"Yo- I mean Hi- Hello- uhm ...G-Good evening Mr Toudou." Her words hitched as she spoke
"Good evening... May I ask who is speaking?"
"Shizu- ku... 's mom... Ehem, How can I help you?"
"... Ahh, Yo Shizu."
Damn it
"Was it my superb and flawless way of *ehem* talkin' ... Mr Kondou." She sighed
"Nah you sold it at mom. Anyhow do you mind if I speak to her, it's kind of important."
"Whateeeeeever it is I didn't do it-"
"It's about your school payments, also if I called about that I'd be right anyway."
"Ahh."
"Ahh?"
"..."
"Shizu are you alright."
"I'll tell her you called."
"Shiz-"
Killing the line before he could finish, she rolled over and lazily studied her roof.
'Wow, that's a first. I don't usually forget payday... I must have a fever.' A somewhat satifying image of her coolcat's bright red face half hiding behind a oak tree swam in her mind. 'What an idiot. He has to be the sweetest damn thing in the world, but it's no mistery why he's still single. When he talks to girls it's like putting an elephant on a tricycle. To amusing for words and you just can't wait for him to fall off. '
Smiling from ear to ear she drifted off into-
BANG.
The impact of the sound was pretty close to a gunshot. And guns are cool when they're INSIDE of the glass box with moving pictures.
"THE VIRGIN KID NEXT DOOR HAS MILLIONS, I SWEAR HE -" she stopped when she heard the gentle sounds of muffled cursing outside her window. Her heart throbbed in her throat.
"What the -" peering down at what seemed to be a pair of legs hanging out from her porch she hurried down the stairs ripping open the door.
"YOU HAVE YESTERDAY TO EXPLAIN WHY YOU JUST SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME SAITO HAJIME."
He had his back turned to her. Sitting on the floor gripping his knee all curled up like a ball. His voice came out soft like he just had his breath kicked out of him. ' How sweet. '
" Did you- just r- rad me o-out to a imaginary thief? ... also you - have th- the most stupid step- inf-front of your door."
"I also called you a virgin." She snickered at him. "And I said yesterday asin now. What do you want? Come to steal a midnight kiss I presume. How gross." She grinned and pressed a heavy foot on his back. He was quiet. "Hey you didn't pass out from pain did you, what happened?"
'There were only 3 times Saito Hajime would give you an 'exceptionally' akward silence'
'1) He had to much blood in his face than his brain.
2) He was contemplating how to kick your ass in a professional way.
And 3) He was... Well... I guess that's why I feel kind of puzzled.'
"..."
"Yo, how's your boyfriend Hajimekun."
"MY WHAT."
"Ahh so your voice works."
"That's not even- how do you - I mean- you-"
"Relax, it'd be a crying shame if you start to swing that way... Then I couldn't love you like I do-"
"Love me?" He was still looking at the road, and the thought of missing his flustered facial expression was enough to make her jump over onto his back and smirk over his shoulder. "Ahh so you-"
Something felt off, he wouldn't look at her. And to her supprise he didn't rush away, didn't bury his face in behind his hair and didn't so much as blush which left her no words.
"First of all how dare you." She barked
"Pardon?" He questioned her.
"Come on gimme something Saitokitten. React dammit, a beautiful girl is hanging over your shoulders and all you do is look at a damn tar road."
"Since when am I Saitokitten. I thought I was your epic love." He said flatly and grabbed his phone flipping through his messages. Besides the fact that he said that without even an ounce of shame...
"Oh God... This is a dream."
Ignoring her he pressed a bright phone into her face. "That's a message from Sen, I believe you two are acquaint- I mean friends."
The way he said it made her laugh roughly.
"Friends? Who needeth such petty things. FRIENDS ARE FOR THE WEAK-" she guffawed and dramatically through her hands in the air.
"Just read it."
Her eyes scanned through the message.
From Sen
'Dear Saitohajimekun #shizu's epic love ;3 ;3 3 3 take good care of my baby girl. I'm glad my parents found an apartment so close to your Shizu. ( ~ '*' )~ G'night Saitohajimekun.
'Whoops! Typo XD School not Shizu.'
"So this was that dwaft child's doing... I miscalculated." She said seriously and slapped his phone back in his hand jumping up.
"So there you have -" He went dead quiet looking at her attire. His face filled with a tipe of horror she had never seen before. And quiet surely, turned a shade of red that would put a slaughterhouse to shame.
