Reader's POV
It became a weird party. After the boys started stripping, the girls have to separate ourselves to look like we don't know any of them. However, despite being totally embarassed, some of the girls have been taking once in a lifetime glances at the boys posing like they're modelling for some sort of male health fitness magazine.
And when I say some of the girls, it's all of us except Fuyuka and Aki.
Natsumi, who brought the camera, was taking pictures of every single one of them, but a little biased since she seemed to have taken the captain's, Endou Mamoru, picture more than the rest. Haruna was blushing for two reasons: her brother, who is usually level headed, is also flaunting his body, and looking at another certain master strategist.
"So, you and Fuduo, huh?" I sneakily whispered to Haruna who jumped in surprise.
"What?! What do you mean? Me? and Fuduo? Pssssh... There's no-" She stopped when she looked at me since I was already wearing my I-already-know-and-you-cant-fool-me look.
"Yes." Haruna said in defeat causing the rest of the girls to squeal.
"That is shocking." Fuyuka said with her usual monotone voice.
"What's more shocking is that you never told us yours, Fuyuka. It's so suspicious that you don't give any special attention to anyone on the team." I said suspiciously.
"Now that she mentions it..." Aki said, her voice wandering.
"I'm fine. Love is not ready for me yet." Fuyuka said simply.
I looked at her eyes which were filled with hidden sadness. I knew better than to ask her now. I looked at the direction of Natsumi then Yuri.
"Yuri-chan, stop looking at Gazel too much. You're being sort of obvious." I said while alternating my field of vision to Kazemaru, Hiroto, Fubuki, and Gouenji.
"I can't help it. It's the first time I've seen Gazel topless. Look at them V line." Yuri said while literally drooling. I looked at Gazel, just in time, before he was about to turn his gaze to Yuri.
I pushed Yuri's head a little to the right so that her face is now towards Hiroto. I could see pain in the teal eyes of the light silver haired man as he tried to hide his disappointment and anger.
"Thanks." Yuri said as she looked at me like I just saved her life.
"I told Hiroto that you were using him." I said directly, I could feel her looking so shocked at my words.
"I needed to know the truth. I knew something was missing. I am rather shocked that someone like you, who is studying in a detective school, doesn't realize it, but I guess that's only natural." I told her while still looking at the boys chatting happily.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"Even the blind can see." I replied while looking at her seriously. She replied with a confused looked.
"Let me tell you one thing about love. It always starts with appeal, it's up to you whether to ignore it or not." I added while she continued giving a confused look. I sighed.
"Anyone else think we should stop these guys before they do something.. uhhh.. worse?" I asked the other girls, snapping them back to reality.
"What could possibly be worse than being half naked?" Haruna said kiddingly.
"I don't know.. maybe when they're completely naked and starts to compare a certain body size?" I replied causing everyone (the girls) to blush all shades of red.
"STOP!" The girls screamed, halting the boys while looking at them weirdly.
"Shuuya, I would like to go home now." I said to the flame striker who was still arguing with Kazemaru, Fubuki, and Hiroto.
"Go home then. You've got two legs and none of them are broken." He replied sarcastically.
"I know. I'm just saying 'cause you might suddenly feel like a little lost kid whose mom left behind." I replied and left after saying goodbye to the girls.
Gouenji Shuuya's POV
A few moments after [f/n] left, Kazemaru, Fubuki, and Hiroto went to talk to the others since there's no point in arguing when she's not here.
"Aren't you going to accompany her?" Kidou asked seriously.
"Why should I? She's old enough." I replied causing Kidou to arch his eyebrow.
'[f/n] not the type of girl who needs a babysitter or something. The woman is scary enough to put Medusa to shame.' I thought.
"She is still a girl and this is a dangerous street. Even someone like [f/n] is afraid of something." Kidou explained making me realize that he was right.
I excused myself to everyone and ran my fastest to catch up with [f/n] when all of the sudden, the lights went out.
'A blackout maybe.' I thought to myself as I wait for my eyes to adjust to the darkness, but it was no use, it was too dark.
I grabbed my phone and tried to shed some light so that I could see a little.
'I wonder how she's doing.' I thought as I suddenly feel nervous and unsettled.
Reader's POV
Going home alone?
Pssssh.
Going home alone, not really sure whether I'm taking the right path?
Okay.
Going home alone, not really sure whether I'm taking the right path and my paranoia acting up?
Bad.
