Himuro X Reader [Like?]

Title: Like?


He’s fascinating I cant stop watching him- I dont hate his fake smile---he’s entertaining.

Like? What kind of like is it?


Himuro frowned as he made his way from the clubroom back to his classroom. He forgot his notebook under his desk. When he got inside the room, his frown deepened when he saw you...

It's not like he hates you or anything, but he doesn't really like it when people sees him while he's on his 'not so good mood' and he's in that mood right now.

You didn't move from where you were sitting...on the teacher's desk. You were holding a book and seems to be engrossed on it that you didn't even care about other students catching you sitting on the teacher's desk.

'She's still here?' Himuro quietly whispered to himself as he pulled his chair quietly and look for his notes under his desk- hearing the slight sound, you looked over your shoulder and when you noticed Himuro, you slowly slid down from the desk.

"Ah, sorry to interrupt you, (l/n)-san." Came Himuro's apology after taking his note. He waited for a response but instead, you just nodded at him.

'Still not talking huh?' Himuro wondered why you didn't talk much...or probably just around him...but then Himuro thought that it was better that way because he didn't want to give out a fake smile at the moment.

Himuro shrugged and just decided to leave you on your own. But before he could step out of the room, a group of girls came and started swooning around him.

"Oh! Here we are--eh!? Himuro-san/kun!!!" They squealed and surrounded him- there were 4 of them and they were all a fan of his.

"Eh!? G-girls, girls! Calm down!" He tried to calm them down to stop them flocking around him with a smile giving them his charming smile making them fall for him more.

You heared Himuro's voice and you were suddenly interrupted from your book. When you look up and found Himuro smiling around the girls and trying to make them let him go.

Your eyes glanced back at the last line of the paragraph you are reading- you just wanted to know if Yokozawa and Kirishima did it after they reconciled...but you cannot concentrate anymore.

You looked at Himuro's face again, he was still smiling...

Smiling? You scoffed. You call that a smile? But its really fascinating...even like that.

You cleared your throat and interrupted the scene.

"Yumi-chan, is the club meeting over?" Your voice startled the girls and Himuro himself.

"Ah! (Name)-chan!" One of the girls' attention turned to you completly.

"Are you guys ready to go?" You closed your book and walked to your chair to grab your bag.

"Yes, (name)-chan!" The other answered.

"Great, let's go. Let's leave Himuro-chan to do his business okay? He looks tired already..."  You looked at Himuro's face and you chuckled at his look.

He looked at you in surprise.

The girls 'awed' in disappointment, but walked after you when you started heading out of the door, past Himuro and murmuring a small, "Jya, Himuro-chan."

And the rest of the girls followed you.

"Bye Himuro-kun!" They squealed.

Himuro was speechless, but he cannot deny that you helped him with his little problem with the girls and he was grateful for that. He started to walk with the thought of thanking you tomorrow.

*HimuroTatsuya*

The next morning, Himuro found you sleeping- your head was leaning on your desk and you had your eyes closed and Himuro found himself staring at your sleeping face without realizing that he was just standing at the side of your desk and everyone was looking at him.

"Himuro-kun, you can stare at (l/n)'s face later during the break time, for now, please go back to your seat, we will start the class." The sensei interrupted making Himuro jump slightly and apologize walking back to his seat behind. "You too, (l/n)-kun! Please wake up!"

The reprimanding sound jolted you back from the Lala land and you looked up and found your teacher standing in front and is now reprimanding your other classmates.

"Damn." You grumbled quietly followed by a yawn.

You didn't get enough sleep last night, you were  trying to catch up reading wth some random novel your friend introduced. And now,here you are...sleepy.

You didn't even pay attention to Himuro who was seated by the window behind you as he tried to call your attention.

Himuro sighed.

You looked so tired. He decided not to bother you now...maybe later?

It was break time and Himuro is once again surrounded by his fangirls. Asking if he could eat lunch with them and all Himuro could do is sigh and give them his charming smile...even though he is starting to get pissed from their constant pestering.

'Now where is Atsushi when you needed him?' His eyes glanced around and found your own (e/c) orbs watching him with the girls.

"Himuro-chan is quite popular with the younger year,isn't he..." It wasn't a question, it was a statement.

Your eyes met Himuro's own and somehow, that moment, you didn't look away...if you look away, it will be more obvious that you are watching him--well you are watching him.  He's quite entertaining to watch. You watch it all the time, you just dont let the others notice this.

"Yes, he is." Your friend responded. "That is why yesterday, when we saw him around the classroom and alone without that titan of his and fangirls so we flocked around him...but then... sadly, you interrupted." Your friend Yumi huffed in defeat.

"Ahahah, gomen Yumi-chan." You half-heartedly apologized, but you weren't sorry about it one bit, "but Himuro-san looks so tired and pissed off yesterday, so I was just worried that he might snap at you guys and all." The last part was silently said, you didn't want them to look at Himuro that way...and they will not understand what you mean anyway...

To them, if Himuro smiles...they all know that he's in a good mood. Do they not notice how his visible eye twitch whenever they flock around him? How he sigh whenever they block his way to the cafeteria?

You blinked and decided to look away now, having an eye to eye contact while pretending you are just staring at particularly nothing is starting to hurt your eyes.

Himuro is a very enetertaining person to watch...when you are bored.

'2 minutes.' Himuro noted, they were having an eye contact for two minutes before (l/n) looked away to talk to her friends again.

'She watch people as if she just staring at particularly nothing, making people assume that she's just tired and empty.' Himuro's smile widened and smiled at the girls.

