a/n : this took me sooo long. tell me which one was ur fav <3

• sakura haruka

— love at first sight.

it was another normal day. sakura was walking towards cafe pothos to get breakfast before school as always. everything was the same as every other day.

everything— except when he entered pothos, kotoha didn’t greet him like everyday. no— it was someone else. someone who greeted him with a smile so bright, he forgot how to breathe. someone with voice so soft, he wanted to hear it forever. someone with eyes so pretty, he couldn’t look away.

“are you okay?” you asked seeing as he was frozen on the spot for good five minutes now.

sakura snapped out of his daze at the sound of your voice. he realised what just happened and his face flushed bright red as he stuttered his way to his breakfast.

taking his seat he couldn’t help but glance at you as you made him a sandwich. today wasn’t a normal day, today was the day sakura realised he would enjoy coming to pothos a bit more than usual.

• suo hayato

— fake dating/flirting.

you pulled suo by his wrist, walking somewhere secluded. he had just pulled the ‘tucking your hair behind your ear’ move in front of his friends and it made you realise it had to stop.

“aren’t you in a hurry?” he said giving his usual irritating smile.

when you were sure, you were far away from the group you dropped his hand and turned to him with s stern expression. today, you were going to put an end to it.

“this needs to stop.” you declared with a firm voice.

suo just tilted his head, confused. “what do you mean?”

you looked at him in disbelief. was he being for real?

“the flirting, suo.”

“why? i know you like it.” he said his annoying smirk returning back to his face.

you sighed, “that’s the problem.” you were looking at the ground now, feeling too flustered to look at him. “it’s getting real.”

suo placed his hand under your chin, lifting it to make you meet his eyes. he didn’t have that annoying smirk anymore, it was more of a genuine smile.

“it was always real.”

• nerei akihiko

— oblivious idiot.

it’s been a year since you met nerei, 11 months since you became friends, 6 months since you realised you were absolutely in love with him and 5 months since you have been dropping hints.

longing stares, lingering touches, frequent texting, canceling plans for him. you have done it all but that oblivious fool still doesn’t get it.

you sighed as you stared at your food not really in the mood to eat. nerei stopped writing in his notebook and looked at you with concerned eyes. “what’s wrong?”

you shook your head, even if you told him what was troubling you, he still wouldn’t get it. “nothing.”

now, nerei completely abandoned his notebook and asked. “it’s not nothing. i can see that.” he tilted his head. he didn’t understand why you were lying to him you told each other everything. well— almost.

suo noticed the atmosphere and took things in his own hands, even a blind person could see how pathetically you were in love with nerei.

“why don’t you tell him already?” his question was directed at you but everyone at the table heard it.

tired, you turned to look at suo, “he wouldn’t get it.”

nerei was now confused beyond hell, “what are you two talking about?”

suo gave you a pointed to look and you turned to nerei to prove your point. “i like you, nerei.” you said, a glint on hope in your eyes.

nerei took a second before smiling and responding, “i like you too.” he nodded proudly.

the hope was replaced with dissapointment once again as you turned to see suo. “see?”

suo laughed at your situation to which you gave him a glare but he didn’t budge. he turned to nerei and spoke right in his face. “she means she likes you, more than friends.”

“like best friends—”

frustrated, you slammed your cutlery on the table, making him flinch and move back a little. “NO— nerei. not as friends or as BEST friends. i am in love with your stupid ass and have been for the past 6 months. you are so stupid you still don’t get it.”

you took a deep breath to calm yourself before sitting down again. everyone in the cafe was looking at nerei now, who was sitting there like a statue still processing your words.

when his brain finally started working, his whole face flushed and he looked at you in utter disbelief.

“WHAT?”

• kiryu mitsuki

— hero saves the damsel.

“you don’t have to be shy, baby.” the ugly one said. you don’t know where he got the confidence from because he looked like someone had just taken a shit on his face.

few minuted ago, a group of guys approached you when you were minding your own business. if it wasn’t creepy enough, one of them approached you to hold your wrist but you swatted his hand away, leading him to saying that.

