Hiii! I asked this question on the ‘Osana’ Reddit and you said you had more, SOOOO: What are all of your headcanons for the Male Rivals?? General Headcanons pretty pretty please :3

Haiii! Good to see you on here ^w^ & ofc!

(Also ignore the fact half of them don't get fun pictures or a gif I'm posting from the app lol xD)

General Male Rivals Head cannons!

Osano Najime

He is stupidly good at playground games (like rock paper scissors, go fish, etc) to the point where nobody wanted to play with him as a kid because they knew he'd win.

Favorite Pixar movie is inside out.

He actually is really good friends with Hanako. They both spend a ridiculous amount of money on blind bags together. And whenever Osano goes to the store he keeps an eye out for ones Hanako would like.

And Hanako has made him a friendship bracelet, which Osano being the tsundere he is, promptly pretended to hate it but still wears it as an anklet to this day.

Has helped organize fund raisers for local animal shelters and veterinary emergency rooms.

I feel like he has contact lenses and wore glasses in middle school. Whenever he's doing his judgemental stare his friends if he's put his contacts in that day.

He gets really into decorating and customizing his phone, like changes his whole layout, stick, phone charms, pop socket, app overlays, wallpaper, depending on what season it is.

Reads shojo manga but pretends to hate it.

^ his favorite is fruits basket

Amao Odayaka

One time he was at his great grandma's house making sourdough bread, and he accidentally slammed it on the old wooden counter so hard that he made a hole which the dough fell through to the cabinet shelf below. So not only did he break a counter he also had to scrap the whole batch. That memory haunts him and keeps him up at night.

Impulsively buys every apron he sees. He has a whole section of his closet purely dedicated to aprons.

Favorite movie is ratatouille, naturally.

He is uh, a little dense when it comes to social cues. He's nice don't get me wrong, just he isn't very good at getting sarcasm.

His favorite deserts to make are macarons and pound cake.

He has a love-hate relationship with the Gordon Ramsay show 'Hell's Kitchen' because he gets ridiculously mad at the condition the kitchens are always in. But he loves seeing the before and afters.

He runs the cooking club like a pirate ship tbh, he usually has to break up fights between the members. Except for Saki because she minds her own beeswax.

Kizano Sunobu

He has played many, many, roles in theater such as: The Wicked Stepmother From Cinderella, The Phantom of the opera, The Rat King, King George the third in Hamilton, and many more.

He can sing quite well, and took gymnastics lessons as a child so he could very much be considered a quadruple threat. (Singing, Acting, Dancing, and Acrobatics.)

Went to a preforming arts high school, but due to his family moving he had to transfer to Akademi.

His favorite animated movies are Leap! And Anastasia. Although he does have a love for old Disney aesthetics.

He has quite sensitive skin, being allergic to glycerin, so he has to be very particular about what products he buys.

Kizano plans on becoming a Broadway actor once he graduates, and because of that he is fluent in both Japanese and english, and is working on learning Spanish.

He really appreciates the club members who are stage hands, always making sure to thank them after every show.

While he is cocky, egotistical, and down right self centered at times, he does truly appreciate his club members.

He has some, interesting opinions on the other club leaders...

He likes and appreciates Amao, mainly because they both have an unyielding passion for their respective fields.

He hates and despises Asuo, because he finds him too relaxed and annoyingly positive.

He in fact does not know Oko exists.

Oko Ruto

Is very good at sewing due in part to the fact he likes to replace the button hole embroidery on his white shirts to a beige tone and the buttons to match his eyes, making it look like his buttons are eyeballs. Also because sewing comes in handy for occult/supernatural shenanigans.

Likes to visit graveyards to see if there's any intriguing tomb stones. Like funny last words, statues of the dead, intriguing ways a person died, ect.

^ he is very respectful though, only really approaching graves that are particularly old.

The occult club does more than just stalking students and summoning demons. they also practice ways to tell the future, speak to ghosts, birth chart and palm readings, and alien investigation night. (Held every other Tuesday.)

He watches BuzzFeed unsolved supernatural. Because weirdly enough true crime gives him the creeps but not ghosts and ghouls.

