A/N: I'm so sorry, Look into the future is currently on hold right now. Not for too long, I hope but I will be uploading again soon.
Admirable couple. Inseparable duo. The living example of fairy tale. Many people assumed but only few knows what is really behind the curtains they called perfection.
Her beauty is only visible to those who will look beyond her glasses. Everything thinks, knows her as the plain little nerd in love with science and everything related to it. Her glasses serves as protection and support, her hair tied in a neat twin braids for it not to get in the way during experiments and voice reserved to only those who will listen. Aside from her family and close friends, she never gives or receives attention from other people that much. Only few understands, only him.
He is well known through and through from his devilishly handsome looks, playful personality and ingenious pranks. Many eyes are on him for his looks, definitely with his unusual red silky hair, gold eyes and boyish grin. Most do not understand why he loved pranking and fighting and only few knows what's going on his mind though, only those who can look past the handsome face and golden orbs to his heart. Only few understands, only her.
They graduated middle school and attend different high schools about two years ago. They made their relationship official a few months back. Their middle school friends and family already knew that its coming, thinking that finally, after all they've been through they will finally, finally truly be happy because that's what they deserved.
Attending different schools is hard but never become a hindrance. He will visit when he can and she is the happiest when he does. Their friends are very supportive with a certain 2D lover promised to watch out for any wolf that will try to get near the devil's possession; the promise was more because of the empty threats of the red haired rather than chivalry though. He knew he will not truly hurt him but it's not worth the risk and looking after a friend is alright with him too, at least he will be on the good side rather than the bad and it does not require much effort.
"There are guys from sports department betting on her, I will send you the names." The call ended as quickly as it came with a brief thank you from the other end. Kotaro Takebayashi's glasses glimmered with the reflection of his screen while standing near the gym waiting for his equally science lover friend. He sighed thinking how their sports team will have to retract from the upcoming inter school sports festival. He shrugged as he put his phone back in his pocket thinking it will be better being them than him.
On the other hand, his now friend slash rival is making sure that he will not do anything stupid, or at least making sure that everything he will do will be cleaned afterwards. If it was the old him, or if his girlfriend didn't threaten him, he will not help the annoying brat and will use what they are doing as an advantage but no. Due to his girlfriend's constant meddling with the couple, he will have to get involved else she will also get in trouble.
The class started as soon as the bell rang with the source of his headache had yet to arrive. The teacher entered with a new student following closely. Announcing that the student will be joining their class from the day on forward which he was about to dismiss until he saw a girl standing in front. Oh. Hell. No. He will not be dealing with another case of acid burned hair.
He was about to whisper to Ren Sakakibara, one of his min—err, friend who is sitting beside him to charm the girl, part of his preventive maintenance to make sure that new students will not be looking in his way more than they should be. The red head has certain charms to newcomers and as if on cue of whoever devil who wanted his life worst, the idiot arrived with a teasing smile like he was trying to challenge the teacher. Their homeroom teacher, who is used to his antics just sighed and decided to just dismiss his student's tardiness.
Looking back at the new female student and seeing the all too familiar look, it is quite obvious that the girl is attracted to the new arrival. He sighed thinking all the trouble he went through to make sure those varsities from Oku Tokyo will keep their mouth shut, not that they can still speak much with all the cuts and bruises the devil afflicted to them. Now, he will have to deal with another case of bad science experiment victim or they can blame it again to the ghost of Shiroyasha rumor that has been going around ever since they entered high school. He grimaced at the thought knowing all too well the origin of the rumor.
"Oi Ass-ano-kun, you looked like your dog died. Do you want me to help you burying your imaginary friend?" The devil grinned as he walked to the empty chair behind him.
"No, but someone is about to and I hope you will help me clean up the mess this time." He answered without looking back. Knowing the guy, he is probably smirking to himself right now because he knew it and he loved every second of it. What they are doing is sick, but he knew he is too.
A month passed by quickly without any incident happening. The transfer student already made friends but is still trying to get the red head's attention even after knowing that the guy is taken. He visibly flinched when the girl even have the audacity to say out loud that she is better that the nerd girl he is dating, he quickly whipped his head to see if he's around, luckily it was lunch time and he is probably sleeping at the rooftop or the under one of the trees outside.
After that faithful day though is the start of the transferee's suffering. For some reason, her odor during cheerleading practice is becoming more and more… bad. The usually prim and graceful girl is also sweating profusely with just the simplest routine and her squad started talking behind her back about it.
The transferee is still insistent in pursuing the red head only to be not so politely dismissed by the said lad. As she continues with her antics, chaos followed her way. Her odor is still an issue during gym class and practices that most of her classmates are avoiding her during these periods. The girl also looks like she never noticed or she just doesn't care. Her bento also sent her back and forth the comfort room the next day after she offered some to her subject of affection. There was another time when her shriek can be heard around the campus after her golden blonde hair turned purple a few days after trying to get a touch of his bloody red hair.
There's really a fine line between courage and stupidity, Asano thought as he walked down the corridor after the girl declared to the whole class about her intention to catch whoever is sabotaging her which is fine, really, but if he will let it be and the issue goes out to the public again, they can say goodbye to the very little reputation they have left for their school after the middle school system leaked out few years ago. He sighed as he walked past the science lab, hearing something bubbling inside he entered and the sight of a raven haired lass adorning a different set of uniform is currently concocting something that looks very complicated and lethal. He let his presence known and left with a nod as the girl smiled in acknowledgement before returning to what she was doing.
He met the blonde transferee on his way back to the student council office. The girl is currently patrolling the grounds for any suspicious person. Deciding that it is already late and he have to go home soon, he directed the unsuspecting girl to the science lab before continuing his walk back to the office.
Red streaks illuminated the room as soon as he entered as the lad's red hair is being reflected by the light coming from window where he is sitting at. "Shouldn't you be stopping her right now?" Golden eyes shimmered in delight, feral grin made in his lips. The red haired stood and walked out of the room, the lab is his next destination.
He followed after another fifteen minutes for a cleanup and what he saw is not something that he didn't expect. Somehow in some way, it always ends up like this. Always.
The girl's back is facing him when he entered with the lad in front of her, their movements gave it away that they are making out, hard as he may say with his hand somewhere in between her legs and his polo shirt torn open and the shirt below it in is slightly lifted. They always do it afterwards, after a jealousy arises, after it was amended. It seems that these kinds of feeling arouses them or at least enhances their sexual drive but he is having none of it. Not in his classroom and not when his woman is away.
No smoke or brewing chemicals can be seen but he knew better. It is faint but it's always there, the fumes from an unnamed chemical the girl uses during these situations. The blonde transferee is laying on the floor a couple of feet away from the duo. He sighed as he took a bottle and pour some of its contents to his trusty handkerchief. He entered the room with the handkerchief to his nose and went directly to the unconscious girl. He picked up the girl, throwing her to her shoulders intending to bring her to the infirmary when he caught another grin from the red head and a grateful smile from the timid girl. At least he got a promise that they will vouch for him when his lady came back for vacation.
Nodding at the two, he reminded them to clean up afterwards as he proceeded to deposit the girl to the infirmary while calling Ren Sakakibara for damage control. He sighed and went home uncharacteristically wishing for the summer vacation to come sooner.
