The guys just watched Kana disappear with Mafu. They all didn't like the look on her face, it scared them and made them worry about Mafu. Soraru was going to follow them but Kashitarou grabbed his arm. The raven-haired male gave his brunette friend a questioning look.

"I don't think you should go. She looked like she was about to kill you." Kashitarou looked worriedly at his childhood friend.

"But Mafu—"

Sakata began to say before he saw the brunette's cold stare. This was the first time the redhead had seen Kashitarou look serious. Sakata just shrunk back and moved a bit behind Urata. The green-eyed brunette glared at Kashitarou for scaring the younger.

"I'm just saying maybe wait for her to calm down a bit before going." Kashitarou gave the raven-haired male a pleading look.

"You could get hurt."

Soraru glared at the brunette, who was still holding his arm to stop him from moving. He didn't like the idea of leaving Mafu alone with Kana.

"Kashi, is there a reason you don't want Soraru to go after them?"

Kashitarou looked at Amatsuki, who was a bit worried at how his boyfriend was acting a bit colder. Kashitarou looked at the rest of them, he could see their worried and confused looks, before sighing and letting go of Soraru.

"I'm just worried that she's reached to the point of doing something drastic to get Soraru."

"So you just want me to leave them alone, when Mafu could possibly get injured."

Soraru looked at Kashitarou as if he was out of his mind.

"She won't hurt him."

"But didn't you just—" Kashitarou cut off Senra and began to walk away.

"She's capable of hurting someone but I doubt she'd do anything to Mafu. She can probably tell that you care about him so she won't hurt him. She's not dumb enough to do something that'll make you hate her even more."

"But she's dumb enough to drag him away, cause I doubt that forcefully taking away Mafu would not make Soraru hate her." Urata sarcastically said as Kashitarou just sighed.

"Well, you can go to them now. She might've calmed down a bit. Good luck trying to find them." Kashitarou just gave Soraru a poker face and walked away.

"What are you going to do niichan?"

Sakata looked at his brother, Soraru was debating on whether he should listen to Kashitarou or not. Soraru just sighed and turned his back to them.

"See ya guys later." Soraru walked in the direction that Kana had taken Mafu.

"This is the first time I've seen them disagree on something." Sakata said as he watched his brother disappear into the crowd in the hallway.

"Something always happens to go wrong whenever we decide to enjoy things." Shima bitterly said as they began to follow in the direction that the older brunette had left.

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

Kana had dragged a confused Mafu away from his friends, he didn't like the serious look on her face. Mafu winced as he felt Kana's nails dig into his sleeves. He was nervous and scared of being alone with her. What is she planning on doing?

The more she continued to drag him, the more worried he became. The albino wanted nothing more but to run back to the others, into the safety of Soraru's presence. He saw that they were no longer in the hallways, she had taken him behind the curtains of the stage in the gym.

After they made it to the curtains, were no one can see them, Kana let go of his arm and turned to face him. Mafu could see the glare and serious expression on her face. I don't like this.

"I'm going to be straightforward with you. What's your relationship with Soraru?"

Mafu blinked at the question before slightly blushing, though she couldn't tell. What am I to Soraru..... After a few moments of silence, Mafu replied to the girl's question, the words pierced his heart as he spoke them.

"I-I'm j-just h-his f-f-f-friend."

"Bullshit. I'm not buying that."

Kana crossed her arms as she narrowed her eyes. Mafu shrunk back in fear at her harsh tone. It was like she was a predator stalking its prey, ready to kill it.

"I-I-It's t-t-true."

"Like I'm going to believe that Soraru would be friends with someone as pathetic as you."

Her words were like a knife plunged into his stomach. "Why would he care about a weak person who's clinging onto him." The more she spoke, the more the knife twisted.

"H-He's o-o-only f-f-friends with m-m-me b-b-because of S-Sakata."

Mafu was on the verge of tears as his voice began to shake. A thought crossed his mind after he spoke, what if that's the truth? We only got to talk to him because we meet Sakata. If it wasn't for him then Soraru would've never talked to us.

Mafu felt tears begin to appear in his eyes as he started to think that Soraru probably only tolerated them for Sakata's sake. He did say he'd do anything for Sakata....

"So then why do you cling onto him? Why do you always seem happy when you're with him? Why doesn't he seem annoyed by you?" Kana took a deep breath as her voice became emotionless at the next question.

"Do you like Soraru?" Mafu widened his eyes as Kana's last question processed through his mind.

The albino looked down at the ground, he didn't know if he should tell her. She likes Soraru so if I tell her my feelings, she might get even angrier at me. She could attack me, no one would even know since we're behind the curtains, and she could also hurt Soraru.

Mafu widened his eyes at the thought, he then blinked his eyes to get rid of the small tears. He looked at Kana, staring straight into her eyes as he spoke while trying not to stutter.

"I-I'm just a friend. I-I have n-no f-feelings for him."

Mafu felt his heart break, he couldn't handle the pain as tears fell from in his eyes.

"I-I'm n-nothing s-s-special to him and n-never w-will be." Kana just looked at the albino.

"Is that so?"

Her voice was emotionless, no trace of anger, seriousness or even happiness. She just sighed and looked at the albino, I get it now. Guess I underestimated him. Mafu was still looking at the ground so he didn't see Kana's pitiful stare.

"What an idiot. I hate you."

"W-What?" Mafu was startled by what she said.

"Just as I said, you're an idiot. The idiot that has taken Soraru away from me."

Nafu was confused on what she meant, shouldn't she be happy that I said I have no feelings for Soraru? Mafu saw tears stains on the ground, his tears, and he realized that Kana had just seen him cry. Ah, she could probably tell I was lying.

