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

Chapter 5

  The following day, you hear your doorbell ring as you attempt to wake up. Really? It's 7 AM. I can't even function right now.

  You stagger to the door, taking the sheets with you. The dorms were always so darn cold in the morning. You open the door to Byakuya. Aw, crap.

  "You're not even dressed yet? Seriously..." He sighed.

  "Byakuya. It is 7 in the morning. My brain isn't activated yet. Please try again at another time." You begin to close the door, but he stops it. 

  "C'mon. You read the contract. Get dressed and follow me." 

  Unfortunately, he was right. "Yea, fine, I'll be there in a bit."

  You began throwing on something more formal as you scurried to the bathroom. You hurriedly washed your face, brushed you hair and your teeth all at once. Hell yeah, Ultimate Multitasker!

  Shaking yourself awake, you opened the door again. 

  "Took you long enough."

  "Oh please. I get ready faster than the average teenage girl, for your information."

  "Yeah, do you google this stuff?" 

  "No, but since I don't use makeup often it takes a lot less time."

  "Oh yes, that natural beauty is such a helper in the morning." He said.

  You were unable to tell if the comment was sarcastic or not.

  The two of you entered the cafeteria. The only one present was Kiyotaka. 

  "Good morning! Do you have anything on your agenda?" He asked.

  "None of your concern." Byakuya walked past him.   

  Kiyotaka fell silent.

  You followed Byakuya to the kitchen, where he began preparing coffee. 

  "Don't stand around. Get something to eat."

  "Yes, right, okay." You popped bread into the toast and shoved down the lever. 

  The only noise was of the steaming coffee pot and the quiet hum of the toaster. 

  The toast flew out of the machine, and you quickly caught it before it had time to land. "Goodness, what a dramatic toaster." You nibble the toast. 

  A few minutes later, you follow him into the library. He walked along the shelves and scanned for a good book. Upon finding some novel, he sat at the desk and was instantly enveloped. 

  Really? How long am I going to have to wait here?  You considered picking up a story to pass the time, but the only titles you saw were fancy authors that didn't interest you. 

  Five minutes passed. 

  "Byakuya! This is so boring! Are you done yet?" You complained.

  "It's been a few minutes. Learn to wait."

  "I have waited. And now I'm done waiting. I want to go do something. Besides, it's not like some assassin is going to waltz inside the library. I think you're overreacting."

  He sighed.

  "You really think the only reason you're in here is so that you can protect me?"

  "Well, yea, why else?"

  "...Nevermind."

  What?!

  "And no, we're not leaving." Byakuya said.
