✎ it was lunch break, and An Shiraishi was on hall duty. for the sake of AkiAn, she had balanced her hall duties with hanging out with her boyfriend, Akito Shinonome.

"Akito, what are you eating?" An asked, staring at the food in Akito's hand. he was leaning against the wall besides An, observing her as she watched over the halls of Kamiyama High.

"just a turkey and cheese sandwich with lettuce. you're gonna ask me for some, aren't ya?" Akito sighed. he took another bite, hoping he would finish before An asked for a piece.

"c'mon! a girl is starving over here!" An raised her voice a bit, putting her hands on her hips as if she was ready to give him a lecture. "ughh... fine," Akito gave in, ripping off and handing An half of his sandwich.

"yay! thank you, Aki!" she grinned, taking the gift. "it's not that big of a deal, y'know..." Akito grumbled, turning away to hide the hint of pink on his cheeks. "there's no gross tomatoes on it, right?" An inquired, before taking a little nibble out of the bread.

Akito began, "nah-" when, suddenly, a loud bang echoed from the nearby room, followed by a pink, glittery ooze seeping from under the door.

the two lovers exchanged knowing looks. this could only be the work of the one and only Rui Kamishiro. after a long silence, "Kamishiro," An and Akito said in unison, before Akito turned to face the problem at hand.

"I'm literally gonna murder that guy..." Akito said under his breath, approaching the door. "wait, Akito! it could be dangerous in there! it's my duty, as a hall monitor, to deal with this mess, anyway!" An called out to Akito. he just scoffed in response.

"it's only another of Kamishiro's stupid experiments, An. it can't be that dangerous," Akito replied, swinging the door open, more of the strange, pink foamy mixture now running out of the classroom and into the halls.

"what is this stuff!?" An exclaimed, looking wide-eyed at the sight before her, and then down to her uniform.

"great, now my uniform is covered in whatever this pink glittery stuff is..." An uttered to herself, trying to wipe it off. Akito seemed to not mind though. the second some of the foam faded away, clearing the area for him to get through, he ran right into the classroom.

The classroom was an absolute mess, the floor and walls were covered in whatever this experiment was. as Akito swam through it, he kept yelling Rui's name.

An followed in after her boyfriend, carefully scanning the room, where, she picked up a piece of paper from one of the lab tables. she read it aloud, "cotton candy gummy toothpaste recipe?" An blinked in confusion. "what in the world?"

"I guess that's what this pink, glittery foam is. still wouldn't trust it, though," Akito butted in, as he had overheard her reading the note to herself.

Akito kept looking, but there was no sign of Rui. then, he noticed the open window. as An was still digging around the classroom, Akito slowly stepped through the foam on the floor and up to the window in aggravation.

looking down at the ground that was one floor below them, there the causer was, waving from the bushes, which must have broken his fall.

"the amount of audacity that idiot has to smile and wave at me after this stupid mess he caused," Akito thought. "Akito? what's going on?" An questioned, joining Akito in looking out the window.

Akito put his anger aside for a few seconds, pointing down. An bent over to look out the window, staring down at the purple-haired male below in shock. "Kamishiro, how did you even-!?" An gasped out.

"heh..." Rui chuckled awkwardly up at the couple, before running off. "hey! get back here!" An yelled out to Rui, who just kept running, as Akito growled, almost fuming.

"you two! stop right there!" a voice erupted. An and Akito snapped their heads around to see a teacher standing at the entrance of the classroom, which they assumed was where the voice had come from. "what is this mess!?" the teacher interrogated.

An gulped, trying to explain what was going on, "miss, this was not our doing-" but she just ended up being cut off by a "detention for the both of you!"

....

in detention, An and Akito found themselves side by side, the tension of the moment still lingering in the air. both of them will still soaked in the mixture, which probably even stained their uniforms by now.

"that dumbass, getting us in trouble..." Akito cursed under his breath, peeling off his uniform blazer, revealing his hoodie, which he took off, too. now, he was only in his white polo shirt and his tie.

as Akito adjusted his collar, An found herself staring at his collarbones, and the fair skin on his neck. his skin looked so... pure? like a china doll, or something. "no... that sounds weird..." An mentally told herself, ripping her eyes say from her view of him and his perfect self.

"what? what is it, An?" Akito quizzed, realizing the foam still in her hair.

"oh... let me help you with that," he stated, reaching out to gently dry the glittery remnants from her hair with his hoodie.

An's heart raced as Akito's touch sent shivers down her spine. she couldn't help but feel flustered by his closeness, the warmth of his presence engulfing her despite the cold and dark atmosphere in the detention room.

Akito stopped, realizing how embarrassing this was, not just for him, but for An as well.

"you can borrow my hoodie, I guess..." Akito blushed, leaving his hoodie wrapped around his girlfriend's head.

as she felt the warmth of Akito's hoodie enveloping her, a sense of comfort washed over An. she couldn't deny the fluttering feeling in her chest as she breathed in his scent, which was lingering on the fabric. "thanks..." she whispered softly, her cheeks tinted with a faint blush.

Akito flashed her a sheepish smile, his own cheeks flushed with embarrassment at the unexpected intimacy of the moment. despite the trouble they were in, there was something strangely peaceful about being together in that moment, alone in their shared space of detention.

a comforting silence filled the room as they sat side by side. An couldn't help but steal glances at Akito, noticing the way the dim light of the room cast shadows on his features, highlighting the contours of his face. She found herself mesmerized by the way his eyes sparkled with his true love for her, even in the midst of their predicament.

"I wouldn't mind taking the blame for Kamishiro's crazy experiments again..." An spoke, to Akito's surprise. "uhm... I guess, I wouldn't mind either..."
