“Hmm, I see,” Seru Akita began as he touched his chin, feigning a look of thinking when he wasn’t. With his eyes in confusion, he looked at Noru Kaneki and Suon Karma. “Uhm, you two understand?”
Noru Kaneki nodded his head as he rolled his eyes so far back, it looked like it would stay in place. “Unlike you two stupids, I actually pay attention in class. Although Zeno went all over with that explanation, I know what to do.”
“Nope, it went in one ear and went out the other. I never knew Japanese had such beautiful words. Someone like I am unable to understand such intelligent words.” Suon Karma made a face of awe as he whispered this, able to see how Seru Akita looked at him with eyes that said he was weird.
Narisa Zeno watched the three talk amongst themselves after he had finished his explanation. Off to the side, Tendou Yagami stood by his side and Narisa Zeno swore he could feel his breath hitting his face but he didn’t say anything.
“And you, do you have anything to add?” Narisa Zeno whispered to Tendou Yagami while the other three were too deep into their conversation.
Tendou Yagami saw how Narisa Zeno leaned closer towards him and he shook his head. “No, I think you explained it quite well.”
Hearing this, Narisa Zeno showed a grimace. “If so, why are those three still contemplating about what I said?” He couldn’t help but add a sigh as he said this.
Seeing Narisa Zeno’s reaction, Tendou Yagami’s lips curved as he let out a subtle chuckle, a husky voice coming out. Recently, his voice had gotten even deeper and more husky than it was before, it also seemed like he was growing again.
One month ago, he was still a bit shorter than Narisa Zeno. Now, he was already beginning to get taller.
“Alright! I got it, I understand now! Praise I, the one smarter than you, Akita!” Suon Karma exclaimed as he stood up with a prideful face, a finger pointing towards Seru Akita as he made fun of him.
Standing by him, Seru Akita rubbed his face with a hand, an expression of shock and disbelief showed. “I can’t believe he understood it before me. He’s supposed to be the dumbest out of all of us.”
Noru Kaneki smirked from the side, “You both are stupid, how about that…problem solved.”
Narisa Zeno rubbed his forehead as he listened to them talk. Hah! High schoolers…he forgot how dumb they were at this stage of their lives.
“Okay, alright. Now that everyone understands their role, we’re done here. Make sure not to tell Hina anything, we don’t want to alert the spy. From the clues that I’ve gotten, the spy is in his last year of school. Make sure not to get the wrong person, we don’t want to let this chance slip by.” Narisa Zeno finally ended the conversation. Anymore than this and he was sure that his mind would blow up.
“Whatever you say, Zeno.” Noru Kaneki, Seru Akita, and Suon Karma mumbled at the same time. Obviously, they didn’t hear a single thing Narisa Zeno said. They were still focused on the topic from before.
Tendou Yagami was able to see that Narisa Zeno was starting to get tired now, so he finally stepped in. “Alright, now that they understand, let’s go. Classes are ending already, school is almost over. There’s no need to go back to classes anyway, I’m sure that the other students have already alerted the teachers. So, let’s go somewhere fun. I heard that there’s a festival near here. We can go to my place first and then go to the festival later.” Saying this, Tendou Yagami had already grasped Narisa Zeno’s hand as he tugged them towards the school building to get their bags.

Narisa Zeno merely let Tendou Yagami pull him away, lips unable to help but curve as he watched Tendou Yagami pull him away. He was able to see the slightest blush on Tendou Yagami’s ear.

