I breathed a huge sigh of relief as professor Kamijou and Nowaki shut the door behind them. The looks they'd been exchanging were making me too warm, and I sure as hell did not want Usagi-san to notice. I could tell his patience with Aikawa was thinning as it was. It was making me tense. I was so glad the professor didn't recognize me, even though it had been a couple years since I'd taken his class. I hadn't known he and Usagi-san were friends. Kamijou the Demon was surprisingly calm with his tall boyfriend around. I was still trying to get my head around it when Aikawa-san announced that she was leaving. Usagi-san walked her to the door, almost pushing her out as she listed last-minute reminders. After he shut the door, he looked back at me.
Sometimes, I really hate getting jumped. It's always such a shock, even when I see it coming. Nowaki seemed so gentle with the professor, I sort of wished Usagi-san would give me a chance to catch my breath. I would try it. I would stand my ground. I wouldn't act like a kid and throw a tantrum; I would calmly explain what I wanted. How much more embarrassed could I get anyway? He stalked toward me, and for once, I didn't pretend that I couldn't see him coming, and I didn't run away.
