Hello everyone, just wanted to try and post a second chapter in one week since I really need to start updating these stories more regularly.

Ren

Ren's Letter and thoughts

English


Ren POV

The classes flew by quickly I found out I only had papa's class with Misaki when we compared our schedules. We walked out of our last class together and I told Misaki I had someone I wanted to look for and in the end I searched around for papa.

"Are you lost?" I heard someone walking up behind me, as I turned around I saw a boy with brown hair and grey eyes.

"A bit…actually I'm looking for Kamijou-sensei, he works with Professor Miyagi do you know where I can find him?"

"Why do you need to see him?"

"Something personal what's wrong with that?"

"…that man is a homo if you're going to confess you'll get turned down."

"C-C-Confess?! That is a ridiculous assumption, even coming from you!" I face palmed.

"Why else would you see him if it's something personal, school only started today." I groaned as he tried to make a sound argument.

"You really need to calm down, I think you've gotten the wrong idea in your head."

"It's Takatsuki Shinobu-sama, not you." He said proudly.

"Takatsuki-kun can we go now?" I said brushing him off.

"Fine, but don't come crying to me when he rejects you." He gently grabbed my wrist and pulled me along.

"Shinobu-kun…it's not you, but Ren-sama." I teased, "Let's be friends Shinobu-kun!"

I was surprised when I saw his ears turn bright red. You just have a big mouth. He said nothing as he continued to lead me around.

"I recently moved to Japan, so I'm still learning about Tokyo and where things are. Plus I was in a state of shock from a family incident and I wanted to start new." I told him as I allowed him to continue dragging me.

"Sure. Where are you from Ren-chan?"

"America." I replied.

"Then you must understand what I'm saying." He gave me a smug look.

"By the way, you're accent is very thick, are you sure you can speak the language fluently?" I said sarcastically.

"A person who can speak English better than I can, I think I can get along with you." Shinobu stopped in front of a door.

"We're here do you need me to walk in with you?"

"Aww you do care!" I said dramatically as I gave the door a knock and walked inside with Shinobu following behind me.

"Shinobu-chin are you here to introduce me to this beautiful student!" The professor said flamboyantly.

"Professor Miyagi, is Kamijou-sensei in?" I asked politely ignoring how strange it sounded.

"Yeah he is, Kamijou! A pretty young lady is here to see you." He called in an annoying voice.

"I'm busy." I heard him say curtly.

"I can leave a message, what is your name?"

"Kamijou Ren please tell him I searched far and wide to have lunch with him, and that a nice boy helped me." I smirked a bit and tried not to laugh when I saw the professor had caught on.

"Kamijou she shares your surname and says she's had such a difficult time searching for you and a boy helped her out, they're so cute holding hands like that!" I almost smacked him. Professor that was too much!

"Tell Ren and that boy to come in, we need to have a chat." He growled.

I sat down across from papa and watched him eye Shinobu.

"Kamijou-sensei it really isn't like that." I started to explain.

"If he's the one who helped you I have no reason to believe the professor."

"You're not mad?" I looked at him in disbelief.

"He's the Dean's son and I always get caught up in their little quarrels." Papa motioned his eyes towards Professor Miyagi.

"I see." I sighed in relief.

"Ren-chan, don't tell me that you're that man's lover!" Shinobu looked at me in horror.

"Calm down, I think you have the wrong idea Shinobu-kun."

I gave papa a small look from the corner of my eye and I watched the side of his mouth twitch upwards. He must have been highly amused. I shrugged my shoulders and rummaged around in my bag and took out a wrapped lunch.

"Kamijou-Sensei, I brought you a bento, a mutual acquaintance of ours told me to give it to you." My voice wavered as I tried not to laugh.

"I'll accept it, if we're done here you two can go back." He waved a hand trying to act as if he didn't care.

"Excuse us." I stood up and pulled Shinobu out of the room.


Hiroki waited until he heard their footsteps disappear before he untied the piece of fabric and opened up the little box. It was arranged in colorful fashion with every food group. Hiroki noticed a folded piece of paper taped inside the top. Carefully peeling it from the tape he unfolded it and read the elegant handwriting.

Papa, if you're reading this, it means we weren't able to have lunch together. Daddy told me what kind of food you liked last night and when I said a mutual acquaintance made this for you it was me. If you want, I can make one every day for the two of us. I have your class after lunch pull me aside to tell me if you would like some more.

Love,

Ren

Hiroki could feel himself smiling unaware Yoh was sitting right in front of him.

"Kamijou you've been ignoring me and smiling like an idiot for the past few seconds." Yoh pouted pretending to be deeply hurt.

"I w-wasn't smiling, you must have been imagining things." Hiroki quickly folded the paper and tucked it into his shirt pocket.
