Unusual pairing but it was fun to try :D

Thanks again to Chat_Coccinelle from Ao3 for the suggestion!

"It isn't what it looks like!", Nino quickly cried out, ripping off his headphones just before Chloé came into his view but at her testing glare he faltered, "Okay… Maybe it is…"

"I knew it!", she exclaimed, stomping her foot, "Damnit, Nino, again?! We talked about this!"

He slowly shook his head, backing up against the wall. Thank god, he had pulled off his headphones and hid them before she had seen them so maybe he would still have a chance?

Oh, why was he lying to himself. Ever since she had become Queen B she was way more observant. She had figured him out completely and he could even feel Wayzz snickering behind his back.

"I-… I was skipping the lesson, yes…", he admitted, "But only because I-… I-…"

She saw that his arms moved, as if he wanted to push something into the hem of his jeans and pull his shirt over, making her cross her arms.

"What're you hiding, Turtle boy?"

"Nothing!", he retorted, maybe a little too quickly.

"Don't make me come over there myself!", she growled, causing him to wince.

"N-No, not necessary, hahah, let's just go back to class?"

Chloé didn't move one bit, making him pull up his shoulders. Luckily, he had managed to hide his headphones by pulling his shirt over them so maybe he could sneak around her. As long as she wouldn't look at his back, that is.

"Nino?"

He bit his lip, trying to look innocent but he knew she had figured him out. There was no way he'd be able to hide anything from her.

"C'mon, tell me why I find you here half an hour after the lesson started."

He ducked his head, humming uneasily.

"I, uh… I wasn't feeling too well?", he tried but she shook her head, coming closer.

"And now the truth?"

He let out a huge breath, knowing he had lost.

"My-… My favorite band just brought out their new album… I wanted to listen to it… You're a buzzkill, you know that?"

"You're punning on me, really?", she rolled her eyes, stepping even closer and smirking smugly. He gulped, his back pressed against the wall, a sheepish smile on his face.

"Uuh-… What're you doing, Chloé?"

She shrugged, seemingly not caring that she was so close to him.

"I dunno, I was just thinking we could spare a little more time off the lesson… You cute, bad boy.", and then she leant in for a kiss.
