Chapter 4:

Genma POV:

"Hey Genma can I talk to you?" Raidou asked after class ended stopping me as I was packing up my bag. Watching Izumo leave first after everyone was gone, I turned and waited for Raidou giving him my attention. "I really want to get to know you. I'm not sure why but I really do so are you busy tomorrow?". Thinking about my schedule I shook my head and said "N-no, I have no classes but I have to work tomorrow morning until noon" annoyed that I stuttered. Smiling, Raidou said "That's fine. I wanted to know if you're okay with going to get lunch since you get off at noon" grabbing his backpack as he got up. "S-sure, I don't mind at all" I replied stuttering as I pulled my phone from my jacket pocket checking it. Then Raidou took my phone and started doing something. "Hey! Give me my phone back" I said reaching to grab it from Raidou who moved out of the way with ease. 'Damn soccer players' I thought again trying to get my phone. Raidou again dodged me and I was annoyed. Feeling my glare on him, Raidou looked at me and finished whatever he was doing then gave it back with a smile. "What?" I said looking at him strangely. "Nothing. I got you to talk without stuttering just now" he said causing me to realize that I didn't stutter. I blushed and walked away giving a small "see you tomorrow" over my shoulder as he chuckled after saying "bye Gen".

Izumo POV:

"Where is Genma?" Kotetsu asked me when I made it to our usual spot for lunch. I answered when Iruka and Kakashi gave me a curious look as well. "He was talking with Raidou when I left" I said checking my phone when it beeped seeing it was a text from Genma.

Genma: Are y'all at the usual spot?

Me: Yeah. Everything okay with Raidou?

Genma: Yeah… it's fine. He just wanted to meet up tomorrow.

Don't tell Ko, he won't shut up about it

Me: Okay lol.

Putting my bag down, I sat on the ground next to Kakashi. He looked at me and said, "You know something" and I smirked. Iruka looked confused and opened his mouth to speak when Kotetsu waved behind me causing all of us to turn and see Genma. As he sat down and began talking I thought 'Raidou, I really hope you know what you're getting into'.

Genma POV:

When we were done eating, we talked some more and made jokes. "What time are you working tomorrow?" I asked Kakashi. "I go to work at 7:00am and I leave at 10:00. Don't you work until noon since you come in at 9?" he replied. I nodded and said "Y-yeah, I was just asking" a bit nervously as I fidgeted. Kakashi gave me an I don't believe you look and silently said 'We are talking after this' causing me to sigh. We talked for a while more when Kotetsu said he had to leave for class. He kissed Izumo on the forehead and told the rest of us that he would see us later. We all said bye and waited until he was out of earshot before everyone turned towards me. "Genma. What's going on?" Kakashi asked me. "Nothing" I said causing Kakashi, Izumo and even Iruka to roll their eyes. "Yeah sure, just spill it. I know Raidou held you back to talk to you" Izumo said. "Fine. Raidou said he wanted to get to know me though he doesn't know why so he asked if I was busy tomorrow" I said. "And?" Kakashi said questioningly. I shrugged and Izumo pushed me into Iruka who caught me and said, "What did you say is what he means Gen". Rolling my eyes, I laid down on Iruka's lap closing my eyes relaxing as he played with my hair. "Genma!" Izumo said impatiently. Still laying on Iruka I said "I told him no but that I had to work. He said that was fine and that we should get lunch and I said sure" explaining. Kakashi and Izumo nodded. Checking the time, they saw they had to go and left, leaving me and Iruka. "So, he asked you out?" Iruka asked curious. "No, well I don't know. What do you think?" I said opening my eyes looking up at him. Taking my cap off my head causing my bangs to fall in my face as he put it on said "Maybe it is a date but I am not sure. How does he act around you?". Shrugging I said "He seems normal but I didn't say this earlier but after I said yeah to lunch I pulled out my phone and he took it and wouldn't give it back. He dodged me every time I tried to get it. He eventually gave it back and then" cutting myself off as I thought about it making me blush lightly. Giggling Iruka said "Then what? Genma you're red". Ignoring him I said "He said he got me to talk without stuttering. After that I left and he called me Gen as he said bye. You know only you and Kakashi can get away with it. But when he said it, it felt different". "Gen, I think you like Raidou. You may think that you don't but I think you do and Izumo has probably said the same I assume?" Iruka said giving me my cap back. I nodded and he smiled poking me until I moved to lay on the ground and he laid next to me. Then he said, "Give me your phone". Confused I gave him my phone. He took it and asked if my password was the same. I nodded and he continued doing whatever on my phone. Looking up, I watched the clouds as they moved across the sky. "Gen, I think I know what he was doing with your phone" Iruka said passing me my phone. Looking at it, I saw that Iruka was on my texts. There was one from a number I didn't know.

Hey, can't wait for tomorrow!

RN

After reading the message I without a doubt knew who it was and I felt my face heat up as I muttered "that attractive dumbass" making Iruka laugh as we got up to head to our last class. "Come on Gen, I know you can't wait for tomorrow either" Iruka said laughing as I pushed him inside the building on our way to class.
