S2-E5: The Other Side of an Act of Kindness

"Hey, Kudou, is there someone you like?"

"Huh?"

"She's pretty nice, that kid."

Then and there, Kudou had remembered vividly the days before that he and their teacher were (nearly) alone together. Moments like Nozomu blushing faintly when he left his guard down, not to mention the other cute reactions he'd give off for a fairly young adult. How could a teacher be so good looking at his age and with that kimono?

Who even wears that type of kimono in class these days anyway?

'Ah—'

Kudou lowered the book he was just reading when he remembered that one time. A flush swept across his cheeks at the thought of their lips just grazing against each others' ever so lightly. Yes, of course he had someone he liked, but could one casually answer another male that he liked their homeroom teacher, a fellow male at that?

"The Oblivious Senior

Two guys of the same high school had been good friends in some span of time. One was a year older than the other, and obviously a year-level higher. The two had met each other in the school library; both were fond of reading books. The older lad had reached for one of the many books in a shelf: It was something from the literature section. The other male had also reached for the same book. Unconsciously both had wanted to read the same book at the same time.

The younger one's hand was just above the older one's, 'Ah, sempai.' Yes, the younger had been familiar of this particular male had it been for his keen observations.

*OMITTED*

Their friendship was tested; the junior had liked his senior more than just friends. But should the younger one tell, he assumed that their friendship would end up down the drain.

Weeks passed and they'd grew apart, the younger feeling guilty and thought that he was already a nuisance to his senior—after all, the older guy was busy preparing for college and graduation. All the more, they'd grown apart due to junior's self-conscious avoidance from the senior's.

'If only…

If only I had the guts to tell you.' The junior eventually remained in love with his senior without the other knowing or noticing. A great heart break it was, but all of which was his own fault for not telling in the first place."

"Eeeeh~? Kudou, what was that all about?"

'Ah— not again.' He just really had to open his mouth and tell a self-inserted story about his feelings for his crush. Why couldn't he just shut up for once at a situation like this? It was awkward enough to tell such a story but Kino probably wasn't as oblivious as Nozomu was.

*Grin*

Kino grinned in the end, "So, Jun Kudou really has some he likes, huh? So tell me, is it a guy-"

"No!" So the storyteller said with a hint of red on his cheeks, "That just came out of nowhere, that's all!"

'Hn, if only I knew~'

*Target locked*

Somehow, from behind the scenes, Harumi was there passing by when she heard the bookworm tell a story about boys' love.

*MISCHIEVOUS GRIN*

Unlike the murderous intent that would usually pop out at times like this, Kudou felt a dangerous aura coming from inside the building, getting a glance at the fujoshi by the window with a bewildering grin on her lips. 'Ah—not good.'

Two against one! Jun only hoped that there won't be weird rumors floating about school premises about the weird story he just told.

"Kino, for the last time, it's not what you think it is."

*Grin*
