Gesture
The entire canteen had gone quiet, and everyone watched, some with pity, some with fear, as the new exchange student continued to sit before the group of towering bullies, keeping his gaze fixed to the floor.
She bit into what was left of her curry bread as one of her friends whispered nervously, "I hope someone has gone to inform the Disciplinary Committee…"
One of the bigger thugs caught the scrawny redhead by his collar, and lifted him up easily; still, Kozato Enma kept his gaze firmly on the ground. He was used to it, after all…
She swallowed, and licked her lips in satisfaction; at the same time, there came a sickening scrunch, and several girls screamed as a blow landed squarely on Enma's face. She looked up, and their eyes met for a brief second before he turned away.
It wasn't long before Hibari Kyoya walked in on the little bullying session with his death glare and tonfa; by then, Enma was already badly hurt. The students dispersed quickly upon the demon's arrival, not wishing to be dragged into the punishment he was about to issue to the bullies.
As her friends urged her to leave with them, she looked down at the yakisoba bun sitting on the table before her. It seems like she had bought a little too much.
When no one else was left in the canteen and all was quiet again, she went over to Enma, who was left unattended to against a wall now stained with his blood. She knelt down before him, at the same time depositing the yakisoba bread on his lap.
Enma's eyes widened behind his red locks, but he did not look up nevertheless.
"You haven't had much to eat, have you?" She asked cheerily, seemingly unbothered by his lack of response as she beckoned towards his overturned lunch, "it's not good to go hungry!"
The bell rang, signaling that it was time for class. She stood up, and straightened the pleats of her skirt before waving and saying, "go and get yourself treated at the nurse's office and don't worry about class; I'll let you copy my notes later!"
And as she quickly headed back up to the classroom, Enma finally raised his head, and took in the retreating form of one of the few people who would in time, become someone he would cherish with his entire being.
Hello if you're reading this. (: As you all can see, this time I've tried writing for Kozato Enma, who is really starting to grow on me. This won't be a one shot like the ones I've written for Hibari and Bel; it'd probably span 5 to 10 chapters, all little ficlets, and may contain some manga spoilers, depending on where inspiration brings me.
Anyway, hope you liked it, and that you'll stick around till the end.
