You frowned, running your hands through your hair as you looked at the different array of meats in the supermarket. Though you were shopping for the Home Economics classes you were holding that coming week, your mind was elsewhere.

It had been exactly a month since your students had told you both Asano, the Principle, and Karasuma, your work colleague, liked you. Since that day, you came to work, avoided both of them, taught your lessons and quickly rushed home.

Though, they had both caught onto your strange behaviour. Karasuma confronted you about it and you quickly played it off as nothing, though he didn't believe you.

Asano was different. He hadn't come to see you, hadn't even tried to. Whether or not he actually cared was something you doubted. But it was hard to read whether he cared or not or if he was just trying to give you space to clear your thoughts.

Though... you hadn't really managed to do that. Your students, mainly Karma and Nakamura, would tease you each lesson and without fail your face would flare red. You couldn't figure out whether or not you actually liked them or whether you were just embarrassed, it was... strange.

"You're staring at the meats like they're going to attack you," you turned at the sound of the voice. Asano stood behind you. It was strange... to see him out of school hours. Though, he still had on a smart suit.

"Oh... am I?" you questioned, absentmindedly as the man picked up a packet of beef. He nodded his head once and placed it in his basket.

"You are. Is there anything you're looking for particularly?" he asked as you hummed, looking at the list in your hands.

"Beef, pork, chicken and lamb," you answered as Asano picked up the array of meats you had read out. He placed them into your trolly and gave you a gentle smile, something you weren't used to.

"(L/N), are you alright? You seem to be avoiding me," the older man spoke as you smiled slightly. Something about him suddenly made you feel comfortable.

"My students just put an extremely ridiculous idea into my head, is all," you answered. You weren't lying, but you weren't telling the truth. They had put the idea into your head but you were also avoiding him.

"Which is?" Asano questioned as you looked onto the shelves of the store for a specific brand of Tofu. Your students wanted to test their skills with something they weren't familiar with.

"You and Karasuma appear to like me," you answered with a shrug, picking up a brand of Tofu and reading over the label.

"Oh?" Asano questioned, faking a surprised voice, though you couldn't tell. "And... what if it were true?" he added as you dropped the Tofu and turned to him, a shocked expression on your face.

"W-what?" you stuttered, your face turning red as you quickly bent down and picked the Tofu up. You grabbed a few more packets of it, throwing them into your shopping cart and quickly walking off.

"I-I think I'll be off now. See you at school, Asano," you spoke, but the older man caught your arm gently as you refused to turn around and face him. The taller man lent down towards your ear until you could feel his lips brush against it.

"Just... think about it," he ordered, releasing your arm as you quickly rushed off, your face flaring red.

You sighed as you exited the grocery store and quickly started your, slightly long, walk home. The words Asano spoke to you ran through your head as you frowned.
