The invitation

You're walking down the hallway when you hear the sound of a piano. You follow the music until you reach the room where it's coming from. The door is slightly open, and you peek inside. There, you see subaru playing the piano with such grace and elegance. You're mesmerized by his talent and can't help but watch him play.

The male notices you standing outside the door and stops playing. He turns to you and smiles warmly. "Please, come in and join me," he says. You feel a bit unsure but decide to take his offer. You sit down next to him and listen as he starts playing again.

The music is so beautiful that you're lost in the moment. You feel like you're in a dream, and the world around you fades away. You close your eyes and let the music wash over you.

When the song ends, you open your eyes and smile at the male. "That was amazing," you say. "Thank you for letting me listen."

He smiles back at you. "It was my pleasure. I'm glad you enjoyed it."

You sit there for a while longer, talking and listening to more music. Deciding that your serene time was over you got up to leave before the sliver-haired male's voice interrupted you.

The male finishes playing the piano and turns to you with a smile. "You know, there's a ball coming up soon. Would you like to come with me?" he asks.

You feel a little surprised and hesitant. You're not sure if you trust him yet, and you're not sure if you're ready to go to a ball with him. "I don't know," you say. "I'm not sure if I'm ready for something like that."

The male looked a little disappointed but also understanding. "I understand," he says. "It's okay if you're not ready. I just thought it would be a fun event, and I would enjoy your company."

You feel a little guilty for turning him down, but you also feel like it's the right decision. You're not sure if you're ready to take that step yet. You are still due up on your schedule and with the serial killer freely moving you can't feel comfortable attending a ball

The subaru smiles at you and starts playing the piano again. You sit there and listen, feeling a little conflicted.

As you sit there, listening to the music, you start to feel more comfortable as you start to think a ball is all you need to blend in maybe making connections will help you get more information on the other students after all events like this are the biggest hotspot for gossip. "You know what? I think I would like to go to the ball with you," you say. Knowing you are going to have fun.

The grey-eyed male looks surprised but also happy. "Really? That's great. I'm glad you changed your mind," he says.

"What was the ball for again," you asked curiously

"Summer solstice" the boy hummed

You feel a little nervous but also excited. You're not sure what the night will bring, but you're looking forward to finding out whose secrets will be spilled.

You finally take your leave and move towards the girl's washroom. As you finish your business you hear two girls talking in hushed tones.

"I can't believe we got away with it," one of the girls says.

"I know, right?" the other girl says. "I thought for sure we were going to get caught."

The female detective feels a sense of urgency. You know that you need to find out what they're talking about. The raven haired girl quietly opens the stall door and peeks out. You see two girls standing by the sink, looking at themselves in the mirror. They don't seem to notice you.

The female takes a deep breath and steps out of the stall. You walk over to the sink and pretend to wash your hands. You glance at the girls in the mirror and see that they're both looking at you.

"Hey," one of the girls says. "Do you want to see something cool?"

The female nods, trying to keep her cool. The girls lead you out of the bathroom and down the hall to a classroom. They open the door and the female sees a group of students gathered around a table. They're playing a game of poker.

You realize that this is what the girls were talking about in the bathroom. You know that gambling is illegal and that you need to do something about it.

You take out your phone and pretend to text someone. "I'm going to be late for my next class," You say. "I'll catch up with you guys later."

The students nod and the female leaves the classroom. She walks down the hall and into an abandoned corner. Reaching there she calls up Sayuri typing all the information about the students present in gambling and asked her to return to you with more detailed notes

The girl feels a sense of satisfaction. As she then moves towards her cafeteria because it was already way too late to enter the class now.

Entering the cafeteria you were greeted by the wafting smell of your favourite snacks you happily skipped towards the cafeteria line only to see there was none and by none you meant none at all. All the students sat in a corner with their delivered food trays. You looked around to find the boys but they were nowhere to be seen.

"Asuna asuna" a voice took you by surprise as a figure gave you a back hug you were suddenly hoisted up by a pair of strong arms. You didn't like how intimate the person was and decided to knock your elbow into their chest.

Looking at how the almond-eyed male treated the girl Subaru slapped the back of his head which made the gamer sluggish. He closed his eyes and turned up his eyebrows in some kind of weak pained expression before rubbing where he had been hit. He looked at the authoritative male in confusion as he couldn't understand the reason behind his action.

"What was that for.?" Asked the male with a scowl appeared on his face because the female fell off of him.

" That isn't how you treat a girl." The silver head male simply stated.

"Asuna you will let me hoist you up, won't you? " He said in a way that didn't make you think it was a question that seemed more like a demand.

"We have talked about this kazuto. " The male sighed "You need to put more emotion and make it seem like a request, not a threat."

