Dom: Okay I know I said at least everyday or every other day, but I had an English quiz yesterday and I had to study for that last Sunday and then I thought about updating last night but I had quizzes on all three subjects today so I studied first. It was way too late to write a chapter and think of a plot by the time I was done… Another reason is that this upcoming character is a bitch to write. I mean it would be my first time writing him and I haven't read any stories of him yet so this will be hard for me so yeahhh.

"Um, Mayuzumi-sempai?" Kagome asked the third year.

The grey-haired teen slowly looked up from his novel. His eyes were slightly wide as his dark eyes met with bright blue ones. His usually blank gaze held a shimmer of emotion. Shock, perhaps.

"A-Am I bothering you?" the younger girl asked meekly as she shifted her weight from one foot to another.

"Uh, no," Mayuzumi shook his head and then asked. "Can I help you…?"

"Kagome. Higurashi Kagome," Kagome offered a hand which he reluctantly accepted.

"And how do you know my name exactly?" the older teen arched a brow.

Kagome blushed prettily as she scratched the nape of her neck, "I asked around…"

"Why?"

"No reason!"

"Uh-huh," the other wasn't convinced. "Well, can I help you with something?"

Blood once again rushed to her cheeks. Averting her gaze, Kagome answered, "W-Well, I was going to ask if—if I can join you for lunch. If you would like to I mean!" she rushed out.

Mayuzumi was shocked, but it was gone the next second, "Uh, sure. You're welcome to," he gestured for her to sit down.

Kagome brightened before sitting across of him on the rooftop.

Silence.

"Do you eat here everyday?" Kagome decided to start the conversation knowing the other wouldn't.

Usually, Mayuzumi would be annoyed if someone started talking to him, but this time, he wasn't. Or maybe it's because someone who he actually likes.

He nodded, "Yeah. The cafeteria is too noisy."

Kagome nodded in agreement, "I understand. It can be troublesome." Glancing down on her bento, her brows furrowed. She made too much. "Would you like some? I packed too much. I can't finish it all."

The male turned to the boxed lunch and looked at her seemingly asking if its really okay.

Ushering him, Kagome held out the bento closer to him, "I'd be mad if you don't."

Letting out a small smirk, he took the offered food before doing the same.

"Are you sure?" It was Kagome's turn to be skeptical.

"I'd be insulted."

Kagome laughed before taking some of his food.

Their lunch consisted of small talk and Mayuzumi found Kagome's expressions to be adorable even while eating. The way she covers her mouth when she laughs and her mouth is full; the only indication she's laughing is the crinkle in her eyes. Or the way she takes big bites even though she knows it won't fit in her mouth. She's just too cute for her own good.

As they were eating and talking, Mayuzumi noticed something.

He didn't realize that he got closer until Kagome stopped in mid-talking. Flushing, she asked, "S-Sempai?"

"You got something over here," he murmured as he wiped the bit of sauce in the corner of her lips.

The red hue on the ravenette's face got even darker.

Mayuzumi only seem to realize he got to her personal space when she turned her head away. Blushing slightly, he apologized, "G-Gomen." He pulled away, but he was still close to her person.

"It's alright," Kagome muttered softly, still blushing. She looked down on her bento as she tucked a stray ebony strand behind her ears. She continued eating, but it was obvious she was still affected with the way she eats.

Mayuzumi smirked a bit then leaned back. It's cute that she gets all flustered easily. Then again, she was the first girl who managed to make him blush, he admits begrudgingly.

Still, it wouldn't be too bad if she's the person behind his blushing.

How cute she acts when she eats.

Dom: Well that was longer than I thought it would be. I hoped I didn't do bad on his characterization… Anyway, thank you! Hope you enjoyed!
