It had turned out to be a wonderful school day for Hiro, he wasn't called upon for any of the anwsers and none of the kids around him asked him for them either. Not that he would have know the right answer for half of it anyway. And as a bonus he was able to sleep through three of the hours. However there were still three hours of school left. The boy next to him had slept most of the time and hadn't really looked his way besides from the first time he looked and winked. But that was a normal reaction, wasn't it? Most likely. He wasn't going to sit and think much about it anymore. It was then that his stomach growled loudly while his hand searched around in his bag from her lunch, only to come back with an old pencil case.

A carelessly slung hip, eyes lidded at half mast, a relaxed slant to the shoulders, and a lazy grin; hands absently loosening the tie or adjusting the cuffs of his shirt -- with all of this comes the collected confidence that Hiro seemed to exude. Suave, smooth, cool-tempered, and perhaps a bit smug, he is the sort of man who, went confronted with a taxing situation is more likely to lean his head, give a detached shrug, and roll with the punches. An unconcerned tone is characteristic of his voice, and his words are often punctuated with lackadaisical pauses or musing asides. It is this nearly seamless facade that Hiro wore like a paper mask all the day long: the image of a man secure in self-confidence, languid and careless in personality. He's a slick, though understated speaker, more apt to try and win people over than take them on, it would seem. With a taste for taking it easy and a non-confrontational attitude, he is a man who sits back and watches the puppets at play. Or so it would seem. In fact, this facade, while not entirely artificial, conceals a very different side of Hiro that lies just beneath the surface.

Beneath the languid demeanor lies a sly wit, and a hungry ambition. Clever, and perhaps with a manipulative streak, Hiro had spent his entire life with an overwhelming fixation on making a place for himself, or becoming "somebody." Because of this, he has trained himself to jump from goal to goal, always to be ambitious. Though it is his goal to become successful enough to "live easy," it has become a habit for him to always be working at something. But this cross roads in life had never crossed his mind, he had never thought to be in this situation. Fearing for someone other then himself while having to cover that fear with something cold, just like himself.

Upon walking down the halls, Hiro seen a blur of motion that made him step quickly forward, his hand grabbing lightly onto the elbow of the retreater. "Running from me?" He smiled, teasing her lightly as he let go of her arm, dropping his own to stare at her for a moment, taking in her retreat from me. "About this morning..The question you asked me...I'd like to go with you." He said finally, a little pink blush darkened his cheeks and nose before his hand covered his mouth. As if he were trying to hide from his embrassessment. "Well...I'll see you around.." He said after a second of silence, his feet moving away from her in a little more then a hurry.

Feeling her feet scuff the walking oath of the school, as Hiro and Nao were both walking side by side. Pulling her hands down next to her side's, as she looked over towards Arima, and Yui. They looked like a great couple, by why would they ever think about going out, it seemed weird for them both. Turning her head back up towards Hiro, Nao wanted to feel more towards him, than just her shy part. She seemed that she wasn't getting through to him, and he thought that she was very bored of her already. Although, ever since Hiro and Nao kissed that day, both of them have been shy towards each other. But Nao wants to change for him, she wants to talk more to him, so that he wouldn't be talking to himself half of the time. (I Come on, Nao. Just start talking, very bluntly. You can never let yourself loose to Hiro. Although he is very popular.)

Shaking her head a little bit, she then looked up and over at Hiro, with a bright smile. She wanted to change on how she acted, but not how she looked. But Yui did get the totally different idea on Nao, since both Arima and Yui were peeking on them. Blinking her eyes lightly, she then looked down at where she was placing her feet, before she started to speak to Hiro. Nao's voice was very eloquent, and sweet, Like an angel. "I-I am doing very fine today, Hiro. I was actually thinking about the tests, at the end of the school year. Until ... something unexpected had happened." Nao told Hiro, referring towards Yui, when she was tackled, and then groped by her friend. Turing her attention back over towards the school doors, that they were walking up to, school didn't start for another ten minutes, and Nao didn't want to spend their time .. partly-alone, without talking. Bitting down on her lower lip, she really didn't know what to talk, nor think about anything.

