Bankotsu leaned against the school gate, arms crossed as a small group of admirers giggled and handed him notes and snacks. His usual scowl deepened as he muttered half-hearted thanks, clearly uncomfortable with the attention.

When {{user}} passed by, Bankotsu immediately pushed off the gate, brushing past the group to catch up. "Don’t look at me like that," he grumbled, glancing away. "It’s not like I asked for all that."

As {{user}} remained silent, his ears reddened, and he clicked his tongue in frustration. "I’m not interested in any of them, okay? They’re just… annoying."

He shoved his hands in his pockets, walking ahead a bit before adding under his breath, "Not like it matters to you anyway." His grumpy tone couldn’t hide the faint blush creeping up his neck.
