Hana lets out a rough sigh as she pulls the keys from her pocket. It was a rough day, they just finished practice and consolidating Haruki and the poly relationship. Which was a long and hard fight. But it was worth it. Her hand rubs the spot on her head that he hit mighty hard.
Aki barks around her legs as she enters the room. "I know I know~". She bends down ruffling his fur, and dropping her bag off by her bed.
Mafuyu and Uenoyama decided to stop by kajis to let him know. Judging by his character Hana could already sense the males less over dramatic reaction. So she said she'd go home first. Plus she had a bunch of test to study for and a lot of things on her mind. Things she didn't notice at first.
'I love you'
Her mind wonders back to the words she ushered to the boys. Her mind was in shambles ever since that day. She can't say she didn't act on impulse. But it was nothing more then true. She wanted to talk to someone about it. Get there intake.
Hana props on her bed. Hand clutching around here phone as she stared up at the ceiling. The chirps of birds seeping through her open window.
Sadly she didn't have many people to go to. She was popular around the school. Yes. But when it came to personal things like this, she could only go to Mafuyu and Uenoyama. And they were the topic of the conversation, so that wouldn't work.
Ding
The flash of her phone gave her a slight eye sore. She leans it up to her face level, peering at the text on the screen.
Hiiragi
'Be there In 10 Baka'
She mentally groans. "Out of all times, you want to come now?". Her body barley pulls its self up from her laying position. She ties her hair in a high pony tail, and throws on some sweatpants, and a fitted black band tee.
It was a hot day but she just couldn't stray away from the sweatpants. She practically lived in them when it came to house clothes.
Her hand aimlessly flicks the ac on. Before replying to the text.
Hana
'My door locks in 6, if your not here by then, enjoy the blazing heat on my door steps'
Hana was toying around with her guitar. It's only been like 4 minutes and there was already a bang at her door. She sets it down on her bed and walks over to the door that was being repeatedly slammed with someone's fist.
"Okay! Don't break it!"
Her hands swing open the door. To find the two sweaty figures before her. Hiiragi was panting up a storm while clutching to a convenience store bag, hand still in the air as it now banged on nothing. Shizu was gasping for his life as he wiped the remainder sweat from his forehead.
"Pffttt"
Hana struggles to hold in her laugh with her hand over her face.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU LAUGHING ABOUT!!"
"Hiiragi please it's too hot for that!"
Hana shakes her head.
"I was only joking, you could of took your time"
She smirks before ushering them inside.
Hiiragi feels like he's about to burst
"HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW!!"
Shizu was already in her room. Body on the floor as he took in the fresh crisp air. Aki running over to him as he jumped on his stomach.
"I don't know, wild guess?"
She answers back. Giggling slightly at the sight of the melting shizu.
Hiiragi examines her attire, and the look of her face as she laughed.
"Yeah whatever, I'll forgive you as long as you keep this ac on"
He ushers, pressing the bag into her chest. Hana grabs it. The contents being fruity drinks, chips and doggy treats for Aki.
"Didn't need your forgiveness, but thanks for the snacks"
She chuckles ruffling his hair a bit. Before prompting herself on the bed while they sat by her on the floor. Enjoying there position there better. That's where the air hit first.
Hiiragi grumbles under his breathe as a light tint of blush flushed his cheeks. His eyes can't help but go back to her, as he watched her take a drink. The way her lips wrapped around the bottle. How her eyes filled with joy when she liked the taste of it. Her small 'ah' from the cool refreshment.
Hiiragi
'Get your shit together!'
He mumbles to himself.
They caught up on a few things. Talking about her band along with theirs. And how they had a to use a substitute. Which she understood given the circumstances. But she almost burst when she heard that Hiiragi was the vocalist, which he then compared to Mafuyu's reaction.
After sometime the sun stared to set and they dialed down. And shizu didn't have to break the two from killing each other. They just sat and enjoyed the air. Hana's hair was now out and glazed around her shoulders.