Going home alone, not really sure whether I'm taking the right path and my paranoia acting up, and the lights suddenly went out, covering me in eternal darkness.
God, help me.
I didn't dare to take another step. I was stood frozen, my heart was beating fast, and I'm not talking about the in love kind beating fast. I couldn't see. I could feel the first tear escaping my eyes. Speechless as my mind starts to panic. I frantically looked around, cursing at how slow my eyes were adjusting, but alas, nothing.
There is was, the second teardrop easily followed by the third then fourth, and so on. I feel defenseless.
"Someone help me." I squeaked out only to realize that it was nothing but a mere whisper.
I prayed, begging for the lights to go back on. Then I saw it. A small light, probably coming from someone's phone. I frantically ran to the source.
'It's probably someone from the team. Someone might have thought of coming home after I left.' I desperately thought as I came closer and closer to the light only to bumped into someone.
"Well well well, what do we have here?" A rough deep voice said as he turned the light of his phone towards me.
"I-I-I'm sorry. I thought you were someone else." I said softly. I could feel the man menacingly looking at me. I could feel his eyes looking at me in a bad way.
I tried to walk away but my feet were stuck. They didn't want to leave the light.
"Someone else? In this darkness, no. You're afraid, aren't you? Don't worry, I'll take good care of you." He said creepily as he neared me little by little.
'Help me!' I screamed in my head but my voice wasn't listening.
He suddenly grabbed my shoulder roughly then the lights went back on, making me see his disgustingly lustful face. Out of pure terror from being defenseless, I screamed at the top of my voice only to be hushed by a punched to the stomach.
"Shut up, you little bitch." He yelled as I chocked at my own saliva.
"Fire tornado" I heard a familiar voice said as a flaming soccer ball hit the man's face causing him to flee immediately after.
Gouenji's POV
I ran towards [f/n] only to find her still shaking in terror. I tried to hold her but she started thrashing around and screaming. I was shocked and angry. I clenched my fist too hard that I could feel some blood oozing.
'Why did I let her go alone?!' I yelled at myself.
Despite her fighting back, I hugged her with all my might. Shushing her and trying to calm her down.
"[f/n]! [f/n]! Listen to me. It's me. It's Gouenji. Gouenji Shuuya! It's just me." I kept saying again and again until she started to calm down.
When she finally stopped moving, she looked at me with tear stained eyes. I could feel my eyes go wide. This is the first time I ever saw her cried. The first time she had shown weakness.
My chest hurts while my heart was beating faster. She suddenly dived to my chest and continued crying.
After what seemed to be an eternity, she finally stopped. I looked at her, while I calm myself. I was already thinking of different ways to murder that man in the most gruesome and horrible way. She looked dead tired from all that crying. I pat her head and faced my back to her.
"Climb on. No excuses." I said but even without saying the latter, she positioned herself on my back.
I stood up and started walking to our house.
Timeskip- Gouenji's residence
[f/n] was fast asleep, her head resting at my shoulder. I looked at her in a loving way. I brought her to her room and laid her down to her bed. I was about to turn around and leave when I felt someone clutching my shirt. I quickly looked at [f/n] with half opened red eyes. I could feel my heart shattering from the broken look that she is giving me. I couldn't stand it.
"Sleep. You need it." I said in a soft tone, but she shook her head slowly.
"Sleep with me, please?" She replied in a softer tone, her eyes desperate for an approval.
I was shocked but I understood that she needed someone beside her right now. I nodded and she moved a little to give me some space to sleep in.
She immediately went close and cuddled my chest as I hugged her waist soon drifting to sleep.
Next morning
Reader's POV
I woke up with my senses alerting me the feeling of emptiness. I sat up, frantically looking for Gouenji Shuuya, tears started to fog me eyes, until my bedroom door opened revealing the man I was looking for. He looked shocked probably because of how I look. He was carrying a tray that seems to have food on it. He quickly came to me and put the tray down before sitting next to me.
"How are you feeling?" He asked in a very worried tone, the kind when Yuuka was still unconscious back then. I touched his face to make sure I'm not dreaming. I smiled the moment I felt his warmth and slowly nodded.
"I made breakfast." He added while I simply smiled at the man who saved me. He suddenly looked down, his hands clasped together.
"I'm sorry I left you alone last night. I should have accompanied you. I shouldn't have let you go alone." He said desperately, his voice cracking a little while holding back the tears forming in his eyes. I gave him a pat on the head causing him to look at me.
