Yuri's POV (Omygawhd change in POVs)

____________________

Why am I like this? No I'm not talking about how gay I am, I'm perfectly okay with that. I mean, why am I so, insecure, so, clingy. Me and Natsuki are dating now, I shouldn't have a worry about how she views me. Because, she asked me to be her girlfriend, which means she loves me. You don't ask someone to date you unless you love them, right? I grumbled, it's at times like these I wished I never gave up cutting myself. Natsuki's still asleep, so I can't move, like at all. She has her body sprawled out. Even me moving to scratch an itch would wake her up. She looks so peaceful while she's asleep. I was able to get one of my arms free without waking her. I woke up a bit early, might as well let Natsuki sleep until we have to get up for school. 

My alarm blared with the chorus to 'Piggy Pie' (Piggy Pie by Insane Clown Posse is a bomb song tho. The old school version is better in my opinion) Natsuki jumped and screeched. I turned off the alarm. "S- Sorry button." I said scratching the back of my neck. "It's alright." Natsuki yawned before giving me tired kiss on the cheek. I smiled. I have nothing to worry about. She loves me. "I don't want to exist today." Natsuki mumbled trying to fall back asleep. I sat up so she couldn't. Natsuki stared at me with the most betrayed expression as I got up and out of bed. I giggled. Eventually Natsuki sat up with a groan. I heard her groan, but I was in the bathroom. Brushing my teeth, why would you need to know what? Natsuki wrapped her arms around me from behind. "I can't do anything, we forgot to grab my stuff." She mumbled. "W- we have a lot of s- spare brushes. They're i- in the cabinet over t- there." I said pointing to the cabinet above the toilet. "Damnit, I was hoping to pull one over on you." Natsuki said disappointedly, going over to the cabinet. "B- button, you need to brush your teeth, y- you'll get cavities and g- gingivitis  if you don't." I explained. "What's gingivitis?" Natsuki deadpanned. "A g- gum disease. Leftover p- plaque will go into your gums and they'll become inflamed, and t- they'll start to bleed." I explained further. "That sounds gross." Natsuki said coming back towards the sink with a brush. She purposely touched my butt while she was passing. I blushed up. "What w- was that?" I said looking over to her. "What was what?" She said with a smug smile. I sighed. "N- never mind. Back to w- what I was saying. It c- can also cause problems e- eating. If l- left untreated y- you could die from i- it." I said listing other reasons why gingivitis sucks. "Okay okay, home is for relaxing, school is for learning." Natsuki said begining to brush her teeth. I smiled at her remark.

We had to skip breakfast because Natsuki took an hour long shower, I don't blame her though, that's probably the first shower she's taken without worrying about her father in a long time. We still made it to class on time though. Me and Natsuki have separate classes, I walked her to her own, then sprinted to mine. I felt something crash against the back of my head. It was a paper, so it didn't hurt much. I turned around and grabbed the paper.

'Kys bitch.'

I sighed and threw the paper in my bag. "R- real mature guys, real m- mature." I muttered just loud enough for the entire class to here. The teacher excused herself to go get print out some paper work she forgot. I heard the people in the back of the class giggling. Typical popular ladies with their jock boyfriends. "She can't even speak without stuttering!" I heard one of the women shout before bursting into laughter. Pay no attention to them, they're just trying to get a reaction. As long as you don't give them one they'll- One of the jocks slapped the back of my head. I grumbled, irritated. Just don't give them a reaction, that'll be payback enough. "Hey, bookworm, you gonna speak up?" I heard one girl shout before snickering. Inhale, exhale, don't let them win. My body tensed. I heard more laughter. "Aww, are you getting mad?" A jock set his hand on my head before pulling me up into a standing position forcefully. I growled. "Haha! She's getting angry! Acting like she's gonna actually do something to me if I dont sto-" "Hey! What the fuck do you think you're doing?!" Natsuki. But class isn't over yet, for either of us. "Teaching this girl a lesson, why, what are you gonna do pink twig. Try and stop me?"" They all bursted into laughter. I'm fine with them insulting and harassing me, but insulting my girlfriend. That is a crime punishable by the fist of justice. I punched the jock that was holding me up in the gut. He let go of my hair and tumbled backwards. Everyone's eyes were on me now. "Yeesh. Serves him right. I just wanted to check on you, bye Yuri, see you at literature club." Natsuki stated calmly before exiting the room like nothing ever happened. I sat back down and endured the rest of the class.

No one messed with me for the rest of the classes. Word gets around quick. Natsuki was at the door when I finished we walked together. "This i- isn't the literature club room." I said confused. Natsuki nodded and pulled me inside the empty classroom. 

