Idc anymore.
--------------------

Kairi jumped as his locker door slammed shut, nearly hitting him in the head. He turned to yell at whoever had done it but instantly bit his tongue when he came face to face with Mattia.

The Mattia. The one and only.

Kairi backed up, pressing himself against the metal lockers as Mattia took a step closer. No one else was in the hallway as there was still almost an hour before school started.

M: Hey. It's Kairi right?

The taller boy offered Kairi a tentative smile but the latter only shook in fear.

K: mhmm.

M: I'm Mattia I-

K: -I know who you are.

Mattia looked slightly annoyed when Kairi interrupted him but then he smirked, stepping even closer.

M: oh really?

Kairi looked like he wanted to die of embarrassment but he he just stared at the ground. Mattia felt a pang if compassion as he watched the smaller boy.

M: hey. Look at me.

Mattia's voice was softer. Kairi looked up slowly, trying to maintain his confidence.

M: why do you seem so scared of me?

Kairi wanted to laugh in his face. Everyone was scared of Mattia. Everyone knew that Mattia was not somebody to be messed with. Several freshmen had recently been beaten up by him. Not to mention the countless parties he went to every weekend and the way he had every girl wrapped around his finger.

K: I-I'm not scared.

M: why are you lying to me?

Kairi was confused when he saw hurt in Mattia's eyes. He bit his lip before answering in a voice barely above a whisper.

K: I-I-I don't want you to h-hurt me.

Mattia stepped back like he had been slapped in the face. Kairi was shocked when he saw tears in Mattia's eyes but the taller boy quickly wiped them off and took off running down the hallway. Kairi didn't follow him; instead, he ran to his first class and waited for the bell to ring, his mind stuck on his encounter with Mattia.

-/|\-

Kairi was walking towards the bathroom after asking his teacher for permission. He was still thinking about his encounter with Mattia but he pushed it to the back of his mind as walked through the abandoned hallways. He was only in the bathroom for a few minutes before he heard the door open again. He didn't bother looking up until he heard the person clear their throat awkwardly. He quickly finished his business before zipping his pants and spinning around, only to instantly stop again when he confronted Mattia for the second time that day.

K: M-Mattia.

Kairi's voice was nothing more than a squeak as he looked to the side. Mattia looked down at his hands, a small blush creeping along his cheeks.

M: l-look. Kairi. I-uhh. IdontwantyoutobescaredofmebecauseIlikeyouandIwanttogettoknowyoubetter.

Mattia spoke so quickly and quietly that Kairi had no idea what he said. He gave him a bewildered look while Mattia continued to stare at his hands.

K: pardon?

Mattia looked up and sighed slightly.

M: I don't want you to be scared of me because I like you and I want to get to know you better. I want to be your.......friend. If you want. I mean if you don't it's ok. I just don't want you to be scared of me. Please.

Mattia trailed off awkwardly while Kairi stared at him in shock.

K: yes.

Mattia's gaze snapped up as he tried to register Kairi's words.

M: yes?

K: yes. I want to be your friend. Or at least get to know you better.

Kairi offered Mattia a soft smile to which the taller boy let out an ecstatic grin.

M: ok.

K: ok.

The two boys stared at eachother for a few seconds before Kairi snapped out of his thoughts and looked at his phone.

K: Oh my gosh. I have to get back to class. Here, put your number in my phone so we can text.

Mattia quickly put his number into Kairi's phone, saving the contact as "matti boy" before handing it back.

K: ok I gotta go but I'll text you later yeah?

M: y-yeah. Ok.

Kairi quickly ran out of the bathroom leaving Mattia standing there. He did a little happy dance in front of the mirror before millie rocking his way to the door.

This was going to be the beginning of something amazing.

--------------------
heheh. Kairi didn't even wash his hands.

I kinda don't like this.

I'm tired. Really really tired.
