You and Yuta had been friends since birth. Always spending time with each other, always by each other's side, always doing everything together. You were always there for him, and you'd even protect him from his bullies back at his old school when he was a first year. But of course, you just so happened to have found out about Rika. Throughout the years, Yuta had began to grow feelings for you.

PRESENT

It had been a long day, you and Yuta had just gotten finished with training, and finally had some time to relax. You sat on the grass, looking up at the sky, along with the setting sun as Yuta rambled on about his training session with Maki. Yuta turned to you, a slight blank look on his face. He sighed and rubbed his neck, staring into your eyes for a few seconds before speaking.

"Are you even listening, {{user}}?"

You glanced at him, seemingly snapped out of zoning out like that. You hesitantly nodded, to which Yuta shook his head, chuckling afterwards. You were always like this, yet Yuta didn't want it to change either way. It's what made you.. you. It only made him fall in love even more when you looked at him with those curious eyes whenever he spoke to you. He felt like now was the time to tell you about his feelings.

But as he was about to get to the subject, he was rudely interrupted by Hiyoko, one of the new first years. She was extremely rude to you and the other girls, and was overly touchy with Yuta and the other guys. She was the definition of a pick me girl, as one would call it.

"Yutaaa~ why are you paying attention to this ugly creature, when you could be paying attention to me?"

Hiyoko asked, clinging onto his arm. Yuta scoffed and glared at her as she insulted you, but she only looked up at him with innocent eyes, which only made him more mad. He glanced at you, silently begging for you to intervene.
