Request Ot3 fic where Uzu and Houka act like awkward dorks to try to get their child to stop crying and Ryuko looks on like "I married these dorks", requested by uzuisafuckingpansage --- Ryuko let a sigh pass through her lips as she set her mug of coffee down. Another tired sigh escaped her lips as she turned her head over to the living room. Her eyes landed on the crib in the room, the infant inside the crib crying. She smiled softly and rose to her feet. Before her butt could even get out of the chair she was sitting in, a pair of two figures quickly entered the room, stunning Ryuko slightly. She snapped herself out of her trance, seeing Houka and Uzu tend to the infant, the two of them babbling softly to the crying baby. The dark haired girl blinked, stunned by their sudden appearance. They were upstairs no less than a minute ago, each in their individual rooms. "How the hell did they get down here so fast?" Ryuko grumbled to herself. She shook her head and approached the pair. "Hey, I can take her off your hands, guys." Ryuko offered. Uzu glanced over his shoulder, sending a grin in Ryuko's direction. "It's no problem, Ryuko! We got it!" Uzu told her, his grin growing as he turned back to the child. Ryuko rolled her eyes as she sat back down on her chair, crossing her arms over her chest as she watched Uzu and Houka. It was great that they were both so involved in Seika's life, but Ryuko needed to be a part of it as well. They took care of Seika so much more often than Ryuko did, because they both wanted to help and make sure that Ryuko wasn't stressed with the baby. But because of their frequent help, Ryuko found herself sitting idly by most of the time. She watched Uzu reached into the crib, pulling the child out. "Now, now, Seika, why are you crying?" Uzu asked as he gently rocked the girl in his arms. Houka chuckled slightly as he adjusted his glasses, his eyes moving over to look at the other male. "You may be Ryuko's boyfriend, but I'm Seika's biological father. I think I should be the one to hold her." He reasoned with a light laugh, taking the dark blue haired girl into his arms. He turned his back to Uzu, positioning Seika against his chest, the girl's head resting on his shoulder. Uzu pouted, jutting his lip out as he leaned down and looked at Seika. Uzu squished his cheeks together, pursing his lips together as he squinted at Seika. His nose crinkled as he tried to make a funny face for the girl, in hopes of stopping her tears. It didn't do much, but it did elicit a snicker from Ryuko. "That doesn't sound very fair if you're the only one who gets to hold her because you're related by blood."Uzu grumbled as he rose to his full height, crossing his arms over his chest. "Then the only girl I get to hold in this house is Ryuko just because she's my girlfriend." Uzu muttered. Ryuko shot a glare towards Uzu and Houka. "What am I, a consolation prize?" She grumbled. Uzu blinked in surprise and turned to Ryuko. "Course not, babe!" He amended as he walked over to her, a smirk on his lips as he leaned down to kiss her. She chuckled against his lips and pulled away when Seika began crying louder. Houka chuckled turning towards Ryuko and Uzu. The blue haired male rubbed soothing circles on the Seika's back, shushing her gently. "Aww, what's wrong, Seika? Is the sight of the monkey kissing mommy upsetting you?" Houka teased, glancing over at the pair of former delinquents. Ryuko bit back a grin as Uzu stepped aside, letting her rise to her feet. Seika cried louder and Ryuko hurried over to the girl. Ryuko shushed the infant, taking her into her arms. She sighed lightly as she held Seika against her chest, similar to the way that Houka was holding her. "What's wrong, Seika?" Ryuko murmured, kissing the girl's temple. Houka and Uzu followed behind Ryuko, their eyes on Seika as she cried. Houka and Ryuko stopped in their tracks when they heard Uzu blow a raspberry. They both turned to Uzu, catching the male with his tongue out. Ryuko eyed him curiously, her hand rubbing small circles on Seika's back. "Um... What are you doing, Uzu?" She asked him. Uzu blinked. "Makin' funny faces... I thought maybe it would calm Seika down." He admitted, his tongue still out. The dark haired woman smiled lightly as she turned her back to