Update 15/4/17 Grammatical & other errors sniped courtesy of thatguywhowrote

I had reached home after a tiring spying experience which terribly failed in the first half. I aimed to sleep as soon as I entered my house, but who said that life was easy? Jokes on you.

As soon as I entered my house, I saw an unusual amount of females sitting on the couch of our living room; those females being none other than my fellow service club members and the new entry.

The reason? They were stalking the stalkers. Not so simple, I guess.

They gave me what seemed to be like a scrutinizing gaze. Komachi, on the other hand, looked all fired up as if she had found a treasure chest that some sunken pirate ship from the sixteenth century had in it. Wait, what am I even talking about?

After a short moment of uncomfortable silence, Yuigahama decided to strain her vocal cords.

"Hikki, are you dating Kawasaki-san?" She said. Her tone sent shivers down my spine. It definitely didn't fit the in-house airhead, but perfectly on the resident ice queen who must've shared her powers with her friend. As soon as those words left her mouth, I swear I felt the temperature of the room dramatically drop.

The Ice Queen Rises.

Nozaki was so angry about something that this topic seemed to fail to pique her interest.

Coming back at the question at hand, the thinking process of the modern-day humans, specifically girls, confuses to me an unimaginable level. If a boy and a girl were seen together, they are dating. This is the sentence that is disgustingly fed into the brains of 99% humans. Needless to say, I belong to the fortunate 1%.

This… 'Are the two of you an item?' thing has happened to me twice today. What can I say about these fellow humans in terms of speed? Faster than light. Seriously, can you leave me alone?

I replied.

"No. I'm not dating Kawasaki, or anyone, for that matter." I spoke as if my words were absolute. That brought me a few breath releases and an even angrier Nozaki.

"Going to the mall, or I should say running to the mall, buying stuff, drinking same drinks in cafe, going to a photo booth, watching a movie, all this seems like a date to me. Just accept that you are dating. I don't think anyone would be bothered by the two of you dating, so there is no reason for lying."

Sounds like a da- wait. What did she just say?

I need to do something about this situation quick, or everyone in the room with freeze to death by the wrath of the ice queen. Speaking of which, why is she so angry? Leaving her aside, I saw something for the first time in my life, or anyone would have; the 'Yuigahama Glare'. A glare with powers of both fire and ice combined. I know it's impossible, but so is the glare of Yuigahama that yours truly is facing the wrath of!

Fortunately, I heard a knock on the door. Whatever did that, I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Komachi stood up and opened the door, only to bring with her Kawasaki who looked equally shocked as me on seeing the unusual amount of people here.

I take it back. You don't deserve my appreciation.

She had changed into her casual clothing which consisted of a simple grey sweater and blue jeans. In her hand was a Sobu High Uniform Blazer, which I suppose belonged to me. I do remember that I gave her my blazer when she was drenched with sweat.

Ignoring the rest of the females in the room, she walked up to me and handed me the blazer, while simultaneously saying a meek 'thank you'.

This action must have infuriated the audience somehow, for the temperature of the room had drastically dropped so much that I'm practically freezing right now!

I swear I could feel the mass of cold sweat forming on my nape.

Kawasaki, on the other hand, didn't seem bothered by the weather in the room, and continued to do what she was doing; that is, handing back my blazer back and go home. Typical loner working antics. Go out. Do what you need to do. Go back. This is how the loners of this planet work. The damn riajuus, you ask?

Their plans are changing so damn much that not even the rulers of Imanity can predict what they do! Well, there's the part of leaving home, though the amount of the steps they take is countless.

She was just about to leave when she made a sudden halt. She started walking back towards me. Holding out her hand, she spoke,

"Taishi wanted to see the photos we clicked in the booth. You had my envelope, so give it to me." Oh, yeah. The photos, one of the causes that elicited several disasters today. I grabbed the envelopes from my pocket and handed one to her. She began to leave soon after without uttering a word. She headed towards the door and stopped. She opened the envelope and took a quick look at the contents; that was the process of genetic fusion between a human and a tomato. Utterly destroyed due to excessive discomfiture, she immediately left the place at light speed. The last photo must be an utter disaster, huh? The only question that hit my brain was, who the hell pushed us? From my partial vision, I could see Komachi grinning like an idiot.

So it was her and the bug. You've lost a ton of points for this, Komachi. I gave her the angriest glare I could muster, but it seems like my effort was to no avail.

"Onii-chan, show me the photos too! I'm sure Yui-san and Yukino-san would like to see it too!" Damn, you Komachi.

Of course, she had successfully brought the attention of the trio back to me, and that was not the good type of attention. Ladies and gentlemen, I am fucking cornered.

"Hikigaya-kun, will you please show us the photos?" Yukinoshita said, her voice sounding as frosty as ever.

