Procrastinator's Homework~
When I woke up the next morning, there was already someone going around in the kitchen preparing food. I waltzed over and found Emma on the spot making us breakfast, she was quite an early bird, wasn't she? The person that followed behind me was Hinata so, I wiggled my eyebrows at her because a random idea entered my mind. There was always time for chaos.
"Watch this," I told Hinata as I put my hands around Emma, giving her a back-hug while voicing.
"You're the best girlfriend ever." She seemed first shook at first but later responded.
"Are you planning to start another fight with Draken?" I shook my head in denial of such accusations this early in the morning.
"I already told him I wouldn't steal his girlfriend, but I can steal as many hugs I want when he's not around. Also, I have other tall people to annoy." Hakkai was one of them, I guess in turn karma hit me with Taiju.
Soon enough Emma requested our help and we started with cutting and finding stuff around the kitchen, I in fact had more experience in the finding game since I used this kitchen previously.
"So what are your plans for today?" I was wondering whether it was the perfect time to drag Taiju's ass on a date, but then a thought hit me that I had no clue where the best fortune tellers were located. I didn't want to get scammed with a scenario where the person would try to please us.
"I am planning to go on a shopping spree with Yuzuha, Senju, and Momo." I nodded but soon inquired.
"Right Emma do you have any good fortune-telling places?" I asked once the food was finished and all the three other girls rose from the bed.
"Why are you asking?" Yuzuha seemed to be really curious so I decided to tell her the truth.
"I can't seem to get rid of Taiju's ass no matter what I say or do... so I thought maybe if he hears from another party that can foresee the future that we are not meant to be, he will piss off once and for all." Yuzuha nodded but soon Emma questioned.
"What are you gonna do if the fortune teller says the opposite, which I actually do doubt since there is another person meant for you Michi." I took a guess the person whose name she changed to boyfriend in my contact list was indeed Keisuke, how many more people would join this club I had no clue. But there was no way I and Taiju were compatible, right? I mean he had his sweet moments, but every time I felt something was starting to spark, he managed to ruin the moment.
Another problem was, that my type wasn't muscular giants, I liked cute and pretty boys. I nodded my head at my thought, but then Senju voiced her opinion.
"But can't you just beat him up? Rather than going around in circles? If you want me Benkei and Wakasa can do it for you." I shook my head, I knew that if I pissed him off his stupid ass would take out his anger on other people.
"Yuzuha expressed that since he met me, he suddenly calmed down a little and stopped being so aggressive toward everyone, so I assume if I piss him off he will just resort to his old ways and beat up Yuzuha and Hakkai to take out his anger about the situation. Compared to that, a few dates and spending some time with his annoying ass is nothing." Yuzuha gasped at the news.
"That's the first thing I hear about it." She seemed moved and that's when she said something outrageous again.
"I changed my mind, if you want to date Hakkai you can." I choked on the miso soup I was drinking.
"I'm already lost Michi, so who do you even like?" Emma questioned since she guessed we two must have had a conversation about it. I sighed, when would people realize I just liked to mess around with guys, as friends.
"No one on the radar so far, listen if I find someone I like you guys will be the first to know so stop asking about the love stuff." They seemed content with it.
"So Hinata what are you up to today?" Emma just elbowed her playfully while Hinata just fidged her fingers while admitting.
"'I'm going on a date with Takemichi to the Zoo." We cheered for her, and some of the girls asked if they were planning to kiss there somewhere causing Hinata to blush from the embarrassment.
"You go girl!" was my only comment, but this interaction made me wonder if I should drag Kazutora to a Zoo as well. Maybe he would like it, I could totally point at the tigers and tell him that his family was waiting for him. The other girls wanted me to tag along on the shopping spree but as I was about to accept their offer, I got a call from the contact who of course was named Boyfriend.
"Yes, Keisuke what do you want?" I asked as he started to scream on the other end.
"Michi! You need to help me this is an emergency!" What kind of emergency could he be dealing with?
"My mom found out I didn't complete my summer homework yet, and I'm grounded till I finish it!" I sighed, why was I the first person he thought of?
"What about Chifuyu can't he help you?" Suddenly Senju spoke up.
"He's actually away, he's visiting his grandparents apparently." So he told it to Senju but not me? I felt betrayed, I thought we were better friends than that, Chifuyu!
"Can you help me out, please?" Keisuke seemed to have heard Senju since he didn't explain Chifuyu's circumstances himself.
"Go Michi, maybe something fun will happen?" Emma tried to encourage me, snickering as I sighed in defeat, since he was so desperate I could, maybe?
'Would you rather visit Keisuke Baji or suggest even an additional date with Taiju Shiba?' At this point, I wasn't too sure which guy was the system's favorite.
"Sure, sure I will come over." I wasn't expecting him to cheer this loudly, then again that reaction was kind of cute.
So after leaving Yuzuha's house I went straight to Keisuke's. I managed to come across the boss of this household.
"Did Keisuke invite you?" I guess he forgot to mention it.
"Good morning, and yes he desperately wanted help with his homework." She nodded her head as I soon heard her mumble.
"Rich and smart, at least he has good taste in girls." but shortly a question about my academic achievements came from nowhere, I guess she wanted to make sure I was as smart as I was letting on.
