Aomine Daiki's P.O.V.

Kurosaki Rei. Just what in the world are you? Attacking me with your endless confessions every now and then, begging me to fall in love with you. And then the moment I realize that I've started to feel something for you … you throw a bomb in my face.

'I don't like you anymore' you say? … I can't find myself to believe that.

After classes were over, I wasn't in the mood to go home. I felt like going to the rooftop. It helps me relax and think when I rest there. I was surprised to see him there. I could only see a part of his face. He looked ... sad.

What is he thinking about?

It pissed me off … why couldn't he act like the normal idiot monkey that I know. Anyways, I'm extremely pissed off at him right now. So I asked him.

"What are you doing here?!"

He was surprised to see me. I waited for him to reply.

"I …" He lowered his gaze.

"I …" He frowned.

Whatever, he's probably going to say more crap about not liking me. I don't feel like hearing it.

"Never mind, don't bother. I don't really care anymore. Just get out of my napping spot."

I didn't mean to make it sound cruel, but it did. I can tell because of his face expression. He looked like he was about to cry. He ran off before I could say anything else. I lied down on the ground and tried to sleep it off but couldn't … damn it!

I want him to bother me like he usually does.

Screw this. I got up and decided to look for him. I'm gonna put an end to his stupidity! I'm going to make him say he loves me even if I have to force it out of his mouth.

About 5 to 10 minutes passed by and I couldn't find him anywhere. Did he leave already? I sighed. Oh, I forgot to check his class! I ran as fast as I could to reach there and when I did, I felt a sharp pain in my chest at what I saw.

Rei, was crying. And that Yanagi bastard was patting his head. Who gave him the permission to touch him?!

"Don't fuckin' touch him, you bastard."

They both looked at me in surprise. I made my way to them, and held Rei's wrist. "You're coming with me, right now!" I felt a sharp glare come from Yanagi. I pulled Rei up from his seat and glared back at Yanagi. "Where do you think you're taking him?" Yanagi asked.

"It's none of your damned business, so make sure you don't get in my way." I then looked at Rei. "Let's go" I started dragging him out of the classroom, but was stopped by Yanagi who pulled Rei back by gripping the back of his shirt. Then I heard him whistle.

"You're as scary as they say, Aomine-Sempai~"

Kurosaki Rei's P.O.V.

Right now, I'm seriously freaking out. Daiki and Keisuke are having a staring contest! I'm serious! They're just glaring at each other without saying anything at all, and they've been at it for 2 minutes!

I have to do something about it! I looked at Daiki. "U-Ummm … let's just go to-" I was interrupted by the both of them.

"You stay out of it!"

Creepy! They were totally in sync! Just after they were done with their glaring contest, I felt Daiki's hand hold my wrist again. "Let go of his shirt right now." Keisuke smirked. "Why should I?"

The air around Daiki suddenly felt so … scary. He tightened his grip on my wrist. "This is your last warning kid, let him go now." Keisuke chuckled. "Let him go now or what? I'm not afraid of y-" In a split second, Keisuke was kicked in the gut.

He fell to the floor and started coughing. "K-Keisu-" I was interrupted by Daiki. "Come with me, now!" I looked back at Keisuke who was still coughing. I wanted to at least help him up.

"What? Are you on his side?!" Of course not! I shook my head. "Good, then let's go."

We went back to the rooftop. I heard him sigh.

"Seriously Rei, you're way too much of a drag for me." I opened my mouth to reply but he put his hand over my mouth to cover it. "Let me finish!" I blinked at him in astonishment and nodded.

"You …" I waited for him to continue.

...

"Are you an idiot?!"

HUH!? I thought he was going to say something serious! I glared at him.

"Don't you dare give me that look! You … don't you ever say words that you don't mean ever again! You can annoy me, bother me, piss me off, hug me, and confess to me … as much as you want. But don't ever say that … you don't like me anymore." My eyes softened.

It's not like I wanted to say it.

"I'm not … usually patient enough to put up with an annoying monkey like you that likes to cling on to me. I normally hate clingy people. I usually waste my day either sleeping or looking at magazines of Mai-chan. But now … All I do is waste the entire day thinking about an idiot like you and it pisses me off. But anyways … you get what I'm saying, right?"

I was too dumbfounded to move. That, definitely sounded like a confession … right? My face flushed. "So tell me, why is it that you were avoiding me?" He removed his hand from my mouth.

"I …" I don't know where to start. Daiki sighed again.

"If you stay this quiet, I might really start to believe that you don't like me anymore. Oh or maybe that you like Yanagi-" I interrupted him. "I don't like him! The one I like is-" I covered my mouth. I really can't lie to him anymore.

I …

"Rei?"

I …

"I really miss you … I want to be with you … I want to hug you … I want to hold hands with you … I really love you … The one I like is you!"

I was sobbing. I couldn't hold it in anymore. I was rubbing my eyes and then saw Daiki cover his face with his hand. "W-What's wrong?" I reached his hand and moved it away to see his face. My eyes widened.

He's … blushing.

"Dai..ki?"

In a split second, I was being hugged.

"Eh?" I was surprised at first but I hugged him back. Then I felt his hand move from my back all the way to my hand, and held it.

"We're hugging right now, and we're holding hands … So why does it have to be the other way? Why do you have to avoid me?"

I lowered my gaze.

"K-Kei..su..ke" I stuttered.

He raised an eyebrow. "What about that bastard?" I frowned.

"I've known Keisuke before he transferred here. 4 years ago, we attended the same school … I don't know what it was that I did to bother him, but it's like, he hated me right off the bat. He was capable of doing things like … making my friends hate me, and he was good at it. So … I was scared that … if he knew about you, that he would maybe-" Daiki interrupted me.

"You thought that he could make me hate you?" I nodded.

"Seriously Rei …"

I waited for him to continue.

"Are you an idiot?!"

My face flushed with embarrassment. "I'm being serious here!" He sighed. "Do you think that I would fall for his crap? I'm not an idiot. Besides to you I …" I blushed.

"Anyways, isn't it late? I'll walk you home, so let's go." I nodded. We walked out of school and started heading home. I suddenly paused.

"What is it Rei?"

Why do I feel like I forgot something?

"No it's nothing. I just felt like I forgot about someth- DETENTION!"
