"Ishigami, can you go get me some juice?" Miko asked as it was lunchtime. "Sure," said Ishigami as he walked out of the classroom. "Geez what a mess I got myself into," Ishigami thought as a lot was going through his mind following past events that had occurred.
Flashback to Christmas Eve
"I`m sorry, but going out is just not an option now," said Tsubame as the two were alone in a hotel room on Christmas Eve and in a compromising position. "What?" Ishigami asked seeming confused. "I`ll be graduating soon, so it`ll be tough to go out," said Tsubame. "So what was all this? Was this just a thank you for saying that I liked you" Ishigami said as his mood quickly changed. "I wasn't sure how to answer you, but I felt that I should do this much for you" Tsubame replied which was all Ishigami needed to hear to get the message as he got off of Tsubame, "There`s a present for you, open it when you get the chance," said Ishigami as he grabbed his things,
"Wait Yu-Kun, let's open it together" Tsubame pleaded, but the damage was already done, "Sorry, I can't stay," said Ishigami as he walked away towards the stairs in anger. "Was this always it? Was I being played the whole time, this was like saying I`ll sleep with you because I feel sorry for you" Ishigami thought in rage. "Screw this, I don't want to live anymore, my love life has been nothing but a disaster," Ishigami thought as he leaned forward towards the stairs hoping it would put him out of his misery,
"Wait what`s going on?" Ishigami thought as he opened his eyes and realized that he was completely unscathed, "Ishigami, you idiot, dying on Christmas Eve, that`s the saddest thing I've ever seen," said Miko as she had shielded Ishigami from any harm. "Miko, but why?" Ishigami as. "Wipe the tears off your eyes, if anything I should be crying with the pain I`m in," said Miko as she winced a bit. "Right, I need to take you to the hospital," Ishigami said as he gathered himself and took Miko to the nearest elevator.
"Damn why did things have to end up this way, me and my gloomy self," Ishigami thought as he grabbed the drinks from the machine. "Yu-Kun?" a familiar voice called out. "Oh Tsubame-senpai, what`s up?" said Ishigami as Tsubame walked up to him. "How was your break?" Tsubame asked. "Same old, didn't do much other than buying some new video games, you?" Ishigami replied, "I traveled a bit, I heard Miko broke her arm, I hope she's alright" Tsubame pointed out much to the surprise of Ishigami. "Yeah, it's not too serious," said Ishigami as in reality he was the reason why Miko got hurt in the first place. "Yu, listen about what happened during…" Tsubame started to say before Ishigami stopped her, "I`m not mad at you, you said what you wanted to say me getting upset would make me a massive jerk, we can still be friends hopefully, I can become a better person" said Ishigami. "Thank you Yu-Kun," said Tsubame. "Anyways, I gotta get back to my classroom, see you around," said Ishigami as he walked away and headed back to the classroom. "This isn`t good, it seems that Tsubame and Ishigami might not be a thing anymore, she`s going to figure out soon," a mysterious spectacled figure thought as she was listening in.
"What took you so long?" Miko asked as Ishigami walked into the classroom, "Oh, I was talking with Tsubame," said Ishigami as he took a seat. "You're fine with talking to her after what happened?" Miko asked as Ishigami put a straw through the juice. "Yeah I`m not gonna act all depressed just cause she rejected me," said Ishigami as he opened his drink. "Are you sure about that?" Miko asked. "Positive" Ishigami replied as he started eating his lunch."He`s probably still thinking about her" Miko thought as she knew that Ishigami wasn`t just going to forget about Tsubame that easily.
That was a lie, despite being rejected by Tsubame, Ishigami still has feelings for Tsubame
"Man, why does love have to be so painful?" Ishigami thought as he was sitting through a Student Council meeting. "I guess things aren't all sunshine and rainbows with love, these damn normies make it seem so easy," said Ishigami as he was still spaced out. "Earth to Ishigami? Ishigami, are you there?" Kaguya said as she noticed that Ishigami wasn`t really participating in the meeting. "Yeah I`m good, what were you saying?" Ishigami asked as he recomposed himself to which Chika had a big grin on her face. "Ishigami`s thinking about Tsubame so hard he can`t focus," said Chika as she laughed, which seemed to upset Ishigami. "Enough about that! Give me a break!" Ishigami shouted much to the surprise of the Student Council. "I'm gonna cool down," said Ishigami as he quickly excused himself from the room. "I`m not one to scold anyone, but that was pretty unnecessary of you Fujiwara, this is tough on Ishigami," said Kaguya. "You need to apologize to him, Fujiwara. I'm gonna check on him," Miyuki said as he quickly left the room.
