Overthinking Confessions (ishimondo)

Chapter 3- Consequences

TW: intrusive/negative thoughts

The three dudes chuckled as they walked to Leon's car, "c'mon losers get in"
Losers, stupid, and all other sorts of terms people would normally see as an insult, Leon used endearingly

"We know Leon" Chihiro giggled as he gently opened the door to the backseat, on the other side, Mondo swung the door open and hopped in
While Leon was driving, Mondo was looking down at his phone constantly and fidgeting with it here and there

"Um Mondo?"
"Yeah Chi?"
"Is something wrong aha? You keep checking your phone.."
"Nah, i- im just concerned for Taka.. he isn't replying to my text, I think I said something wrong"
"Did you confess?" Leon butts in from the front of the car
"No, I wimped out.."
"Pshh then you're probably fine" Leon brushes it off
Chihiro looks a bit worried and gives an attempted smile, "well, he could just be sleeping?"
"Maybe." The car fell silent, they left the conversation there and drove to the café

—

"Welcome" an awfully cheerful guy greeted the three after they walked in

"He looks high" Mondo nudged Leon
Leon shrugged, "he's kinda hot though"
Mondo just looks to the side.. kinda weirded out since the guy wasn't his type but to hell with it
Chihiro pointed put a table in the back, and the three went to sit down

The waiter arrived at their table, "Hi my name is Yasuhiro, what would y'all be interested in today?" The waiter asked
Leon was caught off guard but Mondo intervenes, I'll take a black coffee, that'll be all"
"May I get a glass of water?" Chihiro asks softly
"Of course dude, and you sir?"
Leon gulped "N-not-thhing yet.. thank you" Leon tripped over his words

The waiter walked away and Leon let out a sigh of relief
"Doesn't he go to our school? The weird guy who says he can tell the future.. or has a 30% chance of accuracy while doing so?"
"Yup! He goes to Hope's Peak, and is in our class, he's Yasuhiro Hagakure, the Ultimate Clairvoyant!" Chihiro chimed in
Leon was in disbelief "He does?! I hadn't noticed him.."
Mondo rolls his eyes, "You don't pay attention to like anyone Leon"
Leon shrugs, he knew it was partly true but doesn't mean he has to accept it

"Why don't you just ask for his number?" Mondo suggests, looking at the café's wallpaper
"Sorry, did the biker gang LEADER who doesn't have the guts to tell his bestfriend he's in love with him say somethin?" Leon fires back
"Oi don't-"
Leon cuts Mondo off before he could even start, "Hey. Hey, isn't that Makoto from our class because I DO NOTICE SOME PEOPLE." He stared at Mondo before continuing, "Wait- and he's out with that rich prick?! Damn, I knew he wanted go be friends with everyone, but why him?"
Mondo and Chihiro glances over, "Kirigiri is also there" Chihiro adds
"Yeah you're right" Leon stops then covers his mouth with his hand "and they're extremely close, maybe he's poly, pfffft I dont blame him though they're kinda hot-" he turns the right way and sees his two friends giving him a deathly glance.. "so let's ignore them-

"Agreed we shouldnt get in they're business.." Mondo recommends with a serious tone

Yasuhiro brings the drinks and Leon asks for a glass of lemonade
He comes back out to brings it to them and they continue their chattering before leaving

Kiyotaka is opening his eyes again, checking his alarm clock, it now reads 11:28 a.m., "I guess I should do something today.." he yawns, then does morning stretches

He searches through his closet then throws some clothes down on his bed

—

He pats his shirt down in the mirror, making sure it's not wrinkly, then he sits at his desk

"I could use someting to get my mind off of... him. Writing sounds good, yeah let's go with that"

Kiyotaka pressed the pencil down to the paper and starts writing what comes to mind, first an inspirational message, then a to-do list with all the stuff he needs before he leaves the house
He cuts them out and tapes then to his wall, they calms his nerves

He leans on his bed frame and checks his phone, he sees another text from Mondo, "Ayee Mr. Moral Compass, did I do somethin wrong? If so, I apologize I just ..." that's where the text preview cut off
He was debating on whether on not to read the rest of his message or not, he wanted so badly to talk to him but his brain wouldn't allow him to do so, the more he thought about it, the more anxious he got, tossing his phone down on his sheets. Leaning against the headboard of his bed, he curled up into a ball with his legs pressed against his chest.
'What do I even say? He probably doesn't trust me.. have I done something wrong for him to feel that way?' His mind went a bit haywire, was there another reason Mondo didn't tell him about the crush other than crushes being seen as embarrassing?
It didn't help that he tended to overthink the smallest things, he stayed awake a bit longer, still tired but didn't want to move or waste any more time sleeping
