"Why are we having a festival for valentines in August?" Shinobu laughed heartily at Giyuu's question, while Kanae explained with a smile. "It's a tradition here at the school. We have a late summer festival because we want everyone to enjoy the season." Sanemi facepalmed, realizing how ridiculous this whole situation was.
"This is ridiculous... but fine. We'll do it." Shinobu clapped her hands excitedly, clearly pleased with their agreement.
"Wonderful! I'll send you the details later. Don't forget to practice your kissing skills."
Sanemi's face turned bright red again, and he grabbed Giyuu's arm, dragging him out of the room. "Let's get out of here before I strangle her." As they walked away, Shinobu called after them. "Don't forget to bring your costumes! I have some cute couple outfits picked out for you two!" Sanemi groaned again, muttering curses under his breath.
"I swear, I'm going to kill her one day." Giyuu tried to comfort him, though he was also feeling anxious about the festival.
"At least we'll get to wear something nice... I guess." Sanemi shot him a look of disbelief. "Nice? She's probably going to make us wear something embarrassing like bunny suits or something." Sanemi stopped walking and leaned against the wall, running his hand through his hair in frustration.
"This is all your fault, Giyuu. If you hadn't been so quiet, maybe she wouldn't have thought we were already dating." He sighed deeply, looking at Giyuu with a mix of annoyance and affection. "Now we're stuck in this mess together." Giyuu looked at Sanemi with an innocent expression, tilting his head slightly.
"How is it my fault? You're the one who keeps holding my hand and being possessive." Sanemi's eyes widened at Giyuu's statement, caught off guard by the accusation.
"I-I'm not possessive! I just... ugh, forget it."
He looked away, crossing his arms defensively. "Let's just focus on getting through this festival without embarrassing ourselves too much. "We also have the double date with Genya and Muichiro, don't forget that." Sanemi facepalmed again, completely forgetting about the double date.
"Right... the double date. Great, just great. Two more people to witness our humiliation."
He checked his watch and groaned. "We're already late. Genya's going to tease us for sure." Giyuu chuckled softly at Sanemi's distress, finding his reaction amusing despite the situation.
"Come on, let's hurry. The sooner we get there, the sooner we can deal with everything."
Sanemi grabbed Giyuu's hand again, this time more gently, and started walking faster.
"You're enjoying this way too much, aren't you?" Giyuu smirked slightly, his blue eyes sparkling with mischief.
"Maybe a little. It's nice to see you flustered for once." Sanemi squeezed his hand tighter, a small smile tugging at his lips despite himself.
"I'll get my revenge later, Giyuu. Just wait." They arrived at the cafe where Genya and Muichiro were waiting. Genya spotted them first and waved enthusiastically.
"Hey, lovebirds! You're finally here!" Sanemi shot Genya a death glare, while Giyuu waved back politely. "Shut up, Genya. We're not lovebirds." Genya just laughed and pointed to the empty seats across from him and Muichiro.
"Sure, whatever you say. Sit down, we ordered your favorite drinks." Sanemi reluctantly sat down, pulling Giyuu into the chair next to him. Muichiro looked at them with his usual blank expression. "The article is pretty funny. You two make a cute couple." Genya snickered at Muichiro's comment, clearly enjoying the chaos.
"Yeah, Sanemi even kissed Giyuu in the hallway today. It was so dramatic." Sanemi's face turned red again, and he nearly choked on his drink. "That was NOT a real kiss! It was just to shut him up!" Muichiro raised an eyebrow skeptically. "Sure, and I'm the king of England." Giyuu tried to suppress his laughter, covering his mouth with his hand. Sanemi noticed and pinched his thigh under the table. "Don't you dare laugh, Giyuu. You're supposed to be on my side." Genya leaned forward, grinning widely.
"Oh, but he's enjoying this too much to be on anyone's side. Right, Giyuu?" Giyuu finally let out a small laugh, nodding in agreement with Genya. "You're both teasing me too much today. I think I'll have to get revenge on you all."
Sanemi groaned and facepalmed again, while Muichiro smirked. "Oh no, what are you planning, Giyuu?" Giyuu leaned closer to Sanemi, whispering something in his ear that made Sanemi's eyes widen in shock.
"You wouldn't dare..."
Genya and Muichiro watched curiously, waiting for Giyuu to reveal his plan. "What did he say, Sanemi? Tell us!" Sanemi's face was a mix of horror and embarrassment as he struggled to find words. "He... he said Shinobu post a picture of us cuddling in our dorm room." Genya burst into laughter, while Muichiro smirked even wider. "That's adorable! You two do cuddle?" Sanemi covered his face with his hands, trying to hide his embarrassment.
"We do NOT cuddle! That's just... that's not true!"
Giyuu poked Sanemi's side playfully. "Remember last night when you were the one who clung to me?" Sanemi shot him a betrayed look, while Genya and Muichiro exchanged knowing glances. "I was asleep! That doesn't count!" "Yea yea, you were definitely 'sleeping' after we had sex." The whole table went silent for a moment, then Genya and Muichiro started laughing hysterically.
"Holy shit, Giyuu just dropped the bomb!"
Sanemi looked like he wanted to die on the spot, his face completely red now. "GIYUU! You're dead meat after this!" Giyuu simply shrugged and took a sip of his drink, looking pleased with himself. "What? It's true. You were very affectionate afterwards." Genya wiped tears from his eyes, still laughing. "I can't believe this. My brother is dating a menace." Muichiro nodded in agreement, trying to catch his breath.
"Sanemi's usually so tough, but he's completely whipped for Giyuu." Giyuu simply shrugged and took a sip of his drink, looking pleased with himself. "What? It's true. You were very affectionate afterwards." Genya wiped tears from his eyes, still laughing."I can't believe this. My brother is dating a menace." Muichiro nodded in agreement, trying to catch his breath. "Sanemi's usually so tough, but he's completely whipped for Giyuu." Sanemi slammed his hands on the table, standing up abruptly.
"That's it! I'm leaving! You're all dead to me!"
He started walking away, but Giyuu grabbed his wrist and pulled him back down.
"Sit down, Sanemi. You're making a scene." Sanemi reluctantly sat back down, grumbling under his breath.
"I hate all of you."
Genya and Muichiro exchanged high-fives, while Giyuu leaned in to kiss Sanemi's cheek.
"No, you don't. You love us." Sanemi's anger melted away at the kiss, and he sighed in defeat. "Damn it, Giyuu... You know exactly how to make me weak." Genya pretended to gag.