His favorite animated movies are, Spirited Away, Alice in wonderland, and Paranorman.

His father was a paranormal investigator, but has major Dale Gribble vibes so safe to say he runs an occult goods shop with tarot cards, oujia boards, future reading tea and eggs, and more now after being 'encouraged to retire'.

His mother is a practicing psychic who was actually brought in to help solve the murders at Akademi. She now runs an in store future reading service. Personality wise she's very much so like Jessica Rabbit, sweet charming, and a showman at heart.

Asuo Rito

This man seems like a golden retriever and he is, but sweet Lord does he not actually process his emotions. Everytime he gets upset over something he just throws himself further into training regiments.

Has like seven dogs currently and overall in his life he's had twenty.

Enjoys all sports but knows he should be focusing on just one, but he just can't pick. He enjoys track and field best, but that could just because that's what he wins the most medals for....

Took one martial arts lesson when he was ten and Budo accidentally broke his nose. Swore off martials arts ever since.

Speaking of which, childhood friends with Budo, although at first they didn't like each other because they were on opposing soccer teams.

He in fact does not know Kizano has one sided beef with him. He thinks of all the club leaders as his friends, except Kaga, he finds him creepy.

Favorite animated movie is the Incredibles.

Man is his and his teams own cheerleader, doing full on chants and cartwheels at swim meets.

^ has accidentally cartwheeled into the pool, DURING A RACE.

Mujo Kano

This man would make a better mortician than a nurse! He always gets hung up on fixing patients hair rather than filling out important paperwork.

Studying to be a pediatrician, specifically specializing in infants.

Has an unhealthy build a bear problem. He builds a bear every week and they have invaded his couch, bed, and shelves.

He is a walking disaster. Someone save him.

Osoro Shidesu

Chain smoker, no further elaboration.

He's weirdly stoic, like definitely not a party person, despite being a delinquent hooligan he reminds sorta like an old timey knight.

Rbf to the max, man came into this world with a scowl. There's not a single picture of him in his childhood where he doesn't look like a hell spawn.

Good at cooking in the same way a shady Denny's chef is good at cooking. Like cigarette in hand, cussing under his breath, while making the best funfeitti pancakes known to man.

It brings joy to his grinchy little soul to see a slug bug. Like in ironically giggles when he sees one.

Also thinks clowns are hilarious. In another life he'd be a shady circus owner.

He either has the cutest softest smile known to man, or the creepiest smirk ever.

Favorite animated movie, Up and lady and the tramp.

At his core he does believe in fairness. If a guy is harassing a waitress he won't hesitate to take him outside iykyk.

Hanako Yamada

Has gotten his arm stuck in an arcade machine after trying to just grab the plushie he wanted. The fire station was called and had to help get him out.

Wears keychains on his belt loops of his favorite characters like Keroppi, Hello Kitty and Mimi, and Happy from fairy tail.

Is actually not that social around those he doesn't know, personally I like to think he has some form of social anxiety which prevents from getting close to many people.

The reason why he dresses so cutely is that he figured that even if people stared at him, at least he'd know why rather than just being clueless.

Favorite animated movie is the toy story saga which he cries to every time he rewatches.

Really enjoys playing matchmaker with people he knows, for example in middle school he introduced his aunt to his homeroom teacher, leading for them to get married three years later.

Loves playing animal Crossing (and spending a ridiculous amount on leaf tickets in pocket camp)

Has an absurd amount of plushies, except he does know how to stack them properly to make it seem like he only has a few.

Is studying to be an architect or interior designer, he hasn't quite decided yet but he hopes to someday make homes that'll reflect his clients essence.

Has two pet hamsters, Hamtaro and Hamantha.

Megamo Saikou

Denser than cement when it comes to how much things cost. Not like business expenses because he's been trained for that, but he does think a loaf of bread costs twenty bucks.

Was a premature baby and had a heart problem causing him to be rushed into surgery nearly immediately after being born.

Would be studying to be a brain surgeon if he wasn't set in stone to inherit the company.

Actually rather appreciates the arts, such as art galleries and musical theater.