She toyed around with the strings of her guitar that rested in her lap. Her eyes shifted to the two around her. Shizu was writing something in her thinking book. And Hiiragi was playing with Aki. The topic in her head wanting to be let out so bad. She didn't think they were untrustworthy. More so she was a bit more focused on if it was okay to talk about the relationship with Mafuyu and Uenoyama, while they weren't there.
So she improvised.
"Hey guys?"
Shizu brings his full attention to her while Hiiragi hums in response, still throwing the small rubber ball to the hallway and watching Aki run after it.
"You ever made a smoothie before?"
Hiiragi finally looks at her with the Ultimate 'what the fuck' face she's ever seen. Shizu was trying to play the more reasonable side.
"Well yeah, but why are you asking ?"
She gulps thinking if that was the smartest approach.
"Well, when you make a smoothie right? You add more then one fruit correct?"
Hiiragi glances at shizu. To which shizu reply's with a look of sympathy. Hiiragi wasn't the smartest so he didn't get it. But shizu knew she had to been hinting at something she wanted to say. Hiiragi takes the small hints and reply's.
"Unless you want a plane smoothie then yeah I'd add more then one"
"So say it was precisely three Fruits?"
"Uh Huh?"
Shizu hums trying to see where she was getting at. He was almost chocking it up to her just being tired, cause what the hell was she talking about.
Hana stares at the wall for a bit, and glances at the picture of her Mafuyu and Uenoyama.
"During that blending process they all mash together. The banana, the strawberry, and the blueberry"
This time they just sat and listened . Waiting for her to continue. She lets out a loud sigh.
"And after it's all done and you go in for a taste. One of those fruits have been seriously drowned out by the other two. Which would be the blueberry since it seems less dominate"
She waves her hands in the air
"It's like you can't even taste that last fruit anymore, and only the two dominant fruits!"
Hiiragi starts to feel irritation in his chest. He throws the ball at her head, hitting her on in her temple. Good thing it was only a rubber ball.
"Hana what the hell are you getting at!"
Usually she'd bark back, but she just rubs the stop of her head that was just hit. And stares down at her lap once again. Her eyes slightly filling with tears at the corner.
"What if In the end, the smoothie was only ment for the banana and the strawberry..."
♥ ♡ ♥ ♡ ♥ ♡ ♥
The flashes of light and clicks from the camera echoes through the small studio. Hana's face muscles clench together like it was for her life. Who knew getting your picture taken would be so funny.
Kaji nudges her side and the look of his strained face made her wanna burst into a fit more.
Take chan growls pulling the camera from his face.
"Dammit, you guys!! Knock it off already! The next person who can't keep a straight face owes me 500 yen!!"
Kaji struggles
"Please don't, the more you tells us we can't laugh, the more I wanna laugh"
Uenoyama couldn't hold it, holding his fist up to his mouth as he looked to the floor, snickering.
"Okay, Uenoyama that's 500 yen!"
Haruki couldn't help it at the sight of Uenoyama. Turning his back to the camera as he snickered. It was like a trail of events, Hana goes in front of Haruki, clutching his shirt as she laughed to her hearts content. Haruki was hitting her shoulder as he knew if she kept going he was going to burst too.
"Haruki!!! 500 yen!"
"Hana, that's 600 for you!"
"What!?!?! I gotta buy dinner!!"
She laughs out the response
"Yeah~~ that shouldn't count!"
Haruki defends.
Take chan shakes his head
"You can smile but no dopey grins"
He claps his hands together
"Now come on! Tighten those face muscles!"
After some more struggling. They finally finished the promo shoot. They all crowded looking at the pictures that was presented to them on take's tablet.
They all silently stared at the picture. Mafuyu and Uenoyama tug the electronic back and forth. As Hana stood in the middle, turning her to get a good angle of it.
She had her hair in a half up half down style. Her pants were black and had rip texture patterns to it. She wore a black turtle neck that popped out her eye color. And they all wore coats with fur lined hoods. Hers was black to match the theme of her out fit. In the picture she had her tongue out, revealing her brand new tongue Piercing she failed to mention. And her red guitar strapped around.
Kaji has his arm around her in that one showing off his. The two matching well In his grey themed outfit.
"Uh...what's with the vague reactions? Do they suck? Do you not like them?"
