I walked back home from the convenience store with a bag in my hand...noticing people walking around with yukata's.
Y/n: Oh right...today's the Summer Festival...
I watched 2 girls in yukata's walk by, making me think...
Y/n: Nagatoro...
...
Later, I was playing my game, waiting for a text from Nagatoro...hoping that maybe she'd wanna go with me...but...
Y/n: I don't think she's gonna ask me...maybe I should invite her...myself...
Wait...she'd probably just call me gross or something like that...
Y/n: *Sigh*

——————
I ended up coming...
Y/n: just a look...just a little look...then I'll leave...
I walked along, not seeing Nagatoro anywhere...
Y/n: I should just grab a drink and go home..
All of a sudden, I felt a hand touch me from behind...I turned around and...Yoshi's hand?...
Y/n: WHA!?-
Gamo and Yoshi: FOUND YA, SENPAI!~
I looked at them with anxiety, turned around, and sprinted off.
Gamo: GET HIM!!
Yoshi: AYE AYE!!
Yoshi and Gamo began to chase me until they had me surrounded...
Y/n: *Pant* *Pant*
Gamo: So, ya came to the festival.
Y/n: You 2...what a suprise...
Yoshi: Surprising Wharf Roach!
Gamo grinned at me.
Gamo: Could it be?...You thought you'd see Hayase? And held on to a glimmer of hope that she'd be here?
Y/n: T-That's not it!!
Gamo closed her eyes and smiled: Well, too bad~ she couldn't come. She had club practice or something.
So she's just been busy...no wonder she didn't force me to go...but why'd it bother me so much when she didn't ask?...
*Latch*
When I wasn't paying attention, I noticed something latch on around my neck...a collar!?
Yoshi: GOTCHA, SENPAI!!
Gamo: You should play with us, Senpai!
Oh no...
Nagatoro POV
——————
Club President: Sorry for making us stay so late..
Nagatoro: Don't worry! I was getting sloppy lately, so I needed it!
We both dried off from swimming while talking.
Club President: Oh yeah! Tonight is the festival! Are you going after this?
Nagatoro: Hmm...
I thought for a minute...then...thought about Y/n...maybe I could make him go with me...I smiled at the thought..
Nagatoro: What should I do?~
Suddenly, my phone started buzzing...but when I picked it up...
No...they...fucking...didn't...
Y/n POV
——————
Y/n: Y-You sent that photo to N-Nagatoro!?
Gamo: Yep! Wonder if she's gonna come? "Oh no, my pet's been taken away!"
Yoshi: Pet!
Y/n: Dude...really? She has club anyway...
I said that a bit disappointed...
Y/n: Just let me go...she ain't gonn-
Before I could finish...a PISSED Nagatoro came flying at us...
Gamo: Oh, sorry about that, weren't you still in club?
Nagatoro: *Pant* No! We finished early! So I'm free now!
Gamo: Oh really?~
Nagatoro looked at the collar around my neck, like she was ready to kill someone...
Nagatoro: That's a nice collar, huh?
Gamo smirked.
Gamo: I know, right!
Y/n: Yeah, so can you take it off now?
I said while being choked.
Nagatoro was still looking as if she was trying not to murder her 2 friends.
Nagatoro: Looks like fun..gimme.
Gamo pulled the collar away from Nagatoro before she could snatch it.
Gamo: We're the ones in charge of Senpai! If you want him back...you have to fight us for him!
The tension hit the roof as Nagatoro and Gamo had a standoff...
Nagatoro: Bring it on!
After that, we headed to the firing range.
Gamo: Whoever gets the best prizes wins!
Nagatoro: Fine by me! Don't hold me back, Senpai!
Y/n: Huh? I'm playing too?
After that, our game started...after a few minutes, I missed a shot...
Nagatoro: Ah! Too bad!
It went quiet between us for a minute...Nagatoro looked over at me...
Nagatoro: Hey, Senpai? Were you...
She got a smirk on her face...
Nagatoro: Waiting for an invitation from me?
I got embarrassed and red.
