Hello all! With the start of season 3 I decided to start writing the PART II of my story! So what's to come? The election, who is the winner? What will happen between Miura and Hachiman? What about the marathon? What will happen for the christmas event? You'll know starting from this week. Part II is starting and I'll focus on it !

Also I decided to start a big project. I'm drawing this fanfic into a manga version! I already drew the whole introduction and the very start of chapter 1. It's 3 panels in length and I'm still working on it. Also I made some new arts about Yumiko and one you will love. You can find me on google with "pixiv 45760059 G.A.O" or you can search me on Twitter with G_A_O_ART

You are free to use them for your stories or personal use!

Hachiman walked up the stairs with conflicted feelings. He had a hunch about where Yumiko was. He just replied to her that he was coming. He heard the word 'confession'. You don't need to be a genius to understand what it meant and where it was done. Riajuus were very cliché.

Hikigaya's heart was a mess at the moment. Yuigahama, Yukinoshita, Haruno's meddling... He did not know what he was feeling anymore. One thing was for sure. Pain and fear was all he could feel.

Hachiman did not know if he still loved Yukino or not but learning that Miura got confessed to made him feel sick. Not because he wanted to be the one to do it but because she told him that she might still have feelings for that one man, Hayama Hayato.

Reaching the rooftop door, he pushed it open nonchalantly and there she was fidgeting with her necklace while her hair flew like golden thread in the crimson hue because of the evening wind.

"Miura."

"Hikio! You came! So what do you think I should do?"

"Do you really need me to make that decision? I should not be the one to tell you what you want."

"Why don't you want to give me your opinion? You're not helping me there!"

"Listen Miura... Either listen to your head or your heart, I can't choose for you. Just keep in mind what he did to you. That's all I can say. Whatever you decide to do, I will respect it as long as you accept the consequences coming with it." Said Hikigaya looking at the ground, hiding his eyes with the hue and his hair.

Yumiko watched him and felt that he was strange right now. He seemed helpless and lost to her.

"Hikio? What is it? Why are you looking so miserable right now? Is it because Hayato confessed to me?"

"Not at all, actually I don't even know what I should feel after talking to Yukinoshita and then I come across Hayama who was on the phone with Haruno. Gosh, I really don't know what to think anymore either."

"So we're both in a dilemma huh?"

"Seems like it."

"Let's do it your way then Hikio."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Let's analyze the other's situation and then think about it ourselves to come to a conclusion."

"You really know my methods by now. Seems like you caught the Hikigerma. Take care or your eyes might become that of a dead fish.

They both chuckled a bit before staring at each other with seriousness.

"Who starts?"

"I'll start Hikio. Who is Yukinoshita for you?"

"She is... She was someone I felt close with. Someone with whom I had a connection I never had with anybody before."

"Do you love her?"

"Wh- That's not how it is supposed to work Miura. You can't ask those things out of the blue."

"Answer me Hikio."

"I do love her..."

"I see..."

The two fell in a heavy silence while thinking for themselves. Yumiko seemed downcast for a split second before thinking hard.

"She was your first 'real' love without any misunderstanding right?"

"I... Guess we can say it like that."

"It's hard to give up on your first love right? Now you understand why it's hard for me."

"Yeah right sorry... My turn. What do you feel when you think about him?"

"… I'm conflicted. He's my first love, and he's the one who used me like a tool."

"Do you think he's playing with you at the moment?"

"Yes... Yet I'm not sure."

"Bear in mind he was with Haruno on the phone and Haruno was the one who diffused the video. Also, you know him and her hang out sometimes."

"This means it was all fake again..." Said in a weak voice Yumiko who realized the mistake she could have made.

"… Say Hikio. Why is it so hard to trust and be loved fairly?"

"If I had the answer I wouldn't be here today sadly."

Miura approached Hikigaya silently while the latter was looking at the ground. He did not see her but felt two cold hands envelop his right hand. The coldness felt warm.

"I don't even know what I'm feeling you know. It's a mess in my heart but I know one thing. I don't hate you."

"So you're telling me 'why not try it out between broken people'. This doesn't seem like a good idea to me. It's not..."

"Genuine. I know it's not. It may not even be love but so far love has only hurt us... I wanna try to build a relationship that might turn into something special instead of chasing an impossible concept. What do you say Hikio? I want to try it with you. Even if it does not work we won't be hurt because we knew what we chose to experience."

