Maki shrugged, "let's go to class."

"Yeah yeah..." he said with a sigh and looked back. Putting on his jacket along the way- well about as on as he usually put on his jacket.

It had been a day or so. Spending time with her the other day was pretty fun, honestly, he hadn't done something so extreme like that in a little while. Getting stabbed wasn't the biggest highlight though.

[Hey Kaito-Sama!] she messaged. He glanced at his phone, immediately messaging back as fast as his thumbs would allow.

[Sutā! Kidō! Co-pilot of the stars!]

Kaede softly laughed at him, Kaito looked up at her, she waved a little with Tenko and Himiko behind her.

"Who are you messaging?"

"Sutā." He stated happily.

"Well it must have been a really good message~" she hummed softly, "you smiled brighter than I've seen you smile at your phone."

"He's been struck with a love potion." Himiko lazily said with a soft mutter.

"Ah! A cute girl?! What is a degenerate male like you doing around one of those?!" Tenko yelled, ready to physically attack this man.

Kaito held up his hands in defence before getting a vibration from his phone. Was he really lighting up about getting a message from her? Guess so. That is how friendship works. He went back to his phone.

[Would you be able to walk me to class? I'm a little nervous today...]

[Heck! Yes! I'll be at the front doors!] he sent before running off to the front door. Ignoring Tenko, Kaede and Himiko.

She stepped through the door and he immediately held out his uninjured arm.

"Ready for class~?" He winked with a soft charm to him. She smiled a bit, taking his arm, wrapping both arms around his one, staying close to him. He smiled a little brighter, pulling his arm closer to himself.

"Thank you...I'm just worried for those repercussions..." she trailed off. He nodded, looking around for any assholes that looked like the guy from the other day.

"They shouldn't bother you today." He said, looking around not finding anyone who was like that, at least not yet. If he saw him, he would deck him no questions asked.

She nodded softly into his arm, "I... dressed a little bolder... for our confidence training..."

"Oh hell yeah! Show me!" He said excitedly as he looked over at her trench coat. She chuckled softly and shook her head a little.

"Later..." she lightly tapped his arm, they had more than enough time to get to class... so he just walked around the school with her on his arm, people from her class and she's staring at them a little weirdly as they walked around. Kaito couldn't help but smirk.

"Ya like people starin'?" He looked into her eyes.

"People are staring?" She asked, blushing suddenly, from the second they made eye contact. She quickly turned her head away from him. How could she not notice? Literally, everyone was!

"Confidence is already going up, huh~?" He smirked. Maki gave an awkward wave as she walked past. Confused as to who what or why.

Sutā blushed awkwardly before slowly nodding at him, putting her head on his arm a little more, trying to put this away, trying to hide from whatever she was thinking.

He noticed people staring at them and just smirked a little more. He had a very pretty girl on his arm and it made him feel good. Escorting her around. They didn't look like the guy who stabbed him but he wouldn't risk it.

Maki quickly joined on his other side.

"What are you doing?" she narrowed an eyebrow. He smiled and wrapped his arm around her, she blushed out of frustration.

"Nothin' just taking her to class."

"Get your injured arm off me." She stated bluntly.

"Why?" He laughed with a smile, "you need to get used to physical affection, Makiroll~" he smiled.

"No- I just fixed your arm."

"You... helped him?" Sutā asked.

"I'm not talking to you right now." She stated before looking back at Kaito, "I don't want you injured again."

"Hey, be nice."

"I'm not being mean. I'm saying I'm talking to you right now."

"She's allowed to ask. Yes, Sutā, she did. Was that so hard? You need to let your guard down some, Makiroll."

"... I'll consider it." Maki states before thinking over some options, quickly rushing off and shaking her head. He shrugged it off, annoyed with her always being so quick to shove people off. He didn't know why Maki was like this. Why was she so cold? Especially to his new friend over here! She'll get over it, she did with Shuichi, she will with Sutā.

Kaito stares for a couple of seconds before turning his attention back to the girl, "sorry 'bout her she just kinda does that sometimes. You two could learn somethin' from each other though." He said happily. She nodded a bit, just holding him tighter, a little bit of a crestfallen look in her eyes.

"Can I go to class now?"