Favorite animated movie is sleeping beauty.

Likes to people watch, he finds it amusing to see how others live.

Is a horrible cook, like cannot make box Mac n cheese.

"Do you think she'll like it?" a particular ginger asked his companion, his eyebrows knitted together to show his anxiety and doubt.

His close friend glanced over at the item he was implying, the top of the lunch box was removed to display the variety of food inside. Raibaru took a second to peer at Osano's conflicted expression before her honey-gold eyes landed back at the box. It was [f/c] in color with a [fav/flower] on the lid, one section of the lunch was filled with white rice, a single dried plum perched in the middle of it. The other half section was filled with two slices of fried salmon, five cherry tomatoes, some chicken karaage, and lastly, tamagoyaki. Beside the opened lunch box was another bento, this one a deep red. The female could only assume this was Osano's lunch.

Returning to his earlier question, the blonde flashed him a reassuring smile. "Don't worry too much, Osano-kun. I'm sure [Surname]-senpai will like it. She liked yesterday's lunch, right?"

"That's only because she didn't prepare lunch yesterday," Osano rebutted with a sigh. His gaze never left the lunch boxes on his desk. "And besides, I did tell her that it was made by my mom."

Raibaru frowned at his negativism. "Don't say that; I'm sure she truly enjoyed your cooking."

Osano remained silent as he contemplated her words. She did indeed enjoy the food, but that still didn't settle much for the male. With a sigh, the second-year high schooler proceeded to wrap [Name]'s lunch box in a [f/c] cloth before putting away the two items on his desk. The martial artist refrained from speaking after her last comment and instead returned to her seat, a slight frown etched on her face as she did so.

There is only a small gap of free time before classes start. After the pair finished their stroll around the campus and checked out each club, they returned to their designated classroom for the time being. It was only them and a few bunches that were idly waiting for the school bell to chime. Drowning out the noise coming from his classmates, the ginger turned his attention toward the scenery outside his window with his cheeks pressed flat against his palm.

〝Will she like it? What would she say if she knew I made this and not Mom? Would... she still think of it as the same?〞

"Hey, mom. Can I ask you a favor?" Osano asked as he entered the kitchen where he saw his mother still preparing dinner. He dropped a plastic bag containing the items his mother asked him to buy outside on the kitchen counter.

"What is it, dear? And thanks for bringing me these," the woman replied, sending her son a small smile before resuming her work.

The ginger merely shrugged. Leaning on the counter aisle, he continued. "I want to cook lunch for school starting tomorrow."

Hearing his request, the adult abruptly paused and turned around to face her son. Her expression contained bewilderment at his words. The woman was always the one to cook and prepare meals for her son ever since middle school, also, she would mother the girl next door and bring her lunch as well. She knew that Osano had taken a strong liking to cook, but never once did the thought cross her mind that he would cook for himself as well.

Osano's opal orbs stared at his mother's, his determination and seriousness for this matter evident in those pools of his. He waited patiently at the adult's response, his heart racing in his chest as silence befell upon them. In a moment, the woman exhaled and simpered at the teenager, her expression soft.

"Let me guess: you want to prepare lunch for [Nickname] from now on, do you?" she prodded, returning her attention to her unfinished task.

The male flared up at the mention of the girl. His cheeks blazed with crimson as beads of sweat started to cascade down from his forehead. His heart skipped a beat and his body warmed up. He tried so badly to hide the reasoning behind his sudden request, yet in the end, it was futile. The baffled look his mother showed earlier was expected, but when she didn't question why, he thought he could get off the hook this time. Oh, how naive that boy can be.

"I'll be taking that as a yes then," Mrs. Najimi tittered at the boy's silence. Even though she couldn't see his reaction, she knew that he was flustered at the moment.

"Wha?! No!" Osano roared defensively, his eyebrows knitted together in agitation. However, it seemed that his denial fell on deaf ears.

"Whatever you say, Osano. It still doesn't change the fact that you'll be doing it for [Nickname]. Good luck then!" She winked at the furious boy, making his blush grow even deeper.

