"Excuse me."
The first words he'd spoken all semester. Blinking in suprise, a small grin eventually lifted Rin's mouth and he stretched out his long legs, shifted from his seated position on the desk. Funny. The kid's tone was quiet and low - almost strained, like he was irritated. If it wasn't for the fact that class was just about to start, he may have bugged him a bit more. Just to get another rare reaction like this.
"Ahh, sorry." He didn't sound sorry. With a friendly chuckle, Rin rapped his knuckles against the wooden surface. "... Nanase, right?" As expected, the boy only sat down and stared at him. He continued, "See, I'm getting better at remembering names."
Nothing.
Fifteen-year olds pissed him off for a reason. They were at that 'cold shoulder' age; he knew too well from experience.
However, looking at the situation before him, Rin figured that Nanase Haruka had probably ... well, always been like this. As the student-teacher, it was his duty to become familiarized with the students; so he urged the conversation on. "You use standard kanji, I'm guessing? 'Seven' and ... 'rapids'? 'Shallows?' I wonder what kana that would be..." The boy appeared uninterested in the syllabary of his name. "Although, I sorta expected you to be a girl during roll call. Mostly because of your given name. Y'know, which isn't so bad. It's better than mine, since - "
"Are you done?" He caught the glare directed up at him. Ah. Round eyes - really damn blue. Ones you could swim in for hours. With a pert little nose and healthy rosy cheeks, even the unmoving scowl on his lips was revoked. He'd grow up to be looker, no doubt.
"Yeah, yeah."
Rin reached out to muss up his ebony hair, earning a ripe grumble from the boy. Shark teeth flashed on display.
"An honor to finally hear your voice. Nanase-kun."