"... yeah." He hesitated before starting to head over to her class. He saw all the students she had in her class. A nice looking class. Oh. No. There was the guy who wanted to stab him the other day.

"Ruvel?" A freckled girl softly called out to him, you guess you could call her... pudgy? She was cute. Short. Like 5'0... green eyes, honey blonde. She grabbed his arm softly and tugged him away nicely.

Ruvel huh?

Kaito will remember this.

"You gonna be okay?"

"Yeah..." she gave a soft smile.

"Okay... text me when you need." He smiled and waved his phone.

"Okay... let's hold off on going out for a while." She muttered.

"Can I walk you to class at least?" He gave an awkward smile.

"Yeah. That's fine."

That was it, though, there was nothing. There was no message through the day, there was nothing until the end of the day, just casual messages.

He started just casually walking her to class every day and walked her home every night. But they hadn't worked on their planets in a week. He missed it, honestly, but maybe she just didn't have time. He annoyed her the best he could to do it but no matter his attempts she just said she was busy with other things.

[Let me hang out with you!] He messaged.

[I can't tonight, Kaito-sama, I'm so sorry. :(]

[Why?]

[Family plans.]

[I just miss painting our planets together!]

[Kaito-sama...]

He paused and looked at her messages, a frown slowly coming over his face. The blue light shining on his face way past her bedtime was a little surprising, but he just wanted to be close to her... just for a little bit.

Time alone. He won't take no for an answer tomorrow. He won't.

"Suta~" He hummed to her as he went over to her, she didn't seem to register him, "hello?" he questioned her. No response, so he furrowed his brows and went behind her, trying to see what was taking her attention.

Her vision was entirely focused elsewhere, face slowly heating up as she stared at this guy. He smirked brightly, deciding to grab her side, making her squeak and turn to face him.

"Wh-what?" She questioned, he smiled at her brightly, wrapping his arm around her.

"We have to do more painting tonight!" He cheered.

"I-I can't."

"I'm not taking no for an answer." He frowned, shaking his head.

"I'm going to the ball."

"A ball?! Ain't that stuff too formal for you?"

"Well, it's not a ball, it's just a fancy thing rich people go to, its to help get funding."
"For what?"
"My new telescope." She smiled, before the boy from earlier walked past with a wave towards her, leaving her speechless. He frowned a bit, he should be her centre of attention right now. He was important right?! Right? She's important to him! He puts off tons of stuff just to cater to her!

"You never told me about that."

"I didn't want you to take me away from working on it... I'm sorry, Kaito-sama, but you're very distracting for me- I mean- it's a good thing... I adore you..."

"Of course I take all the attention, it's me, but I love space just as much as you, ya know!"

"I know, I'm sorry, I just..." she trailed off a bit, "I just needed some time..."

"Alright, I'll come to your ball then."

"What?" she suddenly looked very nervous, biting her inner lip, "I'm not sure that's-"

"It's the perfect time to get your confidence up!" He grinned, crossing his arms, "I won't take no for an answer."

She sighed, trying to think about the situation at hand, playing with her hair before she finally replied, "okay... I'll see if I can get you an invite."

"Hell yeah!"

"But I'm getting my dress tonight, so... I'm still busy for a while... if I have a day between, I promise we can do something," she muttered, blushing a bit.

"Can't I help you pick a dress?"
"No, my mother would hate that."

"Okay, okay." He sighed and looked away before a loud voice boomed through the halls.

"NO CONVERCING IN THE HALLS WHILE CLASS IS IN SESSION. YOU HAVE 5 SECONDS." the black-haired man yelled, he looked towards his friend but she was long gone, he decided to not put up a fight for once and just give in for the day. Going to class.

"You guys have to meet her," Kaito said smiling as he messaged her back and forth through the class as he's been doing for the past couple of weeks. Since knowing about her telescope she's been laying down every little detail about it and it's given him the most exciting feeling. He's exclusive. No one else knows but him and her family.

"I have met her. She seems nice." Shuichi said with Kokichi hanging off his arm.

"I'm not gonna meet another lame-ass star kid." He stated.

"You take that back!" Kaito said gritting his teeth

"Jeeez you can't take a little lie," Kokichi said with a smirk as Kaito rolled his eyes. Oh, another message.

