No Such Thing as Romance (Byakuya Togami x Reader Fanfiction)

Chapter 3

  It had been about a month since you entered Hope's Peak. Besides a few encounters with Byakuya, your school life had been easy-going. Almost boring. 

  You entered the library, unsurprised to see Byakuya reading. Ignoring him, you scanned the bookshelves for anything interesting.

  "Do you come from a rich family?" You hear Byakuya ask.

  Why would he care?  "Yea...well...it's a long story." You turn away from the bookshelf to look at him. His eyes hadn't left his book.

  "Hm. Well, what-"

  He was cut off by the sound of the library doors sliding open suddenly. Mondo stood in the doorway, visibly angry. His eyes were locked on Byakuya.

  "Damn you! I'll make you think twice about where you choose to park your vehicles!" Mondo came charging at him, with intent to harm. His hands were balled up and he was aiming. 

  Despite the confusion, you move quickly to defend Mondo's attacks. 

  You make a barrier between Byakuya and Mondo, causing the bull to slow down.

  "Move, shrimp! I'm gonna teach that blonde bastard a lesson!" He roared.

  Shrimp? I'm really not that short. You position yourself for combat.

  He came at you, aiming punch after punch, but you just continued dodging. Not the most difficult of opponents. You find an open spot and use it to kick him squarely in the stomach. He stumbled a bit, but his inertia kept him from going far. Regardless, it dazed him for a moment. You lunged forward, pulling out your gun. You used the grip panel to hit him on the side of the face, near his brain. A move to knock someone out fast; it was something you had learned a while back. 

  The fight ended as Mondo collapsed. You sighed, wondering what on Earth had gotten into him. After confirming he was still breathing, you gently moved him to the ground.

  "What was that about?" You ask. After wondering why no reply was heard, you turned around.

  Byakuya was silent, stunned. "That was...rather impressive work."

  "Whaaaaat? I do two moves and your jaw drops? That was hardly anything."

  "You had extreme agility and speed when you dodged. Certainly faster than a normal human."

  "Ah, well, thanks." The compliment was surprising, and it made you happy to hear a rude person like him say something positive. "Accurate shooting isn't the only thing I'm good at." Whoops. Might've been a bit cocky there. Oh well. 

  "And why he got so worked up, I have no idea." Byakuya stood up.

  "He said something about where you park your vehicles...?"

  It clicked. "Ah, yes, I see. My limo must've been an inconvenience for him. What a pity." His sarcasm came back. 

  "Why? What'd you do with your limo?" You asked.

  "I just parked it. Or, to be more accurate, I just had my chauffeur park it."

  "Parked it where?" 

  "This isn't an interrogation, alright? Quit asking. I don't recall. Somewhere in the school parking lot." Although he was fed up with your questions, he answered anyway.  

  "Must've blocked his motorcycle or something. Doesn't seem like something you'd hurt a man for, though." You nodded thoughtfully.

  "Yes, well our classmate does have some anger issues. One of his many flaws." 

  "Ah, the insults are back, I see."

  "Shut it." Byakuya began heading towards the door. His facial expression changed, and he hesitated before exiting.

"Sometime...I'd like to see everything you can do. Your fighting is very remarkable." He nodded once, then turned to head to another room.  "Huh..." His words hung around you for a moment. His sudden interest in you was very...odd. "Whatever." 

  You sigh, wondering how you plan to move the biker to his room.