Hachiman looked at her directly in the eyes. He was gauging her determination and her eyes never faltered. She was serious and insecure, but she had this look that said that she will not back down. It pushed him to take a risky step.

"If I was to say yes and go along with you. What do you think will happen? I may have become a bit more popular but I'm still Hikigaya Hachiman, the one who made Sagami cry. You will receive strange looks and people will talk behind your back while rumors spread."

"I'm already in this state you know. Going out with you won't change much for me. I'm still aggressive enough to scare them off. Also, you're gonna be the next president for sure, who would stand against you then." She said with a smirk that told him many mischievous ideas.

"Well... Your logic is quite something but it's not so far off reality. Love has always been something that came back with full force in my face and even though I still harbor feelings for her, I told Yukinoshita that it was the end of anything there was between us. I don't think that I'm ready to love anytime soon but I'm willing to give it a try with you and see where it will bring us... I don't dislike you at all after all." He said with a tinge of pink on his cheek while showing her his moon crescent necklace with his left hand.

Surprised and a bit taken aback with his positive answer, Yumiko switched to a crimson color while shifting in place, embarrassed.

"Unfair! I wanted you to be the one to feel shy about it!"

"I'm not simple, I'm a pain in the ass."

"You sure are!"

"So? That's it? We're officially a couple in trial? As weird as it might sound?" Asked Hachiman.

"Seems like it." She said with a small smile without letting his hand go.

"Don't expect me to go all lovey-dovey or romantic though. I have no experience with that."

"Don't worry about it. I wouldn't even try without knowing what I'm involving myself with."

"Oi!"

Yumiko chuckled while she interlaced her left hand's fingers with his right hand's. She dragged him along while going down the stairs. Hachiman was not sure he made a smart choice but his instincts told him that nothing bad could happen anyway. So... Why not. Moreover, her hand made him feel a bit better with himself.

The two of them walked in the almost empty corridors, hand in hand. It was weird. Their pair was weird. Everything about the situation was bizarre. The loner and the queen. There were surprised looks, incredulous ones and some were disgusted but the both of them did not give a damn. This relationship that was still nothing was only a trial to maybe find that something they seek so much without all the problems involved with being in love with someone who may not return your feelings.

You could say that they were a couple of liars and hypocrites.

The finally reached the school gates where they passed someone leaned against the wall. Yumiko frowned and did not even look at this person. Hachiman however glared at the figure at the same time as him.

"So that's your choice... Haruno won't be happy."

Hachiman was not sure to whom he was talking to, but he had this flame in him to answer this statement will all the vigor he had left and his darkest glare.

"Haruno can be damned. She won't win."

"Don't say I didn't warn you Hikigaya..."

The new formed couple walked away on the street while Hayama Hayato decided to go back home, sighing.

"So, Miu-"

"Yumiko."

"Hmm?"

"Call me Yumiko from now on."

"That would be embarrassing to do."

"And if you don't you won't ever feel used to it. I already call you Hikio. I think that's enough."

"That's kind of unfair to be the only one to call you by your first name."

"You wouldn't like it if I did it."

"True."

"So? I'm waiting."

"Fine... So... Where are we going Mi- Y-Yumiko? Damn that's embarrassing. It has not even been an hour and it's already tiring."

"You're walking me home of course. Like a boyfriend should."

"What about my bike?"

"Should have thought about it before we exited the school."

"Tch. Quite bossy aren't you?"

"I'm told so quite a lot. But that's how I am. You need a bossy person to motivate you else you will choose the easiest way."

Hachiman grumbled to himself because she was right. There were only so much people outside his family that could make him do something he did not want to do. Hiratsuka-sensei, Yukinoshita before the events and Miura who scared him a lot before. She was still scary. Kawasomething was capable of that if her brother was being threatened too.

"You know you live in the opposite direction of my house so that will take a lot of time to go back home. I'll call Komachi to tell her I'll be late."

"Okay and don't worry I won't make you do this every day. I'm not that much of a monster. I just wanted to experience what it feels like to do this today..."

"Verdict?"

"It feels nice!" She said with a beaming smile.

Oi don't say things like that with such an obvious happiness, you made me skip a beat woman...

Hachiman called Komachi telling a little lie to her saying that he was working on his campaign. He did not like to lie to her, but he just couldn't drop a bomb like that on her else he won't ever hear the end of it tonight, and he was way too tired to handle her.

