Lesson was in session as a certain aqua green haired girl tried to keep her golden eyes open in class. Nonetheless, her efforts were becoming less and less effective as the energy in her body slowly dissipated. She just couldn't stay up in class any longer due to the lack of sleep that's weighing her mind down at the moment, but fortunately for her, class was near it's end.
'Hey, Yuna...! Don't fall asleep in class!' Tasuku whispered worriedly, reaching over to her before she fell over.
The girl immediately snapped herself awake again upon hearing her closest friend's voice, cursing to herself for nearly dozing off in class.
'Sorry, I'm trying my best not to,' she replied quietly as she straightened herself out.
'Work getting to you?' he asked as he leaned over a bit. 'I've noticed your efforts to stay up in class dying down since last week.'
Yuna nodded as she held back an upcoming yawn and massaged her temples a little to relax a little. Smiling, the boy reached over and gave a quick firm squeeze on her left arm and dropped his before they were caught.
'It's almost the end of the school day. Maybe you should go home and rest instead of coming to work with me. There's always tomorrow and the future of course.'
Of course hearing that from Tasuku usually keeps the girl relaxed, but today was the day she first visited the office with him as well as the first day she met Stella Watson, Takihara Tsurugi, and Commander I. The girl also hasn't been able to visit the three due to all the work loaded on her for the past weeks, so it was a must for her to see how they were doing.
'No, I'll still come. Don't worry about me,' she replied as she loosened the dark blue and red tie around the collar of her white dress shirt.
'If you say so. I won't stop you,' Tasuku said as he slightly tugged on his blue blazer, feeling a little unsure about her decision.
He was constantly checking on her as he focused on class lessons and playing around with the dark blue and red cuffs on his blazer, crossing and uncrossing his dark blue covered legs awkwardly. The final bell of the day rang several minutes later to end school; the teacher dismissed the class, allowing the students to pack up and leave for home or where ever they were going to go. Yuna stood up from her seat a little too fast which caused her to feel dizzy and lean over her desk to stay balanced.
"Whoa, no need to rush," chuckled her friend as he helped keep her steady on her feet. "You know nothing good will actually come to you if you rush."
"Says the boy who's trying to grow up quickly," she countered in a muzzy sounding voice.
Tasuku chuckled nervously knowing that she was right as she recovered from her unstable body and began to pack her tools and books. While doing so, he followed her action as well and put away his supplies into his bag as quickly as possible. That was until a few other students came by and began asking the two for autographs and handshakes.
"C-can we get autographs and possibly handshakes from you both?" the students asked in a hopeful sounding tone.
It seemed like they both were getting different kinds of students asking the same questions everyday right after school when they got the chance to ask. Their answers were always the same.
"I don't mind," said the prodigy, smiling his usual smile.
Yuna rolled her eyes playfully at the boy who seemingly stuck his tongue out at her and bowed respectfully to the students before she started the handshake and autograph session.
"Why of course," the female singer replied as she held out her hand.
The two began their unassigned tasks as they were being bombarded with questions they think and were pretty sure they may have been asked more than a dozen times by now.
"Are you both always this close?" a girl asked.
"Yes, always," the blue spiky haired boy replied, his crimson eyes closing to match his smile.
"How long have you known each other for?" a boy asked.
"About four years or more," Yuna chuckled as she handed her autograph over.
"Your hair is so long! Isn't it hard to take care of?" another female student questioned.
"Why, yes, it quite is. But I don't mind," replied the idol as she shook her hand.
"How's work, Tasuku?" a male student asked.
"Very good and busy as always," he said as he handed over his autograph and gave a handshake.
"Why don't you say a catchphrase or something you have always said on stage right now, Yuna?" someone suddenly suggested which caused the girl to go stiff.
That was a sign to get her out as soon as possible, but Tasuku and even Yuna wasn't really sure if they'll make it out alive from the crowd. They were also nowhere near an exit nor the windows.
"R-right now...?" Yuna asked nervously which had everyone nod and grunt in an excited sounding way.