Y/n: N-NO WAY!!
Nagatoro hit her shot.
Nagatoro: Gotcha!
It went quiet for a minute again...
Nagatoro: Ya know...if you want to go somewhere with someone...why not just invite them yourself? Maybe...they'll say yes?...
Nagatoro was a bit red for some reason..but I didn't pay much attention...after that, a lot more games were played...and team Gamo/Yoshi had more plushies...
Nagatoro: Wait? Isn't this the giant plushie you wanted for a long time, Yoshi? It would SURLEY make up for the prizes~
Yoshi was watering at her mouth..
Yoshi: I-I mean...yeah!
Gamo: Yoshi...what are you...
Yoshi jumped toward the plushie..
Yoshi: OKAY, YOU WIN!! I LOVE YOU HAYASE!!
Gamo chuckled a little bit..
Gamo: Ok...guess I gotta let ya go..
She unlocked the collar and let me loose..
Nagatoro: Yay! Senpai!
After that, we said our goodbyes.
Gamo: Later, Senpai! Try not to get caught again!
Nagatoro: What is he!? An animal!?
Nagatoro was set off a little by Gamo's comment..
Y/n: ...
Nagatoro: ...
After that, me and Nagatoro silently looked at eachother, then looked away..
Y/n: W-Would you wanna look around for a bit?..
Nagatoro smiled a bit while still red.
Nagatoro: Y-Yeah...sure...
After that, we walked off and looked around for a while and looked around...we ate food, played games, and talked a bit! Nagatoro, of course, had to pull a sneaky move..she smirked at me...
Nagatoro: This is kinda like a date, Senpai♡︎~
I went red and embarrassed.
Y/n: I-It's not! That's something you say after the other steps...
Nagatoro started hitting me repeatedly..
Nagatoro: Ahahaha! Just kidding! I would never go on a date with gross, Senpai!~
After a few more minutes, she teased me again...
Nagatoro: Wanna at least hold hands while we're here?
Nagatoro held her hand out to me...before I could react though...
*BOOM*
We both turned around to see that the fireworks had started..
Nagatoro: They're launching the fireworks already!?
Nagatoro started shoving me.
Nagatoro: Let's go! Let's go!
Y/n: D-Don't push!
Timeskip
——————
We arrived...but the line was wayyyy long...
Nagatoro: Great...it's a super crowded line...
I could tell Nagatoro was a bit dissapointed...suddenly, a familiar staircase caught my eye...
Y/n: This way!
Without realizing it, I grabbed Nagatoro's hand...she was completely red and I was too when I realized it...but I didn't stop running..
...
Nagatoro and I walked through the woods together...
Nagatoro: Why'd you bring me here, Senpai?~ Are you trying to do things to me?~
Y/n: S-Shut up and look..
Nagatoro fixed her attention to the fireworks over the water...she watched in amazement...
Y/n: I used to come here a lot..it's a better view..
Nagatoro: That's..actually beautiful...
Nagatoro got her mischievous grin again..
Nagatoro: But about the naughty stuff~ bringing a girl into the woods alone?~ pervert, Senpai!~
She started teasing me again...my turn...
Y/n: What do you mean by "naughty"?
Nagatoro: Huh..?
Y/n: Give me an example.
Nagatoro looked a bit nervous..
Nagatoro: Y-Ya know...kissing and stuff...is that what you were planning?~
Y/n: N-NO!!
Nagatoro: Too bad! You could never kiss me like that!
Y/n: You couldn't either..
Nagatoro..got really close..as if she was serious..
Nagatoro: Watch me♡︎~
Nagatoro grabbed my face...and started to pull me in...making me more anxious then I've ever been...until...
*BOOM*
Hearts and couple's messages were mixed in with the fireworks...then me and Nagatoro seen ALOT of couples start to get close and hug and kiss...we scrambled out of there...before long, we came across some trees and sat down...still not over what almost happened earlier...
Nagatoro: Look...there's one...
She pointed to a firework...
Y/n: Yeah...so cool...