About twenty minutes later, the both of them arrived in front of the Miura's Household. Reluctantly, Yumiko let go of Hachiman's hand and walked to the door.

"Thank you for letting me be selfish Hikio, see you tomorrow."

"Sure. See you Miu- Yumiko."

As she was about to open the door, it opened itself with an older version of Miura who gave off a powerful housewife power. She had a side braid and a violet pullover.

"My my. If it isn't Hikio-kun. You sure work fast Yumi-chan!"

"M-Mom?!" Yelled Miura crimson red.

"Why don't you come inside, I wanted to talk with you since my daughter talked about you!"

"Erm... S-Sure I guess?"

It's not like I have room to argue there if she's the same as her. What have I gotten myself into.

Entering the house, Hachiman was now sitting on the couch in front of Alpha Miura and Beta Miura with a cup of tea.

"So you're the infamous trash of a human being who's going out with Yumi-chan?"

Hachiman deadpanned at Yumiko who looked away like she was innocent.

"Oh but don't worry she defended you with so much vigor when I told her the same things! It was like a young maiden defending her man from being badmouthed!"

"I-Is that so?" Said Hikigaya feeling his cheeks get warmer.

"M-mom. You're not obligated to tell him everything you know!"

"Yes yes of course. I was done teasing you dear. Now let's get serious a bit!" She said with that same dangerous smile.

"I want to know more about the man that will be her boyfriend for the time being. Who are you 'Hikio-kun'."

"My name is Hikigaya Hachiman from Class 2F in Sobu, same as your daughter. Pleased to meet you even if I didn't expect it to be so soon."

"What are your aspirations Hikigaya-kun? What do you want to become? What kind of person are you?"

"I... Honestly... I'm a lazy person. I hate working, 'to work is to lose' were my words to live by but... Now I try my best. I want to become the student council president. As to what I want to do. A teacher would be what I aspire at the moment."

"What do your parents do for a living?"

"They are corporate slaves, so I don't see them much, but they provide us with quite enough to live a nice life. Since we were by ourselves I was the one that took the charge to look after my sister Komachi when she was young so that she wouldn't feel lonely."

"Thank you Hikigaya-kun for answering me honestly."

"So... Did I pass the test? Or whatever it was?"

"I guess I'll allow you to be around her for the time being yes. You don't look like a malicious person or a liar to me."

"T-Thanks."

Yumiko who watched the whole had a tinge of pink on her face and pouted at her mother's behavior. It was kind of cute in its own way. This grumpy side of her.

"He's exactly like you told me Yumi-chan! A dependable trash of a human being!" Said the teasing mother.

"MOM!"

I wonder who is the mother honestly. Aren't this adult quite rude? Well I guess I know from whom she got her temper.

After quarreling a bit more. They all finished their tea and Miura-mama offered a ride home to Hachiman for the trouble she caused to which he accepted. Miura waved at him from the door frame. He waved back at her. She had a small smile on her face.

As she was driving, Miura-mama decided to strike a conversation.

"You know Hikigaya-kun. I'm sorry for earlier. I was rude but I needed to be sure that Yumi-chan chose a good man. She was a really anxious child. She always pressured herself to be at her best. Always doing this and that to get the attention of this 'Hayato'. I never met him, but he does not seem like that good of a man for ignoring my daughter's efforts."

"Well. I'll try my best not to hurt her. I can't promise anything though but I won't cheat."

"I like your honesty. You seem to be quite the logical person. With someone like you she may finally take it easy and go back to smiling a lot. Since she started to talk about you, she had this small smile that tells a lot. She's at ease with you, it seems. I don't know you well enough yet but if Yumi-chan accepted you then it's all the reasons I need to trust her."

Hachiman could only stay silent at those words. He couldn't tell her mother that they were both broken and decided to try out this trial relationship hoping that something special may appear as time passes.

Miura-mama dropped Hachiman off and waved at him before going back. Sighing deeply, Hikigaya entered his house where Komachi waited for him.

"You took your time Onii-chan. Were you really working on your campaign?"

"Yeah... Had a lot to plan and Hiratsuka-sensei wanted to talk to me about something related to Haruno."

"I see... But who dropped you off?"

"Hiratsuka-sensei."

"Okay then. Let's have dinner!"

"Right you are. I'm hungry as hell."

Hikigaya Komachi girl instinct told her he was lying about something because he was being different. Also, the perfume of another woman that was foreign to her was imprinted on his clothes.

Must be that Miura girl thought Komachi.
