[Matsuoka Rin x Reader] Idiot (Part 3)

We didn't talk since that 'incident'. None of us knew what to do in such a situation and I tried to just forget about it. This was pretty hard though. We shared a room after all and saw each other at least two times every day. When we got up and when we went back. I tried to return later, hoping he was already asleep. It sometimes worked but this evening it didn't.
“Where have ya been?” So he was angry already? His words were more like a growl. What a pain. “Out with friends...” I wasn't even lying. I met up with some guys from class. It had been a nice evening. How surprising. “Tch...” So he was going to be like this again. “You jealous or what?” I laughed and let myself fall on my bed. This wasn't like me at all but I still enjoyed being like this from time to time. Being serious all day can be quite tiring. I had been told that a good education is more important than friends or fun. My parents were a bit odd about this. I still wanted to live up to their expectations so my grades were always the best in class. I used to spent all day in my room, studying for the next lessons. I've never had many friends. Going out with people my age was luxury. Still smiling I sat up and got out of my shoes. “I'm not jealous, idiot. I just...wanted to sleep but when you come back that late you wake me up and...then I can't fall asleep again, damn....” I rolled my eyes and nodded. “Sure thing, Rin...” Throwing my shoes under my bed I still sat there, watching him with that smile of mine. It annoyed him and I couldn't deny that I enjoyed it. “We need to talk, ____. I mean...about...” And then my smile disappeared. So this was why he had been waiting and this was why he changed from angry to his super cute 'shy' face. I blushed slightly but was able to hide it when I got up and walked around in the room like some idiot. “W-Well...We really need to?” It was so awkward I could barely stand it. I just wanted to leave the room and probably go to another country until he forgot about it. “Yeah, we do. I'm not sure what to do about this. I don't think it's good if it stays this way.” 'It'. What did he mean by that. Jesus Christ, couldn't he use different words. Words that wouldn't make this whole thing even more awkward? Howsoever, now it was my turn to say something. I wouldn't say I was well prepared but I had been going through all kind of scenarios in the last few days. We didn't talk so I had enough time to think of something in case we talked. “Well...There are two options. We can agree on just forgetting everything and live like we did before or we can...just...maybe do things like going out or something like that to see what happens. I mean....I know this sounds stupid but-” The redhead didn't let me finish my sentence again. “No, no. I think this sounds okay. We can just tell the others we're going out as friends and...I mean...we're not more than friends right now, right? We're not a couple so...this wouldn't be a date.” I couldn't help but smile at how cute he was right now. Compared to the usual him this was really nice. Gosh. I did hard not to squeal. Seeing his slightly pink and extremely nervous expression made me melt. “I think it would be a date...And I definitely think that we are more than friends now. We weren't real friends to begin with we just...” I didn't know how to explain this nor did I find words that could describe our situation. How does someone call this? Not friends but not yet lovers. “I guess...we can call it a pre-date. Like...something like a date before the actual dates. Just to find out what would happen...you know?” I've never ever been in such an awkward situation before. Never. This was so embarrassing. I just wanted to disappear. You cant imagine how relieved I was when he just nodded. He seemed to understand what I meant and he agreed. “Alright. I think that's a good idea. So..we are not dating but we are trying to find out what it would be like to be dating so that we can decide whether to date or not...right?” He took a deep breath after finishing and looked toward me again. I just nodded and smiled slightly. “Exactly.” He seemed to be just as glad as I am that this whole thing was decided now. “When are you free, ____? We don't have many classes together so I can't tell.” I went to my bag to pull out my calendar. “Give me your timetable and I'll tell you when meeting would be possible.” With a quick move he handed me his timetable that seemed to have been in his pocket. Really. He wasn't organized at all.
I held back a sigh when I compared our classes and as soon as was done I handed it back to him. “Well. Tomorrow your classes end around 3 o'clock. Mine end an hour earlier. I guess tomorrow is good. We have two hours until I have to be back.” Rin just nodded and ran through his hair again. “You're calling your parents every evening, right? I think I've heard you say this to someone else.” I nodded. “Yeah. It's not like I miss them so much I need to hear their voices every day. I just think it's something nice to do. We don't see each other often after all.” Rin grinned and let out a small laugh. “And they let you go to a school for boys? That's pretty cool.” At that I could only shake my head. Of course not. “Actually...they don't know it's a school for boys. I'm not sure myself how all of this is even possible. I applied for this school I knew that it was a boys only school. I asked them to make an exception and just hoped for acceptance. I got accepted but not because they make an exception. They just..somehow didn't notice. I don't understand how this was even possible but I guess I'm just lucky.” I had to laugh as well and started walking around in the room. “Oh? I guess the same way they didn't notice how this one female teacher slept with almost every guy in her class.” The redhead laughed just louder and my eyes went wide. “What? This can't be! I mean...what?!” I couldn't stop laughing at that. What an ridiculous story. “I was glad that the teachers are so nice but...I didn't expect them to be 'that' nice.” I frowned and gave him a provoking grin. I'm pretty sure it looked stupid. He was much better at this. “Oh? Sounds like you know pretty much about that incident. Were you in her class?”
Just like that we continued to talk about all kinds of things that I would usually not talk about. We laughed a lot and I learned many things about him. I guess this evening was a giant success because when we finally decided to go to sleep we both still had to laugh and giggle. I hoped that it would be like this more often because I wasn't used to having so much fun with only a single person. I really enjoyed it and when I finally fell asleep I even dreamt about a few of the stories he told me. I guess I can say that this was one of the best evenings I spent with him. We got to know each other and I'm pretty sure he trusted me much more after that. But howsoever. When I woke up the next morning he was already gone. I got up and took a quick shower before I got ready for classes. I couldn't concentrate at all. I was way too nervous about our 'pre-date' after school. I couldn't help but smile at that word. How ridiculous. Positively ridiculous though.
