Crossdress Love (France x Male! Oc/Reader)(BoyxBoy)

Chapter 5: Helping

*Ichika's P.O.V*

I sighed as class ended. Francis kept glancing at me the entire time. I don't even know why I was acting like this... I mean, just because he was still the same doesn't involve me. Maybe it's because I fell in love with that kind of person all that time ago.

He wasn't exactly like that back then. So... why did he turn out like that?

I shook my head.

"Miss?" asked an cute accented voice.

I looked over to see a blonde male with... HUMOUNGUS! eyebrows.

I blinked a few times and said the first thing that came to my head. "Thick pen."

"Excuse me?" asked the male as his eyebrow twitched.

My face went red and then I quickly bowed multiple times. "Sorry! Sorry! I have this bad habit of saying stuff that passes through my head. It often makes bad first impressions..."

I felt horrible for what I did! I was the worst!

"O-oh," said the English accented male. "I-It's alright. I just had a few questions."

"I'll be happy to answer your questions!" I cheered and smiled.

The Brit blushed slightly and said, "I was wondering if you could explain these few math problems..."

"Yes," I said. "Sorry, but I don't really know your name?"

"It's Arthur," said the boy as he looked away.

I nodded and said, "Mine's Ichika."

I then began to help him. ... He seems really nice! A true gentleman. If only Francis had become like this after all of that time... Wait! What am I saying! I don't need to talk about him any more!

"Hey," said Arthur. "Do you know Francis?"

I looked up at the boy in shock. "W-What are you talking about?"

Arthur sighed. "He's been grumbling and spouting nonsense for a while now. He really seems hooked on you, even though he usually goes after women like Akita-sensei."

"And... You're asking because?" I asked as I tilted my head.

"Personally, I don't really care. I actually find it hilarious seeing him in such an awkward state," said Arthur. "But, I would highly advise you to keep on staying away from."

"You like him or something?"

Arthur shook his head. "I just think that you're a really nice girl, and should be treated as such. Francis only ever takes advantages of the woman."

I nodded and said, "I'll keep this in mind."

Arthur then looked away from me. "He wasn't always like this though. There was one person he cherished more than life itself, but... He acted like an idiot and cheated on them."

I blinked as I stared at Arthur. "How do you know that?"

"I was there for it," said Arthur. "You should have seen him. He came over to my house crying and looking like a bloody idiot."

I giggled.

"He really was an idiot though. I mean, how can you let a person slip out of your life that you've loved for so long," said Arthur. "He really was an idiot."

I nodded my head in agreement. "Sounds like it."

I then helped Arthur with his last problem.

Before he exited the door, he looked back at me and smiled. "Arigato, Ishiro-san."

I nodded and said, "Wel- What are you talking about?!"

Arthur chuckled and said, "You really haven't changed... Actually, your fashion sense has gotten a lot better. You used to wear such tacky clothing that even I had to point it out sometimes."

I then blinked. "I remember you now!"

Arthur anime fell and said, "Now!"

"You were that quirky little kid that always called Francis a frog! Plus, you would wear a cape and say random words that weren't apart of any language!"

"They weren't random words!" exclaimed Arthur. "They were spells! SPELLS! I tell you!"

I giggled and said, "You haven't changed either, Arthur-kun."

Arthur rolled his eyes and said, "Thanks for the help. Now, bye."

I gave a small wave as Arthur left. I then sighed. "He's so grown up... Makes me feel even older..."

I then giggled and packed up my things.

"Did Francis really cry like Arthur said?" I muttered to myself. "Well, whatever the matter, it doesn't concern me anymore! He still hasn't changed! And that was all in the past."

As I walked out of the building, I unconsciously gripped onto my bag.

'If he would have changed after that, would things really be all that different?' I thought as I walked down the sidewalk.

I then felt tears begin to fall. First one, then two, then a waterfall. Why was I slowly falling back? I hated this so much!

I ran home. I sighed as I slid down the door. I got up and went to my fridge. I sighed as I took the beer out. It was my one relief since Akita had banned me from going to bars. She was right... But still.

I only drank one, even though I felt like drinking the whole case. I mean, I still had a job to go to tomorrow.

I sighed as I felt my eyes get heavy after I ate something and took a bath. It was time to sleep. Beautiful, blissful sleep~ Sleep that contained nightmares of my dumb past.

I yawned as the light shined in my face. I went to work and ignored Francis the whole day. It was a very successful day.
