3 Switch & Sasuke Share Something Special :)

Sasuke was called into the Sket Dan clubroom the next day by Switch who stressed he had something of importance he wanted to share with him. What on earth it could be was beyond his imagination. Since Switch had a vast knowledge of Kaimei school life at his finger tips. He concluded it would be serious so stopped by the clubroom during their lunch break.

'Okay Kazuyoshi. What's so important to call me out here?' He said as he stormed into the clubroom.

He was relieved to see the place had been properly cleaned up and somewhat restored to its previous condition. Although, the lounge betrayed telltale stitch marks from where it had suffered impact from the Pucky Balls' onslaught.

He frowned when he noticed Himeko and Bossun was somewhere else. Switch was alone before his computer terminal, which had assumed its usual position at the desk the megane boy sat at.

'Aah the brother of Bossun arrives. Good, close the door and step this way.' Switch greeted him without taking his attention off his terminal screen.

'What the hell you talking about?! That's the last thing I want to be known as,' Sasuke fumed. He did as Switch asked; closing the door and approaching his desk.

'So what is it?' he bluntly asked.

Switch faced him with his usual stony expression.

'It's about Agata-san's cousin.'

'Yeah. She's in hospital being treated for cancer. So?'

Switch turned back to his terminal, not giving away any expression on his face. It made Sasuke wonder if Switch actually considered himself a member of the human race.

'Yes that's true. I looked up data on her and found she frequents a closed forum hosted by a girl's magazine. She posted something of a wishlist to a few of her close LINE friends.'

Sasuke's jaw dropped at the absurd invasion of privacy Switch continued to break in order to be "knowledgeable" over everyone else.

'You accessed her personal account? Don't you know that's invasion of privacy!'

'Of course, of course,' Switch brushed off. 'Look at one of the posts on her latest feed.'

Switch wheeled his office chair back a bit to allow Sasuke to read what was on the terminal.

Sasuke hesitated with his brows furrowed, concerned. He couldn't suppress his curiosity at knowing more about Mei nor ignore the pounding he felt in his heart. So let out a deep breath and stepped before the terminal.

His frown relaxed into an expression of shock when he read her impression of him from their meeting at the hospital. Her post read like a diary entry.

My cool cousin brought his friends to visit me today. It's been a long time since he's done that. I'm still impressed at the interesting people he and Saaya attract. The girl they called Onizuka seems really sweet. She's very pretty. I wonder if Sōjirō has the hots for her. Probably not since he's too preoccupied in poking into Saaya's affairs. Talk about being an overprotective brother. The good looking guy with glasses is a really interesting person too; talking through a laptop speaker. I wonder if he lost his vocals to an accident or illness. The other guy my cousin called Bossun is cute like a kid. Some boys honestly never grow up do they? Tsubaki-san. Oh my. What can I say about him other than he's hot and so my type. He has these really cute, cat like eyes that sparkled when I looked upon them. His respectable image of a future salary-man really sends my heart racing every time I think of it. I loved the way his short bangs wisp across his forehead like they were suspended in the middle of a gentle breeze. I can't stop thinking of him and ache to meet him again.

'Is this for real?' Sasuke's words escaped his lips on the back of a deep breath. His face went beetroot all the way up to his ears.

'Hoo hoo! Seems our Student Council Vice President left a favorable impression,' Switch joked with the pitch of his computer voice going up and down to reflect his excitement at the finding and Sasuke's blushed reaction.

'So what am I meant to make of this! Did you call me here to poke fun at me, try to see me react like a fool?!' Sasuke growled at Switch, who seemed unperturbed by his reaction.

'If I wanted that, I'd have Bossun around to gee you up. Read further.'

Sasuke peered at Switch; trying to read the truth behind his eyes. He sighed and returned to Mei's post, which carried comments of encouragement from her friends.

One wish I have before I die is to experience the feeling of being in love. It'd be nice to spend some quality time with Tsubaki-san. Nice to be treasured by a good boy. I feel he could be that for me. Surely I'm not imaging his interest for me behind those lingering looks we exchanged.

Sasuke couldn't read anymore. It was too much to take in. He felt a wave of guilt; ashamed at himself for having to learn of Mei's feelings in an unethical way.

He moved away from the computer and took a seat at the lounge. His emotions weighing him down at the indirect confession. It was the first time a girl had expressed that sort of like for him. He closed his eyes and pictured her warm smile. She wasn't wrong with her analysis but he wasn't sure if it was right to honor those feelings being Sōjirō's cousin. Especially, when he wasn't sure she would view his like other than a matter of obligation.

'What do you want to do?' Switch asked with a more gentle tone of voice.

What did he want to do? Sasuke felt his thoughts and the feelings in his heart scramble together to form a big mess. What could he do?

'I don't know,' he answered and buried his head in his hands.

The loud voices of Himeko and Bossun burst into the room, causing him to snap out of his confusion and assume the strict manner of a Student Council Representative.

Switch's fingers did a tap dance on the keyboard; dispelling Mei's confession from the screen and replacing it with images of Liberty☆Maji.

'Oi Tsubaki-kun. You're here.' Bossun acknowledged Sasuke jovially and filled up the seat next to him.

'Hey Bossun. You should call him brother you know,' Himeko said cheerfully and went to make the boys some tea.

Sasuke stood to take his leave.

'I need to get back to the council chambers Onizuka. So don't worry about making me a cup,' he politely declined and left the Sket Dan's clubroom before they could say anything more to him.
