Ichimatsu + Nightshade

When Ichimatsu was a child, he didn't really think about things like falling in love. Sure, him and his brothers a bit of an unanimous crush on their childhood friend, Totoko, but the thought of her didn't keep him up at night.

In high school him and his brothers grew separate, and Ichimatsu often isolated himself. He focused on his work, and didn't interact with his classmates as he just couldn't bring himself to say anything. Because of this his time at school was very lonely, and he tried to convince himself he'd be better off by himself. 

Work in class was fine, he could manage by himself. Which was good, as his tired, half lidded look didn't encourage many  people to partner with him on projects.  His teacher must have noticed this as she decided to have partners for some homework Ichimatsu didn't really care about. He didn't particularly care for his teacher trying to baby him like this either.

At least this was what he told himself when she announced it. When a girl who he knew as Y/n sat down next to him, he wanted to kick himself for it being so easy to change his mind. 

She turned to him, giving him a greeting. 

"Looks like you're stuck with me, huh? Sorry!" 

He nodded, looking away. 'Why are you saying that? You're the unlucky one.'

The teacher clapped her hands to get everyone's attention. She started to explain what they'd be doing, but even if Ichimatsu wanted to listen, he couldn't if this girl was next to him like this.

He was starting to go into a daze when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He jumped slightly, turning his head. She as looking at him curiously.

"Matsuno-kun? Were you listening?" She asked.

He hesitated then shook his head. If he lied he'd end up looking like an idiot.

She only smiled at him, causing him to look to the side.

"That's okay, our teacher does drone on a bit. We're actually doing stuff for the environment, like picking up rubbish and watering flowers." She explained.

Seeing Ichimatsu's puzzled face made Y/n giggle a bit. 

"I know, it's a bit strange. Still, it won't be too hard." She said in a positive tone, causing him to sigh. 

"Let's just get it over with." He muttered, not planning for her to actually hear. 

When she answered, he jumped again. "Yeah. Hopefully we'll at least have fun with it." 

'Fun? Hah, good luck having that with me.' He thought to himself.

Class ended and the both of them were given a sheet of things to do. Apparently different groups had different things on them. On their own, it said that they'd be cleaning the streets. Great. 

On the bright side, this meant stray animals wouldn't get hurt, so he didn't mind too much. Y/n turned to him, holding out a bin bag. Ichimatsu looked at it questionably.

"The teacher had these at the front. We'll be needing them."

She was right, as the streets were littered with more rubbish than he thought. There was cans that still had leftover coke in them that had been lying for days, filling Ichimatsu with disgust when some nearly spilled on him. 

Soon evening came around and the sky got dark. Ichimatsu and Y/n had overflowing bags of rubbish, struggling to keep the contents from spilling. 

They disposed of them quickly, and all was left was to go back home.
