• Semi x Een •

Shiratorizawa was holding their annual cultural festival that week.

And needless to say, as cliche as it may have been, Class 3-2 had decided on having a Maid Cafe'.

I am banging my head on the table when Hichimiya turns around with her packed bag.

"You little asswipe. You think that volunteering to take care of all the written announcements and menus would stop you from wearing one of those frickety costumes? Nope. No is the answer." She has to say, pointing an accusing finger at me.

"Haha, good luck, Hichi." I grin at her, which makes her feel even more helpless. She then squints her eyes further, her finger closing up till it reaches my nose. Shooting me a death glare, and leans close to whisper something.

"Semi Eita will see you in a maid costume, and that is final."

And just like that, full of sass, she passes her arm through the crook of Tendou's elbow, the two of them marching outside like two lunatics.

Wiping the beads of sweat that formed on my face, I stand up, picking up my bookbag. When I turn towards the door, I see that Semi is already at my classroom doorstep, waiting for me.

"Hey, Een." He greets when I skip up to him.

"Hi, Eita," I reply, giving him a smile. He takes a step back and walks ahead, and I silently groan to myself. I wasn't sure if he wasn't in a good mood or not, so I quickly hurry to follow him.

"We don't have club activities today," I say. He nods, letting me know that all clubs were now on hiatus. When we reach the ground floor, Semi turns to face me, instead of going out to the partition to go to the other wing.

"Een," He starts, glancing at his shoes. "Are you going to go to the library now?"

"Uh.... No, why?" I ask, and I can't help but notice him clenching his fists into a tight ball before he looks at me in an irritated manner.

"W-Well. Okay." He mumbles something under his breath, and I raise an eyebrow. It takes me that long to figure out what he was up to.

"So you want to know if I'd go to the library with you?"

"Goddamit, Een. Why are you so clueless?!" He wants to know, as he walks up the staircase. Confused as to why he was going up to the girl's side of the building, I hurry to catch up to him.

"Where are you going?" I call, finally managing to catch up to him when he reaches the fifth floor.

"I came to your floor. We can meet at the library after we change." He says, pointing at me and Hichimiya's dorm room.

I give him a nod, and see that he is fidgeting a little. When I turn to look up at his face, I see that he is looking straight at me as well.

"Eita...?" I tilt my head in confusion, which makes his eyes go wide and look away.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" He hisses.

"Like what?"

"That."

"Define 'that'." I say, placing my hands on my hips. Semi was not making sense anymore, and it was starting to go out of hand.

"That look. I swear to God, Een. Stop it. I don't want to do something you'd hate me for."

"Oh my god, what the hell does 'that' mean?" I cry. Semi shakes his head furiously, taking out his phone. He scrolls through a list on his phone, and I peer over his shoulder to see what he was doing.

The list read 'Vocab by Een', and I had to try my hardest to stifle my laughter when he squints his eyes at me.

"Shut up. I learned a lot from all the times we studied together, okay?" He hisses again, scrolling down until he reached halfway into the list. He then hands me his phone, and I see that he had highlighted a word.

I almost choke on air when I see the word.

'Sensual'.

"Oh my GOD." I cry, shoving the phone back into his arms and stomping into my dorm room.

"Een wait!" He yells before I can close the door. When I turn to face him, his shoulders are rising up and down from laughing so much.

"Now I feel like a huge pervert."

"Well, aren't you one?" I have to point out, which wipes the smile off from his face.

"That is not the point." He hisses, taking a step forward. My natural instinct is to take a step back, which makes him burst out laughing again.

"Een," He has to pause as he continued his hysterical laughter. I wasn't sure if he was laughing at me, or not, so I can only furrow my eyebrows at him and watch the way he had doubled over.

"Stay 5 feet away from me," I hiss, unknowingly making him laugh even harder. "Stop laughing!"

"Een, oh my god."

"Shut up."

"Oh God, Een. I love you."

It takes both Semi and I a couple seconds for his words to hit us. And when it did, the two of us go wide-eyed before we both end up screaming.

Well... more accurately put, Semi starts yelling and covers my mouth with his hand before I could begin to scream out loud. I flinch at the contact, tripping backwards inside my room bottom first. Semi, who has one hand over my mouth and the other behind my head, tumbles down when I do so, and he crashes down onto his knees while I look at him in utter shock.

"What the fuck, Een." He curses, looking at me as I let out a feeble whine. He lets go of me and crouches down a little to meet my eye level, and I end up wincing at how he was leaning so close to me.

"U-Um..."

"Does me touching you make you that uncomfortable?" He mumbles, his eyebrows furrowing and expression stern.

"What?! No. No! Why do you ask?"

"Your expression just now..."

"I'm just... I'm surprised... I didn't think you'd say that."

"I wasn't planning to. Goddamit, Een." He curses again, slamming his fist on the floor. "You're seriously making it impossible for me to hold in."

"I... I'm not complaining," I mumble under my breath, which makes Semi slam the floor again and sit down properly. He lets out a sigh while closing the door behind him before facing me.

"Een, stop."

I wrap my arms around my knees tightly, and he crosses his legs as he eyes me. When he raises an eyebrow, I take off my pair of glasses and place them near my feet. Semi's glance is now at it, and I use both my hands to cover my face before I spoke.

"I love you too, Eita. A lot."

When I uncover my face, I see that he had sneaked my glasses in hand, his mouth turned into a little 'o' as he looked at me in shock.

He literally froze in his tracks, when I spoke out.

And then, he begins to scowl.

"Sh-Shut up and let's go to the library." He mumbles, standing up with a jolt. As I felt myself heating up in embarrassment, I shake my head to calm myself. I get up and follow him outside, silence spreading between us while I walked with him to the dorm entrance.

I expect him to walk downstairs when he begins to walk off, but he takes a glance at his wrist instead. And then, he turns to look at me, with a sad smile on his face.

"I'm still sorry about before." His voice is quiet as he mutters this, and I shake my head to show him it was fine.

Of course, Semi and I had gone through a lot of things, and I wasn't going to deny that a lot of them were painful. But here he was standing in front of me, his ears still red from having been flustered so much because of me not too long ago.

At that moment, I never had felt happier.

"It's okay. You've made me really happy today.... You make me happy every day, so thank you." I smile up at him, my hands behind my back while he looks down at me with an uneasy look.

"Sh-Shut up. I'm going ahead to change." He says, turning around and stomping down the stairs.

But before he disappears out of sight, he turns back, because he had something more to say.

"You better be there. At the library. I'll wait for you."

And all I can do is watch the way my tsundere soulmate stomps quickly to the boy's side of the building, a flustered look plastered on his face the entire time.

All while I can only look at him go ahead, flushing red myself while I tried to take in just how happy I felt.