'Oh dear..' Tasuku thought. 'She's never good at this sort of stuff, especially when off stage..'
The girl was now blushing shyly as she played with the hem of her school uniform's dark blue skirt, her feet pointing inwards as she looked down a little nervously. The students in the classroom were too excited to even notice her uncomfortable state and continued to wait eagerly for her little phrase she was known to say during meet and greets as well as performance.
"... L-lo-l-lovely... c-chu...!~" she quietly said nervously as she tilted her head a bit to the left and winked her left eye.
She was leaning back a little; her right hand was now forming a handgun as her left hand rested on her hip. When she said 'chu,' the students also decided to join in like how they always did in the audience during concerts and created a hand gun as well while they winked back at her. Tasuku was smiling brightly at both the girl and the crowd around them, but he was still worried about her suddenly faint from anxiety and current lack of sleep.
"So cute when she isn't idolized!" a boy commented.
Tasuku suddenly felt uncomfortable when he heard the comment, his smile twitching a little and becoming forced.
"But also cool when she IS idolized!" a girl squealed, emphasizing the word 'is.'
Yuna rubbed the nape of her neck shyly as she smiled and looked down at her grey tan shoes, noticing the cop beside her feeling a little tense.
"Alright now, everyone, but we've got to go somewhere now," Yuna announced, earning a disappointing 'aw' from the crowd.
"Thank you for your kindness!" they chimed in unison before departing.
The idol and cop waved them off as they finally left them alone again, both students sighing a breath of relief.
"Shall we get going?" Tasuku asked as his genuine looking smile reappeared.
"Jealous now, are you?" Yuna giggled sleepily as she grabbed his hand and dragged him off.
"Maybe just a tad."
Psychic Knife Dragon and Jackknife Dragon appeared out of their respective cards in their miniature form as Tasuku and Yuna got out of the building and into the open field. As usual, the white armored dragon was sour towards the Boy Wonder Cop and the green armored dragon had to hold him back incase he tried to attack.
"Yo!" a female voice chimed joyfully.
Yuna turned around and smiled nervously at the light lavender haired girl who trailed her bright lavender-blue eyes on the two as she fixed up her long black glove adorned on her right arm. More specifically, she was keeping an eye out on Tasuku.
"Going on a date or something, you both?" Yumiko asked playfully as she slyly smiled and lowered her eyelids at them.
"Date? YEAH RIGHT!" Psy exclaimed sarcastically.
Jack only groaned and pulled him back from Tasuku and Yuna before he said or did anything else disruptive.
"Not a date..." Yuna said awkwardly before getting cut off.
"Oh, so you both aren't dating then? I guess the rumor was a dud!" the girl with long and extremely layered hair exclaimed as she clapped her hands together.
Quick on her feet, Yumiko sauntered over to Tasuku as she fastened the white and gold straps on her red vest she unfastened earlier and got up real close to his face. Being very close where their noses were close to touching by a centimeter, the girl smirked casually which got him to feel more nervous than ever and lose his head in the clouds.
"You know, you're a cute guy and all, but why do you hang out with Yuna so much?" the girl asked in a more seductive like tone. "She's not one to show herself off like anyone else you see and is also easily flustered as well as scared by everything."
"T-that's not a problem with me at all...!" he defended. "Isn't that a good enough reason to stick with her then?"
Yuna frowned at the true statement and remained in place as she uncomfortably looked over between the two. She was quite annoyed with what was going on in front of her, but stayed calm as she occupied herself by unbuttoning and buttoning the dark blue button on her blue blazer.
"Then do you really like her like everyone states? Or are you actually interested in someone else and sticking with Yuna due to hopelessness?"
"I- er..." the boy began awkwardly as he backed away and pulled Yuna with him.
His action only encouraged Yumiko to continue flirting with him and get him to break down into a mess even if it meant getting Yuna very ticked off and awkward towards Tasuku and herself. In her opinion, it was always fun to get people flustered over her and her many ridiculous questions until their brains were all scattered.
