"Are you two really just friends? You two have been sneaking glances at each other..."

"So I've been thinking about something." Yamabuki raised his head up and stared into the air while holding his phone. [Name] stopped sipping on her box of milk, pulling away from the straw to speak.

"Oh wow, I didn't know you could think Yamabuki—" [Name] snickered, then wheezed afterwards earning a smack from the lemon haired boy like he was offended. Akane was between them doing his paperwork in silence and was probably thinking about Aoi while doing so.

When Yamabuki puts his phone back in his pockets it means serious business, so [Name] was surprised and huddled closer to hear what her friend was thinking. "If your leg get cut off, would it hurt?"

[Name] raised her eyebrow in confusion. 'Is he for real?' She asked herself. "Duh." [Name] answers since it was obvious that it would hurt if your leg was cut off or any part of your body in particular. "What are you a dumbass for not feeling that?"

"How though?"

"Cuz your leg got cut off you idiot."

"Where you go for the pain?" Yamabuki places a hand on Akane's desk which annoyed the red haired boy causing him to scoot away from him along with his papers.

"In your le—" [Name] suddenly stopped in realization.

Yamabuki puts his hands on the side of his face for having an existential crisis and looked at [Name] in confusion. "Exactly girl, how you go for the pain—"

"IF YOUR LEG IS GONE!" [Name] and Yamabuki answered in unison. They both ended up laughing and giving each other a high-five while Akane stood there with his left eye twitching because of seeing these idiots hanging out together. [Name] has been friends with Yamabuki since they were in Middle School. For whatever reason, [Name] transferred to another class when she came back to school during the second semester because of her sister's death.

Eventually, the two immediately reconciled their friendship when they became classmates recently. [Name] missed Yamabuki's shenanigans and she's glad that they reunited once again. Although, some of their classmates thought that they're dating at first, even an idiot classmate of theirs might have created a dating rumor about the two.

But Yamabuki and [Name] clarified that they are just friends to end the rumors, and it did, the next day after that no one seems to talk about it anymore. "I'm going to think about that for the whole day, thanks." [Name] rubs her temples.

"Same, I don't think I'm going to recover." Yamabuki chuckles nervously.

"I think about Ao-chan everyday." Akane blurts in to the conversation.

"Who?" [Name] asks with a taunting tone.

"Ao-chan—what do you mean?"

" —Who asked?" [Name], once again, laughs while slapping her knee, then wheezing afterwards. Yamabuki points at Akane's pissed off face, laughing with tears seeping out of his eyes. Akane only sat there with a deadpanned expression as he thought of possible ways to beat the shit out of these two crackheads.

Yamabuki left the scene to get something to drink from the school's vending machine. Akane went back to continue doing his homework so that he doesn't have to do it when he gets home. [Name] leans against his desk and pointed at the missing sign on his homework sheet. "You forgot to put the negative sign."

"But I transposed it." Akane looks at her confusingly.

"Yeah, but you have to divide both sides so that the other side is cancelled." The red haired boy realizes his mistake and immediately changed it. [Name] chuckles playfully seeing that Akane lowered his pride for the first time, he would only be gullible towards Aoi if so. He quickly thanked her. "You're welcome, Tomato head."

"The ship has sailed captain."

"Our real life rivals-to-lovers ship didn't argue for the first time."

[Name] turned to look at her classmates who were now ogling at the two, flashing them with a glare. Akane poked her head as she stumbled backwards, which she grabbed his hair in retaliation asking him, "What the hell was that for?" She turned to look at their classmates who were fawning over the two. "Spoiler alert, we are not ending up with each other."

➽───────────────❥

[Name] puts her hands behind the back of her head as she walks towards the Astronomy Club's clubroom to give herself a little read to pass the time till bathroom cleaning arrives. That is until the club leader, Sukuro Emi, entered the room while holding a bunch of papers with one hand. "[Surname]-chan~" Emi chirped.

"Ah, Emi-senpai." [Name] closed her book. "Do you need something?"

