A/N:

A little jealousy adds a thrill in an attempt to woo someone. Izumi is having trouble with his growing feelings for a certain girl. But he never would have expected he would have to conquer a serious rival.

Green-Eyed Monster [Part 3/3]

I woke up to the sounds of creaking and crashing.

"Toru!" a couple of female girls hissed, admonishing the culprit.

Opening my eyes, I could see my friend, Toru Ishikawa scratching the side of his head sheepishly. Kyoko was glaring at him, while her light-brown haired friend, Yuki Yoshikawa was threatening to clobber him with a plastic stool she is now holding with both her hands.

A shadow loomed over my head and found myself staring into the deep set of light brown eyes with flecks of amber at the edges.

"You know, you feel as light as Kyoko." Kyoko's boyfriend grinned. "And good thing that the clinic is nearby. Kyoko was ready to wring my neck for being so slow."

What? He carried me all the way to the clinic? Oh, the horror! Izumi cannot help but cringed. How lame! How utterly embarrassing!

"Kyosuke Hori! Stop teasing Izumi!"

They both turned in time to see Toru stumbled back and causing an avalanche of bed pans clanging inside the clinic, while Kyoko cast an annoyed look at the man hovering next to the bed where I was lying.

Kyosuke.. Hori?

I shifted myself and managed to sit up, feeling a small tender bump at the back of my head. I must have hit my head on something. No wonder I still feel whoozy.

"Kyoko. Come on! Can't you just call me Daddy even once?" he whined.

Suddenly, the tall, older looking guy seemed older up close, and his hair is almost the same color as Kyoko's. She's. His. Daughter?!
"I won't!" she answered icily, stomping over to my bedside and plopping down unceremoniously, causing the bed to sag a bit on the side "Go back home. Mom has probably cooled down her temper. Stop crashing my dorm whenever you did something pathetic to earn Mom's wrath!"

"I thought he's your boyfriend!" I croaked out, interrupting them in their father-daughter conversation. Too late when I put my hands up to clamp my mouth shut.

"Boyfriend?!" Kyoko's beautiful face contorted in disgust, looking like she was about to puke. "Are you kidding me?! This caveman is my father!"

"Right.." I replied weakly.

In my current state, it won't do me any good if I jump up and down without looking insane. But inside, I can't help but feel elated.

Not her boyfriend, I thought, very much relieved. I closed my eyes, suddenly very tired. It may just be my imagination but halfway through my dream world, a warm hand engulfed mine until I continued on my dream sleep.

A/N: Let me know what you think.
