Chapter 6.5 : Sleep?
Nishikata was just laying down on the bed of guest room while calling shuichi
Nishikata : so hows everything going?
Shuichi : it's… Ok…. I just need you to control the Tokyo office as fast as you can…
Nishikata : leave it to me, so how's suika
Shuichi : she's just resting because she the doctors told her to…
Nishikata : I see
Shuichi : so did you sort out the apartment?
Nishikata : speaking of, why didn't you tell me about all that?!
Shuichi : I'm sure it was a pleasant surprise for you, don't even try to deny it
Nishikata : I really wanna punch your smug face right about now…
Shuichi : ( he chuckled and hanged up)
Nishikata : that smug little…
Nishikata was just about to start his pushups when he heard a knock on the door
Takagi : hey yuki can you let me in?
Nishikata : yeah sure ( he opened the door) what's wrong?
Takagi : there's just something I wanna tell you…
Nishikata could sense takagi's discomfort so they sat down on the bed
Nishikata : well?
Takagi : so over the first year of highschool… something happened…
Nishikata : what?
Takagi : well a guy… He confessed to me and I denied obviously…
Nishikata : wait… Is He harassing you?! ( he seemed very upset)
Takagi : no he hasn't done anything … we haven't had much interaction except science class where we happen to sit next to each other…
Nishikata : ok….when did all this happen?
Takagi : A-a few months back….
Nishikata : why didn't you tell me?
Takagi : I really don't know…. I felt like you'd be… Mad…
Nishikata : I wouldn't be mad at you…. But still you know you can tell me everything.
Takagi : well it's just that the guy he's Amano Haruki…. The student rep along with you….
Nishikata : oh? ( well I keep hearing about him haven't really met him yet..)
Takagi : I knew you'd eventually find out…
Nishikata : wait you're telling because of that? You mean you were planning to hide this for as long as possible?
Takagi : ... Sorry…
Nishikata : why did you even need to hide it?
Takagi : well…. I Don't know why I did that… I was scared…. I don't know what I was scared of…. But I was scared ….
Nishikata : you don't need to be afraid of me takagi…
Takagi : that's why I came to tell… I wanted to tell since you returned but…. I just couldn't…
Nishikata : well everything is fine now…
Takagi : so….can we share the bed?
Nishikata : what?
Takagi : I said I wanna sleep with you…. ( she said while climbing onto him)
Nishikata : um……
Takagi : ( she got close, so close that he could literally feel her breathe) can I?
Nishikata : ( blushing) fine
Takagi : good ( she lay down next to him and pulled him closer…)
Nishikata : let me just finish my pushups first…
Takagi : what?
Nishikata : I cant sleep without my daily pushups anymore… It's a habit… just close your eyes I'll be there in a minute…
Takagi : ( her mind just paused this was one of the rare occasions where she didn't know what he was thinking) ( I really can't tell if he doesn't understand what I'm hinting at or if he's choosing to ignore it…) seriously?
Nishikata : I really can't sleep without the pushups
Takagi : ugh… I give up… I'll try next time….
Nishikata : ( what was that all about I wonder….)
He started his pushups and after that he crawled into bed
Nishikata : ( he was beside her when he felt something around the chest) what the-
Takagi : ( her hand were inside his shirt and she was technically hugging his bare chest) it's just me..
Nishikata : why in the shirt
Takagi : because I want to… Now sleep ( mild annoyance)
Nishikata : ( he was strongly blushing and thoroughly perplexed when it hit) wait was earlier…. ( hehe blushed ever harder)
Takagi : yes that's exactly what I meant ( she said while hugging him tighter) but now you've ruined the mood so just sleep for now…
Nishikata : ( the realisation hit him harder than a truck his mind was unable to comprehend this info he just froze there blushing)
Takagi : ( she noticed he wasn't able to sleep and sighed) turn around
Nishikata : ( he somehow did without speaking a word)
Takagi : ( she cuddled with him) now sleep..
Nishikata : thanks…..
Chapter 7 : Rumors
Nishikata stared at the girl who was wrapped around him
Nishikata : ( she meant it yesterday….) ( he placed his hand on her face)
Takagi : ( his hand woke her up but she didn't immediately open her eyes) ( what's this on my face… A Hand?)
Nishikata : ( he ran his fingers along her arm) soft….
