May you enjoy~ :/D

Tease04 – You-sensei and Riko-sensei Love-Love Photo Album

If the saying "it's a small world" is true and so often used for people who happen onto each other in various shopping centres, parks or even across countries. That saying is even truer when it comes to You bumping into Riko throughout the school and having more than a few occasions to interact with the new art teacher.

You certainly doesn't mind. And the school is even more excited about this fact.

Riko takes hurried steps towards the teacher's office. Her heels click-clacking against the floors of the school as she worries about not making it to her desk before the clock hits 7.30am.

Rounding a bend, the auburn-haired art teacher slips and lets out a short scream, her heart leapt up to her throat and she was expecting the pain of falling on her butt and worse-case scenario of spraining her ankle. But after keeping her eyes closed for about five seconds and nothing came, she slowly opened them.

Her knight in shining armour smiles down at her. Riko pushes her brain's maiden-like thoughts away with a slight blush. The kind and fit gym teacher who also happened to be in-charged of her well-being in school has caught Riko's outstretched hand before Riko could slip any further closer to the ground.

You gives Riko a warm smile, perfect for making mornings 200% better. Riko smiles nervously. "T-Thank you, You-sensei… I would be sitting on the floor if not for you."

You chuckles and shakes her head. "Glad to be of help. I believe your chair inside prefers your butt to be sitting on them than on the floor."

Riko stares at You with a tint of pink covering her cheeks. "My butt…huh." Riko tilts her head to the side in a considering manner.

You pulls Riko upright without warning and her free hands lifts to cover her embarrassed face. "I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say butt. I mean I did. But..I didn't mean to seem so crude…In front of you…Er…"

Gods, why do I always mess up in front of Riko-sensei?

Riko giggles softly into her free hand as she left the hand that You caught to still be in hers; it felt so warm there after all. "I like your straightforwardness, You-sensei. So don't worry about it."

You looks at Riko before lowering her head.

Riko-sensei is too kind...

One of the early to school newspaper club student snaps shots of You catching Riko and still holding onto Riko's hand after. She checks the saved image in her camera with a grin and only left when Riko and You went on their way.

"And…finishing dunk." The sparkling with sweat and equipped with a shining smile gym teacher kicks off the ground and easily plunges the basketball into the hoop before landing back down with a twist.

Nailed it!

Her students cheered loudly while the other half of the class that had to go up against her booed in a slightly dejected manner.

"You-sensei, that's amazing!"

"Ahh, there's no way we can win You-sensei…"

You laughs loudly as she ruffles the head of her surrounding students; not minding the sweat and even accepting some of their elbow jabs. "Hey, hey. You girls are getting better. And I did take some of the basketball girls on my team."

Totally unplanned when I jacked the game, but it's the truth.

You winks and the other team groans again.

"How did you do that dunk? It was so cool!" A student asked with starry eyes and hands in a prayer manner.

The gym teacher looks to her student who wasn't very tall for dunking and back to the hoop; her smile never wavering. "With practice and believe."

As every main character will tell you.

You raises her right hand which catches the basketball a student throws to her immediately when they noticed the flow of conversation. You nods to her student to watch her closely and she begins dribbling the basketball towards the hoop, and when she feels the momentum is right – a jump and smoothly dunks once again.

The student claps vigorously. "…But I still don't get it?"

"What did I just do?" You prompts and points to her slow dribbling.

"Dribble the ball." The student answers.

"What am I doing now?" You begins a half jog.

"Um…Running with the ball."

You smiles and nods. "Find your pace and let your palm feel the ball." You holds the ball in both hands. "Now what am I doing?"

"…Holding…the ball?" The student asks.

"Essentially. And gauging how firmly I am holding the ball. Before I stare down the hoop. And~" You throws the ball at the angle she felt just right, and in the next two seconds, the beautiful sound of the basketball swooping through the hoop and net was heard. Every student stood in awe.