Hana quickly waves her hands around.
"No it's not that at all. We really do like them!"
She jogs over to take and pats his shoulder
"Your an amazing photographer take chan!
Take smiles proudly ruffling her hair.
"700 for the failed attempt"
Gloom raises around her head as she twitches her eyebrow.
"It was worth a try..."
Haruki pouts promising to buy her dinner when they left. They started to talk about what picture they used for there old band. Hana couldn't help but glaze at Mafuyu and Uenoyama. Everyone started to take there seats at the table and she realized they had chairs next to each other, while she had to sit across from them with haruki and kaji.
It was a subtle thing, but ment so much more to her for some reason.
After some time they all finally confessed they were embarrassed about how the pictures came out. And it made Hana laugh, as she actually thought she looked pretty nice in them. But it was funny to see them freak out about it.
"Do amateur bands need promo photos too?"
Mafuyu interrupts the comforting silence that quickly took upon there presence. Hana toyed with the skin tight turtle neck that almost had a death grip around her throat. She didn't reply as he was asking Uenoyama this.
Which he nods into response
"Of course they do. We need them for our social media sites and flyers. Their essential for a lot of things"
Hana took in the new information. Usually she'd chime in by now but she kept quiet. Not knowing why it was hard to speak to them. She felt like she'd be interrupting something she didn't have any part in. Which was weird to her.
Haruki looks up from his work.
"More importantly, what are you three doing?"
"Studying for a test"
"Modern lit"
"Trying out for volleyball"
Haruki almost has a mental breakdown shuffling his hands in his long hair.
"Stop shoving your youth in my face!!!"
He then complains to kaji who was just shifting through his phone while he worked hard with posting the pictures and entering them in things. Basically Updating their whole web life. While he looked at cat videos.
"How are we supposed to know what anyone born a thousand years ago was thinking?"
Mafuyu interrupts. He was serious.
"That's not modern at all"
The gloom that waves above the heads of the three adults did not go unnoticed.
"And we already suck at this stuff since we're in the science curriculum"
Uenoyama states this time.
Mafuyu and him turn there heads to one another. As they finally clicked something.
"Right?"
They say In synch.
Mafuyu giggles at this and it makes Uenoyama blush. Which also didn't go unnoticed by the adults. Take was just minding his business though, shuffling through his camera.
Hana squeezes the sleeves to her Turtle neck. Straining a smile to form on her face. When she really felt like something pierced her heart. Nothing with good intentions. And she hated that.
The only person close enough to see her real reaction before she hide it with the false smile, was kaji. He watched as her fingers clenched around the fabric, her knuckles going white.
Even though she felt the way she did. She didn't want to ruin everyone else's mood. So she sucked it up, and got herself ready for this surprise party.
̶̶̶̶ ̶«̶ ̶̶̶ ̶ ̶ ̶̶̶ ̶«̶ ̶̶̶ ̶ ̶»̶ ̶̶̶ ̶ ̶ ̶̶̶ ̶»̶ ̶̶̶ ̶ ̶
"Haruki's back!!"
Hana internally squeals. As she clutches the present In her hand. She always felt more hyped up at other people's surprise birthdays then hers.
"Haruki-San!"
Uenoyama calls out as the three come around the corner. Hana prompted in the middle. Like always.
Haruki was more then shocked seeing them. Hana getting a glimpse of his nicely braided up hair. And the 'star' badge that was around him.
"Happy birthday~"
Hana smiles just from the words leaving Mafuyu's mouth. She jogs over and presses the present into his chest.
"It took me all night to find that. So treat it with care."
Haruki felt his heart warm up. As he looked at the nicely wrapped preset. Small shades of pink now at the corners of his cheeks.
Hana felt kinda bad, as the ready kaji stood behind him. This was gonna get messy, hence why they protectively covered the house In blue plastic.
"Th-Thanks..."
"Haruki-San"
The more deeper rough voice calls from behind the male. He was finding too much joy in this.
"Huh?"
The poor Haruki turns around. Unknowing the trap he's just got in. Kaji reals back his hand, slamming the cream pie straight on the pretty boys face.
