Chapter %
He was walking to school. Third day starting and he was pissed to begin with. He had slept poorly and his shoulders and neck were jammed.
When he reached the class room he flopped down on his desk and rested his head on the table. Wish it would be weekend already. A shadow landed on his face. He figured it was just someone sitting close to him and didn't open his eyes. But the shadow didn't move, so he finally cracked one eye open. It was the girl from yesterday.
"Morning" she said staring at him. "Tired?"
if he hadn't been so tired he would have rolled his eyes. In stead he just closed his eye.
"Clever one aren't you?" he said sarcastically. He heard the girl huff
"What Fai did yesterday wasn't nice but it's no reason to lash out on everyone."
he lifted his head up and stared the girl
"How did you know?"
the girl giggled
"Silly. I am in the same class" he stared the girl stupefied. The girl pointed to the other side of the room "I sit there."
"Oh" a silence and the girl kept looking at him amused. "I have been here only few days. I can't notice anything." he defended himself. The girl shook her head
"You didn't care. Usually newcomers try to get friends and get to know his, or hers, classmates."
"I don't need a lecture" he growled
"But I think you do. At this rate, you will be left out. You know Fai is rather popular even though he doesn't let anyone close. When everyone else realize you two are fighting they will start teasing you too."
he looked away. He would not make friends just so some jerks wouldn't make fun of him. The girl sounded sad when she continued.
"I can tell you can fight. And I bet it has something to do with you coming here"
he glared the girl
"I am not a bad guy"
the girl smiled sadly
"I believe that. But you are too defiant. My sister used to be like that too, but thank god she grew out of it." the girl leaned down so their faces weren't far apart and she whispered "Not all are out here to get you. I'm here to help" she straightened up. "I'm going to talk to Fai next. So, in the lunch break, safe a few seats close to you so we can try patching things up"
he looked her suspiciously
"Why are you doing this?"
she shrugged
"Because you remind me of my sister. And I really care for Fai."
the girl went to her seat and soon Fai came and the teacher right behind him. The blond walked past him like he didn't exist but he wasn't paying ay attention. He was looking the girl who stared Fai. He knew that look. The girl had a crush on Fai. That would explain why she would go all this way to stop their fight. The teacher called the lesson to begin and he decided that if the blond would act civilized he would do it too.
The lunch break came again and this time he went there among the first people so he could have the seats. He went to a one round four people table near the window and sat there. He left his back on other chair and glared everyone who even dared to try approach his table.
The girl and Fai came in a while later and Fai didn't look too pleased. He grinned to himself, apparently the girl had given the blond quite a lecture. The girl looked around after getting her lunch and seeing him see waved at him. He gave a slight nod back and the girl beamed a smile to him before turning to Fai who came after her. Whatever the girl said it made the blond frown.
The two headed to the table and he took the bag off of the chair.
"Hi Kurogane" the girl said.
"Hi" he grunted back glancing Fai. The girl looked at Fai too and pocked him to the side.
"Hi Kurogane" the blond said rather coldly. He lifted an eyebrow
"So you do know my name and how to say it correctly"
the blond sighed
"Of course. It's not hard. It was just funny how you got so angry about it."
he frowned and was about to comment back when the girl, having put her tray on the table, lifted her hands.
"Guys, guys. Didn't I already told you too to act properly"
he shrugged and Fai nodded. The two sat down and they all munched their food in silence.
When it just continued the girl sighed.
"This is not working. So that you too can talk more freely, I will move to the next table. But I will be watching you. So no yelling, okay"
he snorted and the blond looked the girl
"But Tomoyo..." the girl lifted her hand and silenced Fai just like that. He wanted to learn to do that too.
"No. you stay." the girl smiled at him "Don't let him get to you. His tongue is just a bit too fast for his own good" he smirked at that and Fai blushed slightly
"You are horrible" the girl just grinned evilly
"I know. And you better not forget it" the girl laughed and walked away.
The were silent for a while, neither eating or looking each others.
"You overreacted" he finally said.
"You went into personal things"
he lifted an eyebrow and looked at the blond who was staring intently his plate.
"So you admit you don't smile for real?"
the blue eyes looked up and there was a frown
"It's real. I don't know what you are talking about"
he rolled his eyes and leaned back in his chair
"The one time you smiled for real was when the...principal came to whine"
the white bangs covered Fai's face
"How so?" he barely heard the quietly asked question.
"Because that was the only time it reached your eyes too."
the blond sighed.
"Sorry I made fun of your picture"
his eyebrow twitched recalling it but he forced himself to let it go. After all, the guy was apologizing.
"It was good drawing" the blond continued.
"Whatever" he cut the praising. "It was only a scribble."
"Hyuu! Kuro-pin is modest!"
He groaned
"back with the nicknames?"
"Of course. Kuro-min is anyway much cuter name than Kurogane"
he rolled his eyes
"I'm a guy. I don't need my name to be ´cute´" he spat the last word out in disgust. He didn't want to be anything that could be considered cute.
"Aww" the blond whined "I know Kuro-wan is actually weak for sweet and cute stuff"
"What the hell are you talking about?" he asked bewildered. The blond was in a totally new level of strangeness. The blond smiled widely and pointed to himself
"Why else would you be so drawn into me?"
he jumped up from his chair.
"The hell?!"
the blond grabbed the tray laughing and dashed away. He cursed and followed suit with his train. Too bad there weren't line in the deposit place so Fai managed to keep his head start.
They run through the hallways all the way to the school yard. He had gotten closer to the blond the whole time, so outdoors Fai zigzagged and dived to avoid being caught. Finally the blond run out of breath and leaned to a wall for support while wheezing for air. He halted next to the guy
"Still think so?"
the blond could hardly chuckle
"Sure. Why else would you chase me this much?"
he pushed the guy against the wall and pinned him there
"Because someone needs to knock some sense into your delusional brain"
the blue eyes just stared at him and the lips were smiling. He ceased the pressure a bit in surprise
"Aren't you scared?" in his old school, even his friends had been a bit terrified at similar situations. Even those he had grew up with. And especially after he had switched to the second school.
But these eyes just looked curious
"Why would I be? I know you wouldn't really hurt me. You too just tend to say the first thing that comes to your mind, right?"
he stepped back
"You are an odd one"
Fai stepped to the side to get more room and gave a flamboyant bow
"Thank you."
"And stupid"
Fai laughed and smiled at him, for real with the blue eyes having dancing sparks in them
"And you are funny".
He grimaced and the blond's smile turned mischievous "And cute"
when he registered what was said the blond was already running away, arms up in the air and Hyuuing and fooling around on the way. He shook his head and begun the chase again. He would not be called cute without any consequences.
yeah, well, I think if they had met at younger age, they would have been something like this. right?
