Never, ever again will he get Teru to clean the pool with him.
What was that clueless girl thinking, decked out in the old-fashioned skin-tight school swimming costume that hugged her curves at places he held no insterest in? Even if she was physically unattractive, was it not common sense to not dress so carelessly before a male audience?
He kept his balance near the edge of the pool and raked the net through the waters to remove litter debris. Focus, he thought fervantly, unless you wish to fall into the pool like an idiot.
'KUROSAKI!'
That did it, the school janitor fell into the water in a graceless splash. When he re-emerged to the surface, he radiated a scornful glare at the cause of his misstep. Instead of being sympathetic towards his plight, the culprit laughed at the sight of Kurosaki waist-deep in the pool waters with a banana peel on his head.
'I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I wanted to enquire on your rare and hardworking behavior, but I may have sounded overtly enthusiastic. Here let me help you out,' Teru wiped the joyous tears from her eyes as she extended a hand to the drenched janitor.
Kurosaki smirked at her act of kindness, despite her cheeky manoeuvres she was genuinely kind at heart. And absolutely clueless. An opening!
With a splash, Teru joined Kurosaki in the pool and it was his turn to have the last laugh. The moment Teru recovered from the shock, she turned angrily on Kurosaki. 'You're mean! I really wanted to help you!' She pouted and crossed her arms across her chest, and Kurosaki's cheeks turned a light shade of red at the sight unveiled before him. Her white blouse was almost transparent in the water, and her crossed arms revealed the outline of her undergarments. Darn, he thought to himself meekly, who's the careless one here now?
'Let's get you out of here before you catch a cold, I still need my faithful servant to tend to my work should I fall sick from a mean prank that landed me in the pool waters.'
Teru bickered with him as they extracted themselves from the cold pool waters, the moment they reached deck, Kurosaki swept a dry over coat over Teru and his large warm hands lingered on her shoulders for a moment too long.
'Don't catch a cold, change out of your uniform quickly, alright?' Kurosaki smiled gently at a slightly blushing Teru.
Teru left for the changing room and Kurosaki slumped helplessly to the ground, exhausted from the restrain he held over himself. His cheeks were flushing red, and he was certain that he felt anything but cold.
