Enemies to Lovers : HackSant

6

[A/n: This chapter was posted late due to reasons I would not like to state. Thank you for waiting!]

The next day was surprisingly a day off, so Ikuno decided to hangout with Hackula. "Hackula!! Wake up!" She shouted as she knocked on his room door. Her knuckles hurt after a while so she had stopped, "Ouch..that really was a lot of knocking.." she whispered while taking a look at the back of her hand, it wasn't that bad, just a little red.

'Hackula hasn't woken up yet, I wonder what's wrong..' she thought as she stared at the door. 'Maybe I should go in, he would usually be up by now..' she said as she opened the door. She looked in front of her, she was shocked to see Hackula passed out on his desk, snoring a little. 'Awe..I wonder what he was doing,' she walked to his desk quietly and looked around his desk a little.

'Oh, that's why he passed out..' on his desk, there was a paper that was halfway covered by his head, but Ikuno could tell that it was their Science project. 'Oh dear, maybe I should wake him up.' She shook him softly, "Wakie wakie Hackula.." she said quietly, Hackula woke up from Ikuno shaking him awake.

"H-hm?" Hackula hummed, he couldn't see the face of the person that had woken him up from his peaceful sleep. "How ya doin Hack?" The person had whispered to him. "Who.." Hackula started before his eyes had fully adjusted to his surroundings. He had noticed that Ikuno was in front of him. "Oh..it's just you Ikuno.." Hackula started, he had thought that it was someone else who had woken him up.

"What do you mean? You thought someone else would appear or what?" Ikuno questioned. Hackula looked at her, "I..the hell? What are you trying to say?.." Hackula mumbled as his head was still on the desk. "Nevermind, could you just get up please?" Ikuno pleaded. Hackula got up slowly from his desk, and Ikuno got up and left his room to go to the kitchen.

As Hackula walked towards the kitchen of his dorm, he would be met with a knock at the door. "Who could that be?.." he mumbled before walking towards the door and opening it. As the door opened, Hackula's eyes widened. "What are you doing here?.." Hackula quietly said, angered at the fact that Santa was right in front of him.

"I thought that you would never answer the door, it would always be your little friend, not some ugly rat.." Santa spat back at him. "You ignored my question-" "Whatever, it's not so fucking important to you is it?" Santa cut Hackula off before he could speak. Hackula sighed, "I mean..you aren't wrong..buttt you're not right either.." Hackula looked at Santa with a questionable look.

"Be honest with me Santa, why are you here?" Hackula asked again, but it seemed as if Santa was trying to ignore the question by talking about something totally different. Atlas, Santa had no other way to get out of that situation than to tell the truth. "Fine, you win. I just wanted to see you, that's really all.." Santa mumbled, with a small blush on his face (though it was not noticeable).

"I..w-what?.." Hackula stuttered while a blush appeared on his face. "Yeah, I'm sorry for not telling you in the first place.." Santa said as he put his hands behind his back. "Is that all or..?" Hackula asked. Santa shook his head, "I also wanted to ask you if you wanted to work on the project later at 7, if that's okay with you!..And with Ikuno as well.." he said, eyeing Ikuno while she stood there dumbfounded.

"What?" She asked, looking back at Santa. Hackula answered for Santa, "He was trying to ask you if it was okay for him to take me to his dorm today at 7 tonight." Santa immediately regretted letting Hackula answer for him, 'I could've answered it myself..' Santa thought. Ikuno eyed Santa before she spoke, "Hmph, I guess it would be great having this entire dorm to myself for a while.." she told herself. "Sure, I guess, it's just gonna be a little date between the both of you, no?" Ikuno giggled, Santa hated himself and Ikuno at that moment, did she really think this was a date?

It looked as if Ikuno had noticed what Santa was thinking because a while after that she had spoken again, "Hah, I'm just playing with you Santa, go ahead. I honestly don't really care unless he comes back beat up or something." She said as she giggled a little at her own comment before stopping and looking at Santa angrily. "So, I'm guessing that's all you came here for?" Hackula asked again, raising an eyebrow at Santa. "Yes Hackula, I'm sure. I'll be going along now. See ya you later.." Santa said as he walked away.

'This was all going according to plan,' Santa thought. He didn't actually think it would work, but it had, and it had surprised Santa. 'This was supposed to be such an easy task,' he thought about how he had acted just now. 'God, that shit was embarrassing..' he walked down the stairs and walked into the library. He walked in quietly, no one was there yet, so Santa decided to hang out there for a while. He looked around for any type of book he would like to read while he was waiting for time to pass by as he waited for the time of the supposed "date", as Ikuno called it earlier.

As Santa looked around, someone had been following him for a while now. He noticed who it was and it really didn't seem like her at all. "Something had gotten to her, hasn't there? She's never been like this, wonder what went wrong this time." Santa whispered quietly as he looked away from Gal's sight, but it was too late, Gal had already known who it was. She walked towards him, there wasn't any emotion appearing on her face while she walked. Santa backed up as Gal came closer and closer.

"Don't worry, Sant. I won't do anything to you, I just wanted to talk to you about something. That's if you have time right now.." she said monochromatically as she stared into his eyes. Santa tried looking away, but it was no use. "Look, I might have a way to get you out of this situation that you're stuck in right now.." Santa looked at her, shock spreading over his face at that exact moment. "What are you talking about Gal..?" He said as he looked away from Gal eyes. "You know exactly what the hell I'm talking about Santa.." Gal looked angered when Santa had said that.

"How are you supposed to help me? I thought you were useless.." Santa muttered angrily, he didn't really want any type of help anymore because now he had actually wanted to actually go out with Hackula (for a reason he wouldn't understand). "Hmph, do you want some help or not? Or do you want to stay with your annoying enemy?.." Gal was now starting to get impatient with Santa, "It's a yes or no question, dipshit.." Santa sighed, he had already come up with his answer once she had asked him that question. "No, I'm fine with him. I think I should be able to handle him..for now. I'll keep your offer in mind if I ever change my mind, ya got that?" Santa finally said.

Gal made sure to look a tad bit disappointed at his answer, she was actually happy, it's just that he wasn't supposed to know, 'He won't know about it yet, he'll know about it later..Hopefully..'. She started to walk off before looking back at him, "Just come talk to me if you need anything.." she said as she walked out of the library. 'Hopefully this continues to work..' she thought, 'It might all go downhill though, and that's what I don't want..'

Oof, I finally finished another chapter. I wonder what Gal's hiding, we'll find out later though, not now.  I rather just say this now than later: Chapter 7 will take a bit longer due to school, and life problems, I'll try to complete chapter 7 before April, but who knows. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter!
