Naoto stood at the doorway to the model building club room, almost struggling to keep his eyes open. This was due to the fact that not only had it been an extremely long day of school for him, but he hadn't gotten quite enough sleep the other night. He had tried, but he couldn't get that girl out of his head, the one that had teased him the day before and humiliated him in a battle, the one who had managed to make him cry. His face burned at the memory.

"I need to forget about that underclassman," Naoto told himself,

Maybe some model building would put him in the right mood.
He reached to open the door, but just as he began to slide it open he heard a near-hauntingly familiar voice.

"Senpaiiiii!" Naoto froze and turned to see the girl there grinning at him still as cheekily evil-looking as ever.

Naoto said nothing and turned away from the girl to go digging in his bag for a moment. The girl simply bounced on her toes and asked,

"Are you headed off to your club? You're a part of the model building club? Are you Senpai?"

Naoto managed to cut her off when he presented her with the handkerchief from the day before. Turning away as he held it out to her. She took the cloth in both hands and looked at it as if confused by the thing,

"I-I laundered it for you. So uh...here!" He shoved the cloth into her hands and then bolted into the room, shutting the door again behind her,

This left the girl standing outside confusedly asking to no one in particular now,

"But I gave this to you for you to keep…"

Naoto breathed a sigh of relief once inside the room. Letting his shoulders sag again and his body release the tension it built up when in that girl's presence.

With that done and over with he made his way over to one of the tables in the middle of the empty room and began working on a gunpla from a club session or two ago. It was a version of a Tallgeese Gundam, however, Naoto had yet to complete it.
However, as soon as he was about to begin there was the sound of the door sliding open again. Naoto, almost too scared to look, turned his head to see who it was, and sure enough, the girl was standing in the room smiling at him.

"W-what are you-"

"This is the club room huh," the girl looked around despite there obviously being nobody else in here, "So does that mean we're alone together...Senpai?"

Naoto froze, before turning back to the gunpla he was working on and telling the girl,

"I-If you have no reason to be here, y-you should go home."

"Oh, Senpai you're no fun." teased the girl, who was seriously starting to annoy Naoto.

However, the girl seemed to either not notice his annoyance or more likely didn't care and walked over to Naoto examining what he was working on.

"Hey Senpai," Naoto looked up, "As an apology for yesterday I'll help you make this gunpla!"

The girl reached out to grab it but Naoto immediately swung it out of her grasp with a shout. The girl simply cocked her head at him.

"N-no thank you, it's fine," Naoto said, readjusting his glasses a little bit.

"Well...maybe I can help in another way?" The girl said reaching up to her dress shirt collar,

"N-NO! IT'S FINE!" Naoto shouted frantically,

"Oh come on," The girl grinned, pulling down the collar a bit revealing more than should have been revealed, "Don't you want anything?"

"FINE! YOU CAN HELP!" Naoto practically screeched, waving his hands around,

In reaction to this, the girl clapped her hands and laughed at Naoto who covered his face which was red as a tomato by now.

"You're so funny Senpai!" she laughed at him. Naoto flusteredly hid his face in his hands even more.

However moving past the girl's apparent enjoyment of making Naoto suffer. The next half hour was filled with the girl giving pointers on design choices for the Tallgeese. Naoto laying out multiple of the best options on the table. Refining some of the pieces and taking a rather large amount of time to pick the colors. All throughout this Naoto stole glances at the girl as he continued to work but glanced back to his work when he saw her looking (creepy as this was). Naoto continued to examine the Tallgeese up close although realized suddenly that throughout most of this session, he had made ZERO progress on it. Only having laid out things he could do instead of doing anything. He still needed to paint these parts too!

But it was then that the timer on Naotos phone went off frightening the poor guy and causing him to drop the Tallgeese onto the table. Naoto quickly dug into his pocket to pull out his phone and stop the timer. Although the girl was already laughing at his blunder.

"W-why don't we take a break?" Naoto suggested,

"Senpai, you haven't even done anything." the girl pointed out with a grin,

"These things take time y'know! I can't just cobble things together." Naoto responded defensively,

There was a bit of silence as Naoto kind of just sat with his arms crossed in a nervous little state. She was right, he needed to at least get something done. But what did she expect? She made him cry the other day, humiliated him in a gunpla battle, and now she was staring at him as he tried to work! Not to mention she was a girl and Naoto hadn't really interacted or even looked at girls before. He never had to face anyone head-on really, so of course, he was nervous!