"Thank you for saving me. That's all that matters. Besides, it was my fault for being weak." I said only to be hugged by Shuuya.
"You're not weak." He whispered in my ears while still hugging me.
"Yes, I am." I replied. He pulled away and looked at me seriously.
"No, you're not. The [f/n] I know is a smart mouth, kickass girl. " He said while smiling at me.
"Yeah, who's deeply afraid of the dark and being alone in the dark." I added. He looked shocked but quickly changed into a warm expression.
"So that was it, huh? You're afraid of the dark. I should've known. But you know, that just means that I have to make sure that I'm always with you whenever you go home." He replied.
"Uhh. No way! Especially when I'm on dates!" I opposed.
"Fine. How about this? When you're working, overtime or not, call me when you're done, I'm going to pick you up. When you're not working, call me, I'm still picking you up. When you have girl's night out or whatever, I'M picking you up so call ME. The only exception is when you're on dates." He stated.
"Fine, but when I have a boyfriend, some of those rules will change, ok?" I said.
"Fine. So that's a deal. Now shake on it." He said as he stretched his arm for an arm shake.
"Come on. Eat before it gets cold." He added as he picked up the tray and gave it to me.
"Say, what time does dad and Yuuka going home?" I asked.
"Well, it is Tuesday, Yuuka is probably in school while dad's at work, so sometime this evening. It's a little late to go to school, there's no practice today, and Fuku-san is still on leave so yeah." He explained while I ate my breakfast quietly and quickly.
"So wanna spend some time together?" I asked as I felt myself blushing at my comment. I stole a quick glance at Shuuya who looked shocked as well.
"Sure. I mean, if you want." He said trying to be cool again.
"But I don't want to leave the house." I added.
"Why do you want to spend some time with me?" He asked acting like it doesn't bother him which I find really cute.
"I think I spent enough time with everyone, but I barely spend time with you." I replied while flashing him a smile.
The two of us started with playing video games together and when lunch came, we cooked together.
'A realization of mine: the boy really knows how to cook. I know I'm not suppose to think this way, but everything felt like we were newly wed, but hey, he's hot, gorgeous, and sweet, I definitely don't mind.' I thought happily.
We ate lunch together while chatting and getting to know each other more.
He really do care about image a lot, but despite that, he is a caring man who has a soft side for his baby sister. Isn't that adorable?! Kyaaa~
He told stories about the club before I entered, some I already know of, some I was rather surprised to hear like the one where he said that during one training camp, Midorikawa and Hiroto made out with each other after eating a certain mushroom that Kogure added in as a prank. I laughed so hard at that one that water came out of my nose, which was painful by the way.
After lunch, we watched some movies to fill in our afternoon, and the whole time, my head was resting on his chest while his arm was around my shoulders. It felt right. Everything felt right that occasionally we share small kisses when it felt right.
A/N
I am very very sorry for the very late update!
So we won best team. Yay! But I lost which was not really all that shocking. XD
Gouenji: Yeah. I like this chapter.
Me: Me too.
Fubuki, Hiroto, Kazemaru: WE don't.
Hiroto: Especially me! GOUENJI! THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE A SECRET! WE ALL SWORE!
Gouenji: I don't recall swearing anything. Ah! I think I saved a picture in my phone somewhere.
Hiroto: SHUUYA! YOU BETTER DELETE THAT OR SO HELP ME!
Gouenji: Ah! Found it. [f/n]! Wanna see?
Hiroto: *brings out gun*
Fubuki and Kazemaru: RUN GOUENJI! RUN!
Gouenji: *runs for his life*
As you all requested, a chapter filled with the flame striker and you, my beloved readers.
So I finally watched GO.
I was right when I thought that the generation of Endou was better, but I did like GO^^
For some unknown reason, I am not attracted to anyone from GO. O_O
I think it's because Gouneji and the others are adults there so I unconsciously look at the GO generation as kids. Kids like kids kids... the ones you're not suppose to be attracted to.
BUT I ship Shindou and Akane soooooooooooooooooo much!
And I think I may kinda like Shindou, too... but the impact is not as heavy as the ones with Gouenji, Fubuki, Hiroto, Kazemaru, and Gazel.
But yeah, I think I like Shindou. XD
I have no plans, as of the moment, in watching the next season after GO.
It's because I found out there's this Okatsu girl that has this crush on Shindou and I can't handle a rival as of the moment. My heart's not ready for that :P
I am very sorry for fangirling here. TT^TT
