Everybody loves Kami-yan

KUROKO

It started with simple curiosity, regarding the boy with the spiky hair, Shirai Kuroko thought. He always was around her Sissy whenever she often sees her lovely senior around.

It stumped her beyond reason. Surely Misaka-kun would find anyone nicer than this... gentleman. He looked rather homely, with his spiked hair, messy-looking clothes, and rather plain-looking face; not ugly nor handsome, just average in every way she could find.

Then, the incident happened. She thought she could handle this esper, who just so happened to have the same power as her, albeit far more powerful. What happened later was the most intense battle of her life, which ended with her wounded, bruised, bloodied and about to be crushed by the building you were lying on, while your suspect escaped. She thought that would be it, she would die.

Then, he appeared, out of nowhere. And saved her by... punching the mass of concrete and rebar that was about to crush them both and the floor they were on. She could've laughed at his attempt, but to her surprise it stopped everything, and it saved her.

She was saved, by this gentleman.

It... stirred something in her heart, a childhood dream she recalled.

'A Knight in shining armor...'

That was a couple months ago. And now Kuroko was on her desk, looking at her phone, thinking about whether to call him or not.

They encountered each other several times after that, and through her observations she came to one conclusion regarding Kamijou-kun.

He wa actually a really good guy.

Apart from the fact that bad things seem to happen to him on a daily basis he wasn't a troublemaker or anything; he just happened to look like one. She did ask why he looked the way he did, and he only said that "he saw his hairstyle in a magazine once."

She could recall just how much she laughed at that, much to the boy's chagrin.

It did strike her odd how gradually she grew fond of him after a couple months; she figured back then she'd never like him for as long as she lived because of her perceived notions about the boy. And now that she knew him quite well, she didn't know what to do.

Here was Judgement's best junior officer, the Teleporter, sitting down squirming in her seat trying to call a guy.

She took a deep breath, and grabbed her phone as she opened the scroll-like device and pressed on the Contacts-

Her phone vibrated, the caller ID shown in text as "Kamijou Touma".

Kuroko internally panicked, but she quickly kept her head on tight, and pressed the Answer button as she brought it to her ear. She was glad she didn't have to call him herself. She opened her mouth to speak but then she heard panting and footsteps, then metal clanging and a female voice yelping at the background.

"Uiharu point in and triangulate Kamijou's position with this call right now. He's with Saten, and they're in trouble."

Uiharu took only a couple seconds until she got the place, and Kuroko Shirai wasted no time as she shifted out of space as she went after Kamijou and Saten.

XxX

"Seriously, what am I going to do with the two of you?"

"Continue to cherish us as good friends?" Kamijou spoke up, cheekily smiling. Saten facepalmed but smiled anyway.

Kuroko glared at Kamijou which made the older boy jumped at the younger girl's stern face, and sighed as he saw her walk over to the unconscious delinquents lying on thr floor, together with Mikoto.

"You just had to say it," Saten said. "Now she'll never give you any time of day."

"Yeah, maybe. At least I still got my gift here in my pocke-" Kamijou said putting his hand into his pocket, only to find nothing. He went to his other pocket; still nothing. He quickly patted himself looking for any pockets he hasn't checked. "...I dropped it."

"...you've got to be kidding me. After all that effort, and you lost it," Saten half-shouted.

"Rotten luck," Kamijou cursed out.

Over at Kuroko's side she quickly pocketed a small box.

She would tell him she has it, but only after day.

She did need to punish the idiot.

Hard.

"...Kuroko why are you drooling?"

Mikoto was confused when Kuroko only winked at her senior.
