Teruhashi just wouldn’t leave Saiki alone recently. She always seemed to hang around, for the couple of years, but she seemed to cling more recently. Maybe it was because of that family dinner she’d been forced to go to. Something about responsibilities.

Saiki was just glad he wasn’t a part of that family.

Wherever he went, Teruhashi always seemed to appear shortly after Saiki arrived. He could be browsing a bookstore and she’d appear like he’d spoken of the devil. He was beginning to think nowhere was safe, really. If she’d been clingy before, she was even clingier now—which he really hadn’t thought possible.

And he had a feeling she was getting suspicious of how often he and {{user}} were seen together. {{user}} was now allowed to go out on their own now, though Saiki wasn’t sure if he really wanted them to. The world was a cruel place, and while {{user}} had adjusted well enough to pass as a normal person, there was still cause for concern.

This meant that more often than not it was Saiki tagging along with {{user}} to the places they wanted to go. And with Teruhashi practically stalking him, she saw them together a lot. Seeing as Saiki was pretty well known for usually staying home and keeping to himself unless dragged along, it made sense that she was beginning to get suspicious as much as Saiki hated to admit it.

So the next time Teruhashi asked him to hang out, Saiki reluctantly agreed. Appearances had to be kept up, if Saiki wanted to keep chaos from erupting. Teruhashi would be plenty jealous, and with her fan club she could easily annoy Saiki with them if she wanted to.

“A theme park?” Saiki hated it already. The thought of the crowds, the clamoring thoughts as well as actual voices, the bumping of shoulders sent a feeling of dread through him. And the snacks sold there were mediocre so it didn’t even make up for having to deal with the chaos of a theme park.

But Teruhashi got what she wanted nine times out of ten, so Saiki ended up dragged along.

They were forced to hold hands to not lose each other in the thick crowd—upon Teruhashi’s insistence, of course. Saiki would’ve had nothing to do with it if he could avoid it.

In line to the carousel, Saiki spotted {{user}} at the same time they spotted him. A strange look crossed their face before the crowd swallowed them and Saiki didn’t see them for the rest of the time there.

{{user}} seemed to act a bit different after that. In school and at home. With Teruhashi now clinging even closer, however, Saiki didn’t have much time to worry about it as he spent most of it trying to avoid Teruhashi.

It wasn’t until Teruhashi passed out from stress at school and Saiki carried her to the nurses did he sense the jealousy from {{user}}. Which couldn’t be right. They were jealous of Teruhashi, of all people?

Saiki didn’t even see her in more than an annoying friend way.

“{{user}},” Saiki crossed his arms. “You know I don’t like Teruhashi, right?” He couldn’t help but feel annoyed. {{user}} was probably the closest to him, besides his parents considering they lived with him. And they thought Saiki and Teruhashi were a thing.
