COTE one-shots

Switch Me Down, Baby!

The time is 7:00 AM. The beginning of classes starts at 8:00 AM but some students like to be an early bird and reach the classroom in the brightest of day.

There are some complications like feeling kinda lonely during the classroom but they can get some studying done or goof around until more and more of their classmates arrive along with their respectable homeroom teacher.

That can also be the same for the brand new third-year class "Class S", as there are currently two male third-years walking through the corridors until they find their classroom.

"Hmm..."

"Is something wrong, Keisei-kun?" Hirata asked.

"It's been a few weeks ever since Horikita made those bounties and out for the hunt on Kiyotaka and so far, she hasn't done anything. It feels strange." Keisei felt a bit nervous, thinking about the amount of possibilities of their unknown future.

"Didn't Kiyotaka-kun told us that we have nothing to worry about? I'll admit that I am a little skeptical but once the time for THAT has come, we'll be prepared." Hirata pats Keisei's shoulder.

"Besides, continuing to worry about this would only benefit Horikita more. She wanted us to feel threatened or scared about the bounties so we can all walk to the same trap, making all of us dance in her palm." He added.

"...I guess you're right. Let's only hope that Kiyotaka actually knows what he's doing." Keisei fixes his glasses.

"We're almost catching up to Class A all thanks to our headstart so if we continue to successfully climb our way up, we'll be at the top before the month of graduation!" Hirata smiled.

Keisei also smiled as well, beginning to believe that the chance they have to be above Class A is high. His former doubt has dissapeared, remembering that their class leader would lead them all to their sweet victory.

"Hopefully everyone would start going to class an hour or two before the designated time. Attendance is highly important too, you know?" Keisei said.

"Keisei-kun... don't forget that the girls tend to take longer to prepare than us boys. Speaking of boys, even we prepare ourselves, even if it's only a little." Hirata explained.

"But that doesn't explain how the girls would take their time putting light make-up on instead of studying."

"Just make sure Haruka doesn't hear you say that. Anyway, looks like we're here."

Hirata stops as the two are now at their classroom. He opens the door and see absolutely no one but the empty chairs.

"I wonder what kind of special exam we're going to have soon. Do you have any clues?" Hirata asked as he placed his bag on his seat.

"I'm fine with anything as long as I don't have to get strapped with the pregnant simulator again... I still remember each and every pain coming from that stupid machine..." Keisei started getting flashbacks.

"The important thing is that we passed so you can atleast be proud of that." Hirata let out a small chuckle.

"Says the one who keeps "accidentally" pressing the plus button so suffering continues." Keisei sighs heavily as he was about to put his bag down but suddenly noticed something.

"Huh? When did this get here?"

It was a red button stuck on his desk. It slowly blinks as it is ready to be pressed.

"Uhh, Yosuke? What would you do if a red button suddenly shows up at your desk? Would you press it?" Keisei asked.

"Depending on the upcoming consequences if I ever press it. Why do you ask?" Hirata walks to Keisei's desk, seeing the button as well.
