That One Message

7)Be my Boyfriend

"Cool need help with anything?" I play it cool not letting him know that he's freaking me out. He's kind of cute.
_________________________________________

Well, he's cute but not my type. Plus, I already have a crush on someone. He'd probably be my type if I was the dominant type but this depressed bitch is not so oh well.

"Maybe a few things." He looks away slightly awakening me from my thoughts.

"Do you mind coming with me for a few when we leave? If we wind up staying at my house you can just stay over since we have a guest room. If you don't want to stay that's fine too."

He's ranting now. I roll my eyes, stand up and grab my stuff. "Come on Shira or I'll tell a certain someone something you told me earlier." I walk out of the gym to hear him scattering around grabbing his stuff trying to keep up with me. He probably thought I left him behind but I just stood there at the doors. I don't think he liked that I'm standing here when he thought I left him. When he sees me he smacks my arm and drags me to his house.

Shirabu's P.O.V

If Taichi we're to leave me I would've told his crush that likes him. I only know who he likes because it came up in a conversation and he accidentally spilled therefore him wanting to know who I like as a balance. We arrive at my house and I hear Taichi gasp.

"Holy hell you live here?" He says in shock. I blush a tad bit and look away.

"Kenjiro this isn't a house this is a whole ass mansion."

"Yeah... forgot to tell you about that part. Don't slow down you dumbass walk faster it's 5:23 meaning mom should be home in about two minutes and if we run into her we'll never get anything done." I push Kawanishi into the house and sigh. I turn around to see the dumbest look on his face. He looks like a complete idiot. I see the Butler Botan walk towards us

"No Botan I don't need help with packing anything you may resume what you were doing. This a friend from school. His name is Kawanishi. Thanks for the Shirasu for lunch... When you get a chance do you mind making Sukiyaki and sending it up? Thanks." I say quickly bringing Taichi to my room hoping I don't run into any of my siblings. Surprisingly I don't until I open my room door and see my sister Keiru taking pictures of the drawings and paintings on my wall. She has her earbuds in and doesn't hear me open the door so I grab a pencil from my desk and throw it causing her to jump up.

"Sorry Kenji!" She runs out. I slam my door shut then I sigh and plop myself on the bed. Why do my siblings have to be so nosey. If you want to see art, make some yourself. Kawanishi plops himself next to me. After a while of sitting in silence a knock is heard at the door and Botan walks in with a tray with two plates of Sukiyaki and 2 bubble teas. Kawanishi ends up picking the Thai milk tea and I get the Coffee milk tea. Good thing I don't really want the Thai tea right now.

"So Shira you mean to tell me you live the life with everything you could ever want?" I take the plates of Sukiyaki and hand one to Taichi.

"Pretty much." We eat, talking about small things and what not. Afterwards we pack up some stuff and put them in boxes. It's about 10:16 when I get a text. Originally I would think it's the group chat or Semi but the name that appears on the screen makes my heart drop.

'New text message from Sora.'

I'm not able to hide my facial expression as I see that name. I thought I blocked his number why is he still texting me?........That's right...I never did. I said I would but didn't.

"Kenjiro you good?" Taichi says with a face of worry. I don't pay attention to him. Sorry. Instead, I open the text message seeing what I fear most.

Sora: Hey babe. 😘Want to go out to eat tomorrow? Bring your new boyfriend with you and I'll bring mine. Unless you were lying to get me to be jealous.

I can't stand him but he has a point. I did lie about having another boyfriend. Of course, I don't have one. I'm not even completely over him yet. In the moment I couldn't stop myself.

Me: Yeah I'll bring him. Also why do you still have my number?

Sora: K babe. See ya tomorrow at 6:30 at Hata no bara. Be prepared to stay out for a while. 😉

Of course. Ignore me like you always do.

Me: okay.

I turn off my phone and clench my eyes shut. What did I just do?! I don't have a boyfriend. Finding myself doing what feels as right as right can get in the moment, I grab Taichi's face and look him in the eyes with anxiousness.

"Be my boyfriend!" I frantically say.

"Sure." He says going back to packing some things up.
