Shatter.
The bell rang and there were broken glasses sprawled on the floor. The blonde dropped a beaker and a student grabbed a broom.
"No, it's quite all right." The teacher refused the help. "There's no need to worry about this, I'll clean it up. You all should go home, assignments are a pain right~? And you have to go to your room to clean up~" He explained, wearing a smile.
"But, sensei…" Sakura called worriedly as Fai gently took the broom from Sakura's hand.
"I told you it's alright, didn't I~?" He added. "Now, everyone go home safely ok~?" He finalized and everyone bade him goodbye though some students made a troubled glad over the waving teacher.
As soon as everyone left, the blonde picked up the large broken glasses before sweeping the rest.
Why was he not seeing his favorite teacher? – That is the question. The preparation for the prom is now beyond the gym teacher's hands since the maintenance will be the ones who are going to prepare it. It's not like they didn't meet today, it's just that he usually see him between classes and after classes but today, two days after he got back, he only saw him during P.E. outside and when he visits the gym teacher's room he isn't there. Now what could be the reason for it now? Is it because he felt awkward after that… abrupt kiss?
Putting the broken glasses in the trash, he reminded himself that he has to pay for that
Sigh.
It's Wednesday right? Ah. He has to go at the cooking room; hopefully Yuui should still be there. Every Wednesday, the twins always go the supermarket, it's a weekly task.
After cleaning up his table, he locked the door and went to the Home Economics Room. While walking at the hallways, he saw a familiar person enter the Yuui's room. Kurogane-sensei? What could he be doing at Yuui's?
He quickens his pace so that he could know what was going on. He neared to the door and heard a little conversation between the two.
"I want to tell you something…" He heard a low gruffly voice said.
"Has it got something to do with Valentine's Day?" This time a softer voice.
"Ah."
A small chuckle. "Then I accept."
Kuro-tan and Yuui? But that's… not right… He thinks… and he can't think of what to do… He decided to enter the room.
"Yuui~!!" He called him and barged into the room.
"Fai." The other twin responded with a gentle smile
He glances at Kurogane. "Fancy meeting Kuro-pii-sensei here~! What brings you to Yuui~?" He asked, unsure if he really wanted to know the answer.
"I was… uhmm…" A faint blush was on the tan teacher's cheeks. Looks like the cheerful blonde did interrupt something. What's the reason for the obvious flush? Is it because Kuro-tan asked Yuui out and he didn't want Fai to know? "…talking to your twin. What's it to you?" Fai noticed that the red eyes avoided contact with his blue eyes and those burning eyes rested on Yuui's.
The chemistry teacher felt his stomach turning. The red orbs that were constantly glaring in anger, now have a completely different gaze but not for him. He wonders what the other was thinking but came to a conclusion he need not want to know.
"Fai…?" The twin called his attention worriedly, breaking him from his thoughts.
"Ah~! I think I forgot something at the lab~!" He ran to the door. "I'll come back later Yuui~" He tries to keep his voice naturally as best as he can, acting as normal as he can, and left without making eye contact to the two men inside.
Why has he not been seeing Kurogane-sensei? The answer is simple: The gym teacher was with his twin.
Let's make this clear. He didn't have to get jealous and yes, he's not jealous. Why should he be? There's no need to, it's not like Kurogane and him made vows to each other, hell, they're not even couples. They're nothing more than friends who keeps teasing and annoying the hell out of each other. And it's his twin, he loves Yuui so he won't do anything that will make him sad. There's no point to get jealous and there will never be a point. He should just leave them alone since it's not his business who the other dates or wants to date…
…but even with those logical reasons, even with all those thoughts he mustered… somewhere in between those reasonable explanations… there's still that feeling that doesn't seem to fade as he talk himself out of those thoughts.
He heads to the school gate, almost running, wanting to get those silly ideas out of his heads.
"Oi. Where are you going?" He wanted to stop upon hearing the husky voice, but he didn't. He walked forward disobeying his legs that wanted to stop, emotions taking over his body, stubbornness taking over his body.
