Nagumo shrugged his shoulders and tried not to think too deep into it.
He was a healthy teenager and well it was a normal reaction to have when seeing the person you like exposing half of his body naked.
But still, to get off only that. He sighed and decided to return.
"Hurry up Burn! We are starting the practice" An called him.
"Yeah, I'm here." He looked over his shoulder to catch a glance from Suzuno, but as soon as their eyes met Suzuno looked away, as well as, well Nagumo.
Natsuhiko didn't let this one slip tho!
"Yo Burn, something going on with you and Gazelle" curiously asked Natsuhiko, but didn't pay much attention to Nagumo but Suzuno.
Fortunately, because of that, he didn't realize Nagumos face blushing once again. Since he didn't get an answer he turned back to Nagumo that was avoiding eye contact with him. Nagumo faced a tree and responded.
"Its just your imagination."
"No matter what you say, this is suspicious. " Natsuhiko thought. "I must investigate this." he was determined.
"Well as you say so." Natsuhiko wasn't convinced at all.
They both returned to practice and when the practice was over Natsuhiko decided to ask around if anyone knew anything. Finally he found out about Nitou and Suzuno. So of course, based on normal sense he gasped the situation as anyone else would.
"So basically Nitou confessed to Suzuno and Nagumo is jealous of Suzuno because he likes Nitou?" Was the picture that Natsuhiko had in mind. "Well as I've heard Suzuno rejected her so she is still single" he thought to himself "I've got an idea, I should help Nagumo get together with Nitou! We are friends after all" He was so enthusiastic about the idea he had decided to conduct.
~Tomorrow morning, on the way to school~
"Yo Nagumo~ Good morning!~" Natsuhiko intercepted Nagumo on his way to school"
"Yo." Not very energetic Nagumo responded.
"I've got a great idea!" On the other hand, very lively Natsuhiko kept bothering Nagumo.
"Oh yeah, lets hear it." Completely uninterested Nagumo said.
"Well about the person you like-" He said all fired up, on which he finally gained Nagumos interest. "The truth is..." He continued "I've found out who it is!" On those words Nagumo flinched. "Wha-? How?" He asked surprised.
"Well the truth is, it wasn't that easy!-" Replied proudly Natsuhiko"I noticed that you were staring at Suzuno yesterday-" on which Nagumo recoiled. "Did he notice it that time? " he thought.
"I had to ask around a lot if anyone knew anything about why you and Suzuno were acting so weird lately!" Natsuhiko continued. "Since he didn't get stuck at that point, does that mean he doesn't really get what happened at that time?" He kept thinking about what his friend was saying.
"And so I've heard of that incident the day before-" Natsuhiko kept talking on and on. "That confession, on the roof. You know Suzuno and Nitou."
"Yeah." Nagumo confirmed it.
"So you really did hear about it!" Natsuhiko said.
"Well I just happened to overhear it by accident." He wasn't lying. Natsuhiko went on.
"And so, I thought that maybe that was also the reason you were acting so weird lately." Finally Natsuhiko said it.
"Well... kinda..." Nagumo admitted while looking away.
"Haha I knew it, anyway, it's not strange to be a bit upset when you find out that someone you like likes someone else" Natsuhiko replied.
"Yeah..." Dejected Nagumo agreed. "He was so serious when he confessed that he likes someone else. And that it can't be anyone other than that person." he thought of what Suzuno said at that time.
Natsuhiko nodded. "So I have decided to help you out with this one!" Cheerful Natsuhiko offered his help with best intentions to Nagumo.
Puzzled Nagumo looked at him "Oh, really..." Nagumo thought.
~Next time~ What is gonna happen now that Natsuhiko has misunderstood the person that Nagumo likes?
