The incident is has been infesting my mind for the past two weeks now. My last high school year is drawing to an end very very soon, and I should be focussing on final exams and getting as far a way from these people as possible... BUT I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT HIRATSUKA-SENSEI!

More often, recently, she has called me to her office after school with "things" to help her with. In actuality I end up just sitting there with her usually just talking and such. Hiratsuka-sensei definitely was much sweeter during those times. Not the stern, iron fisted, terrifying instructor, that she was in the classroom. No, she was much softer. At least...around me, it was kinda strange...though...I can't say I didn't feel similar when around her.

The whole situation with Sensei was strange to me, but the person acting up strangest at the moment was Yukinoshita-san. When we are alone in the club room a softer side of her has seemed to start revealing itself to me. One day she even sat next to me, rather than all the way across the table from me. Definitely something there, devious or not, like a submarine operating beneath the waves waiting for the perfect moment to strike and reveal itself. I can't help but feel a sense of conflict approaching on the horizon.


I lay in my back looking up at a now maroon cheeked Hiratsuka-sensei. I held her tie in one of my hands. If I was out it up against her face, it would blend right in. A slight smirk across my face, and an expression of shock across hers. This smirk was really only temporary though... The longer I stared into her eyes, the faster my smirk of confidence faded. I could feel my face heating up.

"Hiki..gaya...kun..."

"Hirat...suka..."

She stuttered, then recoiled back to a sitting position. I did the same thing.

Her hair came to rest gently around her, her lab coat crumpling down and acting as a floor mat.

She was hyperventilating, anymore and she would pass out.

"What have I just done? What have I just done?" she whispered over and over again.

"No matter how many times you say it, that won't change the fact."

"Why did you kiss me back?!" She demanded.

"Why did you kiss me in the first place?!" I returned. That remark caught her off guard.

"Well...I..uh...umm...I-I..I..couldn't control myself. I...I..well..you...umm-"

"So it seems to me that you are the move maker here."

"Oh? Who was the one said,'Nah, the guys you are with have terrible taste in women.' Who said that hmm?"

"Well, admittedly yes that was me-"

"You also had a thought to go with it didn't you?"

"Yes, so what if I did? It was because I realized how similar we were."

Was she referring to how I figured that if I'd been born ten years earlier, I'd have fallen in love with her in an instant?

"The underlying fact here is that you kissed me!"

She began loosening her tie, and unbuttoned the top two buttons of her shirt, revealing the soft appearing skin at the base of her neck. I was, for some reason, unable to avert my gaze.

"Geez, it's stuffy in here," she said,"Anyway, let's just pretend that never happened. Okay Hikigaya? I can safely assume we both don't want the knowledge of what just happened to get out of this room. Yes?"

"Yes."

Yes, it would ruin her teaching career and possibly livelihood, but more importantly it would destroy my public image and sink it even farther than where it already is!

"Good, it's settled...this incident never happened. I guess I'll be seeing you tomorrow."

She turned to walk out of the room.

What happened next, I had no control over.

I ran to her grabbed her neck tie from around her back and pulled, turning her to me.

"But why must we just end there?"

Oh geez, damn my subconscious thoughts and desires.

"H-Hikigaya? W-What are you doing?"

Admittedly I had noticed that I had some feelings directed at Sensei, deep inside. It was something small, and even I hadn't really took much notice to it, but it was there, and apparently it was stronger than I thought. I knew I should have addressed it properly one day! You see, the moment her lips sealed against mine, this whole fury of emotions and feelings and thoughts, and even desires flared up out of no where. Disgusting. And the result was the counter attack. I have lost control even over myself.

"Why just end there?"

I pulled on her tie closer.

"Stop! Let go of me!"

She yanked her tie free of my grasp and stumbled against the door. Surprising.

"Care to explain?"

She sighed. "Look...Hikigaya.. I must admit. I don't know what this is or why I'm feeling it...but whatever it is, it is forbidden and would end me, and you...but especially me!"

"Hmm. You are right I guess."

I was finally snapping out of it, this weird trance.

She grabbed both of my shoulders, then moved one hand to my cheek.

"However, Hikigaya... I am curious... A-And I have a feeling you are too..."

"Y-Yeah...I guess."

"This'll be our little secret, Hachiman."

She planted another kiss, sealing our lips briefly once again.

And just like that, I was pulled in again.

"Sensei."

"Hm? Yes Hachiman?"

She began unlocking the door.

"How would we deal with this? What do we call this? And how do we go about this?"

"I don't know... I don't know Hachiman..."

"Sensei...I feel something..I can't tell what it is... And I don't know what to do with-"

"Hachiman, neither do I...we'll go about this together."

What was going on. I'm confused. Yeah that's it! I'm just very confused right now. I just have to go home and read a good manga to set everything straight! Yes, that's it!

"After all Hikigaya... I feel something too."


"Hikigaya-kun?"

"Ah, Yukinoshita-san. What are you still doing here?"

"Stayed again to help Hiratsuka-sensei with things?"

I swear, there are times when my words enter one ear, bounce around a couple of times, then exit the other ear, when it comes to talking with Yukino-San.

"Ah? Oh. Yeah."

"I see..."

"Hmm."

"Hikigaya-kun?"

"Yes?"

"You haven't been showing up recently. To club."

"Obviously it's because I'm busy."

"Would it be out of my personality?"

"What?"

"To say I miss you?"

What was this going on?

"Who are you and what have you done with Yukino Yukinoshita?"

"Hm," she smiled,"Yuigahama-san says she won't be able to come tomorrow."

"And? What does this have to do with-"

I felt her lips press against my cheek, her breath against my skin.

"Please come tomorrow, Hikigaya-kun."

Okay so, pretty rough chapter. There were times when I solve a "what do now" problem only to create another. Pretty rough, pretty OOC, but I have to set up the plot of conflict. I'm going to have some fun writing these next few chapters. Apologies for the extreme OOC, 8man is definitely the hardest character for me to portray. Hope you enjoyed. Until next time!