Stepping along with Hiro, as his voice was fluent, and he was speaking the words he wanted to say. Nao looked up at him, with her sparkling eyes, as she pulled her skirt down in the back. Since it was a bit windy out in the morning, including during the fall. Feeling her hair blew behind her shoulders, Nao giggled softly. Nobody really actually got to hear her voice often, but she wanted Hiro to hear her well, and clear. It mean't the world to her, even if Hiro through she was a little weird, but she really did like Hiro. Words could not express her feelings for him, but then again it was another boring story. A boring story, that in which the popular boy kisses the un-cool girl, and then they date. But this story wasn't taking the short cut's, they were taking the turns, that took for ever to pass. Looking over at the school's doors, as Nao let her voice speak once more. "Ehh, no not really. I was thinking that maybe Yui wanted to go to the Fall Festival. But it seems like she already has plans with Arima, unfortunately, I was going to go by myself. Although my mother would like for me to wear my Fall kimono. Although, it does feel embarrassing wearing such something like that. But ... I was wondering. W-Would you like to go with me to the, Fall Festival, Hiro?"

Blinking her eyes and looking up at him, Nao smiled once more. Only to hearing Yui and Arima take off, since school was just about to start. Bitting down on her bottom lip, Nao then looked back over at Hiro. "If you would like to, then please text me." She told him, smiling once more, as she started to run towards the twin doors, that were opened. Letting her shoes shuffle against the groung, some-what, Nao started to run, in towards the two twined school doors. Moving her hair from her face, as she started to run through the halls, because Nao didn't want to be late for her class, the first time. As Nao was turning the corner, she closed her eyes, not seeing who was in front of her. Feeling some hit her body, as she went to grab onto something, unfortunately she grabbed on the male. Pulling down on his tie, as he came down with a soft thud on top of her. Blinking a few times, as Nao let her arms land on the floor, with another soft thud. "S-sorry. I didn't mean to .. ARIMA?!" Blinking as Arima was looking down at her with a soft chuckle.

Blushing a little bit, as Nao ut her head down against the floor, she sighed a little bit. "P-Please get off of me, Arima. I must go to class.." Nao spoke up, but Arima didn't get off of her. Although; He did give her a little kiss on the cheek for something, in which Nao was still blushing. Looking over and up at Arima, as he was getting up, he then held his hand out for her to grab. Getting up off the floor Nao then patted her skirt gently, making sure the dirt was off of her uniform. "T-Thanks .. Arima." pulling herself away from Arima, as she then felt something warm against her waist, as Nao blinked a few times. "Nao, don't you want to hang out, and talk a little bit. We could talk about .." Just as Arima was about to pull her closer, Nao suddenly took in for a dash, so that she could get into her classroom.


After all six classes were over for the entire day, Nao didn't feel like she could take another word for another teacher, ever again. Although, she did want to hear Hiro's voice once again, because she was almost in love with him. But she could only like Hiro, for some of her reason's. Pulling herself out of her last class, Nao sighed a little, watching as the halls were filled with the school's uniforms, with student's. Blinking her eyes a little bit, as Nao noticed Arima and Yui talking to each other, at the other end of the hall. Pulling herself through the figures of people, she didn't wanted to be seen by Arima. Since the little incident that had happened in the morning, although Arima never apologized. But Nao through that it was good enough, even though she didn't want him to kiss her on the cheek. Looking around for Hiro, although she noticed he was with a few people, and some girls. One of the girls were hanging over on him, and she looked like she was flirting with him. Blinking her eyes a little bit, as Nao sighed softly. Looking over towards the door, as she was just about to exit the twin doors. Although someone caught her wrist, and pulled her back towards the almost empty hall-way. Blinking a little bit, as she had looked at the person who pulled her back in the school. "H-Hiro? W-What are you doing? I thought you were talking to your friends, over there?" she asked, pointing towards the people that were looking over at them. Bitting down on her bottom lip, Nao then smiled softly. "Ooh. Did you answer my question from this morning, yet?" She asked.

