“Gotcha!” You called out as you once again attempted to leap onto your fellow classmate and remove his scarf.
Katakuri simply sidestepped your “ambush” with a heavy sigh. “____-san, why do you keep doing this?” he asked.
“Because I wanna know why you hide your face. You're pretty handsome with it, are you deformed or something?” You suddenly gasped as a thought occurred to you. “Are you able to breathe out toxic fumes like that one demon in that one anime that always wore a metallic mask?” (free request to whoever can guess the anime!)
“No. Where do you come up with these ideas? Last week you asked if I had some secret ghosty power that only comes out when I wear the scarf.”
“I watch a lot of anime where characters with special abilities wear something to cover their face.”
Katakuri facepalmed. Despite being absolutely adorable, he thought you could be a bit of a twit sometimes. “If I show you, will you stop trying to ambush me?” he asked.
You grinned and nodded eagerly.
Slowly, Katakuri pulled down his scarf, revealing stitches that traced his entire lower jaw and four very sharp teeth that poked out of his lips.
Your eyes widened, not in fear as Katakuri had expected, but awe and wonderment. “Wow. That's so cool!” You exclaimed.
“You're not repulsed?”
“Not at all! In fact-” you paused, cheeks going slightly pink. “I wonder if it would hurt for you to kiss someone.”
This definitely caught him off guard. He'd expected a lot of reactions, but not that. Smirking, he cupped your chin and placed a quick peck on your lips, whispering “You're cute when you get all red like that” in your ear.
Stunned, you gawked at him a moment before fainting, face redder than before.
Katakuri replaced his scarf before ambling off campus. Yep, to him you were an absolutely adorable twit. And he couldn't wait to kiss you again.