"Now, now girls, please let me have my lunch in break. Atsushi is waiting for me at the cafeteria, we dont want him mad now, right?" He said to them with a smile.

And the girls just 'awwwed' and let him go.

"Himuro-senpai is so cool!"  The swooned after him. Those were first year students flocking around him.

+HimuroTatsuya+

You were packing you things later that day, the classes are over and the students are starting to leave the school one by one- the clubs are almost done and all. You didn't have a club meeting that day- but you just stayed back because you were in cleaning duty that afternoon, your partner left everything to you because she did all the cleaning earlier that morning and because you came in late and was sleepy she had to deal with all - and now, in exchange you'll have to do it on your own this time.

"Ara?" Himuro opened the door and found you there standing with your bag. "You're still here, (l/n)-chan?"

"Aa, its you." Your eyes darted to the person behind him. "And Murasakibara too." You greeted them with a nod. "I'm already on my way out. See you tomorrow, Himuro-chan."

"See you tomorrow." He greeted back, and Murasakibara just stood there eating his chips as you walked past them.

"Is that her, Muro-chin?" Murasakibara asked.

"What are you talking about, Atsushi?" Himuro asked.

"The person you are interested in." Himuro chuckled.

"I'm not interested in anyone, Atsushi." Himuro said, "and she is watching me like she's criticizing my every moves." Himuro said, and Murasakibara watched him boredly.

"Sometimes, I don't know if she just doesn't like me or if she just plainly hate me."

"She doesn't look like she hates you." Murasakibara pointed, "she said 'see you tomorrow Himuro-chan.'"

Himuro looked over his shoulder at Murasakibara.

"Stop looking at me, Muro-chin." He said, "Get your notes already." He added.

"Oh, yea." Himuro walked to his desk and took another book he forgot.

+HimuroTatsuya+

The next day, there was no classes, the teachers were having an emergency meeting leaving the students free to do whatever they like. Most of the students were gathering at the cafeteria, others are at the gym--but you decided to just stay in the classroom to sleep.

Himuro on the other hand is being flocked around by the first years. Without Murasakibara e was left to handle them on his own....until he saw their classroom window open - he noted that it was where he sits and the seat in front of his...there is someone currently occupying it.

He recognized the person with their head slumpped on the desk.

"Girls, please excuse me I had to meet someone right now. Sorry" he smiled at them and he walked up the staircase two steps at a time. The girls on the other hand are still following him, asking who is he meeting or if its a girl or not.

Your eyes opened when you heard footsteps coming to the classroom followed by a sound of someone opening the door.

"He went inside!" You heard the girls as they open the door to your classroom.

They were surprised to see you there in front, crossed legged on top of the teacher's table, holding a math book and seems to be answering a math problem. Your back facing them.

"Are you first years here for a tutorial too?" You asked them with a smile. The girls froze on the spot.

"Go-gomen, senpai- we just thought Himuro-senpai went in here." You tilted your head to the side and stood up properly on the floor, you wanted to approach them but something restricted you from walking away from the table. So you just stood there behind the desk and placed your book down on the table and tilted your head cutely to the side.

"Himuro-chan?" You asked them with a smile.

"Hai. We saw him here...and we thought..."

"He didn't. But he went to the cafeteria saying he needed to meet up with Murasakibara-kun." You said, informing them.

"Is that so? Thank you very much senpai." The girl left the room one by one as they went to the direction of the cafeteria.

You sighed in relief followed by a frown when the girls are out of sight then your eyes move to glare at the person hiding under the teacher's desk and is holding both of your ankles in place to cover him up.

"They left already." You told him.

"Thank you." He said, as he slipped out under the table. "...and sorry for interrupting your sleep." He said as he stood up in front of you.

To be honest it was your first time experiencing standing near him.

"Wow, you're tall." You commented."what's your height?" You asked curiously and this surprise Himuro.

"I'm 183cm" he answered.

"Wow. Its my first time standing this near to you. And you looked so small... or it was just because of Murasakibara's titan like height?" Himuro chuckled at your words.

"Why are you laughing?" You asked him, "you should be happy I complimented your height." You grumbled walking past him back to where you were sleeping moments ago.

"Why are you here all by yourself?" Himuro asked following you.

"They went to watch the baseball team practice. It’s cold there so I decided to stay and just sleep."

"Ah I see." Himuro smiled as you stare at him with that blank look on your face, then your eyes moved to the person who suddenly appeared behind him.

"Himuro-kun, we have a meeting at the student council. Now." One of senpais from the third years came, and Himuro smiled at him and you watched Himuro forced out a smile as the senpai left the room.

"Meeting huh?" Then he turned to you again and smiled.

"I guess I have to leave now."

"Mm." You nodded, and Himuro sighed. "But...you can always ditch you know, tell them you have practice or something." You suggested, surprising Himuro.

"Why would I do something like that?" He asked you.

"Well... its too tiring to attend a boring meeting led by Tomonaga-senpai especially the fact that he's always late and all."

"How do you know he's always late?"

"I was part of the student council during first year. He sucks." You laughed. "And your smiling face sucks too. I dont know why they swoon over you fake smile though..probably because you still look good with them on."

Himuro's eyes widened while listening to you until you stopped and waited for him to say anything...he suddenly laughed.

"Why are you laughing again?" You asked him, a little irritated.

"Nothing really." Himuro said, "But you think I look good?" He asked.

There as a short silence and Himuro's smile fell when you didn't answer immediately.

"Well...everyone says so." You answered.

"So you think I don't look good?" Himuro asked.

