Broken

Chapter 15 |Weak|

Derik's POV: "heh?" The boy with the elvin face and black hair raises his eyebrows.

"Go out with me" I repeat.

"How would it be different from now? " Sasaski ask.

"It wouldn't, we can still do all the same things" I reply, why won't he just say yes already? Most girls trip over themselves for me. This is the first time I've been attracted to a dude before, hmm.

"I don't see the point, we don't do anything"

He wants to do more? I smile.

"You want to go to the movies with me?" I ask.

"What?"

"You're complaining we don't do anything so I'm asking you on a date." I shrug but on the inside I feel strange.

"Date" he echoes. 

"Movies tomorrow, at 7:00 am. Wear something black" I order.

"WHAT?!" He almost shouts. I put my hand over my mouth to hide my smile. How annoying he is. It's still early and he's shouting.

"Quiet" I whisper placing my fingers over my lips. He looks mad, his cute face contorted in an unimpressive scowl. 

"I need to go grocery shopping" he smacks my hand away and I smile. 

"Let me go with you" I press.

"You'll just get in my way" he murmurs putting his hoodie back on. Squinting his searches for his glasses on the floor. They're in my hand though and I squeeze them behind one of the couch cushions.

"You can't see a thing, let me go with you" 

"Fine" he gives in, standing up he abandons the search for his glasses and throws some bags at me.

The store is crowded and young girls and old women flock around the produce. Wandering the aisle squinting at products Ryo scans everything. I keep my distance holding his basket as he taps a girl on her shoulder. "Excuse me miss, but can you tell me what this says? I forgot my glasses" he smiles at her warmly and I can see her face turn beet red.

"Oh, um- it says 20% percent off on the fish" she taps the package as she stutters. The sudden silence in the store is what makes me look away from the scene. Women are staring at Sasaski with lust. He's oblivious.

"Thank you" he laughs as he picks it up. Another woman walks up to girl he just talked to as they gush about him.

"He's gorgeous, absolutely adorable." The girl fans herself.

"Think he has a girlfriend?"

"Probably"

"Derik" Ryo breaks me from my thoughts. The girls whip around, probably to glimpse at him again. This is annoying. "I thought we could have steamed fish and rice, what do you think?"

"Oh my gosh, 2 hotties. One for each of us" the older woman nudges the girl.

"Sounds good" I reply not really paying attention.

"Let's go" he turns and bumps into a display stand. Idiot. I grab his hand. "HEY" he jerks back.

"Would you rather I let you keep bumping into other things? I could also carry you if you prefer" I snap.

He shuts up as we go to look at the fruit. Women giggle at our hand holding as we bag our produce.

Paying for our food, I can feel the grip on my hand loosening as he tries to separate on the street. "No one is looking" I lie to comfort him, yaoi fangirls blush at our friendly contact.

"It's not that" he murmurs. Hm? "M-my hand is sweaty"
