misunderstanding || itafushi ?

-chapter two

"Nobara!" I sighed with frustration.

I went in front of the mirror and looked at myself. I look like a shit. Eyes puppy, swollen, and kinda red. Even the corner of my eyes is burnt. I feel the pain in my eyes. Even my head hurts. I should've known the consequences of crying. I raised my hand to rub it, but it will hurt more.

Before going down, I took a quick shower. But this time I locked the door in order not letting to occur that scene again. After drying up myself, I opened the door and peeked inside my bedroom to make sure that she was not there. I opened the door fully and got out, picking a sweater and kinda oversized, garish trousers from the wardrobe. I took the hair towel, put it on my head, and went downstairs.

"Nobara?" I called out for her.

"I'm here." her voice came from the kitchen, and I walked toward there. The door was closed, but I usually keep it open. When I opened the door, I was smacked really hard in my head.

"Ow, the hell did you do that for?!"

"You idiot, where have you been?! I and Megumi were looking for you. We were worried. You weren't even answering your phone."

"Sorry, I was actually feeling blue and needed to be alone."

"Why? What bothers you? How are feeling now?" She smiled.

"I'm alright now. No worries." Her smile dropped and glared at me giving
Nah, I'm not believing this shit. We stared at each other for a long time. She was getting a little closer to me, but the thing is, she was looking in the corner of my eye. Shit.

"Were you crying?" She sounded worried.

"Pft, no, that's nonsense. I accidentally burnt it; the water was too hot."

"Yuuji, you are really bad at lying as Megumi. Do not ever fool a woman."

"But-"

"Shh, seriously. What's wrong..." she stopped and there was shock in her eyes."Don't tell me that he rejected you. You got heartbroken, and you cried due to this. That's why that asshole was looking for you."

"Nobara, no. You misunderstood-"

"Shut up." I zipped my mouth, showing it with a sign

"So, tell me the details, please. I would like to know what made him reject you?"

"Nothing happened?" She raised a brow and put her hands on her hips. That's a woman sign. She is getting mad.

"Because I didn't confess?" I averted my eyes.

She gasped suddenly. "What?! But...but you said that you were ready for that."

"I was ready, until," I gulped. There's something stuck in my throat.

"Until..."

"Yuuji, focus and calm down. Just take it slow and breathe."

I did what she told me. There was a quiet silence between us. I couldn't look at her. I didn't want to see the pity on her face. I felt tears in the corner of my eyes. I stayed silent more to buy time. She wasn't complaining about that, just waiting patiently for me to tell her.

Finally, I gathered up.

"I saw them kissing." she stayed silent. But I can feel her gaze that she wonders who I am talking about.

"Megumi and who?" I gulped, that scene came in front of my eyes. And here it's the pain that I felt in my heart.

It hurts. Why? Why? Why her? I sighed. I squeezed my eyes.

"Mina." I raised my head to see facial expression. There is some kind of expression that I can't explain. She is looking at me like I was joking. Then unexpectedly, she burst into a laugh.

"Bitch, how do you consider it as a fun!?"

"Wait! Wait! You are telling me that they kissed!?" She laughed like a maniac. Sometimes I am really scared of her. "This is the shittiest thing I've ever heard in my life."

What the actual fuck!

"Oh my God, I've never laughed so hard like that before. My stomach hurts." Here she is. She is not helping at all. Just laughing and making me feel a shit. Whatever I say to any person. They all take it as a joke. Sometimes, I wish someone saw me as a normal person who likes to talk, even unintentionally. I wish there was someone who wouldn't laugh at me and take me seriously. They still think I am 15 years old. They treat me like that. I also want to be understood by people. I also have feelings and it breaks my heart. No one considers my feelings seriously.

No one.

The fact that I didn't say something funny that she can excrete. I couldn't stand it anymore. I wanted to leave the house. I was about to open the door when Nobara caught my arm.

"Yuuji, I'm sorry for laughing. I didn't think that possibilty. C'mon we are talking about Megumi. You can't be that sure-"

"No, I definently saw it. Bye." I walked out of the kitchen.

"But, Yuuji, please, listen to me."

Enough is enough. I don't have that strenght to listen anymore.

I quickly wore my shoes and took the keys. Oppening the front door harshly caused me to bumpt into someone.

"There you are, dumbass."