"Great work for listing down our club activities, I'm sure the Student Council will stop pestering me about our progress in the Astronomy Club." Emi gave her the rest of her work to [Name]. For some reason, she hates how the council gets pushy towards her but it's understandable because they wanted to make sure that every club is functioning. "I already binded them into a notebook to pass them."

"Which reminds me, since you're not doing anything, you should pass the activity log to the Student Council." Emi sits down on one of the chairs in the clubroom to take a rest. She spent the whole day to continue writing their daily activities and now her mind and hands are tired. [Name] opens her mouth to say no, then again, seeing Emi tired made her think otherwise.

So [Name] took the activity log with her to go to the Student Council Room, at least that would speed up time till cleaning time arrives. [Name] notices Akane in a mile away, running up to him while calling his nickname. "Oi Tomato, do me a favor." She demands. "Can you bring this to the Student Council if you're going there."

Akane raised his hand. "No."

"Bitch, what do you mean no?" [Name] cocked her head at the sudden rejection. "Aren't you going there?"

"I'm not. Besides, I finished my work already, you're on your own. The President is still there, you can pass it to him." Akane passed by her after he answered her question. [Name] inhaled sharply to calm herself down from wrecking havoc because of how rude he is. He's unbelievable. Just wait till [Name] jokingly steals Aoi away from Akane, that would be a perfect revenge.

'Fucking Tomato head.'

[Name] raised her middle finger and stuck her tongue out at Akane's disappearing figure when he gets far before turning her back to the direction of the Student Council Room. When she arrived in front of the room, she raised her hand and knocked on the door. Teru was at the other side of the room, doing council work. He lifted his head. "Come in."

Teru almost dropped his pencil when [Name] entered the room. It was as if there was an angel who passed by because of how serene the atmosphere is. "I keep forgetting that Minamoto-senpai is our Student Council President..." [Name] chuckled apologetically as she places a hand on her chest. Yashiro would always tell her how hot Teru is during the school assembly, she's one of those girls who fawn over the guy. A literal definition of a prince. "You're Minamoto-kun's older brother, I often see you two together."

"I believe this is the first time we met officially." Teru smiled. [Name] giggled while shrugging her shoulders, telling him that Kou is a great person to talk to like they are friends. He was actually glad that someone else was looking after his little brother. "Kou told me a lot about you."

"A-Ah, is that so?" [Name] places the activity log book on the table where Teru was working, which he doesn't seem to mind. Although Teru silently thanked to whoever is up there now that he finally got to interact with [Name] to see if she matches the way Kou talks about her. A kind and sweet senior that is reliable and responsible.

[Name] may have snorted. 'Since when the hell am I responsible?'

When Teru asked Akane about [Name], the red haired boy was bewildered by the fact it was unexpected for him to ask about another student. Other than that, Akane was relieved that Teru doesn't like Aoi—despite not really bringing up the girl's name into the conversation since he was asking him about [Name].

Anyways, Akane told him that [Name] was a sadist, would always laugh maniacally like a villainess whenever she gets higher scores than him. She would constantly tease him into stealing Aoi and they would chase each other around the school. Teru was amused at their little competition, specifically when it comes to Math. "If I may ask, from what club are you...?"

"I'm from the Astronomy Club~" [Name] clapped her hands together. "Emi-senpai sent me here to pass the log since I heard that you guys were pestering her to pass our activities so that you guys know what we're doing."

"Oh, you're from Sukuro-san's club." Teru puts his chin on top of his palm, his smile still remained on his face throughout their conversation. Teru and Emi don't interact much in class so there's nothing much he knows about her.

"Minamoto-senpai—I gotta go now!" [Name] scrambled through her feet, flung the door open as she stepped out. "It was nice talking to you!" She announced as her voice faded away the further she went. [Name] slides into the bathroom and smiles once she saw Hanako sitting by the windowsill. He was playing hanafuda with the mokkes.

