9Narumi heard his phone buzz from its place on his bedside table. Taking a quick glance at the caller I.D, he irritably flipped the phone open and asked, "What do you want, Kei?"
"Guess what, Naru-Naru!" The bubbly teenage boy asked happily.
Before responding, Narumi noticed the crunch of potato chips coming out of the speaker, "Damn it, Kei! Stop eating while you're talking on the phone!"
"Fine," he whined, "But you didn't guess what!"
Although he was only this far away from hanging up, an exasperated Narumi asked, "What, Kei?"
"I told Kiri-chan! Yup, I told her after school while she was walking home with Aoyama-san!" Kei exclaimed, his tone returning to its previous state.
Even more irritated, Narumi enunciated slowly, "Told Mussy-head what?"
"That you liked her, of course! I mean, it's not like you were going to do it!"
Kei then heard a loud crash. Glancing at his phone, he realized the call had ended. "I guess Naru-Naru has to get a new phone. Again."
Kiri was listening to her iPod as she walked down Aijisai Street. She was genuinely surprised when somebody grabbed her shoulder and turned her around.
"Oh, it's just Naru-Naru," Kiri said, relieved. "Damn, that scared me."
"IT'S NARUMI-SENPAI! Um, well, that's not why I'm here…" Narumi started off yelling then lowered his voice to a near whisper.
Kiri raised an eyebrow, "Oh yeah? Then why are you here?"
"Well, um, ah, you see…" he stammered, turning red, "I really do like you, Kei wasn't just joking around. But I am going to beat him up…"
With a confused look on her face Kiri asked, "What does Kei have to do with this? Wait, you like me?"
Narumi's mouth opened wide, "Yeah, I like you isn't that what…." He suddenly realized what had happened, "DAMN IT!"
Kiri smiled, the first genuine smile Narumi had seen in quite a while, "That's okay, Naru-Naru, because I like you, too."
He stopped in the middle of his cursing to look at her, "Uh… Seriously?"
Kiri rolled her eyes, "Yeah, can't you hear, Naru-Naru?" She glanced at the watch on her wrist, "Gotta go. Catch you later." With a wave, she was off.
"YES!" Narumi shouted, not caring whether or not she was out of earshot yet.
"But Naru-Naru! I thought you would be happy!" Kei complained as Narumi sat on him and started yelling.
Unfortunately, Kei still received his usual abuse from the hair-styling genius.
