Y/n got to stay with miss Odayaka and she was sleeping in his son's old room, she always has sleeping clothes at her house so she changed into them quickly. She has a simple white vest on with some black shorts on and some frilly white socks. Outside was covered in darkness and she bets Musume and him were having the time off their life without her there. She pulled the covers over her more, sinking her face into it's warmth; she wishes life was a whole lot easier.

She looked out the window and a sudden thud against it by a figure covered in darkness scared the life out of her. She sprung out of bed ready to tell miss Odayaka till she got a message from weird boy (Ayato).

Weird boy I'm outside your neighbour's window

Weird boy Could you let me in? It's freezing out her and I might get hypothermia

Weird boy Well hurry up it's hard to text with one hand and hold on

Weird boy I'd like if you got a move on :)

Y/n chucked her phone on her bed and quickly unlocked the window with a huge heave, she pulls Ayato in with great strength. He had on a grey hoodie with dark grey trousers along with a black baseball cap and converses, "Take your shoes off, I don't want miss Odayaka's house getting dirty. Follow me, but be quiet." Y/n whispers, Ayato immediately takes his shoes off and carries them in one hand. Y/n takes his sleeve and they quietly tiptoe to the bathroom, which looks extremely old fashioned and the wallpaper makes it even more ancient.

She turns the tap on, grabbing his finger and placing it under the warm water, electricity run throughout his body at her touch. It's like a spark alights whenever they touch, "Once your fingers warm up you can tell me how you found me and why you're up so late, coming over to me anyways." Y/n let's go off his hand, letting him do the work for himself, afterall no one asked him to come out n the freezing cold with no gloves.

Ayato's cheeks get warm, she looks cute when she's angry.

He needs to stop thinking that way, Y/n has a point. Why is he out here?

He glances at her cheek, noticing a bruise slowly forming on her face, that's right he saw what happened. He remembers, stabbing his key into her father's tires and then he went back into a bush to observe what would happen next. Fatigue must of overtaken him and he fell asleep, only waking up when he saw Y/n going to miss Odayaka's house. What's a good lie to get Y/n off his back? "I wanted to apologies for... Getting you wrapped into my mess with Taeko. I shouldn't of done it and wanted to make it up to you and I saw you... Go into Miss Odayaka's house." Ayato answers, that should be convincing enough.

"I went into her house hours ago, what the hell have you been doing all of that time?" Y/n pushes on.

Why did she have to be so resilient.

"Did you get hurt? I can see a bruise on your cheek, you can talk to me, Y/n." He diverts the conversation, Y/n looks away, opening the bathroom door and going back to the room she was originally in to sit on the bed. Ayato sat on the floor in front of her waiting to speak, "I'll tell you later... C'mon Ayato, no one waits outside someone's house for so long just to apologies. You could have just texted me." She says, looking down at him. Why did he have to be such a bad liar? "I wanted to go out with you?" He phrases it like it's a question and the wording is off, Y/n raises her eyebrow.

"I mean... Like, cycle around town?" Ayato blurts out, it wasn't intentional and he hoped Y/n would say no but being the Y/n he knows she smiles at the idea. "I would like that, I have to change so out." Y/n commands, Ayato wastes no time heading back into the bathroom, not wanting to be out in the open in the hallway. He heard a door opening and it was way to close than Y/n's so he pulled away the shower curtains, closing it and lying down flat in the bathtub. "Where are my pills?" Miss Odayaka says, rummaging through her cabinet. "Here it is." Y/n enters the room handing it to her. "You are wonderful, head to bed now dear." Miss Odayaka says with a cheery tone, she exits the room as well, heading back to her own.

Ayato silently exits the bathroom and he notices the floral pattern on Y/n's beige jacket, holding a pair of white slip on shoes, a vest and coffee brown coloured trousers, "Follow me." Y/n leads the way, carefully avoiding the creaky spots on the staircase with Ayato following behind, luckily the backdoor is left open and they leave quite easy.

