I was sitting on my bed hugging the bunny plushy tight to my body. I was constantly thinking about yesterday. I was so nervous…but everyone was so nice and…we just kind of knew each other. It was really no different than our chats…well. No, forget about that. Actually it was totally different. Everyone was real. We could touch and make photos. I never had so many selfies. Most of them send to me by the others. Actually only one was made with my phone…and not even by me. I was just… clumsy taking pictures of myself. So when I tried with Gakupo, he took my phone and did it for me while giving me some advice. I look at the picture for the thousandth time. Blushing and hiding behind the bunny.
He is so handsome. I mean, I knew that before but, he was even more handsome in real life. Tall and his purple hair was long and soft and he still looked so manly with board shoulders and his sharp facial structure. It was hunting…well it was hunting me now. I still can't believe that yesterday happened. Still I also feel shy and ashamed.
After dinner we all went home and I left with Miku because we live in the same direction from that place. She later said I was flirting pretty hard with Gakupo. Like…really? Did I? Or was she just teasing me? What if I did? What if he noticed? What if he thinks it's disgusting?
Urg, I panicked due to thoughts like that several times today and I now just feel sick. My phone vibrates. I flinch in shock and unlock the screen. It's Miku asking me if I wrote my essay. Well I tried, but thoughts about a certain purple haired man where keeping me from thinking straight…not that I ever was able to do that, but you get what I mean.
Urg, I was frustrated and just answered a 'no'. I wished I was cooler now. Or more like…having my huge crush being less disturbing. I feel like a girl…I hate that… I may be gay to the tips of my hair but I am NOT girly…just having a mental breakdown over a damn hot guy I became to know via online gaming DAMN MIKU, IT'S YOUR FAULT!
= Want some help? =
...I stare at this massage and it slowly sinks in it was not from Miku. She just asked me over our Line group and now Gakupo was offering his help...
I mean…it was a history essay and I swear history is one of the subjects that just downright hates me. My grades are not bad, but I fight every time. That's why I was procrastinating this till now…because I am the King of procrastinating and an essay written at 2am with way too much caffeine inside my veins due to an overload of energy drinks is always getting me a better grade than one written in a normal mindset….no joke. That's actually how things roll.
Back to the massage because procrastinating answering is not a good thing I heard.
= You don't have to trouble yourself with my essay. =
Did that sounded arrogant? It did, right?
= It's no trouble. It would be nice. I could repeat some topics like that. Want to meet? =
YES! I won't get anything done but yes! I want to meet! By the way I just noticed he changed to the private chat.
= Where? =
= Don't write it at night again! You always look like a zombie when you do. It's scary. =
Miku! Not now! You are bothering me!
= Starbuck at Shibuya crossing =
I know that place! Wait…am I really about to meet Gakupo again…just the next day? God help me….
= I'm working on it =
Miku will know what I mean even though I am not so sure myself what exactly I was referring to. The bunny flew on my bed and I got ready in no time. On a traffic light right before the station I remembered to answer Gakupo.
= On my way =
I was sitting at the huge wall of windows watching the crossing getting floated by people again and again. I hoped to see Kaito in between the moving mass but that was impossible. I had a bigger chance watching the entrance. I still refrained from doing so. He won't arrive that soon. Meanwhile I was looking at my materials. I actually study history and traditional literature. It connects quite nicely and I work hard to get a job at my favored publisher. Well I still have a whole year to go. Enough time to sacrifice some to a very cute bluenette.
I know he struggles with history so as I read about the unfinished essay it was my chance. I don't have anything to do anyway. The fellow student I wanted to meet called in sick.
= Where are you? =
I now looked at the entrance. I saw Kaito immediately. He was tall enough to stick out. I waved him till he noticed me. He looked similar to yesterday, just wearing glasses this time. Me too. We usually use contacts because it is more comfortable in everyday life but Sunday is such a lazy day. It seems we both didn't want to bother with lenses.
„Hi, how are you?" I asked and we hugged roughly. „Good, a little stuck but…that's what I came here for." I laughed as he was getting his coat of revealing a dark blue hoody. Blue is a thing, huh? „Can I get myself some coffee before we…?" „Oh, please do. No starting without caffeine." We both laughed and he lifted his finger to tell me I got the point. We are pretty alike at some points.
Armed with his wallet he left me. I was watching him. His hair was unstyled today, but still had the side part. Well I was not much more motivated. I just put my hair in a messy lose braid. Well, now we know each other's casual student style. He still looked nice.
I turned around. Watching him the whole time would be creepy.
Help…even in his casual clothes he looks hot. I hate it. He was just wearing a thin white long shirt and a light brown cardigan with black pants and some nice boots but hell, he is rocking that. I just look like crap. I should visit a course on how to dress. Well it does not matter anymore. I am here now and my coffee was ready. I took it and came back to Gakupo who had started to do stuff on his phone.
