His hand moved freely above the book, choosing what exercise to write on the blackboard. It was already a week after the first day of classes, with the leaves quickly turning gold as the students adjusted to the new lessons.

Choosing one, the teacher sighed and turned towards the blackboard, looking back then once in a while as he wrote numbers across the green surface. His class was surprisingly quiet as he wrote down the math problem, no noise accompanying the occasional squeak of the chalk.

"Alright then, class, I would like you to solve that problem in five minutes."

The class of 3-A groaned in disappointment, with the teacher only grinning at the group of students as he sat down on the chair. He sighed once again as he rested his chin on interlaced fingers, eyes unconsciously peering at the beautiful angel seated a few seats before him.

The given time was almost over when the teacher was alerted of something walking past his classroom. Someone dressed in nothing but black strode across the corridor, a smirk playing on his lips as he observed a certain student seated on the center of the room. Sumeragi Subaru raised his head quickly, looking sideways to see the vice-principal surveying his beloved angel carefully.

"Sakurazuka-san…" Subaru unconsciously muttered, green eyes still locked on the threatening figure walking slowly past his class. He gripped his pen tightly; not noticing the inquisitive stare Segawa Keiichi was giving him.

"Sumeragi-sensei, is something wrong?" Keiichi asked, gaining Subaru's attention before Seishirou grinned at the math teacher and walked away.

Subaru turned to his blonde student. "Oh…uh, nothing's wrong, Segawa-kun."

The math teacher silently walked down the corridor, thoughts swimming inside his head like countless goldfish. It was all too strange for him…everything that was starting to happen was creeping him inside and out. Remembering his days with the supposed-to-be Sakurazukamori, he entered the class of 3-B.

He greeted the class subconsciously – it was normal for him to do so, since this was his usual routine. As he sat down on the chair and propped his chin once again on interlaced fingers, all the memories of his relationship with Sakurazuka Seishirou flooded his mind.

The class stared at him in curiosity, wondering on why their teacher was absolutely quiet that day. Subaru, whenever he entered a class, would always start on a lesson right away or ask if he had given them homework. Or, if in a good mood, he'd ask if the day had been all right for the class.

But he was strangely serene that day – as if he was drowning deep in thought. His emerald eyes were concentrated on the seat plan placed below the glass, looking like he was studying the piece of paper very well.

Tsukishirou Yukito, who was seated right before him, gained his attention. "Sumeragi-sensei, is something wrong?"

He shot his head up, seeing that it was the second time that day he had been asked that question. He shook his head slightly, now seeing the usual five girls that always fainted in his class. It was also strange – there were five girls in every class he taught who always fainted.

"Nothing's wrong, Shirou-kun – uh, I mean, Tsukishirou-kun…"

He opened his lesson plan and looked at the staring class. "So, how did your day go?"

Monou Kotori raised her hand, a strange expression on her face. Subaru motioned her to stand up.

"Sakurazuka-sensei's been passing by our corridor a whole lot." She said, intriguing the teacher with her words. "Like, five times already."

Subaru looked once again at the group of students. "Is this…true…?"

The class nodded in agreement.

"Five times this afternoon or five times this morning…? Five times this whole day…?" Subaru asked, wanting to know what was the reason behind Seishirou's now-often appearance.

"This afternoon, I think." Kotori answered, once again triggering Subaru's troubled mind.

The teacher nodded. "I see. Has he been doing it for the past week, or this day only?"

Akizuki Nakuru answered the question. "For the past week, Sumeragi-sensei. We thought you also knew, since 3-A's your homeroom."

"But he never passes by when it's homeroom period…" Kinomoto Touya added.

The Sumeragi stared thoughtfully at his hands, straightening his back before he leaned on the table. "If I'm not here…or in any class by this corridor for that matter – does he stop by the classrooms?"

Kotori spoke up. "He often stops by 3-A…or our classroom. He always checks if everything's alright with us – I don't know about your class, Sumeragi-sensei."

"Alright then. If anything else peculiar acts up, just tell me or Magami-sensei, alright?"

The class nodded in affirmation. With that cleared up, Subaru went back to his book to find something to explain.

The late afternoon sun shone through the hallway, illuminating the corridor with its golden light as students and teachers walked down the pathway to vacate the school.

A certain student looked at his watch – it was already half past five, which meant it was the perfect time to go to the parking lot and meet his math teacher. He'd been doing this routine ever since school started, in order to avoid suspicion over him and Subaru.