The male left the kitchen in deep thought. Burrowing his hands inside his pockets, Osano made his way upstairs to his room. The prior excursion to return home was draining his body of the remaining energy he had left, and just the thought of arguing with his mom would surely tire his mind even more. He knew that it was a likely possibility that his mother would eventually learn about his intentions, after all, she is his mother. But no matter how many times the ginger hides his true intentions and even argues with the adult because of it, he knows that she'll always support him.

That's one of the pushes he needs to pursue her. He uttered something under his breath... repeating the words that person told him a long time before.

Students filed out of their respective rooms and into the crowded hallway. Their countless chatters mixed with the echoing bell chimes were the only sound that filled the school building. An exasperated sigh left a certain [h/c]ette's lips as she fixed her textbooks and neatly put them away under her desk. She waited for her classmates to exit the room for a few more minutes, watching as they disappeared into the sea of people. As the number of students diminished, [Name] got up from her seat and trotted towards the back door.

Lips pursed into a thin line, the third-year female took large steps down the halls toward the nearest staircase. Just yesterday night, her childhood friend had texted her not to prepare lunch from now on. Of course, the upperclassman was puzzled by his sudden demand and questioned his reasons. But when she tried to press the boy about it, his only reply was 'Because mom said so'.

〝Osano's been a bit assertive recently. Did something happen during the vacation that made him like this?〞

The female frowned at the thought, her eyebrows crinkling as her [e/c] pools lingered with unsettlement. As she reached the staircase, she saw a familiar mop of ginger hair followed by a blonde walking up towards her. She abruptly halted in her tracks and waited for the pair to arrive at the third story of the building. Her gaze immediately fell on the two bento boxes in Osano's left hand, the other shoved inside his pants pocket.

"Hey, Osano, Fumetsu-san," [Name] greeted, a friendly smile on her face as she gave a small wave.

"Good afternoon, [Surname]-senpai," the blonde greeted back, bowing a bit.

The orange-haired male glanced down at the shorter stature of his upperclassman, an intense look on his handsome face. He bit his lower lips anxiously, his heart racing inside his chest and his face started to heat up. It also didn't help that he was wearing his favorite scarf around his neck. Osano never knew that such a simple act would be so difficult to execute.

〝Dammit! Why is it difficult to just ask senpai to have lunch together?!〞

"Osano?" A gentle voice broke the male out of his stupor.

The mentioned boy blinked twice and instantly, his coral-colored eyes landed on his best friend's confused expression. He tugged his scarf upwards to hide his incoming blush and thrust the [fav/color] bento box toward her, averting his gaze as he did so. "H-here's your lunch!"

"Ah..." The female sweat-dropped at his unexpected move and blankly stared at the item before her. In a second, a small smile was etched on her face as she gladly took the lunch from the ginger. "Thanks, Osano."

Beneath the scarf was a satisfied smile that the second-year had on his lips. "Let's go to the rooftop again. It's quiet there."

Hearing his words, however, made the smile on her lips contort into a slight frown. Her brows were knitted together with regret. "Sorry, I can't have lunch with you, Osano. I need to finish something in my club as soon as lunch starts so I'll be eating with my members. Thanks again for lunch. I guess I'll be seeing you later. Bye!"

After she said that, she took a small dip of her head and took off running right past the two down the staircase. Osano could only let his gaze follow her figure as she scurried away from them, his coral pools containing slight hurt at her earlier gesture. Even the blonde beside him, who was quiet during the whole exchange, was puzzled at the occurrence. They both stood at their position by the stairs, the ginger seemingly lost in thought while Raibaru had a concerned expression while observing her classmate.

"Osano-kun?" she called, placing a hand on his arm to gain his attention. "Don't worry too much about it. [Surname]-senpai must be busy. Let's go have lunch in the garden."

"Yeah..." was Osano's forced reply.

Reluctantly, he followed right behind Raibaru as they descended the stairs to have lunch together in the garden. Heavy atmosphere clouds over the pair as they ambled through the corridors to reach their desired destination, no words were exchanged as if to welcome the unpleasant silence.

But no matter how much the blonde martial artist wanted to break the depressing air around her and ease the sullen male, she had no courage to do so. All she could do was glance back at her classmate with worry flittering in her golden hues, a visible frown decorating her pink lips.

