Cosmic Love (Nejire Hado x Reader OC)

Who, Me?

     Matthew stood at the front of the room with Shirogane, his face white like a ream of paper as sweat ran down his forehead. How did this happen? This is a sick joke, right? He looked to Togata, who was red in the face trying to suppress his laughter. He looked to Hado next, who was similarly trying to hide a smile. She threw a thumbs-up at him, having to look away lest she lose her composure too. Midnight clapped excitedly; either she was oblivious to Matthew's plight, or simply didn't care.

     "Everyone give a round of applause to your new class representative Shirogane, and your vice representative Clouse!" Matthew looked to Shirogane in desperation, and she too stifled a laugh.

     This sucks.

~~10 minutes earlier~~

     "Good morning class! I have some exciting news for you all; today we're going to be deciding on class representatives!" Matthew turned to Amajiki with a chuckle at the news.

     "Was wondering when we were gonna get around to doing this. Who do you think is gonna get elected?" 

     "I don't know... as long as its not me I don't care..." Amajiki had his head down on his desk like an ostrich, his voice barely above a whisper.

     "I don't think you'll have to worry about that buddy..." Matthew looked across the classroom at Hado, getting her attention with a small wave.

     Who do you think'll get picked? he mouthed. She nodded in front of her at Shirogane and paused for a moment, before pointing back at him. Who, me? She nodded with a laugh. Matthew rolled his eyes, knowing she was just messing with him. All those obnoxious forms and paperwork, why would anyone vote in the only person not fluent in Japanese? Hell, even Taihou had a better grasp on kanji than he did at the time. Matthew's thoughts were interrupted by the crack of Midnight's whip. 

     "Alright everyone, get a piece of paper and write your name at the top. This is gonna be real simple, we're gonna have a single vote so as to not complicate things. The winner gets representative, the runner-up gets vice-rep. The only rule is to not vote for yourself. If anyone would like to make a case for why they should be elected, please come to the front of the room." Yukino was the only one to step up, timidly shuffling out of her seat.

     "I h-happen to be proficient in handling financial documents, so if you'd like t-to elect me I could be of use to the student council. B-but if not, I understand." She bowed quickly and took her seat, Midnight pausing for a moment before resuming her spiel.

     "A-anyways... go ahead and write in your ballot, once you've decided place your ballot on the podium and I'll tally up the votes once I have them all." 5 minutes came and went, Matthew staring at the chalkboard in horror.

     E-eight people voted for me...? Who the...? Why?! He swung his head around to Hado, who was face down on her desk as her body wracked in silent laughter. Don't tell me...

     "And the votes say... 12 for Shirogane, 8 for Clouse, and 1 for Yukino. Shirogane, Clouse, come on up here!" And there he stood, vice representative of Class 1-A. He could always count his blessings, he was only vice-rep at least. It could be worse. It could always be worse.

~~Present~~

     "The rest of the period will be a free period, I'll be honest I was expecting that to take longer. Now you two, here's some forms to fill out. Get these to me by the end of homeroom if you could." Midnight handed the two a piece of paper each, Matthew's face turning even paler. So... much... Kanji... Shirogane noticed his dismayed expression and nudged him with her elbow.
