The loud music was ringing in my ears.

A sigh.

Why did I even come here?

Flashes of light passed my eyes a couple of times, it made me groan and squint my eyes, annoyed by the bright light. I tried to focus my vision to the glass of juice on the bar and tried to ignore both the loud music and the lighting.

This rowdy, loud place sure didn't suit my taste, but I've got nowhere else to turn to.

Another sigh, then I brought the straw upon my lips and drink the tasty juice to sate my thirst. Well at least there was something I could appreciate in this kind of place.

I could sense a person seated next to me, "Sagae, the usual, please." I heard the calm, and very familiar voice.

Hold on.

I glanced to the person next to me, my eyes went wide when I realized who was the person next to me.

"Namatame?" I spoke, in complete disbelief.

She turned her head, her eyes also went wide when she saw me, "Wha-Azuma?"

There was silence, we stared at each other from top to bottom, we were both making sure that we were not seeing things. It felt very awkward to meet her in a place like this, she didn't seem like the type to go into this kind of place, well neither did I.

"You-what the hell are you doing here, Azuma?" She finally asked, breaking the awkwardness.

I only shrugged, I too didn't know why the hell I was in this place.

She frowned, "You sure you're not walking into a wrong bar? This place..."

Oh she was going to say it.

"...is a gay bar, Azuma."

She said it. I mentally facepalmed.

Well, I guess I got caught red handed, and there was nothing else I could do.

"Well..." My voice was low and hesitant, for I didn't know what to say in a situation like this.

Namatame Chitaru was my classmate in Black Class, and we met at a freaking gay bar, what am I supposed to do? Act like I didn't know her? Ludicrous.

I sighed and scratched my cheek, confused.

"So you're gay too."

I flinched, I was still not used to that one word, at all. A groan escaped my lips before I proceed to drink some more of my juice, my eyebrows turned into a deep frown. There was a small voice in my head that still denied that one damn word as a fact, though my heart knew otherwise.

"...that's not all, you're 16, Azuma. Seriously, what the hell are you doing in this place? You're underage!"

"Sagae's here, and you're here too." I pointed at the red headed bartender, who was also my classmate.

Sagae Haruki, who heard me, gave a glass of-most likely beer-to Namatame and remarked with a grin, "I only work part-time here, ya know."

"And I am 18." Namatame said as she pointed at herself.

I raised an eyebrow. I didn't know that she was 18.

"Well, in case you don't know, minors are allowed here as long as they don't order some alcohol beverages." I pointed at Sagae, "At least that was what she told me."

"...I didn't know that." She gave a look to Sagae.

Sagae shrugged, "You never asked, Namatame."

Another silence, things became awkward again.

I supposed I wasn't surprised that much to found Namatame Chitaru was actually gay, she did gave off that vibe. What with the her getup and handsome-ish feature she had. What I was surprised was that we would meet each other outside of school, here in all of places.

Though I wasn't surprised to find Sagae Haruki here, that girl was practically working part-time everywhere. Anywhere I go, there was a big chance I would bump into her.

My hand played with the straw of my drink. I thought about my situation, and how I couldn't turn to anyone since I didn't trust anyone. But now that we all met in this god forsaken place...

Might as well.

I cleared my throat attempting to break the ice, "...So, I assume you come here quite often, Namatame?"

She brought the glass of beer to her lips and took a couple of gulps as she nodded. She put the glass down and glanced at me knowingly, seemingly curious to know more about me.

"I usually come here to relieve my mind..."

"Of?"

She shot me a look, "...Someone." She said bitterly, eyebrows frowning.

I stared down, fingers tapping on the table, "...So we're on the same boat, I take it."

"Oh? You've got someone in mind?"

"Sort of-"

"-It's Ichinose Haru isn't it?" She said curtly, I flinched and almost let the glass slipped off my hand and fall over.

I gave her my most disbelief stare, she stared back at me with an eyebrow raised.

Just how the heck did she know that?

"I know because I could see it, you are kind of obvious sometimes-heck, you look like you're raping her with your eyes to me." I swear I saw a smirk on her lips.

I gave her a glare and brought my face closer to hers, "Piss off." I growled.

Her smirk went wider, "Oh c'mon, admit that you are totally head over heels for her, so much you're confused and don't know jack what to do, yeah?"

I hate to admit it, but she was accurate about that one, so accurate it made my stomach churn and my anger raised.

I pulled my face back and scoffed, "Whatever." I grunted.

"Damn, chill Azuma, did you just came out to yourself or something?" I heard Sagae spoke.

