Cote: Yokuso one-shot and reaction.

React cap 3 Unrestrained Feelings

He lightly closed his eyes for a second. When he opened them again, his gaze met Horikita's.

She was glancing at him discreetly, almost like she was trying to decipher him.

"Are you okay?" she asked softly, just loud enough for him to hear. "Your expression got... weird for a second."

Kiyotaka tilted his head slightly, curious.

"Weird?" he murmured, lightly touching his own face. "Didn't notice anything."

Suzune caught a detail that few would've seen: the subtle tension in his jaw muscles a few seconds ago. A clear sign of someone suppressing emotions.

She sighed quietly, leaning her body slightly toward him.

"You're changing... in a way you don't even realize," she whispered, hiding a small smile at the corner of her lips.

Before any more intimate conversation between the two could progress, a random comment echoed from the back of the room:

"Man, that was too good..." a random student said, almost crying with laughter. "The badass acting slow for a few seconds. This is going down in history."

"But I'll say it..." another student chimed in. "Horikita on that screen is so hot... I mean... she's very different from usual."

Before he could finish, a voice from the back interrupted:

"Shit! Why'd they censor it right now?!"

The silence that followed was strange. Everyone slowly turned around, seeing the student standing there, irritated by the censorship.

And then, in an instant, something cut through the air.

CRACK!

A glass bottle flew at lightning speed, hitting the guy square on the head. He dropped instantly, unconscious.

Everyone in the room stood up in shock, looking around.

Ryuen's grin grew wider.

"Oho... now this is getting interesting."

Kei's eyes widened, then narrowed sharply.

"Shit... who did that?!"

Ryuen, sensing the strange tension, just laughed.

"Well... someone just earned my respect. Whoever threw that bottle did exactly what I wanted to do but couldn't because of the mess it would've caused." He crossed his arms, satisfied. "Someone silencing that idiot... polite."

Ichika laughed too.

"Guys, it was perfect. Out of nowhere—bam! Bottle to the head. Movie scene!"

Mako-chan was still stunned.

"But... from where...?"

Chiaki was silent but staring directly at Ayanokouji. She was suspicious. Very suspicious.

Kei looked at the scene with the bottle, then at Horikita's state, and sighed in irritation.

"Idiot deserved it. Why shout for explicit content here? Clown." she said, crossing her arms, though with a faint smirk. It was nice to see someone punished for stupidity.

In the corner of the room, Sato was red but laughing quietly.

"He asked for it and got it. Literally."

Kushida, chin resting on her hand, watched everything with that mysterious smile, her eyes coldly analyzing the whole situation. Always paying attention, even when she looked relaxed.