Uzu and Houka once more so Seika could look at them. "Try it! see what happens." Ryuko encouraged. The two males looked at such other curiously before they turned back to Seika, their faces contorting into what they thought would make Seika laugh or at least calm down. Seika's cries stopped temporarily, changing into soft whimpers as she watched Uzu and Houka make odd faces. Tears sat on the corners of Seika's blue gear-shaped eyes, ones just like her mother's as the infant girl tried to make sense of the weird faces in front of her. A small smile appeared on Ryuko's face, hearing that Seika had calmed down a bit. "It seems to be working," Ryuko noted with an amused tone. She glanced over her shoulder, a snicker passing through her lips as she spotted the ridiculous looks on Houka's and Uzu's faces. As if by a stroke of bad luck, Seika began crying again, only louder. Uzu and Houka stopped in alarm, afraid that they may have made Seika more upset than before. Ryuko chuckled lightly as she hugged Seika closer to her, shushing the crying infant. "D-Did we do something?" Uzu asked nervously. Houka huffed and crossed his arms over his chest. "Look at what you did, Sanageyama. You made my daughter cry." Houka said, pointing an accusing finger at Uzu. The green haired male looked at the bespectacled male indignantly. "Me?! You made weird faces too!" Uzu pointed back. "She's fine. She's just hungry." Ryuko assured with a roll of her eyes as she headed for the couch, calming both the males in the process. She sat down, her eyes moving to look at the males who were still standing the living room, both of them looking as though they still wanted to help but unsure how to. Finally, Uzu spoke up. "Do you need any help with that?" He offered. Ryuko deadpanned, looking up at the green haired male. "Yes, Uzu. I need you to breast feed Seika for me." She answered sarcastically. "I've read somewhere that it's possible for men to produce breast milk." Houka spoke up as he pulled out his phone. "Oh, do you think I can?" Uzu asked with interest. Ryuko cupped her forehead as Uzu and Houka continued to converse about the topic. She looked down at Seika who had calmed down some, looking up at her mother curiously. Ryuko smiled and shook her head. "Your daddy and Uzu are losers, aren't they?" Ryuko said as she rose to her feet and retreated to her bedroom with Seika in her arms. FIN. --- [[ Yes, yes, I know it asked for a polyamorous relationship between Uzu, Ryuko, and Houka but I switched it up slightly. I am sorry. Instead you got a fic with UzuRyu and past HouRyu... I imagined that Houka and Ryuko had a one-night stand which resulted in Seika. Speaking of which, thanks mucho to ladyaxis for letting me use Seika's name in this fic uwu Anyway, hope you all enjoyed it! The fic was originally going to be longer but I decided against it because I started heading into some drama-related stuff and I didn't want to deal with that. ]]

HONHONHONHONHONHONmakes the bed in the mornings- Houka does, he's kind of the neat freak in the house. He basically takes care of Uzu and Ryuko, jkhas sole posession of the T.V. remote- Uzu usually does when neither Ryuko or Houka are in the room. Houka has an app on his phone that can change the channel, and he uses it just to mess with Uzu.stays up until 2am reading- Ryuko does, actually! She picked up a reading habit from her sister (headcanon of mine)is the bigger cuddler- Uzu, by far. He cuddles Ryuko the most.does the laundry- Houka, once again, the mother of the household.mows the lawn- Ryuko. She tends to split on doing the heavy duty chores with Uzu while Houka does cleaning.is better at budgeting- Houka, duh.instigates the sex (and who’s into the kinkier stuff)- *remembers it's an OT3* uhhhh, Uzu. Ryuko's into the kinkier stuff I'm not listing what though, lol

