Role Playing Fan Fiction ❯ Always and Forever! ❯ Leave Me Be Harpy! ( Chapter 5 )

Hiroi put the necessities out in front of Mizuki.

 

“I'm afraid I only have raisin bran.”

 

“Huh?” Mizuki looked at the cereal and dumped it in his bowl, pouring the milk after. “Cereal is cereal.”

 

“My thought exactly.” Hiroi smiled as he poured himself a bowl.

 

“Mmmmm....”Mizuki crunched on the cereal and couldn't help but like the taste of food in his mouth. Seeing as to how he skipped lunch and dinner yesterday.

 

“You're thin, Noue. Do you eat much?”

 

“Not really....I find that I either don't have time to eat or I just don't feel like it...either way I don't really bother my self over not eating. To me it's not a big deal.” Mizuki continued to chew on his cereal.

 

“You could get really sick if you don't eat, Mizuki. And studies show that not eating can make one cranky.”

 

“Do I look like some one to get cranky from not eating?” Mizuki glares at Hiroi but returns his attention to the cereal in front of him. Hiroi laughed slightly.

 

“Not at all.”

 

“Of course not!...Seeing as to how studies also show that deprived sleep is also a sign of crankyness and I'm not one to get cranky....unless provoked...”

 

“Am I provoking you, Noue?”

 

“No.......are you trying to provoke me Hiroi?” Hiroi shook his head innocently.

 

“Of course not.”

 

“Good.....cause then I would get angry and I don't want to get angry with you, Hiroi......” Hiroi picked up his bowl and placed it in the sink.

 

“I wouldn't want that either.”

 

“Hmmm...” Mizuki got up and placed his dish in the sink as well. Mizuki looked up at now and almost got caught doing so before he quickly looked down, blushing. Hiroi looked at the small watch on his wrist.

 

“Time to go, Noue.”

 

“Yes Hiroi...” Noue made to follow Hiroi to the front door and put on his jacket and shoes. Mizuki looked up. “Ready?” Hiroi grabbed his portfolio and car keys.

 

“Let's start another fun day.”

 

“Since when was school ever fun?”

 

“I enjoy all my students, Noue.”

 

“I bet they enjoy you too, Hiroi......another day, another girl.....-sighs-Why do I have to go through this?”

 

“Because it's part of life. You'll find this is only the beginning.”

 

“-sighs-Like everything else, school is just another wall I have to climb, is that what you want to really say? I've heard it all before...but!....School just got interesting....” Hiroi looked at him as he put on his shoes.

 

“I have to agree on that.”

 

“You too huh?....Well at least we're both having fun....” Noue grabbed his bag from the floor and swung in over his head as it slung to the side. Hiroi closed the door once they were both out and they moved to the car. Hiroi unlocked the doors and got in. As he started the ignition and drove out, he looked at Noue.

 

“We're going to have to go back to formality.”

 

“Formality? You mean I have to call you sensei now? But, I was getting so used to calling you Hiroi.....” Mizuki pouted sighing as he put his head down.

 

“It will be odd if I call you Noue while you call me Hiroi. For school and in front of others, well will have to fit in and conform.”

 

“-sigh- This is going to be hard...I'm already too tried to even talk to anyone and it might slip when someone comes to bother me.....” Hiroi almost broke the brake petal.

 

“What? Let it slip?”

 

“Ah!!” Mizuki immediately put his hands in front of him as he jerked forward. He placed one on his eye and then slid it down his face as he tried to focus on staying awake. “I don't know....it won't be on purpose....you know that! If a girl comes to bother me and I try to find a way out, I might call you over.....it depends on how much they're bothering me....”

 

“You scared me senseless...I thought you meant that you might slip out...”

 

“What? You actually thought I meant to tell anyone who came by that we...well...had...” Mizuki turned blushing and he couldn't found the words he wanted. Hiroi shook his head touching his temple.

 

“Silly me... you would never.”

 

“Right....I would never....it would hurt you and me both and well...that's something to keep secret....isn't it?” Mizuki's gaze glued on to the carpet of the car. Hiroi nodded.

 

“It's not something we can let out. Because of your age and because of what it is.”

 

“Do you hate it that I'm young? Do you hate......not being able to........express yourself because of who and what I am?”

 

“No. I don't hate it, Noue. I'll admit, it's not easy, but... I'd rather it be a challenge.”

 

“Of course..........cause then if it wasn't......then there would be no point continuing............am I right?” Noue looked up at Hiroi as he waited for his answer. Hiroi looked into his eyes.

 

“Where is this coming from, Noue? What is leading you to believe that I'm playing a game with you?” Noue gazed at Hiroi a little longer and then he turned his head, looking at the floor again.

 

“Shouldn't you be looking at the road?” Hiroi looked ahead with a sigh before pulling the car over. He turned in his seat, before taking Noue's face in one hand.

