Hey there, this is the first time I'm ever writing a fanfiction. To give you a brief description about the story, this is a crossover between Oregairu and Kanojo Okarishimasu. SPOILER: The story takes place after Vol 14 of the LN for Oregairu and Ch 181-182 of the Manga for Kanojo Okarishimasu. Some references from Oregairu shin are included. Honestly, I personally have no idea how it would go but I hope y'all would like it.
Vol-1: Ch-1
And finally, our new life begins-
Hachiman's POV-
Time is the master of all, time moves on, time does not wait for anyone. The last time I remember inciting my thoughts over working is equal to loosing would be at high school. Well, considering what I wanted to express was certainly not wrong, but at the same time it wasn't right as well however all that remains at present is the time where I can look back at how my high school life was really one heck of a rollercoaster. From a loner to having acquaintances, having arguments, facing hardships, getting hurt, embracing warmth, being loved, etc… but it does not end here, eventually I came to realise that people do change with time whether you like it or not. Time is an epitome of realism and either way around, no one can beat around the bush and change its dynamics.
What happened in the past is not something we could dwell on and what might happen in the future is not something an individual can stress over again and again, so in the end the present is the only time where we can change/edit/delete decisions that would be carried in the future. Well if I had to define time further on a personal level which could perceive dialogues then…..
"HACHIMAN!"
"Y-yes I'm listening.."
"Really, then would you kindly give me a brief description about what we were talking about a minute ago?"
"A-a-ah sorry, I was in deep thought"
"Sigh, If I had to guess then it definitely has to do with you reciting your monologues in you mind"
Wow that's scary…..Eek
"Stop reading my mind and tell me what were you saying before, Yukipedia."
"But don't you think it's your girlfriend/fiance's job to read your hikkibrain?"
A smirk appears on her face.
"You've definitely picked up this trait from me!"
If she picks up any other trait of mine then the 108 skills I've tried to sustain until now would go into smithereens! Nooooo…wait, You have other things up in your sleeves don't loose hope!
"But your traits can be very admiring"
A warm smile comes across her face while gazing towards me
Sigh, I lost. Way too high on Hachiman points!
Yes, this is our present right now. I, Hikigaya Hachiman and my partner Yukinoshita Yukino are finally college students. Well to summarise in short about how we ended up having a much stronger bond than it already was after what we promised to each other during my dinner with the yukinoshita's minus Yuki papa. Wait, the way I mentioned Yukino's family sounded as if I'm promoting a mainstream reality show. How corny and disgusting! Well keeping aside my personal ranting, during my dinner with the yukinoshita's, I finally made a resolve to tell Yuki mom about our relationship and how I wish to continue associating with Yukino and the yukinoshita's if the possibility ever arises. Even if they oppose the idea of me associating with the youngest member of their family, I will go beyond lengths and take detours to come back to her because I have always tried avoiding and running away from whatever that came at my face.
But I had made up my mind that day that I would choose a path that is 'genuine' to me despite of the possibility of our group to be torn apart that we treasured. However surprising to me Yuki mom did not oppose the idea of me dating Yukino because of the outcome I presented to her. This is where the hint of Yukino telling me about her mama sama being fond of me came to my mind at that time. Well, there you have it…. or maybe what I should've told you but here it gets a little tricky. The next day after the dinner, Yuigahama confessed to me directly after the club ended back at our way home however, I directly rejected her and also made it clear the other day to my foxy kouhai as well as my imoto to not meddle in our relationship we strived to build with our courage and honesty. They did have their justifications but in the end of the day it got resolved resulting into some internal turmoil for a while but it ended up strengthening our bonds further. They eventually came to realise that doubting our relationship was wrong and eventually gave in.
As for now, the both of us got engaged over the time and moved in together in Chyoda-ku, Tokyo recently in order to attend our university close by. Well if you personally ask me about all of this, I feel as if I'm the one on the receiving end here….heh! But before moving in, we had our own set of challenges. Well…umm most of it was financially related but was resolved at the cost of me giving up my dream of a house husband. Internships and professional work experience within my specialized field gave me a boost intellectually as well as paid me off really well. All solved! Getting admission in Todaigaku for us was also not much of an issue as well got in there through recommendation. Well speaking of Yuigahama, she opted to go to Osaka so that she could get out of her comfort zone whereas Totsuka and Zaimokuza decided to attend Meiji University which is not much far away from our university and the place we stay. Hayama went to the United States to pursue law in Houston whereas for his clique, Miura is nowhere to be known after Hayama rejected her in the graduation ceremony. Tobe is pursuing his career in soccer, I don't know about the other two guys from the clique. Ebina san is pursuing to become a mangaka specialized in the 'yaoi' genre…..no comments on that but whatever. Kawa-something-san is attending a public university called Ochanomizu in Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo.
