1. The Student Who Get Bullied

"wake up Ayato."

"Ayato, you heard me? Ayato!"

In the middle of the morning sun, a girl was trying to wake up a young man who was fast asleep in his bed. But the lazy young man just turned his head to look at her for a while and continued to sleep.

The shoulder-length black-haired girl with orange eyes and wearing a school uniform was staring intently at the young man. She pouted hers mouth and hers lips began to bulge.

"It's so bad that you ignore me!"

The young man was still lying on the bed, but being disturbed, he said,

"Give me another 10 minutes Nana, I'll sleep again..." After said, he covered the body with a thick quilt.

The girl named Nana was even more angry, she walked up to Ayato and forcibly snatched her pillow and blanket. The young man tried to fight back, but Nana was more terrifying, so he decided to relent. The young man raised his body lazily then sighed.

"What's the matter so early this morning?"

The young man opened his eyes slowly. And his eyes opened wide when he realized Nana was carrying a book magazine that was off limits to him It was Ayato's precious collection hidden under the mattress and he was already sure that the rare collection had already been sealed by him. But how could she get the collection?

"You,, Nana.. Where did you get that stuff?" Ayato's face became panicked and turned blue, cold sweat kept falling.

"Fufu, you are easy to guess, Ayato, it must be under the mattress, right?"

Nana smiled sweetly, but it didn't seem so to Ayato, this young man became frightened instead.

"You pervert, I will burn this indecent thing."

Ending with a cold smile, Nana burned the magazines one by one with flames that came from nowhere.

"No! My valuables." Ayato raised his tone, he felt a huge sense of loss.

The girl named Nana cleaned her's hands and looked at Ayato who was pioneering in sadness.

"You fool, if you like such a one, then I am happy to show it specially for you. You don't have to bother buying things like this." Nana murmured while holding her two chests that were not too full.

"Huh? You said something?"

Nana's cheeks puffed and flushed, "It's nothing, it's more important, let's go down, I have already cooked something."

***

The two lovebirds are now enjoying the food in the living room, just the two of them. Since a long time ago, neither Ayato's mother nor father cared much about him. They only think about work and never go home.

Ayato is also a victim of bullying at school, he is always ostracized by most people, considered underestimated and unwanted.

But there is only one girl who wants to be with him, she is Nana, she is always worried about Ayato's condition so she always visits him, enters and goes home together at school.

"Ne.. Ayato."

"What?" he said, stopping eating it.

"That's... It's hard to say but..." Nana seemed hesitant to continue, she seemed afraid to hurt Ayato's heart.

"Huh.. It's okay, just tell me what you want."

Nana took a deep breath, she put the spoon and fork on the table and looked at Ayato with a serious face.

"Does Sasaki still like to bully you?"

She asked with a worried and anxious face. But Ayato was disturbed by that stare. He was not used to receiving compassion from someone, even he felt unworthy of such a thing.

"Where do you know about that?"

Ayato firmly believes that he has concealed the fact that him was bullied by an upperclassman named Sasaki. He didn't want to see Nana interfere in the matter.

"You think I'm stupid?"

'yes, I think that way sometimes'

Nana stopped her speech, she adjusted her breath and words so as much as possible not to hurt Ayato's heart.

"I know every day your injuries increase, you sometimes seem daydreaming like you're thinking about something complicated, when you get home your clothes are messy. So what I thought was that you were bullied by the upperclassmen, because I also often saw you with them." Tears began to drip down her cheeks.

'Why are you crying? Who wants to cry is me'

Tears kept shedding even though Nana had tried to hold her back, but kept dripping. She looked at Ayato with a look full of sadness.

"Ayato I hate you who like to cover up problems! You don't have to hold everything on your own. There I am, you can count on me anytime. Or do you actually hate me?"

Of course Ayato doesn't hate this girl. He just doesn't want him to interfere, he's afraid that something doesn't happen to him, but Ayato certainly can't say anything like that.

"Why are you silent? So are you really-"

"Yes, I hate your interfering nature!"

Nana widened her eyes, she didn't expect Ayato's cold answer.

"But, I'm just worried about you."

"Why worry about me? Be normal like everyone else! They just look at me and don't do anything, it's a normal human act. From the way I look at you is so abnormal."

Stop! Enough up here please..

Ayato tried not to continue her speech because he saw that the eyes of the girl in front of her had filled with tears, but because the negative emotions he had endured for several years had been full, he subconsciously released him emotions to Nana.

"What exactly are you? Want to interfere in other people's affairs, want to help others, even to prepare food for people who are not even bloody. What's really in your head?"

The situation that was previously harmonious and calm has now turned gloomy and awkward. With teary eyes and flushed cheeks, Nana tries to answer Ayato's question, but can't because it would be very embarrassing.

Ayato was still waiting for a response from the silent Nana. But because the girl couldn't say and was petrified, Ayato decided to lift the bag and leave.

"I'm leaving now, temporarily, don't be with me!"

Nana looked at Ayato's shoulders that were getting farther and farther away, feeling sad and mixed emotions. Even Ayato hasn't finished Nana's painstakingly made food.

A rough sigh came out of his mouth and he expanded his cheeks.

"You the worst Ayato Didn't he know that I was so worried? I just wanted to help, but he said such cruel things instead."

"Even the food I worked so hard to make was not spent. I prepared it from 3 AM. I woke up very early just so he could eat something nutritious and healthy. Because I know for sure Ayato will only eat noodles, or eat other istan. But Ayato instead.. Ah, he is really severe!"

Nana yelled and vented her emotions in the living room by herself. But that emotion turned into sadness when remembering Ayato's words which were quite sad.

[Why worry about me?! Be normal like everyone else! They just look at me and don't do anything, it's a normal human act. From the way I look at you is so abnormal]

"Even he can say such sad things, what exactly is he going through?"

[What exactly are you? Want to interfere in other people's affairs, want to help others, even to prepare food for people who are not even bloody. What's really in your head?]

Nana wiped away tears and stared at one of Ayato's photos located close by in the living room.

"That's because I like you stupid."