Sagae got a share of my glare, and then she lifted her hands up, "Well shit, guess I'm right eh?"

"Interesting." I heard the calm voice of Namatame.

"Shut up, all of you." Was my response, now feeling completely irritated. I started to feel like it was a bad idea to turn to them.

I growled and stood up, I could feel their stare bore into me. I took out some money and put it on the table. I was about to get out of that place so that I wouldn't hear more of their teasing, but a hand held my wrist tightly, pulling me back.

"...What?" I hissed to the person who held my wrist.

"...Sorry, that was kind of rude of us, stay for awhile Azuma, let's talk."

I scoffed at Namatame, and took a seat again, I couldn't look away and grudgingly admit the fact that I was feeling completely desperate.

"Okay, so, why Ichinose?" Came yet another question from her.

"Don't know." I growled.

"Since when?"

"I...seriously don't know, okay? She's a girl, and so do I, and she makes me...feel...feel this!" I then closed my mouth with my hand, realizing that I finally let the desperation out, I definitely sound desperate just now.

Namatame patted me on the shoulder, "I totally get the feeling, you feel disgusted by it, yeah?"

I just nodded hesitantly, feeling embarrassed for letting that side of me slide just like that. I felt my heart beating fast, I was still not used to this feeling, this...feeling of both anxiety and excitement. Anxiety because I felt that telling other people about my personal thing is just odd, and excitement because I never, literally never, talk to other people about anything that was personal, I never knew that letting some stuff out actually made my head clearer, it was an alien feeling.

"...So...what should I do?" I asked in a low voice, I looked down, still feeling embarrassed.

"Dude, all you have to do is seduce her 'till she get down on ya!" was the very cheery voice of Sagae Haruki, at this I stared at her in disbelief.

"Sagae, what the fuck?"

Namatame sighed exasperatedly and buried her forehead in her palm, "Okay, Sagae, you shut up, and Azuma, listen to me-"

"What? That's what I did, and it worked like a charm!"

Both Namatame and I stared at her questioningly, she grinned as she took a bite out of a pocky which somehow magically appeared out of thin air.

"...At least to Isuke-sama." Sagae continued.

"What?" Namatame and I spoke in unison.

All Sagae did was grinning and she didn't explain further about her own statement. I wasn't an oblivious idiot, so I sort of catch the meaning behind Sagae's statement. There might be something about Sagae and Inukai that we didn't know. I was curious but that wasn't the main problem at the moment.

The silence went on for a couple more of seconds before I decided to just speak to Namatame who seemed to be more reasonable to talk with.

I nudged on Namatame's side and gave her a knowing stare, she just nodded, "...okay, so..." she cleared her throat, "...about your problem, so what exactly is it?"

"Pardon?"

"Haru is easy no? Unlike...my situation, it's hard for me to make a move due to a certain condition, but you? What exactly is the problem?"

"My family is...traditional." Was my bitter answer, my eyebrows furrowed, eyes squinted.

Her expression told me that she understood what I meant, "Oh."

"They want me to take over the dojo and all that, so...yeah."

"And so you felt wrong about yourself."

"Yeah."

Namatame sighed exasperatedly, "Well, well, it seems like we both have the same kind of obstacle: family." I gave her a questioning look, expecting her to continue.

"Well, my family's company and that girl's...is not exactly on a good term. And I don't know whether she's into girls or not anyway." She scratched her head and groaned, looking very frustrated.

"Damn, you girls got a fucked up family." spoke Sagae out of nowhere.

"Shut up, Sagae." Me and Namatame said in unison with a complete irritated look on our faces, Sagae only laughed and continue to do whatever she was doing.

"So...what do you think should I do, Namatame?"

"I could ask you the same thing, I don't bloody know, Azuma, I'm also stuck, that's why I'm here drinking." She took another of her beer with a deep frown on her forehead. I sighed, now feeling completely hopeless, thinking there wasn't a way out.

"Yo, your girls-"

"Sagae, shut up." We both said again in unison, we didn't want to hear whatever Sagae wanted to say because it was usually stupid and so it was useless to hear her out. We were too frustrated with our situation to hear any insignificant advice.

"What the fuck, I was going to tell you something!"

"Probably something not important." Namatame retorted.

"We don't need any idiotic advice, Sagae."

"Wha- dude, listen-"

Me and Namatame shot her a glare, "Nope-"

She cut us in, "-Your girls! They're here!" She said as she pointed behind us.

We widened our eyes, we didn't expect that coming at all, "What?" We looked behind, and sure, we saw two very familiar girls walked in to the bar, and both of them have twintailed hair.

