Hitorijime My Hero

Welcome Back

"Sensei! You're back!"

"Welcome back Sensei!"

"Sensei, where've you been?!"

Those were the students reaction to me entering the classroom after not being present for some time. I found it pleasant that the students missed me that much, but I guess with any teacher that had been out a couple of days they'd be surprised with my return. Understanding I'd have questions to answer I stood in front of the class and attempted to kill all birds with one stone.

"For anyone wonder why I wasn't present for the past few days, which I'm sure is many of you, I wasn't feeling well and had to take those few days to regain my health." I said before I sat at my desk and pulled out a movie. The kids would have an easy day and I could use the time to catch up on my work.

This went on with every class that day, the students would ask where I'd been, I'd answer the same way, and put a movie on. One of my classes didn't happen like this though. It was during the time I was looking for the movie I had misplaced when a female student of mine approached me.

"Sensei?"

"Hello Amanda, how may I help you?"

"When you were out I made you a card. I tried to convince one of staff members to mail it to you, but no one was able to, so I thought I'd give it to you now, although it is a little late." She said handing me a homemade card.

The cards was one blue paper with careful handwriting. It was clean and looked almost professional, if I didn't notice that the paper was of different texture than that of a store bought card I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. I take a seat at my desk and open the well designed card. At first glance there wasn't anything out of the ordinary about it, just your normal "Hope you feel better and return to work", but there was a folded up piece of loose leaf; a note.

Dear Sensei Ohshiba,

Although I am aware that I am your students and that the ask gap between us is wide, I cannot help but find you attractive. The other girls tease me for being interested in you, but I don't care. I really like you! I'm not doing this to improve my grade or earn favoritism in any way. Even if you were to reciprocate these feelings I would still wish to treated as any other student. When I am writing this you are out of school for some unknown reason, but I wish I could understand all there is to know about you, and I want to be with you when you go through the bad and the good. Others could say I'm too young to understand, but I know I have feelings for you. Could you possibly like me in return?

With Love,
Amanda

This isn't my first time being in situations like this. It happens more than I'd like to admit, but none of them a separate Masahiro and I, because I love him. He is my world and even though we fight sometimes that doesn't stop us in the slightest. I am his, and he is mine. That's the deal we made when we put on those rings for the first time, and it was more enhanced when I officially got down on one knee. I am his; mind, body, and soul. He is mine; mind, body, and soul. Nothing can ruin our life together, our future wedding, and maybe a family of our own. I love him, so much that it hurts. Thinking about not having him in my life is possibly the worst outcome that my future could hold, but if the future tries to break us up I will fight, harder than I've ever fought before. The things we do for love in insane. I used to find it weird and confusing, why would someone go through all that trouble? Years later I understand how powerful love is and what it can do to a person. Makes me wonder, how far would I go for Masahiro? To the ends of the earth, and even farther.

I write back a simple note explaining that I am in a current relationship and that I'm happy with who I'm with before placing it on her desk. She looked upset, but I tried to put it in the nicest way possible. A couple of the other girls chuckled from behind her, as if they saw this coming and wanted to know more about the situation. After I found the movie, I put it on for the remainder of class.

At the end of the day I walk beside my loving boyfriend and my twink of a brother. Kenny was bombarding Masahiro with questions about dinner and why he quit the ramen shop. Masa only answer the questions surrounding dinner, as he didn't want to remember that night. Since the incident we haven't performed sexual acts on each other, besides the night we made up for the fight, but that was more heat of the moment flirting than anything. I'm respecting him, because the last thing I want is for Masa to be uncomfortable or afraid around me. He has nightmares about the night and had woken up crying numerous times and then feels bad for waking me up because of it. Every time that happens I hug him and let him know that I'm here for him, I'll protect him, that I'd never do something he wasn't comfortable with, and that I love him wholeheartedly. Also, I try not to stay after to do work anymore because of the incident. If I do end up getting caught into some overtime I try to get out of there as soon as possible. Masahiro's well being is important to me, wether he's sick physically, emotionally, or mentally I want to be there to support him. If I could tell him anything, I would tell him just how strong my love for him is, but it doesn't appear that there has been a word strong enough to do so.

So...no smut. I know a few of you were hoping that I'd do smut, but I personally don't plan on doing so in this book. Also, my family member that I live with had surgery done, so I will be tending to them even more so than before. I plan to hopefully have the next chapter up by my birthday!! Anyways, please wear a mask, use hand sanitizer, wash your hands, and stay safe everyone!!