"Well, what's your plan now?" Y/n asks, Ayato pulls up his bike off the pavement, he throws himself onto the bike, placing a foot on the pedal and one on the back. "You can have the seat, Y/n." He grins, Y/n obliges and sits on the seat, "Hold on." He says. "Huh-" He sets of and Y/n wraps her around him in an attempt to not fall of the bike, the cool breeze travels through her hair and she feels so relaxed. Relaxed enough to forget he was waiting outside miss Odayaka's house for several hours, "We can cycle around for a bit and stop at a park." Ayato begins, Y/n nods, he can feel her nodding since the side of her face is pressed into his back as she's clinging onto him so tightly. When she's scared she tends to shy away more and he finds it adorable.

They cycle around to new parts of town they've both never seen before, thankfully they haven't gotten lost. They walk past a hair salon that's supposed to be closed due to how late it is but nonetheless a woman pops out and stops the pair, "My, my, my kindred spirit's child, hello there Ayato. How's your mother doing?" The hairdresser smiles, Ayato responds quickly not liking the fact they were interupted.

"She's fine thank you ma'am, she's gone to America for a while with my dad." Ayato responds, which she nods to before looking over to Y/n. More specifically, she's looking at her hair, "That looks like it could use a cut, wouldn't want anyone pulling it or anything..." The hairdresser beams, with her lips curling and a dark underlying tone in her voice, covered by that sickly sweet tone. "I'm sure she'll be fine, we have to go now. I'll tell my mother you said hi." Ayato replies, Y/n nods and they leave shortly after hearing to a park near her house.

They are seated on swing sets, chatting away till the conversation off her bruise erupts. She doesn't want Ayato to think off her differently but she's tired off covering for him anyways, "Me and my dad's relationship isn't the greatest, we fight a lot and it ends with me getting sent to my room or a slap. It's how it's always been and it probably won't change, he doesn't like me because he thinks I'm the reason my mother died." Y/n admits, she feels a light weight leave her chest and she feels lighter. "I'm sorry you went through that Y/n, I don't want you to feel alone in your situation. I'll gladly cycle over to you to help the best I can." Ayato replies, Y/n looks at him with a smile. "Thank you, for this little night outing too." Y/n answers, she's happy she's got a friend like him.

The next day, in the morning, she sees miss Odayaka sitting at a round table ; she's reading the newspaper and Y/n sits at the opposite end to her, "How was it last night?" She asks, placing her paper down and staring into Y/n's eyes. "How was what? Sleeping? Relatively alright." She responds smoothly, her expression never faltering. "Well, I disagree. Who do you think left the back door open for you, Y/n?" She questions, leaning forward. "I wouldn't know since I never left my room." Y/n says swiftly.

"If only that were true, I know about your trip with that boy but I don't mind he seems nice, he even did an errand for me when I saw him. Last week I think?" Miss Odayaka replies, Y/n's glad she isn't mad but hold on Ayato was here before?

He needs to get a life.

Y/n arrives to school and a camera is shoved into her hand.

The king off drama was here and his presence has to be know, he walked up Ackademi's path as if he was a king, strutting and flashing his purple hair. His hair was a ponytail in a drill with two strands of hair at the side of his face in a twirl that bounced as he walked. His outfit consisted of a long red cape on the side.

He was the drama club leader and his servants followed behind him, he liked the popularity and expected the photography club to come take pictures of him to posing around school. His plan was to become the most popular boy in school, as he's announced multiple times. Y/n and the other members where forced to take pictures of him as he walked and Y/n apparently took the best pictures getting his good angle. Therefore, she was titled the task as being his personal assistant for the day. Woohoo...

The only reason she took some photos were because of Kokona, for some reason he was her idol. Even though, he was a total snob, thinking people should kiss the floor he's walked on. "Our newest club member, Kokona doesn't seem to realize how things work around here. She actually thinks she can steal MY hairstyle! It doesn't matter if she had this hairstyle before me! Now that I'm using it, it's officially MINE!" He stomps his foot against the floor when he says that and Y/n recalls staring at him blankly.

" There's only enough room for ONE set of purple drills in THIS school! I'm not going to discuss this with her directly; such matters are beneath me. Make yourself useful and go have a word with her. Tell her that she needs to do something ORIGINAL with her hair...or else." Kizano spat, he turned away from her so fast that his cape flapped about and then she got distracted so she kinda forgot to tell Kokona about it...