 

“I'm not playing a game with you, Noue. I want you to believe that.” Noue looked back at Hiroi with a weaken hurt look and he tried his best to hide it under his sliver hair.

 

“I want to Hiroi.....but.....”

 

“You're not a trusting person, so I will just have to show it to you. I will demonstrate to you what I really feel.” Noue turned his head to the side in confusion, still staring at Hiroi with his hurtful look.

 

“And what do you plan on showing me?”

 

“If I tell you now, you'll fight about it.”

 

“-sighs-I guess your right.....” Noue kept his head in Hiroi's hand but Noue's eyes trailed to the side and then down to look at the floor again. Hiroi started the car back up with no more words to say, and drove on.

 

Noue turned his head and looked out the window watching the people flow by. Words didn't seem necessary and well he wasn't going to ruin things with Hiroi....not until he found out what Hiroi really wanted. Hiroi pulled over a block away from the school.

 

“I think you should get off here.” Noue sighs and before he closed the door he whispered.

 

“Yes, Hiroi......”

 

“I'll see you inside.” Hiroi as the door closed.

 

“Yeah....” Noue closed the door hearing Hiroi and he started walking towards the school. Hiroi pulled away from the curb and disappeared into the parking lot. Noue twitched as he heard yet another girl, yelling his name, trying to get his attention.

 

“Mizuki-kun, Mizuki-kun!” Noue walked faster and entered the school. He switched his shoes fast and then ran up to Classroom 2-B.

----------

Hiroi heard the voice calling for the boy he was with moments before. He stepped out of the faculty lounge as the girl crossed paths with him.

 

“Don't be so down, Nao-chan. He must have not heard you.” The girl smiled slightly as Hiroi walked off. Noue was so close to sleeping on his desk until Inoue had showed up in front of his desk asking how last night went.

 

`Oh yeah last night went well....I had sex with my homeroom teacher, went home with him, slept in his bed, I wake up and have morning sex with him, eat with him and then come to school half way with him as the conversation in the car went no where. Last night went totally fine!' Noue responded sarcastically in his head.

 

“Good.....good…….....I got nothing done...” He whispered the last part. Inoue smiled.

 

“Don't worry Mizuki-kun! You'll do your best.”

 

“Right, right......my best.....” Noue was trying his best to stay awake but the female in front of him was preventing anything from having any contact with his head. Noue's head started to slip off his head and he was quickly nodding off. Inoue held the hem of her skirt as she looked down.

 

“Eto... Mizuki-kun... I was wondering if... You'd... maybe want to do something, you know, together... sometime...”

 

`If it'll get you out of my face, then why the hell not?'

 

“Sure Inoue-chan, just tell me when you want to go out and I'll be there.” Noue smiled vaguely trying to get the girl to leave.

 

`Thank god!' Noue plopped his arms and head on the desk rubbing his cheek against it as he found a good position to sleep in.

 

`Oh shit.....I just said yes to one of those harpies....great....just great....now lets see how long it takes this one to run away crying and then boast about it to her friends....' A slight shriek came from the back of the class as girls gathered around each other.

 

`-sighs- Great....might as well have sold my soul to the devil.' Noue lied on top of his desk wonder when class would start. Hiroi came in and put his briefcase down.* Good morning, everyone.

 

“Morning Mr. Nohara~ ” The class chorused. Noue quickly picked up his head as he watched Hiroi. Hiroi shot a careful glance to where Noue was sitting before he started talking.

 

“The school festival is almost here. Remember to do your best and have fun with it, class.”

 

“Yes, Mr. Nohara.” The class chorused again, the girls giggling as the guy's groaned from displeasure. Noue just relaxed his head on his hand and looked out the window pretending not to watch Hiroi's every move. Hiroi smiled at the class but more smiled at Noue for actually looking up today.

 

“Glad to here it. There will be a whole new set of activities this year, so make sure to participate as much as you can.”

 

“Yes sir, Mr. Nohara.” This time only half the class answered as they got sucked into their own small conversations. Noue turned his head as he heard more giggles come from the girls. Great! They were talking about him. Hiroi sat down at the desk and started taking attendance.

 

“Abira, Mai.” The girl responded quaintly and Hiroi kept going down the list. Noue sighed as he waited for his name. As the minutes passed, Noue regretted more and more about saying yes to Inoue and him going 'out'.

 

“Mizuki, Noue.” Hiroi looked up as the whole class paused to hear the boy talk.

 

“-sighs- Here....” Noue said as he flicked his hand in the air just to bring it back to his face as he tried to wipe his tiredness from himself. Hearing Hiroi say his name made Noue's heart leap but he had to keep a low profile about the whole 'I like my homeroom sensei, how about you?' thing. Hiroi looked back down at his list and finished the roll call. Noue was getting tired of everyone watching him. All he wanted was some sleep, that's all! Some nice, good sleep.

 

“We have 10 minutes before class starts. Everyone take a break.”

