“You made me clean up your mess.” She states simply, but it was all she needed to - she knew that you’d known why Tsunayashiro had gone after her, and that you’d chosen not to do anything about it personally.
Instead of being embarrassed, or apologising, you shrug, taking it in stride as you lean back in your seat, resting your arms on the back of Shin and Kazeko’s chairs. “Well, it’s not like it was a hard one to clean. That glass’s barely even half-full, and you know it.” You say not loudly, but clearly, as you stare at not Kazeko, but Tsunayashiro himself, the other boy clearly getting the insinuation by the way his face flushes, but unable to retort.
Kazeko kept up the annoyed act for a moment more, before shaking her head, irritation already forgotten. On your other side, Shin, who had missed all of the subtext, simply looks between the three of you, confused, before shrugging himself. “Dunno what you’re talking about, but man, you should’ve seen her yesterday. She’s better than you are, Danketsu!”
“Oh really?” You reply, feigning surprise. That had been obvious from the moment she had corrected your form days ago, but… Shin wasn’t used to this stuff. He’d get there eventually. “Tell me more.”
“Well first-“
“Where were you yesterday?”
“Hmm?” You hum, looking up to see Nohara Tsukuya staring back down at you.
“I said, where were you? You and I have an agreement, you realise.”
“Oh, we do?” You ask, stroking your chin. “I don’t remember signing anything, or even shaking your hand, so…”
“Stop playing around with me.” She spits at you with a frigid glare.
“Sorry, can’t. Just in my nature. Besides, it’s too much fun to stop.” You respond, meeting her glare with a smirk and a wink.
“Ugh!” She exclaims, stomping back to her seat, as the instructor re-enters the room.