The hazel brunette eyes widened in realisation as he quickly apologized to you. "I am sorry aauna I shouldn't have done it."

You waved the male away indicating you weren't angry in the slightest and quickly climbed up the counter standing in the school kitchen. You saw the blond cooking sincerely his smile was genuine, in another corner you saw Akira and Yukio looking at you. Ignoring them both you went and sat down beside the purple-headed male.

"Hello asuna " the male shyly greeted you. You chuckled at his voice as you found the way he said your name quite wonderful.

"Repeat it will you? My name" you asked Takumi hoping he would repeat your name. Sometimes he did remind you of a porcupine especially when he turned into a shy ball making a perfect example of the said animal.

"Asuna," the lavender-eyed male said this time in a more clear voice. You hummed in joy and patted the male. To which the male began to blush and looked at the other side. Hoping that the female won't retrieve her hand but to his disappointment he felt that her touch was gone.

You got up and scooped down between the two angry males who were glaring at you mere minutes ago. The brunette beside you was about to throw you off the space. When you closed in on him and picked up some stray strands of yellow fur. You looked at him with a discerning gaze. Finally giving a beaming smile.

"do you own a dog or two.?" you asked as you picked up another set of fur from his body this time it was brown. The male in question was too dumbfounded to talk his breath hitched in as he had trouble with the proximity of the female.

The redhead male gave a knowing scowl at the happenings between the two teenagers and pulled the younger girl off the male.

"do you always violate privacy like this.? " the haughty male asked.

You just flipped your hair as you took steps towards the male which to him seemed almost in a seductive manner he took steps backwards and was forced to be up against the wall.

"like this"the shorter girl smirked

The male then got annoyed by her stance but somewhat flustered as he told her to get away from him. Pushing her away he flopped down onto his seat again. Looking back at his friend whose face is still red.

You swore you gave him a permanent scowl. It was then a bowl of your favourite snacks came right into your vision. You smiled at the blonde male as you took the bowl from but he didn't let the bowl go. He looked at you waiting for something.

" thank you for the food, Hikaru," you said as you seized the bowl from the blonde's hand and started munching. Completing your snack you looked up at the green-eyed male in apprehension.

" How did you know I like this.? " you asked as you waited for the answer.

" you do. Then the pleasure is all mine" The male just smiled as he kept down his apron and sat down beside you cross-legged.

"wait you guys emptied the whole school kitchen for this," you asked keeping down your bowl and picking up a long knife testing its edges. Only for kazuto to take it from your hands and give you a frown.

"don't touch the knife like that if you want something just ask him to prepare it for you" the male said keeping the knife back in the stand.

Paying no heed to his strange action you began to leave but stopped in your tracks seeing the blonde block your way.

"Okay, Hikaru how about I do something for you will you let me leave, " you asked me hiding my annoyance.

" If you are doing something for him do it for us too. " the almond-eyed male stated.

"Well, I owe Hikaru for food so only him You whipped out your notebook and began to scribble the necessary details.

You scribbled some more and looked at him."I am assuming you are male"

He wiggled his eyebrows " Wanna check.? "

"No thank you," you said bluntly as you wrote it down. " you're blonde and have green eyes " You tapped the pen to your chin " What are your strong suits.?"

He laughed and thought for a moment "Well I am good at English and acting but I also am quite handy with ladies. He winked and leaned forward towards you hopefully.

"Ok so a player alright," you wrote it down.

He groaned in disapproval

"What are you bad at.?"

" doing his chores " the gamer blurted out.

Hikaru frowned "How ironic of you to say kazuto"

The gamer male just gave an empty smile as he continues to lean into the girl.

" bad at fulfilling responsibilities," you wrote more down in the book.

" Like I said there are not many things I am no-"

"Playing card games or any games fairly" the sliver hair male interjected the blonde.

"Cheater," you wrote down

"Subaru stop it was only once -"

"Once you played fairly" The musician raised an eyebrow.

"Asuna I will tell you privately wait-"

"can't go 10 mins without flirting" the crimson-haired male deadpanned.

"Hey, all of you shu-"

The Brunette got up and paced towards the blonde-haired male. Yukio then stood in front of the female with his hands out in front as if asking for something.

" you want what he is bad at.? I can give 101 things" the male said in a serious tone.

You began laughing to everyone's surprise. You looked at the male's quizzical expression and stopped.

" you guys gotta cut poor Hikaru some slack" You gently touched the dark brown-eyed male's shoulder. Swiftly got off the counter-bidding goodbyes to all of them you left.

" She left right," the gamer asked

"ofc she did I could only stop her for so long," the blonde said with a dissatisfied sigh." why are you smiling Subaru.?"

"I invited her to the ball "
