CHAPTER 1: THE CHANGE
On an ordinary day of the service club, a banter of one Hikigaya Hachiman and Yukinoshita Yukino was ongoing, and the poor third member of that club which was Yuigahama Yui, were forced to hear it from start to the end that doesn't seem to be coming some time soon because she couldn't force herself to banter to stop them as the intelligence level of that banter was too high for her.
To the relief of Yuigahama, the banter was forced to a stop because the door of the clubroom was slid open with a lot of force making a loud noise, which was accompanied with the loud voice of a council president.
"Seeeennnnpaaaaaaiiiiiii!"
That one word made Hikigaya froze, reason was that he knew when she comes to the clubroom like that it means labor work for him and that equals to a total pain in the ass.
"Isshiki, before you say anything, let me say something and do as I say," Isshiki nodded to this, "step outside of this room for a bit," she did as he said.
The moment Isshiki stepped out of the the room, Hikigaya disappeared from his sit and in an instant was at the door, closing it and blocking it with his leg while leaning to the door frame, effectively locking Isshiki out.
It took a bit of time before Isshiki realized what was going on and then started to bang the door and shouting at him to open the door.
Her pleas fell to the deaf ears of a blank faced Hikigaya.
"Hikigaya-kun, I think that is going a bit too far, you don't even know what she came here for," said Yukinoshita with Yuigahama nodding.
"Well I know that but usually that way of her coming bursting through the door means she have labor work for me. Usually would have been fine but I'm kind of really tired today, don't know why though."
"I can understand that but at least give her a chance to speak for a bit, you might end up hurting her feelings Hikki," for the first time since the banter, Yuigahama finally get to talk, or at least voice her opinion.
"That one chance might end up being her chance to drag me to wherever that work is you know?" he deadpanned.
"Hikigaya-kun, the banging is getting weaker, she might end up cryi-"
Yukinoshita was cut halfway her sentence by the sound of sobbing outside the clubroom.
"Hikki, you made her cry!"
"I knew this was coming," Yukinoshita shook her head with a disappointed sigh.
"You went too far this time Hikki, apologize this instant!" Hikigaya ended up feeling guilty so he relented and opened the door.
He half expected that Isshiki would look at him while giving a sly look but to his shock, she was sitting on the floor, sobbing and rubbing her eyes," Senpai is a jerk…"
…
…
…
…
Hikigaya's mind went blank. This was the first time he saw Isshiki like this, it was too realistic to call it her acting so he deducted that she was crying for real.
"H-Hey, why are you crying?" he felt the heavy stares from his back coming from Yukinoshita and Yuigahama.
Isshiki didn't answer; she stood up and went inside the clubroom. She took a chair and sat down, all the while continuing to sob and rubbing her eyes. This made Yukinoshita and Yuigahama glare at Hikigaya.
Yuigahama's glare was cute, but for some reason it amplified the scariness and coldness of Yukinoshita's glare. Their glare was saying all that was all on their mind, things such as 'this guy is hopeless' and 'insensitive as always' and the like.
Those glares broke Hikigaya's defense and apologized, "sorry that I took it too far, I'll do as you say so stop crying already."
Not even a second after he said that, Isshiki's head rose up and showed her face to Hikigaya, her sly smile fully bloomed on her face.
"Then tomorrow go out with me and I'll forgive you."
Hikigaya, for the second time of the day, froze. So did the other two member of the service club. They have been had by the sly fox named Isshiki Iroha. The revelation that the Iroha faked her crying shocked them, but what shocked them the most was what Iroha said not long ago.
Iroha just straight out asked Hikigaya out, 'go out with me' is just the same as saying 'go on a date with me'. Those thoughts registered in the minds of Yukinoshita and Yuigahama. The two girls felt a bit regret for doing what they did to Hikigaya because they was the one that made Hikigaya believe Iroha's acting. They might be the reason that Hikigaya may become a thing with Iroha.
But what registered to Hikigaya's mind was 'go out with me tomorrow' means 'my weekend is disturbed' as the next day was the weekdays. This guy is as dense as a rock, maybe even denser. He didn't even think of the possibility of Iroha asking him out in a romantic way. But he had already said that he'd do as she says and he is a man of his word so he had no choice but agree.
"*Sigh* Alright, just tell me the details later. You have my number right?" he received a nod from Iroha that had an expression that mixed shock and shyness. "I'll go with you just this one time. So, what are you here for?" Hikigaya completely dismissed the whole situation like it was nothing, shocking the three girls.
But then it dawned to them; Hikigaya was a dumb dense guy so he probably missed the whole meaning of what Isshiki said. It made Yukinoshita and Yuigahama let out a sigh of relief and Isshiki to be disappointed.
"I only came here to hang out for a bit since the council work is already finished for the month, so I'll be free this whole month. But then Senpai just went and locked me out of the room. How cruel!" Isshiki made a cute pout. "I even brought cookies and a max coffee for you. Since Senpai is mean to me today I won't give you the cookies."
That didn't really bother Hikigaya so he asked," what about the max coffee?"
A megawatt smile formed on Iroha's face, making Hikigaya think that she was at least giving it to him, but then she took out the drink and brought it right in front of her face "I will drink it in front of you."
Now that had Hikigaya lose all composure. Words couldn't be formed and his mind shut down for a bit. His face then went blank and unfocused. What Iroha was about to do was probably the worst kind of torture Hikigaya could ever think of.
After a while of enjoying the look like the world would crumble apart on Hikigaya's face, Iroha decided that she had enough of teasing him and walked over to him to place the coffee in front of him.
"I was just kidding, I know how much you love this drink so I'm giving it to you."
Hikigaya then faced Iroha and looked at her like she was an angel, but then he remembered the sly foxy personality of hers and his face went back to his usual composed face.
