chapter two
RINGGGG
"wake uppp sleepy head!"
you felt a soft knock on your head, waking you up from your nap. slowly raising your head and rubbing your eyes, you were greeted by a smiling yori.
"good morning.." you yawned.
"looks like someone didn't get enough sleep last night." yori joked, getting up from her chair and grabbing her bag.
you eyed her confused, "wait where are you going?"
"to practice, we have a concert coming up in a bit." she answered.
narrowing your eyes at her, "then why'd you wake me up?" you questioned only to be replied with a cheeky smile as she walked out the room.
your eyes trailed after her as she skipped out of the classroom, leaving you there all alone, surrounded by the sounds of your chattering classmates.

"...."
"uh.. do you.. need help again?"
standing there, with both your hands holding tightly onto the sides of the vending machine once again. deja vu.
".. yes please.." you stuttered in embarrassment, quickly moving to the side to make way for the guy, note who you still don't know the name of.
there he was once again, staring at the vending machine, thinking of some way to knock down your drink that was stuck, again.
after a few seconds, he inserted the coin and pressed a button of a drink hoping for it to work.
CLANK
"uh oh." the boy let out, staring at the machine blankly.
curious, you peeked your head beside him to see what he was looking at.
"oh." you mouth turned into an 'o'.
both drinks were now stuck, right on top of each other.
slowly turning your heads to face each other, you both blinked blankly before slouching down.
"do you wanna go to the one downstairs?" you offered him to which he nodded in return.

walking side to side in the narrow stairway, you two made your way downstairs in silence. not one word came from your mouths.
you did sneak some glances at him though, this mystery boy who's been your drink hero.. well not really but you get the idea.
your eyes glazed over his sculpted side profile, his nose was well defined, his lashes longer than any one's you've ever seen. "he's cute."
eyes widened, you quickly looked away. what the hell were you thinking just now? shaking your head, you tried to brush off whatever you were just thinking of now.
"CATC- OH WATCH OUT BRO!" a voice suddenly shouted down the stairway, startling you out of your train of thoughts.
your eyes widened at the sight of a basketball flying directly at you.
"oh uh-" you mumbled out, panicked.
you closed your eyes, putting both your arms up, prepared for impacted.
THUD
...
"huh?" you let out the air you are subconsciously holding in as you opened your eyes to see drink boy standing in front of yoi.
"bro you shouldn't be throwing stuff around in the stairway." he scolded the boy who threw the ball, tossing the ball back to him.
"i'm so sorry!" the boy apologized before running off back to his friends.
you blinked blankly. it was like this man's been saving your ass everyday or something.
"thank you.. it's like you've been saving me everywhere." you chuckled, looking up at him as he turned around to face you.
the moment your eyes met, it looked like he was glowing. now it was probably from the window behind him but in that moment, it was almost like.. he was an angel.
you were lost in his gaze. something about him just kept pulling you in, you just couldn't look away.
"are you okay?" you felt his hand on your head, leaning closer to you.
a heat immediately rushing up to your cheeks, an apparent hue appeared.
"i uh-" you stuttered, looking away from him.
it seems like he realized how close he was as he quickly backed away with a hue in his cheeks and ear.
"oh uhm.. i never got your name." you finally asked, turning back to him.
you stared at the back of his head, noticing his obviously red ears as he rubbed the back of his head. "tachibana naoto."
you smiled at his name. "i'm l/n y/n."
