Love Fest!

"H-hi!" Kotoko shyly said.

"I wonder what do you need from me? You've been waiting for me earlier, right?" He asked with slight suspicions.

Hiroto knew from the start that someone was following them. After his girlfriend's returned home, he immediately runs towards the back of the person spying and saw a person he was acquainted with. He just wondered what she wanted since their meeting was so sudden in the past and he only helped since she was in a pinch. It wasn't something like a debt to repay since he thought she was really in need in that dire situation.

'Is she the type who instantly falls in love with the person who saved her? That's unreal..' He shook his head and removed the idea since it wasn't a good conclusion.

Kotoko calmed herself but it didn't lessen her excited reddened face. 'So he knew that I was following all the time?' She thought inwardly while gazing at his serious face that was contemplating on her things.

Kotoko stood up and asked him curiously, "How did you know?" She was really careful with her stalking and though he won't know she was there but still got spotted.

'Maybe she wanted another thing?' He wanted to rule out another possibility, Umi, and on the other hand, was already something that was giving him headaches if he adds this girl to the trouble list, then it would be a double headache.

Hiroto wryly and answered, "I saw you earlier at the school besides I just felt someone was following me based on my instinct and you didn't hide when you waited at the school gate." Resting his arms on his shoulders nonchalantly.

"That's not convincing at all!" Kotoko pouted and crossed her arms. She wanted to know his life and she was curious about the entirety of him, everything! That was why she kept spying him even though he had a girlfriend. As a delinquent girl that everyone hated, she knew that this man won't betray her. It was something like her women's instinct, and even if he was already with someone. She won't care since she was that type of person, but talking to her was kinda mind wrecking. It was her first time falling in love, and so she was persistent in the idea.

Hiroto said with a slightly serious face, "So why are you looking for me?" He looked at the girl who was wearing a gyaru outfit that had an incongruent shy expression.

"I-I just want to see my savior's school, that's all!" Kotoko said crossed arms and looked at the side.

"Really? I thought..." He rubbed his chin and stopped. She was after-all knew the delinquents and had some dealings with their things and thought she needs some hand but.

'Well, I don't think she has a bad motive and it might be just that...' He thought, he knew that she wasn't a bad girl, her dealings in the past were because she saved someone from the delinquents and can't help it.

"Was you followed by those guys again? Were they still in the hospital?" He asked. She explained that they were still bedridden thanks to his beating. Their family can't keep up with expenses, so it only made worse for them.

She didn't say that she was still fighting other people because it will make his impression of her turn worse.

"Yes, they had been there, without hope of easily recovering." She smiled and didn't seem to care that they were talking about the delinquents to get better.

'I hope they don't recover though.' She balled her fist at the back of her body not letting it show to him.

"That's expected, but it's something they deserve." He felt some trouble might come towards him. Even if he felt bad for doing the things to the person, but those are what they deserve. If he wasn't on the scene, this girl in front of him might get r.a.p.ed continuously. She might suicide because of stress and the experience will be detrimental to her mental health.

'Thankfully I was there.' He sighed in relief.

'He's ruthless and I like it!' Kotoko had some lights in her eyes and didn't seem to care that she was nearly got taken by the delinquents.

"But why are you still wearing a getup like that? Didn't I tell you to move away yourself from the evil society? You know, you will be in trouble if someone noticed your beauty." He said. Kotoko coincidentally saves someone from the gangs but if it was people that had a more ruthless personality than it will be her end.

He looked around and saw many people looking at them. Some are whispering with each other, and they knew Kotoko since they were attending the same school.

'He called me a beauty!' She felt elated as butterflies flooded her stomach and gaze at him with some hearts floating at her eyes.

Some people saw the commotion as they subconsciously look at their direction.

"Look at that handsome guy, I feel bad I think this is the end of him." Girl A said feeling down.

"Yeah, I wanted to protect him but, I am too scared to fight her.." Girl B whispered. Her friend rubbed her eyes and shouted.

"Am I seeing things? That's Hiroto-sama! Don't you realize!?" Girl C shouted loud before hurrying towards him while instantly getting a notebook from her bag.

"Eh?! Your right!!" Girl A realized and look towards the stupefied two.

"How come my eyes got deceived!" Girl B surprised that she saw her idol in this place.

"Hiroto-sama! Can I get your autograph!" Girl C inclined her head energetically in front of him. They seem to forget about Kotoko who was near him and just asked him straightly.

Hiroto felt leaving as the situation might turn worse. But there were only a few people nearby, so he entertained his fans while Kotoko patiently waited at the side. Meanwhile, talking to them, he got informed by the others and whispered not to approached the delinquent since she was a bad girl. They study at the same school as Kotoko and they can't help but inform him about the gossips she had.

"Don't approach her Hiroto-sama, she liked to bully and beat people up." Girl C whispered.

"Look at that attire she had, she had bad rumors surrounding her." Girl B whispered as she inclined to his ears and pointed towards Kotoko who had gnashed her teeth. Feeling furious about this herd of fans.

"They said she was a used-good." Girl A whispered that he can only and her friends hear. Her friends nodded furiously.

He finally understands her situation. 'She's being misunderstood?' He knew she wasn't bad and only got misunderstood by others.

After saying goodbye to the unwilling fans while they tried to stop him from approaching her. He immediately made his escape and races towards Kotoko and hold her hands as they run away from the somewhat mindless fans.

"She's not bad, people only declared what they heard because that's what the already believed in." He said out loud as he looked back to them. But the others didn't care about what he said, only the girl he grasped seemed to blush furiously while a radiant smile made way to her beautiful face.

"Wait up! Hiroto-sama!!" Girl A hurried as they followed them.

