The Sunken chapter 5

"Hey, Hikaru."
"What's up?"
"What do you think about Riku-chan?"
"What?(blush)Why do you ask about that?"
"Curious, and a bit pitiful for you."
"You don't have to say pitiful. erm...I wouldn't say cute."
"So, you think she's cute. Hey, everyone, Hikaru thinks that Riku-chan is cute!!"
"What!!(blush)I said I wouldn't consider her cute!"
"That's exactly what you mean, no?"
"... Yeah, whatever."
"You like her?"
"huh? another funny question? no..."
"Hey everyone! Hikaru LIKES Riku-chan!!!"
"(blush)What?! Again?! I won't ever answer your question, I swear!!By the way, why you're calling her by her first name?"
"Hah, I just call her that when she's not around. Why, jealous?"
"I'm not answering that. hey, Kuro, you done your practice?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Nah, just asking..."

"Hey, still here?"
"What? Dying to treat me ramen again?"
"You wish. Is that ramen really that good?"
"Sort of, anyway, I promised to cook today."
"Really? You can cook?"
"Yeah."
"Can I come?"
"Yeah. It doesn't make any difference anyway."
"Haha, good. Time to go home?"
"Yeah."

I wonder if I should put more salt in this...Cooking is my past time too. Making my own food is nothing compare to dealing with heavy books.

"Hey, Dinner's ready!"
"Alright! Finally have the chance of eating Riku-chan's food!"
"..."
"Itadakimasu!"
"Hey, it's actually very delicious."
"You say it like I wouldn't make any good food."
"Yeah, sorry about that. You don't look like someone who can cook. hehe"
"..."
"Thanks for the food!"

"Thanks for having me."
"You are speaking weird things now, aren't you?"
"Really? Aren't you yourself acting weird?"
"Ha! I got to be grateful for you to treat me ramen. But now, situation change! Since I cooked for you, you got to pay me back ramen tomorrow.(grin)"
"sigh, Should have known."

Another good night without silly dreams, that old man cooked me delicious breakfast before school, I went to school, drawing flowers...just like any other day.

"Riku~"
"Oh, hey."
"Do you know? Hikaru likes you?"
"I'm not interested."
"Don't say stuff like that. It's the truth. He told us himself."
"Oh."
"What? just oh?"
"What did you aspect of my response?"
"Something more?"
"Then I'll tell you this. No one would fall for me, understand?"
"Why would you say that?"
"Simple, it's the truth."
"You know Riku, if I am a guy, I would fall for you."
"know why?"
"Not interested."
"Because despite being mean and stuff, you aren't like any other girls who would back-stab, gossip, two time, and so on. Although saying it kinda hurts, but I know if you fall for me, I would be really happy, if I'm a guy."
"I'm not appealing."
"That's where your credibility lies, dummy."
"I doubt that."
"Riku~"

Not interested whatsoever in love, besides, it wouldn't benefit me, so why bother. And having Hikaru falling for me is obviously a joke, it could never be true.

"Hey, ramen again?"
"You have other suggestion?"
"yeah, what about donburi?"
"Fine."
"Then, move your butt, we're going before it close."
