Shizuka POV
Hikigaya Hachiman. A newly ascended 2nd year a few weeks back. During class, he would keep to himself and never bother anybody while sometimes using his phone. From what I saw, I had pegged him as an introvert caged animal due to the way he would scan the class frequently while keeping his blind spots in check.
A few days ago, I had given my students work where they would write their thoughts on their high school year, granted I should have seen it coming that somebody would send me a super depressing viewpoint that almost made me lose my faith in humanity.
And that person is him; Hikigaya Hachiman.
…I really should have seen it coming.
As a punishment for inflicting that torture on me, I sent him to Yukino, mostly because she needed more member for her club with some parts that hope that she can help him fix his self.
…Was it the right choice to do so…? The amount of times that he acted differently afterwards… From being rude, acting like a playboy, then his normal self…
I already suspected that he had multiple personality disorder and with the… Recent information from him, I am more convinced that he has that and other mental disorders, more than I can imagine.
How do I know if what he said was true? Call it as a gut feeling. Hell, I trust my gut feeling even more than my logical side at this point. Although, I say that, while Hikigaya is more mature, in control of himself, and calm than everybody else in the class, he can't completely control his eyes. So, I -
"Hiratsuka-sensei!"
Huh? Is that Hikigaya?
Turning around, I see it is indeed him quickly walking towards the bench I'm on - I quickly discard the cigarette in my mouth and throw it away since I want to show a good example to my students - looking further, I see… Yukino? On top of him?
What?
"I need your help, Sensei! Yukinoshita-san fainted in the club room!"
"I… Did… Not…"
"Shut up Hero – Yukinoshita. Your face fucking fell on my dick."
…What the fuck, damn, shit, urgh! Trying to not curse! I give up!
What the fuck is going on?!
"…YOU –" She starts to violently cough, interrupting whenever she wanted to say (I'm guessing she was going to curse) at him while I proceed to take her off of his shoulder. Although, I actually had to use a bit more strength to pry her away from his hands.
Something to talk to him later.
"Explain everything from the beginning." I glance at him – right I still need to talk about him and his mental disorders - before focusing on Yukino, "And you, why did you come to school if you're sick?"
She firmly shakes her head in a slow manner, "I… Apologize… Sensei, I… Didn't expec –"
I cut her off since I don't want her to force herself to explain and I already got the gist of her situation, "You felt something off this morning, right? And you discarded that feeling since it was small." She doesn't say anything but that slight eye tremble already gave me the answer.
…Damn it, a point to Haruno.
With that thought flying away, I shift Yukino into a more comfortable position for her, "Hikigaya? Well?" I glare at him, due to the fact that he hasn't said anything, but blink as I see him with his eyes closed.
…Please don't tell me your mental illness is acting up again. Don't you dare have a repeat, you hear me?! We still haven't talked about your previous actions and how to treat them! I might not look like it but I'm still young enough to understand you!
…I feel someone laughin –
"Sorry, Sensei. My headache acted up again just now." With that, my focus is back on Hikigaya, who is now meeting my gaze, "I came into the clubroom, a little later than usual, traded barbs with Yukinoshita here, then I saw the state that she is in, so I came close to check up on her but she then fell on my crotch."
"Hikiga –" I feel Yukino's body tremble a bit with a low cough softly entering my ear, "I suggest… That you… Refr – refrain from –"
"I don't need to hear about your sexual adventures, Hikigaya. Tell me what happened next." I don't want to be reminded how I didn't even get laid, especially from people far younger than me! That bastard kept me at arm's reach whenever I wanted him!
THEN HE FUCKING LEFT ME!
"U-um… Sensei, are you –"
"Fine. Now, get on with it."
I see him slightly shiver, oops, accidentally leaked my intention to him again, "Ri-right… Then I picked her up in a piggyback style and I brought her to you."
…Hold on… Why does it sound like I was your immediate response, Hikigaya?
"…Why didn't you bring her to the nurse?" Hinata should still be in her office, right? Even though it's after school and she's not answering her phone but we still have clubs going on and out of everybody here, she should still be in her office, ready to patch up students… Since she understands students better than the others.
That's why she would let anybody who wanted to skip assembly to hang out in her office, no matter how obvious that they were lying, saying that she understands how boring it is.
"Ah… I forgot."
…Hikigaya… You… Never mind…
A long sigh escapes my mouth, "…I didn't take you for being forgetful, Hikigaya."
And a liar.
I don't know exactly why do you not want to meet Hinata… Or understand your reason… But…
Can't you at least use a better excuse…?
He keeps his face calm but I can see his… Index? Finger slightly twitching, "…Sometimes I forget, Sensei." I wait for him to say something more, like the other students before, yet he stays silent.
…How nice of you to not lie even more…
I nod at him then slowly lift Yukino, who has been quiet throughout our talking, although a quick glance to her tells me that she is most likely sleeping, "Ok… I'll take Yukino to the hospital now… Take care of yourself, Hikigaya."
I quickly walk away from him without giving him a chance to say anything, all the while being mindful of the Yukino in my hand… Although… Why…
Why am I hoping that Hikigaya will stop me…? To say that he's sorry…? To ask if he could follow…?
Of course, no one can answer that.
*IKLIKLIKL*
A/N
Urgh, physical uni life is brutal as hell. I would rather just do online classes and stay at home where I'm not being cooked alive during fasting month! Ahem, this chap is more on Shizuka's POV and hopefully, I managed to convey what I think she would say in this situation. Oh yeah, I'll try to write the chaps for my other stories since my brain is losing steam on this one. Anyway, on to the comments!
CrazyxEnigma - lmao yep. Also, you answered your question lol. And you mean she got offended when he actually did it
FirstWinterLight - just realizing it now, eh? Dating sims are legit horror games if you put in some... Exotic herbs in there lol
eightmanantartica242 - blame it on uni, I'm just getting too many assignments that I need to complete soon and that leaves me tired to write. Also, thank you
HaMCRI - happy ramadan to you too
CMY187 - the horror-ness of this story are really subtle, most of them anyway, and I treat my characters as real people instead of stick figures *cough* incompetent writers and readers *cough*, so I see it from a viewpoint that they are actually decent people
Dimiel - *awkward laugh* haha. Also, a sick Yukino does not compute well lol. *REDACTED*
RayRay - don't ya know? The main goal is conquering the Heroines (lol), aka romance them (lol), so, drama and tragedy don't really fit here (lol)
