Fuyuhiko didn't know what to expect when he walked into class today, but it definitely wasn't this.
Immediately upon entering, Ibuki practically pounced on him, gripping onto his shoulders and staring at him with expectant eyes.
"Fuck is your problem!? Do you wanna die!?" Fuyuhiko screeched, violently shrugging Ibukis hands off of him. The musician composed herself and jumped back, swaying side to side, "Oops! Sooorryyyy~!" she sang. "Anyways Fuyu-Fuyu-" "Don't call me that." Fuyuhiko grumbled, walking over and sitting in his seat. He turned around to wave at Peko who smiled and waved back, meanwhile Ibuki, who didn’t get the hint, bounced over.
"What do ya want!?" Fuyuhiko demanded, furrowing his brows in annoyance. "Don't be so grumpy Fuyu Fuyu~! Ibuki just has a question." Ibuki raised a finger and smiled. Fuyuhiko ignored the embarrassing nickname and sighed, "yeah what do you need..if you need information on killing someone you've got the wrong guy." he mumbled, half jokingly. "Oh don't worry! Ibuki will ask you about that later!" "Huh? Wait wha-" "Anyways! So, Is Kazuichi and Tanaka-kun dating?" Ibuki asked, a sparkle in her eyes.
Fuyuhiko blushed and opened his mouth in disbelief. What kind of question was that? "W-Why the hell are you asking me!? Why would they be dating!?" he stammered, looking at Ibuki in shock. He could hear Pekos giggles behind him. "Welllll you're Kazuichis best friend right?" Ibuki asked, tilting her head to the side.
"Yeah we're close and buddy buddy and shit, but isn't princess buddy with Tanaka too? Go ask her that weird shit!" Fuyuhiko turned around, pretty much done with the whole conversation. "Ibuki did! She thinks we’re right! And there's nothing weird about it, don't be homophobic Fuyu Fuyu!"
"I said don't call me that! I don't think it's weird that they're two guys! I ain't no homophobe, but don't they hate each other? Why would you think they're dating if they can't even be in the same room for 2 seconds?" Fuyuhiko yelled, filled with confusion and failing to understand why Ibuki was saying all this nonsense.
"Welllll, ya know, that's not entirely true.” a voice spoke. It was Akane, who leaned back in her chair and twisted a finger in her ear, "Have you not been seeing them lately?" she asked. “I mean, I saw Souda give Tanaka finger guns and the dude giggled! He never does that!” She yelled, waving her hands for dramatic affect.
“Yeah, they seem pretty close recently.." Chiaki mumbled, playing on her game while Sonia watched. The princess seemed to listen in on the conversation as well, clapping in glee from being able to participate in high school gossip. "This is true! Sometimes Gundham tells me he's busy, but then i'll see him with Souda!" she spoke, wrapping her arms around the gamer.
"Huh? Wait what? No way." Fuyuhiko shook his head. Kazuichi hated Gundham! He had the biggest one sided crush on Sonia and hated Gundham for being friends with her right? So what's all this suddenly? "Kazuichi hates the dude, he rants about him non stop to Hajime, Nagito and I." Fuyuhiko looked over at the luckster who nodded in agreement. "But isn't it so amazing that they're getting along now? Two Ultimates who used to hate each other are getting closer! Truly this is a work of hope!” Nagito beamed, smiling wide. Everyone ignored him.
"What the air headed gym girl says is true!" another voice suddenly spoke up, Hiyoko walked over to Ibuki and Fuyuhiko with her hands on her hips. "The weirdos seem all on each other so suddenly! Like that time when,
**********
Hiyoko walked through the halls, it was just a normal day and if she was honest, she was bored. She had teased Mikan like there was no tomorrow a while ago, but she realized she hadn't teased someone whom she usually targeted, and that was Kazuichi. For some reason, she usually didn't see Kazuichi around his respective areas except for the classroom, and she had missed making fun of the boy. She sighed to herself and puffed out her cheeks in annoyance, just where was that loser?
She rounded a corner and almost screamed of excitement, Thank Nagitos Luck! Not far from her, was Kazuichi. He seemed busy, fiddling with a wrench and some type of device. Hiyoko immediately smiled mischievously and rushed her way over to Kazuichi, snatching the device out his hand.
