Two weeks later, staring out of the window of the classroom, Kagura sighs as one of his classmates desperately tries to lick its own elbow. Back then, she didn’t had the heart to tell Akiko that she was so violently heterosexual that her mere presence kept people straight, or that she used to imagine Keiko as an NPC with scripted dialogue that repeated every few clicks then gave you a carrot, or that, at the moment Akiko found her, she was looking at the huge fucking balls on that dog on the park and imagining people she met with those very same balls stuck to their crotch. No; she still doesn’t have the heart to tell her. She never will. Because, after all, it ain’t so bad. Keiko turned out to be surprisingly thoughtful and caring, slow but super attentive with details, her parents stopped hesitating when they saw they weren’t just following a fad, they both became popular in school, and being in the place of the one heard and cared for was something she never thought she needed so badly. So; Kagura sighs, looking out of the window. Now she’s in a happy lesbian relationship. Completely out of fucking nowhere, but whatever.
This is by no means an isolated case; it’s a dot in a pattern that had been spraying for years. One of the guys was trying yoga for the first time and Akiko thought he was praying towards Mecca, so she got everyone to build a small muslim mosque in secret just for him. A boy kept mocking a dog behind a fence every day, Akiko thought they were playing so she got the two families to let him adopt it and even make a surprise party for it. There was that one teacher who Akiko thought wanted to climb Mt. Everest and still hasn’t come back. And then there’s Yamada-kun, who’s now balls-deep into writing a full length yaoi novel because Akiko caught him writing a friend a letter that just said ‘faggot’.
In hindsight, it had to happen at some point.
