In Love With A Giant

Whos' Territory?

CW: VIOLENCE, MISGENDERING

~ After last class of the day ~

I was studying when I heard someone walk up behind me. "Are you person that's dating Asahi Azumane?" I turned to see who it was, another student. I turned back around to continue studying. "So I guess it is true. Too bad, if you had said no you wouldn't have to endure this, but I have to do something. I'm Sen Eri by the way." I ignored her and got one of my books I needed out. I felt a hand in my hair and pull me out of my seat. I tried to pull her hand off but she wouldn't budge. "You're really dating him? What does he see in you?" I felt her hand across my face, she just slapped me. I've already had worse. I dropped my weight and fell to the floor. "Kariro? Is that you?" I heard from somewhere in the room. "Y-yeah. I'm here." I said waiting to be hit. I heard some shuffling and felt a foot go into my stomach. I started to cough and heard, "Eri. What are you doing in here? You're not a second year." My head hurt a little so I couldn't recognize the voice but I knew it from somewhere.

I heard footsteps from behind me and flinched. "Hey, it's ok. I won't hurt you." I knew that voice but I just couldn't think of who it could be. I felt hands around my waist. "Can you stand?" I nodded my head and looked around to gain a sense of what was happening. I saw Eri, Tanaka, Noya, and... Asahi. Great, now that crazy bitch is gonna think we really are dating. I stood up with help from Asahi and kept my head down, trying to get too much attention. "Eri, what the hell are you doing here?" I looked at her as she fumed with hate. "I was just paying the new girl a visit, that's all." I flinched at that word. "Then why were they on the floor?" Asahi sounded mad. "She was on the ground because she tripped on her chair trying to get up." "Yeah right, you had a hold of their hair and wouldn't let go." I heard someone say from behind me. It was Tanaka, he came up to stand next to me.

"Don't interrupt peoples' conversation, this has nothing to do with you." Eri said taking a step towards me and the guys. "It does actually. I saw you grab Kariro's hair and sent Noya to go get Asahi since it has to do with him. When Kariro dropped to the floor I thought they had fainted or something, that's why I called out." I looked at Tanaka and he was red and sweating. "I-I'm fine guys. Let's just go." I turned to walk away but Asahi grabbed my waist to stop me. He pulled me to his side and didn't let go. "What's your problem with Kariro?" I could feel Asahi's heart beating fast. "Well, she took you from me and I didn't even get a chance to say anything." Asahi tightened his grip on my waist. "Well, you don't have to say anything. Kariro and I are dating. Nothing's going to change that. Now, bother Kariro again and I'll forget you even exist. Now get out of my sight." I could see tears in Eri's eyes as she walked away in a rush. Tanaka took a step in front of us. "Check if Kariro's ok. I'm gonna go talk to Noya." He walked out of the classroom and left us alone.

Asahi let go of me and sat in a desk. I stood where I was trying to think of what to say. "I'm sorry. I really am. I didn't mean to go that far. I was just angry and not thinking straight. I shouldn't have said some of what I did. I should just let you be." He had his head in his hands and was looking down. "Look Asahi, I'm fine. That was nothing. Just a jealous girl that has nothing else better to do then bother other people. She only came after me because she thought we were dating. I don't know where she got the from, but it wasn't true until you said that we were. I'm not mad at you at all. I don't want you to think I am. If you wanna date, sure let's do it." I stopped talking as I saw Asahi stand. "What about your crush? I said I wouldn't get in the way and I intend to keep it." I started to laugh and I sat in my desk. "You wouldn't be getting in the way, ok? You really are oblivious aren't you?"

I was startled by Asahi leaning over me. "What do you mean? You said you wouldn't tell me and that I would have to figure it out." I shook my head and heard the door open. It was Daichi, Suga, Noya, Tanaka, and Kiyoko. Asahi shot up and took a step away from me. "Hey, we heard what happened. You ok Kariro?" Daichi walked over to us and put his hand on Asahi's shoulder. He leaned over to whisper something to Asahi. I saw Noya talking quietly to Tanaka. I looked at Asahi and Daichi, Asahi was red and he was avoiding eye contact. Daichi looked over at me, "You're ok, right?" I nodded and smiled. "Good, I'll let you and Asahi talk. Let the rest of us know if you need anything, ok?" I looked over at the group and back to Daichi. "Thank you guys, I will." Daichi smiled and went to the group by the door. He waved and shooed everyone away and shut the door. I looked at Asahi, he was staring at the floor and rubbing his neck.
