suna r. (part two) | part one
days have passed since the day you saw suna and the new girl together, and they no longer have to hide the fact that they have a thing for each other.
before you know it, they are the new known couple in the dorm. you can hear everyone talk about them whenever you're around the kitchen or common area.
"are they actually together?" you asked your friend when you heard other people talking about it in the dining area.
your friend shook their head as they took a bite of their food. "nope. but they might be close to dating now."
"oh," was all that came out from your mouth. you're happy that the fact suna got the girl he was interested in, and that she also likes him back.
but again, who doesn't like him? he seems calm and collected on the outside, but once you get to know him he can be a pain in the ass from time to time, but he cares a lot about his friends and he is surprisingly really sweet. you can imagine how much of a good boyfriend he can be.
"you still have a chance," your friend said as they nudged you on the shoulder. you burrowed your eyebrows at their statement. "i know you've never said you like him, but i believe he's the closest to your type." well, that's true. "and as much as i love them both, i think you do deserve him the most."
you leaned back and thought of all the possibilities. "what makes you think so? they're so close to being official."
"hm, let me think," they hummed as they gathered their thoughts. "she has only been here for two and a half weeks, and you've been here for six months. you know him longer than her, and i feel like at the speed they are going, it's too fast."
"he's rather erratic, and she once told me that she prefers people who have their plans laid out and is rather predictable," they continued. "also, in all honesty, i still can't see them date."
your eyebrows raised. "you can see me with him?" your friend nodded in response, causing you to sigh. what does this all mean?
"speaking of the devil," your friend murmured. "yo, suna rintaro! how much have you drank tonight? where are you going?"
he walked towards the both of you and stared at you for a couple of seconds before responding. "actually, can you accompany me to go to the convenience store? i want to get more drinks for the guys."
you can feel your friend's eyes burning at you. "where's your girlfriend?" you answered, and he gave you a smirk.
"oh please, just come with me, will you?" he said as he grabbed your hand to help you stand up.
you both stepped out of the dorm in silence, walking at the same pace towards the convenience store that was only five minutes away.
"what do you want?" you asked, turning towards him. he looked back at you with an unreadable expression.
"i actually wanted to talk to you," your breath hitched at his reply. you had a feeling you know where this conversation was going. "about what you heard around you, it's not true. we're not officially dating yet."
"yet," you repeated. "so the confession's gonna happen soon then?" you patted him on the back with a laugh. "i'm so happy for you man, congrats."
he gave you a small smile and walked towards the bench at the park near the dorm. "remember when i told you i was interested in someone?" you nodded your head slowly, starting to get confused. "honestly, i was talking about you."
your eyes widened as you slowly turned to look at him, who was looking up at the night sky. "but i knew you said you weren't looking for anyone," that was partly a lie, but you never wanted to admit it until now. "so i just tried to talk to other people, and now i've found another person. i'm sorry. i don't even know why i'm apologizing, or why i'm saying all of this. maybe it's because i'm tipsy- or drunk."
you felt like the dinner you had was coming up to your throat. you thought of all the possibilities that could have happened before two weeks ago. all the what-ifs started to play in your head.
what if i told you that i still like you? will that change everything? you almost said the questions out loud, but you considered the fact that he was drunk, and that it could potentially ruin his relationship with the new girl.
"thank you, rin. i will always like you, no matter what happens, i don't think it will change," you said as you looked up at the night sky, unsure of how you feel. "i hope you stay happy and get together with her. you deserve it."