"H-hey! Saionji!" Kazuichi reached for the device, but Hiyoko moved it out of his reach. "Hey you ugly smelly looking grease money!" she spat, watching as Kazuichi wheezed in shock. "S-Smelly Grease Monkey!? You can't just call people that!" he exclaimed, pointing a finger at her. "But it's true! I could smell you from all the way over there!" Hiyoko stuck out her tongue. "S-Seriously!? Mahiru will kill me!" Kazuichi tugged his cap over his head, whimpering. Hiyoko laughed at the sight and began to mess with the device, "Don't say Mahirus name idiot! You don't deserve to have such a precious name on your dirty tounge!...Anyway, what is this? It looks stupid. Maybe I should break it!"
"Saionji!" Kazuichi once again reached for the device but failed, Hiyoko let out a laugh. She turned around to mess with the device for a bit. "Hmmm, I think I wanna keep it! Until you smell better this will be all mine!"
She turned back around, "forev- a-ah!?"
Hiyoko tensed up, what the hell? One second she turned away from a teary eyed frustrated mechanic, and as soon as she turns back, some intimidating angry looking edgelord was behind him! Gundham stood behind Kazuichi menacingly, staring at Hiyoko with an angry glare. Hiyoko swore she saw black smoke raidiating from behind him. Kazuichi didn't even notice Gundham, staring at Hiyoko with glossy eyes and waiting for her to finish her sentence. He then realized that Hiyoko was in absolute shock and looked at her questioningly, he glanced behind him and raised his eyebrows upon seeing the breeder.
Gundham glanced down at Kazuichi and placed a hand on his shoulder, squeezing it. "Do you need me to destroy this fool Kazuichi?" he asked, making eye contact with Hiyoko.
"O-on second thought..bye!" Hiyoko threw the device at Kazuichi who catched it before picking up the bottom of her Kimono and running away, holding in the urge to scream at the horrifying sight she saw.
**********
"Can you believe it!" Hiyoko finished, slumping onto Fuyuhikos desk. "That edge lord stared at me like he was disgusted or something! I'm not disgusting!" she whined. "Well at least Souda knows i'll kill him for not washing that jumpsuit.." Mahiru mumbled. “As if Gundham would even let you!” Nekomaru butted in. Mahiru faced the team manager and rolled her eyes, not even caring. “I’ll make sure to have a word with Tanaka Hiyoko." Mahiru finished, making the dancer smile.
"W-Wait- You're telling me T-Tanaka was p-p-protecting Souda?" Mikan suddenly spoke timidly. "H-how strange!" she gasped, the other students murmured in agreement. "Yeah the stupid slob is right! It's strange and annoying as hell!" Hiyoko shouted, Mikan began to apologize profusely and Akane rushed over, attempting to calm her down. "See! They're definitely dating!” Ibuki chirped, slamming her fist into her palm. “So tell us already!”
"Wait- him wanting you to stop making fun of Kazuichi doesn't mean they're dating you idiot!" Fuyuhiko sighed, pushing Hiyoko off his desk. "Okay so? They're still close as hell, it's weird!" Hiyoko responded, placing her hands on her hips.
"And don't think we don't see the way Souda looks at Tanaka either!" Akane chirped, raising a fist in the air. Teruteru giggled, placing a hand on his chin. "Why yes, I've noticed that as well! He gives Tanaka, the bedroom eyes~" Teruteru whispered the last bit, chuckling as he finished his sentence.
"Yeah..I-i've seen that too.." an unexpected voice mumbled. It was Ryota, who was still animating, however, he looked up to say that before putting his head back down. "Isn’t he like antisocial as fuck!? And he noticed how Souda looks at Tanaka as well!” Akane laughed, slapping a hand across her knee. Chiaki yawned and put her hand up, "that makes two of us.."
Fuyuhiko was practically melting in his seat. "What the fuck are you all talking about!? Are you sure it's Bedroom eyes? Or maybe it's 'I want to kill you for being close to Sonia' eyes! It's probably that!" Fuyuhiko shouted, pointing to Sonia who only giggled. “Why, I don’t think that at all infant gangster!”
“You too!?”
"It's definitely bedroom eyes!!" Another loud voice boomed, belonging to none other than Nekomaru. He pointed and dragged his finger to each of the pupils, who looked at him in anticipation. "Let me tell you all 'bout this!..
**********
Nekomaru exited the restroom, sighing happily. "Now, time to train train train!" he yelled excitedly, happy to get back to working out. He entered the hallways and greeted various underclassmen and children in his grade, Though, he didn't expect to see Gundham and Kazuichi together.
