Perfect Flaws | Gakushu Asano X Reader

22| From Afar

~To The Story~

Your silly crush on him began back in junior high.

As cliche as it sounds, you caught feelings for him the second you laid eyes on him. There was just something about him that stood out from the others. What do they call this again? Love at first sight? No, that can't be it. Attraction at first sight? Yeah, that's how you would put it.

You were attracted to him for the same reason everyone else was. He was described as 'super cool' by any teenage girl. How can you blame yourself?

'Ugh, I hate this school.'

You grimaced, arms resting on the windowsill eating your pocky. Two other girls stood next to you, chatting away. You would have exchanged conversations with them but you still need time to recover from your morning classes. The girl next to you would sometimes pick out a pockey stick from your box.

You were too zoned out to realize it but it's not like you never had a problem sharing your food with your friends.

"Oh, Asano-kun!" Your friend Mei squealed, and because of her excitement, she tapped your shoulder, surprising you to which prompted you to accidentally almost drop your box of pockey.

"Hey-" You caught your box before it fell over the window. You sighed in relief then turn to your friend with a glare. "What was that f--?" You followed her eye line and saw who she was waving at.

Your facial expression went from annoyance to star-struck. A couple of meters away, there stood a boy in the same grade as you, waving back to your friends. Your friend's squealing and attempt to talk to him went deaf to your ears as soon as you saw him.

Gakushu Asano, the son of the headmaster, the school's pride and joy. You haven't seen him around but you have heard about him from the other students, saying how hot he is and how he looked like a model. And now seeing him for yourself, you can say they were right.

He had such a perfect posture. His smile, hair, and flawless skin were just perfect.

Gakushu then caught you staring at him, much to your embarrassment. Still in his 'good boy' act, he smiled at you.

On cue, cupid struck one of his arrows in your heart.

Because you were incapable of behaving like a normal person around a cute guy, you said nothing and walked off with a blushing mess, ignoring your friends, and asking where you were going.

Asano in the meantime was visibly confused by your action, but he soon brushed you off thinking you were just shy. He's come across tons of girls like that whenever he smiled at them.

You never did anything regarding your crush on Asano. All you did was quietly admire him from afar. He was viewed as some sort of celebrity and or just someone of importance. So talking to him out of the blue was not an option. Especially since you were a mere C-class student.

Many girls were head over heels for the guy. Even one of your friends/classmates had a crush on him. Since your crush on Asano wasn't big and you knew nothing would come of it, you didn't mind nor feel jealous whenever you saw her talking to him. Still, you kept your feelings for the golden boy on a down low.

You would always take a second glance at him whenever you saw him in school, you would sometimes doodle his name in your journal and you would always look at him with awe whenever he did something amazing and or just acted like a leader.

Meanwhile, Mei didn't have to tell you that she liked him because it was obvious. In your case, you didn't want to make your crush obvious because of her. Did your attraction towards Asano slip a few times? Yes, it did. Did she take it well? No, no she didn't.
