Anyway onto the chapter—

(Y/n) heads straight home after rushing out of the campus. The weather wasn't great, it was drizzling but they didn't come home drenched in the slightest.

Peering into their house while slipping off their shoes, they see Venti happily bantering with their mom who appeared happy to be seeing the youthful lad after such a long time.

"(Y/n)! (Y/n)!!!" Venti greets their friend. They could feel the bad news coming from planets away.

"I heard from Kokomi!"

And there it was.

"I told your mom about it too!" He continues, all smiles. (Y/n) was too drained to spare a scowl and just trudged to the sofa, dropping their bag to the side.

"So Kokomi is that enthusiastic about me liking someone huh. Told Venti even before I could get home myself." They rubbed their tired eyes. "So you came here just to tell me Kokomi told you? Then you had to tell my mom about it?"

"Huh? I was talking about how you started painting." His braid swayed with an invisible gust of (Y/n)'s dismay. The way his dark blue hair almost a hue of curious black that faded into a vibrant aqua, framed his head that turned in confusion with the tips of his lips curled. They knew just how bad they screwed up.

"(Y/n) you like—"

"Golf balls. Now come let's go to the nearest store to buy some." They cut Venti off and walk up to him, a quick 'see ya mom' before grabbing his wrist and taking him with them outside the house.

"Sooo, are you going to tell me about this 'liking someone' thing?" Venti asks, wearing a puppy like expression.

"On the condition that you do not tell anyone about this or I'll go to your place and vent my frustrations by shattering all your bottles of wine."

"Scary (y/n)."

"Is it a deal or no?"

"A deal." He almost let out a whimper, imagining them breaking down his door like he was a criminal to waltz into his stash of wine, wreaking havoc.

"The guy who tutors me... Kamisato Ayato. I mean he's smart and hot and I don't know what to do so I ended up telling Kokomi about it. Just a while ago before I left school."

"Aww look at you! Finally getting back into love and coming to your besties for love advice. Also do you know this man behind you?" He points nonchalantly at a certain long blue haired individual who had been standing behind them for a while now with his arms crossed.

"Are you taking me seriously right now? You know I don't fall for those there's someone behind you tricks."

"Uhh." Venti looks genuinely perplexed, blinking a few times then squinting at the man who continued silently watching them. "I haven't drank anything today how could I be drunk."

(Y/n) shakes their head. "The point is I can't keep running from him forever or i'll look like a dumbass. And the more I try to ignore these feelings the more it gets worse. Why the hell does he call me his student? Why does he act so damn possessive sometimes like can't I just enjoy a painting session with a friend? And he forces me to look at his face for what? To acknowledge he has a beauty mark on quite literally a very kissable place? It's frustrating."

"He... Has a beauty mark you say?" Venti stares at the man who was beginning to hold back laughter. "(Y/n)... There's r—"

"Then what's even more frustrating is this confusing relationship he has with his ex. I caught them making out once you know! And I hear different stories from both sides. Who am I supposed to trust?"

"I, I really don't know." Venti nervously shifts in place, wondering if the man behind them was real or not.

"And just while I was opening up to Kokomi about this earlier he entered my classroom and I didn't know how to react so I just left without saying anything. I've been avoiding him all day because I can't collect myself and I want to focus on my acads."

"Yeah you really care about your grades."

(Y/n) pauses, noticing Venti's unusual behavior. After taking half a minute to absorb the silence they feel the presence of a third person behind them, and they slowly turn around.

"Ahaha... Ayato." They smile sarcastically, then frown.

"Ooh so you did know this person! That's good then!" Venti's mood switched up quick, relieved to know he wasn't seeing things and that they weren't being targeted by a hot stranger.

"I'm assuming you heard everything. No, actually I'm going to pretend you heard nothing at all." They take a step back but not far enough.

"I came here after I heard a thing from Kokomi. Although I was already positive she was telling the truth, I'm glad I got to confirm it just now." He grabs their left hand, not allowing them to move further away. "Become my lover, (y/n)."

They feel their heartbeat as loud as his voice. Thoughts spinning, confusion, heavy breathing, it almost seemed like all they could see for that moment was Ayato.

"Just say yes." He pulls them closer and whispers into their ear.

(Y/n) felt hypnotized by his closeness, and everything going on in their mind at once. Slowly opening their mouth to speak, they answer softly.

"Yes."

"Oh em gee." Venti watches, a hand covering his mouth.
