Thank you beauties who reviewed! And favored! And followed! Cake be to you.
At my sudden realization, I kicked off the bed in horror. What the hell was Setsu about to DO?!
Tsuruga-San stared at me, not pressuringly, but calm. Perhaps he was waiting for the storm to pass. "Is Setsu under control?" he asked a little breathily.
I shakily replied back that everything was A-OKAY, so he should worry. That stupid smile I always wore to cover up things I didn't want others to see came back with a vengeance. But of course, him being Ren Tsuruga, he knew right away what was happening. "You're lying to me."
"I'm not lying." but the cough in the back of my throat kept the lie from reaching its full potential. He only raised an eyebrow.
I took me a moment to realize that he knew. How did he know?
In the recesses of my mind, I could hear Setsu whisper, "maybe he has some deeper feelings for you. After all, if Setsu is cute, then Kyoko has to be at lease a little cute."
A blush creeped into my cheeks. "you're wrong. He doesn't care about me anymore then a sempai. He's far too great to ever have thoughts like that!"
But, the thought WAS imprinted in my head. Could it be possible?
No. No way.
I was plain, sex-less, attraction-factor-less. If Tsuruga-San wanted a girl, he could pick from a million boobed fangirls...
...so why the hell was he so bothered by my seeing Shotaro?!
"Mogami-San?"
It took a moment to register that Tsuruga-San had been speaking. I bowed in apology. "im sorry, I didn't hear you."
A sigh like death erupted from him, and I was the slightest bit terrified.
"Mogami-San, I wanted to know why you were with him. Why he called you."
My mouth felt dry. "I was only with him because he showed up and asked me out for lunch, and sort of kidnapped me, and...I didn't do it because I enjoy his COMPANY at all, I swear." but as to why it bothered Tsuruga-San, I couldn't tell.
He got up from the bed, and stood so he was looking down at me darkly. "he asked you to lunch AND kidnapped you?"
"well..." the correct answer here was yes, but I worried that he might kill Shotaro before me. "yes, but I got free food!"
He glanced away from me and slumped into a chair. "AND he bought your meal."
"but, Tsuruga-San, Why are you so angry about it?" I had to ask. In the darkness of my mind, Setsu whispered, "because he cares!"
"what does caring have to do with anything?"
For the first time in a long time, Natsu piped up. "You're so cute, but so dumb. Little Ren wants to be with you. Don't ask me why, because I find little amusement in your company."
My heart quickened again. There was no possible way! None at all! I exited my mind and went back to Tsuruga-San. He continued to stare hauntingly at me, not breaking eye contact.
In the most blatant voice I could muster, I asked, "What is our relationship?"