〝Why does my heart twinge in pain after she said that? It's quite... upsetting...〞

Heaving a small puff of air, Osano lifted his scarf to further cover his face from unwanted gazes. He pocketed his hand after, a pair of orange orbs lifelessly staring at the tiled floorboards of the school building. He trailed after Raibaru, albeit lagging and lifeless with each step he took.

〝Maybe I can't comfort him as much as I wanted to. After all, I was never like her.〞

Raibaru side-glanced at her companion, an indescribable expression written all over his face. It's been like this for the last minute or so, the boy staring mindlessly at his barely touched lunch. She had rarely seen Osano upset before, and it was quite disheartening to witness him like this; the Osano she was used to was rather effusive at times like these.

Cliche as it may be, nevertheless, it doesn't break the fact that the blonde martial artist had a crush on the ginger male. Yet despite those feelings she held for him, she restrained all of those in the pits of her heart, fully aware that the friend she had was deeply attached to a certain person — [Surname] [Name]. Raibaru was not stupid to not notice Osano's behavior around the upperclassman and by just that, she already knew about the male's feelings for her, although he wasn't fully aware of his tendencies. That's why she tried to lock her emotions away and help him in whatever way she could.

〝It will be almost a year since that day... I just wonder how will things turn out in the future.〞

Staring skyward at the fluffy clouds hovering through the cerulean sky, she allowed herself to delve into the memory lane of their predestined encounter at the hedge maze.

A certain blonde first-year roamed the grounds of the famous Akademi High. Ever since the student was still young, she admired the school for its grandiose reputation decades back. However, news spread that something horrible had happened a few years before that initiated the decline of its name. Even with this major setback, it didn't stop Raibaru from admiring the school — no, it only fueled her desire to attend even more. With her family consisting of martial artists for generations, the girl believed that she could bring change to the school and its students.

It's already been a week since the young female had started, and despite the much fewer students and almost dull school life, it didn't stop her from marveling at the building and its surrounding facilities. Cherry blossom petals floated around her as she made her way to the outskirts of the main building. With each brisk step, her honey-colored eyes stared at the beautiful trees lining up the pathway.

In a while, she had arrived at the hedge maze on the east side of the premises. Staring at the entrance of the imposing foliage, Raibaru decided to venture inside. The first year mindlessly journeyed through the maze, often encountering dead ends that forced her to turn back and try a different route. Her mind was filled with countless subjects, some of her worries and concerns as she entered high school.

It wasn't that long before her ears picked up several voices a few meters from her, breaking her out of her thoughts.

"S-senpai, please stop doing that. I-it's improper."

"Hm~? What's improper? You don't get to say what's improper or not. I'm your upperclassman, after all. You're supposed to stay quiet and listen to me like the obedient dog you are. Isn't that right, girls?"

Laughter and giggles echoed after the arrogant female voice. Curious and slightly alarmed by potential bullying, Raibaru walked further into the maze. Upon spotting a corner, she tiptoed to reduce noise and peered around the corner, only to have her eyes narrowed at the sight.

Five females surrounded a student, presumably male because of the voice she heard earlier. The known attributes that these girls shared are their blonde hair with dyed streaks, tan complexion, and shorter skirts. Raibaru crinkled her eyebrows in disgust. The male student was backed against the tall hedge, the one that she presumed to be the group's leader had her hand on the boy's torso, her body too close for his liking.

"Hey, how about we ditch school and have fun instead~? I reeeaaally love to play with your body~" she cooed, caressing his torso with her hand while the other slowly made its way up to his thighs. Her face was filled with lust as she stared at his orange pools with her half-lidded eyes.

The male flushed in embarrassment at being harassed in front of other people, while the said group was snickering amongst themselves, their phones out to capture the scene. Sweat covered his entire face, and quivering lips were pursed into a thin line. He watched as the face of his assailant came near inch by inch, and by instinct, he shut his eyes close.