"I'm talking to you. Damn it!" A hand gripped his wrist and pulled him to face the owner of the voice. Even though he knows who the owner was, it surprised him to feel the tug was not as harsh as he expected from him. It was careful as if he was being handled as a vulnerable precious glass, afraid of getting it broken.
"A-ahahaha~!" He stuttered, hoping the other would just let it fly. "Kuro-min-sensei? What's up all of a sudden~?" Smiling cutely while shaking his hand a little to get free of the hold.
"What are you doing?" Kurogane asked.
"Me~? I decided to get a change of clothes because I thought Yuui has some things to do~" He lied.
"No, you're not." It startled the blonde a bit to hear a serious voice from the gym teacher.
"Eh? But I need to~ Yuui might wait for me for a long time if I don't get home sooner." He added.
He eyed Kurogane, reaching in his own pocket and let out a small hankie. He placed it on the blonde's palm, squeezing it lightly. Fai hissed.
"Idiot!!" The chemistry teacher almost jump at the loudness of the other's voice. "What are you doing walking around bleeding like that??!!!" He was scolded. He too stared at his own hand, only to find out the other was right and he is certainly bleeding. His hand was covered with both dried and fresh drips of his blood, running across fingers. He felt his head spin upon seeing it. "Why didn't you treat it earlier?!!" A pair of crimson eyes was set on his blue orbs, abgry but at the same time concerned.
The taller man turned his back, holding the lithe blonde's hand and dragged the blonde inside the school.
"Kuro-chi-sensei?" He hesitantly muttered. "I can treat it when I get home that's why this time, you don't have to…" a memory flashed in his head. "…do this." He whispered and inwardly smiled knowing the reason for the man's behavior. Fai stayed quiet and this time he didn't even have to match Kurogane's quick pace because he was walking bit by bit unlike his usual.
They stopped at the PhysEd Room, the closest room, and entered. The hand got loose and he ordered the blonde to sit. For once, he diligently obeyed. He didn't want to look at this wound so he busied himself staring at the gym teacher getting the first aid kit. The taller man approached Fai holding a white box in his hand. He put the box on his desk next to Fai. The other glared at him as he reached for the wounded hand. He knew this would sting, so he kept his hand away from the other. Another glare, this time more intense. That's all it took for Fai to surrender his hand to the teacher.
Kurogane held Fai's wrist cautiously with one hand while the other rummage in the box before letting out a small bottle of anti-septic and a clean white cloth. He instantly pulled his hand away from the gym teacher but it was no use because he held Fai firmly, preventing him from further move.
"On second thought Kuro-rin… I can take care of this myself." He stared at the wound, a pain in his eyes at knowing what Kurogane would do. The tan man continued putting ointment on the cloth. "I-I don't want to…" He tried to take the hand away from Kurogane however, he gave the blonde another glare.
"Shut it." The taller man ordered. "This was your fault not mine so bear with it."
"I know but..." Fai let out a small hiss as the cloth touched his wound.
"So? Does it have any strange chemicals?" The other asked.
He figured he was talking about if there's something hazardous that went in his body through the wound. "No, it was just plain water." He answered weakly.
"Tsk. No need to look. It won't hurt that much." The teacher reassured the blonde. Fai did what he was told and looked elsewhere. Instead of looking at his wound, he looked at Kurogane. The gym teacher worked on cleaning the blood on his hand and wrapped a clean piece of cloth on Fai's hand. "See? All done." He secured the wound.
Fai stood up from his seat and wriggled a bit.
"Thank you~ Kuro-rin-sensei~!!!" He expressed his gratitude with a slight bow of his head and flashed a bright smile. But after that, he felt his head spinning again and closed his eyes. He felt his body giving up and thought he was going to fall.
"You really are an idiot." He heard Kurogane spoke and felt warm hands around his waist pulling him closer to the taller man's chest.
"Kuro-min…?" He whispered as his body feels sluggish. He heard Kurogane sigh.
"Did you forget? You can't take the sight of blood?" That was the last thing he remembered as he faints into Kurogane's arms.