"Cat got your tongue? Come on, you can say it. No one's going to bite," the girl said, bringing her hands behind her back and getting a little closer than before. "Well, I don't think anyone will."
She was now leaning over a little more, allowing her low twin braided tails as well as some of her shorter layered hair hang loosely over her sleeveless short teal and white hooded jacket. Her puffy sleeves were drooping off her shoulders a bit more than usual since her arms were crossed behind her back and tugging her sleeves.
"C-can you back away a little?" he decided to say instead, his cheeks completely tinted with red due to how close she was.
Meanwhile, Psy was still complaining in the background while Jack continued to talk him into calming down. Yumiko was sorely disappointed in his response as she did what he asked and crossed her arms together after she pulled on her cream turtleneck.
"I, at least, know how to match my socks..." the younger girl suddenly said awkwardly.
She pointed down at her legs with matching shin length dark grey socks and Yumiko's legs which had a single black thigh high sock on her left leg and a single black shin length sock on her right. Yumiko blinked curiously before she looked down to see what she meant and looking back up, smiling brightly as she just gave them a shrug. Moon Celestial, Selene finally appeared out of her card and walked over to the two dragons behind everyone. The female monster suddenly gave a light whack with her giant heavy-looking silver bow on Psy's headgear.
"You need to calm down, Psy. Your blood pressure is going to rise that way," Selene said softly.
Psy only rolled his eyes as he returned to his regular form which prevented the miniature Jackknife from holding him down any longer. Of course, to keep him from running off and kicking his buddy into oblivion, Jack also returned back to his original form to continue his task.
"I. Am. Calm!" he exclaimed, now shouting gibberish and complaints to the woman with long blue hair.
The students only ignored what was happening between the monsters and continued on with their own conversation, more like Yumiko's and Yuna's conversation.
"Did you skip out on school today again?" Yuna asked curiously, smiling worriedly at the older girl as she peer behind her back to check on their buddies.
Selene was busy smiling and holding her hand out to keep Psy from getting any closer as Jack struggled to keep him still. He was still going on about how close Yuna and Tasuku were; after all, Psy never really liked seeing his human buddy close to anyone but him.
"Well, duh. Why else would I be here? Besides, school is a giant pain in the butt," she replied with a wave and bored look.
"Uhuh..." replied the idol with not much enthusiasm. "Anyways.. We have to go, Yumiko. Tasuku has work today and I'm just there for a semi-small visit."
In response, the girl rose a brow and crossed her legs together as she rested her hands on her hips, leaning back as if she needed a clearer view of the sight in front of her. Yuna and Tasuku only peered at each other quietly before looking back at Yumiko for a quick response with all the commotion finally dying down.
"You two are a pretty cute couple anyways, so I can't possibly steal Prodigy here from right under you," the girl finally said.
"... Are you still onto that..?" the two childhood friends groaned embarrassingly.
Yumiko only chuckled as she began to play with the red and white flower ribbon on the right side of her head unconsciously, pointing at their locked hands.
"Of course I am, especially with that display of affection right in front of me," she stated as she grinned.
The two noticed what she was hinting at and suddenly became flustered as they tried to come up with an excuse.
"Umm- We- That's..." Yuna began to stutter.
"F-friends can hold hands too! I think.." Tasuku said nervously.
Their buddies eventually walked back to their respective owners with Selene being as graceful as ever, Psy looking pooped out, and Jack completely relieved that he no longer needs to keep Psy from going berserk around Tasuku and Yuna.
"Might as well go now if you both are in a rush," the older girl told the two as she stepped out of the way.
"We're not exactly in a rush," Psy said as he became miniature again, raising his arm up in defeat.
"But thank you," Yuna finished as she smiled softly.
Jack allowed Tasuku's buddy skill to activate as he carefully picked up Yuna off the ground, knowing how much she feared heights along with how tired she was at the moment. Psy no longer had the energy to suddenly lash out on him for getting too close to his buddy and just lightly lifted himself off the ground with his feathered dragon wings, Jack following suit. The light green circles appeared at the heels of Tasuku's grey tan shoes which indicated that the skill was now active for use.
