POT of FLOWERS

Act. 01

Yukino Kira skidded into a stop in front of his open classroom, "Safe~!!"

The demon of a math teacher, Hachigawa Aoi, throws a book at him which Yukino Kira effortlessly dodges with a grin, "Shut up! You're pretty much  late! What's your excuse?!"

Yukino Kira's grin grew wider, "I mistook 9 A.M. for 7 A.M."

Another book flies towards him and Yukino Kira caught it with ease and walks up front to return the book back to the teacher's desk before swiftly settling comfortably down his desk at the middle of the class. Hachigawa Aoi resumes discussion while the ever-so playful Yukino Kira inadvertently starts disturbing his seatmate, the too handsome prince charming who always wears a poker face, Akabane Hakaru, by poking him on his shoulders.

Yukino Kira, "Hakaru~ Hakaru-chan~ Hakaru-chan~"

Akabane Hakaru, "..."

Yukino Kira puffs his cheeks, "C'mon, Hakaru~ Notice me?"

Unable to shrug him off, Akabane Hakaru slightly turns to look at him, "What is it?"

Yukino Kira beams childishly at him, "Nothing. Good morning?"

Akabane Hakaru says nothing and faces front, keen on taking down notes. Yukino Kira watches his wide back and his broad shoulders partly slouching. He pokes him once again but this time, he had his index hovering over Akabane Hakaru's left shoulder.

Akabane Hakaru whirls just in time to meet Yukino Kira's finger who happily poked his cheek. "Ki---"

Yukino Kira bursts out laughing, disturbing the whole class. Akabane Hakaru grips his pen tightly while his earlobes unabashedly turned red. Yukino Kira was still laughing, slamming his desk repeatedly while the others starts to question what was happening.

Akabane Hakaru, "...You."

Yukino Kira slows into a snicker, tears seeping out from the edges of his glassy-lime green eyes. Hachigawa Aoi sent a book flying at Yukino Kira's direction out of spite which the nimble fellow absentmindedly invades by ducking down. The result was that the poor guy sitting behind him take the fury of the angered teacher right on the face.

Yukino Kira, "Hachi-sensei, did you know that it's not polite to throw books at people?"

Hachigawa Aoi, "If you ever shut your mouth and pay attention in class---!"

Yukino Kira, "But mouths do nothing but talk. It's not like I'll pollute the toxic air you breath anyways."

Hachigawa Aoi, "Scram."

Yukino Kira smiles a toothy grin, "Hmm? What did you say? Did you really say for me to scram? That's not very nice, y'know~"

Hachigawa Aoi went red with anger, "SCRAM!!"

Yukino Kira bolted up his chair and darted outside the corridors with a victorious chuckle. He ventures outside with the blazing sun high above his head. As sweat begins to trickle down his neck and collar, he took a stop at a nearby vending machine and got himself some soda.

Yukino Kira opens the cap and raises it in a festive celebration manner, beaming with utter ignorance and joy. He drinks half the bottle within a few gulps before sighing a refreshed air out of his lungs. He pushes on, wandering around campus and dodging security guards or the fat dean who wears a wig to hide his bald head.

The sound of hurried voices, squeaking shoes and bouncing ball led Yukino Kira to enter the gymnasium. Right in the court, drenched in sweat and dribbling the ball was his childhood friend and also a member of the basketball varsity players, Subaru Daiki. While watching, Yukino Kira was devising a plan on how to ruin his friend's rhythm and had thought better to use it to the Akabane Hakaru a.k.a. the 'Sourpuss Prince'.
