You had a habit of being blunt and calling people stupid names. You just did it before you could stop yourself, so you mainly just spoke your mind. You met Kou in a school hallway from bumping into each other while he was with Yokoo and Satou and he profusely apologised, but you just stared at him for a full minute.

"What an ugly earring."

His jaw dropped. So, the two of you didn't really get along. For now, anyway... Every time you saw him, you referred to him as 'Lame ass traffic earring' because of his earring instead of his name. Until the two of you got put together for a project, so he invited you over his house one day to work on it. You were mainly just teasing him the whole time while he worked. You'd help him, of course. Eventually.

"Like I'd listen to someone with an earring as lame as yours!" you exclaimed, then let out a yelp when Kou grabbed your shoulder with one hand and tugged your ear with the other.

"Want me to stick one on your ear, huh?" he asked.