[Yes! I have to go see the new section of the museum about space!] she texted so cutely. Everything about her was just absolutely adorable. Why she had no more than 2 friends was beyond him.

"She's not gonna meet you." He said as he texted Sutā back, Kaede smiled and leaned towards him.

"Whatcha typing?"

"Nothin' much," Kaito responded.

[Hell yes! Let's GO! Next weekend? Or maybe this weekend if you're free?]

"You type with so many question marks!" Kaede said with a bit of surprise and Kaito pulled his phone closer to him.

"Oi!"

"You've been texting her all class! I had to see at least one." She teased. He frowned and put his phone away. She's probably gonna start paying attention to class again some time... he should probably do the same but he didn't want to... he just wanted to talk to her more... he's not usually like this but maybe it's just because they're in class! Yeah! That's it! He felt a buzz in his pocket. No Kaito doesn't answer it... don't... don't... you can do this... god why is he so bored- FUCK IT!

He pulled his phone out and saw ... oh it's Kokichi... [Got u binch ]

Kaito grit his teeth and put his phone away once more. He's sure Sutā has no problem paying attention instead of messaging back. She was a good girl when it came to class at least until now. The idea that he changed her hit him hard and it made him smile to himself as he doodled on his notebook instead of paying attention to what was happening in the room at all. Even though you don't need notebooks his grandmother still made him get one and this is exactly all he used it for. Little stick figure Kaito drawings. There was a little drawing of him landing on Sutā's planet with her, Shuichi, Kaede and maki all holding hands and the planet was called Kaito Momota's planet of awesome. He's not very creative but he's plenty happy with it.

"Oh whatcha up to Momota?" His teacher said as she peered over at him. Her hair was pink like bubble gum and was an odd-looking woman but very nice.

"Jus' drawin' my future accomplishments!" He said proudly.

"If he ever has any~," Kokichi said with a laugh.

"Yeah, shit for a dick over there won't get far!" Miu said with a loud laugh.

"No one's talking to you, fat ugly horse face," Kokichi responded aggressively with a finger across his face, smiling.

"H-hey you don't need to... look at me like that..." Miu responded shakily. Kaito glared and went to hit his fists together but his teacher smiled at him and gave him a salute.

"You can do it Momota! I'll be proud to say I taught you!" Her voice was so sweet and he couldn't say no to that face.

"I'll see ya there teach!" He said enthused. But then he saw Sutā out the door, he quickly stood up, saluted his teacher and ran out. Kaede and Shuichi laughed a bit and tried to cover for him. He wasn't sure why though, you can come and go as you please in that school. He tripped on his way out and threw himself into her. Sutā came tumbling down easily, Blushing hard as she did. He looked at her funny before looking back and realizing she was talking to a boy. But not just any boy. Oh no. The boy she liked. She's liked him for a while and Kaito knew this... he said he'd help get her confidence up enough to talk to him but... he's still shocked she does it.

This was Lucile Choi. He was ... Sutā never told him what his super high school level was. He stood there in his jacket and laughed at what had just happened to Sutā. Kaito laughed louder and pulled her up. She blushed harder and awkwardly swallowed her pride. So this is why... she wasn't messaging? She was talking to him? Given it's only been... maybe 10... 15 minutes since her last message. He was proud for sure but the way this guy laughed kinda bothered him.

"You okay?" Kaito said with his laugh. Sutā quickly nodded and smiled.

"Quite a fall you had there." He had lighter red hair than her, glasses...

"Yeah, I'm fine." She answered. God this guys hair was like some kinda k pop star. He wore a baggy sweater... he looked to be in shape... better shape than him.

"That's good. Who's this?" Luciel asked.

His pants were baggy too. Sneakers. Was he even trying to go to school? Or did he just come here to look cool and flirt? ... well, honestly that's what Kaito was here to do himself but...

"Uh... Kaito?" She said with an eyebrow raise.

"Oh. Momota Kaito! The luminary of the stars!" He said in his usual hype fashion. Luciel laughed... well it wasn't much of a laugh, it was more like...

"Lolololol! I love space~ it's so cool to see two space people so close that they run into each other! Haha!" He said with a smile.

What was this guy?
