Sasaki-sensei [Haise x Reader]

Part 2: Haise

Little did I know that I would have the chance to talk to that dreamy man again...

The next day, at the infirmary.

A student came with grazes on her fingers and some on her knees too. "I tripped when I was running at PE period..." she explained with weak voice and teary eyes.

"Poor Rinko-chan, please be careful," I helped her to sit down and tended to her wounds. I'd only worked at this school for two weeks but I had been visited by her more than three times. This was the first time I met someone clumsier than me.

"Sensei, I have a test the next period, what should I do..." Rinko said worriedly. It would be too painful for her to write with this condition.

"I'll inform your teacher so maybe you can have the test when you get better?"

Rinko told me to find Ginpachi-sensei and that he should be in the teachers office. I rushed there so I wouldn't leave the infirmary unattended for too long.

Ginpachi-sensei was the only one who had blueish hair in this school -so I heard- hence it wouldn't be hard to spot him. But when I arrived at the teacher room, there's only one person there. And his hair was white. With black streaks.

My heart skipped a beat. Sasaki-sensei was sitting on his desk, reading a book. He's wearing a kinda old-fashioned pair of glasses, you know, the ones with big lenses. But somehow they looked sexy on him.

I stood by the door for few seconds until he realised that someone was watching him. I quickly woke myself up from daydreaming and prepared to converse like a normal human being.

"Aa...." Damn, that's not how human beings converse at all.

"Hi! Ah, are you the sensei from yesterday? Can I help you?" He put his book down and walked towards me.

"Er... oh, yes, I'm looking for Ginpachi-sensei, one of his students can't attend the test today," I managed to create a normal sentence.

"Oh, all of the teachers are having a meeting with the principal. But they should be back any time soon." He's coming closer to me.

Why is he walking towards me? Please stop, I don't want to show my face to him. I can feel it getting hot again. No. But I wonder how he looks like up close... No! *thump thump thump* Heart, please stop beating! I mean, don't stop beating completely but stop making so much noise! Oh dear he's literally just standing in front of me now. Go ahead and smell him. NO! Stop being a pervert! And stop talking to yourself, start replying to what he said! You're just standing there in silence now. Like an idiot.

Luckily Sasaki-sensei was such a pure innocent cinnamon roll; he thought I was quiet because I wondered why he didn't go to the meeting with the other teachers. "The meeting is about last year's performance or something. I only started this year so I get to stay behind and guard the fort," he showed a tiny smile.

His hair looked silverish the day before. But it's definitely white now. Maybe because the sun was so bright yesterday? It doesn't look dyed either... Uhhh why am I obsessed with his hair. Also, I really need to start talking to him instead of imagining things!

"Ah, I see. Thank you, I suppose I should wait for Ginpachi-sensei." I figured that asking him to deliver the message would be a bit cheeky since he didn't offer to help.

But he did offer something else, "Do you want some coffee?"

"Uh..." I didn't particularly like drinking coffee, but I also didn't want to reject this nice gesture!

"Eh, do you not like coffee? Sorry, I don't know why I just assumed everyone would love it," Sasaki-sensei looked a bit embarrassed. That was extremely cute!

"No, thank you!" I didn't want to let him feel bad any longer. "I love the smell of coffee and I like coffee-flavoured pastries or bakeries. It's just, drinking it alone makes my heart race and sometimes it gives me headache."

"Ah, I understand," he replied. "I love the smell too. Not on pastries or food though... Er..." I wondered why he was suddenly lost for words. Did he hate food or something?

"Sensei, where are you from?" I tried to change the topic to avoid awkward silence.

"I'm from this city," he smiled again, "Just call me Haise."

Can I? Really? I can really address you by your first name, that gorgeous name. Are you really sure you want to give me the permission to do that. I'm up to no good with this power you know. H-Haise... Hey I might overuse this name when I'm on my own doing who-knows-what, you know! Are you sure about this, H-Haise...? Please be careful when you're talking to strangers, Haiseeee...!

"So, may I also know your name, Sensei?"

I told him my name and asked him to call me by my first name too. Before he could say anything, someone shouted from outside the room, "Haiseee, I need the dessert you promised me...!"

Ginpachi-sensei appeared, "Today's dessert was strawberry cake, right? Thank youuu!" His voice and his face all echoed laziness. Somehow it felt very familiar.

"Okie dokie," replied Haise. Then he turned to me, "I usually give Ginpachi-sensei my leftover food, well especially desserts." He walked to his desk, grabbed a little lunch box and gave it to his colleague.

This guy really hates sweet things...?

Everyday the teachers were given a selection of food for lunch. It seemed that Haise had brought an empty lunch box just to store his leftovers and feed this person.

"Gin-san, this lovely lady here wants to see you," Haise introduced me to Ginpachi-sensei.

L-lovely lady...

"Oh, yes!" I almost forgot the reason I came here. "Yamato Rinko injured her hands and knees during PE, so she won't be able to do the test today. Is that okay?"

"Is she alright?"

"Yes, she only has grazes and I've treated them, don't worry."

"No problem then. I'll think of something."

More teachers were coming into the room and some of them began to start conversations with Haise and Ginpachi-sensei. I said thanks to both of them and left the place, feeling silly for experiencing all kinds of lovey dovey excitement.

Two steps out of the office, I heard my name being called by that sweet voice. I turned around to see Haise standing next to the door.

"Can I come see you after school? There's a health article I don't really understand, but I need it for reference. If you don't mind, I'd like to ask for your help," he said, tilting his head a little while his right hand was messing with his hair.

What? S-see me after school? Like, only the two of us? Haise... Are you sure...??? (*ﾟﾛﾟ)
