And here it is. The prologue for another 15 chapter story. This'll be sweet and cuddly though, not like the other one I wrote. So, review and tell me what you think.
"Niwa Daisuke?"
"Here." the red head called from the back row. Somehow, he found himself sitting in Child Care and Parenting- a new class in the Azumano Middle School, which he did not sign up for. Apparently, someone had for him. That person most likely being the person who got the program forcibly installed in the school: Saehara Takeshi.
It all began when Mio Hio denied Takeshi, telling him that she wanted someone that was good with children. He had fought for this program ever since; though, no one wanted to take it, so it was presumable that he took the liberty of signing people up himself. How he did so was the common secret of reporters alike. And, on top of that, Mio joined the class before considering that her "loyal companion", or stalker as she defined him, was involved or even in the class all together.
However, the class wasn't completely at lost. Hiwatari Satoshi was also in it. Why Satoshi enrolled in this class was beyond anyone that cared to wonder. However, this gave the possibility that Niwa could become friends with the seemingly mute boy.
"Class, today you will be studying the human body and sex cells. Yesterday, you completed the poster, so it should be a review." the teacher said after finishing the attendance. "And, you will be starting your two week project," the class sourly responded with groans, "Come on! It isn't death; you'll be able to know your classmates better. Caring for a baby for two weeks is good for the soul!" she exclaimed after noting no one seemed peculiarly interested at all.
"And, you can pick your own partners…" she sighed, the students seemed to perk up. " Although, keep in mind that you'll be living with your partner for the two weeks, to make work equal." It was intended to be a bad thing, though as teacher watched, the boys slowly grew sly grins. Of course. They would be spending two weeks with a girl… Alone.
"Alright, pick your partner."
Takeshi instantly turned to Hio- who immediately gave an agitated sigh. Everyone was choosing partners when Niwa turned to the bluenette.
"Would you like to be my partner, Hiwatari-kun?" he asked shyly.
Hiwatari looked around the room, inspecting other options. Not that he didn't want to be with the red head. He was actually hoping he would be a partner with someone he knew. Although the danger involved in collaborating with Daisuke did not appear too horrible, for he would be able to hold Krad back and expected as much from the redhead.
"You do realize that we'll be the only male group, right?"
Niwa looked around and found that it was true; everyone paired with the opposite sex. "So? We'll be rebels! It's not like we'll come to love each other or anything."
A silent part of Hiwatari smirked. The reason why: not applicable. "Yes, that's true. Alright, let's be partners." Niwa smiled triumphantly.
The teacher looked around the classroom examining the groups created. One stood out to her, and she approached the male group at once. "You do realize 50 of this assignment is directed at the relationship between the 'couple'; are you two going to be comfortable doing this together?"
"Yes." Hiwatari responded nonchalantly. Expecting a more thorough answer, she turned to the redheaded student.
"And what about you?"
"I don't think my mom would let me live with a girl for two weeks… She's a bit over protective." Niwa said, glancing around the room at all of the boys groveling over their partner. Especially Takeshi, who was intent upon holding Mio Hio's hand, though ignorant of the many slaps across the face received.
The teacher's expression changed to understanding. She was not a homophobic. She just… was not accepting of the relationships, or so she told herself. It was something a teacher should not advertise, but she was also a person who wished to convert others to her thinking. "All right then, if you need anything, tell me."
As the teacher returned to the head of the classroom, Hiwatari looked at Daisuke, wondering if he caught the loathing tone in her voice. Niwa frowned, "She isn't very nice…"
"Teachers have to act unprejudiced; I assume she's new to this job." Satoshi replied, mentally dousing the teacher with disapproval.
"Now I will be passing out the center of this project- the baby... It's not real, so don't worry, children."
Most of the class rolled his or her eyes, scorning the teacher with sarcastic remarks of how they "aren't that stupid to think the thing is alive." However, the teacher too preoccupied to notice such acts of endearment, began passing the tools around,
"So," Daisuke began, "What do you want to name our baby?"
Hiwatari stared at the Niwa. He was all ready getting this enthusiastic about it? The course was designed to challenge and wreck students, he thought, not an opportunity for sleepovers and naming plastic dolls. "You're going to name it?"
"Why wouldn't I? It's a baby, babies need names…" Daisuke tried to enforce his logic on the boy, resulting in a disbelieving stare. "Uh… I was thinking if it's a girl, Emily, and a boy, John."
Strange looks accompanied by awkward silence ensued. Foreign names?
This did not last long, for the baby arrived at Hiwatari's desk. The teacher only smiled at the two boys, and continued on to another group.
Silently, the bluenette studied the baby. There was a rather peculiar switch in the back, the mouth held a hole, most likely where the bottle would go. Though there was no similar hole on the other end, it was clear what gender it was. Definitely female.
The brown hair pulled back on opposite sides was one hint. Also, the rather garish blue dress, at least in Satoshi's eye, was another clue.
"Awwwww… What an adorable baby girl you have there, Daisuke! You're sooo lucky!" Mio suddenly appeared from behind both boys, taking a rather firm hold of Daisuke's neck. "Takeshi and I got a boy… "
"So you're partners with Saehara?"
She looked around, checking the vicinity, "Yes. But I do NOT want to be! Help me, Daisuke, save me!" Calming herself, Mio patted her head and stood proudly, "Sooo, what are you naming the little cutie?"
Satoshi maintained his nonchalant observations, but could not stop from wondering why they cared so much about naming a thing that was valueless. If it was going to be staying around for longer than two weeks, and if it somewhatresembled a baby, he would consider going through so much trouble.
"Well, I wanted to name her Emily." Niwa smiled, and then frowned, noticing the baffled look from Mio.
"Daisuke. You are not raising a saint. Spice it up a little! Like Xuqui, Raven, Shealin, Nali, Alethea …--" As she listed off more names in her rambling, Hiwatari and Niwa looked at each other with doubtful eyes.
By the time Mio Hio realized the two boys were ignoring her, the class bell rang. There was a mad rush of students exiting the room, one partner of every group, the more responsible one as it seemed, carried the robot.
Smiling oddly she said, "Now tomorrow morning you had better come in with a good name! I gave you enough to think about! Bye Daisuke…"
Hiwatari and Niwa were left by themselves in the classroom, wondering who was going to take the thing. The way the bluenette was glaring at the doll made Niwa very nervous about how much Hiwatari wanted it to be sucked into a raging abyss.
With this in mind, Daisuke picked it up, cradling it lovingly, "I guess I'll take it home… Think of some names tonight, okay?"
"All right." Satoshi stood from his seat and walked out of the classroom with Daisuke by his side, still possessively holding on to their doll.