Oh man…This attention…

"It's all about practice." You chuckles abashedly at the silent attention. She liked being a gym teacher because of the always on the move and energy, so this much attention made her nervous.

The student who asked about how to dunk nods enthusiastically. "I will!"

Ah, I love earnest to learn kids~

You gives her a thumbs up and a wide smile. "Great. Now I think we've got enough time for another mini-game-"

"You-sensei~!" You turns to see the Head of Art jogging towards her; which is really a feat as the tall blonde always wore a striking black office skirt that hugged her black stockings covered thighs tightly, coupled with those 2inch black stiletto heels to further add to her height and sexy aura.

How is she even walking in those?

You walks towards the Head of Art so that the blonde teacher does not have to risk tripping with every step she takes. All while keeping an eye on those heels. You has never worn heels in her life. Or at least she did twice and never wanted to do so on a daily basis like some of the other teachers do.

"Ohara-sensei. What's up? And do be careful in those killer shoes." The ash-brunette dodged a swipe at her with a cheeky smile.

"They are only killer if you're referring to how they make me the sexiest teacher in Uranohoshi, You-sensei~" The Head of Art winks.

"I'm always amazed that you can walk in those for eight hours. And even jog." You shakes her head.

The angle totally makes your ankle hurt. Sneakers are best.

Ohara-sensei grins. "But you do find them sexy, don't you~?"

You rolls her eyes at the Head of Art stretching out her legs to pose for You. You clears her throat and turns back to her class. "No ogling. And start another game on your own!"

The class hurriedly grab some basketballs and talked to themselves for being caught staring. Everyone loves Watanabe-sensei for being the easiest to talk to and share their fun and worries with. But everyone loves Ohara-sensei for her humour and sexiness, that's for certain.

"Aww~ How sweet of you, You-sensei~ Do you do that for Riko-sensei too?" The Head of Art winks at You again.

Sweet- What?

You finds heat creeping at her cheeks at the image of her being protective for Riko. "N-No? She doesn't dress like you do, Ma- Ohara-sensei." You squints with a pout.

The Head of Art laughs unabashedly. "That's what you think, dearie. I would tease you more, but we don't have a good enough audience."

"Mari- Ohara-sensei!" You protests.

Why does Mari-sensei like to tease me so much!?

Mari places a hand on You's shoulder while grinning at the shorter teacher's red face - adorable. "I need you to do me a favour."

"Well..that's why you're here, no?" You grumbles childishly.

Mari nods. "I've got a meeting to go to right now. So if you could, I'd love if you help tell Riko that she classes are cancelled on Tuesday. She'll have other things instructed to do for that day."

You nods. "Sure. Sounds simple."

Mari chuckles. "Well, it's not like I asked you to pick flowers fitting for the teacher you're crushing on – so yes, it's simple."

"Crush- What are you even saying now, Mari-sensei! I don't have a crush on Riko-sensei." You turns away from Mari with an indignant pout.

Mari waggles her eyebrows at You. "I didn't mention anything about Riko, did I~?"

Eh? Mari-sensei didn't..?

You's ears turned red too as she realized Mari really did not mention Riko as the teacher You may have a crush on yet the gym teacher jumped to conclusions. "But you insinuated-"

"Mm~" Mari wore a cat-like grin so high You couldn't do anything.

"Ugh, just go to your meeting, Ohara-sensei. I'll let Riko-sensei know about cancelled classes."

Mari laughs. "Remember it's Tuesday~" And with that, the blonde that arrived like a hurricane goes on her way like a hurricane too.

You returns to her class and instructs two students to take charge on packing and putting back the basketballs in the storage room, and to head back to class properly when done.

The gym teacher takes large strides over to Riko's class so that she can catch the art teacher before she leaves the art room. Upon reaching, You leans her left shoulder coolly against the door to the art room and puts a finger to her mouth so the students won't start making noises.

So this is how Riko-sensei teaches huh… It's not that much different from any other teacher I guess.

