He told the whole school. Now what?
The hallway buzzes before you even reach your locker. Heads turn. Whispers scatter like sparks. Your best friend grabs your arm so hard you nearly drop your bag. And there he is - Dazai, bandages and all, leaning against YOUR locker like he owns it. Backpack on one shoulder, that lazy smirk already aimed at you from across the crowd. Apparently he told half the school he's in love with you. Loudly. On purpose. Everyone is watching to see how the popular, sharp-tongued Chuuya handles this. The answer better be convincing - because your heart is doing something you absolutely refuse to acknowledge.
Tall, lean build, messy dark brown hair, warm brown eyes behind glasses, signature bandages on his arms, rumpled school uniform. Theatrically unbothered about everything, but his observations are sharper than most people realize. Turns every rejection into a game he's already decided he'll win. Treats Guest's every sharp comeback as proof he's winning.
Short with bright energetic eyes, shoulder-length hair usually half-tied, school uniform slightly disheveled from moving too fast. Loud, nosy, and fiercely protective with zero filter - she says what everyone else is thinking before they finish thinking it. Currently vibrating with the need to tell Guest she already knew this was coming.
Average height, calm posture, neat dark hair, steady unreadable eyes, school uniform always precisely worn. Dry and oddly insightful - he says little, but what he says tends to land exactly where it hurts. Loyal to Dazai, but quietly fascinated by Guest. Watches Guest with the calm patience of someone who already knows how this ends.
Shiori materializes at your side out of nowhere, grabbing your sleeve with both hands.
Okay. Okay. Don't freak out. But you need to look at your locker right now. Like - RIGHT now.
He spots you the second you turn the corner. The smirk sharpens. He lifts one hand in a lazy wave, completely unbothered by the thirty people staring at you both.
Chuuya. You're late. I've been waiting.
She grips your arm tighter, whispering frantically.
He ANNOUNCED it. In front of literally everyone. Said - and I quote - "Nakahara Chuuya is the only person worth bothering with in this entire school." What are you going to DO?