"W-wait! I'm not prepared mentally!" Kotoko in a low tone, but it seems he didn't hear her unconscious let out, as she sighed in relief.

'Isn't he angry at me, I'm a bad girl and he knows it was.' After all, he had seen her fighting the delinquents until she got nearly r.a.p.ed. His help during that time made a mark on her heart. Her heart beats erratically as she felt the warms of his hand.

"Don't get near her Hiroto-sama!!" Girl B shouted with her friends, trying to catch them.

"Don't escape!!" Girl C felt difficult to breathe as they kept running for them.

"Just come along with me." He said to her who was tightly holding to his hand. They tried to flee as they walked away from crowding students.

Kotoko blushed, but she wasn't able to remove his grasp, but she didn't want him to remove his hold either. A runaway situation that she always saw in movies. Isn't it exciting? They fled and left the following students, thankfully after a moment, they easily lost sight of them.

They went to a pretty isolated place and stood there. He got his black glasses and put them on his shirt before sighing. His popularity was kind of big now and it wasn't hard to deal with; he just had to escape their curious and elated expression and run away. He got some intel from the fans about Kotoko's situation. He turned around to face the delinquent looking girl that was rubbing her t.h.i.g.hs, fidgeting and feeling slightly shy.

Kotoko stopped squirming and saw him looking towards her, she felt excited while nervous about what will happen.

"What is it?" She lightly asked skittishly.

"Don't you think changing your appearance might remove you from bad rumors?" Hiroto suggested. She heard him and got disappointed subconsciously. Her squirming stopped, but it was her fault to expect something out of nowhere.

'I...' Kotoko hesitated, but she felt grateful that he had his mind on her situation.

"I don't think you like someone as the rumors that other people said.." Hiroto said truthfully.

"You think so?" She rubbed her fingers and felt glad over his praise.

"And I think you are wasting your beauty! Hiding in a getup like that. To be honest, everyone will hate you if you continue being like that." He said with a slightly scolding tone.

Kotoko's eyes turned round as her cheeks blushed before looking away from him. She felt really shy hearing his praise again. Since today, she heard him say that two times already.

"That's right!" He said with a resolute voice. She felt courage seeping to herself. Feeling motivated by her savior was so cool, albeit she felt much embarrassment over the situation. She got shy before hooking her fingers and fiddled it. Her appearance didn't suit her Gal type look otherwise, it still made her cuter.

"But how can I change my appearance?" Kotoko timidly asked while looking at him with an expectant gaze.

"Well..." Hiroto was kinda speechless as he didn't know how to react about her. With a slight scratch to his head, he replied.

"Just be like a normal girl? You know to change your outfit and stuff? Don't overthink it." He said plainly.

"L-like that girl you are with?" Kotoko asked and referred to the girlish girlfriend of him who was Maki, who had changed ways. From a tsundere to a wholesome dere, and felt that the carmine haired girl was a colossal enemy, but she still had some fight on her. She won't back down even if he's girlfriend earned the first seating place.

"Y-yeah something like that!" He agreed with some uncertainty. He doesn't want her to imitate Maki's Tsun reactions, and it might get worse to him. But she probably won't do it, right?

'Right?' He thought and shook his shoulder.

"Do you want me to be more g-girly?" Kotoko timidly asked again. He heard her question before wryly smiling, it seems this girl was friendly and trust towards those close to her but directly ignored those she didn't know.

"Right, so that others won't look down on you." His lips slightly curved upward. He knew the rumors won't easily die down. But maybe he can help remove some of it, albeit he didn't know where to start. Thinking of that, made him a little bit hesitant again and he sighed.

'I am troubling myself again... hah~' He looked and smiled helplessly at the girl who had an expectant expression.

"Really?" She tilted her head and asked cutely. He nodded and rubbed his cheek.

'I don't really care what others think about me, but if that's what he likes.' Kotoko thought inwardly and pumped her fist up high.

"I understand… I will match the appearance of what's your ideal girl!" Kotoko felt motivated. She decided that she will change the way she looks in other to take and to get small attention from him.

'I'll change to the appearance he likes and be the ideal girl he wanted me to be!' She smiled throughout her heart.

"What I like?" He felt more speechless, and now, he's deduction seems more concrete. Realizing that her intention was more honest, he felt some headache as he sighed.

'She's going to copy Maki? Or not? I f.u.c.k.i.n.g hope it wasn't!' He inwardly thought and had a slightly grim expression.

Suddenly, Kotoko twirled her body and felt excited before quickly holding his hand, he got surprised as he saw her serious expression that had a radiant smile but her permanent blush was still there.

"Hiroto-k-kun, thank you for your advice.. so see you tomorrow!" After she said that, she instantly removed her hold and dashed away from the place.

"O-oi! Wait tomorrow?" He saw that Kotoko was so determined to get his attention while she already knew that he had someone to look off. He scratched his head, feeling helpless of her eagerness to be close with him.

"Should I.... no, I don't want to break her heart, she's an unstable one." He understood that something mentally was pushing her to do those things. That was why she looked like a delinquent girl, and she might just be troubled in her family or something that can stress her out.

'Ahhhh! Tomorrow? and Is it okay like this?' He scratched his head furiously. Helping others in need was something he didn't want to turn away from. He had some criteria; it must be a beauty, or they were his close friends or someone he knew and after that, he will try to help what something troubled them.

But in that case, helping others will show that he liked to help other girls. He got conflicted and conflicted. He can accept that he had some feelings for the other girls but his girlfriend don't. He didn't know what reaction if he reasoned with her why he doesn't want to deny Kotoko's feelings and that might make her angry at him.

"Ah~, I deal with it later." He put up his glasses and head home. He didn't want to get recognized more today.

'What a troublesome day it was.'