"I like your smile though."

"My smile huh?" Himuro chuckled at your answer, he was surprised to be honest.

"But I general, if I think about it...yes. You are a good looking one." You answered.

"Well... thank you for that, (l/n)-chan." Himuro chuckled and placed his hand around your shoulder and led you out of the room.

"Where are we going?"

"To the cafeteria, let's go meet Atsushi and the others so we can hangout at the gym."

"Why should I go with you?" You pulled away from Himuro and he stopped from walking.

"Because, senpai will sure come back here and ask why I didn't followed him back to the student council." Himuro reasoned. "And also, you were the one who suggested this. So you go with me." He gave you a smile and grabbed you wrist before pulling you along with him.

Well...it wasn't that bad right? Going along with him?

+HimuroTatsuya+

It has been a while since you and Himuro started talking to each other more than the casual greetings at the hallways. And since then Himuro found himself watching you more closely.

"Muro-chin, you're staring at (l/n)-chin too much." Murasakibara commented while he eats his lunch.

"You think so?" Himuro looked up at him and was surprised at his partner's comment.

"Yeah." He answered lazily, glancing at your direction too. You were just sitting with your friends at the table across them, talking about something random one of your friends started.

You smiled and then laughed at the joke the other mentioned and Himuro watched as you giggled with your friends whole-heartedly.

Later that day, Himuro caught you alone again...but this time it was at the library. He was going return a book he borrowed yesterday and he saw your back trying to reach something on the top shelf.

"Let me get that for you." A voice said followed by a hand grabbing the book you wanted and you immediately turned to face the person.

"Hi-Himuro!" You gasped in surprise. Himuro was surprised at your surprised tone.

"S-sorry." He apologized immediately seeing your face pale.

"Oh Gods! Don't do that again! You almost gave me a heart attack!" You said to him as your hand moved to where your beating heart was pumping thrice its normal speed.

"Sorry, sorry." He said, patting your head and waiting for you to calm down. "I didn't know you'll get so surprised like that."

"Well... me too." You admitted, "I was reading some scary ghost stories just now... and well...I was a little wary about everything now..." you scratched the back of yoru head, "and yeah... its alright. Just don’t do it again, this library is quite creepy too you see.."

Himuro chuckled at your honesty.

"If you think its scary here, why are you here on your own then?"

"I came to borrow a book about classical literature."

"You're interested in them?"

"Well... a little... I read about them when I'm bored and got nothing else to do." The both of you walked to the librarian and you got the book you wanted.

Once the two of you were out of the library, Himuro followed you quietly and looked around I curiosity. You noticed it and stopped.

"Is there something wrong, Himuro-chan?" You asked, and Himuro stopped to look at you.

"Nothing, I just thought I saw someone following us." You didn’t move.

"What?"

"Nothing, just probably my imagination. You know what the story was already right?" You stared at Himuro's serious face behind his bangs and you know...

"...No, I don't know..." you murmured.

Himuro watched you with his hand on both inside his pockets. Your twinkling eyes waiting for him to start his story.

"Yuki Onna." Himuro mentioned and you frowned, the creepy eerie disappearign instantly.

"Aw, and I thought you got something more different that that, Himuro-chan. I can tell you five variations of that story." You turned and started walking away, by Himuro grabbed your hand stopping you suddenly.

"What now?"

"No- it wasn't that- I'm sure you haven’t heard of this one yet. It's not like what those common kaidan." Himuro waited for your answer.

"Ok. Fine. I'll listen."

"Great." Himuro smiled at you suddenly felt your cheeks warm up.

"Let's go over there." Himuro pointed at the seats available the student area near the library hall.

"So, how does this story goes?"

"Yesterday, I was walking around looking for Atsushi, but he wasn't around the cafeteria so I decided to look for him around here in the library. But I over-heard a group of girl murmuring about the Yuki Onna of Yosen." You wanted to laugh- but then Himuro's face was just so fascinatingly serious and you suddenly knew that if you laughed at his lame story, he won't like it...so you didn't.

“Yuki Onna of Yosen?” you asked.

“Yes. I heard them talking that they’ve seen her around wondering here in the school’s campus.”

“And?” you waited, Himuro’s story suddenly sounded so...real.

“I heard that they heard the story first from the school janitor. That there’s a woman wondering around the school grounds every evening and looking for his husband’s  other woman who was said to be a student of this school as well.”

“...” you were silent as you try to understand his story. “..wait.” you looked up at Himuro.

“Hm?”

“Are you saying that the this is a new story? Because...I mean, our school isnt that old...and the way you tells the story is like...it just happened recently."

"She was called Yuki Onna because she died during a terrujble snow blizzard. It was said that she was a teacher here and caught his husband cheating with another student. She wanted to confront the young lady but there was a blizzard that day and she was stuck outside---she was almost dying when one of the janitors found her and let her inside and helped her. She continued to look for her husband until she died around here somewhere." Himuro gestured to the library halls.

"And her husband?" You asked.

"He was a teacher too, here.'' Himuro whispered. "He was caught having a relationship but not with another student. Instead, with the school nurse. His wife didn't know that it was the nurse- so her soul continued to look for the female student who stole her husband from her...that is why every now and then, when lovers are found doing something strange around here... the woman appears before them and she goes after the ladies and freezes them to unconsciousness."

"..." you didn't talk anymore. Instead, your eyes wondered around the halls and looked for something like a woman floating or walking by.

"Um...how do they know if the woman is around?" You asked.

"It starts to get cold even though you are inside a warm area and it gets darker outside even if its noon."

