Attention|| Baji x Chifuyu

Chapter 8

"Oh okay"

he replies shortly, it makes me think if he's still angry at me

"Chifuyu?"

"What?"

"Why can't I just tell him that I'm sorry and I like him then boom, finish! This is stupidity stupid!"

"Nothing, you just looks stupid"

he looked at me in disbelief and he punched my arms sarcastically, "How dare you call me that Baji!?"

"How dare you too stupid"

we arrived in the room he told me. after we finished arranging the things in the table he almost left but thankfully i catched his hands

his eyes travelled to my hands then on me with shock. in my stupidness, i didn't let go that easy instead i looked back at him

"Meet me… at the back of the school later, Chifuyu" i kept rubbing his hands with my thumb as i talked, he just nodded

i let go of his hands and stayed in the room for a while, feeling the softness of his hands for the last time

after school…

"Oi Baji, where ya going?"

"I'll be quick-"

"Haa? I don't have anyone with me here! Chifuyu also left"

baji kept his cool, he doesn't want to ruin his mood of talking to chifuyu

"Chifuyu is with me, I'm telling him now"

"Oh really?" kazutora automatically smiled, "Whatever go, goodluck"

baji left their dorm feeling the nervousness he felt ever since he talked to chifuyu earlier. even if he wanted to stay cool his feelings could never let that happen

chifuyu was there, leaning his back in the wall while waiting for baji

"Uhm.. I'm here" baji said and waved his hands

chifuyu did the same, "What do you want to talk about Baji?"

... baji kept silent for a while. he thought to himself if can he even do it alone without kazutora explaining that everything he'll tell to chifuyu is true

he is afraid of the consequences he'll face after but he knew it was his fault. "Even if I won't get lucky with this one… I hope he'll just reach out to my feelings.. even without returning it back to me"

"Baji.. If you just kept standing there, thinking so deep of I don't know what, I'll just leave. You're just.. wasting my time standing here also"

"W-W-Wait! Can I ask you a question..?.. f-first?"

chifuyu sighed, "What is it?"

"Do you.. hate me…? Like uhm.. you're angry at me?"

chifuyu gave a surprised look, he can't tell if he'll say the truth infront of him

"Why are you asking me that.. I don't hate-"

"A-After all the things I've done for you? All those words I said? You don't hate me?" baji nervously said without looking at chifuyu even once

"Why do you want me to hate you? Yes Baji, I hate you.. Are you happy now? We're mutual, I hate you and you hate me" baji doesn't know what he'll reply anymore. can he even reply with those words chifuyu said to him? "Come on, talk! Are you damn happy now that you knew the truth?"

baji looked at chifuyu, his eyes started tearing then he looked up, "I'm.. not"

chifuyu looked at baji with disbelief and anger in his eyes, mixing up with his sadness and guilt he felt saying such words

"Why are you like this…? You hate me don't you? Tell me you hate me Baji! You should like what I-I said just now"

"You don't understand.. why"

chifuyu tried slapping baji so he'll wake up saying words he wasn't suppose to

"I don't understand? Then what does that mean? Make me understand then.."

"I just want to annoy you because.. I.. I like you" baji calmed himself and looked at chifuyu, "But I went too far.. that I don't like it anymore"

the seriousness chifuyu felt faded. he became soft to the point he blushed hard and got shy being around baji

chifuyu slapped baji so he can't see what's his state for a while, "Baji y-you stupid! D-don't you dare look at me!"

"W-Why-"

"If you look at me I'll never forgive you!"