Ryuko cocked her head to the side, a sigh passing through her lips. Her brows furrowed together as she pursed her lips. He's interesting... Ryuko thought to herself as she glanced over at the bespectacled, blue haired male across the room. But the question she wanted to ask herself was why. Why did she find him to be interesting? He was just a fellow classmate, nothing more than that. Another sigh passed her lips as she propped her elbow on the table and rested her chin in her palm. Maybe she found him interesting because she didn't know anything about him? He was a mystery to her, she didn't know a thing about him. Sure, in battle, she was able to tell that he was the kind of fighter who analyzed moves and the sort, but aside from that she didn't know a thing about him. To her, he was just Houka Inumuta, Information and Strategy Committee Chair of the Honnouji Academy Student Council, and nothing more. He was the blue haired, glasses-wearing member of the Elite Four, the one always on his laptop or phone, the one always collecting data. That's all he was to her. That's all she knew about him. I wonder what he's like... Ryuko found herself wondering. She never had any interaction with him other than their fight together and when he would inform both her and Satsuki on the plan of action during the battle against the Life Fibers. How would they interact with each other if it was just the two of them? Ryuko's cheeks turned a faint shade of pink when she realized she was thinking of having alone time with the blue haired male. She stood abruptly, her brows knitting together before she left the room, walking at a brisk pace. She needed to get out of here. She needed to get her mind off that blue haired jerk. --- Ryuko looked around, her cheeks still pink as her blues eyes flicked about, searching the halls and outside the windows for anyone she could use to get her mind off Houka. She picked up her pace, moving at a very light jog before she bumped into someone, not noticing that they were there. She stumbled back, muttering her apologies as she looked up to find Uzu standing in front of her. She blinked in surprise as the green haired male turned to her, his hands shoved in his pockets. "Matoi," Uzu mumbled in surprise, his brows raising slightly. "You okay?" He asked. Ryuko nodded and glanced to the side, spotting a familiar head of blue hair. Her eyes widened and her cheeks tinted pink before she turned back to Uzu, a nervous smile on her lips. "H-Hey, Sanageyama!" Ryuko said, her gaze trained on the male in front of her. "W-Wanna have a match?" Ryuko questioned. From the corner of her eye, she noticed that Houka was walking in their direction, seemingly unaware of the world around him as he kept his eyes on his phone while he walked. Ryuko turned back to Uzu and pulled him along with her before he could give her a response. "C-Come on, let's go spar!" Ryuko insisted as she pulled Uzu along, creating a larger distance between her and Houka until she was finally out of the building. Uzu gave her a confused look, but allowed her to continue guiding him. "I'm not complaining or anything, but...is there any reason for the sudden need for a spar?" Uzu inquired. Ryuko bit the inside of her cheek before she forced a grin onto her face as she turned to Uzu. "N-Nope! It's j-just been a while since we've had a fight, you know? And I-I need a way to blow off some steam." Ryuko replied as she pulled the confused, green haired male to the gym. --- "Haah!" Ryuko yelled as she swung at Uzu. The green haired male smirked and blocked Ryuko's attack before he knocked Ryuko's borrowed shinai from her hand. She gasped and took a step back, watching as her shinai went flying across the room, clattering as it hit the ground, the thud echoing. Uzu smirked and wiped his forearm on his brow, wiping some sweat off from the work out. "Not bad, Matoi." Uzu complimented with a grin. "Though, you could use some work with the shinai. Your stances leave you wide open." Ryuko huffed as she moved to collect the shinai that had fallen from her. "That's how I've always fought! You haven't complained about it before," she grumbled as she picked up the weapon and moved back to join Uzu. He tossed her a water, which she caught gratefully. "Thanks. By the way, thanks again for lending me one of your shinai." Ryuko said, glancing at the male. Uzu waved his hand dismissively as he sat down on the bench where he had placed the coat of his uniform. "No problem. You don't have your scissor blades anymore and I wasn't going to fight you in hand-to-hand combat." Uzu said as he pulled his own water bottle to his lips. "You'd destroy me in hand-to-hand..." He muttered under his breath before he sipped on his water. Ryuko