Teen Romance (Toge Inumaki X Reader)

2

Still very tired you woke up from the annoying sound of the alarm. You made your way to the bathroom and took a quick shower.

Today you were going to train with your new classmates for the first time, you didn't expect it to be any different than before.

You quickly got ready for the day and went to have breakfast with the others. There was a long table in the room, at which almost everyone from yesterday was sitting. You looked around the room, searching for the white-haired boy. You didn't realize that you wanted to see him until you noticed he wasn't there.

You went to the counter on which there were empty plates and cutlery. You took a plate "Kelp!" you were startled when you heard Inumaki saying from behind you.

You turned to him and clumsily dropped the plate. The plate fell between you and broke into small and large pieces.

"Oh shit." you mumbled to yourself and knelt down to clean up the mess. You reached out to a larger piece of porcelain and Inumaki tried to pick it up too, slightly your hands touched each other. Your eyes went up to Inumaki's face, who was already looking at you. You noticed how his cheeks turned red and he looked away.

"Sorry." you awkwardly said to him as you threw out the pieces you had collected in the trash can. He only nodded and sat next to Maki.

You took a sandwich and a glass of orange juice and sat in the empty seat next to the Nobara. It was easy for you to join their conversation as they were all very friendly and wanted to get to know you. You exchanged numbers, and together with the other second-years, you went to your classroom.

You were scolding yourself because you managed to embarrass yourself in front of Toge. Also, you were scolding yourself because you cared about what Inumaki was thinking about you. You wanted him to like you, not to think you a clumsy fool.

You met your teacher Atsuya Kusakabe. He decided to take today's lesson outdoors to the training field. You were going to train hand-to-hand combat, with only using cursed tools. You were assigned to train with Maki.

Your teacher decided that today you will start with small weapon, that's why you both were holding knifes. Maki was standing confidently in front of you a few meters away. Kusakabe, Panda and Inumaki sat on the stairs and watched you. Inumaki was manspreading, leaning slightly back on his hands. You didn't know why, but you found that very attractive.

Inumaki's eyes narrowed and wrinkles formed around them, he was smiling at you. This was his way of wishing you good luck.

But he didn't bring you good luck, but rather the opposite. You got distracted and it was in favor of Maki who attacked you, knocking you to the ground, her knife pressed to your throat.

With a shock that was read from your eyes, you looked at her. At the moment you were so happy that the knives were made of wood.

"Come on (y/n), show me what you got!"the girl, which was on top of you, pressed her knife harder, making you groan in pain.

"Uh." with a swift motion you hit her with the back of your knife in the middle of her neck. Her grip around you loosened and you managed to kick her off of you.

She quickly got back on her feet and you continued fighting. The purpose of the training was to leave the opponent without a weapon.

You were a good fighter, but Maki was better. As you tried punching her she dodged it and kicked you in the stomach. You staggered backwards and fell on your back, hitting your head on the soft grass, which did not seem very soft to you. You felt a hot stream of blood flowing down from your nose. You wiped it off with the same hand in which you were holding the knife. Maki kicked your hand and the weapon slipped between your fingers and fell next to you. You reached out to pick it up, but Maki stepped on your hand and pushed you. You fell backwards and she put her knife to your throat.

Your audience ran towards you and told you to stop. Maki stood up and gave you a hand so that you could stand up too.

"Mustard leaf?" with concern in his eyes, Inumaki handed you a handkerchief to wipe the blood from your face.

"I'm fine, thank you." you smiled lightly at him as you took the handkerchief. You felt proud of yourself, because you managed to understand what Toge was trying to say.

"Tuna tuna!" he pointed at your face.

"Sorry what? I don't understand." you raised an eyebrow.

With a sigh Toge pulled out another handkerchief. With his free hand he brushed away the hair strands that were falling on your forehead and with the handkerchief he carefully started cleaning the blood on your forehead. You felt a strange feeling down in your stomach. You didn't think much of it though, it was probably because Maki hit you really hard there. You watched Toge closely, but when he took his concentrated gaze away from your forehead and looked into your eyes, you got shy and stuck your gaze in your feet. You felt your cheeks burning.

Inumaki let go off of you and took a step back. You found courage and looked at him again. He smiled at you and gave you thumbs up.

"Thank you, Inumaki." you returned the smile and he nodded in response.

You noticed how Maki was leaning on Panda's shoulder and they stared at you with big smirks on their lips. You turned your head to face Inumaki again. Now he was staring at his feet, hiding his face, but you noticed the tips of his ears were red. He was blushing too.

"I ship." Panda winked at you, making you blush harder.

At that moment you wanted to fake your death, change your name, delete all social media and run away.

Luckily, before you got the change to do all that your teacher saved you "That's enough you guys. Panda Inumaki you're up." Kusakabe handed them the knives and you made your way to the stairs.

You sat down and hid your head in your hands, but after calming down a little, you looked up at the field. At least now you could stare at Inumaki without someone thinking much of it.