“i am not shy. i just don’t like you.” you said backing a little. you knew when to stand your ground, if you started giving in to guys like these, rest of the life would be a big nightmare.

he forcefully grabbed your wrist and started dragging you with him. his friend group followed as they laughed and smirked about god knows what.

“hey— let me go! where are you taking—” before you could even finish your sentence your wrist was freed from the monstrous hold as the guy laid on the ground writhing in pain.

it happened in the blink of an eye. all of the guys were on ground groaning and whimpering in pain.

still processing the situation you searched around for the reason when your eyes landed on a pink haired guy. standing in the middle, offering you the most gentle smile you have ever seen.

he walked towards you slowly, this time you didn’t back away. you didn’t feel the need to.

he took your wrist, same one the douche from before was holding.

“it might bruise.” he said examining your wrist.

his hold was gentle, soft and caring. total opposite to what you experienced a few minutes ago. as he looked at your wrist with worry in his eyes, you knew you were done for.

• tsugeura taiga

— childhood friends to lovers.

you were in deep shit.

you and tsugeura have been friends for god knows how long. your mothers were best friends, so you practically grew up with tsugeura in your house.

you have always been best friends. always— so you don’t know when or why it turned into something more from your side.

you realised it when you missed his presence a little more than a friend is supposed to, when you were sad and wished he was here to comfort you, when you laughed at his jokes even though they were awful.

yeah, you were in deep shit.

“what’cha zoning out for?” taiga asked waving a hand in front of your face.

you were sitting on the swings with taiga when you returned to your senses. “sorry— you were saying?”

taiga looked at you for few seconds as if analysing you and hummed. “you zone out a lot these days.”

“exam stress.” you quickly made up an excuse because how could you tell him the truth. you, his best friend was in love with him.

taiga raised an eyebrow, not convinced by your reason. of course he wouldn’t be, he had known you for practically forever.

“what’s on yer mind?” he asked as he stopped swinging.

you gave your swing a little momentum before dropping the question. “taiga, what do you think of our relationship?”

you didn’t have the courage to look at him so you stared at the ground waiting for his answer.

“what do ya mean? we’re friends of course.” he gave you a big smile. the same smile that made you forget all your worries.

you laughed at his answer. “you’re right. just friends.”

you were still looking at the ground when he placed his hands on your face to make you look at him.

“but…”

“but?” you asked, shocked by his actions as traces of hope started bubbling in your heart.

“lately, it’s been a little bit more.”

• sugishita kyotaro

— grumpy x sunshine.

class 1-1 of furin high was dead silent for the first time in ages. all of the students were standing with their jaw dropped as they gawked at the scene in front of them.

for the first time in history, sugishita was not sleeping. for the first time in history, sugishita did not look repulsed by somebody’s presence.

what surprised them more was that sugishita sat dangerously close to you as you giggled excitedly about something you were showing him on your phone.

some guy even rubbed his eyes when he thought he saw a ghost of smile on sugishita’s face.

and when you took out your bento, and started feeding him, “kyo, say ahhhh.” and he happly accepted the boiled potato you offered him. everyone was questioning reality.

“e-excuse me?” one of the guy approached you timidly.

“yes?” you turned to him with a smile, stopping your task of feeding the grumpiest guy in the world.

“are you an angel— or perhaps a god?” he asked still in disbelief from all that had happened today.

you laughed at his question. “i am flattered but i’d have to disappoint you. i am just a human, like all of you.”

but the thing was, you weren’t like them not in the slightest. you were the only one that had tamed the beast.

• kaji ren

— forced proximity.

“it’s all your fault.” you mumbled under you breath, pissed at kaji.

“what?!” he asked unsure of what he’d heard was right. it was obviously your fault.

“nothing.” you walked towards the different end of the small store room you were trapped in.

kaji stopped kicking the door as he took he settled down on the other end.

hiragi had tasked you both to find an old record book for him that had you searching for it in this thousand year old store room with an even older gate, that now won’t open.

it was all kaji’s fault. it he wasn’t so busy listening to the song on dangerously high volume he would’ve heard your shouts about the gate closing.

kaji sat on the floor as he sucked on his lollipop, deep in thought. it was all your fault. if you weren’t so invested in that old lamp on the far end of the room you would’ve caught the door before it closed shut.

you both sat in silence for an hour or so, hoping hajime will think something’s wrong and come looking for you.

it was a particularly cold night. one that had you shivering and wrapping your arms around yourself.

kaji noticed this and didn’t think twice before taking off his jacket and offering it you.

you looked at the jacket and then at him. “what?”

