Creative Writing
DISCLAIMER: Mine? Not at all!
AUTHOR'S NOTE: For Rin's 'creative writing' prompt. Sorry it took me so long dear, and I do hope you enjoy! Real English teacher (changed the name), actually, thought I changed the name. Nice guy, one of the best English teachers I ever had. Though he did have it in his head that you had to be doing 'something' every second of class, so gave annoying assignments like this. I'm sorry it is so short.
"Are you serious? We're in high school!" Kurogane blurted mouth agape.
"Well, when you have something to say, please raise your hand. We all know that by now. And I am serious," Mr. Sparks answered. "You will never waste time in this class room… not even on the first day. We'll take the opportunity to get to know each other."
There was a groan from the room- no doubt everyone had been hoping the assignment was a joke; Kurogane was the only one with the guts to ask.
"Now, I want to treat you all like responsible young adults, so split yourselves up into groups of two. Working not talking, if you can't do that I'll have to treat you like kids, and put you into groups," he paused, in a way that indicated he didn't want to spend his time doing so, "You don't want that; I don't want that. Trust me."
Before Kurogane even had time to mentally curse the man's existence he was attacked by a particular blonde classmate.
"Kuro-rin is my partner!" Fai shouted.
"No," 'Kuro-rin' growled, he did not need any further aggravation.
"But, Kuro-chan," Fai whined, seating himself on the front of Kurogane's desk gingerly, "I'm your boyfriend, don't you want an excuse to write me a beautiful declaration of your love?"
"NO!"
"Well, too bad. You took so long to pick, everyone else is in groups already," Fai said. Kurogane looked about him, and sure enough, all the other desks were messily pushed together in twos. "I'll get my desk!"
Fai did so, and then pulled his book bag over as well. He ruffled around in it a moment, extracting a pen and a sheet of lined paper.
"Hmm… K, U, R, O, G, A, N, Kuro-pon has along name! E, Y, O…"
Kurogane cut the blond off before he could go on with the recitation, "I know how to spell my name, and so do you!"
"Pff, meany," came Fai's answer, complete with a childish slap to the others arm. "K, k, k… courageous!"
"That's C, moron!"
"Fine!" Fai snapped, "Kissable."
"That's worse," Kurogane muttered. "Now, shut up, so I can actually finish this thing. It's for a grade."
He pulled out his own notebook and wrote Fai's name along the side- Fai D. Flowright. D, who the hell gives their kid a letter for a middle name, he wondered. He glanced at the young man across from him, whose paper now read: Kissable adorable Undeniable Ravishing. He was tapping his pencil loudly on the table, apparently stumped on what word to next mutilate for the letter 'O'.
What the hell was he going to write?
--
"Kissable, Undeniable, Ravishing, Original, Gorgeous, Attractive, Elegant, Young, Obvious, Udorable, Orange, Unavailable." Fai finished the monstrosity with a smile, having eagerly thrown his hand in the air when Sparks had asked for volunteers to read their poems aloud. There was a sort of confused silence punctuated only by giggles of classmates who had held Fai's sexuality in suspect and now no longer did. There was no question any longer.
"That sure was... interesting," Mr. Sparks said, with a confused look in his eyes. "Any other volunteers?"
"Kuro-handsome volunteers!" Fai cheered.
"Apparently you're next," Mr., Sparks said, pointing at the black haired teen.
With a glare at Fai for good measure, Kurogane began mumbling his way through the 'poem'.
"Come on now, we can't hear you."
He grumbled and began again. "Foolish, Annoying, Imbecile, Dumb, Freak, Lunatic, Obnoxious, Weakling, Retarded, Idiotic, Gullible, Troublesome."
Fai clapped exuberantly as Kurogane finished, oblivious it would seem to fact the 'poem' was nothing but insults.
"I love you too, Kuro-pii," he whispered in the other's ear. Kurogane thanked whatever higher power watched over him that he only had this one class with Fai. Well then the bus ride home… and they did live across the street from each other. (Still time spent with Fai outside of school was usually much more enjoyable than time at school…due to the lack of certain restrictions.)
Mr. Sparks stared at the two a moment, before instructing everyone that they should push their desks back to where they belonged and wait for the bell to ring. Fai decided that he would rather wait out the remainder of class on Kurogane's desk.
Just when Kurogane finally though he had been granted relief from his embarrassment and annoyance by the bell, he was wrong. He heard a soft command for him to wait from the teacher's desk. He did turn back, but it was not willingly.
"I don't actually know what your relationship with Fai is," Mr. Sparks began, "Besides the obvious one. But what I need to know I, do you think it's going to cause problems in this class?"
Kurogane sighed; this was going to be a long year.
END NOTE: So, as far as Fai's full name goes, I know that there are (n x 10 ^10000) spellings of his name. I had to pick one; I used not my usual one but rather the official Del Ray translation version. So please don't come tell me I've got it wrong! Udorable is on purpose, it's just Fai being anoying and playing stupid.
