Cote: Yokuso one-shot and reaction.

React cap 3 Unrestrained Feelings

"Kamuro... honestly, this school manages to surprise me more every day. Imagining Ayanokouji-kun in that situation... and my imagination isn't cooperating. Definitely not cooperating right now..." she commented softly.

Kamuro's face was slightly flushed too, though she forced a more serious expression. She quickly averted her gaze.

"I don't want to think about it. That apathetic guy and... me? Are you crazy..." she shot back, though her red cheeks betrayed her words.

At that moment, Ryuen straightened up, crossing his arms with that malicious wolf-like grin on his lips.

"Hahahaha... so that's it, Ayanokouji. Scandalous, with a gentlemen's agreement and everything. But what I want to know is... who was the bastard that heard everything? I'm setting up the bets right now!" he announced enthusiastically.

Ichika raised her hand like a TV host.

"Good evening, wonderful audience! The bets are officially open! Who do you think witnessed the pure moment of... how should I say... adult entertainment from our dear Ayanokouji and Horikita? Place your bets now, don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" she said theatrically, drawing laughs from Ryuen and several others.

"Ayanokouji, you're not betting this time. Bastard, you probably already know who it was, don't you?" Ryuen said, pointing straight at him.

Kiyotaka glanced sideways at Ryuen, his calm expression unchanged.

"No idea. But it's fun watching you all get it wrong," he replied simply.

Suzune murmured softly into the pillow:

"You shouldn't have said anything, Kiyotaka—or rather, that version of you shouldn't have said anything. Now I can't get that information out of my head..."

He let out a quiet sigh, gently continuing to stroke her hair.

"Do you want me to join in on their fun or keep helping you calm down?" he asked casually.

She hesitated for a moment, but without lifting her face from the pillow, she whispered:

"Calm me down... I like your hand on my head..."

He nodded, continuing the gentle motion through her dark hair.

Kei, watching the scene, let out a frustrated sigh.

"Ugh... just look at this. It's like watching a couple scene from some anime... or one of those fanfics..." she grumbled, rolling her eyes. "And the worst part is that if I keep complaining, they'll all say I'm jealous, as always. Ridiculous."

Sato, still stroking her friend's hair, let out a soft giggle.

"You're over it, Kei. You don't have to prove anything to anyone."

"I know, but it's still annoying!" she said with a pout, slightly puffing her cheeks.

"I'm betting 1000 points that the person who heard everything was that weird guy from upstairs. He's always been sketchy..." one of the random students suggested, placing the first bet.

Another student quickly countered:

"No way. It was the nosy lady from downstairs! 2000 points on her!"

Bets started flying in from all over the room, a festival of wild guesses and playful teasing.

Meanwhile, Chabashira shook her head slowly, murmuring to herself:

"I definitely don't get paid enough to deal with this kind of thing..."

Chie smiled even more.

"But admit it, Sae-chan... it's fun seeing them act like normal teenagers once in a while, isn't it?"
