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

Chapter 6

  The burrito of sheets tumbled out of your bed and made it's way to the bathroom. 

  Farewell, my good friend. You bid a tearful goodbye as you leave the sheets and toss them back to the bed. The cold chill made you shiver, which was some motivation to get ready faster.

   You locked the door to your dorm and headed for Byakuya. It was 7:02. 

 "7 AM. Don't be late." You mimicked what he had said to you last night as he opened the door. 

   "Whatever. Let's go." His mood had returned to regular old Byakuya. 

   "Yea, sure thing. What do you plan to do today?" 

   "...I'm not sure yet. For now, breakfast."

   You follow him to the cafeteria. After retrieving some food, you sat down at one of the smaller tables. 

  "Listen." Byakuya watched the flow of incoming students.

  "Yeah?"

  "You're my bodyguard. Nothing more. Understand?" 

  "Absolutely." You smiled, realizing his wish to keep your relationship secret.

  You sank a bit when you saw Toko enter.

  Oh, yea, don't mind me. I'm just your crush's lover. 

  She spotted you immediately. "Y-you scoundrel! Get away from Master Byakuya right now!" 

  You were about to say something, but Byakuya spoke first.

  "Toko."

  "Y-yes?" 

  "Do not insult, attack, speak to, or even approach my bodyguard without permission, understand?" 

  The cafeteria suddenly got quiet. It seemed the students had heard Byakuya's order. 

  "Bodyguard?" Makoto was the first to speak. 

  Byakuya turned. "Is that a problem?" 

  "I wonder who in their right mind would work for someone like him." Celeste said monotonously.

  "For your information, I like this job!" You defended yourself. "It's not everyday you come across a salary like mine." You could care less about the money, but you wanted to sound cool. 

  "He probably bribed you to say that." Kyoko said. 

  "Tch. You're just jealous." You retorted. 

  "Jealous of him? Puh-leez." Hina said.

  "Admit it. Anyone would be." Byakuya replied. 

  Wooo, go Byakuya! 

  "Classmates! To prevent further arguing, I suggest we end this conversation!" Kiyotaka shouted. 

  Darn. It was getting good, too. 

  "Byakuya, we should get going anyways." 

  "Yes, let's go."

  You held the door open for Byakuya, looking back at your classmates. You made eye contact with Toko. She didn't look happy. You smirked, then shut the door. 

  "So...where now?" you asked. 

  "I suppose I could work on a couple things concerning the company, but they aren't too important right now. I can do them later."
