"So even after that kingdom collapsed, the Nav is still there. I still don't understand how this works..." I whispered to myself as I looked at the ominous reddish and black app that was still placed on my phone. Whatever it is, I'm grateful for it. I sighed lightly as I threw my head back waiting for the train to Kosei to arrive.

The longer I sat the more I thought about Yusuke and where he was. Usually when it's my day to go to Kosei he's here before me; just standing there and people watched for a bit. My mind began to wander into all different types of subjects until I fell asleep to pass time.

"Y/n, it's dangerous to fall asleep out in the cold like this. I also don't want you missing the train." I groan and my eyes fluttered open seeing a smiling bluenette. "Sorry, I had to pull an all-nighter to finish up some essays for Shujin and an artists statement for Kosei. So I'm not the most wide awake person." I gave a cheeky smile as I rubbed my neck as Yusuke gave a low groan and his face contorted into disappointment "Yusuke?" I tilted my head a bit in confusion wondering why the sudden face and change in demeanor? "I don't mind the fact that your working hard but you need to rest as well." Yusuke gently grabbed my hand and dragged me onto the train that was beginning to fill up. Luckily, were able to secure a seat-just one.... "Yusuke, you sit down and I'll stand." "No. There isn't enough room for either of us to stand." Yusuke wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me down so I sat on his lap making me squeal a bit in surprise in the sudden action he took. "Y-Yusuke! What the hell?!" I stammered and started moving around but his grip got tighter as he groaned. I turned a bit and seen that his eyes were closed and that his face was buried into my back.

"Unbelievable. 'I don't mind the fact that you're working hard but you need rest', Tch." "I hope you aren't mocking me Y/n." Ice cold eyes glanced up at me and I glared back at them. "If I am? I'm sure you won't do anything." "It seems you still underestimate me." A small chuckle erupted from his throat, this time it wasn't the frosty weather that sent chills up my spine-it was his demeanor.

He knew that I was caught off guard so he squeezed my side causing me squeak again but I covered my mouth just in time. I began to feel the burning stares of others look at the both of us as well as my burning blush that flooded my cheeks. "Yusuke stop..!" I warned and his lips pressed against my neck softly and whispered in my ear "I'm sure you won't do anything about this." He smiles lightly as he pulled away "Are you mocking me you prick?!" "Y/n, please try to calm your anger I'm attempting to sleep." I groaned and as I turned back around he was fast asleep, this was going to be a long ride.

Once we both had arrived at Kosei Yusuke and I bowed to eachother and had said our goodbyes. I sighed as I had put my belongings in the classroom and had took off my to put my smock on. I tied my hair up and put the rest of my belongings into my locker and proceeded to head to my work station.

The class was said to work on a huge mural to add color to the Commons area, it was a great idea and a way for the class to add all artistic values to the painting. It was fun letting everything in my mind goes and burst into colors on a mural. Anything my mind can come up with on the spot I just place on the mural.

As hours started to pass, I breathed a content sigh as I seen that my work was almost complete and I smiled once I realized that. I wiped my face off that was beaded with sweat and began to pick up paint cans and brushes that some students had left behind, I was always the last one in the classroom to clean up. I heard the door slide open "I'll be out in a moment Sensei! I just had to clean these brushes and paint trays people left behind." I chimed as my hands ran through the warm water and soap cleansing all the wet paint off.
