The Sunken chapter 6

"Riku~"
"What?"
"Wake up~"
"What?"
"You're gonna be late for school."
"Today's Sunday, old man."
"Really?"
"Yeah, so don't bother me, old man."
"What? Don't call me that, I'm just 25."
"Get out right now."
"Come on now, It's morning, little girl."
"So? Get out before I hit you."
"So cruel..."
"If you can't handle, then just leave already."
"Don't underestimate my patience."
"Don't underestimate my strenght."
"You're gonna hit me?"
"Yeah, if you don't leave right now."
"Alright, sleeping beauty."

I really hate it when someone's trying to wake me up, even more when I'm having such a good dream. I dreamed of eating lot's of good food without even feeling a tad bit full. Now that's what I call a good dream.

Last night, old man and I had spaghetti for dinner, very disgusting, the noodles are so hard, I had to chew it for 15 minutes, what a waste of time it is. I was very angry, I did inform the old man of treating me to good food every meal, not necessarily expensive but great tasting.

"Are you really sure you're gonna work me through the bone?"
"Yup, you deserve it anyway."
"Don't say it like that, you're sure you gonna make an old man do all this rough work?"
"You're just 25, you're not old."
"Now who's talking? You were just calling me an old man when I wake you up."
"Yeah, so? I'm going to call you whatever I like."
"... So? What you're gonna do?"
"Read..."
"Can't even help me one tiny bit?"
"As I said you deserve it, so no."
"sigh, so lazy."
"Yes I am, so live with it."

Reading is a good past time, before you knew it, the sun sets.

"Finish cleaning, old man?"
"Yeah, can you help me buy a bottle of soft drink?"
"Fine."
"What would you like to have for dinner?"
"Erm...unagi."
"kay... Then buy a bottle of soy sauce while you're at it."
"Fine."

The unagi taste great. After that, Miku asked me out for a chat, something about Kaien.

"Riku-chan~"
"What?"
"What do you think of Kaien?"
"Brainless, why?"
"I think I like him."
"Oh? Why bother talking about him to me?"
"I can't talk to the others about it, they would probably says that I don't suit him or something..."
"Oh..."
"Riku, What am I suppose to do?"
"I don't know, wait for him to do something I guess."
"But all he ever does is call me a fatty."
"What can I do?"
"erm... Wait for him to confess? If not...You can try to be closer."
"Really? Should I confess to him?"
"I... actually don't like it."
"Kaien is very popular, I wonder if I should wait."
"Yeah, he was recently been asked out frequently."
"Well?"
"erm... If he likes you, he would reject all of them."
"That's the problem...I don't even know if he likes me...Tell me Riku, what is good about him?"
"erm...him calling you fatty?"
"Riku~~!!"
"erm...him constantly staring at you?"
"What? That makes him sound like a pervert."
"He is one."
"He is?"
"Girls tend to like perverts."
"I don't!!!"
"Really? you do look kinda happy about it."
"I don't! So, that's aside, let's talk about your relationship with Hikaru."
"Not interested"
"Riku~ Hikaru really likes you, don't you think?"
"Oh?"
"Think about it, he's popular, he's kind, he's funny, he's kinda rich, then why I ask you is he still single?"
"He has a fiance."
"What??!!"
"Rich people likes to have fiances no?"
"Hikaru isn't like that...Think about it, he constantly helping you out, he is kind to you more than he is to us, he stayed back just to walk you home because he's worried, Well?"
"Oh, so?"
"So...He likes you!"
"Impossible."
"Riku~ please, you should reconsider the current Hikaru you're thinking of."
"Why?"
"Because he likes you."
"What, you heard from him?"
"People tends to figure that out after so many hints were given."
"Oh?"
"You are lowering yourself too much. Hikaru likes you, accept it, blush about it, happy about it, and dream about it. That's what you should do!"
"Oh."
"Riku~ for a moment, just for a moment, consider Hikaru."
"kay..."
"And hey, Hikaru also been asked out a lot, you know? It seems he isn't interested in any of them."
"What, you asked him?"
"No...but I would ask Wakui to asked him tomorrow, and about his opinion about you as well of course. Be excited about it kay?"
"Fine..."

It really is troublesome.
