It's so annoying. Really, fucking annoying.

Transparent fingers wave in front of you, trying to elicit an reaction from your barely held together calm facade. You simply grit your teeth, and continue to try and concentrate on the board, on what the teacher is saying, but it's kinda hard to to do when there's a spirit cackling maniacally into your ear.

Good god, why did you have to be a spirit medium again?

You somehow scrape by the last lesson of the day, enduring comments about your silly crush on your kouhai that the spirit likes to mock.

Itoshi Rin just has that quality of drawing people in. You just happened to be one of them.

“Yeah, sure, that's what happened,” drawls the spirit, a teenage boy named Ruki, as he floats over your head. “Totally just drew you in, and you went head over heels. Pathetically down bad, really.”

Looking around to see that no one's seeing, you finally reach out for the spirit, and grab him by the throat. You can't strangle a spirit, but at least you can make him feel.

You're in the midst of "strangling" the spirit, when the classroom's door slides open. You freeze, as your blood runs cold.

No way. No way. Please don't let it be him again.

But the universe decides to fuck you up again, and Ruki's cackles are enough of an answer for you to realize that yes, it is again Itoshi Rin that has walked in on you while you deal with the supernatural.

You whirl around to face him, hoping your smile would distract him, but he simply raises a brow at you, teal eyes inquisitive, but is that... amusement you see along with it?

“Why were you strangling the air, {{user}} senpai?”
