Chapter 17

Nqrse saw the scene between the two and smiled at it. They really look nice together. Nqrse then glanced at the albino, he smiled sadly. Sorry Mafu for later. The pink haired male had been thinking about his feelings for a while and decided to do something about it instead of waiting.

Nqrse was going to ask the raven-haired for help but he wasn't sure whether to interrupt him, since he was talking with the albino. Once he saw that they were done talking, he called the raven-haired over. Soraru turned his head at the sound of hearing his name and walked towards the pink haired male.

"Did you need anything?" Soraru asked the males as Urata was also curious on why he was calling them.

"Might sound stupid but you know about my feelings for Luz right?"

"Yes." Soraru was confused a bit, Nqrse was felt nervous on asking the raven-haired for help.

Urata seemed to noticed his nervousness and thought about what it could be. The brunette then realized something as he smirked at the pink haired male.

"You want us to help you with your feelings for Luz~"

Nqrse glared at the smirking brunette before slowly nodding his head. He felt weak having to ask them for help, but he knew that he'd never try if no one gave him a push.

"It's pretty dumb but I think it's best I don't keep these feelings bottled up. It could also affect my powers right?"

"That's true." Soraru replied.

The raven-haired knew firsthand that his feelings affected his ability in the beginning when he was getting used to it. But, I'm already helping Mafu.... He felt like he'd be betraying the albino if he helped Nqrse. After all, he's helping both of them try to win over the same person. Urata noticed the raven-haired's hesitation, he looked between the two before speaking.

"Yeah I'll help you."

"Really?" Nqrse looked at the brunette in surprise, he hadn't expected him to agree.

"Yep. You're our friend after all."

"Thanks."

Nqrse then went towards another game that Mafu was at, leaving the two of them alone. Soraru stared at the brunette, he was slightly angry that Urata had answered for him.

"Why'd you say that?"

"Because you wouldn't say it."

"You know I'm helping Mafu already."

"You're helping Mafu because you want him to be happy right?"

"Well........yeah."

"It's the same for me. Helping Nqrse confess to Luz would make Mafu stop chasing after him."

"So?"

"Then Mafu would start to notice you."

"Why does that matter?"

"Because I want you to be happy."

Soraru stood there stunned after he heard Urata's words. The brunette smiled at him before going to the other two males. The raven-haired didn't know what to do, he wanted to make Mafu happy by helping him with his crush but, he also didn't want to see the two of them together. He sighed, I can never seem to catch a break. He walked towards the three as his feelings kept bouncing around his head.

They had been at the arcade for a few hours before meeting up with the others to go eat something. Soraru was slowly getting a headache from all the noise around him. Mafu was eagerly eating the food as Amatsuki scolded him for eating so fast.

"Mamatsuki has appeared." Sakata joked as the red eyed brunette glared at him.

"Wwww, you guys never stop being energetic." Shima commented as the blonde next to him muttered.

"Like you're one to talk."

"Hey!"

"Hey lovebirds, don't bicker." Luz teased as the two males blushed. They both glared at the light haired male, who smiled innocently.

"We only have a few hours left so should we go to the laser tag now?" Mafu asked as the others as they nodded. They finished eating and headed towards the arena.

"How are we going to split our teams." Sakata asked, they had an odd number of people.

"It can be me, Mafu, Sakata, and Soraru." Shima said.

"Then that means the other team is Nqrse, Luz, Senra, Kashitaro and Amatsuki." Soraru said as he looked at the other five.

"What? No fair~ you guys have Soraru and Shima so of course you'd do good." Luz complained as the raven-haired rolled his eyes.

"I get Shima but why Soraru?" Kashitaro questioned the light haired male, who smiled.

"Soraru plays Splatoon, he's pretty good at it so he knows how to to shoot well."

"Really? Interesting." Nqrse said as he smirked at the raven-haired. Soraru noticed the smirk and gave a smug look back.

"But that doesn't mean he would be good in real life." Mafu mumbled.

