Utatane Piko x Reader - Trapped

Chapter 14

I smiled to myself, clutching the small object tightly in my hand. Although it didn't weigh much, it came with a great weight of responsibility. I sighed, picking up my pace a little. I had to decide where I was going to hide it, after all. I ran through all of the possible places to hide it, and the probability of someone looking in that area. As I opened the door to my room, I remembered the secret panel I had found under my bed when I had first moved here. Perfect! I thought,crawling under my bed, deftly opening the small compartment. I had always wondered about it, and how it got there in the first place. I imagine the previous occupant made it for the same reason I need it. I quickly stuffed the USB stick into the panel, shutting it with a satisfactory sigh. I flopped back onto my bed, sighing as I bubbled. Piko trusts me with this, I beamed, laughing a little. I closed my eyes, and slowly drifted off into a peaceful sleep.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

My eyes flew open, as my dream ended. Again, this "dream" had filled my mind. I quickly got up, and flew under my bed, scanning the wall for the panel. My eyes flew open as I found it, and my heart skipped a beat. I almost didn't want to open the panel. I hesitantly stuck out my hand, and pushed on it slightly. It came open with a small pop, and my mouth pulled back to release a sigh of relief. I gingerly grabbed the USB, as if it would turn to dust if I was too harsh with it. I clutched it to my chest, hoping for the best. I crawled out from my bed and got ready. Today was going to be another day of waiting for luchtime.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Lunchtime rolled around all too slowly, and I quickly searched the lunchroom for Piko, hoping to catch him before he sat down at his now-usual table. I quickly spotted him in line behind me. Perfect! I thought, I can get my lunch, wait for him, and then get to him before he sits down. I almost didn't want to get food, due to the anticipation gnawing and tossing my stomach to no avail. I quickly got a sandwich, and glanced over my shoulder to see where Piko was. I stopped, my heart sputtering; Piko was looking straight at me. I quickly cleared my throat and turned my head away, although I knew it was a bad idea. Sure enough, when I turned to look again, he had dissolved into the crowd.

I sat at my usual table, (the one that used to be our usual table) and softly chewed my sandwich. The anticipation had subdued, leaving nothing but an empty void of detachedness. I stared blankly at the table, feeling numb. I had a perfect chance, and I screwed it up. Who knows when I'll get another chance like that... I thought.

A familiar clunk sound shook me from my trance. My heart skipped, but my head remained down. My eyes dashed up, eager to confirm my suspicions. Sure enough, Piko had sat across from me, just as we has done before. I smiled a little, and Piko noticed this.

"Why are you smiling?" He asked, his expression unreadable.

I dropped my head, my smile widening a little as I muttered, "Nothing."

"Why were you looking at me in the lunch line?" Piko questioned, his expression unreadable.

"I..." My smile faded as I groped for an answer, "Well I... I guess I was wondering if- uh... maybe you would want to... maybe... visit me, after classes?" I glanced up at him, slight shock painted on his pretty face.

"Uh..." He glanced to the side, hesitating for a while before he continued. "Sure, I guess." He breathed out before muttering, "It can't end up being too bad."

I frowned at the last part, but decided to ignore it. "Then can you meet me in the Main Hall?" I asked. He nodded, but seemed anxious to get away from me.

"Is that all, then?" He asked, frowning. My jaw dropped slightly, but I frowned and nodded, dragging my eyes back to my food.

I watched Piko walk away and join the popular table. They all looked over at me, probably asking him what he was doing sitting with me. A couple of them gave me dirty looks, but I didn't react. I knew that soon enough, Piko would be back to his usual self.

I smiled to myself, anticipation once again claiming my stomach and toying with it.
