Like We Always Do
It was February than usual, the school corridors were crowded and it was all because of Kurosawa Haruto,the geekiest guy known to mankind who possessed good looks all the same. As usual the other girls were staring and gawking at him, screaming like the fan girls they are.
And as usual, he was pissing off Naruse Ibara,who was busy carrying paperwork to the Student Council Office."What the fudge Haruto?Stop pissing me off already, and don't tell me you messed up the Science Lab again!",she exclaimed."Sorry about that. I'll fix everything later 'cause I'm still working on something.", he laughed."Yeah,you'd better do that or else I'll skin you alive you dumb-ass.",she snapped back.
"Hey,hey don't get your ass all up on 's not my fault that I'm a genius who needs lots of space.",he commented."And it's not my fault for having to deal with a chauvinistic know-it-all like you.",she replied."Seriously,Naruse…you've always been in a bad mood whenever it was February ever since we entered high something wrong?",he asked paused for a moment and looked at him,surprised by the question he threw at her."Well,I just really don't like this month,especially today.",she said looking away."Hmm…you really won't tell me no matter what I'll do will you?",he sighed.
"Maybe.I'll just tell you later if I remember the reason I hate this ,and while I'm at it,I'll also tell you how much I hate your so-called gorgeousness.",she said sarcastically."Oh,here we go do you hate me so much Ibara-chan?",he teased her in a honey-toned voice."Gah!Don't call me that stupid!",she said flustered."Haha!I finally got you to laugh!That's the Naruse I know.",he said cheerfully."Yeah, …aren't you going somewhere?",she said as she pointed to the clock."Dang!I'll be late for class!See you Ibara!",he gestured,running off to their classroom in a hurry.
"Okay!See you!",she returned with a looked out the window and 's never gonna have a normal relation with all the awkward tension they'll have if she ever did everything will still be the way they used to between her and him was impossible,even for her."He's never gonna believe 's just gonna mock me for saying that piece of junk.",she murmured. Come noon the bell checked on him in the room and she saw him doodling random formulas and talking to himself.
"Hey!Haruto!It's lunch already let's go!",she called from still didn't was he working on this time,she thought?"Hey,I've called you two times 're you doing?",she asked as she looked at the notes on his desk and took them."Hey I wasn't done yet Ibara,geez.",he groaned in frustration."It was your fault for not listening.",she snapped at him."So,you wanted to talk about something?".
He noticed she had a curious look on her face while concentrating her vision on the notebook he was writing on."You like someone don't you?Tell me who it is!',she teased."Um…y-yeah I like someone.",he said,all flustered."I never knew this day would come!So,who is it?",she asked."I won't tell you unless you do me a favour.",he said with a grin on his face."Hey no fair!You've gotta tell me!",she begged."I won't okay?You might flip.",he chuckled,dragging her to their usual spot up the school."Hey Haruto,I've gotta ask you something…",Ibara said as she gripped his hand."What is it?",Haruto asked while he opened the door to the rooftop."Have you ever had any other feelings for me?".He looked back at her as he closed the door behind him,looking quite shocked.
"Wait,do you have any other feelings for me?",he returned her question with a doubtful look on his the bell rang the two just looked at each other and said "Let's deal with this later." as they both left,words the hours went by,the school day was a really hard time for Haruto,since he almost got murdered by all his kouhai,waiting for him to reply tons of the many letters they'd send him."Hey,Haruto.",Ibara greeted him as she closed the door behind her."Mmm…hey.",Haruto returned with a sad smile.
"You…still want to talk about,you know,about just now.",she stammered."Hmm,you go first.",he said as he stayed in his she sat next to him,he faced her with that same smile on his face."Naruse,tell have those feelings for me don't you?",he asked."I can't-Who am I kidding?I-I really like you,Haruto.I really,really do.I just really don't know if you'd accept this.".She grew silent as he was growing tension in the air and the two of them just sat there."I never thought you'd feel the same way,Ibara.",he said all so suddenly.
"What do you mean?",she asked him."I never thought I'd say this and,for all the time we ever spent together,I actually feel the same.I don't know if you'd believe me but,just to let you know,you know.",he said, his face shaded with red as he smiled at her."You're not lying are you?",she asked,looking at him with doubt."You don't see me laughing about this do you?Do I look like the type to lie Ibara?".She sighed in relief as she fixed her skirt."You really are a dumbass you dumbass.",she laughed at him,causing him to smile a bit."You really won't believe me no matter what I do won't you,Ibara?",he said."I didn't say you can't do anything to prove it to me,you ass.",she replied.
"Is that so?",he said as he came closer to her and cupped her face."Haruto,what're you gonna do?",she asked him,gripping at his arms."Nothing,I'm just gonna do nothing.",he whispered to her as he kissed her ever so couldn't do anything just stood there,responding to the kiss he gave just felt so right,she it really did."You stole another one of my kisses,Haruto…I can't believe you.",she chuckled as she pulled off from his personal space."Is that a bad thing?",he asked her as he held her hand.
"It is,a ,I owe you,a all I can say to you now is…Thank you.",she answered with a smile on her face."You really have to take every line I'm supposed to say to you?",he said,stroking her hair."I have to.",she said sarcastically as she gripped his hand in return."Things will still be the same,won't they?",she asked him." 's just gonna be a little more mushy red stuff at home.",he joked. "Yeah, ,aren't we supposed to go home already?',she reminded him as she pointed to the clock across the room."Oh yeah,that's on.I've gotta give you something",he said while picking her up all so suddenly."H-hey are you carrying me to my house like this?",she said flustered with the fact that he just carried her off like that.
"You live in the same house as I do,seriously,who cares?",he laughed."Hmmm…you do have a point.",she said as she held onto him tightly."Here it is!It's a little lame but,that's what all the mess was about.",he said as he pulled out a silver chain with weapon parts attached to to the center was a locket with both their photos in it."It's the most boyish and girly thing someone's ever given me.",she commented."So do you like it?",he asked her."Yes!It's handmade and really,you messed up your lab all just to give me this?It's amazing!Thank you!",she said,hugging him tightly."Okay,let's get the both of us home now okay?",he reminded her."Yeah is getting late.",she added.
" Hey,Ibara.".She looked at him and asked "What is it?"."I love you.",he whispered into her ears."I love you too",she replied as she drew closer to him."You know something?",she said."What?",he asked."I'm lucky I've got you.",she smiled."That blows,Ibara.",he teased ."At least I'm finally honest with you now,you Explosive Geek.",she snapped."Yeah,I'm glad I have you too,Worst Liar Ever.",he sighed as he kissed her hair and walked home together,like they always do.
