I'm not good at dating games

Chapter 2: An Actual Angel

He was on the brink of falling asleep and of course, it was in math class. Kei was never good at math or anything at all but math in particular he despised. It was like a cancer or tumor he couldn't escape from. So, naturally about 3 minutes into the class his eyelids were heavy.
Kei: (haha a nap sounds good right about now. I think I'll take one rn)
Kei said as he propped his textbook up in front of him and rested his head on his desk.
Npc teacher: "For this formula, I think I'll have someone come up and finish it. Noah? Will you please."
For some reason just hearing Noah's name was enough for him to fully wake because Kei was now diligently looking at the board.
Noah slowly made his way to the front of the room and picked up a marker.
Then very flawlessly he solved the long-ass formula on the board that even the class murmured in awe.
Npc teacher: "Ahem nicely done. It's completely correct. Thank you, Noah, you may go back to your seat."
Kei: (Wow he's pretty and smart at math. I'm bald)
All the girls in the math class: "Noah's so cool! Omg, he made it look so easy!"

Noah went and sat down.
Npc teacher: "Alright I think I'll call another person to solve the next formula. Joe? Will you please."
Joe came up (Kei wasn't really sure if his name was Joe but he sure as hell didn't remember it)
Joe wrote his numbers very messily compared to Noah's neat equation right next to it.
Npc teacher: "Almost but not quite. Thank you, Joe."
The class was quiet and Kei basically went back to sleep at that point.

The day went on and math class had ended.
Kei was exploring the campus on his own. He walked casually and was about to pass the gym.
Some athletic npc dude: "Hey Noah, pass it over here!"
It was like a radar went off in Kei. So now he was on his toes trying to peep his head through one of the lower gym windows. Somehow he managed to see inside the gym.
His eyes immediately found Noah.
Noah was standing on one side of a net and playing against two other players by himself.
Npc girls on the sidelines: "I can't believe Noah agreed to help us practice.
He's so good at volleyball! Maybe we should try and recruit him?
No, you know how hard it took the boys to convince him to help us out."
Kei: (hm so they basically forced him? Ah but Noah looks so cool playing volleyball too.)
Kei's attention was stolen and he was now watching the match.
Noah's serves were breathtaking and his attacks were so strong that no one could keep up.
Despite his opponents being literal members of the volleyball team, they were pathetically losing.
Prolly the Npc Ace of the Volleyball team: "I got this. I'll get him with my power move. This will show him who's boss!"
The npc ace threw the ball up high as he could and as the ball came down slowly, he readily tried to aim the attack straight at Noah.
But too bad his aim was shit and it went right past Noah.
Kei: "Eh?"
All the npcs in the gymnasium: "Eh?"
So instead when he hit the ball it only hit straight into Kei's face.
Kei fell backward from the impact of the ball to his face and landed on his back, his head hitting the ground.
Kei was now unconscious.
Npc ace: "Yo I think I hit something"
Npc teammates: "Dude I think you hit someone outside!"
Everyone rushed outside to see what had happened and found Kei passed out on the ground next to the ball.
Npc ace: "oh shit? Is he dead?"
Some npc girl: "No, he's still breathing just a bit out. Can someone take him to the infirmary?"
Everyone was surrounding Kei but no one offered. Instead, they stared.
Some npc guy: "Ugh what a pain, what's his name again? Uh, Kei, right? Am I gonna hafta drag his ass all the way across the campus?"
A jacket was placed on Kei and there was now someone bent down beside him.
Npc ace: "Noah?! What are you doing? You're gonna carry him to the infirmary? You don't have to dude just leave him be."
Noah ignored the comment and lifted Kei up easily.
It was a princess carry.
Everyone just looked at Noah walking off with Kei to the infirmary.
The girls, in particular, were looking straight at Kei (who was still unconscious) full of envy
Npc guys on the volleyball team: "Man if looks could kill"
Noah made it to the infirmary but the door was closed and for a while, he struggled to open the door.
Eventually, he got the door open and placed Kei on one of the white beds.
Noah looked around to see if the nurse was around but they were conveniently out atm.
So Noah grabbed a chair and sat by the window that was near Kei's bed.
Noah had no plans of going back to that volleyball practice. If anything he was dragged into it so he was glad to have found an excuse to leave.
Many hours later.
Kei opened his eyes and saw a white ceiling.
Kei: "Where am I? Did I die? Is this heaven?"
He was still laying down so he turned his head around to see where he was.
To his surprise, he saw Noah, who was sleeping peacefully sitting in a chair.
Kei: (If this is a dream I hope I never wake up.)
Kei thought as he slowly sat up. He felt a wave of pain in his head followed by a migraine.
Kei: (Ah right, I got hit by that ball. Stupid dude can't even hit a ball right!)
Then he looked at Noah, who was beside him.
Kei: (He's pretty even when asleep. His eyelashes are so long.)
It was long into the afternoon now and the window was open.
The ray of orange light-colored Noah's figure.
Kei: (wtf am I really in heaven? How can someone be this angelic? Is he an actual angel!?!?!?)
Kei was having a mental crisis until he noticed a red dot on Noah's shoulder.
It was a ladybug.
Naturally, Kei reached for the ladybug so he could get it off of Noah's person.
But before he could even touch it, a hand gripped his wrist tightly.
Kei: "Ow."
It was Noah's hand, he had woken up.
Kei: "uh"
Kei said confused as he looked at Noah.
It took a few seconds but Noah realized and let go of Kei's hand.
Kei: "ah just a sec, I won't touch you but"
Kei said as he got the ladybug off of Noah's shoulder.
It was now sitting on Kei's finger.
Kei: "See? There was a ladybug on you."
The ladybug flew off and out the window.
Noah didn't say anything.
Kei rubbed his wrist a bit and Noah noticed it turned red.
Noah stared at Kei's wrist for a while and Kei saw.
Kei: "Oh it's ok. It's not your fault if anything it's mine and my skin gets red easily anyways haha"
Kei said nervously hoping it would help the situation he was now in and then he realized.
Kei: "By any chance did you carry me here?"
Noah nodded.
Kei: "I'm sorry, I bet I was heavy and a pain to carry."
Noah didn't say anything.
Then Kei made an even bigger realization.
Kei: "Wait. What time is it now??"
Noah looked at his watch since he didn't know what time it was either and then showed his watch to Kei.
Kei: "IT'S THIS LATE ALREADY??!"
Then he looked at Noah.
Kei: "Did you still have anything left to do?"
Noah only looked back at Kei for a minute and then quickly realized he might have missed a lot of classes.
Noah got up and raced out of the infirmary.
Kei: "OH WAIT!... I didn't get to thank him."
He then noticed there was a jacket on him and it was clearly not his size.
Kei: "The sleeves are longer than my arms so it's not mine and why does it smell like flowers?"
With his amazing deduction skills, he guessed it must've belonged to Noah.
Kei: "Guess I'll give this back to him the next time I see him"
Kei laid down and was on his side.
Kei: "I missed all my classes for today so I think I'll sleep a bit more until they kick me out"
He did end up sleeping for a while until he really was kicked out by the nurse and told to go home.
Kei went home and put the jacket into the washer.
As he waited for the jacket that was now in the dryer, he played one of his usual mobile games.
Kei felt lucky today since he was blessed with an angel's presence and decided to do a pull for a particular super rare unit he wanted.
And unexpectedly he pulled that unit.
Kei: "YEEHAW!"
And so, the day ended on a great note.
