Just a shitpost,,, been thinking bout this scenario, I can't get it out of my head XD

This takes place after a few days of Hikaru's transfer.

I think...

Damn I need to rewatch the show. Anyway, enjoyy!


Tenma patiently sat at one of the tables at a Ramen shop named "Matsuraiken", and said shop is owned by Muramatsu's family.

"Sure, I don't mind, but tutoring? Isn't that Nagisa's thing?" Muramatsu said after Tenma told him if he doesn't mind that the latter will be staying for a few hours to tutor a few friends that'll be coming later. The former proceeds to wipe the table with a clean damp towel.

Tenma sheepishly chuckled at the mention of his blue-haired friend. Yesterday, he had asked Nagisa for a couple of tutoring tips so that he can help his friends to which the snake assassin happily obliged. "Doing something new wouldn't hurt and besides, apparently I'm the only one who can speak English fluently in class." He replies shortly and the blonde doesn't need any further clarification.

Muramatsu gives a low long hum as he smiled. "Not surprised, you're one of Bitch-sensei's protégés after all. She was even ecstatic to teach you about it." Tenma gives a grin at that and gives a proud giggle.

"Speaking of,"

The brown-haired teen gives a questionable hum as he crosses his arms over the now clean table with his chin resting on top of his forearm. Muramatsu puts the dampened towel on the bucket and gives Tenma a dry look.

"What is it?"

"You brought a weapon with you, didn't you?"

Tenma's smile froze, and suddenly he remembers about his butterfly knife strapped and hidden on his thigh. "Busted."

A smile plastered on Muramatsu's face. "Don't even think about pulling it out."

"Assuming already that I'd pull it out for no reason, now that's just rude." Tenma pouted, then cranes his neck to properly look at the blonde standing beside him with his hand on the table and the other on his hip. "And don't think I didn't notice the gun hidden in your shirt, you're as guilty as I am." He grumbles, tone low so that any outsider wouldn't hear as he lightly glares at Muramatsu as if saying that he's a hypocrite for him out.

Muramatsu only responded with a laugh before waving him off and going back to the counter, just as Tenma pulls out his studying materials and lays them out on the surface.

Minutes later, Shinsuke and Aoi come in, followed by Hikaru dragging Kariya and lastly, Tsurugi who looked indifferent as ever, although he is confused as the others as to why Tenma chose a Ramen shop out of all places.

"It was a spur-of-the-moment decision and this is the only place close that I could think of," Tenma answered once everyone is settled on their seats with their textbooks, notebooks, and their writing materials sprawled on the table.

Noticing how his friends look a bit uneasy, perhaps doubting if they can understand the lesson Tenma gives his close-eyed smile and tells them with an assuring tone. "So then, shall we get started? I'm sure you guys will do just fine, so don't sweat it!"

As if wind passes through them, it blew away all the doubts from his friends' minds.

Muramatsu, who is wiping the plates, smiles from the counter when he saw how Tenma's classmates immediately relaxed when the wind assassin naturally shoots his shot; a simple smile with a dash of encouragement and a pinch of calming easiness is enough to kill the lingering doubts.

2 hours in and they are doing well than expected in Tenma's opinion, a few bumps from here and there at the start, but they are progressing better.

For now, before they start their break, Tenma holds out to them a whiteboard, his other hand holding a blue marker with the end pointing at the sentences on the board written in English. "Let's try out your pronunciation, I'll say blue," He points the blue marker at the blue writings, "And you say green," he then moves the marker and points it at the green writings.

Tenma sees that mischievous glint in Kariya's eyes.

He doesn't bother planning to stop whatever the troublemaker has in mind anyway.

"Ready?" Seeing the determined nods, Tenma moves his marker across the blue sentence. "The weather is nice outside." He reads out loud in English.

His friends open their mouths to read the reply as Tenma drags his marker to the next when suddenly, "Green." cuts in before any of their friends could recite.

"Kariya!" Hikaru softly chastises whilst Kariya only snickered until eventually, they laughed along—and surprisingly Tsurugi too, although he holds it in with his shoulders shaking.


That was lame haha,,, it was funnier in my head. :'D

Anyway have this ig as an extra

And a little headcanon of mine ehe


"Hey, Tenma,"

Said boy lazily cranes his head up to see Midori standing in front of him, holding out a water bottle. Taking it, he gives a smile. "Thank you," he said before clutching it with both of his hands, savoring the coldness on the sides.

Seeing as Midori is still standing in front of him, Tenma brings one hand and pulls out an earplug from his left ear then lowers the volume by pressing the button on his iPod that is sitting on the grass beside him.

Right now is break time from practice, currently, the members were just sitting around on the side of the field, either talking animatedly to each other or just relaxing in general.

"What is it?" Tenma asked, and noted how Midori was staring at his earphones then glances at the IPod, its screen off as if not letting anyone know what it was playing, although the sides were lit up, signaling that music is playing.

"Uh, just curious, but I always see you with those on, actually, no, I'm pretty sure anyone who encounters you would see you constantly with earphones on." Midori stated, causing Tenma to sweatdrop.

"Not constantly..." He murmurs, loud enough for her to hear. "Anyway, what were you curious about?" Tenma uncaps the water bottle and starts drinking from it, holding himself back from humming out loud to show his contentment at the cold water entering his throat.

"What kind of music do you have in there?"

Tenma, to his credit, did not choke on the water as he did before when one of the Class E asked what music was he listening.

He becomes aware of how everything went silent save for the music still playing in his ear and how the others were glancing—they're not subtle with it no matter how discreet they try to be while some did not bother to hide it—at him, perhaps having the same thought as well.

"Oh yeah," Aoi chimes in softly, walking up to them after placing the chiller box on the ground. "I was also meaning to ask you that before." She said.

Tenma continues to nonchalantly drink from the bottle as he just stares. After what felt like hours—honestly, he wanted to laugh, the atmosphere is suddenly tense with anticipation and he could almost, almost, hear the drum roll—he separates the bottle from his lips and gulps the remaining water in his mouth then screws the lid back to the bottle.

He only smiled. "Next question."

Tenma's response caused everyone to either look at him with a stunned expression, or disbelief, or it made them sputter.

"Wha—" Midori wanted to ask again, really but Tenma simply cuts her off by saying, "No comment."

To sum it up, they were left dumbfounded by the honeypot protégè who resumed happily gulping down the cold water in his system as some were disappointed that they never got to figure out the "Tenma's music taste" mystery.

Oh well, maybe next time.


That was a little short but oh well.

Now what kind of music Tenma listens to?

Hmmm, who knows? But it's certainly not anything edgy—although he has some sad and edgy songs in his IPod, but it's only a few.

Surprising for someone who has a sad backstory- *gets hit with a frying pan*

ANYWAY, all I can say is that he listens to any song he'd know, including english ones. And that he is not as innocent anyone thinks he is.

Hopefully I don't get bashed for that little headcanon of mine, besides it won't hurt anyone and I won't take it too far.

Confession: Originally, I plan this fic to have a ship pairing that includes Tenma, but I feel like that I would get bashed by other shippers lmfao. It's a rare pair that I really like (and it only has like, what, 2 or 3 fics of them :'D), and it's the first ship I like when I first started IEG.

To the shippers that'll probably bash me if they knew what I ship: listen, I'm a multishipper, I ship them too but [Secret hehe] x Tenma just hits different for me :')

Here's a little hint: It's not a straight ship. (I, again, hopefully don't get bashed with that haha...)

I'd like to hear your guesses in the comments if you can! Bye bye now, have a great day! 3
