Kazuichi

"U-Uh, we can-"

You

I couldn't think of anything else, so... I just did it. What harm would it do? I mean, I have to do this to keep myself hidden, right? It's just a simple kiss after all... It doesn't mean anything.

Kazuichi

What is this?! I'm heating up! I'm gonna catch a fever! It was so sudden, she just grabbed my face and she- I can't take it!

You

I slightly opened my eyes to see if she had left, and gladly she did. "Whew! That was a close one!"

Kazuichi

How is she- How can she- Why is she acting like this is all normal?!

You

Kazuichi was staring at me as something had happened to me. "What? What is it? Is my face looking weird or something?"

Kazuichi

"Y/N, have you already forgotten? You and I just-" I can't say it! That'll make things awkward! 

You

"What?"

Kazuichi

"You don't know?"

You

"I don't think so?" 

Kazuichi

Woah... Is she able to get over something like that so easily? 

You

"What's wrong Kazuichi? You look like you're about to faint."

Kazuichi

"O-Oh no, I should be f-fine."

You

"Okay... Next on the list is..." And we continued grocery shopping.

Ibuki

"Akane, Akane, Akane!"

Akane

"What?! What'd I miss?!"

Ibuki

"They kissed!"

Akane

"Agh! How dare Y/N keep this secret away from us!"

Hiyoko

"Blegh! They kissed?! Mahiru, let's get out of here! Kazuichi's such a fat pig, I can't stand the stench of disgustingness in here!"

Ibuki

"Wait! They might do... Something better!"

Akane

"Ugh, Ibuki, seriously?!"

Chiaki

*Yawn* "Sleeeeeeepy..."

Kazuichi

Nobody from our class could've seen that! Right?

You

"Kazuichi, I don't get why you're so cautious. It was just a kiss, nothing more."

Kazuichi

"Nothing... More?"

You

"Yeah! Exactly! So there's nothing to worry about! Besides, nobody from our class could've seen us."

Kazuichi

"I guess so... Oh, uh also, I was thinking maybe you could help me out at the bike shop today? If you want?"

You

"But... I don't know how to fix bikes and stuff."

Kazuichi

"I'll teach ya!"

You

It did take me some time, but I was soon enough able to get used to it. 

Kazuichi

"Nagito? I didn't know you biked!"

Nagito

"And I didn't know that Y/N worked here!"

Kazuichi

"Well, I only asked her to work with me today... She's not really good at it, but it's fine by me." I said as we watched her play around with the wrenches and screws on a rolling chair.

You

"Oh, hey Nagito!" He waved at me.

Nagito

"Anyways, there's a problem with my bike. The seat keeps on twisting. You think you can fix it?"

Kazuichi

"Yeah of course! I just need to get..." I shuffled through the disorganized and messy drawers, looking for that one tool. But, a photo slipped out of the drawer. It was a photo that I always hate looking at.

You

"Kazuichi, you dropped somethi-" Before giving it back, I took a very close look at the photo. The photo of the young black-haired boy with glasses.

Kazuichi

"Give it back!" I snatched the photo right out of her hands.

You

I looked at Kazuichi for a moment, then looked back at the wrench. "Sorry."

Kazuichi

"No- Wait- I'm sorry. I just don't want anyone seeing that photo, okay?"

You

"Yeah."

Kazuichi

"Oh- Sorry, Nagito. Come back tomorrow." 

You

I don't know, but I feel like I know that young black-haired boy in the photo. I don't want to talk to Kazuichi about it, he's going to get quite upset if I do. The whole time I was making dinner, I couldn't do anything right. 

Kazuichi

"Hey, Y/N, you okay?"

You

"Hm? Oh, yeah, of course." 

Kazuichi

"Are you sure?"

You

'Mhm."

Kazuichi

"I'm just a bit concerned because you haven't spoken a word since the bike shop... Did I scare you? Did my yelling hurt you?"

You

"No, that's not it..."

Kazuichi

"Please tell me."

You

"But you'll get mad."

Kazuichi

"No, I promise I won't."

You

I took light inhale, and said: "Do you remember a girl with H/C hair and E/C eyes?"

Kazuichi

"Uh... Yeah! You!"

You

"I mean yeah, but when you were younger?"

Kazuichi

"Uh... Nope."

You

"That boy in the photo... Was it you?"

Kazuichi

"Maybe..."

You

"Come on Kazuichi, was it? I know that you weren't born with straight-up pink hair and eyes."

Kazuichi

"You're gonna make fun of me!" 

You

"Kazuichi, no I won't! You know that!"

Kazuichi

"Fine! The kid in the photo was me... When I was a kid."

You

"I feel as if I've seen your young self when I was younger too... Hahaha! Look at how cute you look!"

Kazuichi

"Stop it! Y-You're embarrassing me!" I yelled, covering my face with my hat.

You

"Heehee!"

Kazuichi

"So, we've been friends before this and I probably just don't remember?"

You

"Probably?" I'm trying my best to remember so I can tell him. Maybe it will trigger his memory too. I picked up the photo from the table at stared at it for a while. "Oh... yeah! Yeah!"

Kazuichi

"You remember?"

You

"I guess? I remember a bit of it!"

Flashback

Young Y/N was playing with some blocks and building a castle in a waiting room. The other children never wanted to play with her. A moving toy car bumped into your castle, making it all fall over.

Young Y/N

Is he new here?

You looked at the kid that had just made the toy car make your castle tip over.

???

"I am very sorry! I will help you build it again if you like!"

Young Y/N

"Who?"

???

"Who...?"

Young Y/N

"Who are you?"

???

"I am project 9541. What about you?"

Young Y/N

"I am project 3488."

Project 9541 had black hair and glasses. Just like the photo you saw in the bike shop. 

Other kids

"Ooh! Someone has a crush on 3488!"

Project 9541

"No, I don't! I'd never have a crush on a stupid creep like her!"
