This is kurogane's POV in accordance to the first chap.
It's been a whole two days since Kurogane left the school to go at some random places. He had been appointed in running errands, err, not errands but preparing for the upcoming Valentine's Event. The crazy school principal dumped all the work on him: from the interior design to the food. The design is elegant; the table and seat covers, the huge curtains for the stage are also beautiful. There were various foods and dessert, and by the looks of it, the buffet will be delicious. But even with all the praise for the forthcoming event… why was he to travel to order for these things?! Although the school is in Tokyo, why did he have to buy the covers at Nagoya? Even if there are bullet trains, why can't they just order it online or via telephone? The foods were all delicious but they were all from different restaurants and shops. He had to go throughout Tokyo just to find those places. Tsk. What a pain. It's a good thing he'll be going back to his usual work today but he has to drop to the school first.
Hmmm… Speaking of school, he was wondering if a certain chemistry teacher hasn't been doing something idiotic and weird that wouldn't freak the students out. He's been happy to have a trip alone, away from the over-enthusiastic blonde he always sees at school. The one bugging him all the time, calling him some random nicknames and pissing the hell out of him, he's sure that one of these days he might end up killing his coworker. Although a change of pace won't kill anyone – he thought – maybe all he needs is this peace and quiet.
Two days without that chemistry teacher… He heaved. To be honest… It's too quiet and boring…
The taxi had stopped in front of the academy. It was quiet probably because there are still classes going on. After paying, he immediately went to the principal's office to report the things he had done at the tip, the things he bought and the outcomes.
"Just expected from Kurogane-sensei!!!" The long-haired principal said and sipped some tea. "Thank you!! If I were to order some other person, he might not do it with such speed as yours." She thanked while the tan man seems to not care at what the other was saying.
"Ah. So am I free to do anything now? Or do I have to go to class?" He asked.
"Oh~ you're free for the day and you don't have to attend class either since it's the last period." She replied sipping another from the cup. "Besides…" She eyed the man with a knowing stare. In return, the man just raised an eyebrow, questioning himself what's with the stare. "…I think you've missed our popular blonde science teacher." She grinned playfully.
What the hell is she saying? There's no way he'd miss that idiotic teacher. "No, I didn't." He retorted. "Now, if you'll excuse me…" He added and headed to the door wanting to end the stupid conversation.
"Whatever Kurogane-sensei… But you know, some things can't be hidden for so long." She said and when the gym teacher tried to look at the principal, she was already looking outside through the huge window pane, smiling and sipping more of the tea.
"I don't know what you're talking about." He admitted, though in the back of his head a mental image of the annoying blonde ran through his head. And with that he left the principal's room and went to his own.
He played with the keys in his pocket while thinking of the principal's words and the figure that occupied his thoughts. Tsk. He really has gone to being crazy too. Why was he thinking of such things? More specifically, why was he thinking of the chemistry teacher?
He stopped outside his room and put the key in the doorknob. Sliding the door to the side, the room opened and it was exactly how he left it – clean and organized. He heard the bell ringing and thought that a certain teacher would be running here and annoy the hell out of him. He sat on his chair and stared at nothing in particular, the ceiling maybe?
Five minutes had passed and the teacher he thought was going at his room hasn't arrived yet. The last class the blonde was teaching was only across the hall, a few rooms away from each other. He tapped his foot against the floor, waiting impatiently. What is that chemistry teacher doing? Why isn't he here yet? It irritated him that he was wrong about is presumption; he was more irritated at the thought the other didn't even have the time to drop by but the thing that irritated him the most was the thought that he was irritated by something so trivial.
He stood up from his seat and decided to go home. Why was he waiting for Fai in the first place? He went to the door and opened it. He paused and seeing that everything was fine and there's nothing to do, he again reached for the door.
"Kuro-pon-sensei~!!" He heard that familiar voice that no man should ever own. As usual, he was tackled by the small figure, arms wrapped around his neck for support. He yanked as he tried to keep his stance without the both of them falling to the ground. He should have foreseen something like this would happen. This man is just like a mushroom, appearing at times you least expected.
He hissed, a sign of annoyance and at the same time, even though they only haven't seen each other for two days, nostalgia came up to him. He felt cold and soft skin rubbed against his neck, tickling him at the very least, but showed no irrational movements.
"Oi. Get off of me!!" He growled, furrowing his brows. He didn't really wanted him to get off of him, it's just something they got used too – that whenever he was being hugged there's always some kind of retort. Also, he thought of the other man's position, surely it's hard to cling to someone while your feet was dangling, your own weight carried by your arms.
"I miss my Kuro-rin~" He felt Fai resting his head onto his shoulder. He missed me, huh? "Did he miss me too?" the blonde asked and the man he asked rode a train of thoughts.
A short silence…
What if he did miss him? Should he say it out loud to him? Would it make a different if he confesses that somewhere along the line he did miss that loud voice of him, those infuriating nicknames and his nonsense?
No, not this time, but he will, he's going to wait for awhile.
He took a deep breath to let that train of thought pass him. The arms around him were beginning to get loose and Fai distanced from the man.
"Who the hell is this 'Kuro-rin'?!!" Kurogane roared and saw a smile on the chemistry teacher's white face.
"Waaahh~ Kuro-min-sensei's mad already~!" The blonde grinned poking the taller teacher's arm. "So how was Kuro-sensei's trip?" He asked.
Tsk. He restrained his anger and calmed himself down before he end up punched the lights out of the smaller man.