 

“Thanks Mr. Nohara.” The class broke out into conversation as everyone was talking about something. Noue just sat in his seat just hoping that no one would come over to bother him… Inoue stood behind Noue for a second before tapping his shoulder softly.

 

“Mizuki-kun.” Noue growled as he felt Inoue's touch on his shoulder. Noue took a deep breath and turned around tiredly.

 

“Yes....Inoue-chan?”

 

“I-I was just thinking... Where would you like to go when... uh... we go out.”

 

`How bout out my fucking face?' Noue sighed again as he thought. Finally exhaling loudly Noue said.

 

“How about the park...and then we can think of something from there?”

 

“That's wonderful, Mizuki-kun... Eto... I was wondering if I could have your phone number so that we can communicate that day... I promise I won't give it out or nothing...”

 

`Yeah right you no good harpy!!'

 

“Sure Inoue-chan....just as long as it's only you ok?” Noue wrote down his number and handed it to the girl smiling only a little bit, wishing for her to go away. Inoue placed her hand over her chest to keep her heart in.

 

“Y-yes.”

 

“Is that all Inoue-chan?” Noue asked as he turned his head to the side not knowing why the girl bothered to stay any longer.

 

“Oh. Uh... Would you like my number?”

 

`What is with this girl?'

 

“Sure Inoue-chan.” Noue said as he stuck his hand out to her. Inoue wrote her number on his palm. She bowed slightly.

 

“Thank you, Mizuki-kun.”

 

`Get the hell out of my face you whore!!'

 

“No problem, Inoue-chan.” Noue took the paper and put it in his pocket as he looked back up at Inoue. Inoue walked away, half shaking.

 

`Finally!!! Some peace and quite.' Noue plopped on the desk and he took out Inoue's number he laid there staring at it. Hiroi looked from that scene back to his desk.

 

`Well, well.' He thought. Noue stared more at the piece of paper and he crumpled it up into a paper ball, throwing it on the floor. Noue laid his head on the desk as he cursed to himself.

 

`Fucking harpy.....she's already given my number to her friends......Now I'm going to have to change it....again!.....' Noue groaned as he fell asleep. Hiroi stood up at the class bell.

 

“All right class, enjoy your school day. I'll see you around the building.” Noue groaned. He got only so much sleep and it was all thanks to the harpy, Inoue. Noue lazily got up from his chair and dragged him self across the room to the door. Hiroi stuffed the loose folders in his portfolio before trying to squeeze into the crowded hallway.

 

`Ah! Damn it!! It's crowded again.' Noue moaned as he didn't try to fight the crowd going towards his class. The classmates pushed and shoved as if this was lunch and Noue was pushed into some who had caught him before he could fall; it was Hiroi or Mr. Nohara as he told Noue to call him. Noue blushed as he looked down again.

 

“..........Thank you....for catching me....Mr. Nohara.....” Noue said having trouble getting the Mr. Nohara out. Hiroi stood up, handing him his books.

 

“No problem. Mizuki-kun.” Noue took the books from Hiroi's hand, brushing his hand with Hiroi's as they exchanged. Noue looked down on the floor more as he tried to hide his blush from Hiroi, turning his head as if he was pretending to look for a way to class. Hiroi pointed down the hallway.

 

“Your class is down there.”

 

“Umm...yes...yes it is...” Noue said as he looked towards the flock of students and the path that was blocked from where he was to where he needed to go. Noue sighed hard as he looked down in depression. “I guess I better go squirm myself through there....”

 

“I'm sure they'll clear up if you ask them too.” He laughed slightly knowing the influence Noue had on these kids.

 

“Hmmm....but it's such a bothersome...I don't like it when I use my influence to clear hallways...” Noue sighed again as he rubbed the back of his head. Hiroi laughed.

 

“Hurry or you'll be late, Mizuki-kun.” Noue groaned as he sighed again.

 

“Fine...fine! Just this once.....HEY!!” Noue screamed and everyone in the hallway froze. Noue looked around with a determined expression and said in his normal voice.

 

“I need to get to class....Clear the path!!” Everyone in the hallway cleared a path to Noue's class and he turned around thanking Hiroi before running off to class. Hiroi laughed a bit before sighing.

 

`I didn't get to ask him.' Noue reached his class and as he turned around the crowd formed again and Noue lost sight of Hiroi. Noue smiled at the thought that Hiroi was the one who caught him and Noue walked inside class with a smile. Hiroi looked down the hallway before completely losing sight of Noue and heading to his next class. Noue lazily walked out of class as he dragged himself to lunch. He quickly bought a school sandwich and he sat down picking at it for he wasn't that hungry. Noue sighed heavily again as he put his head on top of his hand. Hiroi moved around the lunch-line, using his faculty privileges to avoid the line.

 

Noue sat at his table, alone as usual, picking at the sandwich he had gotten. He wasn't hungry....not for a sandwich at least. Noue pushed the food aside and laid his head on the table as he made to go to sleep.
