"..I'm turning eighteen on the 7th," Kuro said hesitantly. "Ooh! That's in about 8 days!" Ryui's ears perked up when Mizuki said that. His mouth opened like he was about to say something, when Chikako cut him off, "8 days?" She scoffed and turned to Ryui. "Why does your birthday have to be November 20th?!"
"Chikako can you stop saying information about me out loud?" Ryui slurred. Chikako then started putting on an innocent act trying to sound like the victim, "I-i'm sorry my dear." Ryui clicked his tongue, "Chikako, stop it." His brows furrowed in anger.
Ryui was fuming, Kuro and Mizuki listened in on their conflict. Luckily, they reached the principal's office before anything more intense happened.
Mizuki knocked on the door, "You may come in!" The principal called out. Mizuki opened the door and we all went in. "What brings you here today?"
"We got called in becau–" Kuro tried to speak but then Ryui talked over him, "Because Chikako kept bothering me in class. Ryui and Mizuki weren't involved."
Chikako rolled her eyes and scoffed, "Likewise."
Mrs. Aiko spoke up, "Likewise huh? Well why don't you tell us your side of the story?" Chikako's cheeks blushed up, "Uhm, uh.. No thanks.." Kuro was thinking deeply about something. Lost in thought, he didn't hear Mrs. Aiko talking to him.
"Kuro, Kuro?" Mrs. Aiko was trying to get his attention, "Yes–?" Kuro snapped out of his trance.
"What did you do that made you come here?"
"..Uh"
Kuro hesitated, when suddenly Ryui jumped in again, "He did nothing, he was sitting behind us so the professor probably thought that him and Kuro did something," He said confidently.
"Is that true Kuro?" Mrs. Aiko asked judgingly, Kuro was confused, but didn't wanna get in trouble so he nodded his head. When suddenly, the hair on the back of his neck stood up. He could feel someone's warmth closely behind him. Then Ryui's voice was heard, just low enough so Kuro could hear it.
"Good boy.."
Kuro's ears and the back of his neck flushed again, "God, you look so cute when you're blushing."
"Please excuse me!" Kuro then pushed up using the desk in front of him and ran out of the room. Leaving everybody in there silent but Ryui, he was grinning sinisterly.
Back with Kuro, he was in the bathroom. Splashing water on his face. Trying to make himself stop blushing.
Crreeaakk!
The door opened. He looked over and it was Ryui. His emerald-green eyes met Kuro's ruby-red eyes, "Puppy, why do you keep running?" Ryui asked in a mischievous voice. He then started to stride over to Kuro, getting closer and closer with each step.
"What do you want..?"
"I want you to stop running away, got it?"
"...But why wouldn't I run away?" Kuro asked, trying to throw him off. "Because I don't like it when you keep running, it's like a game of cat and mouse." Ryui said with a straight face.
Kuro was gonna laugh, but kept a poker face and cleared his throat. The tension in the room was so strong it could be cut with a knife. "Ah, about your birthday, is it really on the 20th?" Ryui nodded, "Yeah, it is. What's it to you?"
"..Who–who do you think your fated mate will be?" He asked, trying not to sound suspicious.
