The guys made it back to their class, just two more days left and exams are over. And then a few more days till summer break is here. However, they have to wait a bit for that but as for now, the rest of the day was well........ pretty boring. Soraru and Nqrse were paying attention to the teacher, they wanted to make sure to be prepared for the next days. Well Soraru was trying, his thoughts just kept going back to the albino. They went from how cute he was to what he wanted to tell him. The raven-haired would be lying if he said that he wasn't curious, Mafu even seemed to look a bit nervous about it.

"Watch it be a confession~"

Urata teased the raven-haired, Soraru just blocked him out of his thoughts. He didn't want to deal with the brunette's teasings and just wanted some peace and quiet, though having Urata around didn't ensure that.

"Don't try to ignore me!"

"I wish I could."

"Hmph. What are you going to do if I'm right."

Soraru cringed at the idea of Urata being right...... again. The raven-haired doesn't want to hear the brunette to brag about for a whole month. However, Soraru has doubts about it.

"You're not right."

"You can never be too sure of it."

"Let's just wait until the end of the day."

"Fine, but when he does, I'll say I told you so."

"Shut up."

The school day ended, Soraru and Nqrse were heading towards the gates. Along the way they talked about what they should do so they can study a bit more for the exams.

"Maybe the nine of us can have a study group today?" Nqrse suggested as Soraru thought about it for a bit.

"That seems chaotic." Soraru could only imagine what would happen with the nine of them studying together.

"Ww, that's true. They wouldn't be studying at all."

"Well maybe at least Senra and Kashitaro, as for the others though...." Soraru trailed off, he didn't even have to say it as the pink-haired male was able to understand where the raven-haired was going at.

"Well, let's see what they say. If Mafu agrees to it then it's basically decided. Once he gets an idea he won't stop."

"I pity you guys for having to deal with that."

"And then you'll be the one dealing with Mafu once you guys start dating~"

Urata laughed as he saw Soraru begin to turn red because of his blush. The raven-haired gave him a side glare as they meet the others by the gates. They were all teasing the blonde, who was covering his face with his hand.

"I swear you guys...."

Senra looked away from them, his blush becoming worse and worse. Shima just grinned as he hugged the blonde.

"You're just so cute when you blush~"

Senra pushed away the purple-haired, who was whining about his boyfriend not appreciating his affection. Senra noticed the two males approaching and called out to them as a way to escape the others' teasings.

"Hey guys."

The others turned to see Soraru and Nqrse had arrived. They all greeted the two, Nqrse replied back as Soraru just nodded.

"Are we doing anything today?" Kashitaro asked as the others just shrugged.

"Nqrse was thinking about doing a study group." Soraru told them as the pink-haired male nodded.

"Eh? Why would we do that?" Amatsuki whined as Kashitaro rolled his eyes at his boyfriend's complaint.

"So you guys don't flunk the exams."

Nqrse gave the brunette an accusing look. Amatsuki was about to retort before closing his mouth as nothing came out. He just stuck out his tongue in a childish manner as the pink-haired male rolled his eyes.

"That's not a bad idea." Sakata said as he grinned.

"Is it though?" Kashitaro mumbled as Senra nodded in agreement with the brunette's question

"I think it's good, we can help each other." Shima said as he grinned at the blonde.

"Only because it'd benefit you." Senra retorted as the purple-haired glared at his boyfriend for the accusation.

"So are we going to do it today?" Sakata asked the guys, Mafu thought about it for a bit.

"I have to help around the house today, so let's do it tomorrow." Luz said as the others agreed with the idea.

"See ya guys tomorrow." Shima said as he grabbed Senra's hand and walked away.

"Bye guys."

Amatsuki said to then with a smile before walking ahead. Kashitaro just shook his head in amusement and waved at them goodbye before following the brunette. The remaining five just laughed at the two leaving couples.

"Well I guess we should go now." Nqrse said as he began to walk. Sakata and Luz were following behind him, they walked about 5 steps before realizing that Mafu and Soraru weren't following them.

"Eh? You guys aren't coming?" Luz asked the two males. Soraru was about to reply when Mafu cut him off.

"I-I have t-to stay after school to do something." Mafu stuttered as he blushed, he timidly looked at the light haired male.

"What about you Soraru?" Nqrse asked the raven-haired.

"I have to get something from the store for my parents." Soraru swiftly lied as the others gave them still confused looks.

"You were able to come up with that lie pretty fast. I'm impressed."

Urata teased as Soraru gave him a side glare. The brunette just smirked as the raven-haired silently sighed.

"Ok, bye guys." Sakata smiled at the two, Urata felt himself smile back.

"Look who's smiling."

Urata turned to see Soraru have a small smirk on his face. The brunette was confused on why he was smirking before his brain registered the raven-haired's words. He blushed as he glared at Soraru.

"Shut it!"

"Bye."

Mafu waved at them, when he saw that they were out of sight he grabbed the raven-haired's arm and dragged him back into the school. Mafu was pulling him around until he stopped when they were at a corner near the vending machines. Mafu looked around, some students were nearby but they were busy with their own conversations. Mafu sighed in relief and looked at Soraru, who was giving him a look that was telling him to explain. Mafu smiled as he asked the raven-haired a random question.

