Disclaimer: First Chapter
Story Start!
Class was boring.
Well, so was the newspaper club when he didn't actually do anything while the others worked. Still, Naruto would have been bored with class regardless of his personal boredom. There were two students who were always missing from class every day, for starters there was the girl who sat behind Naruto... she showed up for school on the first day, and hasn't shown up for class since. Then, there was the bully that he kicked in the nuts, who just didn't show up for class anymore after his ass kicking and humiliation.
'Maybe I should kick his ass again for fun.' Naruto wondered if that would be fun.
-After Class-
"Stay away!"
"... Nope... guess I might as well investigate the girl then." Naruto didn't have much to do during club time, so he might as well go and see if this girl had a story for him. He could tell Moka or Kurumu about it. Naruto watched the bully run away from him at top speed, but he didn't have the motivation to chase somebody who was too afraid to fight him back.
He wasn't a bully, he was a prankster, there was a difference.
-At the Girl's Dorm-
Naruto knocked on the door.
The door opened slightly, and a very pretty girl opened her door. Naruto got a cool breeze from her cracked door, which implied she had her AC on full blast in her room. She was in her pajamas, because she hadn't expected anyone to come and see her. A traditional kimono that was cut off at the thighs, very long and super messy light purple hair, and aurora blue eyes.
"... Can I help you?"
"Mizore... sup, I'm Naruto. Mind if I come in, I just want to talk for a bit." Naruto saw her close her door a little more. She retreated a bit, but she did not shut him out all the way.
"Why?"
"Well, you haven't come to class, so I just curious."
"I'm not interested."
"Oh, I'm not trying to get you to go to class. Skip it all you want, I skip sometimes too. I'm just interested in you, that's it." Naruto wanted to talk to the girl who only ever showed up for one class and then called it quits. He wondered if she was a human like him and Tsukune, but seeing her up close there was no way she was human. Her eyes were just too enchanting to be the eyes of a human.
She opened her door a bit more.
"... You just want to get to know me... that's it." Mizore didn't believe him, he could read it on her face.
"Yep, that's it. Tell you what, if I can make you smile... I can come in and talk with you. A little friendly competition between us... I make you smile, you talk with me." Naruto offered her with a grin.
He was having a little fun.
Getting an antisocial girl to smile sounded like a fun challenge, and the more she pushed him away, the more he wanted to talk to her. Mizore opened the door more, and she didn't seem amused, but she did seem interested in his challenge.
"Okay." Mizore opened the door all the way, and Naruto felt the coldness of her room hit him.
Naruto made a show of the shiver.
"Baby, it's cold inside." Naruto sang to her, and Mizore was very confused as Naruto tapped his foot.
"Okay, if that is it, you can go away."
"But baby, it's cold inside." Naruto sang, and Mizore was more confused at first, but the song struck a small note with her. She felt like she should know the song from somewhere.
"This will make me smile?"
"Baby, I would walk a mile." Naruto continued to sing.
"That's nice, but..." Mizore gained some color when he grabbed her hands, and she felt how warm they were.
"I'll hold your hands. They're just like ice!" Naruto didn't miss a beat when Mizore tried to turn him away, and Naruto slowly pulled her further out of her room. He spun her around on the heel of her foot and moved so that he was standing where she had been standing.
"This is your attempt?" Mizore asked.
She was resisting the urge, because with that line, she knew what he was doing. She felt her cheeks struggling to stay relax, because she knew the song. She looked at him and raised an eyebrow, since this time she didn't give him ammo.
"Lovely, don't hold me in contempt."
Mizore lost it and smiled a little when he managed to rhyme with her anyway. She just smiled a little, but Naruto grinned at her and she knew she lost. She lost her smile a moment later, but walked back into her room. Naruto was already in her room, so she closed the door behind him. He stopped singing and trying to make her smile and followed her into her room.
"Okay, I'll admit, that was goofy, but fun... do you want some cold tea?" Mizore asked him. "... and what do you want to talk about... why I haven't been coming to school?" Mizore questioned him instead of the other way around. Naruto sat down on the floor and relaxed, his breath was visible in her room, but he tried to not let it bother him.
"Nope, not interested in that. I skip school too sometimes. So, Mizore... is it boring staying in here all day?" Naruto asked her that instead.
She nodded.
"It is."
"I figured, do you do anything to amuse yourself... honestly, recently I've been in a funk. Nothing has been able to amuse me much, so I feel that. Do you have any hobbies?" Naruto asked her with a rolling wave of his hand.
"Oh... no, I really don't... it is kind... kind of lonely." Mizore shifted around in discomfort. She looked at Naruto, and saw that he seemed extremely interested in her. "What about you... you must be pretty bored to want to hang out with a boring... lonely... gloomy girl like me." Mizore made that hurtful statement.
"Yep."
"You didn't deny it." Mizore on the other hand completely deadpanned when he didn't deny her at all.
"My hobbies are gardening, but I haven't been able to get started on campus. Considering how cold you keep your room, maybe that won't be a good hobby for you... oh... I've got it. If you're bored... how about I get a boardgame from the school store, and whenever I get the chance, I'll come and play with you?" Naruto asked for her permission on this. He was going to get the game anyway.
She sat on the floor with him and leaned forward.
"Why?"
"On a whim. I don't need a reason to try and make a friend, and I don't need a reason to play a game with somebody who needs a friend." Naruto took his wallet out of his pocket, and he took out 3 coins from it. "I don't need a reason to do what I want to do... I wanted to come and see you, so I abandoned my club for the day to visit you." Naruto passed one of the coins to her hand. "I'll toss this coin... and... it landed on your pillow. Whoever can flick the coin closer to the coin on your pillow wins." Naruto told her.
"What do I get if I win?"
"Name what you want... if I win... lets say that... ah... you'll buy me a soda from the school store." Naruto watched her nod and flick her coin. It landed inches away from the coin on her pillow. She looked at him and nodded. Naruto flicked the coin, and it hit the coin, before it bounced and hit the wall behind her bed. Finally it landed perfectly on top of the coin, leaving her a little impressed.
Naruto gathered up the coins and gave them to her.
"For my soda... surprise me."
-20 Minutes Later-
*Speeeeeeew*
Mizore had shaken the can up the entire way she walked back to her room, and she was gifted the side of half of the can spraying right in her face. She saw he didn't even react or attempt to dodge it. She also super cooled it down.
*Slurp*
"Ah... it's flat now. AH... I hate flat soda. Oh well..." Naruto drank the rest of the can, crushed it against his head, before tossing it in her trash. "... I'm going to go see my club after getting changed. Want to do this again?" Naruto asked Mizore as he stood up and flicked some of the soda in his face on her.
She flinched at the sprinkles of soda hitting her.
"... Again... sure." Mizore was a little stunned.
He wasn't even a little angry at her, he was more angry at the flat soda.
-At the Club-
"FLAT FUCKING SODA!"
"Wow... why is your luck with soda so bad?" Moka asked Naruto with surprise when he threw a can of soda into the trash when it was flat. "Where have you been, we're almost done for the day?" Moka asked when she realized that Naruto had been missing from club activities.
He didn't do anything, but usually he was at least in the room.
"Oh, I just tried making a new friend... I think it worked I'm going to visit again tomorrow or some other day once I pick up a board game... real antisocial type." Naruto stated as he walked right out of the clubroom again.
He needed to find a boardgame to play.
