Chapter Whatever: In Which Kanako Actually Asks Some Reasonable Questions
Alternate Title: This Is Probably The Closest Thing They Ever Had To A Normal Afternoon
Kanako and Mariya's room was always lively, with screams and laughter being heard from behind the door for much of the day. The inhabitants of Girl's Dorm Two had long stopped wishing for quiet, peaceful afternoons, instead appreciating the silence on one of the rare occasions the dorm was completely quiet.
Inside their room was silence, Kanako attempting to finish her homework and Mariya wordlessly lying on his bed, headphones covering his ears connected to the phone in his hand.
Kanako was never one for silence. It felt suffocating to her, every moment building upon the pressure on her shoulders, daring her to break the moment of silence.
And so she did.
"Hey, Mariya," The taller girl called out, shattering the quiet moment entirely. "I have a question."
The blonde briefly looked up from his phone, shooting a glare at the older girl. Kanako decided to interpret that as both a confirmation that he was listening and a sign to keep going.
"Why do you torture me so much anyways?" Kanako asked casually, as if she was asking about her abandoned algebra rather than the strange, love-and-hate relationship the two seemed to have.
Mariya didn't respond, either not hearing through his headphones, or not caring.
Irritated, Kanako rose, making her way to Mariya's bed. She reached towards Mariya's headphones, ready to grab them and scold him for ignoring her...
...before retracting her hand quickly, remembering that Mariya was not the kind girl he appeared to be, but a boy, and would make her break out into hives at the slightest touch.
Mariya saw the gesture, amused by Kanako's forgetfulness. He sat up and removed his headphones, grinning slightly.
"Huh? Is there something bothering you, Kanako?" Mariya asked sweetly, raising his voice into the falsetto he always used when pretending to be a female.
"Yes," Kanako replied bluntly. "Did I ever do anything to make you hate me and stuff? Or am I just the poor, unfortunate victim of your sadist kink?"
"Do you want to die?" Mariya asked threateningly, his grin replaced by a glare.
"See, you're doing it again," Kanako replied. "I just don't get it. Do you just like insulting me and stuff, or do you actually hate me?"
"I'm not answering that question," Mariya huffed, crossing his arms over his chest. Unfortunately, Kanako missed the pink dusting his cheeks.
"Aha! So you do have a sadist kink!" Kanako declared triumphantly.
"What the hell?! Don't misinterpret my reactions like that!" Mariya yelled as he tossed his pillow at the taller girl.
"How else am I supposed to interpret them if you refuse to answer my question?!" Kanako retorted as she shielded her face from the projectile. The pillow bounced off her arms harmlessly, falling to the floor.
"Just forget about it like you forget about your homework!" Mariya shot back.
"I did not forget! I just wanted to know before I went back to do it!"
"Like hell you did. Your brain doesn't have the ability to think about more than one thing at once, so you probably just forgot about it the moment you entered the conversation," The younger boy spat out.
"Shut up!"
"Is that the best you can come up with? How pathetic," Mariya sneered.
Kanako grabbed the pillow off the floor and hit Mariya with it.
Kanako did not have time to regret her hasty decision, because Mariya grabbed the other pillow off his bed, screamed a war cry and began his mission to beat her to death with a pillow. The older girl tried her best to respond with a few hits of her own, but Mariya's flurry of attacks were so fast, there was no way Kanako could hope to attack and defend at the same time.
Kanako sank to her knees as she attempted to fend off the attack. Mariya hopped off the bed and grinned as he brought the pillow up for a final blow.
The older girl smiled as she slammed a leg into the back of Mariya's knees, causing the boy to crumple to the ground. Not letting the opportunity go to waste, Kanako quickly grabbed Mariya's pillow, trying to steal the cushion from him.
Mariya was not one to give up. Even in his disoriented state, he kept a tight hold on the cushion, not allowing Kanako to take away his pillow.
The two tugged it back and forth, neither wanting to admit defeat to the other, until Kanako mustered all her strength into one good pull...
And Mariya was sent flying into her chest.
"Ouch..." Kanako moaned as her back hit the floor.
Mariya groaned in pain as he pushed himself off of Kanako-
And both parties promptly froze upon noticing the suggestive position they were in.
The rare silence surrounding the dorms was broken by a loud screech.
"GET OFF ME YOU PERVERT!"
"YOU'RE THE PERVERT, DUMBASS! AND STOP SUFFOCATING ME WITH YOUR BAGS OF FAT!"
"THEN GET OFF! I'M GETTING HIVES AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!"
Mariya pushed himself into a sitting position, face still bright red. Kanako scrambled away from him, her face a matching shade of scarlet.
"There, are you happy now?" Mariya demanded, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Of course not!" The raven-haired girl shot back. "I wanted the first person touch my boobs to be a beautiful woman, not you!"
"It's not like I wanted to!" Mariya retorted. "Who would want to touch a pervert like you there anyways?!"
"The humans on Earth who appreciate a good pair of breasts, that's who!" Kanako stuck out her tongue, smug expression on her face as she continued. "You're just jealous because that was your first and only opportunity to grope someone and you passed it up."
"What else was I supposed to do with you screaming at me?" Her roommate inquired rhetorically.
"Spend a few seconds basking in between two huge boobs before getting off," Kanako answered, despite Mariya's question being rhetorical.
"I am disgusted by you and your entire being," Mariya stated in disgust.
"Aha!" The older girl declared, pointing a finger at Mariya dramatically. "So you do hate me!"
"You're still going on about that?!" Mariya cried out in disbelief.
"Of course! That was my entire mission in this chapter!" Kanako confirmed.
"More like you didn't want to do your homework..." The blonde muttered under his breath.
"Hey! That has nothing to do with you hating me!" Kanako protested.
"I don't!" Mariya yelled.
"You don't?" The big-breasted girl asked in confusion.
Mariya's face became an even brighter shade of red as he spoke.
"Of course not. Why would I be nice to you if I hated you?"
"For your own amusement," Kanako responded immediately. Mariya fought the urge to hit something when he heard her answer.
"I can count the number of times I've been nice to anyone on two hands, and none of those times were for my own amusement," Mariya stated, even counting off his fingers to prove it.
"Seven times," Mariya announced.
"Wait, seriously?" Kanako asked, confusion clear on her face. "I thought it would be lower than that..."
"The time I gave Shizu a teddy bear, not firing Rindou and Matsurika, saving you from humiliation at Sachi's birthday party, throwing a party for you, being nice to your sister, letting Rindou trap me for once and giving you a birthday present," Mariya listed.
"The last one doesn't count!" Kanako insisted. "I don't even know why you kissed me, but you probably enjoyed see me freak out about the hives after!"
"You're an idiot!" The younger boy yelled, crossing his arms as his cheeks grew redder by the second. "Why would someone kiss you if they weren't in love with you?!"
"It's you. You enjoy seeing me panic," Kanako retorted instantly, before realizing what her roommate had just said. "What?"
"I'm. In. Love. With. You," Mariya hissed, pausing between each word to emphasize the entire sentence to the raven-haired girl.
Once again, the fragile silence that had fallen over the dorms was shattered by an ear-piercing screech.
This idea was submitted by Shizzzam.
Sorry if the end seems a bit abrupt, I wanted to leave what happened afterwards to be up to the reader, so there you go!
Hope you enjoy it, have a nice day/night/whatever, and see you next update! :D
