Soraru was watching the scene in front of him in amusement. Nqrse was teasing the light-haired male, who was blushing and shouting at him. Luz and Mafu had asked the raven-haired male if he wanted to hang out with them since they had no school. Soraru was going to decline them, that is until Urata took control of his body and made him agree. The brunette then left the male and went off somewhere on his own. Of course not before teasing the raven-haired for going on a date with Mafu, which Soraru denied. At some point they had spotted Nqrse and brought him along, it was more like forcing him to join them, courtesy of the light-haired male.

So here he was, at a cafe with the three of them, Luz sitting next to him as the other two were sitting in front of him. Soraru and Mafu were just laughing as Luz's face become bright red as Nqrse just teased him.

"Y-Yamete!"

"Just admit that you were embarrassed."

"N-Never!"

"Wwww. Luz looks so cute when he's blushing~" Mafu commented, causing the mentioned male to blush even more.

"O-Oh y-yeah? W-Well you sometimes get embarrassed when you're talking to Soraru!" Luz retorted, it was Mafu's turn to blush now. Soraru's calm composure faltered a bit and then looked at the albino with an amused expression.

"L-Luz i-is j-just i-imagining things." The albino retorted back, Luz is misunderstanding. The two of them were glaring at each other, though their blushes didn't help them.

"You two act like a bickering couple." Nqrse commented, Mafu froze a bit as his face was about five different shades of red. Luz just stared at the pink-haired male, his blush slowly beginning to fade.

"No we're not!"
"N-No!"

"Sure, sure. Hey Soraru don't they look like one?" Nqrse turned to looked at the raven-haired male. Soraru looked at the two, one was blushing while the other seemed to be pouting.

"Not really, they just look like idiots."

"Hey!"

"How mean~" Luz whined as he jokingly hugged the raven-haired, who had his arms crossed and rose his eyebrow at the light-haired. Mafu pouted at Luz's affection for the raven-haired.

"Geez Luz just choose who you want the most, don't keep switching. If you don't, then I'll just take Soraru." Nqrse joked as the light-haired glared at him.

"You're so annoying."

Luz let go of his unreciprocated hug and crossed his arms with a pout. He mumbled something that the three couldn't hear while glaring at Soraru, who looked at him confused.

"Why are you glaring at me?"

"Because you keep getting....."

"Getting what?"

"Nothing."

Soraru just sighed as he got up from his seat. "It's getting late anyways so we should get going."

"You just want to leave early to play video games." Luz muttered, arms still crossed, as Soraru glared at him.

"Come one let's get going." Nqrse said towards the light-haired who was still pouting.

The pink-haired's smile made Luz's pout slightly falter. Mafu got up from his seat and grabbed the raven-haired's arm to stop him from leaving them behind.

"Fine." Luz finally budged and got up as the pink-haired just shook his head at the other's action.

They split the bill and left the cafe, not before Mafu decided to buy some sweets to go. They all walked together as they chatted, it was more of the three talking while Soraru blocked them out. Nqrse had to drag the raven-haired into the conversation.

Luz and Nqrse eventually parted ways with the other two as Soraru and Mafu walked back together. The albino's house was nearby the raven-haired's, by maybe about 10 minutes. Mafu was in front of his house when he grabbed Soraru's arm. The raven-haired was pulled back by the sudden force stopping him and looked at the albino.

"Here Soraru."

Mafu handed him the bag of sweets as Soraru looked at it in confusion.

"Should I ask why?"

"Eh? I can't just give my friend something?"

"Sure, but why me and not Luz? Or Nqrse?"

"Ah, because......"

The albino was silent as Soraru just stared at him. Soraru had noticed that the albino was nervously looking away, Soraru found the action cute. Even though they joke about it, he does seem like an adorable angel. Soraru widened his eyes at the thought and turned his head in an attempt to hide his blush.

"Because...because you're my friend! Plus you said before that you don't have feelings for me so you wouldn't misunderstand this."

"Eh?" Soraru was confused as the albino blushed while he spoke again.

"I-If I g-give them to N-Nqrse t-then s-someone else m-might m-misunderstand." Mafu widened his eyes as he quickly added to his statement. "A-Ah s-same goes to L-Luz too! I-I don't want people to think bad of them just because of a misunderstanding."

Soraru just stood there confused as Mafu kept blushing. Soraru had noticed that the albino had been blushing a lot lately.

"But you seem like you don't care about what others say so here." Mafu calmed himself down as he handed Soraru the bag.