Soon, you felt cold...and slowly, you felt the coldness crawl up from your leg up you body. You looked around to inspect the area- the whole library hall is empty and across the library is the infirmary...which is also empty.

"Himuro-"

"Hm?" Himuro studied your freaking-out mode and smiled as you grabbed his sleeves.

"I'm scared." And an icy cold wind blew, making you squeal and grab Himuro closer to you as you tried to hide yourself behind him.

"Ara~ it's just the window (l/n)-chan." Himuro chuckled when he noticed the open window at the end of the hall- letting the cold wind in.

"I think..." you looked behind you, "I think we need to leave now- gods, this floor is more scary now!" You pushed Himuro but not far enough fro your reach- you made sure you're clutching his sleeve so he won't get away.

"But why? Isn't it fun if we get to meet Yuki Onna?"

"I dont wanna!" You refused, and Himuro chuckled at your actions.

"Okay- okay. Let's go back." Himuro let your pushed him around back to your classroom to get your bag.

It was there when Murasakibara found the two of you walking to the school gates.

"Muro-chin?” He drawled lazily, he was holding a plastic bag of snacks and is on his way back to the gym. "(l/n)-chin."

"Chin?" Murasakibara's eyes glanced at you and then back at Himuro.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to walk (l/n)-chan to the bus stop- she's too scared to walk on her own."

"Hey! I am not! It was you who decided that."

"Heh~ why is there something scary?" He asked.

"The Yuki Onna." You answered, "Himuro told me that a Yuki Onna is haunting the library halls." Murasakibara glanced lazily at you to Himuro.

"Yuki Onna?" He tilted his head to the side in confusion.

"Yes." You nodded.

"Who told you that?" He took a bite of his snack waiting for your answer.

"Himuro-chan." You answered, the three of you stopped at the waitibg shed. It ended up with Murasakibara walking with the two of you.

"Eh?" He looked at Himuro, "but that isn't real- Fukui-chin is just messing up with the girls so that they'll get scared. I can't believe Muro-chin fell for that." Murasakibara said. And Himuro chuckled guiltily.

"I did not-"

"What? Then it was just all a joke?" You frowned at Himuro.

"No- yes, I mean was just trying to--" you sighed tiredly and your sigh made Himuro felt guilt from the small issue.

Himuro was going to try and explain it but you silenced him with a glare, and exactly that moment, the bus decided to come spand stop in front of you- you didn't bother looking back at Himuro and went straight to the back of the bus.

Murasakibara watched as his partner's mood changed.

"Muro-chin, (l/n)-chin left already." He said and Himuro sighed in return as he walks back with Murasakibra.

The next day, Himuro waited for you...to talk. It seems like it didn't came good to you when you heard from Murasakibara that it wasn't real...that story. He didn't mean it to come out like that...so he had to apologize for the little issue.

That morning, he thought you'll be there early like you always do. But you came in late- panting as you opened the door and look if the teacher is already in front- luckily not yet. You immediately dashed to your seat...but before that you caught the sight Himuro looking at you.

"(L/n)-" he wasn't done with your name yet- but the teacher came in and you immediately looked in front.

+HimuroTatsuya+

"Himuro, is there something wrong?" It was Fukui who asked him. Himuro seemed to be worrying over something.

"Murasakibara." Fukui turned to the taller one who was eating chips.

"I don't know." He shrugged. "Ah! I remembered, yesterday Muro-chin and (l/n)-chin..." and Murasakibara told them the story. "But I don't think she's angry." He added lastly.

And then they turned to Himuro who was now, nowhere to be seen.

"Where did he go?" Fukui asked.

"He went back to the classroom."  Liu answered.

+HimuroTatsuya+

Himuro found you walking back to the classroom with your friends, but they went to the direction of the girl's comfort room. And Himuro now found his chance.

"(L/n)!" He called and you turned and found Himuro standing at the door.

"Himuro-chan, what is it?" You asked him.

"Nothing- I just thought that I should apologize from yesterday."

"Ah, that?" You started fixing your bentou back to your bag, "That's okay."

"Okay? --you don't hate me?"

"Hate you? You chuckled at him, "don't be silly, I don't hate you, in fact, I like you." You answered him with a smile making Himuro froze in his place upon noticing how innocent your smile was. "So don't worry about it too much- I enjoyed the story though- I really thought it was real- but it seems like Fukui-senpai got us both huh?"

It took time for Himuro to process your words.

"Himuro-chan?" You asked, he seemed to be out of it. "You okay?"

"Ah yes." He blinked and turned red.

"Why are you red? Are you sick or something?" You reached up to put your hand on his forehead to feel his temperature and he turned red more. "You dont feel warm tho..."

"No-no, I'm fine." He chuckled lightly. "So you like me? What does that mean?" He asked you.

"That means I don't hate you." You answered with a straight face. "Your smile is nice. I like them very much, but I don't like your forced out smile—but they are still fascinating it makes you look like a grumpy bishounen from a shoujo manga."

Himuro blinked at your answer.

"A forced out smile..A bishounen character?"

"Yes. One with a temper and a dark attitude or something like that is nice too." You suddenly added, agreeing to your thoughts.

"Eh? So you like something like those types too?" Himuro asked, following and sitting down in front of your table.

"Well, it depends." You answered. "My range of 'like' depends on my mood too. There are times when I'm into some one like Kise Ryouta, but I end up gettign bored of them immediately" you started- Himuro frowned at that another kiseki... "I only liked them because my friends keep talking about them and such so I ended up liking them but only for a short time..."