Skipping down the staircase that led to the second floor, his hair bouncing up and down atop his head as he did so, Shirou Kamui's fingers ran over the marble banister before landing his feet firmly on the second story.

"One more floor to go…" Kamui whispered to himself, continuing down another and the last set of staircases that led to the first floor. With soft footsteps echoing to the almost-vacated school, Kamui smiled when he reached the last story. Panting ever so slightly, the 'angel' walked down the corridor, unable to see the dark-clad figure that was emerging out of an office.

"Shirou-kun!" said an unusually kind-sounding voice, capturing the 'angel's' attention. Kamui, in response, turned around to meet honey-brown eyes smiling kindly at his own purple orbs.

Kamui bowed in recognition to the man who said his name. "Konnichiwa, Sakurazuka-san." He murmured, greeting the vice-principal.

"Konnichiwa." Seishirou replied, a grin creeping itself upon his lips. With a last smile, Kamui was supposed to turn to his right, the second corridor that led to the parking lot. But a question held him back – a question said by a smooth, baritone voice.

"So how was your day?" the Sakurazuka asked, once again making the student turn around in response.

Kamui smiled, oblivious to the real intentions of the supposed-to-be assassin. "It was pretty fine. Nothing much happened."

"Really? That's typical." The vice-principal chuckled light-heartedly. "So why are you going home at this hour?"

The 'angel' racked his brain for an acceptable answer. The answer 'I was waiting for time to pass so that I could be with Subaru and go home with him' didn't really appeal to him that much, since he WAS talking to the vice-principal. Deciding on a simple answer, Kamui replied to his question.

"I did my homework up in the Library." He said, hoping that the words would comply. It was true, in any sense – he did his homework in the library for time to pass.

"I see. How come? Is it too noisy at home?" Seishirou queried, apparently very interested in Kamui's personal life. The student, meanwhile, saw no harm in Seishirou's question, although Subaru would see that every question would have something evil behind it.

Of course, it was Seishirou who was asking the question.

Kamui chuckled lightly as he replied. "Seems so. My sister and her dog always cause a racket a home."

"Is that so? Well, I guess we better part ways, Kamui—I mean Shirou-kun." The vice-principal took out his sunglasses and put them on, adjusting them on the bridge of his nose. "Dewa mata, Kamui—Shirou-kun."

He grinned as he turned away, his black trench coat billowing beside him as he walked silently away from his newfound obsession. The grin turned into a smirk as he continued on, once again adjusting his sunglasses as he strode out to the sunlight.

Kamui nodded and went to the parking lot, running as fast as he can as the wind raced past him. Seeing a parked BMW a few yards away, Kamui smiled his fan-girl smile and ran towards the white car.

Sumeragi Subaru was leaning on the trunk of the vehicle, looking up at the orange-streaked sky as a few leaves blew past them, pretending not to notice the panting 'angel' before him. Kamui, meanwhile, tried to catch his breath as he rested his hands on bended knees, looking downwards at the leaves strewn across the concrete. His gasps filled the silence, finally capturing his lover's attention.

"You're late." Subaru murmured, staring curiously at the tired angel who straightened up to talk to him.

"I'm sorry," Kamui managed to get out, breathing heavily. "It WAS a long way from here to the library, you know. It's not easy to run down three floors."

Subaru only laughed quietly, taking a few strands of Kamui's soft hair and pushing it away from his face. "It's okay." He peered at the student, observing the way Kamui was staring innocently at him as gasps continued to erupt from his supple lips. "Why are you so tired?"

The student closed his eyes and once again tried to catch his breath. "I ran from the corridor to your car, Subaru-san. That's not easy."

"Poor Kamui-chan…" Subaru teased, ruffling Kamui's hair as the younger man glared at him. "All tired and out of breath."

"That's not funny, Subaru-san!" Kamui pouted, still panting as Subaru laid his hand atop his head.

"Oh it is, Kamui-chan." He repeated the newly found pet name, enjoying the sight of his lover being soooo goddamn cute. Indeed, he loved the sight of his angel pouting cutely at him like that.

"Subaru-san!"

"Don't scream, Kamui – you're going to tire yourself more…here," Subaru, for some weird and unknown reason, grinned and lowered his hand to Kamui's chin, gently cradling his head with his fingers. "Let me help?"

"Subaru-san –??"

