Bizarre Love Triangle 2

Drabble Summary: She believed that promise was not meant to be broken. She would make it come true even her feelings were at risk. Would she be ready for the consequences?


Everytime I see you falling

I get down on my knees and pray

I'm waiting for that final moment

You'll say the words that I can't say…

~Frente


She was in her room, thinking on what had happened today. Ryoma didn't show any sign of shock when she told him that she wasn't the one who asked him for a date. She apologized to have him misunderstood her words. Ryoma closed his eyes and turned around afterwards with his hands in his pocket.

This date is meaningless. I am not interested anymore. She could remember him saying those words as he was slowly walking away from her.

She buried her face because of that, "He wouldn't talk to me anymore…" she said painfully. She deserved that anyway. She was never true to her self from the start after all.

Several days passed but she never saw Kotoha once again. Ryoma didn't talk to her as she predicted. She became worried of the situation; maybe Kotoha misunderstood as well. She became her friend and she was in need. She promised her that she would help her, even though her feelings would put it to suffer.

She flinched. She clasped her hands tight as she looked down.

Her feelings…

She was going to give it up.

It was no use anyway since the boy wouldn't recognize her… nor notice her at least. At least Kotoha had the chance to him. If she would see the two important people of her life happy then she would be happy too. And that was she had decided.


One week passed:

"Ryuzaki…"

She was shocked to see Kotoha outside the school gate. R-ryuzaki? She thought.

"Can you come with me for a minute?" she said but before she could reply, the girl turned around and walked away. She followed her instead.

They walked to where the park was located.

"I-I haven't seen you for a while, K-kotoha-san, a-are you busy?" she tried to initiate a conversation but the girl didn't bother replying to her. She could sense that something was different from her.

They reached the park. The moment Kotoha stopped; the girl turned around and gave her a hard slap on the face. She stared in wonder when she touched the reddened cheek of her face. She looked at her with surprise.

"K-kotoha… san…"

"You promised me, you promised me that you would help me," she said as she stared at her sternly, "You backstabbed me, you made my hopes up. How could you do this to me?"

She was stunned on her words, "N-no that's not what you think. I-I explained everything to him that day. W-we didn't date, honest."

It was her turn to be surprised but it was for a moment before she replied, "Yeah, you didn't but you still lied to me. You like him. I can see that."

"I-I…" she blushed as she couldn't say her words. She looked down to hide her embarrassment.

"I am right, I knew it. Judging from your looks now, your actions were telling me that I am right."

"I-it's true… I-like him," Kotoha was about to say something to her but she interrupted, "but I am not expecting anything from him. Y-you have more chances than me. He remembered you but he didn't when it came to me. t-that's why I-"

"Do you think I am blind? You like him and you want him for yourself as well."

"N-no I don't-"

"Stop telling lies already. You showed proof to me when YOU asked him on a date."

"Kotoha-san."

"You maybe right, who would expect anything from you? You are clumsy, failure and not that easy to remember. Don't worry about your promise to me; I can win him easily without your help."

Sakuno was shocked, her eyes widened when she realized something. The girl just used her to get close to him. She was still holding her cheek that she slapped; it was still numb from the hard slap the girl gave her. She looked down; she didn't want her to see her cry… not in front of her. How could she be such a loser? She was easily manipulated and used by someone. Everyone could take advantage of her because of her kindness… too kind to everyone.

"You can win who exactly?"

They were both surprised to see who talked last. Ryoma was standing not far from them. Kotoha and Sakuno were both staring at him with shock reactions but Ryoma was staring at his schoolmate.

"Ryoma-kun, s-since when did you arrive?" Kotoha was the one to react first.

"Since the time you slapped Ryuzaki on the face."

The two were shocked once again. Kotoha went closer to him;

"But she betrayed me, she took the chance to get to you even though she knew that I have feelings for you." she lost her modesty when she confessed suddenly to him, "she was taking advantage of me for all I know."

"She didn't at all. We didn't date and you knew that from her."

"Ryoma-kun." Kotoha uttered his name. Sakuno was looking away from them. She couldn't take the scene anymore. She wanted to run away but she hadn't cleared anything from them yet.

"I think YOU knew who was taking the advantage to someone."

"E-eh?!"

"I don't like people who are using someone just to get the person they like."

Sakuno was shocked on his words as well as Kotoha. The latter moved back from him. The boy was giving her a stern look.

"Compared to you, I prefer the one who is clumsy, dense, stupid and who stutters most of the time."

Sakuno looked from them and she almost jumped when she noticed that the boy was looking at her. The boy said his next words after he shifted his stare at the girl;

"I am sorry."

Kotoha became speechless. She gripped her hands tight and she said her next words before she started to run away, "Y-you are so mean."

The area became quiet after Kotoha left them. She didn't noticed that she was crying already until Ryoma walked closer to her and wiped her tears with his bare hands.

"R-ryoma-kun… I-I…"

"What?" he retorted, "Do you think that I would confess to you, tell you my feelings, and hope that we should be together?"

Her eyes widened. What was the boy talking about? Did he give some hints before? Or was she the girl that he was referring to? She was not the only clumsy, dense, stupid and stutters a lot in their school. He only mentioned that he would prefer like that, he was not actually telling that he would choose her because she fitted his examples. She shouldn't get her hopes up. She was cut from her thoughts when the boy continued talking;

"Well guess what," He said as he held her hand and kissed the cheek that Kotoha slapped earlier, "You are right."

She blushed as she couldn't retaliate anything he said. He did choose her. Really? The boy was still holding her hand. It was trembling and cold. Ryoma noticed that so he cupped her hand with both of his.

"And what are you saying that I don't remember you?"

She looked down, "I-it's true, you didn't when we first met. B-but you remembered kotoha-san."

"I remembered her because she keeps cheering for monkey king but not her name."

"Eh?!"

"I am sorry if I didn't remember you first, but when I did, the hell I couldn't get you off of my stupid mind."

"R-ryoma-kun…"

He held both of her hands this time and said, "Next time when you ask me for a date, be sure that YOU are the one who wants it."

She became flushed red when he said that. She looked down as she nodded. She stopped crying but her heart was beating fast.

That day was really wonderful and memorable. The day that they became a couple.