"...but most of the time I'm interested at random fascinating people."

"Oh. I see." Himuro nodded. "What kind of 'like' am I in then?" He asked.

"...I don't know." You answered truthfully. To be honest, that is the truth. You were just fascinated on how he smiled at the rest of the people and how he smiled when he's faking it. It was just as simple as that- but what 'like' is that? You didnt know.

"Eh?" Then Himuro chuckled "You don't know? And you told me you like me with a straight face I almost...got the wrong idea." Himuro added with a little disappointed tone.

You were going to respond to that but then your friends came in and Himuro greeted them with a very heart-warming smile which made you smile too. Himuro noticed it and he thought... 'Well, at least she's honest with it, right?'

+HimuroTatsuya+

It was lunch time that he saw you walk back into the classroom. They were called by Coach Araki and so he is now walking with some of the basketball boys.

"Hey, (l/n)." You looked up as you fished out your bento and found Murasakibara and Himuro outside the classroom, behind them was Liu-san, Fukui-senpai and Okamura-senpai and some random member of the basketball club.

You gave Himuro a small nod, but it didn't satisfied him.

"Why are you having lunch here on your own?" He asked, walking to your table.

"The girls are part of the volleyball club, and is having a match today- so I'm on my own." You told him.

"Then how about a lunch with us?"

"Eh? N-no no! Thank you for the invita-"

"No? Its alright! Come let's have lunch at the cafeteria! Bring your bentou." He said smiling at you. You know it was a true smile immediately. So you followed him with a sigh.

"A bentou?" It was Murasakibara who was now looking at your lunch box while eating his own lunch.

"Yes, my mom made it." You answered and offered some to him. "Want some?"

"Are youy sure its okay?" He asked you and then looked at Himuro who just nodded with a smile.

"Yea its fine." You said and he took a piece of the omellete...followed by a weiner and more. You noted how Murasakibara acted like a child. The rest fo the team are welcoming, asking questions and all- some of them are from the same class as you so you didn't have hard time talking to them.

+HimuroTatsuya+

"Uwaaa! How did you do that Himuro?" One of the boys from the basketball team asked him.

"Do what?"

"How did you managed to make (l/n) talk and smile to you like that!?--add to it have her eat lunch with us?"

"Why? That wasn't that hard." He answered.

"Back during junior high after her boyfriend broke up with her- she wasn't as approachable as she was before anymore."

"Boyfriend?"

"Well, yea... he was a popular guy too, we were surprised that she was able to date him and such- she was a very childish person--but she changed after they broke up and she was suddenly hard to approach."

"Oh... is that a bad thing that I became friends with her?"

"No- not really. But it was a good change that she's acting back like herself again though."

Himuro shrugged. 'She doesnt look like she's unapproachable at all.' Himuro said to himself, 'or probably because I just don't know her back before?'

'Well, I prefer it that she isn't approachable than the other way around' Himuro decided.

+HimuroTatsuya+

Himuro paced around his apartment looking for his calculator at the livingroom when he received an email from alex.

'Tatsuya! There's a fireworks festval happening in your area soon--can I come and stay over? You're not bringing anyone with you right? How about you take me?' Was what Alex sent him together with a photograph attached to the email of an Ad about the fireworks festival that is happening three weeks from that day.

"Too much work if I let Alex do as she pleases..." Himuro closes his phone and then he found his calculator on top of the television. "There you are." Then he walked back to his room and the idea of inviting (l/n) came to him.

"Hm...I wonder what expression will she have if ask her..." himuro thought to himself...with that he decided to invite her tomorrow.

+HimuroTatsuya+

Himuro didn’t get a chance to talk to you during the breaks because the basketball club had another meeting. But luckily the practice was cancelled that afternoon, so he gets a chance to walk you to the stop again..or so he thought.

It was almost dismissal time when Himuro was called by one of the representative of the other class and is asking for his presence at the student council meeting- this time he cannot just ditch it- he already ditched the last time.

Groaning, Himuro smiled at the representative making her blush at his beauty and followed her to the student council. It was almost past 5 when the meeting finished and he went straight back to the classroom and found it empty. But one of your friends came back to get something that they forgot.

"Oh, hey Himuro-kun! You're still here?" She asked.

"Yea. Are you going home now?"

"Yes. No practice today, coach said we should reat for tomorrow's match."

"I see. Goodluck." He said.

"Thanks. That's really very motivating coming from you." The girl smiled before turning around

"Wait!" Himuro called.

"Hm?"

"Have you seen (l/n)?" He asked.

"Ah, she went to the library today- she said she had to return the book she borrowed and also interested I borrowing a new one too- you know, she's quite into Literature lately." Your friend said before she waved at Himuro and started walking off.

"Library huh?" Himuro smiled to himself and started walking to the direction of the library hall.

+HimuroTatsuya+

Himuro walked in to the library hall and went straight to the literature shelves at the corner most part of the library; there she found you and his eyes widened and then immediately narrowed at the sight...

You were seated beside Fukui and Okamura was seated across you who was doing his own work, while you and Fukui are talking about something and he got you animatedly talking to him with excitement.

"If you have time we can go there some time." Fukui said, "I've been there once before, I think you'll like the place." He said.

Himuro stared at the scene. 'What's this? She looks like she's doing well with others...' he frowned.

"Let me check my schedu- Ah! Himuro-chan?" You saw Himuro standing and you smiled at him and he did too, not just a poure as he normally does.

"Ah you're here too Himuro?" Okamura asked and Fukui turned to him as well.

