Chiba and Hayami were sitting in front of the local ice cream shop, in the middle of one of their usual dates.
"So I hear Karma went on a double date with Asano." Said Hayami.
"No way."
"Hard to believe I know."
As they talked a young girl holding an ice cream cone walked by and tripped, her icecream falling out of her grasp. Chiba quickly caught it and bent down, offering the frozen treat to the child.
"You might want to be more careful."
Chiba expected the girl to take her ice cream and go about her business, but she didn't.
From the angle she stood at the girl could see Chiba's eyes. The sight of them scared her and made her run away in tears.
"Wai-... Sigh... Not again..."
Hayami gave Chiba a confused look.
"What just happened?"
"... My eyes..."
Chiba let the girl's ice cream fall to the ground as he got up and walked away.
"Ryu wait."
Hayami followed her fellow sniper.
Chiba finally came to a stop by an old playground, its equipment rusted and in disrepair.
"Hold up!"
Hayami caught up to Chiba and stared at him.
"What do you mean your eyes?" She asked. "Come to think of it we've been dating for awhile, and I haven't seen your eyes at all."
Chiba sighed and walked to the playground, taking a seat on the ground by a rusted jungle gym. He gestured for Hayami to sit next to him and she did.
"Theres a reason my hair is like this..."
Chiba looked at a set of rusted swings.
"I was born with very intimidating looking eyes... My mom says its something I inherited from my grandfather."
"Go on."
"When I was younger... Everyone was scared of me... Because of my eyes."
Chiba's fists tightened.
"They thought I was going to hurt them... That I looked like a thug..."
"Ryu..."
"I grew my hair out to hide my eyes... But sometimes things like what happened with the child still happen."
"... Let me see them." Said Hayami.
"What?"
"Your eyes, I want to see them."
Hayami managed to move fast enough to lift Chiba's hair and see the eyes hidden underneath.
They were an unusual pink in color, very sharp in shape, like they could physically pierce someone with their gaze. Hayami simply looked at Chiba unfazed as the boy sat in shock.
"R-Rinka..."
"... I don't think they're scary."
"Y-you don't?"
"No... These aren't the eyes of a thug... They're too soft for that."
Hayami smiled, a rare occurrence for her.
"I think they're attractive..."
"Rinka..."
The two closed their eyes and leaned in for a kiss.
CRASH
Their eyes shot open and they saw Korosensei standing behind the collapsed remains of the jungle gym, a notebook in his tentacles.
"My my, the state of this equipment is a safety concern." Said Korosensei.
"..."
"..."
Nobody was in the area, but if they were then they would have seen the yellow teacher being chased off by the two students as they shot at him with anti-sensei pistols.
"GET BACK HERE YOU PEEPING TOM!"
For that brief moment, they each had something in their sights other than their target.
This was originally written as part of a third and final Class a Files story, but I have since canceled that project and started Bells Ringing Instead. I also wanted somethings to post on Valentine's Day so I'll be posting a few stories from the project for the holiday.
