Just a Fairytale [Kuroko Tetsuya x Reader x Nijimura Shuzo]{KnB}

[H.21] High School: Diary Entry Twenty One

School finally ends after a long and strenuous day. You feel mentally fatigued and more than ready to see Kuroko again. Just as you predicted, you hadn't been able to talk to him all day. The entire school was in an uproar with the new teacher with first and seconds years arriving at your classroom to inspect the man's beauty.

Aya especially was crying out her frustrations during lunch. If only she had worked a bit harder, she would have remained in your class and witnessed this fine specimen of a man (her words, not yours). Thankfully, the man didn't try to act friendly around the students. He kept to himself and didn't entertain any questions regarding his personal life.

However, that only fueled the flames more. He was dubbed the mysterious, handsome teacher. The school's administration had found the girl's infatuation quite comical; they must feel secure in the man's ability to refrain from school girls.

As you walk towards the school gates, you spot your teacher glancing around the gates. It's school policy for teachers to guard the gate for any lecherous men, and it appears that he was tasked with that responsibility today. Keeping to yourself, you travel past the man as you exit the school premises.

"Oh, [Name]." You freeze at his words and hesitantly give him your attention, bowing slightly when he approaches. "Can you tell me where the nearest bookstore is?"

"I thought you were on guard duty," you mumble out.

You grip your bag as you watch him carefully. "Ah, I am, but I just wanted to read a book once I finish up."

It's an innocent enough question, and you try your best to answer with an even tone. "It's on the next street over there. The window has a cat holding books." You point to your left and Ikeda-sensei gazes into the distance.

"I see, a cat huh... I'll be sure to visit that place later. Thanks." With the wave of his hand, he shoos you away and you do just that. Another bow, and you hastily make way past the horde of girls.

You travel swiftly towards the ice cream parlor not far from your school. Once you make it inside, you see Kuroko already ordering your share of ice cream. "Tetsuya," you greet him from afar.

The boy turns and faces you with a smile. "How was your day?" He hands you a cone, and your first instinct is to kiss his cheek. Usually, you dug into your food but right now you crave skinship. Kuroko sends you a questioning look, and you avoid it by eating your ice cream.

"Do you want to sit inside?"

You shake your head.

He knows that you need some time to talk and snakes his hand into yours. "Okay, let's walk home then."

Nodding your head, you follow his lead once more into the outside world. The sidewalk is busier than usual since school has started again; students flock to their favorite areas to catch up with their friends while others rush to get home. Kuroko has his hold on you tight, making sure to keep you firmly at his side.

Once you two make it to a more secluded area, you begin to walk to the train station together. "Do you want to hear about my day?" Kuroko finally speaks up.

You're almost finished with your ice cream, and you nod your head.

"I have Kagami in my class again, it makes me happy. The majority of my teammates are also there," he recounts his day. "I had the bento my mother made me for lunch--"

"Your mother made you one?!"

"Yes, she had a bit of time to cook yesterday night, so I had leftovers today."

"I see, I see."

"And now Coach made us a guideline of training for the next tournament. Starting tomorrow, it's going to be tough to see each other," he states with a sad smile.

"I'll cheer you on as much as possible!" you gasp. "M-Maybe I can make you some bento if you'd like."

Kuroko's eyes widen. "Are you sure?"

Your enthusiasm returns at the thought of it. "Yup! I already make mine! Adding another serving should be nothing! I'll even add a little extra just in case Kagami steals from you."

Kuroko chuckles, "If you would, then thank you."

"Of course!"

"So how was your day?"

Your excitement vanishes at the thought of your first day back. "O-Oh... Well, I didn't expect to have a male teacher," you sigh. "My entire school is going crazy over him since he's young."

"I'm sure you can handle him," Kuroko squeezes your hand gently to reassure you.

"Y-Yeah, he isn't really interested in the girls. It looks like he's there to earn a paycheck then go home," you force out a laugh.

"Don't worry about him so much, [Name]," Kuroko smiles. "He's your teacher, nothing more."

His comment eases your nerves, and you try to find some security in his confidence in you. If he believes in you, so should you.

Having no need to continue talking about your teacher, you grin up at your boyfriend. "So, what exactly do you like in your bento?"
