Kaichou's Dreams Ch.3
"Alright class that's enough practice problems for today. You'll now have a 10 minute break," 2nd grade teacher, Nakamari-sensei said. She then let everyone leave the classroom before they started working on reading. Misaki walked out of the class room, but stayed nearby.
"Hey Misaki, you're not going to the restroom?" Hinata asked while sucking on a hard candy.
"Nope, I don't have to go so I'm staying here. And Yo-kun, take that candy out of your mouth before Nakamari-sensei sees it," Misaki said.
"Aww….but it's so yummy!" Hinata said as he continued to suck on it.
Misaki grabbed a tissue out of her dress pocket, put it in her hand, and held her hand out in front of Hinata.
"Spit it out Yo-kun. I don't want you getting into trouble," Misaki said.
"Aww, okay Misaki-chan." Hinata unwillingly obeyed and spit the candy out into her hand. Misaki then threw it away in the classroom trash can.
"Well I'll see you in a few minutes!" Yo-kun then walked down the hallway to the boys' restroom.
"I don't know what I'm going to do with him," Misaki thought, sighing. "He's sweet, but always asking for trouble."
Misaki then heard some girls in her grade from another class walking down the hallway and whispering to one another.
"Hey, did you see the new boy in class 3?" one girl said.
"Yeah! He hardly says anything and has this bored look on his face," the other girl said back. "It's our first break, and he hasn't even bothered to leave his seat. He just seems to be staring out the window."
"Ehh? That is strange…" the other girl responded. "Maybe he's just really shy."
"New student that hardly says anything…?" Misaki pondered.
Just then Nakamori-sensei called the students back into the classroom, so Misaki went inside and Hinata ran in after her.
After classes had finally ended, Misaki packed up her school bag and walked out of the classroom with Hinata.
"Hey Misaki-chan, you heard about the new kid in our grade right?" Hinata asked.
"Yeah, I heard he doesn't talk to anyone. What about him?" Misaki asked as they left the entrance to the school.
"Well…I asked him where he came from while he was in the bathroom when I was, and all he said was, 'From some place far from here.' Then I asked him why he moved here and he said, 'Because I'm looking for something.' I then asked what he was looking for, and then he just walked away. It was really weird," Hinata said with a confused look on his face. He then popped a lemon flavored candy in his mouth.
"I agree with you Yo-kun. Those were some…confusing answers. Kind of like he doesn't want anyone to know anything about him," Misaki said. "But I wonder what it is he's looking for."
"It's you," a faraway voice said behind them.
Misaki and Hinata turned around to see a blonde-haired, green eyed young boy around their age staring at them from the entrance of the school.
"Who?" Misaki asked him, confused.
"You," the blonde-haired boy pointed at her.
Misaki stiffened at his response. "Me? Why me?" she asked.
"Because," the blonde answered.
He then began to slowly walk towards her, and Misaki had a worried expression on her face.
"Because you're caring, encouraging, and hardworking," the blonde boy said, starting to look a little older.
"But can also be stubborn, aggressive, and a little demonic," the blonde one continued, his voice dropping lower and looking around thirteen years old.
"But my favorite parts about you are how your sudden smiles make my heart race," the blonde young man continued, looking about age sixteen now.
"and how much you love me as I love you," he finished, now looking down at Misaki as his 18 year-old self, while Misaki herself was also 18. He then lightly cupped her face and leaned in to kiss her.
Misaki awoke to find someone actually kissing her on the lips. She then opened her eyes to find a head of thick blonde hair.
"Uwah, Usui! What are you doing?" Misaki yelled, pushing him away. She was laying on Usui's couch in his apartment.
"Well I went to the kitchen to make some tea for you and I while you're busy studying for your college exams. I came back here about 10 minutes later and found you lying on my couch," Takumi explained. His tone then became playful as he continued, "I called your name and even poked you, but you didn't respond so I assumed you were unconscious and I decided to give you my version of BLS."
"BLS my foot Takumi! Ugh, you're such a pervert," Misaki said.
"Ohhh, so Misa-chan wants me to perform BLS on her foot now does she?" Takumi said with a mischievous grin. "I don't mind doing that." He then proceeded to cradle her right foot in his hands, leaning over to kiss it. Misaki harshly pulled her foot away from him and sat up straight.
"Stupid Usui! I was just using an expression! I didn't mean the real thing!" Misaki said angrily.
"Aww, Misa-chan's so mean!" Usui whined. "I was going to include a foot massage in there too since you've been working so hard."
"I don't have time for that, I need to finish studying for my exams. No distractions!" Misaki pointed her finger at him.
"But you must have agreed to become my fiancée because I am a distraction," Takumi said, dramatically running a hand through his hair.
Misaki's cheeks turned red. "No, I agreed because…" Misaki trailed off.
"Because….why?" Takumi asked.
"Because…you make me feel happy….and I want to make you…happy…" Misaki slowly admitted.
Takumi smiled sweetly. "And because you love me as I love you, right?" he asked.
Misaki's eyes widened as she realized that what Takumi said was the same as what he said in her dream. She gave a small nod of her head.
Takumi put his arms around her and pulled her into a hug. Misaki did the same and nuzzled her face into his chest.
"Well it would make me happy if Misa-chan would allow me to give her a foot massage," Takumi whispered into her ear. "I can tell she needs a break since she fell asleep here a few moments ago."
Misaki pulled away from him, and let out a heavy sigh. "Fine, if that'll keep you from distracting me any further."
"I promise," Takumi assured her.
Misaki laid back down on the couch as Takumi placed her feet on top of his lap. He then proceeded to gently yet firmly massage the sole of her foot. Misaki could almost feel herself melting at the sensation, unaware of the face she was making.
"Heheh, does that feel good, Misa-chan?" Takumi asked her with a grin.
Misaki snapped out of her trance. "Huh? What? Did I say I liked it?"
Takumi lightly laughed. "No, but your face said everything. You looked so relaxed."
Misaki's face turned pink. "Well, maybe I did like it…, " she said, looking away, "…a little."
"It's perfectly fine to relax you know," Takumi smiled. "You'll feel much better afterwards."
Misaki stared at him for a little while, and then slowly closed her eyes.
"Okay…" she said, giving into him.
Takumi continued to massage her right foot and then proceeded with her left foot. A few minutes later he began to hear Misaki breathing deeply. Takumi hummed laughingly.
"She fell back asleep," he said to himself. "Well, she did need to rest anyway."
Takumi stopped massaging her left foot and looked at the sun setting outside the window.
"I'll wake her up later to walk her back home," he thought.
He gently lifted both her feet off of his lap to get up from the couch and then placed them back where had sat. He then looked at her sleeping face, admiring how peaceful and cute she looked, and leaned over to place a kiss on her forehead.
"Sweet dreams, kaichou," he whispered.
