Star-crossed Lovers - Ushijima Wakatoshi Love Story

19B

After the whole incident, Yumiko had been glaring at Wakatoshi the whole first shift. He didn't mind it, though he was curious as to why she was glaring at her. So during their first break, he was going to ask her.

"Wanatabe."

Yumiko looked up from her seat in the break area and saw Wakatoshi approaching her. Yumiko continued her glare as everyone else moved out of the break area since it looked like it was going to be a serious talk.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" His voice boomed through her ears.
"I'm going to tell you like this, you're a fucking idiot!" Yumiko stomped her foot. "You didn't even see how upset Yukina was with you!"
Surprised, Wakatoshi raised both of his eyebrows. "She was upset? About what?"
"Your stupid hair!" Yumiko pointed angrily at his slicked back bangs.
"But she said Ama made the right call."
"You let another girl do your hair!"
"But if I let my mom do it, Yukina would still be upset?"
Yumiko grumbled as she slapped her forehead with her hand. "She would not be upset about that, cus that is your mom. But to let another girl, a girl you call by her first name!!!!, to do your hair, anyone would be upset! Would you want another guy choosing Yukina's clothes?"
"But those are two different things."
"Forget it." Yumiko grumbled as she stomped  her way out.

Wakatoshi took her seat and began thinking. Did he really not pay enough attention to her to miss that detail? He observed her for three years so he should know how she is feeling. He did notice that her arousal in her eyes immediately disappeared when he mentioned Ama was the one who did his hair. If Yukina really didn't like this hairstyle, then he'll get rid of it. He nodded to himself, determined to find her during lunch time and get some confirmation.

Finally, lunch time. Wakatoshi was going to ask Yumiko where they were planning on eating. But she quickly ran out of the class so he didn't even have a chance to talk to her. He sighed as he started to wander off thinking of the places they could've been.

He found himself in the middle of the food stalls at the front of the school. Dozens of people were sitting down eating lunch at this time. Then he found a table with three girls. One as a butler, a witch, and a cow.

"There you are."

The girls turned around to see who was the guy with the low rumbling voice. They were surprised to see Wakatoshi, with his drained face. Some of the hair gel was wearing off as strands of his dark olive hair were slanted down, framing his face.

"What do you want?" Yukina grumbled as she face her back towards him. Wakatoshi could feel his heart dropping in his chest. He wondered why is that? Is it because Yukina is intentionally ignoring him?
"Can we talk?"
"I'm eating right now."
"I can wait."

Wakatoshi was about to pull up a chair from another table when Emma got up.

"No, Ushijima, we're about to leave."
"We are?" Yumiko raised her eyebrows as she stuffed her face.
"Yes. We. Are." Emma sent her a look and Yumiko finally understood what was going to happen. The two left leaving annoyed Yukina all alone with stoic looking Wakatoshi.

Yukina left her hand on the table as she was sipping on her tea when Wakatoshi reaches for it. Instinctively, she pulled away. She regretted doing that but not as much as looking at the hurt in his eyes.

"Can't we talk about why you're upset?"
Yukina raised both of her eyebrows in surprise, "Oh? Tell me, what makes you think I'm upset?"
"Well, for one, you didn't let me hold your hand."
"Not in the mood to."
"When are you not in the mood to?"
"Right now."
Wakatoshi let out a deep sigh as he ran his fingers through his hair. Yukina twitched her eyebrow thinking that he admired the other girl's work but it was nothing of the sort. He started messing around his hair. And when it wouldn't go down completely, he took his own water bottle and pour down on his hair.
"W-what are you doing?!" Yukina reached over as she patted his hair with some napkins. Yukina wiped up some of the water droplets on his forehead and shoulders as they managed for trickle down.
"Your mood changed when you saw my hair like that."
"Wakatoshi, it's not that I don't like your hair slicked back." Yukina spoke cautiously.
"Then what is it? I wouldn't know unless you tell me, Yukina."

Yukina looked back at Wakatoshi's piercing gaze. Just looking into the dark olive sea is pulling her closer and closer into the depths of his wandering soul. His eyes shows a mixed of emotions; confusion, guilt, and pleading. Yukina let out a long sigh as she sat herself down again next to Wakatoshi with his now damped hair. Yukina brushes it up with her fingers so it wouldn't drop water onto his face.

"Why didn't you tell me that she wanted to see you before anyone else got to?"
"Because I thought it was irrelevant."
"Wakatoshi, in what world would that be irrelevant?"
"Because she fixed my hair to be more presentable. You even said that she made the right call."

Yukina let out another sigh as she pressed her lips together into a firm line.

"I don't think this is going anywhere. I just need to be alone, okay? You didn't even mention anything when I said my outfit got shredded."
"I was going to but you interrupted me with Ama being in a maid outfit as well."
Yukina hummed as she got up from her seat, "I'm going to go now. Lunch is over."
"Wait."
Yukina turned back slightly with a raised eyebrow to see what he wanted.
"To answer your question about being disappointed with your outfit," Wakatoshi shifted his gaze from the ground to Yukina, "I'm not. Cows are actually my favorite animal."
To his surprise, Yukina laughed softly. "Cows? Really?" She continued laughing like it was the funniest thing ever. "If only I had my maid outfit and we could take a picture." Her lips formed an uneasy smile as she looked out of the corner of her eyes.
"We can still."
"Me? As a cow?"
"Does it matter? As long as we're both happy."
"Awww." Yukina went ahead and pinch the boy's cheeks. As she was pulling his cheeks, he was furrowing his eyebrows in annoyance. She proceeded to sit on his lap and poked him on the chest.
"You take the picture since you have some long limbs."

Wakatoshi nodded and took out his phone. Using the selfie function of the camera, Yukina grinned wide as she used a finger to pull at one corners of Wakatoshi's mouth up to make a somewhat half smile. If she didn't, he would've stayed with that stoic expression.

"Send me that!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah! Cause you look ridiculous!" Yukina laughed out loud as she sent the picture to herself.

Still in his lap, Wakatoshi wrapped his arms around her waist and nuzzled his lips onto her neck, causing a color to creep up to her face and her nether region was starting to crave.

"W-Wakatoshi!"
"It's been so long..." he whispered into her ear, causing some excitement inside of her. But she knows better.
"Not here!"
"Then when?" Not being able to hold on his lustful eyes.
"Some other time!"
