Angst ahead, just like you wanted, Mask! ;D

It is recommended you listen to the song as you read.

Sitting on the soft duvets of his bed, Asano casted his blank gaze on the floor, mind swirling of what had happened last week.

You've been runnin' 'round, runnin' 'round, throwing that dirt all on my name

'Cause you knew that I, knew that I, knew that I'd call you up

You've been going round, going round, going round every party in LA

'Cause you knew that I, knew that I, knew that I'd be at one

The first time Asano met you was when he realised your presence in the class. He was just at his desk reading up Science when the door slid open. Instantly, a wave of perfume so sweet and addictive hit his nose and he lifted his head, meeting eyes with your (e/c) ones.

I know that dress is karma, perfume regret

You got me thinking 'bout when you were mine

And now I'm all up on ya, what you expect

But you're not coming home with me tonight

He had never thought anyone would throw him off his feet the first time they met, but apparently, all of that changed when he met you. That flirtatious gaze of yours bore into his stunned violet eyes as you leaned on his table, slim fingers trailing down his arm towards the thick book, and snapped it shut.

You just want attention

You don't want my heart

Maybe you just hate the thought of me with someone new

Yeah, you just want attention

I knew from the start

You're just making sure I'm never gettin' over you

He was so blinded with love, completely wrapped around your finger like a marionette puppet. He was so enamoured with you ever since the first time you had seductively whispered into his ear: "Don't ignore me." With that, you adruptly stood up and left him, strutting towards your desk. The rest of the day was a blur, only with you in his mind, and your voice repeating in his ear. He couldn't concentrate on work or anything else, his brain only filled with ways to get you as his.

It turned out that, all the while, you had been trying to get his attention, and finally had the chance when you transferred to class A.

You've been runnin' round, runnin' round, runnin' round throwing that dirt all on my name

'Cause you knew that I, knew that I, knew that I'd call you up

Baby, now that we're, now that we're, now that we're right here standing face to face

You already know, already know, already know that you won

Ohh

You had him entirely enchanted, he would do anything for you. When you both had finally gotten together, not too soon, he realised...

You only took him as a toy to play with.

I know that dress is karma (dress is karma), perfume regret

You got me thinking 'bout when you were mine

(you got me thinking 'bout when you were mine)

And now I'm all up on ya (all up on ya), what you expect

(oh baby)

He was infatuated with you. Even though a small voice gnawed from the back of his head, telling him that falling for you was a bad decision, he had stupidly decided to ignore it. Drowned in the bliss of loving you, he never knew that when there is heaven, there is always hell.

But you're not coming home with me tonight (oh no)

When you both had started dating, he would spoil you, always showering you in gifts and bringing you to exclusive cafes when there's a date. His father noticed, and gave him hell when he found out that not only his son's pocket money was drastically decreasing, but also dating someone using 70% of his free time to study. But he didn't care.

All he wanted was you.

You just want attention

Perhaps it was when you started skipping out on dates.

You don't want my heart

Perhaps it was when he found out you had tossed his chocolates into the wastebin.

Maybe you just hate the thought of me with someone new

Perhaps it was when he started realising that fake glint of happiness in your bright (e/c) eyes.

Yeah, you just want attention

You would always murmur things that made him believed you really loved him into his ear, getting him all excited whenever you start to talk about spending time together alone. All those things, he wanted to believe it was true.

I knew from the start

But he always knew, he was just a mere pretty boy for you to have some entertainment. For the first time in his life, he was the puppet.

You're just making sure I'm never gettin' over you

Ohh

You started to use him to skip classes, steal something from the cafeteria or to get special permission for stuff normal students aren't allowed to do. He had been desperately clinging on to the false hope that one day, you would repay him by giving him genuine love, so all his efforts on dating you were never wasted. Unfortunately, that ray of light only seemed to dim each passing day.

What are you doin' to me?

What are you doin', huh? (What are you doin'?)

What are you doin' to me?

What are you doin', huh? (What are you doin'?)

He started asking around about you, ranging from ex-classmates to teachers. He was desperate, searching for an answer that would comfort him about doubting your relationship. When he asked a few of your close friends, they could only dart pitying looks towards him.

What are you doin' to me?

What are you doin', huh? (What are you doin'?)

After much research, he found out that he wasn't the first you had dated. Not the second, third, or fourth. You had dated boys after boys, then tossing them aside when they couldn't provide you with anything concrete anymore.

You only wanted attention, and he was your next victim.

What are you doin' to me?

What are you doin', huh?

Asano dug his fingers into his hair, tangling in between his strawberry blond locks and tugging them in frustration. Hot tears flooded his eyes, blurring his vision. He was so infuriated of his pathetic self whenever he thought he could confront you and gain dominance once again, only to end up falling deeper into the abyss known as infatuation.