Gundham was smiling, having a conversation with Kazuichi while the other was blushing and looking away. After a few seconds, Gundham said something which made Kazuichi looked towards him with a pervish grin, placing his hand on his chest and slumping lightly with a now heavy blush across his face. Curious, Nekomaru quickly marched over to them with his hands on his hips. Once reaching them, he gave out a long whistle. "Never thought I'd see you two together! Especially seeing Souda staring like a dog in heat! Haha!" he boomed, laughing whole heartedly. Immediately, Kazuichi and Gundham leaped away from each other and frowned. "What are you implying?" Gundham asked, rolling his eyes.
"Huh? Weren't ya just talking together?" Nekomaru raised an eyebrow, was he going crazy? "Whaddaya talking about..? I can never have a normal conversation with this dude." Kazuichi pointed his thumb at Gundham and the breeder tsked in response. "My astral power is simply too far for you to converse with me mortal." Gundham let out an evil laugh, making Kazuichi roll his eyes. "See!?" he sighed dramatically. Nekomaru looked between them both, and decided to shrug the interaction he saw off. He was way too worried about how much his friends were fighting instead.
"Hm, I think some gym time will make us all get along!" Nekomaru grinned. The two boys began to sweat nervously at this, "H-huh? Gym?" Kazuichi stammered, glancing at Gundham. "Yup, now come on!" Nekomaru grinned and held both boys by the collar, dragging them towards the gymnasium.
When the three reached the gym Nekomaru dropped the two boys down, noticing how Kazuichi instantly asked the other if he was alright. Nekomaru chose not to comment on it, knowing he'd probably get some lame excuse.
"Right then! Both of ya, take off your shirts! We're gonna get sweaty!!" Nekomaru grinned. "But, i'll just be training ya." he finished, placing his hands on his hips. "Uh..I just finished lifting some heavy machinery so.." Kazuichi frowned, inching away and placing his hands behind his back. "Oh? Then looks like it's just me and you Gundham! And I won't take no for an answer!" the trainer huffed, pointing at the breeder. "..right..if you wish to see my mortal vessel so bad, then so be it!" Gundham glanced over towards Kazuichi with a smirk on his face and began to remove his shirt.
Once it was off, Nekomaru couldn't help but whistle. Gundham had FORM. He wasn't the strongest but he could definitely tell Gundham worked out. "Wow! I didn't know you hit the gym Gundham!" Nekomaru beamed, suddenly thinking about taking Gundham under his wing and training him as an athlete. "Well, I wish to keep my mortal vessel as powerful as possible.” Gundham grinned, flexing his biceps. Nekomaru turned around to Kazuichi, using his thumb to point at Gundham. He opened his mouth to ask for Kazuichis opinion but stopped upon seeing his face.
Kazuichis whole entire face was bright red, he had his hands over his eyes but his fingers were spread apart so he could still peek. His mouth was hanged open and he was mumbling things Nekomaru couldn't even hear. "Woah Souda! Didn't know you had a thing for Gundham!" Nekomaru boomed, taken by surprise. "Cease all foolish thoughts from your mind at once!" Gundham huffed, crossing his arms. "If we do not begin at this very second, I shall banish you to the realms down below!" Gundham began walking over towards various workout equipment and Nekomaru hurried to catch up to him.
During the entire time, Nekomaru swore he could feel Kazuichis lingering stare on Gundham.
**********
"And that's what happened! That sly mechanic has been oogling animal boy, and we haven't even noticed!" Nekomaru yelled, moving his hands for a dramatic affect. Ibuki wolf whistled and Peko broke out into laughs.
“Wait- i'm with Kuzuryu on this one." Mahiru spoke, placing her hands on her hips. "Souda could've been staring at him in envy! or anything!" she added, totally in disbelief at what she was hearing. Fuyuhiko sighed in relief. Finally! Someone was on his side!
"Did you not hear the part about where Nidai mentioned they were speaking and smiling?" Sonia asked, looking over at the class who began to surround Fuyuhikos desk. Mahirus eyes widened and she awkwardly scratched her neck. "Oh..guess I did forget that."
Fuyuhiko sighed once again, nevermind.
"Tell us baby face!" Hiyoko yelled, slamming her hands on Fuyuhikos desk. "Yeah tell us baby gangsta!" Akane smirked, wrapping her hand around Fuyuhikos neck. "Fuyu Fuyu is hiding somethingggg~" Ibuki spun around in glee, giving the yakuza a peace sign.
