MEET REQUIREMENTS?
1) FIND HARU (Complete ✔)
2) LEARN KEN'S SIDE OF THE STORY! ⬅
The lesson finally ended with Haru and Ken disappearing, it's lunchtime and I decided to look around for Ken but couldn't find him. His classroom? no, his locker? no, his room? no, seriously where did they go? did they get spirited away?
Giving up on the search to find them, I've decided to go to my locker to pull out my elemental textbook to find two letters, one letter is sealed with a heart sticker, another is with a red polka dot ribbon. Opening the red heart letter, I read;
Dear Alex-sama
I am writing to you to tell you my true emotions,
I've had strong feelings for you ever since your siblings' birthday party,
I know you didn't notice me amongst the crowd of girls,
which is why I want to confess these strong emotions before it's too late ><
please meet me up at the rooftop at the end of the day!
From Your Secret Admirer~ ❤
I'm not gonna lie but she's right, it's already too late. I'm not straight anymore so she's way past the expiry date.
After a sigh, I showed the letter into my pocket and opened the polka dots letter next, 'I'm happy with the way things are, for now. I love you, my dear' after reading the creepy letter I looked up at my locker again to see a photo, it was a photo of me in my sleep back at the mansion.
H-how? could it be? Ken? Ken was the first person that came to mind since he's the only one that I let sleep in my room. However, since this is a demon I'm dealing with they can sneak into my room whenever they want so I can't be suspecting just Ken.
"Mr Hellsing!" I snapped out of my thoughts to turn to see the hall monitor, "shouldn't you be in your lesson?" I quickly nod and departed before the hall monitor grabbed a hold of me. Freezing time, I entered the classroom and took a seat at the only empty spot at the back of the room, unfreezing time the teacher continued with the register to make sure everyone is in, the went on and the lesson dragged on ever so slowly. If I hate school in my previous life, how am I going to like school now?
Sleeping throughout my entire lesson while using my illusion to create fake me, I was able to get away with sleeping in the lesson. Lessons are over and all the youths are ready to hit the sack, including me of course but unfortunately, "Alex!" facing me was Ken, "oh Ken is there something the matter?" slightly embarrassed he shuffles his feet for a bit before looking up at me again.
"If it's possible can we talk alone in private for a bit?" he points to a nearby empty classroom, "Uh sure" I hesitated to follow him inside, but the moment we got inside the atmosphere quickly got awkward thinking back to the night he confessed.
"So what was it you wanna talk about Ken?" he shyly looks up with the same blushing face like me, "Alex I know things are awkward between us because of my feelings, but I just want to let you know that even though I like you I don't want it to be awkward between us!" he fidgets with his fingers. I smiled happily to know our relationship as brothers is not broken, "thank you Ken" I pat his shoulder, "b-but Alex this doesn't mean I'm over you! I'll continue to love you more then a brother even if you will never see me that way and until you find someone you truly love is when you're allowed to reject me..." he mumbles the last words bitterly and sadly.
I felt bad knowing he loves me and I cannot respond to his feelings, "okay, I promise I will properly reject you when I find someone I love" I closed the distance between us and pulled his soft body into a gentle embrace, "I promise" I whispered close to his small ears.
"... I'll make sure that won't happen" he whispered ever so quietly, "hm what did you say?" quickly Ken responded "nothing!" pulling away I waved him goodbye and went to the roof to meet this so-called secret admirer.
Crap there really is someone here and here I thought this could be a prank, approaching the timid female she turns to my direction with a flushed face.
"U-uhm Alex-sama thank you very much for meeting me here" she stutters a bit with her gaze unable to stay connected to mine for even a second so she just keeps looking around at anywhere except at me.
"M-my name is Mary Swell, I am a Countess daughter and uh..." seems like she doesn't know what else to say about herself, "I- uh I've always had feelings for you ever since you first introduced yourself!" I think I already know that but don't worry you're doing great, I quietly support her on the inside.