"Hey Soraru do you want a drink?"

"Eh?"

"I mean I dragged you so I kinda feel bad and want to repay you."

"I've been meaning to ask, why are you constantly doing things for me?"

Mafu gave the raven-haired a confused look as Soraru leaned against the vending machine. Urata was laying on his stomach on top of the vending machine like a cat as he watched the two.

"Ah~ so you're pretty observant."

"Want to explain?"

"W-Well y-you see......."

Mafu trailed off as he played with the hem of his uniform. Soraru found the action to be cute. He noticed that the albino was blushing, Urata noticed too. The brunette teased the raven-haired as he began to grin.

"Ah~ the confession."

"Shut it."

"Wwww, are you embarrassed that I'm right again~"

"Urata, quit it."

"S-Soraru!" The raven-haired stopped his small bickering with the brunette and looked at the albino, who's face was still red.

"Yes?"

"D-Do you like Luz?"

"Eh? No." The raven-haired was confused by the albino's question.

"Really?" Mafu sighed in relief, Soraru took notice of the action and became even more confused on why the albino had asked that.

"Why do you want to know? Actually you keep asking about me and Luz's relationship." Soraru thought back what Urata told him before, how Mafu asked Luz if they were dating.

"I-I-It's b-because......" Mafu trailed off, his face becoming even more red.

"Because I-I-I....." Soraru was beginning to believe that Urata was right, the albino is stuttering and blushing at the moment.

"I-I-I like Luz!"

"Eh?"

"What?"

The raven-haired and brunette just stared at the albino dumbstruck. Mafu was looking at the ground, not wanting Soraru to see his blushing face. Soraru didn't know what to say and just stood there. Mafu rose his head as he twiddled his fingers.

"Y-You're h-his f-friend so I-I was h-hoping that maybe y-you'd h-help me if I-I got close to y-you."

Urata just looked at his friend in concern. The raven-haired had just recently found out about his feelings for the albino, so hearing Mafu just confess that he likes his friend made the brunette worry. Soraru just stared at Mafu, still not responding. While Urata was becoming more and more worried at the raven-haired, Soraru was debating against him.

He wasn't sure how to feel: jealous, upset, angry, happy? The raven-haired just accepted his feelings for Mafu but now he was doubting himself. Should I agree to help him or not... Soraru didn't like the idea of the albino dating Luz, but he also didn't want to make him upset by saying no. Plus Luz was his friend and if there was a chance the light haired male returned the feelings, Soraru didn't want to go in between them. He didn't want this small crush to break his friendship. He glanced at Mafu, who was silent as he was waiting for a response. His eyes then landed on the brunette, who was looking at him with eyes that showed worried. That's right, I was selfish before. And that selfishness made his friend suffer. Soraru sighed, he pushed away the feelings that were gnawing him as he replied to the albino.

"Sure."

Urata and Mafu widened their eyes as they stared at the raven-haired in surprise. Mafu just stared at Soraru in shock as Urata frowned.

"Are you fucking serious?"

Soraru slightly glanced up to see the brunette still staring at him in disbelief. The raven-haired ignored the brunette as he smiled at the albino.

"No, you can't be serious."

"...."

"Oi! Don't just ignore me!"

Urata was pissed and got down from his spot on the vending machine as he floated in front of the raven-haired.

"You have feelings for him but you're just going to help him with his crush on someone else?!"

Soraru just stared at the brunette, no reaction or expression whatsoever. Urata's frown and anger was starting to slip away as he just stared at his friend, his face became full of sorrow.

"You really are serious...."

His voice became quieter as Soraru still gave him no reaction. Urata just groaned in frustration as he crossed his arms, he felt disappointed at the raven-haired.

"You're really going to help me?" Mafu asked Soraru, who just nodded.

"T-Thanks!" Mafu beamed as Soraru smiled, though Urata could see that it was a sad smile.

"I-I feel bad asking you for this." Mafu felt guilty on having to rely on Soraru to help him for something pathetic.

"It's okay." Soraru reassured the albino, he was saying those words for Mafu....and for himself too. He glanced at the brunette, Urata wasn't looking at the raven-haired.

"So you can act nice for once."

"Oi." Soraru glared at the albino who just giggled, the raven-haired ignored his heart fluttering.

"So how are we going to do this?"

"I can try to get you two to be together at most times."

"Oh that's right, we have the study group." Mafu smiled to himself and then looked at Soraru with his bright smile.

"Thanks Soraru, it means a lot to me. Well bye." Mafu walked away as Soraru just watched him leave.

"You're an idiot."

Soraru turned to see Urata was frowning at him. The raven-haired just shrugged as he headed towards the school exit.

"Why are you helping him? Don't you like him?"

Urata still couldn't believe it, Soraru was just beginning to love someone and now he'll just toss it all away. The brunette just couldn't understand why the raven-haired was hurting himself by helping Mafu.

"Yeah I do and I want him to be happy, so if helping him with Luz makes him happy then so be it. I'll push aside my feelings if it means I can see him smile."

Plus if I'm selfish again, he'll just suffer. Like you. Urata stopped as he stared at Soraru, who was still walking ahead. The brunette widened his eyes as the raven-haired's thought registered in his brain. Urata looked down at the ground, so you still blame yourself for that day.