“Did I just see that?” Suon Karma asked as he tilted his head, watching Narisa Zeno get dragged away by a hand. “Wow, I’m starting to hallucinate now.” Saying so, he rubbed his eyes.
“Dang, so that’s why he joined, huh…who’s gunning for each other? Yo, Akita, you should know, right?” Noru Kaneki said as his eyes narrowed.
“That’s classified information, I am not allowed to speak of such grave matters to idiots.” Saying so, Seru Akita smirked, the very smirk on the face of someone you wanted to punch.
Noru Kaneki’s face twitched as he told himself to calm. But, it didn’t work. “Idiot! I’m smarter than you both, you useless old people!”
“Are not, the only thing you have is your poisonous mouth!” Suon Karma refuted.
“We all know I’m the smartest and cleverest compared to you two logs.” Seru Akita dramatically raised his hand to fan himself, whipping his long, red hair to the back with a flicker of his neck.
“You wish!”
“I’m the smartest!”
“Go to he*l!”
“I’m definitely the classiest!”
“You got nothing against me, shortie.”
“Short has nothing to do with brain, you muscle-head.”
“This is why I’m the smartest, I ain’t petty like you people.”
–
Tendou Yagami didn’t even notice that he was grasping onto Narisa Zeno for so long until he happened to turn back and meet his eyes. With a look of shock, he let go as he stammered, “Sorry.”
Narisa Zeno was a bit sad that he had been let go just like that, but he merely took back his hand as he replied, “That’s alright. So, are we really doing it?”
Tendou Yagami nodded his head. “Of course. Didn’t you say you like me? You can use this moment to get closer to me, or at least tell me more about yourself. This way, I can also open up to you.” He couldn’t help the mischievous smile on his face.
By now, they had already gotten their bags and were already walking back to Tendou Yagami’s home. Narisa Zeno realized that Tendou Yagami’s home wasn’t that far away, a mere seven minutes but since Tendou Yagami didn’t like to walk on the crowded streets, he chose the crowded bus instead.
“Aren’t you scared that I’m going to take advantage of you?” Narisa Zeno asked, a light smile on his face as he walked side by side next to Tendou Yagami.
“Even if you wanted to, you’ll still have to beat me first. And if you wanted to, you would’ve the moment we first met. Why waste a month to get closer to me? I trust you, I think I’m also falling for you, just not too sure right now.” Tendou Yagami smirked to himself and then he finally let the bomb drop.
Tendou Yagami’s small confession only made the smile on Narisa Zeno’s face brighter. What to do? He was falling deeper with each world…
“That’s good for me then, am I moving your heart?” Narisa Zeno asked, his voice a bit sweeter and softer on purpose.
(Male lead’s love meter is at 50%.)
Tendou Yagami let out a laugh as he saw how Narisa Zeno’s face seemingly got brighter. Nodding as an answer, he muttered, “Yeah, you are. You’re doing a great job at it too. For some reason, you feel really familiar to me, and you’re also lovable to say the least. Everyday, I’m falling deeper. Do you believe that?”
“Then are you going to accept my confession yet? I’ll wait patiently for your reply.” Narisa Zeno couldn’t help the warming of his heart as he leaned closer to Tendou Yagami.
“Not yet, I want to know more about you first. I also need to open up to you before we begin that stage of our life. But, it won’t be too long, it should be soon. You treat me too well, I can’t be cruel even if I want to.” Saying this, Tendou Yagami brushed past Narisa Zeno’s hand, returning the favor from before.
Narisa Zeno felt Tendou Yagami’s hand brush past his, and he looked down. “You noticed what I did before…”
Tendou Yagami merely replied, “You made it too obvious. But I found it interesting how you turned your head as if you had done nothing. You can hold my hand if you want to, I just wonder how you’re going to react like if we start getting stares from people. I’m not scared, but what about you?”
Narisa Zeno’s eyes showed a look of resolute, “Scared? As if I would care about what other people think. Love is love, you can’t control it. Love will run free no matter how other people try to tame it.”
With Narisa Zeno’s reply, they had finally arrived at Tendou Yagami’s house. The house wasn’t big, it was a cozy and small home. It had a touch of Japanese house mixed with the modernized houses now.
Tendou Yagami entered in the pin into the keypad on the door, unlocking it as they went in. Narisa Zeno followed after Tendou Yagami, slipping off his shoe as he slipped his feet into the slippers. Hanging his bag onto a rack, he heard the voice of a mature man.
“Yagami?”
Narisa Zeno knew that it was Tendou Yagami’s brother, Tendou Akiyama.
Appearing from the kitchen, an apron on his suit still, Tendou Akiyama held a spatula in his hand. He had glasses on, his features almost identical to Tendou Yagami’s, only more mature. And instead of the brown hair, Tendou Akiyama had black hair that was styled delicately. He stood at the same height as Tendou Yagami.
Tendou Yagami turned to Tendou Akiyama, furrowing his brows as he said, “Brother, you didn’t tell me you were coming.”
Tendou Akiyama gently smiled, dimples appearing on his face. There was a look of gentleness on his face, even as one could tell that when not smiling, he would appear quite cold. “It was a matter of impulse.” Turning his eyes to Narisa Zeno, he called out, “You must be Yagami’s friend. I’m his older brother, Tendou Akiyama.”
Narisa Zeno nodded his head, walking in as he replied, “I’m Narisa Zeno, Yagami’s friend.”
Hearing that, Tendou Yagami lifted a brow, “Not a friend, he’s my future lover.”
Tendou Akiyama lifted his brow too, eyes in questioning as he looked at the two. But there wasn’t disapproval within them, merely surprised.
Off to the side, Narisa Zeno wanted to smack his silly lover. He couldn’t just spring the news onto people like that.
“I see, well, sit down first. I’ve made some onigiri (rice balls), and miso soup. I’m still cooking the pork cutlets so sit down for now. We’ll talk after I’m done. And make sure to get some water for Zeno.” Tendou Akiyama merely said before he went back into the kitchen.
Narisa Zeno sat down like a robot, his movements stiff.
Well, this is a situation he hadn’t experienced before.
And in this world, he couldn’t even be shameless.
Standing to the side, Tendou Yagami smirked as he went off to grab a cup of water for Narisa Zeno.
Tendou Akiyama looked back towards Tendou Yagami as he whispered. “Not going, right?”

Turning his eyes to Narisa Zeno, he called out, “You must be Yagami’s friend. I’m his older brother, Tendou Akiyama.”
Narisa Zeno nodded his head, walking in as he replied, “I’m Narisa Zeno, Yagami’s friend.”
Hearing that, Tendou Yagami lifted a brow, “Not a friend, he’s my future lover.”😳😳😳
Hehe, now it’s Zenos time to get teased, after the ML got always teased in the last world 😂😂
