Dont own Oregairu

Scene 9: Defending

Pairing: Hikio x Miura

"Oh, wait till I get my hands on Tobe! He will be in a world of pain, when I am done with him"

"Let it go Miura. It wasn't his fault"

Miura huffed loudly at Hikigaya. She was scared out of her life because Tobe had gone out and pissed of their over sensitive homeroom teacher and now somehow she had decided to take out her anger on her entire class by torturing them with loud outbursts which she topped off with a huge ton of homework that had to be submitted the very next day.

"And just explain to me how it isn't his fault, Hikio." She asked rather crossly, "He almost had us killed!"

"You would have been safe Miura" he said blandly.

"Huh? But how" she asked in confusion.

"I would have found out a way to get you out of that situation" he said simply.

Miura blushed. Hikio was actually worried about her safety when their sensei had gone full brezerker mode. That felt nice.

"Still, Tobe did a stupid thing" she repeated with a pout.

"Of course he did. That's why he is Tobe" he replied blandly.

Miura glared at him in annoyance, " Why are you getting so worked up over defending Tobe. Did you two become best friends when I wasn't looking?"

Hikigaya blanched visibly at her words, "Me and Tobe? Friends? I would rather become best buddies with Yukinoshita Haruno"

Miura scowled at hearing this name, "Now who the hell is she Hikio?"

"A demon" he replied with a straight face.

Miura wondered whether he was telling her the truth or not but she decided to let the matter drop, well, at least for now.

"Hikio you evaded my question. You still didn't tell me why I should not be angry with Tobe." She asked tersely.

"Well like I said Miura, he is an idiot and also he was worried about Ebina. You know she was sick right? And she had to be taken to the infirmary" he blushed over the memory of what actually happened and what he did to her in the infirmary. As far as he was concerned no one else would learn that particular detail from him, "Anyway, like I was saying she was in the infirmary and Tobe wanted to see her to know if she was alright or not. I don't think he did anything tremendously bad"

"He could have waited like the rest of us, you know?" Miura argued.

"Well, he loves her and we have already established that he is an idiot so I guess, he gets a free pass" Hikigaya shrugged his shoulders, "All is fair in love and war, they say."

Miura blushed at his words. She was already imagining Hikio and her in a similar situation and it made her feel...gross.

"No!No!No!" Miura shook her head vigorously and a dark blush covered her cheeks, "I don't care what you think! Tobe is going to pay" Miura seethed.

Hikigaya involuntarily took a step back from her.

'Maybe I shouldn't have given her my number after all' he thought.
