Kidou Yuuto

"I'm sorry for having you do this for me," you say as you put down your bag on the empty chair beside you. "You don't have to do it – I mean, I could just ask someone else to tutor me."

During the past week, you happened to fail two of your physics tests. It wasn't like you did it on purpose, though. Since you were a member of the volleyball club, it was difficult to balance academics and club activities equally. As a result, the physics teacher decided to ask Kidou Yuuto to tutor you in physics before your make up tests start the following week.

The idea of tutorials didn't really bother you, but the problem was that you didn't really know how to make a conversation with someone you weren't familiar with, especially that Kidou. Well, yeah, you know him because he's in the same class as you are, and for being a member of the soccer club, but that was it. Part of you hoped that he'd politely refuse the teacher's proposal about the tutorials and you'd find someone else to tutor you.

"No, it's fine." Kidou says and gives you a small grin and sits down on the chair across you. "Besides, today I don't have any soccer practice and it'd be nice to spend my after-school hours studying. So what do you need help on? Do you want to review on your past exams and I'll help you on your wrong answers?"

You nod in reply, stay quiet because you didn't know what else to do or say, and pull out the two exam papers with failing grades and reluctantly hand them to the boy in front of you, expecting him to laugh at your paper, say something like, 'You're so stupid! You can't even answer these kinds of questions?' and make fun of you. But instead, he gives you an encouraging thumbs-up.

"Why are you giving me a thumbs-up?" You nervously ask. "Aren't you going to make fun of my score or something?"

Kidou gives you a questioning look. "Why would I do that? Do I look like the kind of guy to make fun of other people?"

His tone didn't sound like he was offended by what you said, but his question embarrasses you and you immediately look down at your hands lying on your lap. "S-sorry, I didn't mean to think like that. It's just that my friends would do those things to me whenever they manage to get a higher score than I do."

"I see," he says. "But I'm not like your friends, and just so you know, I like helping people out when they're in a pinch, so don't worry because I'll do my best to help you get a good score on the make-up test."

You give him a small smile. "Thank you, and um, I'll do my best too so that I wouldn't really give you much of a burden."

He nods. "Okay, so then we should probably get started."

"U-um, thanks for the tutoring," you say whilst opening the door of the library, thus being greeted by the chilly autumn wind. "I was able to learn a lot and I might be able to pass the make-up exam."

"No problem," Kidou says as he walks with you, "I'm glad I was able to help you with the lesson. You're going to pass that test, no doubt about it."

You smile. "Thank you, Kidou."

"Yeah, well, it's pretty late; I'll walk you home." He checks the time on his phone and looks at you. "Where do you live?"

Your eyes widen at his offer. "T-there's no need for you to do that! I live really far from here, and it's probably not in the same route you use to go home."

"Nah, its fine. Besides, a girl shouldn't be walking alone during this time of the day." When I had still refused his suggestion, he sighs. "At least let me walk you to the station."

You have no choice but to give in and walk together to the station. It's a fifteen minute walk, and you can't help but think of a topic to talk about with the boy beside you. After a moment of silence, you try to spark a conversation.

"S-soccer, is it fun?" You say, startling Kidou. When he looks at you and doesn't answer, you continue. "I mean, everyone's talking about it, and I'm kind of curious."

You silently curse yourself. You're asking a member of the soccer club, of course he'll say that soccer is fun!

"It is," he says, much to your surprise, with a grin on his face. "It's more than just fun; it's like a part of my life now. Sometimes I even feel like I can't end the day without at least kicking the soccer ball or making a shoot. It helps me when I'm depressed, and I can actually relax when I'm doing something as simple as juggling the ball by myself."

You open your mouth to say something, but no words came out. You didn't expect an answer like that to pop out of his mouth. You thought he would just say, "Yeah, of course I do," and the uncomfortable moment of silence would return. "I see."

"What about you? You're in the volleyball club, right?" He asks me. "Do you think it's a fun sport? Volleyball, I mean."

This question brings a smile to your face. "Of course it is. I've been playing it since I was a kid, and I feel like I'm connecting with the other team whenever I hit the ball to their side. It's like, you're communicating with other people who also love volleyball." You realize you're talking too much, so you quickly end your reply. "Well, that's what I think."

Before the two of you know it, you've already arrived at the train station and the next train would be arriving in five minutes.

"Well here we are," Kidou says as he walks with you to one of the empty benches.

You look down at your feet. "Yeah. Thanks again for tutoring me and coming with me to the station. I really appreciate it, Kidou."

The brunet smiles at you and takes out his phone. "I should probably get your e-mail." He murmurs.

"E-mail?" You ask. "What for?"

"S-since I'm probably going to tutor you again sometime this week, I'll need to communicate with you to talk about when and where our next session is going to be." Kidou looks away from you. "Don't misunderstand or anything,"

You laugh and give him your e-mail, and as you board the train going home, you can't help but wonder when you'd be meeting your tutor again.

Here it is! This is my very first OC x character chapter ever for the inazuma series. I guess most of you guys expected a confession followed by a kiss or something but nah, I mean they just met and you're going to fall in love with him that quick? Haha I've decided to take things slow, so please expect some chapters like this one to have no kiss scenes or any confessions 5 days after they meet. For the meantime, I'll be writing oneshots with the original inazuma eleven cast because I'm not yet watching inazuma eleven go and I want to know the characters when I watch them soon (im already on episode 86 so) If you have any suggestions on which character I should write about next, or criticisms, pm me or leave a review!
