Silver Hearts | Sakusa Kiyoomi

The next day came quicker than expected for (Y/N) with all the unpacking and settling in. She walked through the gates of the academy to be greeted by Komori, who happened to be waiting there.

"Good morning, (Y/N)! Today's a nice day, isn't it?"

It was mid-May in Japan and the weather there was marvellous. The sky was filled with fluffy clouds that almost resembled cotton candy. Between clouds that promised rain, was a river of blue.

"Yes, it's very nice today." The breeze blew through her hair as if it was singing a song. From the corner of her eyes, she could see Sakusa stride past them without a glance, mumbling something under his mask. He looked grouchy.

"Good morning, Kiyo!" She called out to him who swiftly looked over his shoulder. After a grumble of good morning, he resumed his way towards the school building.

"Don't mind him, (Y/N). He's always like that," Komori reassured. "He doesn't like mornings very much."

"So he still doesn't like mornings," (Y/N) thought to herself and smiled. The memories of their childhood flooded back. They would regularly have sleepovers at each other's house on the weekends which their parents didn't mind.

"Kiyo, wake up!" It was already in the Sakusa household. (Y/N) had stayed for the night and was already awake and ready to play.

"Five more minutes," Sakusa groaned out. He disliked the mornings, they always ruined his peaceful sleep.

(Y/N) continued to shake him before plopping onto the floor in defeat. She was bored out of her mind and Sakusa wasn't helping. She then smiles to herself when a magnificent idea popped into her mind.

She crept over to where Sakusa was, staring at his still figure. He was in deep slumber with his soft snores filling the room.

Suddenly, (Y/N) pounced onto the bed and tickled the figure who squirmed around uncontrollably.

"I'm going to tickle you awake!"

After a few minutes of laughter, Sakusa sat up with his hair all over the place. He was wide awake now, thanks to (Y/N). He looked over to where she was and also saw that her hair was dishevelled.

"Aw man, now I have to comb it again."

"That's your fault for tickling me," Sakusa remarked and crossed his arms.

"Hey! Well, at least you're awake now," she laughed out and soon, Sakusa joined in.

"Well, I better get going, or I'll be late for my first day!" She waved at Komori, who waved back and started heading towards her class.

As she found her way to her classroom, she could hear the chatter of students inside. Class 2-2.

(Y/N) took a deep breath before sliding the door open and entering. No one paid any particular attention to her and kept doing whatever they were carrying out. Many of them were out of their seats and talking to their friends while some were scrambling to finish their homework.

She soon found an empty seat at the back of the class near the window and sat down. She stared out the window until the teacher finally arrived.

He looked like a man around his late 40s with round glasses and dark hair. He cleared his throat, and everyone eventually quieted down. The class president then stood up and ordered everyone to greet their teacher.

"Good morning, Tsukiyama-sensei."

He motioned for them to sit down before clearing his throat.

"As you all may already know, we have a new student here," he motioned for (Y/N) to stand.