“take it.” he shoved it further, face in the other direction. “you need it.”

“i don’t need it. besides you’ll be cold then.” you mumbled the latter line but it was loud enough for him to hear.

he turned to you. “suit yourself.” and started pulling his hand away but you grabbed it before it could go all the way. “fine, i’ll take it. you’re unbelievable sometimes. when someone denies it, they’re only being polite.”

he grumbled out a ‘whatever’ before silence took over again.

you stared at him for a few seconds before asking. “can you give me one?”

he looked at you confused.

“the candy. you’re always eating it, i wanna try it.”

“hah? why? buy your own.” he said before munching on his infuriately.

you scoffed at his behaviour, “rude.”

around 15 minutes later hiragi found you and freed you from the suffocating tension. you returned kaji’s jacket before making your way back.

just as you were about to reach your house, you reached in your pocket for your phone only to find something else there as well.

you took it out to see a lollipop with a pink wrapper. the same one kaji always has in his mouth. you stared at it for a few seconds before mumbling, “what a jerk.”

• togame jo

— second chance.

you still remember the day when jo left you, took the wrong path and changed lion’s head for the worse. he had to do it, he said. there was no other choice, he had to do it for choji.

you hated him for what he did after that. you hated him for how he left you. you hated his face, voice, everything about him.

you hated him yet you still found yourself checking your phone every morning, for that one message. you hated him yet you wished this was all a big nightmare and he was still your boyfriend.

you found out you were lying to yourself when he knocked at your door, all bruised and battered. crying, begging and apologising like he means it.

you didn’t hate him. you could never hate him. specially not when he looked at you with those eyes, a slightest glint of hope behind them. hope that you’d forgive him. hope that you’d take him back.

“you idiot.” you whispered with gloss in your eyes, both of you still standing at your doorstep.

his eyes slightly widened when you spoke to him. god, he missed your voice, your face, everything about you.

he was assured you did too, when you wrapped your arms around him.

• tomiyama choji

— opposites attract.

choji and you couldn’t be more different. he was bright, always laughing, bringing warmth to others. he was like the sun. everyone loved the sun. where as you were quiet and reserved, always alone, minding your own business.

that’s why you were confused as to why he approached you. why he befriended you.

“choji?” your voice was soft as you called out to him.

he turned to you with his big bright eyes and a smile to match. “yeah?”

“why do you talk to me?” you asked.

he tilted his head confused, “what do you mean?”

“i mean— no one else does. they don’t even care i exist. why do you?”

choji was so bright that sometimes his brightness shined on you. just like moon shined with sun’s light. you were afraid that the shine would go away like others and you’d be left in the dark again.

but you worries were casted aside when choji laughed at your question. “why shouldn’t i?”

• umemiya hajime

— best friends brother.

you and kotoha have been best friends for forever. you shared everything. secrets, clothes, amenities. everything. which meant you also shared a certain light haired boy in your life.

umemiya was not like other guys you’d seen. he was friendly despite being the strongest at furin. he did not have the slightest tinge of ego.

umemiya loved three things— his sister, the town including guys at furin and his garden.

only three things, so he definitely wouldn’t have time for someone else in his life. you always thought he did not have the slightest interest in you.

however, you were always left doubting when he would act protective of you, proudly show you his new garden vegetables or shower you with so much gifts just because.

right now, you had the biggest doubt when he dragged you to the rooftop garden to show you his new plants. daffodils— your favourite flower. layers of it blossoming between the vegetables he usually grows.

“what do you think? you like ‘em?”

you teared your gaze from the yellow strips of flower to look at him, mouth agape. “why….”

he sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck at your reaction. “just thought you’d like them.”

yeah, you don’t plant dozen strips of someone’s favourite flowers ‘just because’ specially when you only grow vegetative plants.

it was safe to say, umemiya loved four things— his sister, the town including guys at furin, his garden and you.