looked at Uzu curiously. "Huh? What was that last part? I didn't catch it." Ryuko asked. Uzu shook his head, a small grin on his lips. "Nothing, nothing!" He replied as Ryuko glanced at the clock on the wall. Her eyes widened in surprise before she gathered up her things. "Ah, it's that late already?! Shoot," she cursed under her breath before she ran over to Uzu, handing him the borrowed shinai. "Here, thanks again for the match, Sanageyama! It was great!" She said and headed for the door. "Matoi, hold up!" Uzu called. Ryuko stopped in her tracks and turned around just in time to catch the shinai that Uzu had lent her for the match. She looked back at Uzu curiously, spotting a grin on his face. "Keep it, it's yours! You need practice, remember?" He said to her, crossing his arms over his chest. Ryuko shot back a grin before she tightened her hold on her new shinai. She nodded thankfully before she headed out the door, hurrying home. --- Ryuko sighed as she leaned back in her chair, her eyes moving over to look out the window. She spotted a familiar head of blue hair on ground level, just outside the building. Another sigh passed through Ryuko's lips as she spotted a familiar pinkette move to chat with the bluenette. Get over it, Ryuko. She scolded herself, subconsciously. The pink haired band major and Houka were just friends, that's all she had no reason to be jealous of their friendship- Ryuko stopped herself mid-thought, her eyes widening. Why would she need to be jealous of Jakuzure? She had no reason to be! Absolutely no reason to be jealous. Ryuko mentally scoffed and rolled her eyes, crossing her arms over her chest. It wasn't like she had a crush in the data-loving, blue-haired -- Ryuko stopped herself again, her cheeks red. Oh god... She thought, mortified. How? How did this happen?! When did this happen?! She didn't know a damn thing about the guy. Sure he was interesting in character and admittedly attractive- "Aghh!" Ryuko yelled in frustration, silently grateful that she was the only one in the room. She looked around for her things and grabbed the shinai that she had brought with her to school today. Some part of her told her that she might need it later, and boy, was she grateful that she listened to herself. Quickly, she left the room, her cheeks dusted pink as she went out and searched for her green haired rival. She finally found Uzu on his way to join Nonon and Houka, more than likely to go eat lunch together. Quickly, she intervened and stopped Uzu before he could reach the pair. He looked at her, confused, as she grabbed his arms and dragged him away from Nonon and Houka, both of whom also seemed to be confused. "M-Matoi, uh, do you need someth-" "Spar with me," Ryuko demanded as she dragged Uzu with her towards the gym, the tall male almost stumbling to keep up with her. Uzu looked at her in confusion. "R-Really? I was just about to go eat-" Uzu grumbled as he looked over his shoulder at Houka and Nonon. Ryuko rolled her eyes and glanced back at her rival. "Look, if you spar with me, I'll treat you to lunch..." Ryuko offered and turned away from him. A small grin appeared on Uzu's face. "Fine by me," --- "You've been spending a lot of time with Matoi," Houka spoke up across the table, not glancing up from his phone. Uzu looked up from his food, chewing thoughtfully. "Hn, I suppose so..." Uzu said after he had swallowed his food. He and Ryuko had been sparring everyday this past week, twice in one day if both she and Uzu had a little extra steam to blow off. "It's kind of nice, actually. I don't think I've ever gotten one-on-one time with Matoi before." Uzu admitted, a small, shy smile appearing on his features. Houka glanced up, his brows raising in interest. "... Do you like Matoi? As in, do you have feelings for her?" The bluenette questioned, setting his phone down on his lap. A pink blush stained Uzu's cheeks and he looked down at his food. "G-G-Good question... I-I mean, she's a great gal, really. What's not to like?" Uzu replied, his voice quieter than usual. A small chuckle escaped Houka's lips. "That's true. Her determination is quite admirable, and she is attractive as well. She's cute, if you will." Uzu nodded. "Yeah, she's cu-" he stopped and looked up at his blue haired friend in