My Hero // Baji Keisuke

~12~

The next day...
Morning...

"Good morning Y/N-chan."

"Good morning."

Ryoko was drinking coffee. You had joined her and ate with her. "Want to go to the store once we're done eating?"

"Sure."

The two of you got ready to go out. You guys were walking down the streets and found a store where they sell school supplies. You guys went down the aisle where the notebooks were.

"You can pick the ones you like."

You looked at the notebooks and saw the different colors and designs they had. You needed three notebooks for your classes. You got the notebooks with a design. You then got pencils and anything else you needed. Ryoko paid and you guys went out to find a store where you can buy a bag. You guys found a store with lots of bags.

"You can pick whichever one you like, don't worry about the price."

You took a look at all the bags they had. There were so  many to choose from. After some time, you finally found a bag you liked. You got a backpack in your favorite color and you guys went to the register.

"Ok, that will be 8,000 yen." The cashier said.

Ryoko looked through her bag for her wallet. You were just standing behind her. The cashier looked over at you. "What a cute little girl you have." She said with a smile.

"I know, she's just so cute."

"She really is." Ryoko then handed the cashier her card. "Ok ma'am, here you go. She said as she gave her back her card. "Thank you and have a nice day!"

"Thank you, you too." You guys went out the store. "Wanna go somewhere else?"

You thought about where to go. You did have a craving a for ice cream.

"Can we get ice cream?"

"Sure. I remember seeing a new ice cream shop opened up, so let's go there."

The ice cream shop wasn't far from where you guys were. There was a line and you guys had to wait. It was now your guys turn to order.

"I'll get vanilla flavor. Y/N-chan, which flavor do you want?" You pointed at the flavor you wanted. The man then gave you guys your cones and you guys went on your way.

"Do you like it?"

You nodded. "It tastes good."

You guys finally got home and you were finally able to relax. You felt tired from walking so much. Ryoko went to go take a shower while you got your stuff and went to Baji's room. You took your things out and started organizing everything. You made sure to put everything in your bag so you don't forget anything. Ryoko then got done with her shower and went to the kitchen to start making food since school was over and Baji would come home hungry.

You were sitting at the desk drawing when you heard the front door open. "Mom, I'm hungry." You heard Baji's voice. You then heard footsteps coming. "Hey Y/N."

"Hi."

He put his bag on the floor and laid in his bed. "I'm so tired. I hate school." You just continued drawing. "Hey Y/N, when are you going back to school?"

"Tomorrow."

Baji sat up. "Really?! That's good, at least I'll have someone I can talk to during lunch." He got up and got his clothes to change. As he got done changing, he went to the kitchen. His plate was already served, so he sat down to eat.

"Y/N-chan is going back to school tomorrow. You better walk her to and from school. I swear you better not cause her any trouble or else." She said in a strict tone.

Baji gulped. His mom was the only person he was really scared of. "Yes ma'am." He then continued eating. As he finished, he got up and was about to leave.

"Keisuke, put your dishes in the sink."

He groaned and grabbed the plate and cup and put them in the sink. He went into his room and saw you still drawing. "What are you drawing?" He said as he approached you and looked at what you were drawing.

"Is that a park?"

You nodded at his question. You were drawing the park where you first saw Baji.

"Oh right, mom said I have to walk you to and from school everyday."

"Ok."

"Do have have everything you need?"

"Yeah, we went shopping earlier." You finished your drawing and started putting your stuff away.

"How do you feel about going back to school?"

A part of you didn't want to go, but since you and Baji were friends now, you thought maybe school wouldn't be so bad anymore. "I-I don't know."

"At least you'll have me there. Not all the time, but you know. Just remember, if anyone bully's you let me know and I'll take care of them."

"O-ok, I will."

He smiled. "Good."

You got up and grabbed your clothes to go take a shower. After 20 minutes, you got out and saw Baji playing.

"Wanna play?"

You nodded as you took a seat next to him. You were getting more comfortable being around him. You guys played for a while. A knock was heard. Ryoko opened the door and went inside.

"Keisuke, you guys have been playing for too long now. Turn the game off now." Baji groaned and did what his mother asked. "Instead of playing video games, you guys should go out and have fun. You guys are still young. You should enjoy yourselves more."

"Yeah, yeah."

"Keisuke, I'm being serious. I will take your console away if you keep playing to much."

"Tch. Fine."

"Good. You guys should go eat now. Dinner is ready."

You guys got up and left the room. You guys sat down at the table while Ryoko served you guys.

"So Y/N-chan, are you excited to go to school tomorrow?"

You weren't excited, but things could be different this time. You knew your classmates would start talking about you and that made you feel anxious.

"I-I don't know."

"Well, Keisuke will be with you, so I know you'll be fine... hopefully."

"Mom, really."

"Keisuke, I know you're a bad kid, so you better not involve Y/N-chan in any of your problems, you hear me?"

"I know."

Nighttime...

"Are you feeling nervous about going to school tomorrow?"

"A little."

"I can walk you to your class if you want."

"O-ok."

"Let's just sleep now. Don't think too much about tomorrow. Night."

"Goodnight."

You covered yourself in your blanket and hugged your bunny as you always do.

Everything is going to be fine.
