Take a Stand [Mori X Reader]

Chapter Three

Echoing Voices

        During your last period, you sensed the ending of class approaching.  Deciding to check the time, you looked around the room to discover that the clock was out for repair. 

        Sighing to yourself, you noticed that Takashi wore a watch on his left wrist.  You grabbed his wrist and turned it toward you to see the time.  Just as you suspected: the end of the day was near.

        Takashi gave you a strange look as you gave him his wrist back.  You ignored the look and began packing your things.  The moment you placed your book in the bag, the universal End-of-Class sound could be heard throughout the entire academy.

        Swinging your bag on your back, you left the classroom.  Nearly everyone in the school had the same bag.  A black bag that looked similar to a briefcase.  With the male uniform being a spiffy-looking suit, the briefcase style bag made the guys seem like lawyers.  You looked at your own bag; it was the only different one.  You preferred the style with two straps that allow it to be worn on the back with comfort.

        You had walked about halfway down the hallway when you felt a sudden extra weight appear on your back.  After getting over the initial shock, you realized how heavy it was.  You slumped forward and almost fell over.

        "Wait!"  A voice called in your ear.

        You quickly recognized the high pitched voice as Mitsukuni's.

        "O-oh, uh, Mitsukuni!"  You yelped in surprise.   "Could you please get off?  You're kind of heavy and I'm really weak."  You requested.

        He apologized as he jumped off your back.  You felt your backpack straps become lighter and you hoped he hadn't broken them.

        He walked in front of you to speak, "No one really calls me Mitsukuni except for Takashi."  The small blond raised an eyebrow at you.

        "Oh, sorry.  Mitsukuni is the only name I know you by."  You admitted.

        He gave you a wide closed-eye smile, "I like you; I think you're special, so you can call me Mitsukuni."  He beamed.

        I don't know what else he wanted me to call him, but okay...

        "Takashi likes having you as a friend~!"  He chimed

        "That so?"  You responded absentmindedly.  He thinks of me as a friend?

        "Oh! I almost forgot!"  Mitsukuni exclaimed as he grabbed your lower arm, forcing you to bend over to his height awkwardly.  "Kyo-chan wants to talk to you~!"

        He began to drag you down the hallway.  As he ran, you were forced to uncomfortably hunch over.

        "Who?"  You questioned.  "Who wants to talk to me?"

        You glanced behind you and saw Takashi following behind, looking as stoic as ever.  You looked forward again to see that Mitsukuni had brought you to the "abandoned" music room.  Music Room 3.  The only classroom in the school that every person in the school knows of.

        Mitsukuni brought you into the room and dragged you up to someone with black hair whose back was turned. 

        "She's all yours, Kyo-chan~."  The boy sang before running off.

        The male turned around and you got a good look at him.  His black hair was longer than Takashi's, but still at an appropriate length.  He also had onyx eyes like Takashi, but his were covered by a pair of glasses.
