By the time Kanzaki comes over to readjust Imaizumi's jacket, he has already voiced his scorn a hundred times in his head. "This is your fault," he tells her seriously and frowns when she laughs.
"Sure," Kanzaki says. "Good luck out there!"
Someone from the student council comes over then, holding a clipboard. "Cycling club. Are you ready for the auction?"
"Yes," Kanzaki answers for Imaizumi.
"The girls in the crowd have been going wild," a theater club sound tech adds from behind them. "They're all saying something about number..." Her eyes land on Imaizumi's button. "Six. Yes. You."
Imaizumi would like to blame the following people for his current predicament:
Kanzaki, for bringing the school festival's annual Date-An-Ikemen charity fundraiser to Teshima's attention.
Teshima, for telling the student council representative that the cycling club has quite a number of "elites" to auction off for money.
And finally, Naruko, for being so indignant at the prospect that he didn't get picked by Teshima that he starts an argument challenging Imaizumi's qualifications that ended with Imaizumi shouting "Of course I can do it!"
Then Kanzaki had the nerve to tell Imaizumi's fanclub (whose existence he's still ignoring two years into his high school career) about the auction, which resulted in an embarrassingly public rumor mill about everyone who wanted to bid on him. Onoda had helpfully told Imaizumi that the president of the art club planned on winning the auction to make Imaizumi model nude for them, at which point Imaizumi's soul left his body for the nth time until his head was filled with nothing but the dying sounds of Naruko cackling in the distance.
Now Imaizumi is here, tugging uncomfortably at his tie as one of the organizers push him onto stage. If possible, the crowd gets louder as Imaizumi spots classmates, teachers, and strangers in the audience. He hates noise and he hates school festivals. But more than anything, Imaizumi hates the feeling of anxiousness at the pit of his stomach as the MC outlines Imaizumi's life story ("Cycling club ace! Handsome! Tall! His ideal type is someone smaller and louder than him!" Which, Imaizumi has never told anyone, so he's not even sure how Kanzaki knew to supply this info to the MC).
"Now you can win a date with him!" The MC continues. "The bidding starts at 1000 yen!"
"2000!" A girl in pink shouts.
"2500!"
Someone in an unfamiliar uniform raises her hand. "3000!"
"3500!" Cries a voice that sounds suspiciously like Teshima-senpai. Imaizumi is going to quit the team and transfer. He's going to-
"4500!"
"5000!" Says the president of the art club.
Imaizumi's headache is getting worse. He's probably hallucinating by the time Naruko appears at the front of the crowd and shouts. "8000!"
The audience, perhaps shocked that Imaizumi is being bid on by another boy, is only silent for a beat before the president of the art club speaks up again. "10000."
"Oi!" Naruko is pointing now as someone from the newspaper club appears with a wireless mic near him. "What's your deal!?"
The art club president is also intercepted by another person with a mic. She accepts it rapidly and glares at Naruko. "We want Imaizumi-kun to model for us! He is doing us a service." A group of girls around her nod knowingly.
"Just sketch him from afar like you always do!" Naruko shouts into his own mic.
"Tha-that's not true! Why do you need to bid on Imaizumi-kun anyway? You spend all your time with him."
Naruko turns almost as red as his hair. Still, he's displaying the same stubbornness that got Imaizumi into this mess in the first place. "DOES NOT!"
"Does too!!"
The MC, for the most part, seems to be enjoying the commotion. Imaizumi wonders if he can sneak off the stage and disappear from the festival and life before anyone notices. A cursory glance at the exit reveals that Kanzaki is blocking it off while watching the exchange with wide eyes.
"We need Imaizumi-kun!" The art club present says decidedly. "He's going to be our model."
"WELL HE'S GOING TO BE MY BOYFRIEND!" Naruko screams.
This leaves the crowd completely baffled. Even Naruko's opponent seems to be lacking words until the MC announces, "The winner is Class 2-E's Naruko-kun!"
Later, after Imaizumi has left the stage and gone to hide in an empty classroom, Naruko appears with his winning ticket. "Look happy, hotshot! I just saved you!"
Imaizumi is so, so tired. Yet, he looks up and says, quietly, "You called me your boyfriend." In the months they've spent going home together, holding hands, kissing, laughing, and fighting... Naruko has never once put a label on their relationship.
"My soon to be boyfriend," Naruko corrects. "Eh... If you want."
"I want-" Imaizumi trails off. He wants a lot of things: to stop being put into embarrassing situations, to stop succumbing to his misplaced anxiety, and to win the interhigh again. But now, more than anything else, he wants a hug from Naruko. "Yes."
Naruko seems to read his mind as he throws an arm around Imaizumi. "Don't stress out! I'm here!"
"Okay," Imaizumi says. Familiar fondness for Naruko begin to replace his nerves, and Imazumi finds himself leaning into Naruko's embrace.
"Sorry if I cost you some fangirls," Naruko adds as an afterthought for having just publicly outed them.
Imaizumi is not sorry about that at all, yet he accepts Naruko's consolatory kiss regardless.
