I don't hate you |Neito Monoma x reader| (SLOW UPDATES)

Chapter 26

Slipping your blazer on, you grabbed your bag off the table, making sure to check for the file you took and securely hide it between some books.

You decided you would read them during your lunch break instead.

“Ayato. Take me to school.” you met him in the kitchen, scarfing down a large bowl of cereal, his mouth full and his eyes owlish as he stared at you in shock.

“It’s going to get soggy if you don't eat. Take me to school the second you finish. I don't have the time for this”

He nearly died when he forcibly swallowed the cereal in his mouth, the quantity so much it made you grimace.

“Small bites..... Next time. Um, are you sure you're ready to go back to school? Are you?”

“I have important things to do, so it doesn't matter if I'm ready or not. I have to go.” you rolled your eyes at his concern, your foot tapping against the floor as you waited for him.

You stood by your class door, clenching your fists as you chewed on your bottom lip nervously.

If you walked into the class right now...

You didn't know what to do, you'd see everyone and you just disappeared for a week without explanation. The only person that knew was Neito and to have him speak for you would just insinuate that....

“I already said I would confess today. What difference does it make? But what if it somehow manages to go wrong?”

You reached your hand out to the door, about to grab the handle when it slid open, Kendo, Awase and Shiozaki all coming outside, but stopping to stare at you in shock.

You gave them a small wave, awkwardly standing in the doorway as they continued to gape at you.

“Uh, hi. Am I late for cla-AAAAGGH!!”

You were tackled to the floor by the three who unceremoniously flung themselves at you, not bothered in the least about how well your ass would fare with taking the impact of the fall.

Neito looked at the doorway with a smirk, he was beginning to think you'd chickened out on coming back today, especially since he announced that you'd be coming.

“Welcome back, (last/name)!” The class chorused, Kendo dragging you back to your seat that was spilling over with notes and presents, a bouquet of dahlias on your desk.

“The flowers were from me” Setsuna grinned at you from her seat in the front row. You gave her a shy nod, not knowing how to feel about her actions and words.

‘But aren't flowers usually for mourning?’ you pondered to yourself, a grimace coming on your face when you tried pulling your seat out to pack some things from it, only for a whole pile of notes with identical writing to tumble out of your desk locker.

“I wrote you about five notes every day. And so did everyone else-shroom!” Komori said excitedly, her crosshair pupils on display as she smiled at you.

“Um. Thank you.... All of you, I'm really glad that you missed me and all, but I have to catch up on my work studies right away, so I can't attend class for another week starting tomorrow.”

You awkwardly scratched your cheek, grabbing all the gifts as you began hauling them to the girls locker room, your eyes averting from Neito’s when he looked over at you with a dopey smile.
