Numb

A Piece of Cake

"Alright class! We're baking a red velvet cake today! I'll be assigning you all partners to help you bake your cake. This'll be a huge part of your grade, so please do not mess this up or your grade will suffer tremendously. Now, here are your partners! Kou Yaten and Minako Aino ..."

I waited with bated breath. Hoping with everything in my being that I dont get partnered up with the girl (Yuriko?) who was literally undressing me with her eyes from across the room. Her tongue coming out every few seconds to trace across her lipstick-covered lips.

A look of disgust graced itself upon my face when she winked at me and inched her skirt even higher than it already was.

Please don't let it be her ... please let it be Odango .... Odango, Odango, ODANGO!

And then the fateful moment finally arrived ...

"Kou Seiya and ..."

My teeth clenched themselves tightly. My face scrunched up in a grimace in case Im stuck with Yuriko(?) or one of my past flings.

Odango, Odango, Odango, Odango, Odango, O-DAN-GO!!

"... Usagi Tsukino ..."

"Huh?" muttered Odango from her place beside Aino-san, who nudged her awake and gestured over to me while whispering something in her ear that earned a look of disgust from Odango.

I smirked at her, blowing her a kiss and winking at her.

A cute blush bloomed across her cheeks as they puffed up. She turned away from me with a huff, nose held high, her lips pouty.

I want nothing more than to claim those lips with my own to learn their taste and softness at that moment.

She must of seen something close to attraction on my face because her blush deepened even more as she sat next to me a few minutes later.

I barely held in my repulsion at how Yuri(?) kept on eyeing my groin and licking her lips at me. I wanted nothing more than to either shove myself inside of the oven that Odango and I would be using for our cake, or throw myself out the window in hopes that I'd land right on my feet.

"You have an hour to bake your cake and decorate it. Don't forget that this makes up most of your grade ..."

Rolling my eyes, I turned my attention onto Odango and the task at hand. "Aren't you glad that you're partnered with a cool guy like myself?" I teased, starting to crack eggs for our cake.

Odango scoffed, "As if I'd say such a thing. " Then she grabbed the batter and dumped it in to the bowl. Her eyes skimmed over the directions on the back of the box for the rest of the ingredients as I added two eggs to the mix.

"We need some water ... and cooking oil ... Or is it only water ..." Odango murmured, scratching the side of her head before letting out a sound of annoyance.

"I'm so confused!" She finally exclaimed un frustration, shoving the box to me.

I chuckled and read over the instructions, "We use both oil and water in the mix as well as eggs, then we mix it all together. Don't forget to pre-heat the oven at 350° before we put the cake in."

She let out a hum, seeming to be distracted by something on my face.

I raised an eyebrow at her dazed expression, before I realized she was staring at my lips. A smirk made a reappearance on my face as I purred to her, "Would you like a good luck kiss before we finish our cake?"

Another blush sprang across her face as she glared at me, swatting my arm. "Pervert!" she declared, then moved to pre-heat the oven.

I laughed to myself as I went to work adding the rest of the ingredients for our cake and mixed it up. Once mixing it up, I put it in two pans and placed them inside the oven.

Now that that's done, time for Odango and I to talk.

Putting on my best sexy look, I turned around in hopes of charming Odango with my looks only to find her sleeping away at our table.

I shook my head and sat across from her. Leaning my elbows, I propped my face up with my right hand as I watched over her.

Minutes passed by as we (at least myself) waited for our cake to be done. My curiosity peaking at a high level from how Odango kept murmuring and squirming in her seat.

I wonder what she was dreaming about and if it were me in them, but that could just be wishful thinking on my part.

However, I could have sworn that I heard her whisper my name a few times as well as I few sounds that sounded oddly like whimpers and moans of pleasure.

I reached over to brush a few strands of her hair away from her face when ...

"KOU-SAN! TSUKINO-SAN! The cake!"

"GAAAAAHHHHH!" shrieked Odango as she bolted up from the chair in surprise.

I immediately sprung into action by grabbing a nearby fire extinguisher and using it to put out the flames.

I could have sworn that I heard my conniving brother and his crush were heckling at the back of the classroom somewhere. I'm so going to kill him later, but first ...

"Kou-san! Tsukino-san! Out in the hallway! NOW!" screeched our home ED teacher after I was done putting out the fire.

Rolling my eyes for the umpth time today, I took my exit from the classroom with a flushed Odango.

We stood outside of the classroom in silence for a few seconds before Odango broke it.

"Anou I'm sorry, Seiya " murmured Odango, refusing to meet my eyes, "We're most likely going to get a failing grade and detention for causing a fire in there "

I shrugged off my jacket and sat it on the floor. "It's ok. It was mostly my fault for getting distracted by something worth looking at. Now sit down, " I reassured her with a faint smile.

Odango scowled, "But I'll dirty up your jacket."

I couldn't help but snort at that. "As if I can't wash it later, but for now my Odango-hime needs to rest her lovely bottom, " I dismissed breezely.

She eyed skeptically, she sat her cute butt on my jacket. "Are you sure?"

My face softened gradually as my heart sang at just the sight of her sitting comfortably on my jacket. A wide-eyed look and a gasp came from her when she gazed up at me.

"I'm sure of it. I'll always will be when it comes to you. I'd do anything for you, Odango; Anything, " I declared with finality that had her staring up at me in shock.

"Seiya " She whispered, her face shoning with new emotions.

I opened my mouth to say something more, but decided against it and looked away with a flush and scratch to my head.

Odango turned her face away as well, a flush upon her face that had me wondering what exactly was going through her mind right now.

Silence stretched on between us as one thought resonated within my mind.

Does she really feel that way about me?

I shook my head, smacking my forehead. "No way! I'm so stupid!" I murmured to myself.

Odango nibbled at her bottom lip. "Maybe, but I don't know how to approach him about it. Especially since he's probably already got a lover but it's worth a try " I heard her murmuring.

Our eyes met with such intensity that it shook our very cores.

"Odango "

"Seiya "

I sighed, "Do you have -?"

Our moment was broken when the classroom door flung open and our teacher stormed out to deliver our death sentence.

Maybe another time was my last thought as our teacher started to screech and scream at us about our recklessness and many other things that went over both our heads as my hand somehow found hers without my knowledge till our lecture was over.