The raven-haired was annoyed by the albino's comment and flicked his forehead. Mafu whined in pain as he rubbed his forehead, semi-glaring at the raven-haired.

"Well let's hope this is a good game." Nqrse said as he looked at Soraru. The two males had a competitive atmosphere around them.

"Try not to lose~"

Urata teased the raven-haired, who gave him an annoyed look. Nqrse laughed as they all headed into the arena. It was a fun game, Urata was sitting on one of the arena's layout walls while he looked at the guys run around. The brunette sighed a bit, wonder if I'll ever get a chance to have fun like that too? He bitterly laughed as he knew it was impossible, he was and would forever be a ghost.

The game was over with Nqrse being the victor, Soraru was second and Shima was fourth. The others were somewhere at the bottom. They left the arena smiling and joking around. Soraru looked at Nqrse annoyed while the pink haired male smiled innocently.

"You used your powers to make it look like Shima was there making me not shoot you." Soraru said quietly so only Nqrse could hear. The pink haired male smiled innocently.

"That happened unconsciously."

"Www would that be classified as cheating?"

Nqrse shrugged as he smirked at the raven-haired. Soraru just looked back, competitiveness clearly in his eyes.

"I won't lose next time."

"I'll be waiting."

The two males stopped walking when they noticed that the others had stopped. Nqrse and Soraru walked back to them while the others were deciding on what to do next. Urata saw that someone was near Luz, who was standing close to Nqrse, and smirked. The brunette took control of the other person and made them bump into the light haired male. He left the person's body and watched Luz lose his balance, falling back towards the pink haired male. Nqrse reacted fast and caught the light haired male. Despite his appearance, the pink haired male was pretty strong and was able to hold the taller male.

"Eh? Luz are you okay?"

The others turned their heads to look at the two in confusion. Luz blushed as he stumbled to get back on his feet. He covered his face with the back of his hand as he tried to calm down.

"I-I-I'm fine."

Nqrse titled his head, making the light haired male blush even more. Mafu looked between the two, he saw a small tint of red cover Nqrse's cheek and slightly frowned. Soraru gave Urata an amused look as the brunette smiled back innocently.

"S-So w-what are we g-going to d-do?" Luz tried to switch the topic, he felt his face get warmer.

"We're going to play some more games and try to win some prizes before we leave." Soraru said as the light haired male nodded quickly.

"A-Alright let's go Soraru!" Luz exclaimed as he grabbed the raven-haired's hand and dragged him away, the blush still slightly on his face. He wanted to get away from the pink haired male to recover from his blush.

"Luz seemed a bit too eager to get away." Shima said.

"He's probably just embarrassed, doesn't matter at all." Mafu said in a sharp tone, the others looked at him in slight surprise.

"Eh? Is Mafu maybe jealous~" Amatsuki teased as the albino blushed.

"Let's just get going." Nqrse said as he walked towards the other two. He didn't want to hear the guys start bantering.

"Hey Nqrse, wait up."

Sakata hurried to catch up to the pink haired male. The others followed and once they caught up with the four males, they were met with the sight of Luz clinging onto Soraru.

"Please~"

"Get it yourself."

"But I'll lose for sure, you're better at these type of games than me."

"Ask someone else then."

Luz let go of the raven-haired's arm, who was grateful because his arm was starting to hurt from the pressure. The light haired male crossed his arms and pouted, Nqrse smiled at the cute action.

"Meanie."

"I've been told."

Luz stuck out his tongue, making Soraru roll his eyes at the light haired male's childish antic.

"Get Mafu to win it for you."

"E-Eh?"

The mentioned albino stuttered a bit as he saw the light haired male turn to face him. He felt his heart jump when he saw Luz's pleading eyes.

"Mafu can you win a prize for me~"

"S-Sure!"

Mafu beamed as he moved his gaze towards the raven-haired. Soraru just stared at him in a bored manner, Mafu felt his heart flutter but made an excuse of it being because he was embarrassed with having Soraru help him with Luz. The light haired male dragged the albino towards the game as Soraru watched them leave.

