- Chapter 15 -

Atsumu looked mad, no that was an understatement.
He looked like furious.
He seemed to be zoning out, though he still had a stern facial expression.
You hadn't ever noticed Atsumu's temper before.
You only knew that he talked too much, but it looked like sometimes his actions definitely did speak louder than his words.

Eventually everybody got to work, and started doing their research on the park's wildlife.

You walked over to your next station, where you saw Atsumu.

"Hey, what the hell did you do to your brother?"
You sighed as you said this.

Atsumu glared at you.
"Someone has to punch the idiot in the face eventually. He's been such a dumbass lately."

"Ok what did he say to you?"
You asked.

"Nothing subway girl, drop it."
Atsumu snapped.

"No, tell me Atsumu."
You insisted.

"I said fucking drop it, ok?"

You were startled by Atsumu's tone. And, he still had a crazy look in his eyes.

"If you care about him so much, why don't you just go over to his station?!"
Atsumu snapped.

The people at your station went quiet.
There was some obvious tension rising.

"I...fine I'll leave. If that's what you want."
You felt a new type of emotion, one you hadn't felt since you were back home in London.
You felt, like you were being shut out.

You started heading towards the next station, not bothering to ask Osamu what happened.
You knew Osamu wouldn't want to talk about it anyways.

You probably weren't paying attention because you bumped into Suna.
He had a mask on, so you couldn't see his expression.
But his eyes were enough to tell you how he felt.
He looked so sad, it broke your heart.
"Hey, Suna I-"
He pushed past you trying to get away.

"No, wait!"
You called out as you grabbed hold of his arm.
He looked back at you, clearly shocked.
"Can you let go?"
He said coldly.

"No. Just listen to me please."
You said, you could already feel your eyes getting watery.
But you refused to cry right now, not in front of your whole class.
"What is it?"
He asked.
You gently let go of his arm, and motioned him to follow you away from the crowd.
You didn't want Yuma or anyone else interrupting you.
Suna obeyed and followed you to a small opening in the trees.

"Look, I had no idea. And I didn't kiss Osamu back, I hope you know that-"
Suna interrupted you but placing his hand on your shoulder.
"You didn't kiss him back?"
Suna asked.

You shook your head.

Suna sighed.
"(y/n) I was never mad at you. Ok? It was Osamu I was mad at. I guess I couldn't talk to you cause I'm an idiot."
He replied softly.
Your eyes went wide.

"I'm so sorry, for everything. I should have talked to you about it earlier."
You said, you could hear yourself stutter.

"Don't be sorry."
Suna replied, he took off his mask so you could see his lazy smile.
You smiled back, unable to control the happiness you were feeling right now.

Suddenly, you felt Suna pull you in for a hug.
One of his perfect bear hugs, that made you feel like a little kid again.
And you hugged him back, holding onto him tightly.

You didn't even notice the tear that slipped down your cheek as you let go of him.

"I missed you."
Suna whispered into your ear.

You nodded, you missed him too.

You couldn't even tell that Suna was still worried, however this did fixed your friendship.
But he knew that it would still a competition between him and Osamu.

And he knew that no matter what, he wouldn't tell you that Osamu had feelings for you too.

Soon, the classes started hiking back down the hill and towards the buses.
It was almost sunset now, and everyone was exhausted.
Kita stayed near you while you hiked down, just in case you fell again.
Suna seemed to linger around you as well, he even seemed to be ignoring Yuma.

The bus ride was more exciting, on the way back.
Everyone was sharing their experiences on the trip, and even Suna seemed to be communicating more.

Yuma on the other hand, was now silent. Refusing to say a word.
You could spot her glaring at you every couple minutes.

After a while, everyone started quieting down.
Some people even fell asleep.
Suna stared out the window, watching the cars zoom past the bus.
He still felt a bit uncomfortable.
He knew you said you didn't kiss Osamu back.

But Osamu had mentioned that you did, that it even seemed like you were interested in him.
Suna looked back at you from across the aisle.
You were fast asleep.

"Would she lie about that?"
He thought.

But he knew the answer was rather simple.
Of course you wouldn't lie about that.

But it seems like Osamu did.
