Misaki was always kind of a loner. She always had that aura around her that seemed to make others afraid to come near her. Others just didn't like her, they were weirded out by her perfect memory. They'd talked behind her back, ostracize her from the rest of her class. It wasn't until a few months ago that she began to make friends, much like Aichi. He understood that loneliness.
He was standing a couple of feet away from her usual spot where she liked to read. It was quiet and no one usually comes here, a perfect spot for her.
'I should say hi to her, I am her boyfriend after all,' Aichi thought to himself. His face suddenly felt warm. It seems the reality of them being together hadn't really sunk in for him yet. He began walking towards her before a thought came up in his head, causing him to stop in his tracks.
'Wait, maybe she actually wants to be alone. Why else would pick the most isolated place in the school? But if I go, it'll seem like I ignored her.' He awkwardly stood by debating himself until a voice broke him out of his thoughts.
"Aichi? What are you doing?" He looked up to see Misaki staring at him with a weird look.
He quickly adjusted himself "N-nothing really! I just coming by to see you." He felt really embarrassed, he must have looked like a complete idiot!
She looked unconvinced, but decided to dismiss it. She patted the seat next to her, signaling him to come and sit, which he did so.
"So… how's school today?" He asked.
"Nothing really much, just studying, homework, quizzes…," she droned on. "The usual boring school day. How about you?"
"Well, nothing much new either. Naoki and Shingo are both cramming for a quiz they have next period and I thought I'd come and say hi."
"So you only came when you had nothing to do…" She sounded offended.
Aichi panicked. "Nonono! It's not like that!" He flustered, scared that he might had made her mad. "I actually was meaning to spend time with you, really! I mean, we are together now…" He looked down dejectedly. I'm not bothering you, am I?"
"...No, you're not. I picked this spot just because I like to be alone, but to be completely, I…" Misaki's face turns a tinge red, "I'm glad, I wanted to spend more time with you too."
All it took was one look and Aichi was automatically mesmerized by her. He always did thought that she looked pretty, but she right now, she looked absolutely radiant. The way her skin seemingly glowed, her turquoise-eyes glistening in the sunlight, how sweet the perfume she wore smel-
He quickly turned away from her, trying to calm his fast beating heart. 'What the hell am I thinking?!'
"Eh Aichi, are you okay?" Misaki worried.
"Y-yep! I'm completely fine!" He felt embarrassed. What came over him?
Misaki examined him and noticed he flushed face. Her face, without reason, turned flushed too. He always has to make it so awkward between them!
An awkward silence filled the air, the two unable to even look at each other. They slowly calmed down as time passed. They didn't talk, instead they just enjoyed the presence of each other. They heard the ambience of cars passing, birds chirping, rustling of the tree leaves over them. It felt warm today, too comfortably warm.
Aichi liked this. This peaceful feeling being with her. His eyes felt heavy. He tried to fight it, but it was pointless. His eyes slowly close and his head leaning on her shoulder. She looked startled, of course.
"I really like being here with you…" he murmured before drifting off to sleep.
Misaki stifled a laugh. "First Kourin and now you," she joked. She leaned her head onto his and closed her eyes before falling asleep as well.
Omake
Aichi groggily woke up from slumber. At first he didn't know where he was, wondering why he wasn't in bed. He suddenly came back from his senses and immediately checked the time on his phone.
"Misaki! MisaKi!" He shook her.
*snort* "What...?" She woke up startled. "Aichi what's wrong-"
"We're an hour late for class."
"...Shit."
Very short chapter, but I wanted to do a story between these two. I'll do one for Kourin and Aichi next then I'll continue on with the main story.
