The Empathetic Eraserhead

Chapter 19

Once they got back to UA, Shouta and Yuki walked Shinso to his dorm, and Shouta walked Yuki to her dorm. When they got to Yuki's dorm, Yuki opened her dorm door, but didn't enter, but stayed with Shouta, as she leaned against her door frame, while Shouta got closer to her.

"Tonight was entertaining to say the least," Yuki chuckled out.

"Yeah," he started to say, "But I didn't like how you helped, you could have gotten hurt, we weren't sure what quirks they had," he said as he cupped her face in his right palm. "I care about you Yuki, I wouldn't know what to do if you got hurt, or worse," he started to say, as he rubbed her soft cheek. Yuki could have melted, with how close he was to her, and holding her face like he was, she was lucky she was leaning against her door frame, she wasn't too sure she would still be standing if she wasn't.

"I care for you too much, kitten," Shouta repeated, added a nickname, one that he was wanting to call her for a while.

"I'm sorry, I wanted to help, even if it was a small role," she replied, wanting to rub her face into his hand more. "I care for you too stud," she said, as she smiled at Shouta fondly. Shouta smiled at her pet name for him, as he got closer, and placed his arm around her tiny frame, closing the gap. Shouta rubbed her cheek fondly, as he leaned down and kissed her. Yuki was on cloud nine, she wanted to kiss him that first night, when Yamada woke up and interrupted them. Their kiss was short, but also so passionate. Yuki got closer, and put her hand on his chest, she wanted to feel his toned chest. It might have been short, but to Yuki, maybe even Shouta, it seemed longer, but they were so close to each other. After their kiss, Shouta got Yuki into a tight embrace, not wanting her in any trouble, or anything to hurt her. Yuki took this opportunity to snuggle into his chest a bit, not wanting to move or forget how good he smelt. To Yuki, he smelled of musk, ground coffee, and something else she couldn't place. Shouta gave Yuki a small kiss to her head, not wanting to release her, but he still had some things to do for tomorrow. To Shouta, Yuki smelled so sweet, so intoxicating, she reminded him of jasmin, and honeysuckle. After Shouta left, the rest of the night, Yuki was on cloud nine, so she couldn't focus enough. After struggling to figure out what she wanted to teach Eri tomorrow, she took a deep sigh, deciding to get ready for bed, opting to shower in the morning, and got her alarms set.

In the morning, Yuki got up, and took her shower, not wanting to wash Shouta's sent away. After her shower and got ready for the day, she went to make her usual iced coffee, and she decided to show Eri a movie. She deserved a short break, even if it was a cop out move, not wanting to figure out what to teach the sweet girl. She plans on giving Eri a half day, still needed to get ready for her date with Shouta tonight. With a deep sigh, she got her pocketbook, and her iced coffee tumbler, and started out to her class room.

"Oh, good morning boys," Yuki said as she ran into Yamada and Shouta, she caught up with them easily, once they stopped walking.

"Good morning Yuki," Yamada said, almost yelling. Yuki thinks she's almost used to the loud blonde, but sometimes she forgets how loud he can be. "How was your night," he asked her.

"Good, Eri and I watched some anime and once she fell asleep, I took her back to her dorm, then I ran into Shouta and Shinso training," she said as she remembered her night.

"That sounds kinda boring," he laughed, as he noticed how close the other two were standing to each other. "Why are you standing so close to each other?"

"We care about each other," Shouta said as he laced his fingers with Yuki's. "Why wouldn't we?"

"What happened last night, something must have happened," Yamada asked, confused at his comment.

"I'll tell you later," Shouta mouthed to his loud friend, as she laid her head against his shoulder, smiling fondly. Once they got to their respective classrooms, Yuki started to figure out what she wanted to teach Eri for the day. During her lesson, Eri asked why she was so spacy.