"You, shut up!" Fuyuhiko shouted, pointing at Hiyoko. "And you get off of me!" he shoved Akane away, finally turning his attention to Ibuki. "Stop calling me that!" His face was turning red from embarrassment and anger, when will this end!?
"Oopsies~" Ibuki pressed her knuckles against her head and stuck out her tongue, winking playfully.
"Oh Tanaka and Souda are definitely fucking." Teruteru whispered to Pekoyama, who nodded in agreement prompting Fuyuhiko to turn around and give them both a look. “No they’re not! You all are just making assumptions!” The gangster yelled, standing up and clenching his hands into a fist. The group backed up and Nagito walked over to place a hand on Fuyuhikos shoulder and sit him down. “Fuyuhiko, they’re just curious is all.” Peko spoke smiling softly at him as Fuyuhiko reluctantly shut his mouth. If it weren’t for Peko and Nagito, he probably would’ve beaten up the entire room.
“Does anyone else have some shitty story explaining why Kazuichi and Tanaka are fucking?” Fuyuhiko asked, darting his eyes around the classroom.
“I do.." Mikan whispered while raising a hand, just loud enough for everyone to hear. “I-Ibuki and I witnessed something..n-not assuming they’re p-performing sexual i-intercourse that is!! J-just that they’re close..”
"All right! It's me and Mikans turn!" Ibuki wrapped her arm around the nurses waist, pulling her closer.
“Ugh, you two better have something good! So baby gangsta can tell us already!” Hiyoko pointed at the two.
"ah..y-yeah..so Ibuki and I w-were in the infirmary..
**********
Mikan finished bandaging Ibukis arm with a sigh. "P-please be careful next time.." she asked, Ibuki nodded and saluted to the nurse. "You can count on Ibuki! For being sooo helpful and cute, Ibuki will be extra careful!” the musician yelled, wrapping her arms around the nurse. “Ah..y-yeah..” Mikan smiled and patted Ibukis head. The doors to the infirmary opened and both girls looked towards the entrance, watching as Gundham and Kazuichi entered, Kazuichi was covered in various scratch marks across his face.
“E-EEK!” Mikan yelped while rushing towards them, Ibuki gasped and followed after, why was Kazuichi covered in so much scratches? “What happened!?” Mikan asked, placing a hand on Kazuichis face and tilting it over to examine the scratches. Gundham furrowed his brows at this and glanced to the side. “Looks like Kazu got eaten by a bear!” Ibuki concluded, poking a finger at Kazuichis cheeks.
“Don’t do that Ibuki..” the mechanic grumbled, sitting on a nearby chair. Ibuki apologized and stepped aside, allowing Mikan to examine him more. “S-So what happened?” Mikan asked again, glancing towards Gundham. “My hell beasts, have harmed him.” Gundham sighed, looking guilty as ever. “I should’ve been much more careful with them..I send thousands of apologies your way Kaz- Souda.” Gundham looked towards the ground, frowning. “This act is unforgivable..I am not fit to rule..I shall turn over my title as Overlord of Ice..” Gundham posed dramatically, making Ibuki smirk.
“Tanaka dude- I said it’s okay.” Kazuichi huffed and gave an awkward smile. Mikan raised an eyebrow at the two, she glanced over at Ibuki who gave her a knowing look. How did Kazuichi get hurt by Gundhams animals? And why did Gundham seem to care so much? Didn’t they hate each other?
“I-It’s good to see you two g-getting along!” Mikan smiled softly, immediately Gundham and Kazuichi tensed up. “Absolutely not! I care not for this fiend! Heal him and send him away!” Gundham yelped, leaving the room. “Yeah screw that weirdo!” Kazuichi crossed his arms and scowled. Mikan rolled her eyes and began to patch up Kazuichi while Ibuki chased after Gundham.
**********
“I-it was pretty strange..” Mikan finished, Ibuki nodded and placed her hands on her hips, “Yeah! And Ibuki went to go mess and tease our Overlord! He said something to me in pig latin I think! oink oink oink oink oink!” Ibuki began to mimic a pig and hopped around Fuyuhikos desk, making the blondie ball up his fists in annoyance.
Just as Fuyuhiko was going to land a fist in Ibukis face, the door opened and in stepped Chisa Yukizome, looking surprised to see the class together. “Oh my, what’s this?” she asked, holding back a smile. “These fuckers won’t leave me alone!” Fuyuhiko yelled, done with everyone’s bullshit.
