AN: Hello again everyone! Sorry for the longer wait on this one, school gets hectic sometimes. Hopefully you all enjoy the chapter and will share your thoughts and opinions in the comments! It really makes my day no matter what you say!
Naoto closed the front door to his house as he walked in. Despite his best efforts to calm his mind, Hayase had effectively performed a Fatality on his brain.
"Hey, Is that you Naoto?"
Naoto snapped out of his stupor for a minute and walked into his living room. Sitting on the couch was his Father, who was watching a movie that Naoto didn't recognize.
"Yeah sorry Dad, should've said something when I came in." Naoto said.
"That's alright, just glad you're okay. It's pretty late, you know." Naoto's father said without taking his gaze off the television.
"Sorry about that. I was gonna text as I left Nagatoro's but…" Naoto's voice trailed off as he remembered what Nagatoro had said before he left.
Naoto's father looked away from the television and at his son. "Did something happen?"
Naoto's face blushed a little from the memory and said "N-No. Well nothing bad if that's what you mean."
Naoto's father nodded, and relaxed a little. Then followed up with "Well good then. I hope you two had fun then." He said teasingly with a smirk. He then continued with "Glad you're home safe, and next time do your best to let us know if you're running late."
Naoto nodded his head in agreement and said, "Will do, sorry to worry you guys."
Naoto's father resumed his movie and said "Thanks bud, I appreciate that. Love you."
"Love you too Dad." Naoto said before turning and going upstairs to his bedroom.
Naoto closed the door to his bedroom and placed his bag on the ground by his door. Then took a seat on his bed. He sat there contemplating the events of the day.
Naoto felt his phone vibrate in his pocket and he quickly grabbed it out, anticipating the sender. It was of course Nagatoro.
"Did you make it home okay?" She asked
Naoto couldn't tell if he was disappointed or thankful of the fact she hadn't used his name again. On one hand it was really nice to hear, but on the other he wasn't sure if his sanity could survive another death blow like that.
"Yeah, I was just talking to my Dad. He just was a little worried about me being out so late." Naoto responded.
After a few seconds Nagatoro sent back a message. "Okay, good. I was worried that I'd melted your virgin brain so bad you'd get lost."
Naoto flushed at Hayase's text, embarrassed that she knew how much just saying his name had messed with him. He quickly replied with, "You didn't melt my brain that bad."
Hayase's response came a little slower than he'd expected, but when it did it said, "So you admit it melted your brain? Gross Senpai~!"
Naoto facepalmed for walking into that one. He was in the middle of typing up a response when another message from Hayase came.
"I'm actually pretty tired Senpai, teasing a super virgin like you takes a lot of effort, so I'm gonna go to bed now. Considering how easily you walked into that last one, you should too. I'll text you later Senpai~!"
Naoto sighed. She was right, he probably should go to bed too. He sent a goodnight message to Nagatoro and set his phone down on his desk. As he started getting ready for bed he remembered that he'd set his bag in an awkward place and picked it up. As Naoto lifted up the bag he remembered what the whole point of going over to Nagatoro's was, and opened the bag. He pulled out the sketch he spent the day working on.
Naoto looked over the sketch. There were still a few things that needed to be touched up, but nothing that required bothering Hayase over. He smiled. It was admittedly really good. Hayase was right, the look she had while she was sketching him was one of determination.
Naoto set the sketchbook onto his desk and finished getting ready for bed.
Besides the excursion to Nagatoro's house the weekend was rather uneventful. Naoto spent a good amount of time playing games, watching shows, and reading Manga. However, all good things of course must come to an end and the school week begins.
Naoto had a bad case of the Mondays. Considering the fun he had over the weekend with Hayase, the regular drawl of school was almost unbearable.
Naoto sat in the Art Room, his Oasis. Despite the recent invasion of Nagatoro and her friends it was still the best spot to eat his lunch at, bar none. Although he'd never admit it to them, he was glad to have the company.
Today however, it seemed like the group wasn't coming in for lunch. Feeling a little disappointed at the thought, Naoto said, "Guess it'll be a quiet lunch today."
