There was currently a flock of girls around Hirata's desk, which was right next to Y/N's. Y/N had paid no mind to them as he was on his phone searching for something on the internet. He had heard Hirata call out if anyone wanted to join him for lunch and Y/N said he wouldn't mind. This made Hirata extremely happy as he didn't have to be the only boy in the group.
Y/N was absentmindedly scrolling through his phone and when he saw a few people walking away, he followed them thinking it was Hirata and his group. When he got outside the classroom and looked up, he saw Hirata nowhere. Looking through the glass paned windows, he sees the ikeman still in the classroom.
Y/N decided to wait outside and leaned on the wall as he continued looking through his phone.
Y/N - So that's how she knew. Makes sense. What a terrifying ability.
Y/N had found his answer as to how Kiyone knew what he was thinking yesterday in the store.
Y/N - Woman's intuition huh? Is there a man's intuition?
As he continued searching through his phone, inside a few girls approached Kiyone who had been looking out the window and watching the trees sway. Just as she was about to get up and grab some lunch, she was asked a question.
"Ayanokouji-san, would you like to join us?"
"Join you?"
"For lunch of course!"
The girl Kiyone recalled, Satou, asked her to join them in eating lunch. Inside, Kiyone was ecstatic and was glad she was being invited out. She was going to be making friends.
Kiyone - Who doesn't want friends?
She walked with the girls that had approached her to the rest of the group with Hirata in the center. Him seeing Kiyone, looked at her with a polite smile.
"I'm glad you're joining us Kiyone."
"Yeah, likewise."
The group consisted of 7 people; Kiyone, Satou, Matsushita, Karuizawa, Shinohara, Mori and Hirata. What Kiyone didn't know was that there'd be an eighth person and he's waiting for them outside. When they slid open the door to leave the classroom, they all see a handsome black-haired male on his phone leaning on the wall. Pushing himself off the wall he speaks.
"Took you long enough Yosuke."
"Yeah sorry about that." Hirata scratches his cheek as he apologises.
Y/N looks to see who else is joining them from lunch and his eyes immediately land on Kiyone, their eyes meeting.
"So Class D's princess is joining us huh?" Y/N let out a teasing smirk.
"Class D's... Princess?" Kiyone muttered in confusion.
She turned to her fellow classmates who had just nervously chuckled. They all knew Kiyone didn't know her new nickname that has been given by the class. Kiyone just shrugged as they didn't answer and looked back at Y/N who was now smiling.
"Ah, forget what I said. I'm just babbling nonsense."
After the group was able to get their lunch and sit down at a table, everyone immediately began talking to each other. Well everyone except Y/N and Kiyone as the two seemed more interested in eating and listening to the others.
"Ne ne, what do you two think about the school? I mean we get 100,000 points a month." Karuizawa asked.
"Oh, I'm really glad." Kiyone answered.
"RIght, imagine all the clothes we could buy." Mori said.
"That's right! Kiyone, you should come with us to the mall on the weekends." Matsushita remembered.
"I forgot, we don't have your contact number. Give us your ID and we'll put you in girls Group Chats." Karuizawa told Kiyone.
"Is that... Okay?" Kiyone asked hesitantly.
"Of course it is!" Shinohara exclaimed.
Kiyone nodded and immediately gave her Student ID to Karuizawa who added her to them and gave Kiyone's phone back. Kiyone immediately went through them and couldn't help but internally sweatdrop at the amount of chats she's been added to.
It's only the second day.
"There's a lot. It's going to be hard to keep track of. And what's these rankings? The–"
"Shhh!" Satou immediately clamped her hand over Kiyone's mouth.
"Those are things only girls are allowed to know. That means no boys."
Everyone on the table turned to Y/N who was trying to peek at Kiyone's phone. All the girls glared at him and when he noticed this, he turned away and whistled. Hirata just chuckled at his seatmate's actions.
"We'll talk later when there are no boys around us."
Karuizawa said, glancing at the only males on the table.
"At five PM Japan Standard Time today, we will be holding a student club fair in Gymnasium No. 1. Students interested in joining a club, please gather in Gymnasium No. 1. I repeat, at—"
"Hey should we go?" Shinohara asked.
"Well I did say I wanted to join the soccer club." Hirata said.
"Oh that's right!" Karuizawa remembered.
"What position do you want to play Yosuke?" Y/N asked.
"Well I'm hoping I could either be a striker or at least a midfielder."
"Anything but a sub, right?"
Hirata laughed lightly at Y/N's joke and answered 'right.'
"So we're all going huh? What about you two?" Matsushita asked Y/N and Kiyone.
"I'll go if Kiyone goes."
Y/N proclaimed this boldly and the girls couldn't help think;
Is he trying to hit on Kiyone?
"Um, I don't mind." Kiyone answers.
"Then let's meet up after class."
Once they finished eating and finished classes, they all went straight to the gymnasium but not before making a pit stop to get ice cream. But as soon as they arrived, a crowd came rushing in behind them and they all ended up getting split up.
