[COMPLETED]
(Book #1 of 'The Clever Series')
There couldn't be two people more different than each other, but there couldn't be two people more alike, as well.
Perceptive eyes that notice everything.
Battle of wits, with intense romance.
But what...
When I first started to think of this fanfic, forming the plot and all in my head, this song kept playing in the background and I thought to myself, "Boy with love, huh? Sounds like Atsumu, lol."
And it's pretty evident in this chapter!

She was having a brief chat with Rina-san regarding some formalities of joining the student council. But Rina-san's body language revealed her surprise that Ren was already friends with some of the most prominent students including the elusive Kita Shinsuke.
Atsumu watched as she flitted her eyes between Ren and the table at which they sat at. After they waved each other their goodbyes, Ren made her way back to the table where most were done with their lunches and they seemed to be enjoying an assortment of iced teas and vitamin waters while waiting for lessons to resume. She plopped herself beside Atsumu, and listened in onto their on-going conversation.
"What, my cooties won't get to you now?" asked Atsumu with a slight frown on his face, pulling her out of general conversation on the table.
She paused before replying, "Oh crap. You have cooties?"
"No! That's not what I meant! I mean, you were exclusively picking on me all this while. And now, you sit yourself next to me..."
"Hmm. It would seem so, wouldn't it?"
"Huh. What does that mean?"
"You tell me, new-to-the-advanced-class boy."
He stared at her, squinting his eyes slightly, trying to make sense out of what she had just uttered. The last four hours inside his head were like a hurricane, engulfing and confusing him; multiple strains of thoughts were tangling his thinking process. He was about to respond to her before Osamu swept her back into their conversation.
He looked at his brother and re-shifted his gaze back to her. Fascinated, he watched as her her countenance become slightly dimmer than it had been a while ago.
Tsk. No, not dimmer.
It was more like, her overall mood had calmed down. If her gaze towards him a while ago could be described as the blazing afternoon sun on a sunny day, melting him, her appearance now resembled the soft rays of the dusk. On one hand, it slightly warmed him up to see someone who was a total stranger to them a few hours ago, fit in so well with his closest people.
He looked away from her and shut his eyes, blocking off all the excess noise externally, and quietened the ones in his mind. He took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly.