[Name] takes the bucket and the mop as she started mopping up the wooden floor in silence. Hanako turned to look at his assistant, he didn't sense her coming in because he was too immersed into the card game. "Man, toilet cleaning is so boring—do I really have to do this for how long?" [Name] asked as she dipped the mop in the bucket of water.

"Well~ you're my assistant so you have to do what I ask you to." Hanako tells her, placing down another card, then the mokkes announced their victory which the apparition boy had a depressing aura because he lost. "Ugh, I keep losing."

"Boom deserve—"

"I will extend your cleaning time—"

"—Just kidding~" [Name] smiled and sighed aftewards, her motivation starting to fade away the longer she scrubbed the toilets. Why can't schools implement some janitors and that they have to use students to be their personal cleaners, then again its beneficial because you can actually use it as an advantage if someone asks you what you're good at. Cleaning toilets. "I fucking hate this."

"Always saying such things, it's hard for me too y'know~" Hanako fawned while hugging himself. [Name] could've thought that Hanako is a sadist for making her suffer by cleaning his stinky ass bathroom as he enjoyed her look of frustration. She agressively poked Hanako's cheek using the mop's handle. "Y-You don't have to be so rough—it's hard for me too."

"Oh my god why the fuck do you still look so happy? Are you a fucking masochist?" [Name] scooted away in disgust once she saw that Hanako enjoyed being poked by a mop. Well, she has to endure it since she literally had to make a chaotic wish and this is the consequence of her actions.

Hanako stopped the mop using his hand, then he stands up and moves closer to [Name] causing the assistant to shield herself using the mop. "Maybe invite someone you like to clean with you, that should probably incite some motivation to make bathroom cleaning happy." Hanako suggests with a closed eye smile.

"Hanako-kun, you know I can't—they're not real." [Name] deadpanned. She doesn't want to have a crush on anyone at the moment so she's sticking with fictional characters until she finds someone else along the way. And fictional characters are much better than any human anyways. "How do I make [favorite character] to clean with me if they're not real?!"

"You know [Name], you're always finding things that are not even here or real." Hanako stepped closer, dangerously closer with a soft smirk on his face. He takes the mop to reel [Name] closer to cup her right cheek. [Name] blushed as her shoulders stiffened at the sudden closeness. "Why don't you fall in love with me instead? That way, cleaning the bathroom wouldn't be as boring when I'm around~"

"You know I'd be more motivated if you help me clean up the bathroom." [Name]'s lips curled up into a smile when an idea entered her mind, to convince Hanako to clean the bathroom because he literally owns this place—why can't he clean it himself? It's like when you're the one who makes a mess in your room and your mom is cleaning it with matching lectures as to why you're a lazy ass—yeah that hit home, sorry. "Friends do stuff together and since we're friends..."

[Name] boops his nose and grinned. "Clean the bathroom with me, Hanako-kun~"

Hanako flinched, backing away with his cheeks turning red. 'Checkmate.' [Name] taught him a lesson as to never underestimate the wise and powerful—she laughed at his reaction while raising her hands, dropping the mop to the ground. "You're easy to tease, Hanako-kun." [Name] points out between giggles.

"Oh? And to think that you're not the same?"

[Name] stops. "Eh?" Hanako grabs both of her wrists as he leaned in to her side of her ear. "H-Hanako-kun, wait—I'm sensitive there..." She whimpered. [Name] could feel him inching closer, his lips slightly brushing against her ear to whisper something.

"Your hair smells good." Hanako whispered huskily, pulling away with an innocent smile on his face. [Name] must've exploded internally and her face felt like it was on fire because of the heat, coming from someone who's cold and a ghost. He chuckled at her reddened face. "Fine, I'll clean the bathroom with you, you big dummy~" Hanako takes the mop and started mopping up the floor with a goofy grin on his face.

"Hanako-kun, you tease...!" [Name] pouted. She took a piece of cloth that was hanging on the windowsill and wiped up the mirrors. The ghost boy was passionate about mopping up the floors, just to make [Name] motivated in cleaning the bathroom. Maybe this isn't so bad after all.
