Female Teacher X Student

Chapter 2 - Great

AIKO POV

"I'm sorry, since today is friday, do you think you would want to stay at my house until tomorrow and I'll walk you to where you'll get a new key?".

"S-stay at your place"? I went crazy even thinking of the idea. I look at him and he didn't even flinch. "If that's to much for you, I can always get you a hotel room for the night", he asked straightforwardly. "No no no, that's fine. I don't want to put any more burden on you then necessary. I'll find a way don't worry about me". I try to give a convincing smile but I can tell he wasn't buying it. Quickly I try to get up and it's like I just bumped into a brick wall and it sits me right back down. "Look Ms. Aiko, a drunkard just tried to rape you tonight. If you think that I'm that little of a man to let a beautiful lady like you wonder these streets and midnight, then your wrong". He said it so firmly, my face turned tomato red as I quickly glanced down to not show him. "What about your parents though", I say trying to pull a counter argument. "They don't live with me", he says kind of coldly. For some odd reason, I could see a hint of sadness behind his expression. "W-well, okay", as I'm getting up he gestures for me to get on his back. "N-n-no I'm fine, I can walk you know", damn that stutter. "Come on its fine", he says back. "I know you try to put on this tough act around people, but your not as brave as you give off. Even though we might not know each other well, I'll let you cry on my shoulders". Damn those words alone are enough to bring me to tears, I thought. I still insist on walking until he glares at me. Me being me, I turn away first and hop in his back. "It's quite a walk anyway, I'm pretty sure you are already tired from running". "Well, what about you, weren't you the one literally jogging", I giggle thinking about it. "Well I would say I'm in shape so I'm fine", he says as he hooks his hands around the bottom of my legs. We start walking now and I lay my head on his left shoulder. His smell. I hope people I know don't see me like this, I pray. We continue walking for another 20 minutes until he stops. I lift my head up to see why, "we are here", as he gently lets me down. We walk up the stairs and he gets his keys out and opens the door. I'm actually surprised to what I find. It's neat and organized unlike what you would expect out of a teenage boy living by himself. I walk In hesitating, still grasping the idea of spending the night at my students house until I'm fully in. "I can make some food for you if you are hungry", he says taking his hoodie off. You could see a glimpse of his abs as part of his shirt comes up with it as my stomach growls. "I guess I have my answer", he laughs quietly. I don't know what I'm hungry for, him or food. As in begins to heat up food, I just stand there in the doorway awkwardly. "Don't just stand there, make yourself at home, the tv remote is on the couch if you want to watch it". I gently nod as I continue to inspect his apartment. It's a very simple looking room, making it very cozy to be in. As I make my way over to his couch I see a picture with a child and 2 parents behind him. Awn, he was so cute as a baby, I thought. The picture made me warm up internally and continue to explore. I make my rounds around his place until he says the food is ready. He had some left over shrimp fried rice and orange chicken which I gladly accepted. "Sorry for not making anything homemade, need to go grocery shopping. In the morning I could make you breakfast though. I'm very good at that", he smiles as he hands me a napkin. "No I'm fine really. You've shown me enough hospitality". He disappointedly nods, and tells me he's going to take a shower. Before he gets in he says that there is another bathroom in his room if I want to take one too. "I don't have a chance of clothes", trying to avoid taking a shower even though i wanted to. "Don't worry look in my dresser, 3rd from the bottom, there's shorts and T-shirt's and extra towels in the closet". He really is just my provider right now. I finish eating, and make my ways towards his room.

Tristian POV

I finish my shower, and hear her's just finish so I change into night clothes and grab a pack of cigarettes. I started smoking since my parents death, I don't know why. Just because I could probably as I shake the box up. I forget my lighter in my room, damnit. As I make my way back inside before I could enter I'm met with a person wearing a T-shirt about 4 sizes up from theirs. I start laughing, but her facial expression becomes really angered. "Tristian, what are you doing". Not realizing I still had the cigarette in my mouth, she snatched out and throws it away. "Give me the rest", she says firmly. Reluctantly I hand my pack and she quickly drenches them and throws them away. "Those are gonna kill you, please don't do it". "I can't promise that Ms. Aiko". She asked me why not and I say "coping".

AIKO POV

I'm furious out my head he would ever consider to smoke cigarettes. But then he says "coping". What does he mean. Making good use of my school for 15 years, I remember him saying his parents don't live with him. What parents sends their ki—I quickly realize. I start to ball out crying and give him a deep hug. "Please, I'm sorry for your loss, but don't smoke. I'm pretty sure your parents wouldn't want you too." "Come on now Ms Aiko, I'm a big boy. I'll be—NO. She quickly interrupts me. After a heated stare off, I give in first. Afterwards, I let her have my bed because I use the guest room for storage so I'm going to sleep on the couch. "Are you sure", she's says not wanting to impose. "Yess Ms. Aiko, I would like to think in the future you'd be someone special for to me", so don't think about it. "Your my student Tristian, of course we will", I smile not realizing what response I will get. "No, something more than that, hopefully". I laugh it off. "You don't want someone like me, most men don't". "That's because men nowadays either have shitty taste or just are not men. They're boys". "I'm old to you know", trying to get him to admit it. "I would still love you all the same, and your not old, he laughs at me". I quickly run off to the bed so flushed I can't contain myself. Does he really think that, I make myself fall asleep for thinking to hard.

MOM DAD PLEASE! I hear someone say that woke me up. I'm a light sleeper which doesn't help me. I walk into the living space and see and very frustrated Tristian. I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough to protect you. I start to cry as I walk over towards him. I start to comfort him and see him calm down. As I get up I here, please don't leave me, I'm begging you. I need you. Please stay. For a second I thought he was woke, but miraculously he is still having the night terror. Something in my mind told me to stay with him, so I did. There wasn't any more space on the couch, he's literally to big. I take a deep breath before I start to lay on top of him. For some reason when I do, and I could feel my body surrounded by his warmth, I could feel his protection. Suddenly his arms wrapped around me, but I didn't struggle.

I'll never leave you, I whisper.

I pray that you don't. DID I WAKE HIM UP WHEN I GOT ON TOP OF HIM?! Actually who cares. I lay my hand on his muscular chest and fall into a deep sleep.

A/N PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK? Am I rushing the story. So far it's only suppose to be 12-15 parts. No readers yet :'( but I'm not giving up hope.