But before anything could happen to him, the hands that touched his body were forcibly removed. Several gasps entered his hearing along with a soft thud. Warily opening his eyelids, his gaze immediately landed on an unforeseen confrontation — a shorter blonde girl was gripping the upperclassman's wrist. The four other girls backed away from the two, one of them dropped her phone on the ground while the remaining three were visibly shocked with their hands on their mouths. His tangerine orbs caught a glimpse of his savior's fierce glare which was directed at the other blonde. Unconsciously, he let out a relieved sigh, his tensed body relaxing.

"W-wha? What the hell are you doing?! Let me go, bitch!" The blonde upperclassman screamed, struggling against the shorter female to escape from her grasp, only to prove futile when she felt immense pain in her wrist. She flinched, and a bead of sweat rolled down from her forehead. "B-bitch!"

"Senpai," the word that slipped out of her lips was coated with venom. The addressed female felt a shiver run down her spine from Raibaru's tone of voice, a frightened expression present on her face. "Care to explain why are you harassing another student? A male at that?"

Blue eyes clashed with honey-gold ones. The leader, despite the situation she was in, refused to back down. She gnashed her teeth in annoyance, eyebrows creasing in rage. "Bitch! Who are you to question me?! Don't you know who I am?! I am the daughter of Rokuda Loans, Rokuda Mutsumi! If my father heard of this, I will assure you, you and your whole family will burn in hell!"

"Oh?" Raibaru raised a brow, her eyes narrowing and voice dripping with indifference. "How will you, a lowly, filthy princess of a loan shark, make my family, Fumetsu, burn in hell? Don't you know that even your father can't bear to insult our family? What backings do you and your father have other than money?"

Mutsumi widened her eyes at her claim, her lips started to quiver from the deadly aura surrounding Raibaru. Sweat started to gather on her forehead, her heart thumping hard against her chest in utter fear. The staredown lasted for another minute before the blonde bully clicked her tongue and pulled her hand back, which the shorter girl voluntarily released.

Dusting her clothes, she gathered her group and they left, but not before glaring at the pair. Once Raibaru ensured that the coast was clear, she faced the male. It was by this time that she was able to observe his appearance — short ginger hair, coral-colored eyes, and pale skin. His black uniform jacket was left unbuttoned and underneath was a salmon-pink polka-dotted shirt.

"Hey, I hope you're alright. Don't worry, they won't bother you anymore," she smiled gently at him. "I'm Fumetsu Raibaru, by the way. You?"

"I'm Najimi Osano. It's nice to meet you, Fumetsu-san," Osano introduced himself with a bow. "Also, thank you for saving me earlier."

"It's no problem. I can't let this kind of behavior go unnoticed, after all. It's against my values to just let someone bully others," she stated. "What year are you, Najimi-kun?"

"Oh, I'm a first-year."

"Really?" Raibaru's honey-gold eyes widened at his words, her hues glistening in delight. "What fortune; I'm in the same year! Then I believe you're in class 1, right? Because I'm in class 2."

Osano gingerly nodded at her question, a small smile etched on his face. The pair engaged in a conversation while getting out of the maze. The blonde martial artist never thought that she would end up saving one of her batchmates, nor did they end up being close. Nevertheless, she was extremely happy to have met Najimi Osano — the one that she can relate to and soon bears strong admiration for.

"Hey, Raibaru?"

The mentioned female snapped out of her daydream at his call, her attention aimed at her companion. "What is it, Osano-kun? Are you finished with your lunch?"

"Yeah... somewhat," he replied while putting the lid on his lunch before he wrapped it. "I just wanted to take a walk in the meantime — to clear my head a bit."

"Do you want me to accompany you?" she immediately asked, watching as the male stood up.

Osano shook his head. "No. I wanted to tell you that there's no need for that. I... wanted to be alone for a while."

"But... What if Rokuda and her gang decide to bother you again? I can't just let them bully you," Raibaru reasoned, a frown evident on her face.

"It's fine, Raibaru. I'll be fine," he reassured, flashing the blonde a smile. "Well, I'll go ahead first."

