Impossible Love Chapter 3: Aeon's Quirks 24/7/09 Morning
"Good morning! Please wake up." Minako awoke, rubbing her eyes tiredly, curious as to why a familiar male voice was calling her to wake up. She opened her eyes and was shocked to see Aeon standing right in front of her. " Mission accomplished." She was almost about to let loose a string of curses but held the intention back in as it wouldn't be good if Aeon learnt all those words. " Umm... Aeon, what are doing here?"
" The paper on the wall says, ' Do things five minutes early'. Therefore, I woke you up five imuntes prior to the triggering of the alarm clock." At that, Minako inwardly sighed at what a paper that she pasted to help her in finishing her daily task earlier has gotten her into. Then suddenly there were a series of knocks on her door. " Hey Minako. Aeon disappeared and none of us can find him. Takeba was afraid that he might have gone off like how he did in Yakushima. Could you help us find him?"
Then, Aeon replied. "There will be no need for that. I am here." In shock, Akihiko opened the door, not expecting to see Aeon standing there. " Wh-what are you doing here?! No guys are supposedly allowed on the 3rd floor! How did you even get inside the room?!" "She was asleep, so I unlocked the door. And since the paper said to do things 5 minutes early, I woke her up 5 minutes prior to the triggering of her alarm clock."
Akihiko inwardly groaned. " Aeon, you can't do that. You have to respect others' privacy..." But Aeon did not seem to care about that and instead brought up another matter. " I propose to be on standby in this room from now. Is this acceptable?" Akihiko facepalmed and sighed heavily. "Aeon... That's not acceptable..." "If there is a problem, I shall address it promptly, but I don't see any problems. Besides, I can protect her if anything happens." "It's...uhhh against dorm regulations. Right, Minako?"
Minako instead smiled and said, " It's fine, you can stay here!" "M-Minako! Don't say that! You do know that he can't stay here!" Aeon seemed to ignore Akihiko's comment and instead went out of the room saying, " Alright, I shall retrieve my ammo." "Wait, what?! A-Ammo? Aeon! Come back here!" Akihiko slammed his fist against the door, groaning. He then turned towards Minako, who was still under covers, " I shall consult Mitsuru about this. Damn this, I still have training today and I'm running late..." Without another word, Akihiko took off muttering in annoyance and left Minako under covers wondering what the hell just happened.
02/9/09 Morning
"Class, we have a new student who will be joining us. He just transfered here. Thank you Sanada-san for bringing him around on his first day of school. ...Please, introduce yourself." Akihiko nodded slightly in acknowledgement while leaning on the wall near the door. The whole class, especially the girls were nosily buzzing. It was no wonder after all, since Akihiko, already well-known and crazed about by many girls was here with a new handsome transfer student. It was only normal for the girls in the class to go swooning over the two handsome eye candies.
" My name is Aeon. It is a pleasure to meet you all." The girls become even more noisy after Aeon's brief but enchanting introduction. "Aeon... What a strange name... I wonder if he was born overseas." The four of them flinched ever so slightly, just hoping that Ms. Toriumi didn't find anything weird about Aeon. Ms. Toriumi began looking through Aeon's portfolio. "Let's see... Anything else I should know...? Hm? ...Humanoid tactical weapon? What on earth...? "
The four of them looked at each other with expressions of fear and panic, praying that nothing would go wrong. "... Clearly that's a mistake. It just goes to show, you can't believe everything you read." The four of them then sweatdropped and let out a breath of relief. They all thanked the gods that she just brushed it off. At least they wouldn't have to get executed for accidentally spilling the beans. " Y-You can say that again, Teach!" Junpei covered it up.
" You can sit... right over there, in that empty seat." Ms. Toriumi pointed to the seat right beside Minako and diagonally behind Junpei. " Uh, Ms. Toriumi, that spot's already taken. He's just playing hookey. " Junpei reminded. " ...Which means he's not here. So, it's free to be used, right?" Junpei decided that he would shut his mouth before it would get him into any more trouble.
Aeon then walked over to the empty seat and sat down. " This spot will be perfect... Because I wish to always be by her side. " As he said the last sentence, he turned towards Minako. Everyone's eyes suddenly widened in shock at Aeon such a thing in front of everyone. Then Junpei stood up and Akihiko went over to his table. "Aeon!" They both caused even more eyebrows to shoot up and eyes to grow bigger. " Is there a problem?" He tilted his head, looking at both of them. "...Umm, Junpei, why are you standing up?"
It was then that the both of them realized what they have done and how it must have looked like to the others. Akihiko suddenly turned red and Junpei was at a loss for words. Both just stood there awkwardly like deers in the headlights, not knowing what to do. Minako then realized having this happen because of her has caused all the girls in class to glare at her with pure hatred in their eyes. She then facepalmed and groaned inwardly at what all this had gotten her into. She swore that she would make those three make up for this incident.
"My, aren't we just full of drama today? Do me a favor and save the antics for after school." Minako let loose a string of curses under her breath as quietly as she could. Akihiko quickly left after that in embarrassment, trying to hide his red face. "Minako-san, what was that? " Minako just answered with a "nothing" and looked in front and tried to concentrate in class to the best of her abilities. Yet was another bad day and Minako sighed, looking at the words on the whiteboard.