"S-so!" she looks like she's going to cry, come on you can do it! "I-It would be a great honour if we could w-well date?" she pushes a bit of her hair behind her ear while looking down at the floor. She's so cute if I was straight I wouldn't have second thoughts about saying yes, but unfortunately, I'm all about those sausages.
"I'm so sorry" I bowed "I can't go out with you" I hear her sniffle and see tears hit the concrete floor, "I-It's fine," she says that but she cannot stop the tears, "but may I know the reason why you can't date me?" she sniffles with teary eyes.
Straightening up I awkwardly look away unsure if I should just tell her the truth, "w-well it's not like there's nothing wrong with you! I mean you're cute and I'm sure you have a wonderful personality! but it's just that well.." she's a brave girl to confess her feelings, so I might as well be brave about it and say it even if I still feel awkward saying it myself.
"I-I'm gay" I rub my neck out of awkwardness, "I-Is that true?" she looks at me dead in the eyes, "y-yeah it is" after confirming my sexuality the girl started to giggle, "thank you so much Alex-sama!" after giving me a firm handshake she skips away with a happy face.
"W-what was that?" I watch the girl disappear back into the building, "oh~ mister popular seems to be enjoying his youth~" I turned around to see Aki hiding in the shadows, "A-Aki?! how long were you hiding there for?!" embarrassed to be seen by Aki of all people.
"Well I was here first" he steps out of the shadow and slowly approaches me, "so how are things?" I responded gingerly "o-oh it's great I guess" he chuckles, "really? that's good, and the way you turned that girl down is really nice of you, didn't lie to her and didn't show any unnecessary pity or concerns" I rub the back of my neck a bit embarrassed by his compliment. "Thanks, it was the first time getting confessed by a girl, so I'm glad there are people that do like me" I shyly chuckle feeling a bit cocky.
ENTER THE BEHIND THE SCENES?
HAHAHAHHAHA YES!
DON'T ASK JUST DO IT ⬅
The day before the confession.
"Reports!" said the leader, "here it is madam!" a subordinate rushes with the papers, "good" she quickly scans the words and smirked, "Alright girls! line up from oldest to the recently joined members!" using the number pins they sorted out in 5 straight line, luckily the hall was able to fit a total of 309 of the members.
The leader walked up to the podium with a megaphone.
[THE LEADER ⬆⬆⬆]
After clearing her voice she turned on the microphone "LISTEN UP FELLOW FUJOSHIS! NOW YOU ALL SHOULD KNOW WHY YOU'RE GATHERED HERE TODAY! WELL, IT SEEMS LIKE A CERTAIN SHIP IS SLOWLY SINKING SINCE THERE AREN'T MANY INTERACTIONS! THAT'S RIGHT! IM TALKING ABOUT ALEX X AKI!" several of the girls cry in disappointment.
"DO NOT WORRY! I WILL MAKE SURE NONE OF THE SHIPS SINK UNTIL ALEX BECOME CANNON WITH ONE OF THEM! I KNOW A LOT OF YOU SECRETLY SHIPS KEN AND ALEX AS WELL! you sick twisted girls" she quietly mumbles, "BUT THAT'S FINE CAUSE I SHIP IT AS WELL!" in unison most of the girls squeel and fangirl over the thought of their incestuous ship.
"TOMORROW WE WILL COMMENCE THE 'CONFESSION YAOI FODDER' PLAN!!" the girls cheer as the fodder enters the stage.
"You know what to do" the leader whispers into her ear, "of course madam!" she says ever so happily, "anything to make my ship cannon!" and like that the plan commenced, all of the fangirls can't wait for the results. They all giggle thinking twisted thoughts about their shipping couple.
END OF BEHIND THE SCENES
"Achoo!" I sneezed loudly, "I think I'm catching a cold" I shiver, but for some reasons, I feel like there's a dark force watching over me in the dark or maybe I'm just imagining things?