surprise. "Inumuta... Do you like Matoi? Y-You know, with feelings and stuff..." Uzu asked, looking up at Houka. The blue haired male widened his eyes slightly from surprise at the sudden, unexpected question. Houka chuckled under his breath as he composed himself and turned to the phone in his lap. "That's a good question," the bluenette replied. "If you do like her, I can back off, Inumuta." Uzu said, his voice serious. Houka looked up at his friend, his brows raising in surprise once again. "You would do that?" Houka questioned, his brows still raised. Uzu nodded, his eyes serious. "Of course. You're my friend." Uzu replied. Houka blinked and let a small smile appear on his features before he turned back to his phone. "I appreciate the gesture, Sanageyama, but I don't think you'll need to do that." Houka shared. Uzu looked at the bluenette curiously, cocking his head to the side. "No? Why is that?" He asked. The bluenette peered up at Uzu, a faint smile on his features. "I suppose we'll both find out eventually, won't we?" --- Ryuko half-jogged, half-walked down the halls, her blue eyes searching for Uzu. She turned the corner, accidentally bumping into another person. She grunted and stumbled back when the the person reached out for her, grabbing her arm to steady her. Blinking, Ryuko looked up, her blue eyes meeting Houka's. He released her slowly, his fingertips remaining on her arm. "Are you alright?" He asked finally. Ryuko nodded, her throat dry. Why was it dry? There was no need for it to be dry. "I-I'm fine, thanks... I..." She pointed around him, her arm stiff. "I... I better get going..." She mumbled, her eyes still locked with his as she slipped from his reach and hurried past him. Houka watched the dark haired girl move, before he turned back around and continued on. Ryuko released a breath she didn't know that she was holding in. She stopped in her tracks and looked down at the shinai she was clutching in her hand. Her fingers were trembling and she could still feel the warmth of Houka's hand where he had touched her. Shakily, she released another breath before she continued on, continuing her search for her green haired rival. She finally found Uzu descending the stairs, his hands in his pockets. "Sanageyama!" She called to him, a small grin on her face. He stopped at the base of the stairs and looked over at her. "Yo," he greeted as Ryuko stopped before him. "Come for another sparring match, Matoi?" He questioned. The dark haired girl nodded, her grin growing. "You know me too well, Sanageyama." She commented as Uzu led her to the gym. Uzu waved off her comment before he turned to her, an excited grin on his face. "Hey, I'll race you to the gym. Loser has to buy lunch," Uzu suggested. Ryuko nodded, her own grin mimicking Uzu's. "You're on," she grinned and ran past Uzu. He chuckled and chased after her, the two of them head-to-head. --- Uzu leaned back in his chair, watching as Ryuko finished up the last of her food. With a content sigh, she leaned back in her chair and patted her tummy happily. "Thanks for the food," she smiled up at Sanageyama. "My pleasure. You won the race and I'm a man of my word." Uzu said. He shot a grin back at her. "Enjoying yourself, I see?" He teased and Ryuko smiled abashedly. "I am enjoying myself. Are you?" She questioned. Uzu nodded and leaned his forearms on the table, leaning forward. "I am, actually. It's nice seeing someone who isn't Lady Satsuki or part of the Elite Four, ya know?" He replied, a soft grin on his lips. "You're good company, Matoi." He complimented, grinning softly at her. Ryuko's cheeks flushed pink as she turned away, scratching her cheek sheepishly. "Th-Thanks..." She replied and turned back to him, meeting his eyes. "You are too." She complimented, earning a grin from the male sitting in front of her. --- Ryuko leaned back in her chair as Mako rambled on and on about what her and her family did last night. Ryuko had moved out of the Mankanshoku household when Satsuki offered to get a place for her and Ryuko to live together. The dark haired girl glanced out the window, her eyes landing on the green haired male that was standing outside the building, talking with some of the members of the clubs he ran. "Ryuko-chan? What are you smiling at?" Mako asked, snapping