Underneath the Moonlight: REBOOT! || Osorō Shidesu x OC

33 - Who's The Cutest Couple At Akademi?

Week 7

The results of the photoshoot the next day shocked everyone at Akademi Academy, me especially.

Osorō and I ranked number one, visually. Seemed like Fureddo really liked photographing us together — there were ten photos of us posted in total. My jaw dropped when I saw them. I was quick to save each one during the limo ride home.

"Damn," Aru commented. "You two really do look good together, though."

I giggled. "Don't we?"

Ranking number one on which couple would make the most sense was Kizano and I, the reason being that we were in the same club and were lead roles in the play together. Ranking number one on the most charming pair was Aso and I. Number one on the sweetest couple was Amao and I (no surprise there), and number one on unexpected pairing was... Taro-senpai and I.

I gulped when I saw that, just knowing Ayano would use that as fuel against me.

As I expected, a pink note fluttered out of my locker — two, in fact. The first one I picked up was from Ayano.

How dare you touch my Senpai.

I shivered. I didn't ask him to come to the photoshoot!

The second one, however, was from Osorō.

Guess we're the cutest couple at school ;) meet me in the maze, doll — O

I giggled, pocketing his note and crumpling Ayano's, tossing it into the nearest garbage can. That's right, I thought as I headed towards the hedge maze. As long as I have Osorō, Ayano can't touch me. I'm safe.

I walked into the center of the hedge maze to find Osorō, staring at his nails as he waited for me. Once I appeared, his face visibly brightened. "There ya are, doll."

He approached me, and met me halfway for a kiss, his hand resting gently around my chin as he kissed me. When he pulled away, I smiled at him. "So I guess you saw the school blog?"

"Yep," he said, nodding. "I hate seeing ya photographed with those other guys, but we're the only ones who had ten photos posted, so honestly? I ain't worried. You're mine already, anyways."

I giggled. "That I am."

He kissed me again, for longer this time. His hand gently tangled into my hair, and I gripped his uniform's tie, pulling him closer and deepening our kiss. Our lips moved in sync, and he whispered into my mouth, "Come over after school?"

"Okay," was all I could manage to whisper back as his lips left mine and trailed down my neck, peppering kisses on his way to my collarbone. He brushed my shirt out of the way, lowering it until he could suck on my skin, leaving a mark.

"Alright," he said, grinning at me. "Now I'm ready for class."

"I'm not," I said as I pulled him in for another kiss, not completely satisfied yet. He let out a hum of delight as he kissed me back.

A second later, the school bell rang, and I hissed, "Crap!"

We ran towards the school, hurrying to the second floor. When we entered the classroom, late for class, Sensei Rikitake sternly scolded us, "You two are late. Take your seats and open your textbooks to page 104."

We bowed and muttered our apologies as we took our seats. Everyone in our class was staring at us as we sat down, and I became acutely aware of the attention bouncing between Osorō and I. After all, everyone else had seen the school blog, too — they must've been curious about us, wondering if maybe there really was something between us.

I snuck my phone underneath my desk to send Osorō a quick text.

Me: We might have to be more careful at school from now on.

Secret Softie is typing...

Secret Sofie: understood, doll.

I slipped my phone back into my pocket, just as it vibrated again with another text.

Secret Softie: but not over text, right? ;)

Me: Of course not, haha

Giggling as I put my phone away again, I focused on class again, scribbling in my notebook as I followed along with the lesson.

At lunchtime, someone came up to me and said, "Athena-sama, I saw someone leave a note in your locker. I think you should go check it."

I frowned. "Really? Okay."

I grabbed my bento box and headed downstairs to my shoe locker to check it. As the boy had said, a pink note fluttered to my feet, and I picked it up to read it.

Meet me in the storage room in the gymnasium — O

My heartbeat raced. How did Osorō get here so fast to leave this note for me? I wondered, but decided to go and meet him anyway, my heart pounding in my chest. He probably wanted to continue our make out session from earlier.

As I entered the gymnasium, however, an eerily silence followed me. I headed towards the storage room and entered to find no one inside. "Osorō?" I called out. "Where are you?"

I yelped as a hand clamped over my mouth, and a funny sensation suddenly filled my veins, and I could feel my eyelids growing heavier by the second.

"Oso... rō..." I muttered, feeling incredibly sleepy all of a sudden.
