Yoru and tsuki were both falling for each other but neither knew how the other felt. They were in different years as well; Yoru was in his third and final year of high school, while Tsuki was only a year younger then him she was only a first year having been held back after studying abroad for a year.
Both students went to their own classes after the incident in detention. It was already the last class of the day and yoru was anxious for the bell to ring, for once he didn't have detention after school. He knew the girl he had met earlier walked the same way home that he did, at least for a few streets and he wanted to talk to her. He had been staring off into space during all his classes thinking about tsuki. (Gah! yoru stop it! get it together!) He mentally hit himself.
The bell rang signalling the end of the school day, causing all the students to pack up and leave the classroom in a hurry. When yoru went to find tsuki, she and one of her two best friends, rhythm, were outside their classroom talking and had obviously been some of the last people to leave. Yoru watches them from down the hall. (Wait...what if they're together? Would make sense with how much time they spend together...they were always talking too) but he didn't want to assume the worst and decided to wait for rhythm to leave before he approached her.
Tsuki was oblivious to the fact she was being watched. "I'll see you tomorrow right rhythm?" She puffs her cheeks out as he laughs and ruffles her hair.
"Of course okami, we always meet up at the same spot every morning." He was rewarded on that comment with a huff from tsuki.
"Don't call me okami" Rhythm just laughed again at her stubbornness towards the fitting nickname.
"Whatever you say okami" The athletic second year waves as he runs off to the basketball courts for practice with the rest of the team. Tsuki rolled her eyes but she smiles and starts walking toward the doors of the school, rhythm was the only person other then his twin sister temari who didn't treat her like a freak. Yoru saw rhythm leave and sped up his walking to catch up with tsuki, quickly catching up with her and falling into step beside her.
"Yo!" He called out to her right as he caught up. "You're 'tsuki' right?" Yoru flashed a grin.
Tsuki nodded, her bangs side-parted and covering half of her face. "Yea that's me, your name's yoru isn't it? You were in detention this morning...thanks for sticking up for me back there." She smiles a bit and pushes a few locks of hair out of her face.
Yoru smiles at the smaller girl. "No problem! They are a bunch of jerks anyway."
"Why did you do it though? You barely know me...we aren't even in the same year" Tsuki asked, curious about what answer he would give her.
"E-eh?" He rubbed the back of his head and grinned sheepishly. "I was worried that's all...they shouldn't be treating younger students like that...especially a girl"
She smiled a bit. "Kinda stupid you have that 'bad boy' reputation then..." Tsuki looked over at him walking beside her. "You seem pretty nice to me"
Yoru smirked lightly then gets a stunned look and blinks. "Wait...you think I'm nice?" He looked her in the eye, leaning towards her as they walked.
"Yea I do." She glances over at him with her visible eye.
He blinks again and moved back a bit, a light blush dusting over his cheeks. "Th-thanks..."
Tsuki smiles. "Your welcome, you headed this way?" She nods to the street she was about to turn onto but yoru shakes his head.
"nah, I'm going this way" He nods to indicate he was continuing down the street they were on. "So...see you tomorrow?" Yoru smiled and scratches his neck.
The 16 year old smiles at the blushing boy "Yea...I'll see you tomorrow yoru-senpai." They both say their goodbyes and go their separate ways to their own homes. Both students had the same early morning detention the next day.
Yoru arrived home after a few more minutes of walking. "Tadaima..." He pulled of his shoes as he entered the house, grabbing some milk from the fridge and ignoring one of his older sisters, Eru, bugging him about 'love'. He went upstairs not really responding to his sister and flops onto his bed on his back after setting the milk on his desk. He knew he should sleep but he just couldn't.
Tsuki arrived in her own home at around the same time...but she didn't have anyone to say 'tadaima' too. Her pit-bull, holly, ran up to her happily as soon as she got in the door. "Hey girl! Did you miss me today baby?" She smiles and kneels down to say hello to her dog, holly buried her head in tsukis lap, rubbing her head against her owners stomach happily as tsuki scratches her ears and tummy. "Come on girl, lets head to bed" Tsuki goes upstairs with her dog at her heels, and lays on her bed. (Yoru's smile is so cute...wait what am i thinking!? He probably likes miki...or someone like that...) She sighed and drifted off to sleep, yoru having some the same in his own home 5 minutes away at the same time.