"Hikki, show me the photos. You said you were not dating, so there should be nothing wrong in those right? RIGHT?" God if you are done with having fun, please revert Yuigahama back to her normal self. Please? These two are too much for me to handle.

The two Y's in the room started walking towards me. Can this situation get any crazier?

Instinctively, I took a step backwards in order to maintain the distance that was between me and the two monsters in front of me. I'm sure they had an incomplete transformation, or else they wouldn't have been this crazy. Soon, due to the miniature construct of the Hikigaya household, I hit the wall; the two showing no intent in slowing down.

Right now, the situation I am in, defines the phrase of being stuck between a well and a valley, you have to make an escape or you die, or much worse, freeze to death. If I give them the photos, I get frozen, and if I don't, I still get frozen.

The only way out here is…

"Yukinoshita, Yuigahama, look! There's a giant insect on the wall!" I frantically shouted. The two rotated their necks to look at the wall I was pointing at, and, using that opportunity, I made a run for it. Running on the stairs, I saw that I was being tailed by none other than the ice queen herself. From the corner of my eye, I saw Yuigahama breaking out of her trance as she also started to chase me. As soon as I reached the top stair, I heard a noise; a noise of someone's footwear breaking and before I knew it, I was running back down in order to prevent Yukinoshita from hitting the ground.

…

I had literally jumped to catch Yukinoshita and preventing her head from hitting the ground, but in doing so, I lost my balance and hit the floor.

Falling on a base may not hurt most people that much, but falling with an extra weight on your side, you can be sure of the day not ending well.

Coming back to the situation at hand, with my back aching as hell, I saw the red faced Yukinoshita lifting her head to look at me. Also, to mention, even if she was merely kneeling by my side, her face was considerably close to mine. A little less distance, and her breath would be mixing with mine. If I was not in that pain, this would have been a really hellish awkward situation.

"Are y-you alright, Hikigaya-kun?" Well to be honest, I'm not.

Soon after, Komachi came running towards me and turned into a crying mess.

"I'm fine, just help me to the couch please." I feel bad for using them like this, but it was the only move I could do in order to avoid their… inquiry.

They came to my side, helped me up, and seated me on the couch. I felt my muscles relax and the tension dissipate out of my body. Involuntarily, I let out a sigh of relief. Out of nowhere, Nozaki grabbed my leg and twisted it with a crazy amount of force which made my back make a cracking sound and sent a beyond massive amount of pain to my back.

"What the hell, Nozaki!" The shout went answerless

In the next second, the pain was gone, including the original one due to falling.

"You will be fine now." Nozaki said in a calm tone.

I suppose Yukinoshita knew what Nozaki was doing, so she did not interrupt. Komachi was still a crying mess and Yuigahama was still beyond shocked by the chain of events that happened before her. But she recovered soon and getting the chance, pulled the envelope from my pocket.

She opened the envelope and was just about to pull the collage when her phone rang, alerting her and the envelope slipped from her hand, falling into a cup of hot tea on the table, destroying the photo.

Was that for real? Yuigahama really dropped it on the tea? What kind of coincidence is that? Well, even so…

Thank you for being you, Gahama-san.

And thus, the incident of the photo ended with no one getting to see the photo and me getting hurt. Not a bad deal, I say.

The look on the faces of Yuigahama and Yukinoshita were totally fucking hilarious. Yuigahama was totally facing the wrath of the ice queen right now, while me and Nozaki along with Komachi, laugh our asses off.

The day finally ended when the guests went back home, with me in no condition to walk them home as any attempt at movement sent pain throughout my body, but Nozaki said I would be fine by the next morning. Yukinoshita borrowed some of my mom's footwear as the ones that Komachi had didn't fit her at all.

After they left, I managed to climb up the stairs to my room with the help of my little sister, and laid down on the bed. Thank god for Nozaki and her karate, or I would have seriously got a fracture of some sorts. Komachi was all the time making a guilty face while sitting next to me on the bed when suddenly a light bulb glowed above her head.

"Onii-chan, did you eat dinner before coming home?" asked my very impatient and cute little sister.

"No, I didn't." I replied as I looked up to ponder. The next second, she ran downstairs and was back with a plate full of curry rice.

What happened next, paid for all the shit that the rom-com gods made me suffer, but also, they paid way too much so I think that I owe them now.

Komachi grabbed a spoon and started feeding me. The best thing that happened to me for a long, long time. Damn, I couldn't ask for more!

Hey guys and gals sorry for the late update. I want to declare something here that I am on a writer's block on the clean slate. Not something I am happy about, I really wanted to push out a chapter for all you readers. It would take some time to overcome it. The only thing good about it is that, I would put all my attention to this fic. A bit faster updates if you say.

Beta Reader A/N: *wink*

No, honestly, I'm just really tired. Beta reading is one, and I have a very long project in my school. Actually, I have two. You won't need to know it, but one is academics and one is for aerobics. So here you are with another chapter.