Ryuko out of her trance. Ryuko turned to her friend, her cheeks pink. "H-Huh?" Mako smiled and turned to look out the window, her eyes looking for what her friend was looking at. Mako's eyes lit up, her smile widening as she spotted Uzu down below. "Ohh, you were looking at Sanageyama-senpai, huh?" Mako inquired, turning back to Ryuko. "N-No, it's not like that!" Ryuko stammered. "You denied that pretty quickly, Ryuko-chan." Mako noted, her smile growing. Ryuko gulped nervously, her cheeks getting noticeably warmer. Did... Did she like Uzu? If she did, when the hell did that happen?! It's like the same thing with Houka! Ryuko sighed under her breath. She did have to admit, she had been having a lot of fun with Uzu the past few weeks. She really enjoyed the sparring matches and the lunches they shared together. He was never a boring during the time when it's just the two of them, and she genuinely did enjoy all the time she had spent with the male. She looked down at her lap, her fingers fiddling with her skirt. And then there was Houka... Ryuko stood to her feet suddenly, causing Mako to look at her with surprise. "Sorry Mako, I need to go think over some things... I'll talk to you later." Ryuko said before leaving, Mako waving goodbye as she left. --- "What happened between you and Matoi? You two aren't hanging out quite as much." Houka inquired as he peeked at Uzu, who was sitting beside him on the bench outside the school building, the tree shading the two of them from the warm, noon sun. Uzu nodded and tucked his hands into his pockets as he stretched our his legs. "Yeah... I'm not sure what happened," he grumbled as he looked up at the branches above their heads. "She said she's been too busy to spar as of these past few days, but when I see her, she just kind of sits around with this contemplative look on her face." Uzu said, glancing at Houka. "Contemplative? That's a big word for a monkey," Houka chuckled beneath his breath, earning a glare from Uzu. "Anyway, I'm sure Matoi is fine. She probably just has something on her mind." Houka offered as Uzu slumped further in his chair. From the corner of his eye, Houka noticed that Uzu had suddenly sat up, appearing rather stiff in posture. Curiously, Houka looked up to see Ryuko coming in their direction. Houka slipped his phone into his pocket, his interest on Ryuko as she stopped a couple feet in front of them. Her eyes flicked nervously between Houka and Uzu. The blue haired male immediately noticed that Ryuko's cheeks were red and she was playing her fingers, a nervous habit of hers. "U-Uh..." Her voice was softer than usual, a tell-tale sign that she was both nervous and flustered. Uzu and Houka waited patiently, curiously, for Ryuko to continue speaking. "I-Inumuta... W-Would you mind meeting me after school? I'd like to talk to you..." Ryuko stammered, her eyes flicking over to Uzu. "A-About something." She finished as she turned back to Houka. Intrigued, Houka nodded. Ryuko nodded in return before making a hurried retreat. A small smirk crossed Houka's lips as he leaned back and pulled his phone back out. "Interesting," he half mumbled to himself. Uzu gave him a curious look. "What do you mean? Do you know what she wants?" Uzu questioned. Houka chuckled and turned to Uzu. "I suppose we'll both find out eventually, won't we?" --- Houka peeked up over the rim of his glasses, spotting Ryuko coming in his direction. He smirked slightly and put his phone away, crossing his arms over his chest. "You had something you wanted to talk to me about?" Houka inquired. Ryuko nodded, her brows knitted together as she played with her fingers once again. "Y-Yeah, I-" she stopped when Houka spoke up again, cutting her off. "Are you here to break up with me, Matoi?" Houka asked, a small smirk on his lips. "H-Huh?" "Well, not break up with, per say, but more like...reject?" Houka asked, testing the word on his lips, a contemplative look on his face as he tried to find the right word. Curiously, he glanced up at Ryuko and noticed that her cheeks were stained pink. "You like me, right, Matoi? But you also like Sanageyama, right?" The bluenette questioned. Ryuko's eyes widened in surprise, her cheeks red. "Y... You knew?" She mumbled. Houka nodded and tapped his finger against his