I've never really written anything before, especially in English since that's not my first language. This was also a lot harder than I expected and I really just hope that people enjoy it. I don't think I did a good job at all, but I just loved this pairing so much and felt like there weren't enough fanfics about them. I hope y'all enjoy it :')
The classroom used by the True Cross Academy for detention was fairly quiet. Only 3 people were in the room and each of them was doing their own thing. Shura, who was supposed to be supervising detention, was sleeping off her hangover, leaning back in her chair with her feet up on the teacher's desk.
Rin was seated in the second row, training his control over his flames, by snapping his fingers and lighting his thumbs on fire after each snap. 'The fantastic four may have Johnny Storm a.k.a. The Human Torch, but our ragtag group of almost exorcists has Rin Okumura a.k.a. the half-human lighter…' He thought to himself, snorting at his own stupid joke as he kept pretending his hand was an all-destroying zippo lighter from Gehenna.
The third person in the room, and the least relaxed of the 3 was Izumo, who was nervously tapping on his desk as she tried to concentrate on memorizing strengths and weaknesses of different demons, but couldn't because she was too distracted by the idiotic half-demon sitting in the row in front of her, by Rin's goddamn snapping and… 'Wait… Is he seriously laughing? What the hell is up with that moron?!' Izumo thought to herself, exasperated. She closes her textbook and starts massaging her temples, trying to calm herself down.
Rin hears her close her book and smiles, he didn't really want to disturb her earlier by starting a conversation, but now that she wasn't studying anymore, she probably wouldn't mind (as much).
He leans back in his chair, balancing it on 2 legs. He grins and lays his head back, looking at her upside-down, but quickly frowns when he sees she hasn't noticed him yet. His feeling of neglect is very short-lived however, as his frown quickly turn into a devilish grin. He bites his lip smiling as he carefully adjusts his tail with the concentration of a predator sneaking up on its prey. He suddenly attacks, causing Izumo to let out a high-pitched shriek as she feels the boy's extra appendage strike out and wrap itself around her thigh, too far up her skirt for her to be comfortable with.
The shriek is quickly followed by a gasp, a thud, and loud laughing as Rin just can't hold it in. Not only did he get Izumo to let out the most adorable and girly noise anyone has ever, and will ever hear her make, but he was also the indirect cause of Shira getting startled awake and falling out of her chair. He quickly calmed down however as he received death glares coming from two directions. He could handle the glare coming from the half-asleep, hungover, "18 year-old" with the sore ass, but the other one sent shivers down his spine.
"Hey there, Izumo, how are you?", Rin asked as innocently as he could. A question said girl answered by hitting the son of the Prince of Darkness over the head and hissing a low "I'll be a lot better when you get your tail off my leg!" at him.
The boy quickly obliged, afraid of getting the most sensitive part of his body torn off by a girl who could probably give his biological father a run for his money at times.
He took a deep breath to let his heart calm down before turning back to the girl, he didn't have to worry about the fact that he was in detention since Shura really didn't care if they talked, as long as they didn't wake her up, and she had already fallen asleep again anyways.
"So what did you do to earn yourself a place in this room?", Rin asked, generally curious, considering she had always been the example of a perfect student in his eyes. She was always at least 10 minutes early to class, she never scored less than 95% on tests, she always payed attention and she always had her homework done. He really had no idea what she could have done. Well, that's not true, there is one thing he could think of…
"Not that it's any of your business", she started, "but I yelled at Shima, very loudly, in the middle of class"
Yep, that was the one thing he was thinking about that could be the cause of her sitting here. He snickered thinking about the stubborn pinkette. "yeah, he's the only player I know that has a success rate of 0%", Rin said with chuckle, which surprisingly earned him a smile from Izumo. It was just one corner of her mouth curling up for a half a second, and he knew she would never admit it happened, but he was glad he was able to make her feel a little better, since she was obviously frustrated about being here.
They continued to talk for a while, and even though Izumo still had her shield up by the end of detention and kept acting as if Rin was just a bother to her, he felt like he'd made her feel better about her day, and that made him pretty goddamn happy.
By the time Shura's alarm woke her up and announced them they could finally go back to their respective dorms, Rin's stomach was growling pretty loudly.
"Hey, Kamiki, it's pretty late and we don't have school or cram school tomorrow, would you like to grab something to eat together?" Rin asked, heat creeping up his neck onto his face and looking down at the ground embarrassed. Izumo, however, held her stoic expression, not showing any emotion apart from a very light pink dusting on her cheeks as she responded, "yeah, that's fine, let's go"
Rin grinned happily as the two of them walked down the hall, wearing his heart on his sleeve as always. Unbeknownst to him, Izumo also had a small smile on her face at the thought of them having dinner together.