"Wwww it's obvious Mafu likes Luz." Amatsuki said as the other guys turned their heads to look at the red eyes brunette.

"Don't tell me you guys didn't see him blush?" He questioned them.

"We did, it's not hard to tell since Mafu's face is really pale." Kashitaro pointed out.

Soraru and Nqrse were silent during the exchange, Urata looked at them concerned. He decided to do something and looked around to see what he could do to make them stop the topic. The brunette decided to go to the redhead and flicked his forehead. Sakata let out a small yelp at the sudden pain.

"Sakata are you okay?" Senra asked the redhead, who looked utterly confused.

"E-Eh? Oh um.....yes?" Sakata replied, though his voice made him seem unsure.

Soraru and Nqrse looked at Urata in amusement as the brunette shrugged innocently. They just sighed as the redhead was still confused on what hit him. The others were giving the redhead a questionable look after hearing his response before shrugging it away.

"Hey let's go see if they're done playing the game."

Shima walked to where the other two left after he made his statement. Once they caught up to the two, they saw the two males were standing around the arcade, they seemed paranoid about something.

"Is something wrong?" Kashitaro asked the two.

"Um....it feels like someone was following us." Mafu said as the guys looked at them confused.

"Eh? Who?"

"We don't know." Luz said.

Soraru had a slight bad feeling. Please don't let anything happen right now. He looked at the guys, fear can be seen in his eyes. He then noticed that the red eyed brunette was looking around.

"Maybe we should leave now." Amatsuki said uneasily as the others nodded their heads in agreement.

Nqrse could tell the raven-haired was nervous, who wouldn't be when you get told that someone could possibly be following you. The pink haired male was walking along the raven-haired.

"Could it be that one of them will die?"

Soraru tensed up as Nqrse's voice echoed through his mind. Urata was starting to become cautious too, he didn't like this feeling of fear covering the atmosphere.

"Let's hope not."

The guys were walking back to the albino's house, they decided to spend the rest of the day there before going back to their own homes. Along the way, Amatsuki heard something and stopped walking. The others stopped to look at him as the red eyed brunette turned his head to look behind. He then saw a girl was standing there, the expression of someone looking like they were caught doing something was on her face.

"A-Ah, sorry did I startle you?"

"Kinda." Shima said as the girl apologized again.

"I-I just wanted to try to talk to you." She turned her head towards the red eyes brunette, who was confused.

"Um.....You're in my class and I've always been looking at you....."

Amatsuki was starting to realize what this was going to be and felt a bit bad. He didn't want to hurt the girl's feelings.

"A-And I was going to tell you before but I kept getting nervous, but when I saw you at the arcade I decided to take a chance."

"Ah... sorry but—"

"I-I like you, will you be my boyfriend?"

The others looked at Kashitaro, they knew that Amatsuki was going to turn the girl down but they still were worried about Kashitaro. The brunette just sighed and smiled at them, he was used to people asking Amatsuki out.

"I already have someone."

The girl looked distraught as the red eyed brunette rejected her. Amatsuki felt bad and just looked at her upset face.

"Y-You do? B-But m-maybe—"

"Sorry but I don't reciprocate you feelings. But you'll probably find someone else, probably someone better than me." Amatsuki smiled kindly as he tried to reassure the girl, who looked down.

"Oh....is that it? Okay, sorry for bothering you."

Her bangs covered her eyes as she walked away. Soraru just watched her leave, a weird feeling was crawling in his stomach as he looked at the indistinguishable expression on her face.

"So she was the one following us." Mafu said as he sighed in relief. He thought it might've been some bullies or people with harmful intentions.

"Well at least that was cleared up." Sakata said, they continued walking to the albino's house.

The strange feeling still wasn't leaving Soraru even after the girl had left. He looked up at the sky, it was slowly getting darker as the moon becoming slightly visible and faintly shining.
