Also, I thought about this story and was like, 杜aybe I should just have each chapter a different event the student council comes up with... Because that seems to be what's , what do you think? o wo

Chapter 15

Nowaki sat in Lit class, eagerly waiting for it to begin. His chin was set on his palm as he stared at the door. When the door finally opened, Nowaki was disappointed to see Miyagi walk in. Sighing, Nowaki let his ears droop slightly. Just then, the door opened again, revealing Hiroki as he walked in. Something was different about hi- ah! Nowaki's black tail waved happily when he saw the collar around his neck. Hiroki's eyes met Nowaki's, though, it was just for a second.

The older man's face seemed to redden slightly as he took his seat near Miyagi's desk. Nowaki tried to pay attention to the lesson being taught, but was failing do to Hiroki's adorableness. Hiroki was cute, even when he wasn't trying to be!

Lunch seemed to come quickly for the cat today. Nowaki made his way to the usual spot to find an extra member of the group there. Akihiko Usami sat next to Misaki on the grass, but was currently being pestered by Sumi. Nowaki sat at the picnic table with Tsumori and Shinobu. Akiawa sat behind Misaki, giggling happily.

"Have a student council meeting today?" Tsumori asked, biting into an apple.

"I believe so. Sorry," Nowaki responded, opening a milk carton.

"Kamijouuu!~ Why won't you tell me more about that little thing around your neck?" a familiar voice cooed.

"Shut up! I'm not telling you anything!" another voice snapped back.

Nowaki quickly looked around to spot Hiroki holding a stack of books while Miyagi followed.

"It must be special if you are wearing it!" Miyagi persisted.

"It's none of your damn business!"

"Ohhh, we are in a learning environment! You shouldn't yell such nasty words."

"Why you-!"

Just then, Nowaki ran up. "Hiro-san!"

Nowaki could see Hiroki tense... Apperently, Miyagi did as well.

"Ohhh, I think I see what is going on here~" Miyagi chuckled, nudging Hiroki's arm.

"You see nothing!" Hiroki barked.

"Miyagi," a stern voice said.

"A-ah, Shinobu! Well, I must go work now. Bye, Kamijou!~"

"Miyagi!" Shinobu yelled, following after the man.

Nowaki waited until the two were far away before speaking again.

"Is it too tight on you, Hiro-san?" Nowaki asked, looking over to the wolf.

"It's fine," Hiroki responded with a grumble and a blush.

Nowaki's lips tugged upward.

"Oh, good. Is the color alright?"

"I think he would have preferred a darker color," a voice stated.

Hiroki whipped around to see Akihiko approaching them with an unwilling Misaki.

"What are you doing?" Hiroki growled.

"Well, that Sumi kid wouldn't stop pestering me, so I left," Akihiko replied.

"You didn't have to take me with you!" Misaki yelled, struggling to get away from the rabbit.

"Of course I did. If I left you, Haruhiko would have invited himself over."

"Like you?"

"I'm different."

"How so?"

Nowaki chuckled at the rabbit and bear. He stopped when he noticed Hiroki move from the corner of his eye. Nowaki turned his head and saw that Hiroki was leaving. Probably back to the class room...

"Hiro-san!" Nowaki called out as he caught up to the older man, "Hiro-san, let me help you carry those books."

"I can do it!" Hiroki barked back, walking faster.

The fast pace didn't help, though. Hiroki only ended up tripping... Though, he didn't make impact with the ground. Hiroki's ears perked up slightly.

"You should be more careful, Hiro-san," Nowaki muttered, his arms wrapped around Hiroki.

Hiroki blushed and pulled himself away from Nowaki. Grumbling to himself, he started to pick up the books that had fallen.

"My, you're such a klutz, Kamijou-san," a voice teased.

Nowaki could see Hiroki tense before looking up.

"Shinoda..." Hiroki mumbled.

DERP. Sorry for the lame, short chapter. I just really wanted to update this fic. ; v; Also, could someone tell me more about Shinoda? I know he was one of Hiroki's past sex buddies, or something. I don't even know. A

Also, this might just be me, but everytime I go to upload a chapter in Doc Manager, it always deletes punctuation/quotation marks. Dafuk?
