Kaito, Just What Are You Trying To Say?
First Day
𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫: 𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝. 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝
Where the scarlet and golden flame trees embellished most of the vicinity. In particular, the framed main entrance
Remi scrutinized blankly, secretly admiring the wonderful atmosphere
Today marks his first day of school as a senior
Remi
(The principal sure loves flame trees)
Kaito, on the other hand, didn't pay much attention to it
He took in the cute and captivating 175cm Remi, with the background full on effect
Remi
(How should I spend my last year in high school...)
Remi
(Maybe I should join a club... I've always been club-free)
Remi
(Kaito's a student rep, I should ask him for advice)
Kaito
(I wonder if he'll notice me staring at him for too long)
Kaito
(I have to appreciate it before we go...)
Kaito
*delayed from being in a trance*
Remi
What club should I go to?
Kaito
(As expected, he didn't notice me staring at all.)
Kaito
Hmm... *helpless smile*
Kaito
How about the music club? You have a wonderful singing voice
Remi
*look away, shy* Not really...
Kaito
*smile brightens, a star was thrown to his head, a small ping*
Remi
But if I join the music club I have to perform in front of a crowd
Remi
I can't do it *shrink* Just thinking about it…ugh.
Kaito
How about joining the student council
Kaito
I'm serious though~ You could be the person behind the broadcasting. It's really easy
Remi
Hm? Would it be fine then?
Kaito is using that sparkly face of his to persuade him
Remi
*look away* I'll think about it
Kaito
(If I could hear Remi's voice all over the school when I can’t see him, I'll live a longer life)
It was the tough life of being one year younger than Remi, he was a third year and therefore, Remi's junior
It was like an invisible barrier between them
In conclusion, if Remi wants to spend his last year full of life and fulfillment, then Kaito's spending as much time as he can with Remi
Remi
*glance to him again, can't help but smile seeing him happy*
Remi
*pat his arm* Thank you, Kaito
Kaito
*blush feeling the cool touch, the spot in his arm imprinting the feeling*
Kaito
It's, it's nothing...
Kaito
(I want to hug him.) *faltering, hands almost lifting*
Kaito
... *helpless on what to do, deciding to look away*
Kaito
(If only he'd be aware of my feelings, even just a little...)
Kaito
(I won't have to go crazy about it)
Kaito
(No. I’d still, probably)
Ding dong * The school bell rung
Kaito
What's you room number?
Kaito
*nod* I'll come by recess
Remi
Go, go... The student rep can't be late
Kaito
Not anymore, it's a new school year you know?
They're talking while darting to the stairs
Kaito is in 3rd floor and Remi in 4th
Remi
As if you won't get elected again
They arrived at the 3rd floor
Remi
*used to it, continue going upstairs* Good luck out there
Kaito
(He could have at least said "I'll miss you too", or "me too") *pouting*
Kaito
(Fine then.) *exhaled, the corner of his mouth lifting*
Kaito
(Guess I’ll be the one to make him say it) *walk to his classroom*
Good, Right?
Ding dong ding* Recess break
Kaito stood outside Room 404 by the halls
Remi
*expected him so he walks to the door*
Remi
You're in a good mood
Kaito
(Because my source of happiness just walked up to me)
Remi
So *cross arms, shift his weight*
Remi
Is this about what happened in your class?
Remi
You guys have elected the officers already haven't you?
Remi
Sir Fren is always straightforward, especially with time
Kaito
How did you know our homeroom teacher is him?
Remi
Uh well…I accidentally saw your class assignment from your phone…*sheepish*
Remi
You got elected didn't you?
Remi
After that, you're going to be elected as the student rep for 3rd years
Remi
It’s amazing how much people you influence
Remi
It’s pretty cool *grin*
Kaito
*a star pings on his head*
Kaito
... *look down to adjust his suspected weird expression*
Kaito
*show a fixed smile*
Kaito
Um Remi, would you like some? *bought snacks from the cafeteria*
Remi
… *look around the room* (No one will mind right)
Remi
*look back to him* Come in
As Remi showed him to his seat, he began to sit on it
Kaito
*lay all the snacks he bought*
Milky knots, chocolate biscuits, lemon candies, and sour cream and cheesy chips
They were all Remi's favorite snacks
Remi
*look at the snacks conflicted*
Kaito
Hm, maybe I deserve a reward for being such a nice friend
Remi
I don’t know if I should be touched or worried.
Remi
You really spend your allowance like it sprouts from the ground
Kaito
(Ah, I got scolded instead)
Remi
But...thank you *sheepish*
Kaito
... *wry smile, another star pinging*
Kaito
*pick up the milky knots and open it*
Kaito
*eat a piece before getting another one for Remi*
Kaito
It's good *urge him*
Remi
*tries to take it from his hand*
Kaito
*reach it to his lips* ...