Hiro listened to the silence hanging in his bedroom, his face buried in his pillow, his bare back exposed to the cold air flowing into his room from the open windows surrounding him. The boy's eyes searched the darkness that surrounded his face before he shut his eyes tightly, nearly screaming into his pillow. The flow of freezing cold air that danced across the boy's pale skin made goosebumps rise, a shiver running down his spine like a bullet had just grazed the skin of his back. Turning over for a gasp of fresh air, Hiro peeled his eyes open and pulled his comforter over his chest, studying the ceiling with tired eyes. Hiro had been spending his days isolated from most people, his mind swimming in thoughts that involved nothing at all and yet everything there was. It was times like these that he wished that he could call upon Nao, but he would always stop himself as soon as his finger hoovered over the green call button. Waking her wouldn't make the activity in his mind go away. No, it would only make to work towards other male thoughts, that he would skip over in detail for they were quite embrassing at times. So when he found himself awake like this, he merely laid there until he fell back asleep.

The sound of a loud buzz echoed throughout an apartment on the second floor of a brownstone apartment building, the tenant of the apartment groaning rather loudly. A head of bright blonde hair peeked out from beneath a quilt-styled blanket, a form shifting and moving from beneath it's surface. There was another groan as the buzzing droned on, the blanket moving down to reveal more blonde hair, and the start of smooth, light skin. The blanket moved down rather slowly, the more it moved, the more skin and body parts it revealed. "Hush" A soft voice came as the blanket passed a pair of soft lips. When nothing but more buzzing rang out through the bedroom, the form pulled the blanket off of it's body, sitting up ever so slowly.

Long, delicate fingers reached up to run through the long mess of straight, blonde hair, blue eyes tired, squinted from the light pouring in through the window. More silence. Upon getting up, the boy quickly scurried off to his bathroom where he went through his usual routine of making use of the toilet, washing his hands, hopping in the shower, brushing his teeth, shampooing and conditioning his hair, scrubbing his body, and then jumping out, drying his body, and picking out an outfit for the day. Which, seeing that it was a school day, was nothing less then his normal uniform. A small scowl appeared on his face when he looked at his reflection in the mirror, but wrote it off before straighting out his uniform and leaving her room, then walk down the stairs and out the door, the lock clicking softly as he took the steps two at a time. His parents were already gone, off to their jobs, nothing new there as well.

There was no expression on her pale face as the sunlight shone on him, plumes of dark hair cascading down his forehead and brushing annoyingly against his eyebrows, however he was too lazy to raise his hand to swipe it away. A slow carefree smile crossed over his lips as his eyes locked onto other student's that were making their way in the same direction as him. The carefree smile tugged the corners of his mouth in a more bright grin as he was waved over. His hand absent-mindedly went through his light blonde locks before wiping a limp curl out of his eyes. "Hey guys" She greeted merily while joining the group, the conversations stringing together as if they had been friends for the longest time and not together for more then just a few little hours. Hiro merely watched it with glass covered eyes, he had been in this situation before, but there wasn't any happy talk, just time passing talk.

Once he seen Nao he broke away from the group, but stopped himself from going to far when he seen the other girl tackle her. He had always disliked that girl, Yui, but would never say anything to Nao about it. If worse came to shove, Hiro would just say that he had to leave, or just leave without saying anything. Girls that touched others freely like that were disguisting to him, something that he would not vocal either. Telling other people about his dislikes only made him stand out and take the reputation that he had worked for into nothing. He liked this place in the school now and would not ruin it over someone as dumb as that.

When the two manly girls walked infront of him, Hiro fell back into walking next to Nao. It was odd to be trying to talk to someone that was so shy like she was. At times he just wanted to shake her into talk, into being a human rather then running off from him or making him talk all the time. A silent sigh escaped him before he pursed his lips slightly, wondering what it was that he should talk about this morning. "Good morning Nao. How are you feeling?" He asked, going with the easy questions, nothing other then that popping into his mind. His bright blue eyes looking off infront of them, passed the two misfits towards the open walkway. "Have anything planned for this week?" He asked giving her a rather wide smile, though it did quite touch his eyes. Yes, he liked Nao, but at times he wanted someone that would be able to speak with him normally rather then running to other people for help. Not that he knew that she did, but the feeling in his stomach told him that she did.