In the end they had fun. Joking around with each other and enjoying the small birthday party. It was nice. They even helped clean up. And Hana found out both her and Mafuyu's birthdays where In February. While Uenoyama's was in August.
They did joke abit. But Hana felt her self moving away from them when they started talking. She was beginning to get annoyed by this new habit. This insecurity in her chest that just sat there and boiled all day long.
It was getting so bad she ended up leaving earlier then expected. Giving half byes before almost jogging out the door, excusing that she couldn't leave Aki by himself for too long.
After running for a few minutes and finally ending up at her apartment. She finally felt it all sink in. Her Keys twist In the lock and she opens the door. She couldn't even drop her stuff off in her room, already dropping them by the door when she walked in.
She felt angry with herself. It wasn't like they were doing anything wrong right? She was the one pulling away out of fear. Why was she slowly feeling upset at them ?
Aki Barks at the sight of her. But she couldn't bend down today. Straight plopping on her bed. Almost like a timer her phone goes off as she does this.
Hiiragi
'How'd the shoot go?'
Hiiragi was sitting at his desk. He had on a dark grey sweater and grey sweatpants. He was supposed to be studying for his upcoming test, but he slowly kept finding his head wonder to the thought of her. And the last time he saw her.
His eyes shift back to the phone in his hand.
"Maybe that was dumb, I should of waited. What if she thinks I'm some kind of stalker now?"
Before he could finish ridiculing himself, his door creaked open. His mom popping her head in.
"Hey honey? Dinners ready, wanna come eat?"
He glances back at his phone and sighs. Accepting his faith he slides it in one of his pockets.
"Yeah I'm coming"
Lifting from his chair and walking around some of the comics he had scattered on the ground from slipping earlier.
Before he could get to his door. His phone vibrates in his pocket. His heart jumps but he mentally prepares for it to be something insulting.
Hana
'Yeah it went great. I'll send you the digital copies'
'But Um.....'
'If you got the time, can we call?'
"Mom on second thought I'll eat later!"
He slams his door closed and jumps on his bed at the speed of light. Fixing the hoodie that was slightly too big for him.
Hiiragi
'I think I have the time 🤔'
Hana
'Just call me, idiot'
He laughs to himself before pressing her contact. And listening to the ringing. Then the Sound finally pouring through.
"Hello?"
"Yo!"
They talked for hours. Surprisingly the conversation stayed interesting. He kept his cocky demeanor but she finally took it as a joke. And just him trying to be funny. Which did make her laugh. And helped out as he vibe wasn't the most happiest before this call.
"When did you get a tongue piercing!"
She couldn't help but laugh as he just noticed. She sent him the copies and she was getting his upfront reaction.
"Like a week ago!"
"You open your mouth all the time and I've never seen it"
Hiiragi's honestly thought she looked amazing in the pictures. But he would die and rebirth himself before he told her that.
After a few more snarky remarks. Silence finally felt through the call.
"Hey Hana?"
She swallows the lump in her throat as she caught herself thinking about the situation she was in not long ago.
"Sorry, I was doing something"
"It's about the smoothie thing again right?"
For how stupid that sounds, he was correct. It was nagging at her brain and didn't wanna let her live.
"Did you find out who was the blueberry?"
While they talked that day with shizu she expressed how she didn't know who would end up being the blueberry. She didn't say who it involved. But hiiragi kind of got the sense of who it was.
And he couldn't say that it didn't bother him...
"No I still don't know for sure-"
Her phone goes off. As the notification for a new post on the 'given' page was sent to her. They already posted the birthday pics so what was this?
"Hold on"
She put him on speaker as he hummed an 'okay'. Her fingers clicking the notifications. As it took her to the two post on the page.
'There was a festival on our way home'
'He bought me cotton candy'
Her eyes gaze the two pictures. The first being Uenoyama's picture of Mafuyu, and the second being Mafuyu's of Uenoyama and the cotton candy.
"It's like there one big happy couple...."
She didn't notice the slight croak in her voice.
"You okay Hana?"
She sighs, wiping the tears that fell from one side of her face.
"Hiiragi, I think I'm slowly turning into the blueberry..."