chin thoughtfully. "You had all the tell-tale signs, Matoi. You were strictly avoidant of me at first, but then you also started to avoid Sanageyama earlier this week. Your cheeks were always flushed when you were near either of us and you'd do that adorable, nervous thing with your fingers," Houka shared and gestured to the way that Ryuko was currently playing with her fingers. She looked down and flushed before she hid her hands behind her back, not wanting to prove Houka was right. The bluenette smirked before he continued on. "You also stare, not intentionally of course, but your attention would sometimes drift over to either Sanageyama or myself. I've even caught you staring a few times." He smirked when Ryuko's cheeks turned red. "It wasn't obvious at first, Matoi, but you eventually made me piece it together." He shared. When Ryuko remained quiet, Houka spoke up again. "You're choosing Sanageyama first?" The bluenette inquired. A small chuckle passed through Ryuko's lips."When you put it like that..." She trailed off, playing with her fingers once again. "B-But when I do go to Sanageyama, I don't want him worrying about me suddenly leaving him just because I still have feelings for you." Ryuko said, meeting Houka's eyes, her own filed with determination. Houka's brows raised slightly from surprise. "Oh? You'll still have feelings for me even when with Sanageyama?" Ryuko gave him a small, lopsided grin. "Of course, I may not have the slightest clue when it comes to relationships, but even I know that some crushes are hard to forget so suddenly." She took in a deep breath and exhaled before she turned back to Houka. "So that's why I've c-come for a request... I... I want to get it out of my system before I get into a relationship with Sanageyama." She began. "And what would that request be?" Houka inquired. The dark haired girl's cheeks flushed red. "A k-k-ki-k-ki-" she looked down at her feet as she stammered through her sentence. A small smirk crossed Houka's features, figuring out what it was that Ryuko wanted. He uncrossed his arms as he moved forward, closing the distance between he and Ryuko. The dark haired girl looked up when Houka gently cupped her chin, tilting her head up. He leaned down and gently placed a kiss to Ryuko's cheek. He smirked against her skin when he heard her gasp softly. He pulled back after a moment and looked into her eyes, his fingers still cupping her chin. "When - if," he corrected himself. "If you and Sanageyama don't work out... I'd love to take you out on a date myself." Houka offered, smirking lightly. Ryuko flushed but couldn't fight back the smile making its way to her lips. "I'd like that too," she replied. --- "Sanageyama," Ryuko called as she walked up to Uzu and Houka. The green haired male turned to her, grinning lightly. "Let's go spar," she said with a small grin. Uzu nodded and turned to her. "Sure, I'll treat you to some lunch after." Uzu offered before he turned to Houka. "I'll see ya later, Inumuta," he said with a wave. Houka nodded and turned to Ryuko. She offered him a shy smile before she turned to leave. Houka also turned to leave as well, a small smile on his lips. He wasn't going to be negative about this, after all, he still had a chance. FIN. --- [[Oh here's a HouRyuUzu idea. How about Ryuko developing a crush on Houka for whatever reason (he might be aware or not) and she immaturely avoids seeing him by challenging Uzu to matches as often as they can. Uzu thought she was doing this cause she wants to spend time with him and Ryuko actually does grow to like Uzu because of the time they spend together. And to finally move on from her crush on Houka, she decided to ask if she could just kiss his cheek to get it out of her system., suggested by ladyaxis So this was really fun to write. While I was writing, I developed the headcanon that Uzu is the ultimate best friend. I also like the idea of Ryuko not having the best idea of dealing with romantic feelings and whatnot. As for the ending, I didn't wasn't white sure how to write it/end it, but I didn't want it to totally be endgame RyuUzu, I still wanted to show that Inumuta to have a chance. I hope I got that down ._. (It was still leaning more toward RyuUzu so I apologize for that).. Hope you all enjoyed it!]]
