You heaved an exaggerated sigh. Yuuki had just defeated a challenger and was now being swarmed by fans and girls. They were all taking up his attention to the point he couldn't even manage to look over at you. This happened so often, anyone wouldn't believe it. Tatsuya Yuuki was the star of the school, and always seemed to be the center of attention. Despite this, the brown haired boy had always remained humble and polite. You knew him the best out of everyone, and you knew he didn't flourish in the attention. If anything, Yuuki liked to be on his own and get his quiet time. On his own, or with you.

"Yuuki-senpai! You were so amazing!"

"Could you sign this for me? I'm such a huge fan!"

"Yuuki-senpai, are you busy? Why don't you come have lunch with my friends and I?"

You resisted the urge to roll your eyes.

Everyone should have known that he had a girlfriend. Even if they did knew, they still continued to pester him, only to receive the same response every time from the boy.

"I'm sorry, I have to decline. I already have plans." Tatsuya politely told the group of girls.

At this, you smiled. No matter how many times the opportunity came, Yuuki declined. He was loyal, you had to give him that. Even if you weren't looking, he'd have responded the same, so you had nothing to worry about.

After getting away from the crowd, Yuuki came over to you and gently took your hand in his. He only gave you a gentle smile before leading you outside of the gym. Rather than taking you to the food court, Yuuki took you outside.

"Sorry about that. I didn't mean to take as long as I did." The brunet apologized to you with that gentle voice of his.

"It's okay. It happens all the time, I'm used to it." You responded to him with no trace of bitterness in your voice. Although, Yuuki could tell you were a bit fed up with this happening so often. The both of you took a seat on a bench outside, under the shade of a fluffy green tree.

"I'll try to get out of it sooner next time, I promise." Yuuki took both of your hands into his, he gently rubbed the thumb against the back of your hand. The boy looked at you straight into your eyes, even though you were avoiding them. "Don't look so sad, [Y/n]." With an apologetic smile, Yuuki lifted a hand and gently moved your chin to get you to look at him.

You shifted your eyes to look at his, a small frown marring your face. Yuuki leaned in and gave you a gentle kiss on the forehead. Even still, you wouldn't smile.

"It's okay, Yuuki. You don't have to do all that. . ." You muttered.

"I want to," his response came almost instantly. "I want to spend more time with you than with them. You're the one that I care about most."

". . . Thank you." You managed to muster a smile for his sake.

"You know I love you, [Y/n]."

"I love you too, Yuuki."