"We'll see you when you visit again or something," Tasuku told Yumiko as he gave her his signature smile.
The girl waved at the two as they took off into the sky with both dragons following them on either sides; Yuna was literally falling asleep in his arms as they left.
"Selene, do you think we'll be able to make it to Aibo Academy before they leave?" Yumiko asked her buddy, smoothing out her short teal skirt and long feathery looking ends of her cream shirt.
Selene soon also activated her buddy skill for Yumiko to use as she fixed up her pink and white hair ties. Her teal and white striped ankle boots were now having bright light blue blades underneath the soles of her heeled shoes as if they were a pair of ice skates.
"I believe that you won't catch the students you want to catch," her buddy stated bluntly.
Before she left Yuna and Tasuku's school campus, she looked at the dragon figures and the two students shrink out of her sight in the sky. Tasuku did the same as he glanced down behind him to see if Yumiko had left yet. She had just turned away and began to skate off quickly to her next destination, leaving trails of light blue falling stars behind her as he checked. Yuna's face was now buried into his body as she tried to block out the light shining on her face lazily.
"I'm still debating whether to take you home or not," the boy suddenly said awkwardly as he faced back to the front.
A muffled and tired sounding 'noooooooooo...' suddenly sounded from the girl, his chest becoming warm due to her breath. He ended up chuckling at her response and continued heading straight to the Buddy Police Headquarters instead of taking a turn to her house.
'Tasuku, you're very comfortable.. Like a really soft pillow..' the girl commented sleepily, blushing a little at herself.
The boy allowed the blood rush to his cheeks as he looked down at the girl curiously and smiled, knowing how embarrassed she must be right now. Yuna mentally laughed at herself as she gripped his blazer a bit tighter and pulled herself closer to him. It was clear that she is still aware of the height they were currently at.
'I'm sorry, I must have sounded ridiculous,' she said, her voice barely even audible.
"Not at all," he replied with a light chuckle before messing around with her. "Maybe I should let you sleep on me more often?"
The girl went silent as she turned her head a little to allow her single sharp left eye peer at him shyly while he smiled like a giant idiot at his own joke.
'Maybe when I'm tired and you're taking me home or for a visit...' she mumbled sheepishly which caused Tasuku to burst into laughter.
Jack was smiling warmly at the two as they continued their path to the card office while Psy on the other hand looked like he was going to drop out of the sky any minute. Of course out of worry, the dragon in his regular form continued to check up on the miniaturized dragon as he watched their buddies bond with each other.
"I might just let you do that, Yun," he continued to tease.
'Don't encourage me to,' Yuna stated as she buried her face back into him. 'You might regret it.'
His only response was to hum happily as he picked up the pace and headed over to headquarters, landing in front of the entrance silently and carefully. Instead of putting Yuna back down on her feet, Tasuku casually strolled in and kept a straight face on as he mouthed the words, 'She's tired right now.' The officers in the building smiled and nodded as they continued their work with Stella at the front desk waiting for him. Jack had to return to his miniature form again to keep an eye out on Psy as they both entered a second later and followed the young cop.
'Did she overwork again?' the teen chuckled quietly as Tasuku nodded.
'She insisted to visit and, well, here she is. Sleeping like a hibernating bear,' the boy chuckled.
Smiling at the two, Stella pulled her blonde hair out of her face as she set her red hat with the police emblem pinned down onto her head and pushed up her black thick frames glasses up the bridge of her nose. She then began walking off with Tasuku into their main control room, closing her icy blue eyes in a joyful mood and excited to see Yuna awake again only for more small chats they always had when she comes.
'Mr. Takihara and the Commander would be happy to finally see her again, just not in this state,' the young woman giggled energetically.
'You think?' Tasuku replied, laughing along with her.
All OCs belong to me. Spamming stories. AFK.