"You alright Ishigami?" Miyuki asked as he noticed Ishigami sitting under a tree alone. "Yeah I'm good just wanted to be alone for a bit," Ishigami replied as Miyuki laid down next to him. "I heard what happened with you and Tsubame, it must have been tough to swallow, rejection is never an easy thing to swallow," said Miyuki. "I guess so, guess there's nothing else that can be done about it," said Ishigami. "So are you still going to try again?" Miyuki asked as he knew deep down that Ishigami wasn`t ready to give up, but that was uncertain. "Don`t know yet, I should give her some space before I try again or just stop altogether," said Ishigami. "I`m not too sure what you plan to do, but whatever you do, we`ll have your back, just don`t do anything reckless," said Miyuki. "Thanks," said Ishigami as he smiled. "No problem, why don't we head back to the Student Council Room? Don`t want to keep the others waiting too long," said Miyuki as he extended his hand out to Ishigami. "Yeah," said Ishigami as Miyuki pulled him up and they walked back to the Student Council Room.
Later
"Guess I`ll go home soon," said Ishigami as he headed back to the Student Council Room as it was the end of the day. "Miko, what are you still doing here?" Ishigami asked as he noticed that everyone, but Miko had gone home already. "Gonna finish up writing the disciplinary reports today, I swear students these days are so carefree," said Miko as she was writing her usual reports. "Geez loosen up a bit, you`re gonna stress yourself out more," said Ishigami as he grabbed his bag. "That's not really your concern," said Miko to which Ishigami sighed, same old Miko. "Wanna get a bite on the way home?" Ishigami asked much to the surprise of Miko. "Ishigami asking me to join him for dinner? Now, this is weird" Miko thought." Yeah sure, let me finish up first," said Miko as Ishigami sat on the couch waiting for her to finish the reports.
Later at McDonald's
"This is quite rare of you, you never asked any of us to come eat with you," said Miko as she took a bite of her burger. "You seemed hungry and I wanted some company," said Ishigami as he took a bite of his fries. "Are you still bothered about Tsubame-senpai?" Miko asked. Not really" said Ishigami. "You seemed bothered when Fujiwara-senpai made a comment about Tsubame, normally it never bothers you," said Miko to which Ishigami sighed. "Alright, maybe I'm a bit bummed about it," said Ishigami. "Are you happy with the way things are now?" Miko asked which caught Ishigami`s attention.
"To be honest, not really, but is there anything I can really do?" Ishigami replied. "You can either hope that Tsubame-senpai will change her mind by some miracle or just accept the reality that you have to move on," said Miko. "What do you mean by that?" Ishigami asked. "Ishigami, you have to face reality, what happened between you two is irreversible, she won`t change her mind once she`s said all that," said Miko. "How do you know that?" Ishigami asked seeming conflicted, "Even if Tsubame changed her mind, you`d have to deal with all types of issues of dating an older girl, long-distance, can you handle not being able to see her all the time?" Miko explained. "Guess I never really thought about all that, this is tougher than I thought," said Ishigami as he took a sip of his drink as it seemed that Miko had made her point. "Can you get me a cola? I`m kinda thirsty" Miko asked, "Sure," said Ishigami as he got up. "Maybe this injury isn`t so bad, I`ve got Ishigami at my fingertips," Miko thought with a devious look in her eyes, "Maybe now I can even... no-no this Ishigami we`re talking about," Miko thought as she turned red.
There`s no use hiding it Miko, the whole fanbase knows that you like Ishigami
"See you tomorrow," said Miko as the two split as they headed home in separate directions. "Well I did something I never thought I would do, I hung out with Iino of all people, guess the world really does work in strange ways." Ishigami thought as he got on the train.
8:30 pm
"I`m home," said Ishigami as he opened the door to his house. "Oh welcome home Yu, you`re quite late," said Mrs. Ishigami as Ishigami took off his shoes. "Yeah, I had dinner with some friends," said Ishigami as he grabbed a drink from the fridge before heading into his room. "What do I want to do?" Ishigami said as he lay on his bed pondering what had happened today. "Tsubame-senpai will graduate soon meaning our relationship will be different and a dating relationship is out of the question heck it might be tough to keep communication with each other". Ishigami thought.
"Maybe Miko is right, it might be best to just give up pursuing her, it`ll be tough changing her mind," Ishigami thought as his talk with Miko was starting to make sense. "Whatever, I deal with this another time, for now, time for video games," said Ishigami as he turned on his Ps4 and spent the rest of the night playing video games.
Results of Battle: Ishigami loses
Hope you all enjoyed the chapter. With the MikoIshi ship sailing in the manga, I thought it was best to write a new fanfic revolving around these two, this one might update slower than my current Kaguya same fanfic so expect delays in updates.
As always feel free to leave a review on what you thought of the chapter and feedback, see you all in the next chapter