Remi
*furrow brow and just open his mouth*
The soft supple lips slightly budged against his finger
It sent tingles from the point of contact to his entire body
Kaito
*purse lips, delayed pulling his arm to himself*
Kaito
... *a bit distracted, grinning a little* Good right?
Remi
*taking the snack from him*
Kaito noticed he's looking up to Remi who has been standing for a while
Remi
(What's up with him? He's spoiling me like this all of a sudden.) *touched*
Remi
(There's no way we can stick in one chair)
Remi
*feed him a snack to shut him*
Kaito
*look at him awestruck*
Kaito
*chew happily and gulp*
Remi
(I'll just give him what he wants since I went and did it myself)
Student 1
Are they feeding off each other
Student 2
Lol what are they grade schoolers
Ryouma
*arrive at Remi's desk*
Ryouma
*smile slightly falters* Are you Remi?
Ryouma
Look at you stealing his seat
Ryouma
You can sit on mine
Kaito
*Tilts his head slightly, eyes narrowing just a bit*
Remi
*deadpan stare between them*
Kaito
Do you need something, Senior?
Ryouma
So prejudiced, you call Remi by his name and I'm a 'Senior'?
Ryouma
*chuckles* Then Remi is also your senior
Kaito
*Turns his body slightly away from him, leaning more to Remi*
Right, this is Ryouma. The student body secretary last year and is now the mayor of Class-B4. He is both well-acquinted with Remi and Kaito(kind of) in the recent years
Join the Student Council!
Getting provoked by Ryouma, Kaito could only turn away from him in silence
Remi
*seeing Kaito down he felt sympathetic*
Remi
*move his hand to pat his head*
Remi
That reminds me Ryouma, I wanted to ask what you think I'm good at
Ryouma
? (It’s not like him to ask something like that)
Remi
I was thinking of having to do something this year, so maybe join a club?
Kaito
*look up to Remi tugging him pitifully*
Remi
*turn back to Kaito, helpless look*
Remi
*lay down his palm on his head to appease him*
Ryouma
*astonished delight* Really?
Ryouma
Why didn't you say so?
Ryouma
Doesn't that mean yours wasn't enough so he asked me too?
Kaito
*force a dry smile* What would it serve if you said that?
Ryouma
Then what did you suggest to him...dear junior?
Kaito
Ugh. *uncomfortable grimace*
Remi
It's the broadcast department
Ryouma
Broadcast? Ah, I see
Ryouma
It's because your voice is nice
Ryouma
I bet a lot of girls will notice you for it
Kaito
*hand twitches that was near the chocolate biscuit*
Kaito
*clench hand into a fist*
Remi
(He's enjoying it a little too much)
Kaito
*refusing to see Ryouma's face entirely, leaning even closer to Remi*
The palm that was on his head slid past his neck
Kaito
*still pissed but now a bit distracted*
Kaito
(I wanna snuggle against it)
Ryouma
I think joining the student council will be good for you
Ryouma
Kaito's doing well there since the first
Ryouma
Plus, if you're there we'll be able to spend more time together
Ryouma
Especially with Kaito
Ryouma
*corner of mouth slightly lifts* Right, of course
Ryouma
Because you're in the same organization, you'll be able to catch up with one another more often than what we have now, if not enough
Ryouma
So I think you can be the vice president
Kaito
*shot him a sharp glare*
Remi
*eyes darted* No way. You're even worse
Ryouma
Just give it a try, it's not gonna kill you if you fail no?
Remi
*glance at Kaito who's obviously irritated, then to Ryouma*
Remi
(He's really pushing it)
Remi
*focus to Kaito again* (How can I make him feel better...)
Remi
I'll try broadcasting first, if I don't get accepted then I'll try that vice president or whatever, I've no chance on it anyway
Ryouma
*eyes gleams* Aw, Remi! You really considered my suggestion
Ryouma
Then I'll be expecting it, okay?
Ryouma
*clearly interested on what Remi would show*
Ryouma thought Remi was charismatic in his own way, but Kaito somehow always outshone him.
That's why he wasn't actually joking when he suggested it
Ryouma
Then if you fail that, try being a secretary next
Remi
(Ahh, stop stop can't you see the wolf is gnawing you in his head rn?!)
Remi
*uneasy expression* No thanks, I'll just call it quits.
Ryouma
Let's get you to talk to the Council adviser if you're qualified then!
Kaito
*brows scrunching in disbelief*
