[HayaRyuu]My First Love

Forget

[ Ryuuichi's POV ]

After leaving Morinomiya Academy, I went to a college by the country side. And eventually became a teacher at an Middle school near the college. But Five days ago, I got a phone call from Saikawa-san, saying that Oba-san was dying, so Kotarou and I quickly came back.

But when we got there it seemed that 'Saikawa-san was merely over-reacting', atleast that's how Oba-san phrased it. Even though she said that, losing consciousness for three days straight is not something to be overlooked. So I asked If it was okay to stay for a few weeks, just to make sure that she really was okay.

I asked the Principal of the Middle school if I could take a leave for a few weeks and he said it was okay, since he was one of Oba-san's friends, he was also worried about her health. I initially came here so that there'd be someone to look after her and maybe do the house chores while Saikawa-san was busy, but for some reason I ended up being a Temporary teacher for the Academy.

At first I was a bit surprised by the sudden 'order' Oba-san gave, but it seemed like she did it because the teachers were really stressed out and needed some help, plus she couldn't be there to supervise their works so she needs me to give a daily report. (She might not admit it but I'm sure she's worried for them.)
While Saikawa assumed the role of Temporary Chairman and went to finish all the incomplete paperwork Oba-san missed.

She assigned me as the Temporary Homeroom teacher for Yukari-san's(Midori's Mom) class, since she just gave birth to her second child and needed some rest. Coincidentally, the class I was assigned to, class 2-B, was also the class Taka-kun was in.

It seemed like he forgot all about me, but he still comes to play after school. Taka talks about his brother a lot, which makes me really happy to hear about how he's doing. Even if he hates me.

"Sensei!"

"Huh, who is it?"

"It's me, Taka!" A head popped up from behind the door. "I'm really sorry, my parents were both busy so neither of them could come." He said with a sad expression. "So is it okay for me to bring someone else tomorrow ?" He looked at me like a with puppy dog eyes.

"If you want, you can bring anyone you want as long as it's one of your guardians" I said giving him a smile. His face brighten up. "Really sensei!?" He hugged me tightly, and I hugged back. Soon after, he ran to the door. "Then I'll bring my brother tomorrow!" He made a big smile on his face. Haah, he's still as cute when he was still a toddler.... wait, did he just say he'll bring his brother? Oh crap, i messed up.

'Kamitani's coming tomorrow, what am I supposed to do!? I told him I'd never come back;; Yet I suddenly return as Taka's teacher??? Plus, doesn't he hate me?? I'll be dead for sure.. Should I just say I'm sick or something ?? But Oba-san will get mad if I skip work! Hhhh. Dear lord send help.'

"You need help?" Usaida-san, who became a teacher here before I came, whispered into my hear from behind. "Fuwah!" I flinched in surprise, causing my glasses to be misplaced. The pink haired man just chuckled, it's been a while since he saw me react like that in front of him. "Usaida-san!? When did you get here????" I asked a bit flustered.

"Since you started muttering to yourself." He said with his signature half-baked smile. "Eh? What? Did I say it out loud??"

"Haha.... so Kamitani's coming, but you want to run away again?" He set down some paper(probably homework) on his desk.

"Why not just wear a disguise?" He said as he took out a wig and a pair of women's clothes from the drawer of his desk.

'Why does he even have that??' I thought.
