Unexpected Meetings ✏️

●High-school AU●

🌸🌸🌸

Kai sighed and leaned back on his chair, the front two legs lifting up slightly. Geography was such a bore. Of course, he was aware of the multiple girls staring at him, but he just wasn't in the mood for flirting with fangirls. Surprisingly.

"Pssst, Kai~"

The brunette whipped his head around to be meeted with blue eyes. Kai rolled his. "What's up?" He greeted with a low voice, after momentarily flicking his eyes up at the front of the room. Jay looked unusually smug.

"Cole's lookin' at ya." Kai quirked his brow. "And?" Jay mentally face palmed. "Dude, he literally could not be more obvious. He's IN LOVEEE!" Jay quietly shouted. At that statement, Kai, who was usually unflappable, flushed faintly. He may or may not have been developing a small crush on a particular boy. The only problem was.. well. He was a he. He hadn't exactly told anyone he had a liking for boys as well as girls, except for Nya, who asked for his permission to tell her boyfriend, Jay.

"Mr. Smith! How many times have you interrupted my class this year!" The teacher snapped at him. Kai smirked.

"Approximately 27 times, miss." 'Miss' looked ready to explode. "That's it! Detention again for you, Mr. Smith! And you too, Mr. Brookstone! That's the 3rd time I've caught you sleeping in my class." Cole lifted his head up from the table, made eye contact with Kai for a split second with a smile, and then gazed coolly at the teacher.

"Fine by me."

Flies seemed to drone around the detention room as Kai ran a hand through his gelled up hair. He felt sticky, hot, and irritated. Unlike usual, the teacher had given them an absolute load of written work to be done before detention ended, or else they would get more detention. " Kai thought they were supposed to be in a cliché high-school. He was surrounded by jocks, wannabe-emos, and even a nerd from his science class was here for some reason. The only tolerable thing in here was Cole's quiet humming. Speaking of Cole, he seemed pretty content writing away. Kai could never. He got average grades, to say the least, while Nya was soaring being the top of her year. But then again, Kai convinced himself that average grades were all he needed to be a blacksmith. He absentmindedly played with his pencil, spinning it around with his fingers. Then, a subtle tap noise could be heard as it dropped to the floor. Kai sighed under his breath, and leaned down to pick it up, when his forehead bumped against another.

"Oh, sorry! Here's your pencil, man." Cole whispered. Kai blinked and blushed, though it wasn't noticeable. "Thanks, dude." He whispered back, and then mentally slapped himself. Who calls their crush 'dude'! He noted that Cole had platonically called him 'man', and sat back in his seat, feeling a bit down. His fingers still felt fizzy from the small brush of a touch.

"ARE YOU ALL DONE YOUR WORK?" Kai groaned. Thanks, detention teacher. Way to take the romance out of it.
