"Jacket Jealousy"
"Whose jacket is that?"
He asked, and the way Gou pulled the garment tighter around her body only added fuel to the (very nearly out of control) flame.
She could not think of how to frame her answer in a way that would pacify him, so blundered through an explanation instead:
"Ah you see, Ai and they guys were getting pretty into the water gun fight and — and, well evidently I got caught in the line of fire so… Sousuke-kun let me borrow this until…"
She could see that he had stopped listening to her when Haru's eyes narrowed and glared out into the crowd of festival patrons with murderous intent.
Gou flinched when he turned that gaze on her in that white Samezuka jacket: with its shoulders too large on her slight frame and it's arms falling past her fingertips, all baggy and cute.
Without another word, Haru removed his own school blazer and loosened his tie.
It had gotten wet from his earlier activities but his shirt was still dry, and it took Gou a moment to realise that he was offering it to her in place of the jacket, even when he began unbuttoning the shirt from his collar down.
She grabbed at his wrists before the second-to-last button.
"Haruka-senpai!" Gou lowered her voice to an urgent whisper. "What are you doing? People are staring!"
Accustomed to the occasional display of public nudity, Haruka raised a brow at her and simply replied:
"So?"
"T—There's no need! I—I'm almost dry now and—and I'll give it back so just…!"
Even as Gou stared up at him pleadingly, Haru frowned.
"I should have told you a long time ago," he said. "I don't really like him."
"Why?"
She blinked, so innocently that pink spots appeared on his cheeks.
Haru's gaze slid to the side, unable to look her in the eye as he admitted to such sentiments.
"When it comes to you, I can be a little possessive…"
Grinning wide, Gou tugged at his shirt and pulled him down for a kiss — right in front of the group of freshman girls enjoying the free strip tease from her boyfriend and eagerly anticipating more.
She heard them whine and scurry away as they parted.
"It's ok," Gou smiled, against his lips. "So am I."