I know that dress is karma, perfume regret

You got me thinking 'bout when you were mine

He had been so, so ignorant. You kept him so embedded to you so he won't leave you. However, you had made one small miscalculation.

Asano Gakushuu was not your average guy.

And now I'm all up on ya, what you expect

Finally, after what seemed like hours, Asano stood up from his bed, his bangs shadowing his eyes. It was hard, but he finally knew what he had to do.

What was the right thing for him to do.

But you're not coming home with me tonight

"Hey. Let's meet up.

We need to talk."

You just want attention

You don't want my heart

Maybe you just hate the thought of me with someone new

You could only gaped at the student council president in front of you, him looking as dashing as ever in a red blazzer and a pair of khakis. You could not believe what you had just heard. However, his purple irises that avoided you told he wasn't kidding.

"W-What...?" you had managed to choke out.

"Like I said," Asano muttered, voice low but clear. His voice wavered a little, but he finally lifted his head to stare at you with steeled eyes. "We're breaking up."

Yeah, you just want attention

A pair of hands shot out and grabbed a fistful of his blazzer, jerking him back and forth violently. "What do you mean by that?! We can't break up! No! Why...!" Your screaming soon became incoherent, words all jumbled up and finally, you broke down into a sob. Your grip gradually loosened, and you softly pounded your fists on his chest, sobs racking throughout your figure. Asano could only grit his teeth, feeling his heart clench in pain. But he had to let go.

I knew from the start

You lifted up your head, teary (e/c) meeting widened violet ones. Asano wanted so much to brush off the tears streaking down your rosy cheeks and stroke your (h/l) hair while he comforted you, but he knew he would just fall for your bittersweet trap all over again, and soon, end up with his heart in pieces on the floor.

You're just making sure I'm never gettin' over you

After staring at his handsome face with puppy eyes, hoping he would take back everything he said and hug you, you finally understood what he was thinking, purple irises clouded with angst. Your eyes widened in realisation, and was soon filled with agony.

"I see," you whispered and leaned in. "So that's what you want."

(over you)

Both your lips connected. The feeling was so familiar, your soft ones against his as they moved in sync. Asano's hand shot up and ran his fingers through your (h/c) tresses as he deepened the kiss. Memories of both of you together flashed through his head:

What are you doin' to me? (heyy)

"Shuu~~" you softly called when you both were walking to the cafeteria, hand in hand. He hummed and gazed at you, eyes filled with adoration. "What is it, (y/n)?"

His heart practically melted when you smiled at him sweetly. "Nothing," you answered, then blushed a little. "I just wanted to call your name."

What are you doin', huh? (What are you doin', what?)

Asano was doing homework in silence as you lay on his bed, reading an interesting manga you found in his bookshelf. With a sigh, you had closed the book, rolled on your back and pouted. "Shuu~ are you done yet~?" You whined.

Your question was received by silence. Only 5 minutes later, Asano glanced at you only to see you curled up into a ball and fast asleep. His lips pulled back into a smile and he sat beside your sleeping figure, caressing your hair.

"Wait for me if you want attention, idiot."

What are you doin' to me?

Tears pricked through Asano's closed eyelids when another memory flashed through his eyes. It was when he started to notice there was something wrong:

What are you doin', huh? (Yeah, you just want attention)

Asano walked along the hallways during break to the student council's room when you dashed towards him: "Shuu!"

"Yes? What do you need?"

"I-I forgot to bring money for lunch... I'll return it soon, I swear!"

He lost 500 yen that day, and you never mentioned about returning it once. And he never had the guts to ask about it.

What are you doin' to me? (I knew from the start)

"Oi, Asano."

Letting out a slight hum, Asano spun his swivelling chair around to face his good friend, Ren. "Yeah?"

The playboy's eyes weren't on him though, they were trained outside the window of the room for the student council. "You said (y/n) asked for your help to complete her assignment because she was busy, right?"

Asano's vision trailed back to the luminescence of his laptop screen. "That's right."

"...she doesn't look busy to me," as if he was hesitating to choose the words, he waved his hand. "Look at this."

Premonition crashed over the strawberry blond, and he forced his stiff legs to move towards the window. "What are you talking abo-"

He stopped short and his eyes widened. Just below the school grounds, (h/c) with a familiar silhouette walked out of the gates, one hand holding an ice-cream, the other hooked around a guy he didn't know.

Asano Gakushuu couldn't breathe.

What are you doin' huh?

(You're just making sure I'm never gettin' over you)

Finally, a lone tear slipped out of his closed lid, and rolled down his pale cheeks, shimmering as it reflected the golden sunlight. You both parted, and before he knew, he was watching your back getting further and further away from him with a torn heart.

However, he missed the last of your whispering before you left.

What are you doin' to me?

"I love you."

What are you doin', huh?