„Anything interesting?" I asked. I don't want to mix in too much but I am curious. „The others are discussing how one can write an essay late at night that makes sense." Oh, I took my phone out of my bag and scanned the conversation. „Well it doesn't…that's the trick." I said and muted the chat. Gakupo seems to do the same. „They will never understand." He commented and I look at him grinning from one ear to another. It's like we are two crazy geniuses but we are just crazy….well I don't mind being the same crazy as him.
„Okay, let's start." He said and I unpacked my school laptop. It's a small little thing that could barely handle me doing some research online but it worked. At the end it was just used for writing and storing some school materials.
While it started I unpacked some books and my work sheet. I gave it right in Gakupos hands and we actually started right away. At the end it was a lot of talking while drinking coffee and he seems to be able to answer all my questions about certain events. I mean, it was just different. He was a history student and had access to all the proper materials teachers in High school don't even bother to mention. I know that we don't even have time to go into everything in detail but it helped me so much understanding all the crap that happened in the past.
As I was writing Gakupo looked over my shoulder reading my essay. I know many hate that but I didn't mind as long as people kept quiet and Gakupo kept being silent till the end just to correct me at some parts I had to rewrite. Then he read the whole thing again. I was surprised I was already done. I thought I would be a mess today and not even able to hit one correct key. I was pretty sure it was impossible to get anything done…but here I am having Gakupo reading my finished essay. It was so different from what I expected. His presence was calming and I relaxed as his deep voice was explaining things. It felt nice and safe. Like yesterday when we sat outside of the Arcade. Suddenly all the worries from my morning were forgotten. I just want to stay like this a little longer…in this crowded loud starbucks cafe with a perfect view to the shibuya crossing rhythmically filling and emptying with either cars or people.
It was a lot nicer to work with him that I thought. He understood easily and seemed to need a connection for some loose ends of knowledge. I already offered him a few recommendations for this. I will send him everything later because he took the offer thankfully.
The essay he wrote was really good. My Professor would love this. „You have a nice writing style." I said after finishing. His wording was really nice. His choice of words was pretty advanced but due to being 'encaged' by his father he had little to do but read book over book. It paid off.
„You think so?" „Yeah, the professor will love it." I pushed the old laptop back. You could see it survived a lot of things. I didn't mind though.
„I hope so." He saved the file again after I signed him that it was perfect. Time to pack up at least a bit. „What do you want to study?" Soon entrance exam are starting. He should have applied already. „Uhm…Music and Literature." I took a sip of my new coffee. I got it while he was writing. „Really? Interesting." Those fields do complement each other as well. „What do you want to do with them?" He knew I wanted to work at a publishing company. „I…think about…becoming a teacher." He said shyly. „A Teacher?" I said in surprise. „Yeah, just…maybe I'm still not sure…." „No, I can see that. You would make a great teacher." I am honest here. He would. He was helping out Rin and Len a lot in exam season and had to help out Miku daily. He was good at explaining and was calm and patient. I can definitely see him as a teacher.
„You think so?" As High schooler you just always question your future plans. Future is getting close. „The way you are you are perfect for the job." He flushed and looked at his venti coffee cup. „Thanks….that…means a lot to me." He still is a little shy but I think his confidence was slowly building up since he moved. It was nice to watch. „What will Miku do?" I asked to kind of get away from the heavy mood. My heart is beating a little too fast for me just sitting around. „She wants to be a game designer." „A game designer?! Huh, is she that good at math?" I was surprised. „Yeah, she is the reason I won't fail." „So she is teaching you?" Can't imagine that… „No, but her notes do." I laughed. „Her notes? Are her notes that great?" I was a little amused about that. „She is very systematic. Her notes are better than our books in science classes." „Oh and that's why she sucked at reports?" Kaito laughed. „Yeah, basically." I snickered with him and just freely took one of the books I was interested in since the beginning.
„Where did you get that?" He looked at it and tried to remember. „I think it was recommended online." „Huh, can you lend it to me for a while?" It was on my additional recommendations list. I didn't want to get it but I also was interested. „If you don't mind my notes, sure." He said and packed up all his other materials. „No I-" I stopped. I just randomly opened a page and instantly was hit with an amazing side note saying 'that's stupid shit, no repeating' to a big part of that pages text. I snorted. Kaito looked confused as I had to read the text that was so stupid. „Your right, that's pretty stupid." I said snickering and I could see his eyes widen with memories until he blushed up to his ears and neck. „That's…I'm…I'm so sorry. I completely forgot about those outrageous comments. I will…I will remove them. Please give it back." He was so ashamed I don't even know why. He was right and humans did some pretty stupid shit in our past. „No, I will keep it. I really want to know your opinion and I think these 'outrageous comments' are quite entertaining." He still looked so embarrassed and shy again. I wanted to kiss him…I didn't. It was too early to make a move like that. First I need to make sure how he rolls.
