Author's Note: Sorry it take so long for this chapter. I decided to take a break from things that were stressing me a bit. Internet was one of them. XD Enjoy! Ch4 Will be final.


Nervously waiting on a bench, Mayaka wore a blue tanktop with flowers on it with a tan skirt. First time showing so much skin in a while, she blushed everytime someone had walked by. The sky still almost covered with clouds, had shown a tiny part of it since the day before. It still could rain, that's the part that worried her most.

Satoshi sat on the couch watching TV. "It will rain sometime past 9:30 and continue until noon..." the weatherman had said. Satoshi looked at the clock. 9:20 AM, it read. He felt like he had to go somewhere but just couldn't remember. Something about meeting... Realization hit him. He quickly got up but soft pattering had began. It'd take 10 minutes if he walked. Might as well use the bike, Satoshi decided.

Putting on a rain coat, he biked hard to the park. Every passing second, rain increased to the point you almost couldn't see. Worried, Satoshi biked faster. No way is she this stupid to wait in the rain. Maybe she's gone home. He thought hopefully. As he arrived, he looked hard the the benches. A dark figure sat alone. "Ma... Mayaka!" he called out to her hesitantly. The person didn't move.

Getting off his bike, he walked closer to the person, he identified it for sure that it was Mayaka. Satoshi smiled apologetically. "H-Hey! I forgot abou-" he began but was cut off by an empty voice. "Hey... am I a joke to you?" she asked. Not knowing how to answer, she continued, "Are my feelings a joke to you? Is this all something you find funny?" she raised her voice. Tears blending in with the rain, she looked at Satoshi.

Guilt pulling at his chest, he found that he couldn't speak. The silence filled with the now pouring rain, she walked past him. "I'm sorry you liked a guy me." he told her. He turned around expecting for her to keep walking but found she had stopped. "Idiot. You're such an idiot!" she yelled and ran.

Finding no sleep at all, Satoshi biked the pathway to school. Seeing a familiar figure dragging his feet, he stopped by him. "Morning, Houtarou!" he said with fake cheerfulness. Grunting in reply they strode in silence. "Mayaka came to Chitanda yesterday." Houtarou bluntly said.

Surprised, Satoshi frowned. "And?" he asked wanting to see how much Houtarou knew. "Mayaka kept saying 'Idiot!' to someone and I figured she meant you. So? What happened." Houtarou said. Nothing important, would be Satoshi's usual reply, but something blocked him from saying that. Instead, he told Houtarou the story, not really knowing the reason to it either.

At the end of the story, Houtarou stared at Satoshi in amazement. "For a database, your pretty stupid." He said while yawning. Frowning, Satoshi glared at Houtarou. "She's also quitting the Classics Club." he added. A stab hit Satoshi. "Because of me?" he exclaimed. "Seems so." Houtarou said caring less.

Satoshi sighed in frustration. "Girls are hard to understand!" He complained. "Girls like Mayaka are actually simple. Count yourself lucky." Houtarou said in return. Smirking, Satoshi leaned onto Houtarou. "Mm? Are you having problems with Chitanda-san?" he said. Shoving him off, he glared at him. "It's not really any of your business. Shouldn't you be worrying about Mayaka?" Houtarou said.

Sighing again, Satoshi smiled again at the ground. "Maybe. I don't know why I should though. But the thought of her leaving is bothering me a bit." he admitted. Houtarou looked at him with surprise. Taking notice, Satoshi furrowed his eyebrows. "What?" he asked confused. "You... are either oblivious only to yourself or just an idiot." Houtarou said. Laughing at his remark, Satoshi asked, "Oh? And what am I so oblivious about?" Sighing, Houtarou looked at him in disbelief. "Satoshi, I believe your in love with Mayaka." Houtarou said bluntly.

Freezing in place, Satoshi didn't move. Foreseeing this, Houtarou walked to his shoe box and opened it. "H-Houtarou... You said I was in 'love'?" Satoshi muttered. "Yes." Houtarou said getting tired of this. Satoshi thought hard while walking quietly through the hallways. Well, it'd make sense if I did like her... But I can't... Walking thoughtlessly, he bumped someone and heard stuff fall.

"Ah, so-" Satoshi started but noticed before him was Mayaka. Houtarou, realizing what's to come, quickly entered his classroom. "It's okay." She said simply and bent down to pick up her stuff. Satoshi bent down also and tried to help but Mayaka slapped his hand away. "It's okay." she said firmly while glaring at him. Things started to stab Satoshi as he watched her turn her back on him.

Frowning at the window, Satoshi stared at the heavy rain. The sky was covered with dark clouds not showing any part of the sky. Sighing, for the millionth time, he began to wonder what to do. He already clarified he might somewhat have feelings for her, but he can't just tell her that. "Who cares?" A voice in his head said. "As long as you like her, let her know. Maybe something might change." Almost leaning towards that suggestion, another voice popped in his head. "But you said you don't want to drag a rose-colored person down, remember? Mayaka has a future. A database like you can't even decide if your in love or not." Satoshi angrily went back and forth with himself.

"But don't you at least want to end it with you trying?" Satoshi, the database who never came to a conclusion, has finally came to one.
