Professor Kashi

Shiro, First Person:

I step out of the U-Hal and see Adam sitting at our table.

I start walking towards our table when I feel the need to turn around.

I turn around to hear a honk at Lance who's still sitting at a green light not moving.

He starts to speed off and he's gone.

I make eye contact with Adam and he has a cup of coffee in his hand and another right next to him.

I sit in front of Adam.

"I got you your favorite, the sugar and everything."

"Thanks."

He places the cup in front of me.

"So did you just wake up? What happened to your hair it looks kinda cute."

I feel myself start blushing.

"Adam stop."

"Who was that dropping you off? He was decent looking, did Keith make a new friend?"

He saw Lance?

"Yeah I guess him and Keith are friends, they just met yesterday but he gave me a ride.."

I feel a hand on top of mine.

Adam starts whispering.

"Takashi you need to hear my side of the story.."

I snatch my hand back.

"It's pretty clear about what was happening."

 "Listen Takashi you don't understand what happened." 

I feel myself get hot, I feel like I'm going to explode.

"Really?! Then explain to me how you made out with someone I told all about how much I loved you!" 

I realize that I was way to loud and need to shut up.

I start whispering.

"I'm sorry, that was really unnecessary but it's still true.."

I can feel eyes on me. People are staring.

Adam isn't looking at me, who's he looking at?

"That boy who dropped you off is behind you with Keith in some ridiculous clothes."

Great. Just great. 

"Keith is staring me down so I'm just gonna stare at you."

Me and Adam make eye contact.

God his eyes are so beautiful, with those hazel brown eyes. 

I hear a camera sound go off. Did they take a picture of us?

I turn around to see Lance with a menu right in his face and I kinda see Keith under the table.

These two are a mess.

I see a waiter behind Lance about to tap his shoulder with a plate of donuts and a cup of black coffee.

That's one hundred percent Keith's order.

Lance jumps when she actually touches his shoulder and he slowly put's down the menu and we make eye contact quickly.

He stays there looking at me.

What? Why is he staring at me? Why can't I look away?

The waiter starts waving in front of his face and we still have eye contact

"Um, thank you, Keith get up your food is here."

Lance is still staring at me.

I see Keith come out of the table with a trench coat on.

Adam gets out of his seat and grabs his coffee, only to sit in front of Keith.

Shit Adam why.

"Takashi get over here right now."

Adam's voice in serious mode.

I can't not listen to him. 

My eyes are still stuck with Lance's ocean eyes.

There so blue and I can feel myself getting lost inside them.

Finally Lance blinks away and his face becomes red.

I stand up and my phone starts ringing:

Curtis❣ is calling..

I answer.

"Shiro? Where are you? Did you go drinking again? Do you need me to pick you up?" His voice sounds calm but also kinda panicked.

Everyone is staring at me.

"I'm with Keith babe, were getting breakfast, I'll be home in maybe an hour."

I hear his breathing more.

"Do you want me to come home?"

Curtis stays silent.

"Babe I'll come home if you need me to."

Adam is now whispering to Keith.

Lance is staring at me and he mouth talks to me.

"If you need to go, go."

He then smiles and winks.

"I'll be there in 20."

I look at Adam and he looks disappointed but he understands.

Curtis hangs up on me and I put my phone in my pocket.

"Do you need a ride Professor?" Lance asks in a soft voice.

"Yes please."

Lance stands up.

"Can I have the trench coat back?"

Keith has clearly become attracted to it and won't let go.

"Fine just give it back tomorrow."

Keith smiles, probably happy to have it for another day at least.

Adam stands up and grabs my arm.

"Takashi.. the reason you came here was to talk to me but now you're leaving, can you find a time when you aren't busy before the school year starts? You got a week to meet up with me again."

Adam then storms off leaving Keith alone at the table while Lance and I are standing together.

I thought he was being understandable. 

"Hey so I'm just gonna stay here, I want to eat my donuts and coffee peacefully. Lance do you think you could maybe come back and pick me up?"

"Wow I should become a Uber driver, you'll have to pay me."

"I'll save you a couple donuts."

"Deal. I'll be back in an hour." Lance starts to walk away from Keith but I'm still standing here.

I feel a tug on my arm.

"Come on professor, we got to get to your man!" Lance says loudly.
