The Only Person Dumber Than You is Me. (A Soudam fanfiction)

(1) Pure Chance

/Kazuichi/

  Kazuichi sighed as he bent his head back to stair up at the ceiling. English class was the worst for him. It was boring as hell. He never did his work in English, maybe it was because he barely understand it, or maybe it was because his teacher was a pushover and let him get away with the bare minimum. It was usually the ladder.
   Kazuichi leaned forward and fixed his hat. Sighing and slouching over in his chair, he turned his head to look at Gundham. Gundham sat two seats down from him. He had to look around Sonia Nevermind to ever actually see him. God he hated that freak. He dressed like he was some medieval monarch, and was by far the edgiest guy in class. Kazuichi never got close enough to actually tell, but he's pretty sure Gundham wore one red contact, which is just so dumb. If you're gonna wear contacts, just wear two.
   Kazuichi snapped back to reality when the teacher started addressing the class again. "This project is worth 30% of your grade for this quarter. You can pick any topic to research, but you and your partner must come to an agreement," She stated

  "What?" Kazuichi whispered to himself.

"You and your partner have three weeks to have your report finished," She picked up a clip board on his desk and continued, "I don't trust you to pick your own partners so I have preselected partners," She began reading off names for the project pairs, when she finally got to Kazuichi. Sonia had already been paired up with Hajime, so his hopes weren't high.

  "Kazuichi Soda and Gundham Tanaka." She read off her clip board.This was so unfair. By pure chance he got paired with this edge lord.

  The teacher dismissed them to start working, so Kazuichi slid his chair around Sonia's desk, and infront of Gundham.  "What's the topic?"

  Kazuichi looked at him dumbfounded, "Like hell if I know," He sighed

   "What's something you're good at, mortal?" Gundham asked. Seriously what is with this 'mortal' talk?

    "Engineering," He shrugged. Gundham scribbled 'engineering' down on the paper in front of him. Kazuichi looked at his handwriting, it was so pretty. When he finished writing he looked up and made eye contact with Kazuichi. "Is it real?" Kazuichi asked out of the blue.

  "What?"

  "Your eye. Like the colour. Were you born with it or is it a contact?"

  "It's real. Why would I purposely give myself weird eyes?" Kazuichi just stared at him. Since it's real and not just some fashion statement... he guesses it's pretty. No, it is pretty. He's... pretty. Kazuichi felt his stomach twist, "It's not weird, it's," He started, but he stopped himself. He can't just call another guy pretty, that's gay as shit.

  "It's what?" Gundham said, shifting awkwardly in his seat.

  "Cool I guess," he shrugged, "Anyway, if we're doing this project on engineering we need as much time as we can get. My house is too far away, so we should probably work at yours, if that's okay." Gundham nodded, and put his notebook paper in his book bag, and stood up as the bell rang.