Raibaru watched as her orange-haired classmate left the outdoor eating area, leaving her alone in the empty place. In a few minutes, the figure of the male disappeared around the corner and out of sight. Releasing a heavy sigh, her honey-colored pools soon landed on the tangerine lunch box sitting quietly on the table. She pursed her lips, fixed her half-eaten lunch, and took the other lunch box with her as she also left.

〝I might as well return to the classroom and wait for him there.〞

Osano idly stood at the maze entrance, both of his hands tucked in his pockets as he stared straight at the tall foliage. His lips pursed into a thin line and his brows crinkled together as if he was contemplating something. He lingered there for a while longer, his body stilled like an unmovable statue... that is until a figure wanders right into him.

"Huh? I didn't expect someone to be here."

Startled by the voice, Osano whisked his head toward the source of the sound. There, a few meters away from him was a boy around his age; he had short, black hair and piercing dark eyes. Something about those pools of his gave the ginger an unpleasant feeling — those abyssal cold eyes. His expression was one of surprise, albeit fabricated. The male never felt this so uneasy around someone other than Rokuda Mutsumi and her band of gossiping leeches.

Osano's gaze hardened as he stared at the newcomer, his eyes narrowing. He remained silent as he watched the male take a few steps toward him. Stopping just a foot away from the ginger, the ravenette sported a friendly smile as he addressed the other student.

"Are you, by chance, Najimi-kun?" he airily asked.

"Who are you?" the ginger interjected, his tone as harsh as ever.

"Ah! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to appear rude," the male immediately apologized, bowing. "I'm Aishi Ayato. I believe we're classmates. I'm pretty sure you sit in the same row as me."

As he mentioned this, Osano recalled the person who sat in the middle column at the back of the class, just right next to Raibaru. He remembered that someone was seated at that desk, but he didn't remember their name or face — their presence was unknown to the residents of the class.

"Now that you mention it, I do recall that a quiet person is sitting next to my friend," he stated as he eyed the ravenette up and down.

"Yep! That's me!" Ayato chirped, grinning from ear to ear with his eyes closed.

"I'm sorry that I was a bit rude earlier," Osano apologized, bowing sincerely.

"No, no. Not at all! I did approach you first and immediately asked your identity," the other reasoned, waving his hands in front dismissively.

After he said that, the orange-haired male dipped his head. "Let me introduce myself properly then. Nice to meet you, I'm Najimi Osano."

"The pleasure's all mine," Ayato said. "By the way, what are you doing here? It looks like you were staring into the distance."

"Nothing. I just... needed to do something here," Osano replied, averting his gaze away from his classmate and focusing back on the maze entrance.

"Is there something wrong?" the ravenette followed his gaze as he asked.

"Well, you see, yesterday morning, I and my friend decided to take a walk before the ceremony started. We went here immediately and just explored the maze. Unfortunately, I lost my phone charm here and didn't notice that it was gone until I returned home. I was hesitating whether or not to enter."

"Why are you hesitating? You just need to retrieve it right? Although I must say, it's quite tedious to search every corner of the maze. It might take an hour or so just looking for a small item. Also, it is a maze, so getting lost inside will be inevitable. No wonder you were hesitating."

"Yeah... that's about it."

"Want me to look for it for you then?" the male declared, his tone abnormally serious. The light in his eyes disappeared in a flash while staring at the ginger's back.

"Huh? Are you sure?" Osano looked baffled at the other one's suggestion, orange pools widening an inch at his words. He glanced back at the peculiar male to see his reaction. "Lunchtime's ending soon. It's fine; I'll just look for it later or tomorrow morning."

As soon as the male's attention was on him, a bright smile was plastered on his previously blank slate of a face. "Don't worry about it!"

"But..." Eyebrows creased together in thought, and the scarf-wearing male sweat-dropped.

Ayato strode towards his classmate and halted in front of the ginger, obviously invading the other male's personal space. The two made eye contact, but as soon as they did, Osano felt a sudden chill down his spine at the ravenette's imposing aura. He tried to take a step backward but wasn't able to move his foot. With a racing heart, the male swallowed a lump in his throat.

"Please, I insist," Ayato pressed, his smile widening further.

"O-okay, then..."