He's snobby, haughty, egotistical, arrogant, and conceited yet his handsomeness and his ability to captivate an audience were enough to reel Taeko and Kokona into his trap. Kokna even changed her hair so she could look like him but Kizano believes she's trying to impersonate him. He's hated her guts for it and constantly asks her to change it and Y/n always tells her not to, just to spite him.

The drama club has a dark purple floor with a light purple wall. There is a large nature backdrop with red curtains to the side of it and a red mat in front. At the back of the room, there are six masks suspended on a wooden board. She was currently in the drama club with her Sakiou corp camera around her neck, watching him take various poses with a nature backdrop.

"Kizano has an announcement!" His assistant shouts, getting everyone's attention so they are all looking at Kizano. His assistant starts up the fan and Y/n throws a basket off fallen cherry blossom in front the fan, making it rain petals onto him.

"The play we are doing this week is the one and only Romeo and Juilet! A tale as old as time and a romance that lasts forever. No one could play this role better than me. I only share the stage with the best! And my co-star will me Taeko Yamada!" Kizano announces with his hand on his chest and a rose in his other hand.

"I thought you said I had a chance for a big role?" Kokona asks, and looks down too afraid to look him in the eyes.

"You can't be serious! I was joking darling! Times have changed, darling and you haven't changed MY hairstyle! Your lucky I'm kind enough to people like you and you still get a part." Kizano blatantly dismissing her in front of everyone.

"What part did I ge-"

"A tree. Be grateful. Now, camera woman move to the left to get my good side, and kokona move out of my way and preferably out the club." Kizano poses again and Y/n glares at him but takes another picture, "And another thing-" Kizano is interrupted by his assistant playing the trumpet to catch everyone's attention before he started talking, "You already messed up! Put that trumpet down, you incompetent-" Kizano pauses, coughing to fill in the silence and straightens his posture with a fake smile before continuing.

"This is for all the photography club members, except Y/n. This won't do! This won't do at ALL! These photos are rancid, garbage! They are literally made for the streets! First, I need to determine whether you are blind or stupid. How many fingers am I holding up?" Kizano asks rhetorically, giving the photography club zero time to answer, "Yes, yes, that's correct. Now that we've established you aren't blind, we can only reach the conclusion that you are STUPID. If you all can't get better st taking a measly photo then leave...LEAVE!!"

"Oh, hey Yato." Y/n yawns, dropping her camera to hang round her neck, "Did you hear Taeko is taking part in the-" Y/n is rudely cut off by Kizano, finishing his shouting at the photography club. He gets two of his club members to carry him off the table he was stood on to make his announcement then roll out a red carpet for him to stand on.

"Photography girl, come back I need a few more pictures of me from this angle!" Kizano claps his hands, Y/n sighs and waves Ayato goodbye. Who does this guy think he is?

Ayato walks down the hallway and reads one of the fliers and it reads -Romeo and Juilet played by Kizano and Taeko Yamada.

He couldn't let that happen.

His fingers balled into a fist, and he felt something, deep down turn into a furry raging red and this newfound emotion was being fueled by Kizano.

Y/n couldn't help but notice four masks on the wall, she swore there were five before and she did see someone with a mask on. But, who?

Y/n was in the gym, taking more photos while being forced to follow Kizano around like a puppy and Kokona had to pull the majority of the chairs into the gym to get ready in advanced.

"You know, darling, you are a much better fit than Kokona, you don't talk as much, you listen. Unlike some people and you most certainly don't copy me! Judging by your plain style." Kizano lectured, and Y/n had to bite her tongue to not say anything back or Kokona would end her for getting kicked out the club despite how little he cares for her.

"You do have some good things about you but unfortunately I already have a Juilet. So, for the meantime you will be accompanying me since you're somewhat competent." Kizano praises in his own way and she simply nods -which he applauds to- and continues walking around the gym while telling her all about his bright vision he has of his show. He informs her about his grand dream off becoming a famous actor that will become his legacy and how he's feeling kind enough to consider taking her out somewhere with him.