Well for starters, its been 2 months since we are attending Todaigaku and things have been smooth until we got to know Hiratsuka sensei is teaching in the university and is the faculty in charge for our course. I had mixed feelings at first as she was the one who was more excited for 'MY', no 'OUR' university selection. Of course those mixed feelings weren't anything negative, but according to her, considering how hopeless I and Yukino were which we did not believe considering how much the both of us evolved, Hiratsuka sensei interjected and ordered the both of us the follow the same tradition of the club we had back at Sobu High.
"So what do you think of the proposal presented by Hiratsuka sensei?"
Yukino seemed to be a little confused by all of this
"If you are asking me then I think this is definitely one of her schemes to make us a more accepting member of this working society…..or something down the line that could be related to our careers."
Without frowning, I expressed
"You never mince words, don't you?"
She turned towards me while walking towards the university entrance giving off her trademark smirk….gehhh…that's low on points!
"I wish I could but I have no options now"
Giving her the warmest smile, I could give, the both of us finally made our way across the campus towards our department looking for Hiratsuka sensei.
Finally, after reaching our department I encountered sensei talking to someone who I was not familiar with and did not belong to this department, wait….. this is a university Hachiman! Are you an idiot or what? Its natural that you wouldn't know half of the students around here! How much dumb could you get you dimwit.
"Ichinose san, this is probably the third time I've seen you crossing via this department. Are you late once again?" Asked Hiratsuka sensei
"I'm extremely apologetic for using the premises again but I had because my time exceeded in my other proficiency course"
"I can understand that really well but if there is anything that is bothering you, like I told you before my ears are all for you. Despite you belonging to another department, you are still a student of this university"
As always, considerate. Why is she still single? Someone please marry her already before I make a special bulletin board especially dedicated to her….
"Thank you so much sensei, I really appreciate it. When time comes, I'll take that offer"
As the conversation ended, Ichinose san rushed outside the department building to make her way to her department. Yukino seemed a little concerned after looking at Ichinose san as she observed her and turned towards me making an expression of determination which was telling me that she wants to take up Hiratsuka sensei's orders and continue the legacy of the service club.
Well I have to say that on an intellectual level, the way I and Yukino think is 95% similar. She was even observing her like I did.
By giving a simple nod to each other, we approached Hiratsuka sensei. She was already aware about our presence. Clearing her throat, she vocally emphasized on what she wanted to say.
"So Hikigaya, Yukinoshita, What are you guys going to do?"
"Hachiman and I have decided to continue with the service club even if it is on demand"
Yukino told sensei with a serious and confident expression.
"Also, the competition is still on Hachiman"
Okay that solves it…wait, what… competition? Why? I thought we were done with it! Nanameshita san, lets take this as a healthy volunteering work before the consequence of getting on each other's throat, I've already got my share! Pleaseeee not anymoreee…Oi-Oi-Oi, stop giving me that smirk! It's definitely off the mark! You started by getting points at first but this is the third time you are losing Hachiman points!
"Competition aside, I guess it's a good opportunity to embrace a new field of scope in front of us Yukino."
She pouts immediately when I deny the competition but then smiles back again at me. Aghh women, you are going to kill me some day with your mixed expressions! Cute, Cute, Cute….. High on Hachiman points! Ehehehehe….
Hiratsuka sensei got the atmosphere and cleared her throat once again to bring her attention that she was present there as well.
"We accept your orders sensei, looking forward to work for the club" said yukino and continued further " But how would you arrange the club and who would coordinate for this since this is not a school?"
"Easy pasy here, who do you think I really am. I already am acquaintances with the higher ups in this department, the club got registered already a week ago. HEHEHEHE, your sensei can do anything but why couldn't she get married?"
Silence suddenly prevails as the situation gets awkward….Seriously, someone marry her already.
"Well leaving that aside, I have a lot of expectations from the both of you. If anything happens, I'll be here to pull off your back. Otherwise, that wouldn't be cool of me right…" Giving us a warm gaze and a smile, both me and Yukino felt nostalgia of the feeling that emulated within. Now it's up to us over how we are going to do this again.
