A Kankri X Reader Collection

.: 6th Story:.

There you were, once again listening for the lectures of the ranting boy.

"Despite... Actually..." You could only catch fragments of his sentences. You stepped forward, attempting to maneuver your way through the people, but were thrown back. You landed on your butt.

"Ow..." Soon the warning bell rung, causing the people around you to disperse and more or less trample you.

After long enough, you were able to stand up without being pushed back down. You carefully lifted your things and looked at your watch.

I'll be late!

You were planning on rushing off to your class-you were already failing it at this point-when you heard him sigh and mutter, "no one ever listens to me..."

Maintaining a calm demeanor, you slowly walked towards him.

"I listen," you said simply, before the late bell rung and you ran off, apologizing and mentioning that you were already failing on top of being late.

As you ran, you think you heard him mention a thing like "tutoring"...

"( Y/N )? Any explanations as to why you were late to my class again this week?" You shrunk back.

"I... don't have any... reason... I fell," You said quietly.

"See me after class." You sighed in defeat and walked to your seat.

The bell rung, cueing everyone else standing and you sighing. You slowly stood up and began the funeral march to the teacher's desk. Your funeral procession was rudely interrupted by a large shove from behind.

"Detention, Miss Serket!"

"Suuuuuuuure," drawled the girl who shoved you. She then stepped over you, not bothering to help you up. You cautiously pushed yourself up and finished your funeral march.

You made absolute sure your will was in your locker.

"( Y/N ), you've been late three times this week and you're failing all your classes! What's going on?"

"I, well, it's just, complicated. I stay up really late trying to comprehend what I learned in all my classes and do my homework, so I'm really tired, and I just..."

" What if we got you a tutor and you went through the tutoring program, then? I'm sure that it will help you comprehend the work much faster. The older grades are working on doing projects helping out the... struggling.... kids your age."

You nodded.

"Um, Mrs- oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt your conversation. If it's a private thing, I'll just leave." Kankri poked his head into the room.

"Actually, perfect timing. Kankri, come here for a minute. ( Y/N ), Kankri is one of the students taking the extra credit project for tutoring students. Kankri, [full name] is needing some extra help in her classes. You haven't found a pupil yet, have you?"

Kankri shook his head. "No ma'am."

"Would you like to have ( Y/N ) as your pupil?"

He looked at you, and nodded. You stared at the floor, suddenly feeling an aching embarrassment.

"Great! ( Y/N ), Kankri, I'll write the both of you passes to your next class."

"Thank you," the both of you chorused. You looked at him and laughed before walking to your seat and picking up your things. You carefully held the note the teacher wrote you in between two of your fingers.