"A-Ah t-thanks..." Soraru stuttered a bit as Mafu smiled, it warmed the raven-haired's heart.

"Bye Soraru."

Mafu waved at the raven-haired as Soraru just watched him enter his house. Soraru snapped out of his stunned state and walked to his house, his heart didn't seem to stop beating. He was lost in his thoughts and only managed to snap out in fear as Urata had appeared in front of him.

"What's with you looking like a hot mess ww."

"Where were you?" Soraru had been wondering where his friend was while he was with the other three.

"Just floating around town with Yamadanuki following me."

"Ah. Well at least you don't seem bored." Urata grinned as he noticed the bag that Soraru had.

"Ah~ so Mafu gave you a present. How sweet~"

"Oi." Soraru began to blush again, really? I was just recovering from before.

"Wwww. Don't think I didn't see that."

"If you were here before then why didn't you pop up like you usually do?"

"I didn't want to ruin the cute atmosphere."

"Can it."

"Threats won't work on me. Though I'm curious on why he seemed to give it to you. His reason was.....kinda strange don't you think?"

"Yeah, but no point in bothering with it."

"Sure. Well let's go. Ah~ just a few more weeks and then you'll have summer break. And we can spend the time playing games."

"I look forward to that."

"I'm going to beat your ass in Mario Kart."

"Oi."

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

The June summer sunlight shone threw the curtains of the raven-haired's room. They only had a week until summer vacation began, they first had to deal with the dreaded exams. The raven-haired had been hanging out with the others quite often now. They would always drag him along with them, whether it'd be Luz, Mafu or even Kashitaro, Soraru could never seem to escape them. He had become an ordinary member in their party, Mafu's words not him.

Speaking of the albino, Soraru had eventually found the answer to his question concerning what the albino was to him. The question that had been on his mind ever since he began to pay more attention towards the albino. He had figured out the answer last night after the albino had decided to talk to him.

And he hated it. Absolutely hated it. He hated it so much that he wished he could just erase his memory. Want to know what he hated so badly with ever inch of his body?

He hated that Urata was right.

The raven-haired male had realized that he had a small, tiny, itty bitty crush on Mafu. He had actual feelings for someone. He was surprised at how the albino managed to win his heart. Soraru was never fully in love with someone when they dated him, but he could tell that his feelings for the albino were real. He enjoyed the times he was with the albino.

Urata was right, he was lovestruck.

Soraru groaned as he covered his face with his pillow. He was glad that Urata was still asleep right now, he didn't want to deal with his teasings at the moment. Soraru removed the pillow and just stared at his ceiling. It was strange to him, to finally gain genuine feelings for someone. Because of his powers, he stopped worrying about things like love. It was hard for him to care about people when having to ability to reset time would make those people forget the special moments they had together.

He was already starting to recognize his feelings towards the albino whenever they hung out together. Mafu had been smiling and talking with him. One day they were walking back home together, the albino had hugged the raven-haired as he said goodbye to him. Soraru blushed at the sudden hug and noticed how he felt upset when the warmth of the albino's hug left. That was when Soraru realized that he might've liked Mafu, but he denied it feelings. And after talking and joking with the albino last night, he confirmed his feelings were in fact— love.

Urata had found out and wouldn't stop teasing him for it. Soraru hated how he kept denying his feelings, only to find out that he was wrong and Urata was right. The brunette kept bragging, which is why Soraru hates it when Urata is right, just gives the brunette even more of a reason to brag. I sometimes want to reset time just to stop Urata from finding out. But alas, the brunette would remember it so there was no point. He just had to deal with him bragging and acting cocky.

Soraru noticed that his phone was lighting up, he sat up in his bed and grabbed it. He had again woken up early, his thoughts wouldn't let him sleep well. Who knew that feelings could come by so fast. He looked at the group chat, which was as lively as ever.

Sakata: good morning guys!!!

Nqrse: good morning

Luz: im surprised that you're awake at this time

Sakata: how mean Luz~

Mafu: did you guys study for the exams

Amatsuki: mafu, you're asking as if we ever do

Kashitaro: speak for yourself

Shima: yes Kashi we all know how you're the prefect student

Kashitaro: its too early for your sarcasm

Shima: its too early for you to scold us

Senra: can you guys please not bicker this early in the morning

Shima: sorry Senra

Sakata: wwww of course Shima would apologize

Shima: oi!