"Yes, I was looking for (l/n) I was going to ask her about our class project." Himuro walked to hem smiling as he shyly sscratched the back of his neck, both his eyes are covered by his bangs and you cannot even read his expression, but you noticed te slight frown at the corner of his mouth.

"Ah, good timing." Fukui stood up, "We were just heading back too, you can go and walk her to the station too." Fukui said, placing a hand on your shoulder.

Himuro watched intently as Fukui pats your shoulder like he knows you personally.

"Ah, you don't have to, I can manage." You smiled at Fukui.

"Then (l/n), until then." Fukui said lastly.

"Yes, okay senpai." You responded with a nod and a smile. Himuro pulled you away from Fukui- but he made sure it doesn't look like that.

"You guys going somewhere?" Himuro asked with a smile.

"Kamakura Museum in Kanagawa." Fukui answered. "It's a nice place. (L/n) is quite interested in coming there. So I decided to take her there- we both share the same interest."

"I see." And you looked up to see Himuro's face.

The four of you left the library together when you decided you got the correct book that you needed. Fukui and Okamura then decided to go the other way leaving you and Himuro on your own.

"What was your question about again, Himuro-chan?" You asked while he walks you to the bus stop. But he didn't answer, he didn't even look at you. You knew immediately that he’s a little irritated at you.

"Hey!" You grabbed his sleeves. "Did I do something to offend you?" You asked. Himuro stopped walking making you collide to his back and you looked up at him when he turned and gave you a cold glare.

Seeing the look on his face, you immediately let go of his sleeve.

"If you don't know, then you probably haven't." Himuro answered.

"I-" you swallowed the lump forming on your throat. You knew you didn't do anything to offend him but...

"I'm sorry." You apologized silently, unsure if you really should or not- but you did so anyway.

"You know, I don't like people who are nice to everybody." He said and you looked at him with a confused look.

"Eh?"

"You said you liked me...and you also like fascinating people- could it be that anyone else fine with you?" You blinked at him and you tried to comprehend his words. "...sorry." Himuro looked away and started walking back to the other direction "...you can go on your own from here, right." It wasn't a question and you know that. You watched as Himuro leave you on your own.

You were in shock when he left you there on your own; you didn't even noticed that the bus had stopped and go already.

'Fuck...what just happened?' You said to yourself, your hand fisted on both your side.

"Fine with anyone else?" You watched as his back disappeared in sight. "Are you taking me lightly?"

'So much for being open to you, Himuro.' You said before you turned back and continued your track. It was almost seven when the next bus came. You just sat there at the bus stop until the bus arrived.

'And I really liked you too...but I guess... I'll end up like one of those girls who flock around you soon...' you clicked your tongue in irritation. 'I shouldn't have helped him back there with Yumi and the rest of the girls...it opened an opportunity to start a conversation with him.'

+HimuroTatsuya+

Himuro covered his eyes with his arm and groaned. It was already late and though there's no practice tomorrow, he promised Murasakibara that he'll meet him and go with him to thr newly opened cafe that sells good cake...

But he cannot sleep. He keeps remembering the confused look on your eyes earlier when he left you at the cormer of the bus stop.

'She said 'eh?'..and I was expecting her to say that the only one she nice to is me...' Himuro sighed. 'And I told her that she's fone with anyone else...ugh' Himuro groaned again, he was guilty- he left you on your own too.

He regret that he let his jealousy head of his action.

</i>'Jealousy?'</i> He sat up immediately and sighed. 'Jealousy.'

Fukui's hand came to his thoughts...Fukui's hand on your shoulder.

"I'll have to talk to her tomorrow to apologize for my actions." Himuro decided and took his phone.

+HimuroTatsuya+

Murasakibara walked past the cafe and saw you sitting inside. So ehpphe decided to go inside,

"(L/n)-chin," he greeted as he took a bite of the cake he got, and sat in front of you. "Can I sit with you?"

"A, Murasakibara-kun?" You closed your book and looked up at the tall man. "You're here..." you noted. "Yea, sure."

"I was going to meet Muro-chin, but he's late- he said he was going to talk to someone important- so he'll be late, and I saw you..."
Your eyes narrowed a little from the mention of the name.

"Ah, sou." You answered ang you looked away as you leaned back and took a sip of the coffee in front of you.

"Muro-chin doesn't act like himself." He said.

"Mm.." you didn't looked at him, and let him continue.

"I said, Muro-chin doesn't act like himself!" Murasakibara repeated.

"So? Does that have anything to do with me?" You asked the younger one.

"You're the reason." He accused.

"Yea...sure. I don't think I did somethibg to offend him."

"Perobably, but its still because of you." Murasakibara accused.

"Whatever." You grumbled, a little irritated at the titans actions.

"Are you going to watch the volleyball match today?" He randomly asked.

"No, it was cancelled, that's why I decided to just wonder around."

"Hmm..." Murasakibara watched you lazily as he continued eating his cake. "(L/n)-chin, let's go to the festival at the Shrine nearby, I heard that they have some cotton candies there."

You looked up at the boy amd frowned,

"Can't you go on your own?" You asked.

"But its more fun of you're with someone." He said and waited for your answer.

'This is why people think anyone is fine with you.' You said to yourself.

"No-" before you could finish you word, Murasakibara grabbed you and pulled you out of the cafe. "-wait!"

"I'll buy you one too if you want."

"I dont need one."

"You only say that now, but you'll like it too." Murasakibara said, you sighed when you realize that there's no escape with Murasakibara.

+HimuroTatsuya+

Himuro dashed to the volleyball court where the match was set to be- but when he got there, there was no one there watching.

