The next morning~

"Hnnn...?" I groaned as I slowly opened my eyes. I snuggled more into the warmth, closing my eyes for a moment before realization struck me on what the warmth was, making my eyes open quickly.
My face turned a deep shade of red before I quickly scooted away from Sebastian's sleeping form. In my panic I fell off his bed, waking Sebastian in the process with all the racket I made.
"What are you doing.....Xander?" Sebastian managed to ask as he yawned in between the question.
"W-w-what am I doing?! W-why are you d-dressed like that?! More importantly, why am I dressed l-like this and s-sleeping in your b-bed?!" I stuttered in complete embarrassment as I looked at our choices in sleep wear. I was wearing one of his large t-shirts that went down to my knees and the sleeves went over my hands with only boxers under the shirt.
Sebastian on the other hand only, had his shorts on.
"You don't remember?" He looked confused as he stretched and got up off the bed.
"R-remember? Remember what?!" I shouted in utter confusion as I tried to recall what happened last night.
"Don't worry. I didn't do anything to you. You fell asleep in the car on the way home so I took you to my house and carried you into my room." He sighed, rubbing the back of his neck as he looked down at me.
"Explain the clothing then!" I countered as my face turned a shade redder at the thought I had.
"I couldn't find your pajamas so I put my t-shirt on you. Plus, you looked so peaceful sleeping that I didn't want to wake you up." He awkwardly laughed a little at the end and scratched the top of his head with his hand.
"It didn't mean you had to change my clothes for me..." I mumbled as I looked down to avert his ever watching eyes. He only smiled at my actions.
"We probably should get ready for school." Sebastian gestured me over and handed me my now clean uniform to put on.
"You cleaned my uniform?" I questioned in curiosity as I unbuttoned the large shirt and slipped on my pants.
"I had to do my own laundry anyways and you didn't have anything else to wear. Even if I didn't need to do laundry I would've let you wear one of mine and bring yours to you the next day." He replied with a smirk, as if I already known he would do that.
"Thanks Sebastian." I smiled sincerely at him in appreciation for his act of kindness towards me. After we got dressed and had breakfast I helped clean up before we headed towards the large wooden doors.
"Shall we go then?" Sebastian gestures me out as he holds the door for me before locking it behind him and getting in the car.

At school~

People stared in awe at the expensive car as he drove up to the gates, dropping me off in front before driving around the corner and parking. As I waited I texted Phantom to tell him I made it to school and that Shadow didn't need to worry. Next thing I know I see Sebastian walking up to my side as we headed through the gates together and to home room. I heard people whispering to each other in the halls as I walked with him to class. I got a lot of glares from people and it made me uncomfortable.
"I-is it normal for people to whisper and stare at you as you go to class." I quietly ask Sebastian as we made our way through the slightly crowded halls. He looked down at me in confusion before looking around at the people on the sidelines. After a moment he narrowed his eyes a little bit before looking at me and placing his hand on my back, pushing me to go a little bit faster as if he was guarding me from someone.
"Don't let it concern you Xander." He replied in a serious yet alert sounding tone as he watched the people around us carefully.

*RINNNG*

The bell to third period rang. Signaling that it was almost time to leave. I was in my third period culinary arts class. I was picked for clean up duty so I stayed a few minutes after class to clean up the last of the utensils left out on counters before heading to gym. While washing up the last the dishes, I reached over to grab a knife laying by the stove, only to get the back of my hand burned on the burner that was left on, making me drop the blade on the tile floor. I cupped my burnt hand in the other and held it close to my chest.
"Shit! That really hurt..., at least it's not a bad burn." I mumbled to myself before picking up the knife and placing it on the counter. Turning on the sink, I put the burned hand under the cool running water. While tending to the burn I over hear some girls gossiping about Sebastian.
"Did you hear what happened today?! She asked him out!" The first girl said as she used hand movements to empathize the information she gave the others.
"Omg! Really?! What did he say to her?! I thought he was with the nerd boy from home room? What's his name, Xander I believe?" The second girl cried out as she analyzed the new information given to her by her friend.
"I heard that he was just using the boy to make her jealous." Another girl with red hair added as they talked about him.
"She's perfect for him compared to the loser he's been hanging out with." The first girl with blonde hair replied. I didn't want to hear any more of it so I grabbed my bag and rushed out the door.