"Nothing out of the ordinary…" He replied. "…and it was tiring." He added eating the words he wanted to add and say: '…it's boring'.
"I have good news that will make Kuro-pii-sensei happy~!!" The blonde giggled absolutely positive he'll make the gym teacher happier. The tan man just looked incredulously raising an eyebrow. He wondered what the other was talking about this time, his bet that whatever the idea is, it's as crazy as the blonde. "I'll give Kuro-tan chocolates on Valentine's Day~!!!" He cheered making the other opened his mouth in surprise.
He was right. It is a crazy idea. The only man who'd be willing to partake into such things will be some guy like this blonde.
"I'll pass." He declined. The chemistry teacher should not get used to doing whatever the hell he wants, more importantly, girlish stuff.
"Eeeh?? But I know how to make chocolates at the very least."
"What part of that makes me happy exactly?" He then turned around and took a seat. He tried to hide the fact that he was lightly blushing at the eagerness of the smaller man to give chocolates. He arranged tha already arranged papers on his desk to distract himself.
"I told you already. I'll be making and giving Kuro-min-sensei chocolates on Valentine's Day~" The blonde teacher didn't falter and Kurogane smiled inwardly to himself noticing the white man's seriousness.
"You of all people should know I hate sweets. I've been cursing you about those sugary craps you've stuffed in my mouth whenever you caught me off guard." The gym teacher retorted and stacked the pile of papers on the side. Though in most of those times, he thinks back, he had let the other man feed him.
"I know that! But this one's different!" The blonde insisted.
"What makes it different then?" He asked wanting to know the reason and the answer might even help him figure out what he felt for the other.
"Because this time I'll be making it especially for…" Kurogane detected a change of tone in the smaller teacher's voice and went to a small conclusion that he was hiding something. "…for Valentine's Day~!" He flashed a smile. Right away, the tan man saw through the overwrought smile. "But if you really don't want one then it's ok." He added still plastering a smile. Kurogane didn't like this – where the conversation is going, the sad tone of voice and that smile placed on Fai's face. "Oiah~! I forgot, I'm supposed to meet up with Yuui at the HomeEc room. I'll wait for an answer, Kuro-pipi~!!"
"Wait." He stopped the chemistry teacher from reaching the door.
"Hmmm?" Fai looked at Kurogane without a change in his smiling expression. "Made up your mind already?" The taller man wanted to tear that kind of smile off the blonde. He hated how the other would keep things from him, like that time when he had some cuts on his fingers.
Silence.
"Geez… I'll eat it ok?" The gym teacher looked away from the chemistry teacher, hiding his embarrassment for agreeing. But not long, he caught the blue eyes the teacher owned and stared at them. "So… don't wear such faces anymore…" He placed his hand on Fai's white cheek feeling the coldness and smoothness of the skin. He traced his hand downward to rest the hand on the man's chin, cupping it lightly with his two fingers. He tilted Fai's face examining his expressions and thought of how small the man was. Studying the feature of the blonde's face, he become more aware of the sapphire eyes and let himself drown to the sea colored eyes.
It took the gym teacher a whole two seconds to realize what he was doing. Their lips were touching, brushed against each other. He saw the same pair of blue eyes looking at him with disbelief. It didn't surprise him to feel the softness of the other's lips; after all, his cheeks were already soft what makes the other part of his body not soft?
He decided to take what he wanted since he'd gone this far. He closed his eyes as the hand on Fai's chin traveled between the back of his neck and head. He sensed the other move his lips. A frown? A smile? Which is it? Definitely a smile, feeling the curve of the lips was upward. He detected hands clutching his shirt and he was pleased that the hands weren't pushing him away but were pulling him closer. Kurogane shifted his head to change the angle of where their lips met. He nipped the man's lips, first at the top then at the bottom, then drew out his tongue to brush it across the soft lips. His heart was pounding and was becoming breathless.
Kurogane pulled back, removing his hand on the man's neck with gentleness, and the contact ended. He looked at the blonde trying to find any sign of discomfort. The smaller teacher's eyes were still half-lidded from the touch he gave. As Fai opened his eyes, the tan man noted the hands clutched on his shirt, hesitant to pull away but did so nonetheless.
"Kuro-sensei…?" The blonde was the first one to speak, which surprise him, because he was left with nothing to say, though he could still see a flush of pink spread across the man's face. He saw the smaller brushing his fingers along his lips. "Kuro-rin-sensei will eat the chocolates, right?" The taller man made a mental note, registering Fai's face in his head, of the shyness rarely presented by the chemistry teacher.
He sighed, both at the stupid question the blonde asked and to himself for kissing the blonde out of the blue. "I don't want to repeat myself." He replied with the safest reply, away from discomfiture, brows almost meeting at the center as he went back to his usual scowl. He heard the other chuckled. He didn't know what it was for and just let it fly. "You told me your twin was waiting for you… hurry up." He commented.
"As expected from Kuro-pon~"
"Who the hell are you calling 'Kuro-pon'??!!" He shouted. "It's Kurogane!"
"Waai~!! He's mad~!!" The chemistry teacher opened the door and dashed outside.
The tan man was left on his room alone, quietness taking over the room. The quietness wasn't deafening, actually it was soothing, and it's like a peaceful sunny afternoon after a day of typhoon and a weird sandstorm. He did the things he did because…. He pondered over the things that happened which caused him to blush. He did the things he wanted to because… He can no longer wait… and more importantly, because he wanted and felt the need to.
