Hope's Love

Chapter Five

Friday 29th December 8:30am

"Leon. LEON YOU IDIOT WAKE UP." The baseball star rubs his eyes to see Taka's face floating above his.

"Why the fuck are you so close to me?" Leon asks, shoving Ishimaru out of the way.

"Well you need to get ready for the event My Togami is holding on Sunday." The hall monitor says, wearing a white shirt and black trousers.

"I'ld prefer to just go to Hiro's party, they have fireworks and other shit." Leon replies, ruffling his hair as he rolls out if bed with his concert shirt and shorts on.

"No, you're going to Togami's and that's that." Taka growls, walking out and slamming the door as the stomps of his feet signal his exit.

Leon sighs, laying onto his bed and taking his phone. There was a text from Makoto, he opens it and looks at it for a minute.

'Want to meet up again today?'

He read it over several times, then sighs to himself. He knew what he had to do.

'I think I'm all caught up on the work, thanks for the offer though.'

Leon sends the message and walks over to his desk, taking a pink stained piece of paper and started to write happily.

After an hour of shouting, paper scrunching and madness, he finally finished. Leon feels a ping from his phone; it was from his class' chat. A poster for Togami's party, it read:

Mr Byakuya Togami's New Year's Eve Celebration

Dress code: formal mask and clothing

Time: 6:00pm Sunday 31st December

It was short, but gave a lot if information.
"Crap, I guess I will have to cover my identity or something." Leon scoffs, bouncing up and slipping the letter into an envelope with "Naegi" written messily. He puts on a yellow coat and red wellington boots and walks out of his apartment, his unkept hair bouncing up and down as he walked to Makoto's apartment, trying to stay disguised.

Leon slips the letter under the door, knocks on Naegi's door and quickly hides behind a wall, looking to see Makoto pick up the letter and ripping the envelope apart and reads the letter.

The lucky student jumps at the sound of someone knocking on his door. He looks down at the envelope in front of his feet and delicately picked it up and teared the top.

'Dear Naegi-kun,

Will you accompany me to the dance at Sir Togami's house on Sunday.

From your secret lover.'

The lucky student turns his head in confusion. "Wh-."

He gets cut off by Hajime coming over, stumbling slightly as he wraps his arm around Naegi.

"Heyyyyyy Makooottttooooo. What you got *hic* there." He was clearly drunk, not the best thing but hey, he could live.

Naegi looks at Hinata with slight disgust. "Well I have a letter from someone, asking to go to the dance on Sunday......with me." He sighs slightly. "Why would anyone want to dance with me?" Makoto says, trying to walk back inside with Hajime's arm around his shoulder. "Can you please get off me?" The lucky student says, removing Hinata's arm off him with disgust, making him tumble onto the floor. A blow of wind makes the door shut in front of the talentless male.

Hajime looks around, thinking he had heard someone curse. "Who *hic* is that?" He shouts, frantically turning his head around.

Leon pokes his head around the wall, looking to see if it was safe to go, only to be greeted by a flying punch from Hinata to his face. "Gah! What the hell was that." Kuwata shouts, jumping to the side of Hajime and grabbing his hand.

"You.....who are you? And why....are you here?" Hajime asks, slumping onto a wall. Leon leans against the wall next to him and sighs slightly.

"If you really want to know, I gave the letter to Naegi." He mumbles, blushing. God that felt odd to say.

"Ah! Well you two would seem very lovely jubly chip chip cheerio govner." Hajime says, mimicking a British person, then falling onto the floor.

Leon looks at Hinata, on the floor. He's fainted. Kuwata didn't want to bring more attention to himself and walked out of the apartment, sighing a little. What if Makoto didn't read it, what if it all failed.

He walked through the snow covered streets, the smell of gingerbread filling the air as the December cold wraps around him. Leon gets back to his block and opens the door to the apartment to see Ishimaru and Mondo, both sitting on Kuwata's bed, talking.

"Urm....can you get the hell of my bed?" He asks with slight disgust, taking off his boots and coat, flinging them onto the wall, leaving a wet mark on the white walls.

Mondo stands up, annoyed. "No. Remember this isn't your bed dumbass. And Ishimaru has the say." He says, crossing his arms.

Before he could say anything, Taka stands up. "That's right, don't come talking around." The hall monitor snarls.

"Fine then, I'm done with this place." He says, grabbing his backpack and leaving, wrapping his scarf around his neck. "I was broke, those idiots are such rats." Leon mumbles, walking out of the block if apartments.

Knock knock

"Kanon"

"Thanks"