"If you don't mind me asking how is your performance in school?" I decided to answer her since I didn't want to seem too rude it was her domain I was venturing into after all. At least maybe then she would leave us alone instead of watching us like an eagle.
"Last time I got second place." She nodded her head.
"Like in class?" I shook my head.
"Whole school." Upon hearing this, her voice become so excited and she even offered me tea because apparently, Keisuke mentioned it to her somehow.
"This child bought a package of tea, in case you came visiting again." And now she was telling me all his good deeds to make him shinier in my eyes, a good strategy you got there Keisuke's mom. She proceeded to make a cup, in the fanciest thing she owned it seemed.
So when I stepped into Keisuke's room he was sitting there surrounded by books that were scattered on the tiny table, his fake eyeglasses resting on his nose as he was trying his hardest to write one singular kanji.
"I'm here." He looked up and suddenly his face beamed with happiness. His mom put the cup of tea down together with some snacks and went out, not before throwing a comment directed at her son.
"Don't mess it up." He gulped at this single interaction, but as soon the door closed he took off his glasses and leaped onto me.
"Thanks for coming!" My face grimaced for being put in this tight hug.
"Are you so desperate for having someone to dump your homework on?" He shook his head and replied.
"Just happy to see you." So instead of getting right into studying, he began to chatter.
"How about you transfer to my school instead? Then we can hang around even more." I shook my head.
"No thank you, I'm happy with my more prestigious school you know." Apparently somehow it was fancier, I didn't want to experience that many fights which would stress me out, and talk about distraction in school. I just wanted to sit by my desk in silence and draw.
"How about we go to the same high school instead?" Only if he survived that is, couldn't go inside the school with ashes, that would be weird.
"You do realize it won't work out, as things stand as of now... Sure I don't need to make it into the most prestigious school or anything, but on the other spectrum I don't want to join some shit hole that has a lot of troublemakers in it, I like my peace and quiet and alone time in school." Keisuke nodded realizing that he probably wouldn't get as outstanding grades as I did. He suddenly looked sad. I wasn't sure what to say to cheer him up but noticed that he still had a band-aid at the place I bit his finger previously as a cat.
I picked up his hand and put a small kiss on his finger, but why did it feel like my cheeks suddenly felt hotter.
"What was that about?" Keisuke asked as the first thing that came to mind was.
"To make it better." I thought his first reaction would be to say he wasn't a kid anymore, but instead, he pointed at his forehead and confidently stated.
"It hurts here too, can you make it better as well?" I just laughed baffling him because the first thing that came to my mind was.
"Did your brain overheat from all the thinking?" He didn't seem too happy at the comment.
"Forget about it," he muttered after returning to his spot and putting on the glasses once more. That's when a mission arrived.
'Would you rather fulfill Keisuke's Baji request or tell him he's smart?' Well smart in fights that's what he was, but I decided to just fulfill his request since it felt quicker.
So I walked over grabbed his face gently and put a peck on his forehead.
"There to protect your brain from overworking itself." I joked but then had to live with the fact that he suddenly needed a 10-minute break as he ran away to the toilet, I just spread myself on the floor like butter waiting for this guy to come back.
When he did we could finally begin his homework assignment, I had to go thru every single kanji one by one as I needed to make sure I knew what he was trying to write.
Naturally, after one hour he decided to have a break and teach me about some more moves, and then snatched my phone as a joke, only to unlock it and discover the number which had the title boyfriend on it.
"Michi... you have a boyfriend?" I should have changed it when I got the chance, shouldn't I? This is what happens when you're too lazy.
"I will find out who it is," he said already hitting call as I struggled to snatch it back. I reckon suddenly he had the determination to use his strength to be annoying, but then his phone started to ring.
"Aren't you going to pick it up?" I asked as he shook his head.
"This is more important." I just shrugged my shoulders as I wanted to see how long will it take for him to realize he was phoning himself. I lay on the floor, put the bowl with snacks beside me, and just watched the comedy show that was playing itself before my eyes.
"He's not picking up, let me try again." I nodded as he once again heard his phone buzz.
"Who is it?!" He seemed to get more impatient but he once more refused to acknowledge the caller. It took him three times to finally realize the person that was calling him was called Michi.
"Wait what?" He looked at my phone, then at his, and then at me.
"Took you long enough," I said smirking at him, he seemed so bewildered.
"Yesterday Emma changed all my contact names and renamed yours to boyfriend," I explained, I could tell that his brain rewired to mischievous behaviors in a span of a second because this guy came closer while whispering.
"Did you keep it because you wish it was the reality right now?" I had to flick his forehead because he once again didn't reconsider my personal space.
"You can always dream big Keisuke, but now go back to homework so I don't need to think about it no more." He sat down thankfully but then dared to utter.
"Sometimes you remind me of my mom." which made me reply.
"Try to say that again and I will chase you around with a flip flop." Gotta stick to the script he given me, ain't I right?
I spent nearly the whole day helping him out, I was suprised I had this much patience, because at times I just wanted to take out a paper, make him dictate what he wanted to say, write it down and make him copy everything. But hey this way he wouldn't learn much.
