You were doing your homework, quietly on your desk until Y/B banged their hand on the table. Eyes widened, you looked up and glared at Y/B — knowing all too well that they were here to stop you from being productive. Here comes another day, you guess. 

"Can't you stop doing your homework just for once? You still have time for later. I'm bored!" they yelled beside your ear which made you grab the nearest thing to you and smacked them with it on the shoulder.

"Hey! I just want to go out and do something today!" You rolled your eyes at them, putting a piece of paper over your notebook so they wouldn't see what you were working on. It didn't work though. Your best friend always knew when you were writing something interesting.

Y/B then tries to pull your hand but you jerked it off anyway.

"I don't like to forget all my homework so I'm doing it as early as I can," you replied as they only raised an eyebrow at you and scoffed.

"Yeah right, you procrastinate. It wouldn't hurt to say you're actually rushing that deadline today, you know." You sighed. It wasn't due today but considering that you almost missed the deadline before and got scolded by the professor, let's just say you wanted it done more early than you planned.

You then faced your best friend, closing the notebook. "I'm just trying to do my work as early as possible. I don't want to get in trouble again."

They only took a chair and sat down with a bored sigh and pout plastered on their face. "Fine. If you say so."

It didn't take long before they got tired of waiting so they put on the puppy dog eyes to you. But you knew better than to fall for those. You quickly turned your chair around, continuing to work on your homework.

Then, what surprised you is that they did stand up and left without any word. You continued to do your homework until the bell rang. Classes started to begin. Y/B probably went back to their classroom, you thought. But you didn't expect that they would come back right after classes.

As soon as the lecture was done, you felt someone staring at you so you looked around, suspicious. When you didn't see anyone staring at you, you went back to packing your bag. Then you felt a paper thrown to your table, softly.

"What the—?" You turned your gaze around but only saw students flooding right out the door. You picked it up and saw a poem. Curious, you read it.

The protagonist that I once read in a romance book

You're not like them

You're better, you're a whole new level

It's like you've even made your writer speechless

Your eyes are nothing like they can describe

I can see the entire universe in it

As I keep on staring at them

I won't even be bothered if I get lost in them

My heart was cold and empty

It feels like all the light has been taken away.

But with you, I can't seem to help myself

But to succumb to the song of angels around me

Everywhere you are, you take my heart with you

Unfortunately, you may not even notice that you did

You were too focused to point out your imperfections

Yet you never knew how I loved the small things you do

You wondered if that could possibly mean you had an admirer? No, someone probably mistook you for someone else. You put the poem aside, wondering if you should leave it on your table or not.

And there they were, your best friend coming right back with a smile on their face. Though, they weren't alone. They had C/N with them. Of course, at first, you thought they were just there to greet you. So, you smiled and blushed before putting the poem away and making sure to hide it.

Or else you knew Y/B would ruin your chances with your crush by reading the poem.

"Hi, what brings you here?" you said before almost facepalming as Y/B snickered. "I mean, hi, I didn't expect you two to come here right after class."

"Ah, actually, they were the ones who came asking me if I could accompany them," Y/B answered before giving you an amused look. It didn't take long before you feel your cheeks getting hot. No, it can't be. Maybe they were just going to give something you dropped? You can't help but think about it, not saying a word.

When C/N noticed this, they quickly took out the bouquet of food they were holding right behind them. You just gasped, not expecting it before chuckling right after.

"How'd you even know that this would catch my attention?" you tried asking them but they only smirked at you.

"I did say that you weren't like them, didn't I?" That was the only answer they gave to you. Then, it dawned on you and you couldn't help but gasp. The poem. You took it out of your pocket and showed it to C/N. It seems like Y/B didn't really notice since they were just as surprised as you were, eyes focused on the piece of paper.

Your hands were shaking, you weren't expecting this. The cold voice of yours became soft as you stuttered. "T-This was you?"

C/N seems amused at the look on your face and nodded. "You didn't notice me walking past you earlier?"

"Then why'd you have to ask me to accompany you if you're just the same classroom as hers?" Y/B complained and C/N laughed at this.

"Y/N would probably just avoid me. But with you, they wouldn't have any choice but to stay." They did seem to have a point, you thought. But, to be honest, you weren't really expecting them to return the feelings. You could feel yourself being shy all of a sudden.

C/N seems happy and was then waiting for your answer. "Well, would you let me in your heart this time? No avoiding this time."

What's your answer?