"How pathetic are you to cry........but no wonder why he cares about you."

Mafu looked up to see her mouth in a thin line.

"So he likes people that are weak. Not surprising since he has always helped that redhead."

The albino was confused on what she was talking about.

"Honestly, I hate you, so much that I was planning on actually hurting you because you took Soraru away from me. But seeing your pathetic state, it made me realize why he seemed to like you. Whenever I would mention you, he'd perk up a bit and he would never push you away when you were close together. You're so kind to everyone, even to those that are trying to hurt you, so I bet he feels like he should be the one to protect you."

Mafu just blinked, stunned, as Kana kept talking.

"He'd always stare at you when you guys walk by, ignoring me. I've never seen him smile as much as he does when you're around."

Mafu continued to stay silent as the words flew into his head.

"I'll stop chasing after Soraru, it seems like he already has someone so there's no room for me to meddle." Kana just walked away from the albino, who just stood there. She stopped walking, her back facing the albino's back, and turned her head to look at him. "But if you decide to mess up then I will go after him again." She walked away, as she was about to open the gym doors to leave she was meet with a worried Soraru. They looked at each other's eyes for a bit, her poker face staring back at his worried expression.

"Don't worry I did nothing to the pathetic boy. Who knew you would fall for someone emotionally as weak as him. Well, I give up. Good luck, you don't have to worry about anything since I'm sure the feelings are mutual."

She walked past him as Soraru just turned his head to watch her leave. Soraru just bitterly laughed as he just remembered the kind girl from back then. Even though she's rude and a bitch, guess there's still a part of her that hasn't changed at all. Soraru walked towards the curtains and was meet with the albino crouched on the floor, his eyes filled with tears and were red. Well his eyes are already red, but you can tell he was crying. He felt his heart break a bit at the sight of an upset albino. He was going to say something comforting to the albino but his sarcastic brain ignored that idea.

"You don't look cute when you're crying." So much for being nice.

Mafu jumped at the sudden voice and looked up to see Soraru in front of him.

"S-S-Soraru!" Mafu exclaimed surprised by the raven-haired male's appearance.

He quickly wiped his eyes to get rid of the tears and looked at the older confused.

"Why are you here?"

"Cause the others were worried about you so they thought it'd be better for me to follow you guys." And I was worried about you too, but as if Soraru would say that out loud.

"O-Oh."

"So what happened?"

"S-She just asked me something b-before saying that s-she would g-give up on you.."

"Yeah, she told me that she'd leave me alone."

Mafu just let out an 'oh' as the two were surrounded by silence.

"So are you going to tell me what she asked you?"

"I-I-It's n-not i-important."

Mafu looked down at the ground. I'm nothing to Soraru so I shouldn't tell him. If I say it, it would ruin our friendship. Mafu decided to keep his feelings to himself, he knows that they wouldn't be returned, and if he said them then it would break the bridge in between them.

"Are you sure?"

The raven-haired male gave Mafu a look that was saying 'I'm not buying that.' Mafu just stood up and didn't bother looking at the older.

"I said it's nothing important!" Mafu forcefully said, startling the raven-haired a bit.

He was going to walk away when he felt himself being pulled back and was embraced by the raven-haired male. Eh? EH?! Mafu blushed as Soraru was hugging him, the raven-haired's head was buried in his shoulder.Soraru didn't want the albino to see the blush on his face, this is embarrassing.

They stood still for awhile before Soraru let go of the hug, Mafu wished that they could stay like that a little longer. As the albino looked up to face Soraru, he saw a sight that made his heart flutter. Soraru was covering his face with the back of his hand and looking away from the albino. Mafu could see that his ears were tinted red, why is Soraru like that?

"S-Sorry I w-was j-just w-worried that you seemed upset....and I-I...."

Now this was something new to the albino, a stuttering Soraru. He blushed as he saw a new side of the raven-haired male, a side no one else knew about.

"Soraru are you okay?"

"Y-You're an idiot." Mafu gave him an annoyed look, what's with people calling me an idiot?

"You really are an idiot for making feel like this." At the raven-haired's statement, Mafu blinked.

"Eh?"

"I-I-I l-like y-you...." Soraru's voice became quiet and silence enveloped the two. Eh? Mafu gave the older a dumbstruck face as Soraru glared at him, though it didn't do much with his blushing face.

"Oi! Don't make me say it again."

Mafu continued to blink as his brain was processing the raven-haired's words. Tears began to appear in his eyes, worrying the older who began to panic.

"Eh? S-Stop crying."

"S-Sorry. I-I'm just happy that my feelings are r-requited. I-I-I t-thought you w-wouldn't l-like me."

Soraru smiled as he wiped the tears from the happy, crying albino.

"Oi. Quit crying. You don't look cute."

"Hey! That's mean Soraru."

Mafu pouted, but his big grin contradicted his action. He hugged the raven-haired male who returned the hug, blushing from embarrassment. Ah, so Soraru likes me~ I must be lucky to have someone like him.

"Good thing we're behind the curtains so no can see us."

"Wwww. Soraru's embarrassed."

"Shut it."

"I love you Soraru."

"Yeah. The feelings are mutual."

A/n

Soraru confessed, wwww. I finished writing this in school (I just so badly wanted to write out the scene~)

Well now we have our final couple, but that doesn't mean the story is over. I've planned to end the book once the school year is complete (cause at the start of the book they just began the school year so I want to make it end at the end of the school year and there is another backstory~)

Thanks for reading the chapter, hope you enjoyed it.
