A.N. I blame school. Tell me what you think of it. I'm sorry if this isn't good enough.

If you would ask Isogai Yuuma to describe his girlfriend in one word, he wouldn't say beautiful nor intelligent.
Though those words described her quite well, there are just more reasons for him to say that his girlfriend, Akabane Kayo, was quite unique.
…
The first reason was that time Kayo saw Yuuma wearing his uniform during his part-time job .
She was expected to fangirl and to constantly glare at any girl who so much looked his way (she did later on but nobody needs to know) but she was surprisingly subdued.
The morning after she visited his part time job, she didn't interact with anyone. She just quietly sat on her chair and hid her face in her hands. Some people, like Nagisa and Kayano, asked if she was alright. Not bothering to look, she answered them with a thumbs up. Karma told them that she might just be sleepy.
Starting to worry for Kayo, Yuuma quietly asked if she was alright.
She lifted her head up and looked at him. She gestured to him to come closer.
He crouched down in front of her table and leaned closer to her, probably expecting a kiss. Instead, she cupped his ear with her hands and whispered:
"You looked nice yesterday. During your part time job. Like always."
Sure, he was embarrassed, but she worried him just because of that?
He glanced at her and saw that she was smiling to herself.
How could he stay angry at her?
Maehara asked why he was smiling all day.
…
The next reason was that time Kayo borrowed his notebook in Social Studies.
She asked if she can use a a red pen to write other details in there.
Of course, Yuuma agreed. What can red ink do, right?
The next day, she profusely apologized after saying that his notebook had red ink on almost each page.
He said that he didn't mind at all. It was still just red ink.
During class, he opened his notebook and saw that what she wrote made his notes easier to understand.
He flipped the pages and searched for anything she might have left in between the pages. He reached the last page of the notebook and in bold red letters, it said:
I can't stop thinking about you. Why can't I get you out of my head?
He never thought that red ink can affect him so much.
The people near Yuuma were wondering why his face was as bright as his girlfriend's hair.
…
The last reason was that time he found that poem she wrote him.
He was at home studying for an exam when a random folded piece of paper fell from his notebook.
"What's this?" He asked himself.
Curious to what was written inside, he opened it and saw that the red ink said:
Yuuma,
I think of you before I sleep.
I think I'm just falling too deep.
I think it would just be better
If we stay this way forever.
Also,
Your smile when you are with a friend,
Just makes my heart beat to no end.
All these moments I spend with you
Makes me feel like my dreams came true.
He wondered how she got this in his Japanese Literature notebook. He wondered if she wrote this poem while she was bored during class. (He also wondered if that specific time was when Koro-Sensei suddenly turned pink while teaching and Kayo proceeded to shoot him while shouting 'Don't read it!') But most importantly he wondered if she was thinking of him that night.
His brother asked why Yuuma wasn't listening to his story about how he answered the really hard question his teacher asked. His mother asked if he was unwell because his face was red. It was a good thing that his family believed his excuse that he was tired.
…
He would say that his girlfriend, Akabane Kayo, was quite unique.
Some people would ask what Yuuma meant by that but he would just answer them with a shrug and a cute smile.
Since you know the reasons, you would understand why.