"It was cancelled." Himuro heard a voice- whrn he turned it wasone of your friends. "What are you still doing here, Himuro?"

"Ah, (f1 l/n)! Do you know where (l/n) lives?" He asked.

"(Name)-chan?"  Himuro nodded. And the girl randomly gave him your address. "Ah, by the way Himuro, weren't you with her yesterday? What time did you two left the school?"

"Past 5." He answered, remembering it clearly that he heard the bus left when he turned the corner.

"I see." She said, "she probably wondered around the city yesterday, because she told me she just got into a bus and it was already 7...really that girl." Your friend tsked and looked over her shoulder when their coach called her. "Ah, coach is calling me! Bye!" She dashed back to where her team was.

Thinking, Himuro felt a little worried when he heard that you didn't get home in time. What if something happened to you- Himuro sent an email to Murasakibara that he won't makr it in time that he should just go to the cafe first and he'll just come by later.

He'll have you find you first.

And so, he went to your place where he met your mother and he was told that you went outside to watch a match and won't probably home until evening.

Himuro dialed your number, he decided he needed to know where you are instead so that he can meet you...but you weren't answering his calls.

+HimuroTatsuya+

"(L/n)-chin." Murasakibra dragged you around to all the booths that was available that noon- there were less people because it was early, and Murasakibara prefered that. Since Himuro ditched him, he decided to borrow you in exchange- it wasn't like Himuro is looking for you anyway...right?

Himuro sighed and dialed Murasakibara- he needed to apologize now. He wasn't able to make it to their meetign place earlier, and he is still looking for you.

"Ah, Muro-chin." Murasakibara answered his phone- it was on his pocket - he was waiting for his ice cream while having his cotton candy.

"Atsushi- sorry for today- I was--"

"It's no problem, Muro-chin. I got (l/n)-chin to go with me."

"(L/N)?"

"Yes, I saw her lazing around so I got her to accompany me- did you finish your business earlier? Coz (l/n)-chin is cranky, I don't like to be with a cranky."

"A-ah! Gomen, Atsushi. Where are you again? I'll be there in a moment." Himuro ended the call.

Murasakibara looked at his phone, after he told Himuro where he is he immediately hang-up.

"Stupid Muro-chin."

"Here you go, Murasakibara-kun. Your ice cream." You handed the ice cream to Murasakibara while you lick your own on your other hand.

"Thank you (l/n)-chin." And you sat down beside him and started relaxing. "Are you tired?" He asked.

"Yes!" You answered. He finally asked. "You dragged me here, I was not prepared mentally to be dragged like that."

"Then you can rest." Was Murasakibara's answer.

"That's what I'm doing now."

"Why are you so cranky?"

"I am not. I'm just not used to these kind of things anymore---walking around and all. Since I started highschool, I usually at my friend's place, watch movies and such. Walking at a crowded streets are rarely done."

"But it's fun right?"

"still tiring."

"I'll tell Muro-chin to take you out so that you'll get used to it again?"

"You don't have to ask him that- I don't need him to do that."

"But Muro-chin is your frien-"

"Atsushi." Himuro's warning tone interrupted him; both of you looked up at the blank look of Himuro's face.

"Ah, your partner's here." You looked away with a sigh, "guess i can go home now." You stood up and ready yourself to go, but Himuro grabbed your hand.

"Wait- let's ...Can we talk?" Himuro said to you and Murasakibara just watched the two of you.

"For?"

"For yesterday." He sighed. "Atsushi, we're going ahead." Himuro turned to the eating boy.

"Aa. No problem Muro-chin." He answered. "I can go on my own from here." Murasakibara said as he watched Himuro drag you out of the crowd to the station.

"Hey! where are we going?" You called.

"Place where we can talk." He answered.

"We can talk here." You stopped Himuro.

"There's too many people here." He mentiones.

"What do you want to talk about, anyway. Can't we just leave the yesterday's issue? I really wanted to be your friend, but then it seems like you don't want to be though- and you don't like it when I talk to your friends too--- I'll just step out of your way."

"No, wait- not like that." Himuro led you up to the bus that stopped in front of the two of you- he was quiet the whole 10 minutes ride to the next stop where Himuro's apartment was.

He led you up to his place and opened the door for you.

"Come in." He said and you did after a short moment of thinking. You took of your jacket and scarf placing it on the rack at the front door.

You stepped and quietly examined his place. You sat down at the couch and waited for Himuro to appear from the kitchen with a cup of juice and snacks.

"Listen, about yesterday." He started, you waited for him to finish. "I'm sorry- I just-- I didn't like it that you were planning stuffs with Fukui-san."

"It’s not like that really- he just told me that he could accompany me when I decided to visit the place- he said he's been there before and doesn't mind coming back there again. I didn't say I'd go though. I told him I'll think about it. Its a long 8 hours of travel from here. It’s at Kanagawa."

"I understad that- I'm sorry." Himuro said sighing, "I didn't like it when you talk to other guys like that- I was used to the you who were reserved and not talking to others except from me- I was scared that you'll find them entertaining." Himuro confessed, "and get bored of me."

"Didn't I tell you that I find you fascinating?" You said to him, surprising him with your words, then you sighed, "I wanted to be your friend because I find you interesting most of the time- especially when you gave the girls fake smile and all- and I like your smile too; I wasn't expecting that we'll reach the point that we'll argue over such small issue like this. Its not like we're partners to argue over some plans like that..." you chuckled at the thought that are playing on your mind, "...you're not in relationship with Fukui-senpai right?" You suddenly asked, waiting for his reaction. And Himuro twitched.

