Ultimate Hero (Chiaki Nanami) *COMPLETED*

Chapter 8

 Opening his eyes as he saw the sun creeping through his blinds, Ollie could only assume it was morning. He had his arms crossed as he let out a small yawn before looking up slightly to see mauve colored hair, his cheeks instantly burning up. Chiaki was still asleep and he had rested his head against her shoulder to sleep. By the looks of it, with his arms crossed, at least he wasn't holding her. He probably would have been more embarrassed if that were the case. He remembered last night, the way she showed up to his place, it was to talk about that friend of hers.

Hajime.

She had her suspicions that he was acting weird, she couldn't tell if something was bothering him or he was just being his usual awkward self. But she needed comfort, and the only other person she could think of to help her with that was Ollie. She confided in him and although she wasn't the best at talking, she felt comfortable around him.

Ollie slowly lifted his body off of hers, feeling her own weight fall onto him, she was really in a deep slumber, making him look away in annoyance and saw she was playing on his console. She must've been playing before passing out. He sighed quietly before reaching over to grab his phone, rubbing his eye as he saw a few text messages from Ibuki. It was the day of the exams, he wasn't excited but he wasn't scared either. It was a pass or fail, a survival test in a way. "Hey Nanami, wake the hell up. We're going to be late if you're sleeping like this still." He mumbled, nudging the girl and heard her grunt in disapproval. He still couldn't believe that she had fallen asleep. In his house. In his bed. There was no way he was going to tell anyone about this, they would get the wrong idea.

"Is it time?" Chiaki asked, a few yawns coming from her as she focused on waking up.

"Not yet, but we have to get ready, plus, I need to give you some clothes to wear. You're not wearing dirty clothes to school, don't be like Hiyoko. Little dummy smelling and not bathing because she can't tie her kimono, if it weren't for Mahiru, she'd be hopeless." A small scoff came from the male as he rummaged through his drawers, pulling out a t-shirt that had a blue teardrop on the front along with a pair of ripped up shorts that go up to the knees. "Here, this'll do it for you." 

Chiaki stared at the clothes before sighing quietly, "Thanks for letting me stay here. I didn't know who else to talk to about Hajime. He's just been acting so weird."

"Yeah, whatever. It's nothing, don't mention it." Ollie yawned quietly, "I'm gonna grab a shower and we can head out after that. Sound good?"

"Yeah, that'll do." Chiaki said with a nod.

Walking into the classroom, he noticed everyone was staring as if they had just seen a ghost. Ollie blinked a few times before scoffing quietly, "What the hell are you lot looking at?"

"We're just...really surprised that you decided to come to class with Nanami." Mahiru said with a small chuckle, but it was short lived as she heard a snap, her gaze going towards the side to see Hiyoko had snapped the pencil she had in her hand in half. 

"Don't get the wrong idea, we ran into each other on the way here. Nothing else." Ollie answered as he made his way to his seat, sitting down as he yawned quietly.

"HEY NANAMI!" Ibuki yelled as she ran up to the gamer girl, "Whoooa. Look at your outfit, Ibuki thinks it's so punk rock. It's unlike you but Ibuki approves!" 

Chiaki jumped in her seat slightly, looking down towards her outfit and remembered that she was wearing some of Ollie's clothes he had lent her.  "Oh, thanks."

"Ooo, are you wearing it to catch a certain someone's attention? Ibuki can tell who! Come on, you can tell Ibuki!" The musician egged on.

"Maybe it's best you don't know, I just wanted to change it up for a bit." Chiaki said quietly. "I thought it was something that could make me look different for a change."