And just like that, Ayato entered the hedge maze without any words escaping his mouth. Osano could only let out the breath he'd been unconsciously holding in, sighing in relief as his body relaxed. Wiping away the sweat from his face, the male then pondered about what the hell just happened to him. He just wanted to take a nice walk without anyone disturbing him to clear his thoughts but instead, he encountered a rather peculiar guy who happened to be his classmate.

〝He's creepy... I think it's better if I stay away from him from now on. But...〞

"Is this the charm you're looking for?" Ayato asked upon returning from the innards of the maze, a familiar phone charm hanging in between his fingers.

"Huh? You've...found it?" upon hearing his voice, Osano glanced up to see Ayato beside him. Disbelief was seen on his face.

〝It's only been 10 minutes and he already found it?〞

Pushing his body away from the hedge wall he was leaning against, Osano took the item from Ayato's hand and examined it. Indeed, it was his lost charm from yesterday. A relieved sigh escaped his mouth at the sight of his treasured item. He immediately fished out his phone from his pocket and strapped the cat charm on it, ensuring that it wouldn't fall off again.

"Yep! It was lying on the ground in the middle of the maze. Honestly, it was straining my eyes while I was searching for it," the ravenette commented, massaging his nape.

Osano bowed in gratitude, the earlier impression he had on Ayato beginning to fade away. "Thanks a lot, Aishi-kun. And sorry for making you do this."

"No, it's fine. I did insist, after all," the boy, once again, dismissed.

"Yeah," was all Osano could say in reply, his voice soft.

Ayato's sharp gaze caught the ginger's expression — it was full of adoration for the recently found item as if it held sentimental value. The ravenette couldn't comprehend why would he act this way, unless... The thought whizzed past his mind for a second before it disappeared, however, that left an awful taste for the male. Osano's slim fingers gently grazed the outline of his belongings, his thumb brushing past a bump on the surface, unknown of what it was.

"In exchange..." Ayato spoke up, breaking the peaceful silence. He successfully gained the ginger's attention and continued. "May I become your friend?"

"Huh?" Osano blinked in confusion.

"Well, you see, I had no friends when I started high school here. I was lonely during my first year since I had no one to talk to. And then my second year came and saw you and the blonde girl and I was thinking, 'They seemed friendly and they're my seatmates. Why not try to talk to them?'. I was fortunate enough to even meet you here, Najimi-kun. I hope you consider being my friend," he explained, a slight frown resting on his lips.

"Well..."

Noticing the hesitation and skepticism in the male's voice, the black-tressed student sighed out loud, a sullen expression present on his face. "Though it's fine if you decline. I just thought you needed a best buddy. You seem to only have a female friend and no male friends. It'll be quite the bummer if you don't have any friends of your gender."

Tugging on his polka-dotted scarf, the boy considered the request. It's true that Ayato was acting creepy and weird and that he was freaked out by him at first impression, but...maybe that's just how he was. Maybe he just wanted to have friends to get along with despite his nature. Somehow, Osano felt guilty for rejecting him especially when he offered to help him retrieve his lost phone charm. As he observed the male, he could subconsciously see part of himself in the ravenette — a pitiful, lonely child.

It took the male a minute to finally give in to Ayato's persuasion, albeit reluctant. "Well, I guess it won't be that bad."

"Is that a yes then?" Ayato questioned expectantly.

"Yeah."

"Thanks a lot for accepting me as your friend, Najimi-kun! I hope we get along more from now on!" elated by his answer, Ayato bowed a full 90 degrees.

"Yeah, you too, Aishi-kun," as if influenced by the other student's happiness, Osano mustered up a small smile.

〝Maybe I misjudged him... maybe it's not that bad to actually have Aishi-kun as my only male friend.〞

Unbeknownst to the ginger, Ayato sported a sinister smile hidden away from the male's gaze. Both corners of his lips were stretched further across his face, accentuating his wicked smirk and twisted personality. A tinge of scarlet adorned his otherwise abyssal hues, the brightness glowing underneath the shadows.

〝Ah~ Najimi-kun, Najimi-kun~ The fun has yet to get started~ I hope you prepare yourself soon~〞