Kamui's sentence of retaliation was cut off by a soft hiss, with Subaru's lips quickly claiming his in one prolonged kiss. Finding no actions to do, no words to say, the angel only gave in and sufficed Subaru's entreats, relaxing himself as he slowly allowed the older man to do as he pleased. After a few seconds, Subaru parted from his angel quite reluctantly, although he was quite amused at the expression Kamui held on his face.

"Kamui-chan," Subaru said, making the younger man glare in annoyance of the pet name. "I've kissed you a thousand times before – is something of the matter now?"

Kamui shook his head as he once again tried to catch his breath. "It was hard to breathe!"

Subaru only laughed again, placing another quick kiss upon Kamui's flushed lips. "Gomen ne," he said in a playful tone, walking towards the driver's side as Kamui grabbed his school bag and headed towards the passenger's.

*

"So, Kamui-chan, why were you really late?"

Shirou Kamui glared at the driver, still annoyed by the fact that his lover had been calling him that name for quite some time now.

"Don't call me that, please, Subaru. Reminds me of Kotori."

Subaru looked curiously at his student as he continued maneuver the steering wheel for the car to turn left. "Monou Kotori?"

Kamui nodded. "She's been following me ever since kindergarten."

"Seems that my Kamui-chan's been attracting so many people lately…" Subaru playfully remarked, looking towards the road as Kamui blushed profusely.

Seeing the look on Kamui's face, a grin played itself upon Subaru's lips. "It's just because you're so perfect…"

"SUBARU-SAN!"

Subaru laughed. "Well, it is true, Kamui-chan!"

"Don't call me that!"

"How come you get so annoyed easily? You're so cute though, when you're irritated like that…"

"Subaru-san!"

"What, I was just wondering!"

"Well that's not entirely funny! You're not being teased everyday by me, right?!"

"I'm not teasing you, Kamui-chan. I use the term 'tease' for other…reasons…. Well if you use the word in that term, then you tease me everyday."

A dark tinge of pink raced across Kamui's already flushed cheeks. "Subaru-san!"

"Alright, I was just joking."

"Were you?"

"Well the 'tease me everyday' thing was true."

"Subaru-saaaaaan!!!!!!"

"Alright, alright…this conversation will get nowhere." Subaru laughed again as he saw Kamui infuriated beside him. "So why were you late, Kamui?"

"I bumped into Sakurazuka-sensei."

The name hit a nerve. Instantly, Subaru's hold of the steering wheel tightened, with his knuckles turning white as his figure suddenly became rigid. His emerald eyes narrowed as he tried to concentrate on the road, trying to push the things running in his mind away from his consciousness.

"What did he tell you?" He asked in a stern manner, making Kamui look curiously at his lover for the sudden change of tone.

"Nothing much. He just asked if my day was fine and I said it was and –

"I don't like you talking to him, alright?"

The statement made Kamui's purple eyes widen.

"Why?"

"I don't like him, and that's it. You don't need to know anything else." Subaru said in a tone that sounded that the conversation was finished. Kamui, meanwhile, didn't agree with him.

"You're being overprotective! I was just talking to him, Subaru-san!"

With narrowed eyes, Subaru looked at Kamui, an inexplicable expression etched across his sublime face. "So I am being overprotective. I don't like you talking to him except if it's really important, all right? He's not a good person and if you continue on talking to him you're going to get in deep trouble."

Kamui looked sideways towards the road. "Just because he was your ex – he was really nice –

Subaru heard the remark. "That's not it, Kamui! I know Seishirou very well – he'd be up to something right now just because you talked to him! Don't tell me that, Kamui – I don't care if he's my ex, since you're already with me, and that's all that matters to me. I don't want anything bad to happen to you."

The angel looked down at his feet, speechless. Choosing not to argue with his lover anymore, he only kept quiet as he dwelled on Subaru's words. It was the first time he said those words – that he was the only thing that matters to him. It was so strange – a feeling of contentment and joy seeping through Kamui's veins as his heart started to beat faster in recognition of Subaru's words. A small smile crept upon his lips, with his purple eyes inattentively placed on the road before them.

"Kamui?"

The angel only looked innocently at the teacher. "Hm?"

"Sorry."

Kamui shook his head. "You don't have to worry about that. It's my fault – I'll try to be careful from now on."

Subaru smiled at him, kissing him once again before Kamui got out of his car. "Ja, Kamui-chan."

"SUBARU!!!!!!!"