The rest of the day went normal and soon it was time for them to go home.
(Line Break)
On the way to the gate of the school, Hikigaya and the other two members of the service club and Iroha was stopped by Miura Yumiko.
Apparently after Hikigaya helped with Yumiko's request of finding out Hayama Hayato's choice of subject for the next year, she decided to thank him by treating Hikigaya to a meal. Hikigaya of course didn't refuse free meal and agreed to her, albeit a bit suspicious of her intention as it came out of nowhere.
On that meal, Yumiko found out that Hikigaya was actually really fun to hang out with once she got to know him well. What she especially found interesting about him the most is that when he thinks aloud, meaning that whatever that he says is usually the truth. A week after that, she asked him out again, this time as a request to help her study.
Why she didn't ask Hayama for help you might ask, well a few weeks before she treated Hikigaya to the meal, she confessed to Hayama and was rejected. Hayama said something about it being better for her to stop liking him 'cause the one that she likes isn't what she really sees in him, and after that, it became awkward for them so Yumiko kept her distance.
Anyway, on that study session with Hikigaya, she consulted about Hayama with Hikigaya and his solution for that was simple, he told her to talk to Hayama and she did. Surprisingly, that worked and they made up, though Yumiko gave up on Hayama.
Since then, Yumiko was on good terms with Hikigaya and became a frequent visitor of the service club, which brings to the current situation.
"Sorry that I didn't show up today, kinda busy with something," Yumiko ran over to them.
"It's fine, not like you're a member of something. In fact, I'm actually surprised that you came over to the club everyday," Hikigaya once thought that she became a member of the club but was told that she was only visiting.
"Now that you mention it, I'm not a member. Should I join the service club?" asked Yumiko.
"Why ask us? It's your decision whether you want to join or not," Hikigaya said and then mumbled, "Besides, when you come over, what you do is basically just talking with Yuigahama."
That earned Hikigaya a heated glare from Yumiko that made him feel like he was being stared down from a giant anaconda that was incredibly bloodthirsty.
"Huh?"
That made Hikigaya straightened his usually slouched back, "nothing Ma'am."
"I thought so," Yumiko smirked.
They all then continued walking to the school gate. While walking, Yuigahama being the Yuigahama she is started to tell about what happened on the clubroom to Yumiko with Iroha chiming in once in a while. Yuigahama then reached the part where Iroha asked Hikigaya out and Yumiko's eyes widened. She immediately turned her head to Hikigaya.
"Hikio, you're going out with Iroha-chan?"
"Yeah, just for tomorrow," he replied, making Yumiko confused. So he's just going out with her for one day, and then…
"So you're gonna break up right after?" this time, Yumiko was the one that was at the end of a glare, though this time it was a sub-zero cold glare.
"Miura-san, I believe that you are misunderstanding something here. That sloth right there," Yukino pointed at Hikigaya, " is just stupid enough to fall for Isshiki-san's trick that led him to accompanying her out tomorrow."
"H-"
Hikigaya was about to say something about Yukino's statement but was immediately silenced when Yukinoshita turned her glare to him.
"Wow, never knew you were that easy to subdue Hikio," Yumiko giggled, referring to what happened with Iroha and the glare from Yukino.
"Try being the one that glare is directed to," Hikigaya grumbled. "Besides, you know how foxy and sly that Iroha is right, considering you and her used to be a rival in love or something."
That got Yumiko, "W-Well I guess I can understand your situation. But still, that was too easy Hikio. You need more defense, otherwise you might end up being scammed by those types of girls."
"Nah, those won't work on me. Somehow only you guys are able to trick me using those methods. You guys are the only special case," that shut them all up, face all red.
"Well we part ways here, see ya," Hikigaya said as they reached their separate points, somewhere during the conversation, they went out of the school ways.
The girls all watched the retreating form of Hikigaya until he was completely out of sight. They then went on their way to their respective homes, with what Hikigaya said sticking to their minds.
"So I am a special case to him, huh." they all thought
(Line Break)
It was early morning; Hikigaya is seen just coming out of the bathroom, bits of water dripping off his hair. He was only wearing a towel that hung to his waist and went to the kitchen to get a drink before he got dressed. He met Komachi at the kitchen, who gave him a look of disapproval at his state. Not a look of disapproval due to annoyance or anything, she just doesn't want to get her hormones tested, she was a healthy growing girl after all (A/N: Ahahaha, usually the role would have been reversed). Not that she doesn't appreciate her brother's athletic body, but she still doesn't want to see it, it made her feel weird.
Hikigaya ignored his little sister before grabbing a bottle of water and went to his room. Hikigaya of course knew what his little sister's look was for, he himself was proud of it. The training he did with Totsuka and a little more workout of his own gave him an athletes body that was not too big not too small, just lean.
He got dressed, wearing a simple red shirt with a black over shirt and a plain jean but he got the feeling that when he looked at the mirror, someone entirely different was staring right back at him but ignored it. When he ate breakfast with Komachi, she looked at him the entire time with wide eyes while not saying anything.
He then head out to the station where he was supposed to meet Iroha and waited for a few minutes, when he heard a loud girl shouting, "Senpai!" and turned to that direction, already knowing who it is.
"Did you wait long, Senpai?"
"Yeah, a few minutes. Learn to come earlier will ya?"
"Mou, how many times do I have to tell you Senpai? Girls don't like it if their date says that," Iroha pouted.
"And I'm gonna tell ya that a man don't like to wait long in the heat," Iroha pouted even more at that.
Iroha wanted to say something about Hikigaya's retort before she looked at Hikigaya's face and then it dawned on her.
"Who're you?" with a blank face.
