You don't get it, She's my girlfriend.

The sun flashed through the skylight, waking us both up. It was a school morning. We got ready in silence, occasionally making precious eye contact. The sun was still bright, although it was icy, and grit salt made the pavements rough. Mum smiled when she saw us. She was happy to see her son - well, daughter, - was finally doing things with her social life.
After wrapping up warm, shoes on and lunch packed, we waved goodbye and left. We knew that now the whole week would be solid work on the production. The roads were flooded with turquoise and white uniforms, all heading the same way. They waved at us, happy to see Teruhashi again. We heard the familiar voices behind us.

"Hey! Teruhashi, Saiki? Can we call you Kuriko, I don't want to confuse you with kusuo," Kaido chirped.

I nodded, no show of emotion in particular. We all walked together, chatter in the air until we reached the familiar green building.

"Good morning everyone!" Teruhashi called, to all the people waving. The production was on Friday evening, so we had little rehearsal time. We were truly cramming everything in. After the first lesson of the day, we were granted a half hour of practice time. Hairo pretty much forced the whole year into the hall at lightning speed. This production was his pride.

"Right! We're doing the scene in the crown room, up until the end of the rescue scene! We only need the soldiers which are doing acting parts, we'll call the chorus soldiers when we need. We'll switch over later!" He yelled. "Everyone who isn't in that time slot, go help with building props!" His eyes were bright and enthusiastic. Four fifths of the room, roughly headed to the back.

"Okay! I hope you all know your lines. If you don't, as usual, just call out "Line". We can prompt." Class C's representative said sternly to the remaining people. "Saiko, stage right, Saiki, stage left." We nodded.

"Okay, let's go from when soldier 17 and 13 drag her in."

The scene began, a few people needed to be prompted, but it was alright.

"Okay, great job everyone." She walked over to the prop side of the room, where a lot of progress was happening, and got Hairo to bring over the soldiers.

They all were brought onto the stage, and I had to go through the ordeal of a duet verse with Saiko.
Finally, when that was finished, we went to do the rescue scene. Once Kokomi was pulled from the grasp of Toritsuka, she was held by Saiko. I was slightly shocked by this. I had seen this happen before, and didn't like it, but now we were girlfriends, it make me feel like acid was welling up in my veins, making me burn with silent, poisonous jealousy. (a/n only remembered I had non-metaphorically had this as a medical condition after writing this sentence help) Kokomi seemed to have a similar reaction. They quickly moved on from the romance, and ended the scene.

She quickly walked over to me. "Hey, are you okay with me doing that?" She said, worriedly.

"Well, no, but I can deal with it." I said, teeth gritted.

(A/n: Just finished as good as dead- how tf do I continue writing romance when Pip and Ravi now apply to the in another life category)

"No, it's bothering you. We're a team, okay strawberry?" She looked deeply into my eyes, scanning my face for any type of emotion. "I can try my best to call off as much touch as possible, alright."

I turned my head away, giggling slightly. She really cared. Strawberry... silly nickname..

"I'll speak to Hairo, he's the producer." She smiled. "Okay?"

I didn't want her to give things up for me, but I grinned, knowing that she cared about this so much. "Well, okay then." I laughed slightly, because I was about to lean in to kiss her, forgetting we were in the view of the public.

She dashed over to Hairo, and began to speak.

Teruhashi POV:

"Hey! Hairo?" I waved.

He looked over. "Hello Teruhashi! I was impressed by your acting skills. Keep it up!"

"Um, Hairo, can I talk about something?"

His eyebrows rose slightly, giving him a confused expression. "Yeah, okay! What's going on?"

"Um, I'm not okay with the Saiko thing. I think he's nice- lovely, really, but for reasons I couldn't go into explaining, I don't want too much touchy-flirty stuff going on."

"You were okay with this last time, has something changed?"

"Sort of. Just, me and Kuriko spoke about it. She was trying to be gracious but I think we both agreed that we shouldn't let this happen."

"Oh, does Kuriko like Saiko?" He asked obnoxiously.

"No! No, no of course not."

"I won't tell anyone, don't tell me I've broken some type of girl world rule.."

"Hairo, Kuriko doesn't like Saiko!" I exclaimed.

"But It's clear that you aren't switching things around purely for yourself, Teruhashi."

"Hairo, you don't get it. She's my girlfriend."

A look of shock fell over his face.

"Wow, I-"

"No, I know, but I love her Hairo. She's my person, my thing. I-I... I don't know. I.."

He smiled. "You don't have to go into details, it's okay. We can arrange something."

"Thank you," I said, finally smiling.

"You know, I completely support you. I'm the same, if you know what I mean, just I can't talk about it. I'm scared. Not brave of me, which is stupid, but I'm really proud of you." Hairo muttered, sounding slightly ashamed.

"Oh Hairo, please don't worry. I feel so much better now I can talk about it."

He smiled. "Now, I'll sort something out. I won't be able to cut out the romance completely, but I'll make this a lot easier between you and Kuriko."

I smiled back. "Thanks so much. You don't even know."

I saw Kuriko smiling at me from stage. Obviously, she already knew what Hairo said, using her powers. I flashed a grin at her. I jogged back, and stood by her. "Hairo says that we can cut out some of the romance, so I think we're okay."

She laughed. "I'd want to kiss you, if there weren't roughly 25 guys looking directly at us right now," She said, voice lowered.

"Yeah. Me too. Wanna go find a classroom so we can?" I whispered.

"That was blunt, but alright!" She laughed

A/n we're gonna timeskip a few days in the next chapter. Sorry for slow updates, I'm just trying to stay on top of my blood sugar so I don't get DKA.