Y/N and Kiyone were somehow the only two standing and hadn't moved. Y/N scratched his head in confusion before turning to Kiyone who was staring at the ground. Following her stare, he sees a small tub of ice cream on the floor squished, which has most likely been stepped on.
"Um."
Y/N didn't know what to say as he remembered her expression when she first took a bite her ice cream. Everyone was mesmerised by the display as she seemed to enjoy it. Of course Y/N knew why because it was her first time having it.
"[sighs] Here, you can have mine. I hope you don't mind the flavour." Y/N said as he held out his ice cream.
"[looks at him] Are you sure? You don't have to—"
"I can tell you really wanted to finish it. You were also probably planning to buy another one afterwards, weren't you."
Avoiding his gaze, she reached out and took the ice cream from his outstretched hand.
"Thanks."
"[smiles] Don't mention it."
Nodding, she took small bites of the ice cream, this time making sure to savour it. They both began walking again and looked around. They saw many clubs, but none had interested them. Well not Y/N as he was willing to join a club that involves chess. For Kiyone, she had already chosen to not waste her time in joining any clubs. She didn't want any more attention than she already has with her class.
As Kiyone was still having her ice cream, Y/N was looking around trying to see if he could spot Hirata and the others anywhere. Soon the noise started to quiet down and everybody seemed to stop moving as their gazes were fixed on the stage. Y/N finding this odd, looked on the stage where he notices a black-haired male with glasses staring at everyone with a cold, sharp analytical gaze. One Y/N has seen many times in the mirror.
Raising an eyebrow, Y/N looked around to see the atmosphere go tense and most people's faces drained of colour. Was he really that scary? Y/N looked towards Kiyone to see her staring at him as well but she still had her apathetic face on and was still having her ice cream at the same time.
Y/N - It's expected for someone like her to not be affected by this.
Kiyone - What do you know? It seems Y/N isn't even scared of someone like him.
During the entirety of the SCP's speech, Y/N and Kiyone could tell his gaze was more focused on the both of them, however Kiyone paid no intention to it as she was more focused on the ice cream she was having. Y/N couldn't help but sweatdrop at the sight he was blessed with.
Once the speech was over and the crowd started to dissipate as they most likely went to sign up for clubs or leave because they were bored, Hirata spotted Y/N and Kiyone and approached them with girls following behind him.
"Hey Y/N-kun, Ayanokouji-san! we've finally found you."
"[nods] Are you gonna sign up, Yosuke?"
"Yeah, I just wanted to make sure you guys were okay."
"Oh, thanks for worrying Yosuke."
"What about you guys?"
"Well there's nothing here that really attracts my attention, so I guess not."
"That's disappointing. What about you Ayanokouji-san?"
"Um, I'm already a part of the going home club."
Everyone giggled at her words as they watched her finish off the rest of her ice cream.
"So what did you guys think of the Student Council President?" Karuizawa said, changing subjects.
"He was really scary." Satou stated.
"I think he was mostly doing it to test us." Matsushita said with a thoughtful expression.
"Why do you think that?"
"Ah, ha ha, well..."
"So Ayanokouji-san? Did you get scared?" Karuizawa said, unknowingly saving Matsushita.
"Yeah, did L/N-kun make sure to protect you?"
All the girls started to crowd her as they were interested if anything happened between Y/N and Kiyone while they were left alone.
"Protect? [tilts her head] From what?"
"F-from how scary the Student Council President was."
"Ah, I wasn't paying attention to the guy on stage."
"Ehh? You weren't?"
"Who knew you were so brave?"
"And here I was expecting something to happen between the two. [sighs depressingly]" Karuizawa said, but her eyes travelled to Kiyone's hand and read the flavour. "Mint choc-chip? Wasn't that the ice cream Y/N got?"
"Oh yeah, Kiyone accidently dropped hers and was sad about it, so I decided to give her mine." Y/N explained.
"Ooooh, who knew you were so smooth."
"Smooth?" Y/N questioned.
Y/N - Oi Oi. Stop trying to make this into something it isn't!
"Ne, isn't that your spoon as well?"
"It is!!"
"Do you know what this means?!"
"Kyaaaa!"
Y/N - What's wrong with them now?
"...I'm confused." Kiyone said.
"Don't you get it! You both ate out of the same spoon!"
It took a few seconds, but realisation dawned upon Y/N as he realised what they were talking about. But Kiyone was still confused and she turned to Y/N as for an answer as he seemed to know what they are talking about.
"Seriously, you're all going crazy because of an indirect kiss?" Y/N questions.
"Well yeah, of course! It's a big deal."
"I didn't know it was." Kiyone muttered.
Kiyone - So I practically had my first kiss huh?
Kiyone's fingers unintentionally touched her lips in thought. Y/N simply sighed as he had one thought on his mind.
Y/N - Please don't ship us. It'll never happen. If the instructor hears about this, he'll kill me on the spot.
