"Yea.. I was taken care of... properly." I say as I look up at tomoe who was watching us at the end of the hallway.

He looked bothered by my arrival. his expression was perplexing, And unreadable.

"Hey... tomoe" I say to him with an akward smile.

"... Hello" he says.

he walks right away after.

Despite the urge to go and run after him I turn my attention to nanami.

"Nanami do you want to go hang out today or maybe tomorrow?" I ask.

"Huh? Yea I can tomorrow but not today I have school. And speaking of which you should be joining me too."

" Alright, maybe then I'll be able to talk to you." I say with a smile.

She looks at me a bit confused as I walk off, leaving her behind. I head to my room and see tomoe outside drinking sake.

I curse at myself before walking towards his direction.

I observed him before gently taking the drink out of his hand.

"You know you could get sick if you keep drinking all that sake everyday tomoe."

"Nonsense, I haven't had sake since yesterday, and it wasn't nearly enough as you think."

"Ha... At this point your going to start a drinking habit."

"Are you here to pester me again about what I can and cannot do? How bothersome."

"Well it's not my fault that I care about your wellbeing."

After those words slipped from my mouth, an akward silence filled the air Until tomoe began to speak.

"I did not ask for you to care about me or my wellbeing... So I do not understand why you do so."

".... It's natural for humans to care about the people they.... Anyways, I wanted to talk to you about somthing."

"Well it will have to wait until later because you have school so hurry up and get dressed so I can send you off." He says while getting up.

I nodded and got up after him. He took a few steps inside the shrine before turning to me. I was still outside when he walked towards me and put a hand on my head pushing it down.

My head was now facing the floor and he began to speak.

"...I apologize.. for my actions yesterday."

My eyes went wide in surprise. Tomoe apologize to me??? That's a 180 from how he would usually act. Before he was do... Egotistical I guess you could say.

But hearing those words come out of his mouth made a large grin spread across my face. I grabbed his hand and moved it from my head then i looked up at him.

"Thanks tomoe" I said while grinning.

He then walks away without saying anything, which didn't really bother me because he probably was feeling embarrassed or something.

After I got changed and dressed I walk up to nanami and grab her arm while heading out of the house.

"You seem happy what happened." Nanami asked.

" Oh nothing just... Somthing that I thought was impossible just happened and I'm a bit surprised."

"Wait did tomoe apologize already??"

"..How do you know that?" I say while slowing down a bit.

"Oh so he diiiid, I didn't think he would do it so early. Yesterday he came to me saying that he made you mad and so I told him that an apology is the only way to make things better." She said with a smile.

" Ohhh."

"Yea we also worked on his apology because at first it was completely insincere." She said chuckling.

I observed her expression and by the looks of it it seemed as if she was already falling for him.

" So.. when he put his hand on my head and pushed it down... Did you show him that too?" I asked nervously.

"Huh? No I didn't say to do anything like that."

"Oh!" I say in relief.

I guess he didn't want to look me in the eye and say it.. or maybe that was just a head pat. I lightly touch the back of my head.

Nanami and I were walking back to class from bringing papers to the teachers room, there was a comfortable silence between us until she broke it.

"Y/n where did you go when you left?" Nanami asked.

"Oh.. I stayed with a friend."

" But I though you didn't have any friends."

" Before I didn't but now I do. I made a new one." I smiled.

I turned to look at her and my eyes slightly widened at her sad expression. Anyone passing by can tell that things between us were going to be akward.

"Y/n.... I'm so sorry about tomoe, He's always treating you so horribly and I always never do anything about it. I just hope it doesn't get to the point where you leave again... I was scared you were gone forever"
