Ow...
For a moment, my world turns white. I can't remember what just happened. Is it because I hit my head against something? It's aching a little, but the pain is fading, as is the white fog.
I blink. The fog completely clears up, but my forehead throbs. I can finally see!
See...
...
Why? Why did this come to pass? Could this tragedy have been averted somehow?
Whatever the case, the result is certain: I'm straddling a boy's chest with my arms planted on either side of his head, and our foreheads are touching, and I can see almost right through those big blue eyes and into the soul behind them, and... and...
"Uuuuu..."
There's no getting around it: this is humiliating. I'll have to go back and apologize to Subaru for accidentally lying, because I am most definitely on the verge of dying outright from pure embarrassment at the mess we've caused here.
"This... this is why humans are..."
Any train of thought I may have been trying to put together is immediately banished as Pyry's warm breath tickles my throat.
"IT'S A TIE!"Originally Posted by Pyry
Some self-preservation instinct that can sense imminent demise commands my body to move, and it does. I push with my hands and the world rights itself around me. For a moment dizziness takes hold and I pinwheel with my arms to keep from falling over backwards, but then the world rights itself and I'm standing over Pyry, for once staring down at him instead of the other way round.
Once more, as with the dummy, calm takes hold from within the depths of panic.
"It's a tie, so you didn't win!"
Yeah. Yeah! We got him! Sure, I lost my lunch, but he also lost my lunch, so the attack was a success!
I fold my arms, mostly to calm the shaking and the memory of warm breath on my throat as I try to formulate some more words. I cannot help but be aware, not only of those deep blue eyes, but also of the stares of everyone in the cafeteria. In a twisted way, it's an inverse of what happened yesterday with Colt and Xylia. Except, this time...
"Come on Hisa, Mr. Bully." I step aside and extend one hand, waiting for him to take it with those big, callused fingers, and get up like there's no problem. "This mess has to be cleaned up before class, or someone's getting detention for sure."
