Chapter 2
"Why so grumpy Shin-chan?"
I adjusted my glasses and coldly ignored him.
"Don't be like that Shin-chan," Takao pouted. "I bought you your favourite drink and peddled all the way here, the least you can do is look at me."
Through the corner of my eyes I could see his pursed lips and in seconds felt my cheeks go red. No… I shouldn't be feeling like this, I needed to focus.
It was almost 15:00. I needed to be aware.
The horoscope said 15 is my lucky number today so I can't assume it only been linked with time but…
Takao sighed loudly, "You need to stop being so serious Shin-chan. Relax now and then, or else those frown lines will ruin your skin."
I bet Takao's skin is soft…
No, I shouldn't be thinking of things like that. I clutched the bible. I shall not sin today.
"Shin-chan is there something else bothering you?" He asked sympathetically.
"No."
I felt Takao's warm touch on my hand clutching the book and flinched regrettably.
"You know you can talk to me Shin-chan. We are teammates after all."
'Teammates…' So why is it I look at all my other teammates and feel nothing compared to the burst of emotion and anxiety I feel when I look at him?
The booth we were sitting in had plenty of room, so why was he sitting so close to me? Does he know how he makes me feel? Does he do this on purpose?
The breeze from the door opening made Takao cross his arms. "Kuroko," a loud and familiar voice moaned.
"What is it Kagami-kun?" Another familiar voice answered.
My eyebrow twitched in agitation. Ugh.
For the first time arriving I turn to Takao. "We're leaving."
Takao, being Takao, ignored me and stood up. "Kagami, Kuroko, what are you two doing here?" He greeted them with a smile I've seen so many times that it's annoyingly embedded into my mind. He smiled at everyone like that, why?
"Huh?" Kagami, the Leo, gave us a puzzled look. "We're getting drinks, why else?"
"Of course, silly me," Takao chuckled.
Kuroko looked at me as I scowled at him. I hate Aquarius's.
If 15 is my lucky number and maybe my lucky time and Kagami is bad news, would this cause me more trouble than I anticipated?
I checked the time, 14:58. Surely it just turned 1 not that long ago.
"It was pleasant running into you two but we were just about to leave." My shadow towers over Kuroko. I had two minutes to exit. Two minutes exactly.
Takao pushed me down unexpectedly, needing more force than he thought and getting his face closer to mine than what was comfortable.
His breath tickled my skin, "Relax Shin-chan."