"Senpai," the girl spoke, Naoto looked up, "If you make a reeeally good gunpla...I'll give you a reward."

The girl smiled in a sultry way, meanwhile, Naoto gasped and sputtered at her.

"Wh-what? What does that mean?"

"It's a secret!" She smiled at him, god he was beginning to dislike this.

Naoto sat in silence as the girl grinned at him. He didn't NEED a reward for this, or even want one! He just wanted to complete this gunpla. Not be tortured over and over by this strange girl. But if he was still going to try his hardest to make this a good gunpla. He had been doing art and design since he was a kid! Gunpla model design was another form of art. So if he really wanted to make this a good gunpla, if he focused hard enough, he could do it!

So for the remainder of the time, Naoto worked hard on the Tallgeese. He refurnished the pieces, painted them in a dazzling combo of yellow, purple, and grey, picked out all the best accessories he believed for the gunpla, and by the time his phone went off for the second time, he believed he had made quite the good gunpla.
However, he supposed that it would be the girl who decided that as she looked over the Gunpla. Rotating the arm a bit, wiggling the weapon held in the model's hand, turning the head side to side. Seeming to weigh the success of the gunpla. Finally, she looked up at him with a smile.

"Is this the best you can do?" She asked cheerily

"W-well...I guess?"

In truth Naoto kind of didn't know, there were a few things he could have done better. But they were hardly noticeable and there were a lot of successfully done things too! Maybe it was her attitude making him double back on himself...but it still was a question in his head as the girl stared him down with a smile.

"Hmmm...well, I guess it's time for your reward." the girl got up and walked over to Naoto who began to panic a little throwing up his hands like a shield,

"W-wait. What's the reward?" He asked,

"Don't worry. Just close your eyes." the girl ordered,

Naoto listened. Closing his eyes he felt the girl's fingers lightly grip his chin and draw him closer. A million thoughts raced through Naotos head at the same time.

'What's she doing?'

'What kind of reward is this?'

'I-Is she going to...kiss me?'

Naoto could feel her breath on him slightly. In response to that and his last thought, he felt his lips squeeze into a form. But all that came was the sensation of being flicked on the nose.
Naoto opened his eyes, the girl was only a little away from him seeming to be holding in her laughter. As soon as she saw his confused, flushed, face however she totally lost it.

"HAHAHA! WHAT'S THAT FACE? DID YOU THINK I WAS GOING TO KISS YOU?" She guffawed at him,

Naoto simply stared at her, his face still stuck in that ridiculous-looking expression. He could only bring himself together to let out a pitiful, small, squeak.

"You think I'd reward you for something like this? Look at it!" the girl proceeded to point out multiple flaws including one particular area where the paint was a bit wobbly.

"Were you nervous cause a girl was so close to you?" She laughed, Naoto simply turned away, "And you made SUCH a dumb face anticipating-"

"I WASN'T ANTICIPATING ANYTHING!" Naoto shouted, still with his back turned,

However, his tone and loud voice did nothing to even phase the girl who poked him in the back and giggled.

"Your funny Senpai…"

"A-are you done…" the boy asked thoroughly tired, embarrassed, and disheartened after this day,

"Hmmm, I don't know Senpai," She began to circle Naoto who tried to cover himself with his arms, "Toying with you is kind of fun, you're so interesting...are you crying again Senpai?"

Naoto was indeed crying once again. But he still continued to shield his face from the girl's view and behind his arms.

In an instant, however, his protection was stripped away when the girl grabbed both his wrists and opened him up, staring with a smirk at the sniveling, crying boy. Naoto defeatedly looked to the ground. Humiliated by the same girl once again. That's twice now she's made him cry.
Suddenly Naoto felt the familiar touch of the cloth drying up his tears, for the second time, and he let himself slump as the girl once again cleaned up the mess that he was.

"I'm sorry Senpai," She said, once more not sounding sorry at all, "I didn't mean to bully you so much...please stop crying."

"S'fine," Naoto responded meekly,

There was a brief pause as the boy simply lamented in his thoughts over his plight. All while the girl wiped away at his cheeks and eyes.

"Senpai...if you try to make a good gunpla next time, I'll give you an awesome reward then."

"I don't need a reward…" Naoto responded though he might as well have whispered it.