Some people came to watch rehearsals including Ayato, he sat in the fourth row behind the drama club members and his eyes spotted Y/n before Taeko. Despite, Y/n not wearing a flowing dress like Taeko, the spotlight was accidentally shone onto her making her shield her eyes. He couldn't help but gaze at Y/n, even when she had to try on some off the costumes, her outline reminded her off the person in his dream.

Kizano shouted at the people doing the atmosphere and told everyone to get back to their places to start again, since they were ruining things.

He told everyone to stop and to sit in the seating area, while he was on stage and started saying, "Sometimes, I wish that everyone was perfect and brilliant like I am! Unfortunately, that's not possible. And I have to fix all your errors, it's absolutely ridiculous! Ridiculous I tell you!" Kizano complains, everyone is so tired off him and they can't wait till rehearsals are over.

"If you can not complete a single task, spare me the drama and time! Leave my club, I don't have time for messing about because the crowds gaze won't be on me it will be on your failure!" Kizano takes a deep breath, he closes his eyes, signalling for Y/n to apply more powdered make-up onto his face before he continued, "Now, let's start this again and while your performing or doing atmosphere, just think what would Kizano do? He most certainly wouldn't mess things up, now get a move on! Chop. Chop."

The photography club had to work on placing the pictures all over school to advertise the show and get people to come and watch it.

Y/n had placed her camera down on a seat, and Ayato picked it up, "Y/n." He spoke, with the intention of getting her attention, once she turned around and saw the camera in his hand, she did two peace signs with a wide smile.

Click.

The drama clubs performance did improve after his unnecessary speech but Taeko did not, as she's not use to being in spotlight and she was sweating, forgetting her lines and picking her nails to distract herself from it all. She has never stood center stage in all her life and having eyes watching her every move. It made her stutter through all her lines, and grab at her dress nervously. Till she decided to sneak off stage.

"Taeko? There you are, I can tell your nervous and if you are that's okay. It's normal, if you really don't want to do this, don't let Kizano force you or pressure you to. Remember, to stay strong...And, yeah, try think of this as one of your books. Except your a character in the book and your reading the lines and memorizing them and feeling what your characters feeling, okay?" Y/n reassured her.

"T-thanks, I'm just not use to stuff like this..." Taeko spoke truthfully, and she looked down at the beautiful dress she was in.

"You look amazing in the dress, and I know you'll do an amazing-"

"Where is Juliet? What is Romeo without her? Where has she gone someone find her now!" Kizano directs, Taeko goes to walk on the stage but stops and turns to give Y/n a smile and she responds by giving her a thumbs up.

Things went smoothly after that, except Kizano shouting at Kokona when she tried to wave to Y/n and was told," What tree outside do you see waving to people Kokona, if you can't fullfil the roll of a tree you were never made for the stage, like me!"

Kokona was in a tree costume with the face hole cut into the cardboard box it was made from, it was literally paint, cardboard and painted newspapers scrunched up into balls and painted green for leaves.

"Don't trees kind of wave in the wind-"

"Oh my mistake, everyone stop- Do you feel that? Do you feel or hear wind touching you? No! It isn't windy and your most certainly not directing me! It's best you come off the stage and use these three remaining days to perfect your role, or don't bother showing up at all." Kizano growled, and then snaps his fingers to signal a break for the drama club members.

Kokona sighs, as she sits on the stage and Y/n walks to her with one of her fists tightened, "Here Kokona, a rose pin for good luck." Y/n smiles, gently placing it into her hands, Kokona clips it on and she takes off her costume.

"Thank you, Y/n I'm sorry, things have been a bit distant between us but did you get the message I sent?" Kokona asks, hopping down from the stage, Y/n nods but Kokona doesn't notice. The last person in the audience, Ayato, staring her down and tilting his head slightly. Why is he so possessive over Y/n? Maybe, it's a misunderstanding, yeah... Misunderstanding.

Her eyes move from his and she nervously laughs at nothing, Y/n senses this and grabs her hand and runs out the gym with her, "Now, time for food!" Y/n beams and Kokona smiles.

Ayato stares at his phone screen.

Info-chan Another week, another rival, you know exactly how to take care of Kizano.