Takagi : ( she was working hard to not blush furiously) ( why am I even acting like I'm asleep)
Nishikata : ( he stared at her face and thought out loud) she's so beautiful…. I wonder what would've happened if I'd understood what she was saying yesterday…
Takagi : ( is he gonna initiate now?)
Nishikata : but then we're still 17….
Takagi : ( honestly I should have thought this through… We're still 17….)
Nishikata : but then again… I'll be 18 in a few months… She'll be too…. Should we wait till then?
Takagi : ( she didn't really mind waiting if that's what he wanted, her actions yesterday were in the heat of the moment and she didn't really think too much…)
Nishikata : ( he pulled her closer to him and wrapped his arm around her)
Takagi didn't move while Nishikata cuddled with her
Takagi : ( after waiting for sometime w so he wouldn't know she was awake while he was talking) hey yuki…
Nishikata : ( shit I'm still cuddling) yeah?
Takagi : ( he tried move away but she held him close) no it's fine…
Nishikata : Takagi…
Takagi : ( she curled around and started to kiss him)
Nishikata : ( his mind was completely blank as she kissed him again and again)
Takagi : ( she stopped kissing to catch a few breaths when he held her shoulders) yuki?
Nishikata : screw it I don't care ( he started kissing her neck and shoulders)
Takagi : ( this time she was the one who was powerless she just held him and moved on impulse without thinking she bit the end of his earlobe seductively) ( she had basically thrown all logic out of the window)
Nishikata : ( while he was still kissing her his hand moved to her back)
Takagi : ( she was wearing a dress which had buttons on the back side)
Nishikata : ( he seemed hesitant at first but he slowly began to unbutton her dress)
Takagi : ( 2 buttons were opened and the last one would open.. the dress would fall off, she was preparing herself for that…)
He was still fumbling around with the last button when the door to his room shook open
Nishikata : ( crap I didn't lock the door after I let her in last night..)
Takagi : ( oh no… what if someone sees us)
They both simultaneously looked at the door where a single boy stood with a blank expression on his face
Mogami : hey nishikata it's morning ( he said nonchalantly since he was far he didn't see well)
Nishikata : hey yeah good morning ( oh yeah…. He Is partially blind and can't see from far)
Mogami : well I was just waking everyone up.. ( began walking towards them)
Nishikata : ( thinking quickly he covered her up with sheets) ( pray he doesn't notice… Please…. Please…)
Mogami : well… It's morning and I think we all have school or something right?
Nishikata : wait you're a student too why don't you come to school
Takagi : ( she was hidden under the sheets)
Mogami : well I don't wanna crawl back into that hellhole but I have some stuff to take care of….. I just came to tell you if you want breakfast
Nishikata : yeah sure
Mogami : ( he noticed a person inside the sheets but decided to stay silent) I'll just go wake her up now…
He swiftly escaped the room
Nishikata : ( I wonder if he noticed… But then again with his power you can't really hide anything from a guy like him…)
Takagi : is he gone?
Nishikata : yeah….
Now things had gotten awkward between them as he had come to his senses and this time both were equally embarrassed… she quickly fixed her dress which threatened to fall off at any moment
Nishikata : L-let's just eat….
Takagi : Y-yeah….
As they climbed out of the room they heard someone shout
Sumire : AY!! SHUT YO ASS UP I'M TRY TO SLEEP!!!
Mogami : ( he was unfazed) ( so she gets annoyed by this huh?) ( he began banging the door harder just to spite her)
Sumire : ugh….. Whats your problem?!
Mogami : nothing really I just like annoying you because you always annoy me
Sumire : I swear you…
And their argument which was just Sumire being angry and Mogami enjoying messing with her
Takagi : she is like this every morning when I and houjou try to wake her up for school… she sometimes even stays up till 4 am watching Netflix…
Nishikata : ( I can't say I'm not guilty of that) let's just wait for them downstairs…
Takagi and nishikata head down and wait for them in the dining room
Mogami : I'm hungry… Lets eat… ( he sipped on coffee before eating his breakfast)
Nishikata started a random conversation with Mogami while Sumire pulled takagi aside
Sumire : god I just wanna punch him so bad…
Takagi : chill Sumire..
Sumire : but anyways tell me how you teased nishikata
Takagi : huh? Why?
Sumire : that Mogami thinks he is hot stuff by making fun of me? I'll show him his place!!
Takagi : so you wanna tease him?
Mogami : before you take it the wrong way which I know you will, he just annoys the absolute fuck out of me I wanna get back at him
Takagi : um… I have been teasing less than half than I used to because of the confession...so it will take time to think of something… But I seriously ended up regreting teasing him… you might wanna watch for that….
