Dr. Kiryu stood at the front of the History class, the class where Neku was just a student, not an assistant. The spiky haired senior stared blindly out one of the windows, waiting for his name to be called as the doctor passed back the test results.
"Sakuraba!" Neku shot straight up in his chair, eyes wide as he met Dr. Kiryu's purple gaze. "See me after class." The boy slumped over, practically banging his head against the desktop. That couldn't be good.
Neku had been making it his goal since the school year began to spend as little time as possible with the insane history teacher. The doctor hadn't cross-dressed since, however he had a way of making comments that others didn't seem to catch the innuendos or double entendres… or Neku was just being a young adult again. However one glance into those glinting eyes and Neku knew right away he wasn't imagining it.
He shook his head and scowled when the bell rang. The other students up and left without even glancing in his direction and Neku was happy with that. He didn't need any more recognition. The whole school knew of that embarrassing conversation on the first day of classes and he knew that at the very moment word was spreading of the doctor holding him after class.
"Sakuraba," the doctor cooed, "I thought I'd share with you your success." The redhead raised an eyebrow and leaned back in his chair. The doctor grinned. "What, hadn't you heard?"
"Heard what?"
"I told the class that the class average was 45%." Dr. Kiryu was messing with Neku's test results, wiggling the paper back and forth so Neku's gaze was drawn to the paper. "You however scored much higher than that."
Neku shrugged, gathering his stuff. "So? Why make me stay after?" He threw on his backpack and approached the elegantly dressed history teacher. The doctor stopped waving the paper and handed it to the senior, score down.
When Neku went to flip it over, the doctor shook his head. "Now now, wait until you're off campus before glancing at it. Or something bad will happen." The look Neku shot the teacher was dubious but decided to humor him, folding the test in half and shoving it quickly into the front pocket of his bag. "Good boy." The phrase had Neku clenching his fists in anger and his scowl deepened.
He ignored the teacher's call of "See you tomorrow, dear" and walked towards the school gate. The very second he was off school property, he pulled the test back out.

Not bad, Neku thought to himself. He did better than a majority of the rest. With a smile the boy pulled on his headphones and began the walk home, not noticing the tall history teacher standing just inside the gate with a giggle on his lips.