You chuckles in her mind at thinking that Riko might have the class turn into a serene garden for art class or something otherworldly for art inspirations. You chucked it up to her sports filled mind's misconception and knocks on the door twice to catch the art teacher's attention.

Riko jumps very slightly but You notices so she grins and waves when Riko looks over surprised. "You-sensei?"

"Good morning again, Riko-sensei~"

She sure had her focus on the canvas to be surprised by a light knock on the door. She must really love art.

"Good morning…again. You-sensei." Riko smiles and walks over. "What brings you here?"

You moves to stand up straight and wipe a stray sweat trickling down the side of her cheek. "Ohara-sensei sent me to pass you a message."

"Oh. It must be very important for you to come running here then." Riko reaches in her pocket and offers her handkerchief so that the gym teacher can wipe her sweat.

"Ah, er. It's okay. I just ended a gym class where we played basketball. Thus the sweat. I don't want to dirty your handkerchief, don't worry about it, Riko-sensei." You rambles on with her hands up to reject gratefully.

Riko nods and keeps her handkerchief slowly back into her pocket. You's blue eyes watched it go with a hint of regret.

Riko-sensei's pink floral patterned handkerchief…fits her image and is probably soft like Riko-sensei's hands… Wai- what am I thinking!

You lifts her head to look away from Riko's pocket and make proper eye contact. Seeing Riko waiting patiently made her feel relieved. "So."

Riko nods. "Mm-hm?"

"Ohara-sensei wants me to tell you that Tuesday's classes will be cancelled… Just to let you know." You smiles and gives herself a pat on the back internally for completing her mission.

Riko nods again, walks back to take her phone and back to You. "Thank you for all the time, You-sensei."

Murmurs within the class starts to occur at the information the art teacher just shared. Students turned to talk about how Riko-sensei is always helped by You-sensei and how cute their relationship is.

You peeks at Riko's phone screen, noticing that Riko has a really neat planner opened and have written in notes that classes are cancelled on the coming Tuesday.

Riko-sensei is so organized…Such a contrast with me…

You places a hand on the back of her neck. "No problem. I'm your official caretaker in the school after all!" You chuckles at the title.

Riko giggles at the title too. "I'm glad to have you as my caretaker."

You smiles widely, and she feels her spirits more light and jolly just from Riko saying she's glad to have her.

Riko-sensei is really such a sweet person.

While You and Riko are conversing, some students have taken out their handphones or cameras to take pictures of their two favourite teacher couple. Whispering to one another that You-sensei and Riko-sensei are literally the cutest couple in school and this scene in front of them is proof of that.

At the end of the school day, in the newspaper club room, students of the club and various students through the school were inside sharing snapshots they captured throughout the day to share in the "Love-Love Photo Album". Meaning to say, they choose selected ones to be blown up and kept as a hardcopy version, a promotional picture on the school's notice board, and the others into the softcopy album.

"Ahh, every time You-sensei holds Riko-sensei's hand I feel like I'm going to melt!" A student gushes as she looks through the collection.

"You're not the only one! Looks at how their hands fit so well in each other's!"

"C'mon, girls~ It's not just the hands you should be looking at." A confident voice sounds at the door before it closes.

"Ohara-sensei!" The students greets.

The Head of Art wears a Cheshire grin and waves to her students before approaching the table and pointing at You-sensei's face. "You-sensei's blush is our one hundred and one percent definite proof of their love~"

Students nod eagerly and squealed at the focus on their charming gym teacher's blushing expression.

"And Riko-sensei's own set of blush! She's hiding her affections but it's so clear to us! Am I right or am I right, girls~?" Ohara-sensei stands up straight and the loud clack of her stiletto heel commanded attention.

The students cheered and clapped. "Yes~! Riko-sensei is in love with You-sensei!"

The Head of Art laughs happily that she's opening the eyes of the students to notice the little details of the budding love between You and Riko. She's going home to squeal at each image in the YouRiko Love-Love Photo Album later while she concocts a new plan for teasing You and Riko.
