She kept her composure through it all.

The swarming of guys now that I was no longer with her.

The higher workload and pressure on her to succeed.

Not only for the student council, but for all of Miyabigaoka.

I should be there for her.

Yet as I held the DNA tests, I knew I had to have gotten this done or it would have driven me crazy.

The only name that matched hers was Takumi's.

Now their blood matched as well.

I had managed to get her hair from my jacket which luckily she would use to wear at times.

Her brother though, was more difficult as I had to actually break into his house to take a hair off of his shirt.

But as I stood, hidden from her view as she controlled everything, her words were the only courage I needed.

"There's no way I'll stand beside anyone other than him."

They swirled around my head and I found myself intoxicated by everything about her.

The soft scent of her wafting around me as I had my jacket laid over my face.

My eyes were shut as I thought of us.

The shattered look in her eyes when she broke down, and I never knew why or what had happened.

She pushed me away entirely after that.

Saying she wasn't worthy of me.

I could never imagine why, for she had the highest class out of any female student I knew. Despite never flaunting off her money, she could have everything wrapped around her finger with a simple snap.

And I felt like a silk ribbon.

The one that I would tie in her hair when she was younger and couldn't tie it herself.

I had specially asked the maids to ask me how to tie one and they awed over how cute I was even as a young child.

The smooth silk in her hair as she'd hold her head high.

The part of her soft lips when she'd sleep beside me, napping after we would run around together all day.

I was her ribbon.

Without even knowing it.

She had me wrapped around her fingers, twirling me around and I'd dance for her.

Anything for her.

The fair was going to start tomorrow night and I needed to rest. With a sigh, I tossed the papers gently onto the table.

My eyes sharply scanning over the positive results of their matched genetics.

I had lost the number of times I looked over them, my eyes sore until I had to tear them off of the results.

Now just a day to break the news.

Yet once I woke tomorrow, the sun rising, I already would be far too late.

Y/N's POV

"There's no way I am ever agreeing to this," I spat at the man.

Honestly now that I thought about it, he could be the exact reason of Tora's actions.

But I could never know for sure.

He ruined our relationship together when Tora and I were younger, so there's not a doubt he'd do it again happily.

"You will do exactly as I say. You already know what I told you when you were a young child. Make sure to not make the same mistake twice, you know the consequences of your failure," he narrowed his sharp eyes at me and I scoffed.

"You deserve nothing other than being put behind bars," I seethed and he chuckled.

"Then why don't you do it?"

I knew I'd never be able to, because in result I'd ruin Tora.

It'd break him apart.

"Because of the one reason that I take my each breath," I clenched my fists, turning around to leave.

"And that is?"

"I'm sure you're aware of it," I scoffed.

"Of course, but I need to hear it from your lips," he snarled.

"I love Tora."

"Good girl."

"I'm Leo."

"I don't care," I didn't bother to turn around to face him, continuing to stack the files in the drawers.

I saw his arm come to rest by the side of my face and I sighed, turning around to face him as my back had been facing him.

"I'm glad to have gotten your attention without causing a fuss," he grinned, running a hand through his hair.

"Say what you need to, I don't have all day. The fair is tonight and I am expected to be dressed before then," I explained and he nodded.

"Sure thing, but I was wondering something," he tilted his head to the side and I raised a brow.

"And that is?"

"You don't seem to be so happy of me being appointed the student council president of Miyabigaoka," he cleared his throat and I narrowed my eyes at him.

"I'm not, glad to know you're not blind," I rolled my eyes as he stepped closer to me.

"Then I'll be sure to change your mind," he smiled softly, placing a hand over my shoulder.

I scoffed, shrugging his hand off of me.

"Don't get in my way, I've got work to get done," I glared at him as he smirked.

"Too bad, princess," he tilted my chin up.

"Watch it," I smacked his hand off and he simply sighed.

"I'm the president now, so that means you as my vice are under my each and every command. Is that clear?" He narrowed his eyes, daring me to defy him.

"Your authority means nothing to me, even with us working together."

"That's alright, princess. I'll prove myself to you anyways," he shrugged and I felt my eyebrow twitch.

"Usui, not princess," I gritted my teeth when he smirked at me, stepping closer to me again.

"But oh my, you are such quality of royalty," he held my hair between his fingers and I rolled my eyes.

"I don't care, quit it with the name."

"I'll address you however pleases me," he raised a brow.

"Not my problem," I didn't bother with him as I went back to filing the papers, knowing his eyes were on me.

Time ticked by as he simply sat in his chair, watching me work while he did absolutely nothing.

"Isn't it time for your dressing?" He raised a brow, tapping his watch and I looked at my own, my eyes widening as I rushed up.

I made sure to glance out the window, smiling as the fair was set and students were goofing around before we started.

"Your color scheme will go with my clothes," he spoke, standing beside me as he looked out as well. "As you are the host of this fair, it will be quite a sight to see you dressed for the event as the costume comes a part of being the leader," he smiled and I nodded.

"Alright, I'll be on my way then," I shut the file, marking it as I left, ready to start the fair once I was dressed.

You can choose either one or come up with one of your own!

Tossing the hood over my head, I nodded, telling the stylists I was ready and I headed out.

"Even more magnificent than I could have thought," he grinned and my eyes met the blue ones of the new president.

Sliding his arm around my waist, we stepped out and he tugged at his already extremely loose tie.

The buzz fading away to silence as our confident steps resounded in the evening air.

As the robe swayed by my feet, I smirked, stopping as everyone bowed to show their respects.

They raised their heads, grins over their faces as most times the host of events didn't dress up and they cheered happily.

I laughed softly, admiring the comforting aura they had managed to create together and I clapped my hands, dismissing them back to what they were doing.

"You sure do know how to make someone acknowledge your arrival," his blue eyes glinted.

"The presence of the vice president is a great one to consider," I shook his hold off of me.

"As is the president's," he added on and I scoffed.

"I'll never let you take Tora's place."

I bought this pair of shorts and I really like them but I just realized that they don't have pockets whAt thE hEck