Haru, and Kirigaya.

"Fuck!" Again we said in unison.

Our next action was unexpectedly synced with each other perfectly; we climbed and jumped across the bar and hid under it.

"Dude! What the fuck? This is my work space!"

"Shut up Sagae! And let us hide!" We both whispered loud enough for Sagae to hear, Sagae groaned and kicked both of us slightly in the shin, I hit her leg while Namatame only groaned and glared at her.

Then we saw her looked up, put up a really wide grin and opened her mouth to speak, "Yo! Haru-chan, Hitsugi-chan! Here for another advice?"

Advice?

Another?

I shot Namatame a questioning look, she only shook her head. Then we focused ourselves to listen to their conversation.

"Haruki-san!"

I flinched, I know that soft, cheery voice well. For some reason my heart was beating very fast at the moment I heard her voice.

"Hello, Haruki-san, sorry to interrupt you again while you're at work." I heard another voice, which probably belonged to Kirigaya, Namatame's close friend.

Then something clicked. It was Kirigaya. The one Namatame fell for.

I frowned, I didn't understand why would those two be here, at a gay bar. And what did Sagae mean by another advice? They've been here before?

"No worries! Bartender is supposed to help people with advices while offering them a drink!"

For a moment, I saw Sagae smirked.

"So, what's up girls?" She said as she poured two glasses of water to the two customers in front of her.

"Tokaku-san didn't caught on."

"Chitaru-san too."

What?

Namatame and I looked at each other with wide eyes.

Sagae gave us two a glance for a second before she spoke again, "...I told you they're thick, you should've done the plan b."

"N-No way Haru would do th-that one! It's...too much!" I could imagine Haru was flailing her arms around as she said this, I know her too well that I could practically see her while she was out of my sight, I felt like a weirdo.

"It...feels weird to do that to Chitaru-san." Said the other girl shyly.

Okay, what the hell was going on?

I glared at Sagae, expecting an answer. I knew she felt my glare, but she decided to just ignore it, and she had a wide smirk upon her face. I didn't have any single clue what was happening at the moment, and I had a bad feeling about it.

"Well, girls, unless you want them to get away...trust me, it's okay, they'll looove it, a lot." Said Sagae to them, I could sense a menace behind the sentence.

I felt Namatame scooted closer to me, "Azuma." She whispered, I glanced at her, I saw her giving me a knowing look, I nodded my head.

Sagae was definitely planning something.

"B-But Haruki-san...that? Is it really...okay...?"

"What if...Chitaru-san is not interested?"

"Chill Haru-chan, Hitsugi-chan, trust me, I know, they are..." She glanced at us again for a second and put up a menacing smile, "...most definitely, into girls."

I stared at Namatame with wide eyes, and she looked back at me in disbelief. Now we know where this was going. I gulped, I wasn't stupid, I finally knew why they both were here, and I finally understood what Sagae was planning.

I didn't know if I should feel happy, or angry because of Sagae, that manipulative bitch.

"And with that, you should do plan b," I was wondering what was this plan b Sagae kept talking about, but my question was soon answered, "just seduce them 'till they go down on ya! Oh and the best time to do it is...when they're asleep. Wake'em up hot and bothered."

That. Fucking. Sagae.

Both Namatame and I pinched her leg, but she kicked away our hands, we groaned in frustration. Sagae was the worst person these innocent girls to turn to. How and when did they started to ask Sagae an advice for something like this anyway?

"I guess...Haru have no choice but to try, huh?"

Well shit.

My face redden, my heart was beating faster. Was this what I thought it was? Will she going to...

"If you think that's the best course of action to make Chitaru-san realize..."

I felt a pair of strong hands clutched my shoulders, I looked up to see a very red Namatame, "S-Shit, Azuma, shitshitshit." She whispered, looking completely flustered and was panicking, she looked like she was about to explode.

We then heard Sagae spoke again, "Well then good luck, girls! I bet ya going to have the best night, ever! Go on, go back to the dorm and into your love's arms!"

"Thank you Haruki-san!"

"Thanks a lot, Haruki-san, we shall be off then." I heard a little bit of shuffling, they were probably standing up. Then I saw Sagae waved her hands at them, before I heard a couple of footsteps.

And they probably already went away.

Sagae squatted down in front of us, "Congrats, girls, I hope you'd sleep well tonight." She said with a very annoying smirk.

"Shut up, Sagae." We both said in unison as we hit her in the head.

"Ow! I was trying to help you hopeless airheads!"

That night was definitely going to be a long night.