Two weeks ago, Nao made a very good discovery, finding out that she was now in high school with her crush. Hiro Usami. Nao has actually been in love with him, ever since she has set eyes on him, although she didn't know about him. But both Hiro and herself were starting to talk, but a few things would always get in the way of them talking .. Arima. Although, at least they were able to talk after school, since Hiro would always walk her home. Which was the best of each day, but it would even be better, if she had a chance with him. But at least she had new friends to talk to, although they would be all over him. It wouldn't hurt Nao, it would just let her out into think air, so that she wouldn't need to worry about it. But she wanted to know what Hiro was thinking. So that she could tall him everything she wanted to, and not be afraid of him. But both Arima and Yui get's in the way, only to pair them together. But Nao questions herself many things, that she may not know is true. Due to her critical condition, her mother and father won't let her do anything that think will be to high for her to handle. But Minori won't let them keep her away from Hiro.

Stepping down the steps of the stairs, as she had watched her father walk out of the kitchen. He was more of a child guy, always wanting to know about Nao, just like her mother. Although she was on her back, Twenty-Four-Seven. There is nothing that she could do, to spend time with Hiro, including when the band was playing, so she would have to lie, saying that she is going to study, since her time to be at home was Ten O'clock. It got annoying every-time, her mother would call her, but Nao wouldn't even pick up the phone. Turning herself around the corner, as she watched her mother sipping on her little cup of tea, since it was morning. Shaking her head softly, she then looked down at her school uniform, it fit her perfectly. "Momma. I am going to school.." she told her mother, as she just nodded. Blinking a few times, she then smiled gently, walking out of the house. Although her house had a gate, that would only open and close from inside the house, which kind of mad Nao mad. Since Hiro wouldn't get to come in her house, although that was if he would jump it. But he was such a gentlemen, that he wouldn't. Also, he never really dated a girl, nor kissed one. Arima told Nao about Hiro, ever since Arima wanted her to know.

As Nao pulled herself from the gate, looking over at her books, down in her hands. She knew that Hiro wouldn't possibly meet up with her in the mornings, but it was worth a try, to see if he would. She could never really get him out of her head, since she was kind of ... talking to two people at the moment. So that they would help her with the relationship, even though it is on the computer. She talks to two of them morning, and night, so that they would be able to give her advice. Although it is a blog that she does, and the two respond. Nao takes the advice, and once she gets back home, she talks about it in her blog. Her username is Oogisaki, and the other's are Black Rabbit and MegaPIG. It is very fun to talk to them. Because they are almost just like her, but she tends to stay quiet, so she is only recognized by her friends, and Hiro's friends. As well as him.

After getting to the school, Nao let her head droop, as she looked down at her shoes. "Yoshikawa!" Yui called out, as she shook her hand in the air, with a gleaming smile on her face, giggling. Looking up to see Yui in her path, as she suddenly felt her back hit the grassy ground. As she tried to take a breathe of air in, it just wiped out of her lungs, only to see Yui on top of her. Although, Yui had problems with ... girl's chests. Of course she was into males, but Yui just had weird ideas, about Nao. As Yui grabbed her chest, a slight blush ran against Nao's cheeks, freaking out once again, for the fourth time in this week. "Yoshikawa. You haven't grown a bit, you shouldn't sleep with a bra on.." Yui told her, as Nao looked up, only to see Hiro, and then looking over at Yui, blushing a deep one this time. "Yui get off me please.." Nao told her, as she then saw Arima step up behind Hiro, just looking at them. "But .... Yoshikawa." She said, finally getting off, as Nao just stood up, looking at Yui, her cheeks still red. Although Yui started to brush her friend off, giggling softly. "Sensei, and Arima liked the veiw." She told her, with a slight chuckle between her lips, as Nao turned around, very embarrassed, and it happened almost every morning. (I Terrible. Once again, both Hiro and Arima this time, why does Yui do that to me. Besides, I don't have a small chest..)

As Nao just started to think to herself in her head, she then turned around, letting a soft giggle slip her lips. Only a slight pink sowing on her cheeks, as she rubbed her arm. "H-Hello, Usami-Sensei." As Nao tried to make the conversation between herself, and Hiro work, Arima and Yui started to talk. Yui actually looked like a boy, because she sort of..acted and looked like one. She had almost the same hair, as Arima. Short, blond, and cute. But Yui had a slender body, than Arima, besides, she already kissed Nao on the lips. Thinking that Yui was a transvestite, but Yui proved her wrong. Now she has a little nickname for Nao ... Little Bunny. Looking back over at Hiro, waiting for him to speak, she smiled softly, as Yui and Arima made their little, master plan.

(I Great, another day of embarrassment.)
