"Are you thinking something cheesy?" Chifuyu blurted out unconsciously, just from feeling the little tingle on her spine.
"Also stop acting like a little girl," Chifuyu said, separating the embrace and looking at Sora who has slightly watery eyes.
"Nee~san~," Sora said, on a cute voice recuperating the joke by getting his voice to sound like a little girl. They looked at each other and ended up bursting out laughing, completely erasing the gloomy mood.
What they didn't know is that they have one audience who not only saw them hugging also saw Chifuyu-sensei laughing which is quite rare as she is usually cold and a little scary.
'What the heck... is this a teacher and student romance!? also, it's Sora too!' This guy who is currently carrying a box of things from the art class and is hiding behind the door is Yuuma Kunimi a tall and sporty youth who not only is popular among his peers because he plays as one of the starters in the soccer club he is also a recent friend of Sora.
'I should not disturb them... that Chifuyu-sensei is scary' Yuuma thought, remembering that incident where he accidentally hit her on the forehead by a soccer ball, he shivered silently.
Yuuma slowly and step by step tried to go further than the teacher's office and decided to come back later to return the things from their art class, whom Sora missed by the way.
But like all cliche things in life a paintbrush slowly but surely slid itself and rolled towards the edge of the fully-packed box. Yuuma saw this and tried to reach it using his right hand, and as a soccer player who needs fast reaction time to play, he caught it. but the other hand which is holding the box tilted and fell into the floor creating a loud sound across the corridor.
"Sh*t" Yuuma cursed, holding the only thing that did not fall... the paintbrush.
Sora and Chifuyu heard the sounds of falling objects outside, they stopped laughing.
"Check it... I need more sleep... then go back to class the second period should be starting soon." Chifuyu said, as she put down her coffee and feeling sleepy again, and signaled Sora to stand up from the couch.
Sora walked out of the office and saw Yuuma Kunimi picking up the canvases in a hurry.
"Yo... Yuuma, you guys just finished the art class?" Sora said, crouching down and started picking up the things too.
"Y... yes... Yo..." Yuuma said, startled by Sora suddenly popping out from the office and how casually Sora acted.
'Maybe they didn't know? Well... that's good.' Yuuma thought, sighing internally and felt relieved.
"Sensei said... you should visit him later to finish your canvas too," Yuuma said, going back to his carefree self finding out that they seem to not know anything that he saw them.
"Yeah, I'll do that after class," Sora said,
'I need to catch up on a week's work too because even though I top the exam I still have to pass to get to a university because if one of my subjects fails. everything, the national exam, and the efforts will be for nothing. And going back a year is not an option, I barely even got the money for my father's kidney transplant so paying another year of high school fee will add another problem because my semi scholarship only covers up to three years of schooling meaning, I need to pay another year if I fail. so I need to pass every subject and get the hell out of high school.' he thought finding another inspiration.
Yuuma nodded and said nothing, and continued picking up the things and putting it back into the box, but just like earlier, it is super full so Sora has to carry the other once that can't fit because it will fall again.
They got into the office, and Yuuma saw Chifuyu sleeping on the couch hugging her knees because of the cold caused by the open window.
"It's raining... quite heavily too," Sora said putting the canvases and moved towards the open window which causes the room to become cold and closed it. He then gets the blanket that is hanging on Chifuyu's chair and covered her with it.
'They really... are in a relationship... they are even showing it openly too.' Yuuna thought, a little shocked by how open they are at showing it to strangers though he is not a stranger because he is a friend of Sora and attended a class of Chifuyu before but... Nevermind. Yuuma thought, taking his eyes away from them and look out onto the pouring rain outside.
"it's quite heavy indeed..." Yuuma said, agreeing to Sora as he put on the last piece on canvas onto the table then put the box down onto the floor.
Yuuna saw Sora looking up onto the T.V whose currently airing the News, it is the news channel of their city.
"A Typhoon recently entered our Area Of Responsibility and is currently heading towards our City, it is predicted that it will hit the City by noon. The government has approved the cancelation of classes, and the residents are advised to stay indoors and await further notice." A male anchor said as he pointed at the map as to where it is heading.
"What's the cause of such sudden typhoon?" The female anchor said to her male companion.
"It was originally predicted to not enter our country but it suddenly made a turn which caused it to slightly tilt its course and it headed towards our country, our City." The male answered.
"Seems like we'll be going back early today," Yuuma said, standing beside Sora who is listening intently.
"I'll wake up Chifuyu-sensei you go back to the class. I'm sure the school will announce something soon." Sora said.
"Mhm... Okay, I'll do that." Yuuma complied and was about to walk out the door...
"Oh... yeah tell Takako Kubuchizawa to wait on the entrance for me... Thank you" Sora quickly said seeing his 'messenger' is getting ready to go.
Yuuna nodded though he felt a little offended somehow.
