Hi guys! Thank you for the reviews, favEs and follows! I really appreciated it. This will be the last chapter for this fanfic. Sorry if it was just a three-shot but I hope you enjoyed it! I really hope you did, though. So um~ here's chapter 3!
"I'm off to my club!" Nobu saluted with her bored eyes and monotonous voice. "See ya!"
"Like I said before you don't belong to a club!" Nino retorted but the girl already left.
She let out a sigh and walked out of the room to go to her club. "That Nobume! She avoided and ignored all of my questions about her and Rin. It's none of my business – but I think I'm also at fault for making her stop liking him."
Flashback
"Hey! Nobu! You like Rin right?" asked the younger Nino with short hair.
"Y-yeah." A shade of pink appeared in Nobu's cheeks whenever the boy's name is mentioned.
"What did you like about him?"
"I don't know – "
"What? Do you really like him?"
"O – of course I do!"
"Then why'd you like him?"
Nobu pouted as she thinks of a reason why she likes him.
End of flashback
"I was just messing with her that time." Nino shrugged, satisfied of her reasoning as she cupped her chin. "And besides she didn't give me her answer."
Another flashback starts.
"Hey! Nobu!
"Hey! Nino!"
"Hey! Nobu!"
"Hey! Nino!"
"Hey! Nobu!"
" :"
"Look! It's Rin!" she pointed across the street.
Nobu immediately turned her head towards where the boy was.
" With a girl..." Nino added as her voice trailed off, pulling her hand back and glanced at the girl beside her.
"It couldn't have been that." She laughed nervously shaking her head. "No! No! No!" *sweat drop*.
Then, another flashback.
"Nobu, you like Boys Love right?"
"Huh? Why'd you ask?"
"I've been thinking about it a lot. What if you really end up with Rin in the future? But suddenly you discovered he and his good friend Nanase had a romantic relationship long way before you even get to know them. Will that be alright with you? You'll become their number one shipper then."
Nobu's face paled as the realization hit her. She stood there like a statue for more than one minute before they continued walking home.
"Come on! I'm only 12 that time. I didn't even know what I'm talking about. She liked BL right? So what I said didn't bother her right? That couldn't be it… right?" she stopped her tracks and faced the wall in a corner. The aura around her became gloomy all of a sudden. "Am I really her friend? What was going on inside my head at that time?"
She became more depress as she pondered more about what she did. I'm sorry Nobume. Nino had been a bad girl ;(.
"Nino's acting weird recently. I wonder what she's up to." Nobu mumbled to herself as she took out her outdoor shoes from the locker and replaced them with the indoor ones.
She was about to go when she unexpectedly meet red eyes. They were face to face, eye to eye, just inches away from one another. Then, she shouted in surprised and move backwards.
"I'm sorry if I surprised you, Nobu-chan-senpai." Gou apologized.
Upon realizing who it was, she gave the girl a nervous laugh.
"N – no problem." She waved her hand sideways *sweat dropped*.
An awkward silence filled the surrounding. She didn't know why but the girl was staring at her, as in staring at her like she was digging holes on her soul.
"W – well then, I'll leave first. See ya around Gou-chan." She said as she passed by the girl's side.
"Not Gou but Kou!" her kouhai corrected.
"Right. Sorry!"
Kou sighed as a response. "By the way senpai, we're having a joint practice with Samezuka right now. Do you want to watch? I remembered you saying you want to watch us compete with another team before."
"H – huh? Eh – w – well…"
But before she could refuse she was already dragged towards the pool.
Where ever she looked there were abs and muscles and sexy guys everywhere. She covered her lower face with her free hand while the other was holding her bag. This is too much for me.
"Ah – I wasn't expecting you Homura-san."
She looked at Makoto who stopped in front of her.
"Uhh – yes – well, Kou-chan kind of dragged me here…" she explained. "And I don't know where she suddenly went to. So I will be taking my leave, before she finds out." The last part was more of a mumble.
"Makoto-senpai!" Rei called out from the other side of the pool.
She was leaving the pool when suddenly something caught her eyes. It was Rin who just came out of the water. Damn! He looks sexy! Her face started to feel warm and it heat up more when Rin turned around. She looked away and quickly walked towards the door but suddenly something cold grabbed her hand making her looked back and meet Rin's eyes.
W – w – what - ?! O_O
She looked down at their clasping hands then back at Rin's face.
"H – Homura – san!" he called loudly, making everyone turned towards them.
She tried taking back her hand but his grip was too strong or maybe she was just too weak because at the moment her heart was beating fast crazy and she's experiencing what they called 'butterflies in my belly' something like that. This is too much for her to handle. She stiffened at the sudden closeness they had. Then, everything went mute. She couldn't understand what Rin was trying to say to her. The close contact made the scent of the chlorine tingles in her nose. She could see the small droplets of water that clings on to his hair, face, neck, shoulders and body. She begun taking note of every small details she could get from this without really knowing why. She just uh – started doing that.
Then, she remembered Nino asking her before what she likes about Rin. She thought of an answer, but actually the moment she heard her asked that she already knew what she liked about him. All of him is what she really wanted to say but knowing Nino, she would argue with that and let her elaborate the 'all of him'. Because it's too much of a hassle to explain it to her, she instead said 'I don't know' which still ended up a hassle to her.
"Homura-san!"
Suddenly, she flinched at the loud calling of her name, again, that escaped from his lips.
"Wh - ?"
"Are you alright?" he asked frowning.
"Uh – y – yes." She responded.
He sighed which she didn't understand why.
Before I realized it, those feelings which I had always shut away inside have grown so much that they're about to overflow. I wonder if he notice but doesn't really show it? I wonder if he's just shy. If only his gaze would turn towards me then – ah, that's strange I thought I didn't like him anymore… yet why am I still thinking about this? Really, I thought it was over when he went away but I guess I was wrong.
She stared at him like the way she always does ever since the beginning and slowly a smile formed on her face, a sad one, that is.
The truth is, I'm about to break into pieces. Hey, Rin, didn't you know? I –
"I like you." He said.
"Huh?" she said.