Yukino's POV-
This was perhaps the first spring where I've felt my surroundings changing positively. Well, the last spring was special on its own but it required a price to pay which can be forgiven as it really was a big turning point for the both of us and was needed to mend our course of direction as well as the outcome of how we were going to associate with each other. I was selfish for deciding one-sidedly and didn't consider Hachiman's request whereas, he did not leave me behind and used his own methods to go as far as to associate with him.
I thought that it was better for me to push him away so that he doesn't get into a turmoil of getting hurt again and I felt responsible for it as because I fell for him and for the first time, I felt what it means to fall in love but, I felt that I didn't deserve to have these feelings because I felt I was betraying the only friend I endear the most. But if he wouldn't have been selfish then we wouldn't have been what we are at present and I'm grateful for that. What an endearing idiot he is, he would go to any extent to help the others despite how much hurt he gets in the process.
I find that fascinating but very painful at the same time that how selfless he is and how he sacrificed himself throughout the entire process. But I feel that has changed at least a little when he finally told me his request that only the both of us could fulfil together. Speaking of how far we have come and how much I've come to love him even more; I feel my love for him is unfazed and would be the same.
For starter, I and Hachiman are heading towards the room we were allotted to conduct our club activities. It really feels nostalgic when you are about to do the same work you did back at high school except the surrounding being completely different.
"I never thought that we already would have a room personally allotted for our club.." Spoke Hachiman with an amused tone
"I really have to say that Hiratsuka sensei is capable of doing what she really wants to do." I couldn't contain my laugh and just giggled on how Hiratsuka sensei could do.
"Well, that's sensei for ya."
I know how much you've tried processing that but that's how we know her.
"So" he continued "Let's see what we need to have up in our sleeves to go with this."
Giving a smirk he directed… I know how much you deny about not being a part of trouble but you enjoy doing these sorts of work. Seriously what should I do of him but at the same time I adore this part of him.
"Are you telling me that this is one of your guilty pleasures?"
"Maybe" Said Hachiman giving off another smirk.
"You really can be creepy when time comes huh?" This time I returned a warm smile while saying this.
"Do you realise the expression you've made and the words you've said are completely polar opposite to each other!?... also its been a while being called creepy heh.." Said the person with the rarest smiles I could've ever seen… Don't smile at me like that, it's an unfair way to attack me like that…. I could literally feel myself flushing hard…
"W-Why, is there a problem with what I've said?" I shuttered a little bit while trying to keep my composure.
"No, but felt it's been a while… hehe"
Certainly, if I had to emphasise over the last time calling him creepy would be around the first semester of our 3rd year at Sobu High, it really has been a while.
"Anyways, keeping these things aside let's do what we can do within our ability." Spoke Hachiman.
"Yeah."
By the time we were talking to each other, we had already reached in front of the allotted club room. My hand reached the door knob, as I slide through it, we got the glimpse of the room. It was fairly the same size but slightly smaller to the room we had in Sobu. Well, honestly, I prefer such sort of rooms as they are comfortable and cozy at the same time. We had a huge desk with chairs aligned at the same position which seemed to be perfect to me.
I like it… honestly if it wouldn't be any hassle like.
"We got to see how the room is like, its about time we head towards our lecture."
"Yup" Responded Hachiman with a nod.
Ichinose Chizuru's POV-
I feel very disappointed with my code of conduct nowadays. There is so much revolving around me and yet there are options I can opt for that could lead me towards the right answer but, something is stopping me again and again. Also, if I had to consider problems arising in front of me, I really think its going to be a big deal in the end of the day as Mami san is associating with Grandma Nagomi. Kazuya kun somehow is not able to think practically and that is a little troublesome but I don't think its really his fault when he himself is in a turmoil.
I really need to be thankful to Hiratsuka sensei for letting go whenever things go south. She is really a motherly figure as far as how she really herself to be, maybe I should have taken up that offer of asking for her opinion. No no no, she is just an acquaintance and its completely the worst involving outsiders in your personal matters.
As I was thinking about what was about to happen next, my chain of thought was broken when my documents fell off my hands…common what are you doing?
The moment I want on to grab my documents from the ground, someone in front of me with a familiar name called out for me.
"Why hello there Mizuhara Chizuru!"
Wait…. That's Mami san.
Thank you for reading till here, I hope you like it. I would be updating more. This is going to be a long running series so I hope you'll bear with me. The next chapter might come within this week itself so stay tuned ….
