Friends Stick Together || AmaNene FanFiction [DISCONTINUED]

Protect Her

"Amane~ Can't we just check on her?" Tsukasa asked me as he was about to go upstairs, but luckily I caught him before he could go any further.

"I said Nene-san's changing!" I scold him, when Nene-san suddenly came down.

Speak of the devil.

But there was something off about her.

Her eyes were filled with a faint color of red.

Was she just crying?

Not only were her eyes red, she wore an obvious fake smile.

But Tsukasa was too dumb to notice and grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the door.

"Amane-kun, aren't we going to go now?" Nene-san asked me with a faint smile.

"A-Ah. I'm sorry, let's go, Nene-san." This time, I'm the one holding her hand.

Tsukasa smirks, unaware of why I did that.

Homeroom started, and Nene-san was acting weird.

She was actually paying attention this time.

If she wasn't, she didn't look out the window, but buried her face onto her desk instead.

"Okay, class, I need to go to the bathroom for a sec, okay?" The teacher announced.

"Behave while I'm gone." Nagisa-sensei added, then left the room.

I took my chance to ask Nene-san if she was okay.

"Hey, Nene-san. Are you... Okay...?" She flinched when I asked her.

But she nodded her head.

"Mhm!" She smiled at me, but she looked tired and sad.

"Yugi Amane."

"Ah! S-Sorry, sensei..."

"Minus five on your English project."

Thank goodness just a five...

Everywhere we went, Nene-san was quiet.

She didn't even hit me when I teased her.

She didn't react when I gently elbowed her.

She just smiled at everything I did.

Then we part ways sometimes to attend class.

'Is she ignoring me...?' The thought lingered in my head.

"Did I do something wrong again...?" I mumbled to myself as I walked down the hallways.

I walked over to the lockers, when I saw the same girls from yesterday talking to Nene-san.

'I should interfere.' Was repeating in my head.

"Hey! Leave her alone!" I yelled at the three who flinched.

"Great. The Yugi bodyguard." One of the girl's insulted.

Suprisingly, they left immediately.

"Nene-san, did they hurt you?" I asked her. As usual, she turned away.

"W-Why do you even go out of your way to help me..." she mumbled.

I pat her head.

"Friends stick together, Nene-san." I smiled when she grew flustered.
