The thorns that surround him
are softer than the ones protecting the rose bush
but there are those who judge him hastily
And therefore say otherwise

Zero smiled, a light blush spreading across his round cheeks. He folded the paper and put it into his folder before giving his attention to the person who gave him the poem:
his substitute English teacher Haruka.
'He must have noticed that the students here don't come close to me…' Zero mused to himself, 'and that I don't have a lot of friends…'
"Kiryu-kun?" His teacher's voice brought him to attention, "Are you alright?"
Zero's blush darkened and he shook his head.
Haruka smiled and returned to teaching the class, glaring slightly at those who murmured that Zero was getting "special treatment".
Of course, he was getting special treatment, but they were saying it in a…"non-polite" way.
The silverette chuckled and sighed, watching the cherry blossom petals float to the ground just outside of the window, thinking about how kind his substitute teacher was.

Haruka's note belongs to me-it was written in my own words.
You can think of this as a friendship or love thing…I don't mind Haruka paired up with Zero but it doesn't mean I really love the pairing. I prefer Haruka to be a father figure (in law) to Zero-or a friend. It's cute that way.
