"We shouldn't be doing this, Kara," I whispered, clinging to his chest.
"The kids won't be here for an hour, my honey~. They'll never see me." He said, kissing my cheek gently.
"My boss is gonna kill me! She'll think we were doing bad stuff." I grumbled crossing my arms. "Plus some of the kids like to be early. What if they walk in in the middle of something! What if they see you-" I was cut off by him grabbing my face, and turning me toward him again.
"Believe me, I think I can take a few hyper children." He chuckled, his free hand guiding me closer to him. I kissed his nose and mumbled,
"Y'know you're getting just a little too cocky. Sometime soon it's going to nip you in the well-sculpted ass."
"Heh, thank you. I have been doing squats."
I literally almost collapsed at the thought of Karamatsu in short shorts doing squats and had to hold onto his shirt in order to stay on my feet. Either way, his knees buckled under the sudden weight, and we fell to the floor, both of us crying out in surprise. He secured me to his chest as I curled up in a ball, and looked around in fear.
"..Fuck," I squeaked, trying to catch up with my mile high heart rate. I tried to pry myself off him but he was already propping me up and looking me over, searching me all over for cuts or bruises.
"Does it hurt anywhere, my angel? Are you alright? Wheres the first aid kit?" He questioned, looking terrified. I didn't even notice he was cradling me like a baby. As if I were some weak little porcelain doll. I waved him off and pushed him away, putting my hands on his chest.
"It's all okay. We're fine. I'm good." I insisted. "Sorry, Kara... that was my fault."
"As you said, it's all okay. But you need to calm down with the cursing." He scolded, holding me close still. "That was terrifying... What was it about? Did you get scared by something?" Karamatsu looked around, wondering what it is that happened.
"I almost died because I imagined how funny it'd be watching you do squats. So please don't put that image in my head again. I might choke on my own laughter." I explained, unable to keep from giggling a little at the silliness of it all.
He fixed my rumpled hair and commented with a weak chuckle, "What a way to die." I realized were still on the ground, and he was still holding me like a baby and opened my mouth to say something. I was unfortunately interrupted by the door opening and Karamatsu standing to attention, with me in his arms.
"Mrs. ...(L/N)?" Came the voice of little Hiro.
"Oh my gosh! I knew it!" Ame screeched, dragging Hiro inside the room behind her. What a time for her to come out of her shell. She went right up to Karamatsu, who towered at least two feet taller than her and squeaked,
"Sir! Nice to meet you! I'm Ame, and I have a few questions for you."
"Wait no-," I began, "please wait outside, he's just visiting-"
"First, question!" Karamatsu looked at me worriedly, then back at Ame, evidently frightened of the small ball of energy. "What is your name, sir?"
He answered nervously.
"Matsuno Karamatsu."
"Well Mr. Matsuno, what is your relationship with my teacher?"
"E-eh?" I looked at Karamatsu desperately. Please don't. This would be hell on earth if the kids told each other that their teacher was being coddled by her boyfriend before class! It would be an unending dungeon of torture. Ame was bound to stockpile crudely scribbled ship-art of us, and I don't think I could handle it.
"Are you two dating!?" She asked again, louder this time.
"Y-yes!" He answered, standing up suddenly much straighter. The little girl looked up at me smugly. Angrily, I narrowed my eyes at her. I knew I was being too easy going with this class. the other children walked in to see Ame interrogating poor Karamatsu. I could tell he was terrified. At least I warned him. I warned him it'd come back and bite him in the butt. The issue was that he was still frozen in place and had no time to obey my panicked orders to set me down before more people or a parent walks in. I remained stuck in place, unable to free myself from the steel bars he called his arms.
I probably looked like a pissed off baby. It wasn't until Ame said,
"That'll be all, you can leave now if you want," that he set me down. The entire class was pestering him now and he was absolutely overwhelmed. It was adorable watching him fidget and look around at all the little humans crowding him. I nudged him as if to say, 'That's what you get for being such a cocky ass hat.' I clapped my hands and all conversation halted.
"Alright everyone, the class is in session and 'Mr. Matsuno' will be leaving now." He sent me a grateful look and edged away from a very hyper Reo. There was a chorus of 'Aww's and poor Kara looked like he was about to pass out from all the attention. He ran to my side like a scared puppy and followed me outside. "I told you so! I told you that you'd regret it, and I was right." I laughed, pointing a finger at him.
"I wasn't aware something so small could be so loud and angry." He whimpered, holding his arms out for a hug. I embraced him and patted his back, murmuring,
"For such a big shot you're such a baby." I felt the soft cotton of his hoodie in my hands as he suggested,
"How about tomorrow I pick you up, and we can just hang out at my house? Most of my brothers will be out doing their own thing." I looked up at him excitedly and nodded.
"I think that sounds wonderful." He kissed me quickly, and ran down the hall, waving.
"Until tomorrow, my (Y/N)!"
I went into the class again and began the hellish day.
