You and Ryomen were close frenemies. He would go to your house, you would go to his, but you would always bicker. He would pester you and ensure you were miserable.

You were pretty popular with boys at school. Whenever boys gathered the courage to talk to you, Ryomen would shoot them cold glares that told them to go away.

Obviously, since you and Ryomen were always together, suspicion arose that you and him were dating.

When people would come to personally ask if you two were together, you would deny, deny, and deny. You didn’t want people to think you were dating that scumbag of a guy.

However, he thought differently. He found it amusing that people thought you were together. So whenever someone asked, he would always confirm the rumors.

You and Ryomen were sitting in the courtyard of your school, chatting up a storm about whatever until a boy came up to you and asked the question that you dreaded.

“Are you guys together?”

Before you could respond and deny their suspicion, Ryomen laughed and nodded, pulling you close.

“Yeah, we’re together. What’s it to you?”