"Give me your bag." Natsuki's tone was stern. "Eh? W- why?" I asked remembering I didn't have time to throw out the hateful note from earlier, or the ones before those. "Because, I want to see how long those idiots have been picking on you." She said reaching her hands out for the bag. I reluctantly handed her the bag. She unzipped it and began searching. She pulled out all sorts of little notes. Natsuki frowned as she uncrumpled the first note. "Why are you even keeping these things?" She asked angered opening up more of the notes. I looked away, why didn't I just throw them away. "Geez, there's hundreds of these Yuri." Natsuki mumbled. I didn't respond, Natsuki finally finished reading all of the notes. I couldn't bring myself to make eye contact with her. I know she was staring at me though. "A- are you mad at m- me?" I managed to say softly, with a trembling voice. "Mad?" Natsuki asked, the sternness and anger from before vanished. "No, no I'm not mad at you." She said inching closer to me and eventually trapping me in a hug. I whimpered. I can't help but feel like she is. Natsuki planted a kiss on my cheek. "Now, I am furious with the fucktards that are saying these things about you. But right now you don't need my anger, that would only make you feel worse, right?" I nodded slowly. "I do know that you need your girlfriend. So that's what I'm gonna do, just, be there for you." She spoke softly. I timidly returned her hug. "H- hey Natsuki?" I started. "Hm?"  Natsuki said starting to rock the both of us back and forth. "Why d- do you l- love me?" I asked softly. "Eh?" Natsuki was confused. "I mean t- take the people in your m- manga for example. T- the only ones with a- any value are t- the ones with spunky pe- personalities or super powers. I- I have neither. S- so why me?" I explained. Natsuki's hug suddenly became twelve times tighter. It didn't hurt, too much. "Because, I don't want someone like that. I want something like what we already have together. Who cares what you can do, your awesome to me. You don't need a spunky personality or super powers, what you have already is what I absolutely adore." "Wh- what do I have?" I asked, still feeling insecure. Natsuki looked at me with a soft and loving expression. "Well, for starters. I love how gentle and kind you are, I love how passionately you speak about things you like. I love how shy you are." Natsuki lowered herself down and rested her head on my chest. " I love how you stand up for your friends, and good lord your memes are spicy." I chuckled at the final remark. "To be honest, I just love your personality in general." "But what abou-" "I swear to god if you say anything about your body I will caress you boobs right here and now." Natsuki deadpanned. I giggled. "Th- that just makes me want t- to say something a- about my body." I said with a smile. Natsuki usually doesn't just throw these types of emotions out into open like this. Natsuki's face flushed when I finished my sentence. 

The door flung open, Monika and Sayori tumbled to the ground. They quickly stood back up. Sayori chuckled nervously. "Soooo-" Monika started before Natsuki cut her off. "Get out." She growled, clearly angry with their intrusion. "But we found another new club member!" Sayori said excitedly. "R- really? That's great!" I said happily. "Yeah! She's waiting in the clubroom with MC!" Sayori said cheerily. "Get up, let's go." Monika clapped her hands together. "I don't wanna move!" Natsuki pouted. I picked her up. "Let's go!" Sayori said happily.

I set Natsuki down before we entered the clubroom. Monika opened the door. "Sorry for the wait you two, we're back now." Monika apologized with a smile. The new girl has shortish dark brown hair, just enough to be able to tie in a pony tail. It was tied into a loose ponytail. Her eyes were the same color as her hair. She looks about as gifted in the chest as Natsuki. He wore her blazer open, and the cardigan that was supposed to be underneath it was nowhere to be seen. She looks about five feet tall. "Nice to meet you both." The girl said with a smile. "I'm Zoey, please, call me Zoe." She said waving. "N- nice to meet you t- to." I said, with my normal timidness. It's a common thing around new people. "Yeah yeah, whatever. C'mon Yuri let's go." Was she jealous? No, no probably not. All she did was say hi to me. 

Natsuki begged me to read Parfait Girls with her. After messing around a bit I decided to read it with her. Every five seconds she stopped to ramble about smaller details that would become important later on. I have to admit, she's very passionate about these books. Zoey came over to ask some questions every so often. She's a nice person. My suspicions were confirmed though, Natsuki is one hundred percent jealous. Why am I happy about that? Is it because it just proves she does love me? I wonder what she would do if I actually made friends with Zoey. Would she become more jealous? Would she just give up and return to normal? Or worse case scenario, she dumps me. No she wouldn't do that. Because she loves me. Right?