“Now now class, back to your seats. Whatever was going on is officially done with.” Chisa pointed at each student and waved her hands along the rows of empty desks. Every single student except for Chiaki and Ryota had moved to crowd Fuyuhikos desk. Hiyoko sighed dramatically, “But Kuzuryu hasn’t told us yet!” she whined, slumping back to her seat. Fuyuhiko scowled at her as she simply smirked at him. “Huh? What do you mean?” Chisa asked, placing her hands on her hips and raising an eyebrow.
“About Gundham and Soudas sudden closeness of course!” Sonia chirped, enjoying all the gossip and drama even if it was about her best friend. “Oh? What’s this about?” Chisa asked, turning towards Fuyuhiko. “They think they’re dating or fucking or close friends or- look, I don’t fucking know! Can we please start class.” Fuyuhiko pleaded, he had hoped Chisa would save him and shut down the rumors, or better yet just tell everyone to shut the hell up, but that proved not to be the case. “Well I think I know the answer to that..” Ms Chisa began, smirking slightly.
“Not you too..” Fuyuhiko frowned.
“Another flashback! How wonderful!” Nagito clapped, smiling happily. “Huh? Flashback?” Mahiru asked, facing the lucky student. “What are you talking ab-”
“So!” Chisa interrupted, “It was before classes…
**********
Chisa walked the halls, her head held high and a smile on her face. In a few minutes, she would be teaching her favorite students ever! Chisa loved being a teacher there was no doubt about that. However, she did dislike the fact she had to stop her students from not skipping.
Today, she decided to check by each of their rooms and make sure they were heading to home room or would head to home room before they were be counted as late. The only ones who haven’t been in their room was Gundham and Kazuichi, which sent Chisa into a bit of worry.
The two did not get along very well, so what if they met up to fight somewhere? Ms Chisa sighed, already assuming the worst. “I knew I should’ve assigned them in more projects together..” she huffed, completely forgetting the fact that she made them be together 24/7 due to their fighting. She continued her way down the hallway, hoping to see the two somewhere together. Maybe fighting, or talking, or getting along but who cares! Chisa could only hope it was the latter two.
She passed by a janitor closet, only to stop when she heard voices inside. She peered at the door questioningly, her brows furrowed and a blush grew on her face. “These damn kids..” she whispered. “Why can’t they keep it somewhere private!” she sighed and knocked on the door. “Helllooo? If you’re in here, I’m going to open the door!” she yelled, pressing her ear against the door. She waited for a bit before moving to open the door, but before she could even do that she saw a flash of blue and purple immediately rush past her and run down the hallways.
“Hey!” she cried upon noticing it was Kazuichi and Gundham. She immediately gave chase and waved her hands at them. “Get back here! That’s not where class is!”
**********
“I caught em eventually, and Kazuichi had kiss marks all over his face.” Chisa finished, a determined smile on her face.
At this point, Fuyuhiko was in practically going through shock. Almost the whole class had something to say about those two, he couldn’t even defend Kazuichi anymore! This was practically an investigation scene! He looked towards Sonia for help but the princess only shrugged and kindly smiled. “So Fuyuhiko, tell me, do you know anything?” Chisa asked, sounding like a high school girl.
“Okay look. Seriously I have no fuckin clue! I mean where are those two anyway- why can’t you just ask them yourselves when they both get he-”
Fuyuhiko was interrupted by the door opening, the students and Chisa looked towards the door and watched as Ishimaru Kiyotaka, the hall monitor, poked his head through the entrance. “Ms.Yukizome! Here, I have two of your students who were engaged in PDA!” he stated clearly, giving a salute. Chisa looked at the boy curiously, “Oh? and who may that be?” she asked, already knowing the obvious answer.
Ishimaru walked in and ushered two boys in as well, and to no one’s surprise, Kazuichi and Gundham shamefully entered, avoiding contact with any of their classmates. Kazuichis jumpsuit was zipped down a little, exposing various marks on his collar. Gundhams entire face was covered by his scarf, but the class could just barely see pink lip marks covering his face. Ishimaru told the two they both have detention before exiting the classroom, leaving everyone (except Sonia and Nagito) in shock.
“Well. There goes your answers.” Fuyuhiko spoke, turning his attention over to the front of the room, and listening as both Hiyoko and Ibuki yelled ‘I knew it!’.
