Hiruma's POV

Chapter 51... Distastefully

Something's wrong. Everything is quiet, peaceful, even if the fucking oldman was stupid enough to put his arm around my Sena. Sena feels different. He isn't his brightest. We're finally going to the same school- well, we will next year- finally together peacefully. He doesn't know about the assignment. He doesn't have anything to worry about.

But what if he knows? What if the reason he is acting like this is because he knows and wants to confront me about it? What will I do if he tries to leave?

"Holy mother of God, I can't take this." I mumbled darkly in the back corner of the classroom of my last period class.

Last period just started. It'll be over in an hour. When that happens, I'll be able to see Sena again. I'll take him home, we'll get ready, and then we'll go on our date to the plaza. We'll shop, eat, trick-or-treat, and just be merry.

"Right? So last period needs to fucking end already. Sena is waiting!" I cried inwardly.

.

Using the last five minutes of class to find Sena and wait for him outside his classroom, I observed the people around him. A monkey is hanging all around him. What the hell? But wait! That must be Sena's friend, right? Probably one of his first friends here, right? If I intervene he might not get another friend as easily. Must. Not. Interfere.

R-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-riiing~!

The bell rang and the students started flooding from the classrooms. Eyes seeking out Sena's adorable-ass hair, they surfed over the crowd of people. After waiting a minute, I started to panic. He's. Not. There. Then, I saw him and the monkey exit the classroom with the rest of the stranglers.

"Oi, Sena," I grabbed his attention.

He turned his attention directly at me at the sound of my voice. Unfortunately, I can't tell by the look on his face if he is exceedingly happy to see me or nervous to the point of shredding smiles.

"Hi-Hiruma!"

I'm thinking both.

"Sena, who's your friend?" I turned to the monkey, trying to put on a decent face.

"I am Raimon Taro. Nice to meet you." the monkey put his hand out for me to shake in greeting.

"Hiruma Yoichi. A privilege." I shook it politely.

"He doesn't seem to approve of me very much. There's an edge to his attitude towards me." I recognized the slight distaste. It was similar to that of Riku's only a lot softer.

Walking home, Raimon parted with us not too far from the apartment. Che, we will probably end up seeing him tonight.

Strutting into the apartment, Sena stalled me in the breezeway.

"Hi-Hiruma," he started, the dread building in my stomach. "We need to talk."

:

UH! I don't wanna write this part but it must be DONE! Once it's over, we'll all be happy, so, yeah. I just have to get it over with... Huh.
