Raiden enter his home to see both his parents home, his mother fast asleep, head resting on his father's lap. Kou pressed a finger to his lips signaling to be quiet. "Is she okay?" Raiden whispered a little worried for his mother. Kou nodded as Raiden dropped his stuff by the staircase and wondered into the kitchen.
His father lifted Shouta's head of his lap and came to join him. "What has you in a huff?" Raiden paused looking at his father, his hazel eyes watching him. "come on spit it out" Kou sighed
"I like this girl..."
"And?" Kou encouraged
"And she doesn't like me back... she likes Kyoya" Kou paused for a second
"This girl isn't your brother's girlfriend is it? It's not Kirishima Hiyori right?" Kou asked
"No it's not" Raiden huffed
"Good. so how are you so sure she likes Kyoya then?" Kou asked his son.
"because she acts like the girls do around you only its just around Kyoya. It totally sucks" Raiden huffed "to make things worse if girls aren't confessing to Kusama they're confessing to me and it has lead to so many misunderstandings"
"Have you tried telling her that you like her. It worked for me, your mother used to get upset because and I quote I "Have a pretty face"" Kou said making quotation marks "She actually tried calling us off because she thought I would meet someone that was better for me. I stopped that by making it clear that I loved her." Kou said looking at his sleeping wife on the couch.
"I never heard of that before" Raiden blinked at his father.
"Because I didn't want to remember" Kou shuddered Raiden smiled turning away.
"You really love mum don't you" Raiden smiled
"Of course I do other wise you wouldn't be here little man" Kou teased ruffling his son's hair. "Just be patient, Matsuo will come around and if you don't want to wait just take charge and confess yourself" Kou pointed out "I did and it worked out fine. there is a 50-50 chance she'll say she likes you back"
Raiden just stuttered "How would you know it's Matsuo?"
"Well, there are only four girls immune to your charm because you grew up together that I know of and thats Haruka, Matsuo, Hikari and Kaori. Matsuo is the one that's closest to you. See I pay attention" Kou winked and Raiden chuckled
Yukina Nao Raiden
Raiden opened his shoe locker with a yawn as he traded his shoes, he wasn't surprised when a note fell out as he opened it up. He let out a sigh picking it up but he didn't read it. He knew it was the same girl as every other time that just got on his nerves. The girls had figured out a long time ago that if you put a note amoungst his belongings to meet him somewhere he wouldn't go. So they just tended come up to him and just say it. However, Hitoshi was a different story. Just like his father he was too nice and went anyways.
Raiden shoved it in his pocket before changing his shoes. Fuse Bunko annoyed the shit out of him. She was hell bent on making the girls in his friend group go through hell which usually ment stealing their boyfriends, or spreading rumors.
"Rai~den" a voice chirped as a mass landed on his back. He turned to see who it was and smiled
"Hey Haruka, has Matsuo not arrived yet"
"She's dropping off Suzuna at middle school" Haruka replied "Where's Hitoshi?"
"I think he's in the classroom like normal" Raiden shrugged
"It's so great, I'm glad that this year everyone is in the same class as me!" Haruka cheered as she headed to the classroom with Raiden in tow.
"You mean your glad that this year Kusama is in the same class as you" Raiden corrected teasingly.
"Well he's part of everyone right?" Haruka asked innocently. Raiden raised his hand to his forehead with a sigh. Poor Hitoshi, good luck dude. "How are things going for you and Matuo? Have you asked her out yet?"
"Fine and no."
"Why not!?" Haruka cried as she froze just in front of the classroom door which Raiden entered already used to Haruka's antics. Haruka followed him in and spotted Hitoshi at his desk "Hitoshi~ it's horrible~" Haruka whined a she ran over to her friend who stood to hug her knowing that's what she wanted
"What's wrong Haru-chan?" Hitoshi asked
"Raiden hasn't asked Matsuo out yet" she cried.
"Tell you what Usami" Raiden said walking over to the two. "I'll ask her out when Hitoshi asks out his own crush" This made Haruka perk
"Hitoshi? Do you have a crush on someone?" Haruka asked with bright sparkly eyes "Who?"
"You're kidding right?" Hitoshi asked
"Hitoshi this is no joking matter! How can I help you get the girl if you don't tell me how it is!" Raiden and Hitoshi shared a rather blank look .
"Don't worry about it Haru-chan, when I do ask here out you'll be the first to know" Hitoshi gave a boyish grin and let her take her seat beside him.
Hitoshi smiled as all their friends sat around Haruka. Haruka didn't realize how protected she was, she tended to get harassed a lot by people because of her looks. She was a rather beautiful, that's why she was often dating someone becuase boys went up to her left right and center.
Hitoshi and His friends had agreed that Haruka was way to trusting and easily manipulated by the sleeze-bags in their school and had agreed to make it hard for them to do so. Raiden sat in behind her, Hitoshi to her left, Matsuo to her right, Miyagi Ichiru in front her with Kirishima Kaori and Hatori Takumi sitting on either side of Ichiru, Asahina Hikari sat beside Raiden to his right leaving Haruka completely protected save for the seat beside Raiden to his left where Fuse now sat.
Fuse knew not to try anything though with Hitoshi and Raiden there looking out for her.
Raiden looked to Fuse beside him and caught her attention and held up the note. Fuse's eyes brighten and Raiden shook his head and gave her the note. Confused she read it
After school
same meeting place as usual
~Bunko 3
Not going
never will
stop asking I don't like you
Bunko's eyes widened in shock then turned to rage and turned to say something only to see that he had turned to talk to Matsuo who was standing at his desk. "Raiden you busy after school?"
"No" Raiden stated rather bluntly
"Wanna go to Karaoke with me Kusama and Haruka? We're thinking if asking everyone else as well... when they get here"
"Yea sure" Raiden shrugged. He noticed Hitoshi turning towards him giving him a thumbs up and Raiden scowled. following his line of sight Matsuo saw Hitoshi quickly turn away
