Naegami One-shots 'Cause I'm Bored 2.0

Piano Prodigy

"It was just so beautiful.."

Naegi's POV

Togami's in my music class with me, though we never really talk. Quite honestly, I think he's a little too full of himself. Not to mention he's a total show-off.

"Alright, today we'll be learning the basic notes on the piano staff. Pretty easy stuff." Our teacher smiles, he's got to be one of the nicest teachers I've ever had. Then, I hear the selfish blonde boy scoff. Rather loud too. "What Mr. Togami, are you some type of piano prodigy?" Our teacher snaps back, his expression changing from cheerful to serious. "You could say that, yes." Togami responds, crossing his arms, smiling. "Fine then, come up here and play for us." (I can't keep calling him "Our teacher" so I'm going to name in Mr. Andrews because that was really cool teacher I had in third grade.) Mr. Andrews gestures the boy over to the surprisingly large piano. "Will do," he smirks, walking over to the keyboard.

"Gosh, what a jer-" My whispering was quickly drowned out by the sound the piano. "..Woah" It sounds wonderful, amazing even. He looks so handso- No, not handsome.. Proper, he looks so proper sitting at the instrument. Every time he hits a key, I get chills. And my chest, my heart, it feels...tingly. But, it's like, a painful tingle.. What is this feeling? It's almost nauseating..

"There," I was suddenly brought back down to earth when I heard Togami's voice. "Wow Mr. Togami.. I hate to admit it but that was surprisingly good. Nice job." "Heh, thank you sir." Togami walks back to his seat.

His playing was the only thing I could think about. I got nothing done in class.

6:35; after classes

"Ughh.. What's so special about a selfish jerk? Nothing! ..Yet, he's all I can think about." I talk to myself, staring up at the ceiling from my bed. *Ding!* "Huh?" I pick up my phone, a text.

Hey Makoto! Have fun
you done the music
homework yet?

----------------

"Crap!" I get up, grab my bag, and rush out of my room. The homework is to memorize a song on the piano. It isn't a hard song, but I have a little more trouble playing piano.. I enter the school's music hall. It isn't big, but it definitely isn't small. "Oh good, no one's here." I whisper to myself before going to sit down at one of the keyboards. The last thing I want is for someone to hear my trashy playing. "Okay.." I grab the sheet music from out of my bag and place it on the stand. Mr. Andrews played the song for us in class but I was too busy zoning-out to listen.

"I don't even know what key that is.." Frustrated, I bury my face in my hands. "Mmph! Why didn't I listen.." "Do you need help?" "A-Ah!" I quickly turn around to see Togami standing behind me. "Yeah.. I do." I say, lowering my head. Togami smirks, "well, I guess I could help you." I turn back to face the piano, Togami gets closer behind me.

"Alright, what note is that?" "C.." "Good, place your thumb on C." I'm going to make a fool of myself.. "That's not your thumb!...That's not C! Oh my god, you're an idiot. Just- here." Togami grabs my hand and moves it to the correct position. "There. Thumb. On. C."  I sigh, "thanks Togami." "Call me Byakuya." What?! He hates being called by his first name! "Oh, okay." "Okay, watch me." Byakuya places his right hand an octave above mine, and his left hand on my shoulder. Byakuya then plays the song, perfectly. Despite it being fairly simple, it sounded heavenly.

"Now you try." Dang it! I wasn't paying attention to his hand.. "I-I don't know how." Ready to get yelled at, I lower my head once again. "Oh.. Well, look. I'll play it slower." Okay, focus Makoto.. I watch as Byakuya's fingers hit every note, making sure to remember the pattern. "Ready to try?" Byakuya asks, taking his hand off of the keyboard. "Yeah, I think so." I take a deep breath before attempting to mimic Byakuya's playing.

"That was really close Makoto. Except, that note is G." "Oh uhm, which one is G?" Byakuya chuckles quietly before gently pressing down on my pinky finger.  "That one."

Oh my god.. He's the cutest thing ever..

I play the song again, with the correct note this time.  "Byakuya! I did it-" Before I was able to properly finish my sentence, Byakuya lifts my chin and kisses my cheek. "B-Byakuya!" "Sorry, I shouldn't have done that without permission." He apologizes as he backs away. "No, it's okay.. I liked it." Knowing that my face is probably totally red, I look towards the floor, smiling. "I always took you as a stuck-up brat. I was wrong." I say, before looking back up at the blonde. He's blushing too.. "Yeah, people tend to think that.. Although, the fact that I treat them terribly doesn't help it." I giggle, "it might be a bit rude of me to say, but you look really cute right now." "Gosh," Byakuya laughs. "Well.. Do you want to hang out again after school tomorrow?" He asks, holding a hand out for me to grab. I smile and take his hand, "I'd love to."

I pick up my bag and Byakuya and I leave the music hall. Hand in hand, he walks me to my room. "Goodnight Makoto, I'll see you tomorrow." "Goodnight Byakuya!"

As soon as I got into my dorm, I flopped onto my bed. Grabbing my pillow, I quickly brought it to my chest. It didn't take me long to fall asleep, since I had the happy thought of Byakuya in my head. "...I love him"
