"Hey Mika," Yuu said as he knocked on his door. It kind of defeated the purpose of knocking on the door, but it was wide open and Yuu could see Mika sitting on the floor with papers scattered all over the floor. "You have a second?"
"Um, do I need to get up?" Mika looked up from his spot. He was surrounded but it wasn't impossible to leave if he needed to.
"I just wanted to ask you something."
"Sure! What is it?" Mika said with his usual smile.
Yuu mentally cursed. 'How could someone be so cute?'
"I was wondering if you're busy on Saturday. There's a new movie that came out and it seems like something you would like."
"Saturday? I ah…" Mika looked around but didn't seem to find what he was looking for. Yuu spotted his phone on top of the dresser.
"Looking for your phone?" Mika looked over to Yuu and sighed in relief seeing his phone in Yuu's hands.
"Yes, I forgot where I put it."
"Here," Yuu said and tossed it to Mika, who caught it with ease. He opened his phone and checked his calendar. Yuu noticed how Mika's brows furrowed as he stared at the screen. "Busy?"
"I um..."
"How about Sunday then?"
"That sounds great!" Mika said and smiled brightly. Yuu coughed as he pushed back a blush that threatened to surface.
"I'll stop bothering you then." Yuu turned on his heel to leave but Mika called out to him. A smile pulled onto his face but he dropped it as he turned back to Mika. "What is it?"
"We're having a study session on Saturday. I know you usually study alone, but you're more than welcome to join us!"
"It wasn't me that they invited," Yuu replied before walking away. He ignored Mika's calls as he entered his room and closed the door.
He sat down at his computer as he put on headphones and played music.
Yuu didn't need anyone else. He had Akane and Mika. It was enough for him. It was trivial to try to leave good impressions on other people.
It will only become more of a hassle to think about so many people.
Akane wasn't someone he could push away, especially when they grew up together. She was the only person that could share in his memories of his mother. She understood him more than anyone else.
Then there was Mika, who somehow weaseled his way into Yuu's life and heart. Damn, he feels embarrassed just thinking about it.
"Yuu-chan!" Mika exclaimed, loud enough that Yuu could hear him through the music blasting into his ears. He paused the music and took off his headphones. "So I was just talking to-"
"Did I say you can come into my room?" Yuu asked and Mika's face paled slightly. He took a few steps backwards and stood at the doorway.
"Can I come in?"
"What did you want?" Yuu asked and Mika clicked on something on his phone.
"Everyone would be happy if you joined us on Saturday," Mika said and held out his phone. Yuu stood up from his chair and walked over to take the phone from Mika to read the messages.
He recognized a few names from their class, then there was Kishimoto and Seno. Yuu knew he would not hear the end of it from Kishimoto if he went, but he was already fired up and more than ready to drag Yuu to their study group session. Unfortunately, he knew where Yuu lived because he was the vice-captain, and he didn't need the blabbermouth to know that he was living with Mika.
"Fine, I'll come. What do I need to bring?" Yuu asked as he handed the phone back to Mika. But Mika only looked back at him with a smile. "What? Is there something on my face?"
"No, everyone was just saying that Yuu-chan doesn't come out to these study sessions so I was really happy that Yuu-chan agreed."
"Stupid," Yuu said as he gently bonked Mika on the head before turning around and hiding his smile. "Go back to your room before your papers get messed up."
"Okay! And you can bring any study material you want on Saturday. It's more of an independent study where we ask each other for help, so anything you want to work on will be the work you bring with you," Mika said before he skipped back to his room.
Yuu was more than confident in his studies. But he supposed he could humor Mika and Kishimoto this once.
If anything, he's looking forward to Saturday since he'll be spending time with Mika before Sunday comes. Yuu needed to mentally prepare for that.
~ Look at Me and Smile ~
"Wow, this weekend was the best," Mika said as he stretched his arms. "I get to spend time with our classmates yesterday and watch a movie and eat dinner with Yuu-chan today."
"You sound like we never eat together."
"You've been staring at your book or work lately," Mika pouted. "Even though we had the study group yesterday, you were already studying beforehand."
"Isn't that how you study?"
"... I don't know."
Yuu laughed. He didn't notice Mika not following him and looked back to see Mika with a surprised expression. Yuu looked behind him but there was nothing there. "Are you okay?" Yuu asked as he walked back to Mika, "You're scaring me."
"You laughed," Mika whispered, but loud enough for Yuu to hear, "Yuu-chan laughed."
"What, I always do that?" Yuu said before he realized what he said. "Whatever, let's go."
"Wait," Mika said as he reached out for Yuu and held onto his hand. "Ah, sorry!" Mika let go but Yuu grabbed his hand again.
"Come on, let's go," Yuu said and pulled Mika along with him. "You wanted an answer to your confession right?"
"Is this my answer?" Mika asked meekly. He was scared for a second when Yuu paused, but he didn't have enough time to think when Yuu turned around and pressed his lips against Mika's.
His eyes went wide as Yuu pulled back with a smirk. "That's your answer. Now come on, it's getting colder."
"Okay," Mika said with a warm smile and squeezed Yuu's hand as they walked back to their apartment.