Mafu: ah, are we spamming Soraru again

Luz: he probably muted us

Soraru just sighed as he saw the albino send emojis and pictures of his pet cat in the chat as a way to annoy the raven-haired. Soraru decided not to reply to them as he was still processing his new found emotions. He was grateful for having a natural neutral face, he could hide his feelings from the other. He didn't want Mafu to find out already when he was still trying to comprehend it.

Soraru: you're all too annoying

Shima: so you finally decided to talk www

Luz: glad to see that you're alive

Soraru rolled his eyes at the light-haired male's text as he felt someone rest their elbows against his head.

"So how's the tsundere been~"

"It's too early for your teasing."

"Wwww did the other guys influence you by saying that?"

Soraru just sighed as Urata grinned. The brunette was happy that the raven-haired had gained feelings, he was worried that his ability had made him stop bothering to fall in love. Urata took the phone from Soraru's hand as he scrolled through the text. He just laughed at their antics, they're all so strange. Urata smiled when he saw the redhead's greeting. So energetic, like an idiot.

"Are you done?" Soraru asked, he yawned as he got out of his bed.

"Nope~ I want to see what you guys talk about."

"Just don't do anything that'll embarrass me."

Soraru headed towards the bathroom to get ready, he knew that there was no point in telling Urata that. He also knows that he probably shouldn't trust the brunette with his phone but he was too tired to deal with it.

"No promises~"

Urata kept looking at their text, his eyes landing on the redhead's name everything he saw it pop up. What's so special about him? Urata was still trying to understand what he felt towards the redhead. He just brushed it aside, doesn't matter.

Amatsuki: so are we all ready to fail the exams

Sakata: yep

Mafu: yes~

Luz: possibly

Shima: i've already accepted failure

Nqrse: seriously you guys

Kashitaro: you guys are a bunch of children

Senra: just leave them be Kahsi

Urata decided to reply to them for Soraru. He was typing as the raven-haired male entered his room again, he was wearing his uniform instead of the plain black t-shirt.

Soraru: i dont know bout you guys but i studied

It was true, the raven-haired male had studied for it, as a way to clear and calm his mind.

Mafu: eh?!?

Luz: noooooo
Luz: you were suppose to fail with your friend~

Urata showed Soraru the text, the raven-haired male just rolled his eyes at Luz's comment. Urata handed the male his phone as they went downstairs. Soraru ate a quick breakfast before leaving the house to head towards the school.

"So how will you confront Mafu~"

"I'll just act like a usually do."

"So you'll be your tsundere self I see. Okay."

"Oi."

Soraru semi-glared at the brunette, he wasn't looking where he was going and bumped into someone. The person stumbled a bit before turning to see the raven-haired.

"E-Eh? Oh, hi Soraru."

Urata just stared, his eyes not seeming to leave the person, as the raven-haired realized who it was.

"Hey Sakata."

"Sorry for Mafu spamming you. He always does that when he's bored or wants attention."

"I can tell."

Sakata just smiled at the raven-haired, who smiled back. Out of the other seven guys, Sakata was the one that Soraru didn't mind. The redhead was able to know and understand when the raven-haired wanted to be left alone. Urata just followed behind them, his eyes on the two as he slightly pouted as the redhead talked to Soraru.

Soraru really does seem popular between the guys. Even the idiot wants to talk to him. Urata felt jealous but he didn't know why. Was it because of Soraru or Sakata? The brunette shook his head, I'm probably just afraid that Soraru won't talk to me as much as before. Urata just frowned, he was happy for Soraru but a part of him felt like the raven-haired was forgetting about him more and more.

Urata looked up from his down expression to see Soraru looking at him concerned. Sakata was looking at his phone so he didn't notice the raven-haired turn his head back.

"You okay?"

"I'm fine."

"That's a lie. You're not making any snarky comments so something has to be going on."

Urata just smiled at his friend's statement, he knows me too well. Urata went ahead of the two so that he was now in front of them. He was floating upside down, his hair dangling, as he grinned.

"Is someone worried about me~"

"I didn't miss your snarky personality but glad to know you're okay now."

"Wwww. Thanks."

Urata felt reassured after that. The raven-haired was the only friend he had left, well the only one that could see him. Being a ghost had made him a bit insecure as he was worried that one day Soraru would abandon him, and he'd be alone for good. But seeing his friend show concern towards him, it made him happy. Urata was teasing the raven-haired male, who was trying his best not to slip in front of Sakata, as they walked to the school.