Almost immediately after the words left his mouth the door to the Art Room slammed open. "Not if I have anything to say about it, loner Senpai!"
After recovering from jumping out of his skin he looked over and saw Hayase standing at the door frame, a wide grin on her face. Clearly amused by her successful jump scare. Naoto let out a sigh, one mixed with both relief and irritation. "You couldn't just open the door normally and say that?" Naoto said to his Kohai.
Hayase laughed and skipped into the room, "Where's the fun in that Senpai? Your expressions are my favorite part!" Hayase said, blushing a little.
Naoto shook his head and then noticed the lack of Hayase's friends. He then asked, "Hey where is everyone else? I thought you ate lunch with them most of the time?"
"Oh I told them I was gonna eat up here today, they didn't seem to mind." Hayase said as she took a seat at the table, pushing a few art supplies to the side.
"Ah okay." Naoto said, He resumed eating his lunch as Hayase pulled out her own from her pack. He noticed it happened to be the same meal they'd cooked together last weekend. Naoto then said "I'm surprised you're still eating that, considering how much we ate I figured you'd be sick of it."
"Nah, this turned out really good. Unfortunately my family also really liked it so this is the last of it." Hayase said. "Oh, also." she continued "My family liked it so much my parents wanted me to thank you for making dinner that night."
Naoto flushed a little at the compliment and said "Oh, well it was a team effort. Like I said then, it only turned out that good because you were there too." That in turn made Hayase flush a little.
The two of them sat and ate their respective lunches for a few minutes until Hayase spoke up.
"Hey, what's that you're eating?"
"Just some Yakisoba. Why?" Naoto replied.
Hayase pursed her lips, and then asked, "Is it the garlic kind again?"
Naoto, wary of where this was going said, "No… Why?"
Hayase grinned and quickly said "Oh no reason, I just wanted to try some."
Naoto, still confused, asked, "I thought you didn't like garlic?"
"I don't, but don't worry about it." She said, an evil glint in her eye.
Naoto shook his head, and warily continued eating his food. After a few minutes of them eating, they both finished their respective lunches. Naoto then heard Hayase speak up again.
"Hey by the way Senpai, how'd your sketch turn out? I didn't get a chance to see it again before you had to leave."
"Oh, it's okay. I still need to finish a few things." Naoto said, hoping to deter her. He had a feeling where this was going.
"C'mon Senpai! Lemme see it! I'm sure you have it with you, knowing you creepy Senpai~!"
"J-Just because I have it on me doesn't mean it's creepy!" Naoto said back to his teasing Kohai.
She giggled at his response and then nodded her head in expectation. Naoto sighed and pulled the sketchbook out of his bag. Setting his bag down, he began to flick through the pages of the sketch book. Most of them were the still lifes he was fond of, however, more than a few were of Nagatoro. He got to the most recent sketch, which of course was the one of Nagatoro sketching him.
"Woooow Senpai! That's really good!" Hayase said. She'd somehow managed to sneak behind him while he was flipping through the pages. That was the second time she'd made him jump that day. Naoto swore and said "When did you get so good at that?"
Hayase giggled mischievously at his reaction but continued with what she was saying. "Well Senpai, I gotta live up to my promise." Naoto gulped at her words as he realised what she meant. Hayase continued. "It's time for your SUPER good reward Senpai!~".
Hayase began to walk to his front, Naoto still sitting in his chair stammered out a response, "N-No really that's okay Nagatoro!"
Undeterred by his words, Hayase was now standing in front of the sitting Naoto. She placed her hands on his shoulders and pushed him into his chair so he was sitting straight, his back against the back of the chair. Naoto let out a surprised gasp with the force the girl could generate. "W-What are you doing?" was all he managed before Hayase sat down on his lap, straddling Naoto. Naoto's already flushed face burned even brighter as his imagination ran wild.
