You open the door to your classroom and prepare for hell. "Miss (l/n)! You're late!" your teacher yells the second you open the door. "I'm sorry, sir. Won't happen again" you say, trying to save yourself, not actually caring that you were late. "I guess I can overlook it since it's just 5 minutes. Go ahead and take your seat." You simply nod and head straight for the seat next to Mizuki.
Like always, when she wants to tell you something during class, she's written in her notebook: 'Why are you late?!? You're never late!' 'I'll tell you about it later' you simply answer, not being able to come up with an excuse out of the blue like that. 'Ooooooh!!! I bet this is something juicy!!!' she writes before looking at you with an excited smirk. Seeing this you try your hardest to seem like nothing happened before answering: 'Believe me, it's not.' Great, now you needed to come up with an excuse before this lesson was over. You didn't really want to tell them you met Takuma, since you knew both Mizuki and Minami had crushes on him. You hadn't ever met him before last night, but you could already tell why they were interested in him.
"WHAT HAPPENED?!?! WAS IT A GUY?!? A NIGHT CLASS GUY!?!?!" Minami, who had been staring at you the whole lesson had suddenly jumped up on your desk and was now demanding answers. "Calm down would ya? I fell asleep while reading. Now, if you'll excuse me, I haven't eaten breakfast yet, and I'm getting pretty hungry." And with that you stood up and walked out. You knew none of them bought that excuse but they at least seemed to let it go, because no one came chasing after you, demanding more answers.
As you left the school building to get to your dorm and buy some food, Takuma stepped out from behind the corner of the building. He had been hiding to avoid being seen by day class girls, and since there were very few people around at that time of day nobody had seen him. "Here" he said while holding out a box of food in front of you. "It's partly my fault you got late to class and missed breakfast..." he continued. "How the hell did you know I was late?!" you ask, getting the stalker vibe from him all of a sudden. "It was pretty obvious with how late you left..." he explained with a smirk. You started blushing out of embarrassment before snatching the food from him.
After a couple of seconds of silence you realized you should probably thank him for the food. "Tha..." "Ah, (f/n)!" Hearing Mizuki's voice you quickly pushed him around the corner again, making him fall. As she ran up to you, you tried leaning against the building to hide Takuma from her. "What took you so long? I was getting worried, and Minami is was getting mad and saying you were probably with that same guy from last night..." she said, almost looking a bit sad. "I told you I fell asleep! Anyway, I got my lunch, I'll be back in a second. Go ahead of me, I forgot a thing..." you say, wanting to get rid of her. "Oh, okay!" she said with a big smile before going back inside. Man, where you glad she was so gullible.
When she was out of sight you turned around to help Takuma up. He still looked completely shocked from you pushing him. "What was that about?" he asked, seeming to have regained himself a bit. "She's got a crush on you, you're lucky she's so gullible or you would be swarmed by fangirls by now..." you told him, trying to be casual about it, even though the thought of it made you kind of sick. "Oh, thank you" he said, once again seeming shocked by your actions. "I just assumed you get tired of it" you explain, not completely able to tell if he appreciated that or not. "Yeah... Well, see you tonight!" he said plainly. Even though the 'yeah' was plain you could tell he really didn't enjoy being swarmed all that much. "Oh, yeah, sure..." you answered with a blush. Luckily for you he had already turned around and started walking away, so he didn't notice it. You let the blush go down before you went inside again.
When you came inside Shoko was quickly up in your face. "What took you so long?" she asked, being way too close. Looking over at Minami she seemed to wonder as well, but she looked way angrier than Shoko did. "I forgot a thing when I got my lunch" you "explained". They nodded, signalling they bought it. Seems Mizuki isn't the only gullible one here today... Sitting down you started eating in silence, while Mizuki and Minami discussed Takuma and Shoko talked about Akatsuki, like usual. (Idk, he kinda reminds me of Yuuji... High five if you get what I'm talking about!)
Timeskip brought to you by Hideyoshi being a new gender~
You were sitting and reading again as you started to wonder where Takuma had disappeared to. It was around this time he came yesterday and you were assuming he'd be there earlier tonight. As you wondered if he was going to come at all you started spacing out.
All of as sudden, fingers were snapped in front of your face, making you jump and squeak before realizing that it was Takuma. When you turned around to give him a death glare he starts laughing his ass off. You tried to keep your angry face, but it didn't take long before you started laughing at the situation yourself. When he finally calmed down he apologized for scaring you before sitting down. "I just couldn't help myself" he said with a smirk. You gave a little laugh. "You're here later today than you were yesterday..." you pointed out, kind of wanting an explanation. "I brought tea" he explained, holding up two cups and a teapot. You laughed a little at his enthusiasm before accepting one of the cups happily. "Thanks, I love tea" you responded, with a little less enthusiasm than him. "Great, because I wouldn't be able to drink all this by myself" he confessed, as he poured up two cups for you. You laughed a little at the remark before taking a sip of the tea. "It's delicious" you compliment, sounding a bit too surprised. "Why, thank you" he said with another one of those handsome smiles, seeming to look past your surprised expression. You quickly turned it into a smile of your own and tried best you could to hide a blush.
You two sat in silence for a while, but you felt there was something he wanted to say. You looked up at him with a questioning look to indicate that you noticed. "I was wondering... about that nightmare you had. What was it about?" he asked, a bit unsurely. You were wondering if you should answer or not. On one hand headmaster Cross had told you to not talk about it, but on the other you really wanted to share it with someone, and you felt that you could trust him...
"I'm sorry, if you don't want to tell me, you don't have to" he quickly said when you didn't answer. You realized you had been thinking about it rather long and that you probably looked all depressed and stuff looking down for that long. "No, it's fine. Uhm, when I was ten my parents were murdered. I never got the details on how they died, and even though I saw it myself I can't remember what happened. The doctors told me it was because the event was to traumatic so my mind blocks it out..." you explained. "I'm so sorry" he apologized. "You didn't kill them, so you shouldn't apologize...." you said, trailing off a bit at the end. "What where their names?" he asked. The question felt a bit out of the blue, but you decided to answer anyway. "(mother's name) and (father's name) (l/n)" you answered. When you looked up at him he had this really serious expression on his face, making you wonder what he was thinking about. Matter of fact, it was not very unlike the expression he wore after getting to know your name...
"What?" you ask, being really confused by his expression. "I was just wondering happened then. I mean, it must've been rather difficult..." he explained. You immediately knew he was lying, but you decided to not point that fact out. "I didn't have any other family, so I lived on the streets. Not really much time for grieving there. Then, one day headmaster Cross took me in and let me attend this school. I'm guessing he'd heard about my parents before, with them being professors and all..." you explained, looking down at the ground.
All of a sudden he patted your head, making you jump in surprise. "I'm sure you'll be alright from here on out" he said with a smile, trying to reassure you. For some reason this made you smile as well, and you did a quick little nod.
Author's note! Update on time this weekend, yaaay! Okay, I might actually update multiple times this week since I'm on break from school. Thank god for easter! Anyway, if anyone here has checked out my Levi fanfic they might have noticed that the first chapters sucked ass. So, I thought that I'd rewrite them, in honor of Attack on Titan season 2 finally coming out, and all. So, if you, like me, have a crush on Shorty von Cleanfreak, you're more than welcome to check that out next week. Oh, and if you're following any of my other fanfics, then I'm probably going to update those more during this week, too. There's one more thing, and I'm sorry, this is turning into a really long author's note, but me and my brother also have a youtube channel. So, if you want to know a bit more about me, then go check out Squid and John. Be prepared for a lot of awkward swedes, though. // Yours truly, Handsomesquid :3