"What?"

"Because you got irritated with me planning stuffs with him." You chuckled.

"No! I mean no." Himuro sighed, are you slow or are you just purposely pushing him to his limit? "Its not like that."

"Whatever the reson, I will not steal your fukubuchou from you." You ended. "I only liked him because we share the same interest."  You chuckled.

"You like him too, huh?" Himuro looked at you. 'What the heck?'

Himuro leaned closer to you.

"You said you like me right?" He asked leaning closer, invading your personal space, making your face turn red.

"Y-yes, I did."

"Do you know what kind of like is it?" He asked, leaning more closer, making you lean back to the couch.

"No- I dont know-"

"You see, this like of yours towards me is bothering me." He whispered, his eyes boring into yours with clean seriousness.

"I-I’m sorry- I didn't mean to bother you with-" Himuro smiled at your flushed face and he suddenly wrapped his arms around you and pulled you closer to him. "Wha- Himuro!?"

"What if I started dating your friend...what was her name again-- (f1 l/n)?" He asked, and you suddenly froze at the thought.

"Heh~ you reacted." He commented, pulling away slightly "You don't want that. I can read from your actions." Himuro stated to your face and you looked away. "Why is that?" He asked you, his hand gently making you look at him again.

"I...don't know- but if you like--" your voice was shaking, and Himuro's wasn't making it easier for you by staring.

"But if I like...what?" He asked.

"I- I can help you with Yumi-chan" you whispered. It was against your will to be honest, thinking of him and your bestfriend together...now that he made you think of it...you didn't like it, but your words came out diffrently—because if he really likes Yumi...then..

Himuro mentally frowned at your answer.

'I don't know...but you fill me up with a feeling of superiority...then sometimes you make it look like I'm just assuming things...' Himuro said to himself, 'you told me you like me- that you like my smile and the way I give the other girls a fake one...then you flinched when I said that I'd date your friend- but you offered your help...which is it really? Are you playing safe- or are you just playing with me?'

Himuro sighed, he leaned down closer and kissed your lips as he held your face in place- he noted that your yes widened in surprise, but he didn't pull way immediately, he let his lips linger closer to yours for a short moment after he kissed you- he studied your eyes as they shakily study his own.

"Do your think you can give me an answer now- which like is it?" He asked.

You felt your heart beat harder and faster- you thought it was going to come out of your chest. Your face is red and you just don't know what to say.- instead you swallowed carefully and your eyes glanced at his lips...you weren't new in this kind of things--you had a boyfriend once before...

"I...do-" Himuro sighed, he knew what your respond will be and he didn't like it- he knew you're just making it hard for him--playing safe.

"Let's try another." He announced and this time he pushed you down on the couch and pressed his lips to your own, making you gasp at the sudden roughness- but you seemed like you didn't mind it at all so he continued and he asked for an entrance and you obligued, wrapping your arms around his neck to pull him closer. Your toungues clashed and danced inside; you pushed him a little when ypu felt the need the breathe and he was as fascinated to you as you are to him. Both of you panted when you parted.

The feeling Himuro felt was intense. He just can't stop himself anymore- he's under your spell.

"Haa...Himuro, I-"

"(L/n), I like you- I like you very much. And I was jealous of Fukui-san that is why I got a little out of hand yesterday..." Himuro said interrupting you; you studied the look on his eyes and he was serious and you know it, you've been watching him most of the time...

You felt his head leaned down on your chest- waiting for your answer. You were still panting and Himuro listened to your eratic heart beat waiting for your answer.

"I'm very sorry." He added.

"Please be my girlfriend." He murmured.

"It will come out that I'm an easy to get person if I give you my answer right now, right?"

"That- does that matter?"

"Well, to me yes." You answered, "if we started going out as boyfriends and girlfrieds...people will start to think about something like that. Especially if it is you."

"Then we'll keep it a secret until you're ready." Himuro answered. "You got no problem with that right? We'll tell them afterwards."

"...hmmm.." you didn't answer, you just let your thoughts linger for another minute or two. Himuro looked up at you and waited for your answer, but there was none.

"You're not answering, I'll take that as a yes." He announced and reached up to your face to give you another passionate kiss that left you breathless once again.

Maybe it wasn't that bad at all- to agree and be in relationship with Himuro right? You said to yourself as you and Himuro cuddled together that lazy afternoon.

'Let's see if this 'like' is that type of 'like' . You said to your self.

"So how did the two of you become close together?" Himuro asked as he plays with a strand of yor hair while you were reading a book and sitting in-between Himuro's legs- he just stayed there and wrapped his arms around your waist, his chin on top of your shoulder.

"And how come the two of you decided to go without telling me?"

"It just happened. He asked me about my interest towards literature and then he offered."

"Hmmm..." Himuro went silent, "Well, I wont let you go there with him." He said.

"Eh?"

"Not unless I go with you guys. I'm your boyfriend after all." He added.

"O-okay." Then you felt Himuro nuzzle his face on your neck.

"But before that, we go to the fireworks festival first." He said.

"Fireworks festival?"

"Mm. Just the two of us." He murmured.

"Okay. I'm good with that." You answered smiling, then Himuro kissed you.

"Great. I can't wait." Himuro smiled as he pulled away.

Starting this day, Himuro will make sure that the only person you'll be liking is him. And that make sure that you will like him the way he likes you.

...what he doesn't know is that he doesn't have to do that. You have already fallen for him and his fascinating smile and the fake one that comes with that.

-EnD-