Sumire : don't you still tease him though?
Takagi : a lot less and because he enjoys it…
Sumire : damn he's a masochist..
Takagi : what
Sumire : I'm just kidding
Takagi : I tell you later…
They all ate the breakfast and they rode the car to school
Nishikata : well I have some stuff to take care of too so I'll come too…
Mogami : yeah sure….
Sumire : I'm of to chemistry, later…
Takagi : I'll wait for yuki in the math class…
Nishikata and Mogami walked all the way inside the student council room where a senior was playing chess with another boy
Senior : oh hey nishikata
Nishikata : good morning… ( he peered around to see the other person playing)
Amano : who's this guy? Looks new… Oh hey Mogami….
Mogami : skip the greetings amano tell me why I was called…
Amano : let's go, the principal is waiting…
Senior : hey you can't just leave we just started the game
Amano : you're gonna lose like always what makes you think this time will be different, just set up another game for me…
Senior : jesus Christ Amano ( that's why he's intimidating… So God damn confident)
Amano : it shouldn't take long Mogami.. ( he passed Nishikata on the way out and gave him a polite greeting and went to the principals office)
Nishikata : that's him? ( the guy who confessed to takagi…)
Senior : yup, intimidating right? Intelligence makes him so unapproachable… so a game?
Nishikata : didn't you call for some work?
Senior : well amano is incharge of that task so we have to wait for him, so what do you say a quick match?
Nishikata : sure ( he sat across him and continued to play chess)
After about 15 minutes of fast paced chess the senior was cornered
Senior : god damn… You're almost as good as amano…
Amano : speaking of me? ( he said while carrying a stack of papers)
Senior : speak of the devil…
Amano : what's this? This guy managed to corner you?
Senior : well yes…
Amano : step aside, let me play….
Senior : pretty sure it's a losing game amano
Amano : not if I'm the one who's playing
Nishikata : ( so this is what he meant by confidence) you can try
Amano : so you new here? ( he said while moving his rook)
Nishikata : yeah… I Mean I'm pretty sure you know at this point, I was supposed to be the student rep along with you ( he pulled his bishop back)
Amano : oh? What was your name? Nishikata was it?
Nishikata : yeah yuki nishikata…
Amano : well nice to meet you, I'm called Amano Haruki..…. ( hehe moved another peice and…) check.
Nishikata : ( he moved his king to the side) so what did you call me for?
Amano : well since you decided to disappear for a year you've got a lot of paperwork as student rep todo and all that so I am supposed to teach you your work or something like that..
Nishikata : I see.. ( a bit different than I expected seems like a pretty chill guy…)
Amano : Stalemate
Senior : you managed to turn a dead game into a tie… You never disappoint
Amano : it wouldn't have got to this point if I was playing from the start, I've been playing with you for like a year and he still played better than you, we should have a rematch sometime…
Nishikata : yeah sure… ( even though he'll probably beat me easily.. He turned a loss into a tie….)
Amano doesn't know that nishikata is takagi's boyfriend at this point…
Amano : that should be all for now…
Nishikata : ( thank god the work from the businesses is harder than this it won't take long) ok… I guess I'll get going then
Nishikata walked out of the council room
Mogami : ( he was just sitting on a bench outside)
Nishikata : what happened?
Mogami : the school changed its policies… Now I have to spend a few days at school every year… I Can't hide in the library and skip school anymore…..
Nishikata : so you have to spend a few months at school?
Mogami : yes… I Need to live in this hellhole where pretty much everyone hates me because of rumours…
Nishikata : ( he acting like he was indifferent to the rumors but really they're getting to him… I Mean i would be surprised if he wasn't affected) chill man it'll be fine…
Mogami : even though the students are staring at me?
Nishikata : ( he looked at the students who were sneaking looks at Mogami and judging because of rumours) ( this pissed him off) don't you little shit bags have anything other to do?!
everyone was scared of nishikata and the they looked away
Nishikata : does that help?
Mogami : thanks I appreciate it…
Nishikata : well let's go to class then you got your schedule?
Mogami : no…
He checked the schedules on the wall and saw that they had all same classes
Nishikata : sweet just follow me
Mogami : thanks man…
Nishikata : nah its ok ( I really feel bad dor him, how can people be this bad)
Mogami : let's just get to classes
Nishikata : yeah….