Naoto felt Nagatoro's hands travel from his shoulders. She gently passed over his clavicles and stopped at his upper sternum. She began to pull on the collar of his shirt. Naoto, who's face felt like fire with how much he was blushing. "Hayase w-wait! What if someone sees us?!" Naoto said in a last ditch attempt to get his Kohai to reconsider.
Hayase, who herself was pretty red from the situation, flushed from Naoto saying her name and stopped pulling for all but a second before continuing. She giggled and said "You don't have to worry about that, gross Senpai~."
The top buttons of Naoto's shirt came undone and revealed his thin neck, a sight Hayase admittedly really enjoyed. And Hayse lowered her head to Naoto, her mouth inches from his ear, she said, "I've been waiting to do this for a really long time, Senpai~."
Whatever mental fortitude that Naoto had still completely evaporated with Hayase's next move. He felt Hayase's soft lips kiss the skin of his neck just above his clavicle. The action sent goosebumps shooting up and down Naoto's body. If Naoto's brain hadn't been completely obliterated at this point, he might have seen her next move coming. Naoto felt Hayase's teeth bite into the skin of the same spot she'd just kissed.
Naoto let out a high pitched yelp and instinctively shoved Hayase off of his lap. Hayase, landing on her feet, almost expecting Naoto's reaction, began to laugh hysterically. As she laughed she managed to say, "I finally got you Senpai!".
Naoto, angry and confused, asked, "Got me?! What do you mean got me?" Just after the words left his mouth he realized what she was referring to. "Oh my god, are you on a vampire kick again?"
Hayase continued to laugh but managed to calm down enough to say, "Maybeeee!".
"Wait, so all of that… was just so you could bite my neck?!" Naoto asked. He then continued with, "Wait, that's why you asked about the garlic too, isn't it?" His voice was a mix of disappointment and irritation.
Hayase only nodded, still giggling. After noticing the irritated look on Naoto's face she said, "Aww, c'mon Senpai, don't be mad. I did say you were my prey now, remember?"
Naoto remembered back to the last time Hayase had tried to bite him, almost a year ago now. That had been what she said, almost word for word. "W-Whatever." He said, still irritated but less so now.
Hayase, noticing that 'her prey' was still irritated with her, quickly tried to ease his anger a bit. "C'mon, don't tell me you didn't like the stuff leading up to the bite?" Her face flushed as she asked the question.
Naoto's face also flushed thinking of the encounter, and his anger dissipated a bit. He had enjoyed it, and though he'd never admit it to Hayase, even the bite wasn't the worst.
"I mean… Maybe a little." Naoto said, relaxing a little.
Hayase grinned mischievously and said, "Exactly. Besides, how else is a vampire supposed to catch their prey if they don't do a little seducing!" Her words caused her Senpai to blush, which brought her no end of joy. Just as she was about to continue she noticed the time.
"Oh crap I'm gonna be late!" She exclaimed, quickly gathering up her belongings. Naoto also took notice of the time, however was thankful his next class was closeby.
As Hayase was packing up her things, she remembered the other reason she'd come up to see Naoto. "Oh also, I was thinking." She started, "If you need another Sketch for your project, why don't you come to Judo today? I'm sure you'll be able to get a good sketch out of it!"
Naoto, a little unsure of her suggestion, was about to deny her request, until he remembered how well the last sketch had turned out, which was of course her idea. "A-Are you sure that'd be okay?" He asked.
"Sure! People stop by all the time." She said, zipping up her backpack.
Naoto shrugged and said, "I guess that would work."
Hayase beamed at his response and said, "Hooray! I'll see you later today then gross Senpai~!"
Hayase ran out of the Art room and just as Naoto thought he was free from her teasing, she reappeared in the door frame and sheepishly said, "Hey, I'm sorry for biting you. I really wasn't trying to hurt you."
Naoto, not expecting the apology, stammered out, "I-It's okay. You didn't really..." Which brought a smile to Hayase's face.
Hayase then said "Okay good. I'll see you later then-" and she began to run off, but she stuck her head back into frame one last time and said "Naoto~."
And that's a wrap! I hope you guys enjoyed it! If you did/didn't please let me know! Would love to hear any suggestions!
