akihiko turned to look at the girl, who's playing the princess. Sure enough… it wasn't her. He looked at his leader then back to the girl, who was ogling at him, then back to his leader. She was shocked and surprised as him. He let go of the poor boy and stared at the crowd, embarrassed to what he has done. From where he was standing, he could see a certain fiery redhead. His eyes widened.
"A-K-I-H-I-K-O!" Mitsuru raged as she walked towards the stage.
Akihiko stood there frozen in his spot. He knew the consequences and he was prepared for it. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes and prepared for the blow…
It was already night time and the festival has already ended. Some guests have left the school vicinity, while the students stayed and prepared for a big bon fire as a celebration for the success of the school festival.
Akihiko sat down at one of the benches at the rooftop. He needed to be alone for a moment. He knew those girls will look for him to dance with him.
"What a day…" He sighed and looked up at the sky.
The sun was already setting. The orange yellow sky was getting dark by the minute, the trees rustled as the wind blew slightly, and the noises of the students were heard as they prepared for the last performance of the festival.
"I knew I would find you here." A certain voice called out.
Akihiko turned his head to the door of the rooftop. His leader smiled at him and walked towards the benches where he sat. Akihiko shifted to give her space as she sat down.
"How did you know I was here?" Akihiko asked.
She thought about it for a second then answered, "Call it a girl's intuition."
Akihiko has no idea what she was talking about but nodded, and then he turned to look at his feet. He still felt embarrassed for what he had done. He was relieved that Mitsuru didn't freeze him, of course not in front of the crowd; he imagined that he might get the execution later when they get back to the dorm. He later learned that his leader was in charge of the costumes since she was part of the home economics club with some foreign exchange student named Bebe and when Yukari came to check the costumes, she was wearing the princess costume to check the fit since the girl who played the princess had more or less the same size as his leader.
Both of them sat there not saying anything. Akihiko fidgeted a bit, not taking the silence anymore. "I'm sorry about… you know…"
She smiled at him. "Why'd you do it, senpai? That wasn't like you…"
Akihiko blushed. I did it because I can't stand that someone kisses you. I did it because I'm jealous. I did it because I want to be the one to wake you up from your curse. I did it because I have feelings for you. I did it because I love you. But he can't say those. What if she doesn't have the same feelings as him? What then?
"Senpai?" She called out to him, she touched his shoulder.
Akihiko looked at her, staring at her red eyes. He gulped.
"I-I don't know…" He said and looked away.
She looked perplexed and confused but nodded at his answer. Music started to fill their surroundings and screams of girls looking for Akihiko are heard around the school.
"Oh man…" Akihiko grunted.
"I guess your fan club won't back down." His leader joked, trying to lighten the mood. She giggled as she stood up and patted her skirt. She turned to Akihiko. "Can I have a dance, Senpai?" she asked.
Akihiko looked at the girl in front of him with widened eyes. "Wha-"
She cut him. "That way, they won't bother you."
Akihiko didn't like the reason she gave him, but he smiled anyway. He stood up and held his hand out to her to take. "Alright. I'll dance with you."
They stood in front of the bon fire with other couples dancing around. With her back in front of him, she placed both of her hand on his and danced while the other girls looked at his leader with pure jealousy.
'This day wasn't so bad after all…' Akihiko thought as he led his leader.
Did you guys see that coming? I'm not really good at writing funny stories... I'm more of the fluffy and drama fic...
I hope you guys enjoyed my fic as I've enjoyed writing it. As of now, I'm working on three fics (hopefully one-shots) that I can finish before school starts.
Comments are appreciated
