Chapter Text
Arisu sat up in his chair, his back aching. had he fallen asleep while studying again? arisu squinted his eyes while looking at the light shining through the window. what time was it? he thought as he looked at his alarm clock, it flashed "7:04" arisu sighed before standing up and walking out of his room, greeted by his father sitting at the dining room table reading a magazine. Arisu made his way to the fridge, he opened the door and took out the butter, he closed the door walked over to the cabinet and took a piece of bread out and put it into the toaster. He grabbed a knife out of the drawer where they keep all their silverware and opened the butter, grabbing a plate out of the dishwasher and taking his bread out of the toaster. He put butter of his toast and took it too his room. The raven-haired man looked at his calendar and grabbed the purple marker on his desk and crossed out September 17th which also read out "first day of sophomore year. class b2"
Arisu sat his plate down and walked over to his bed, making it. He enjoyed being clean, even if he wasn't all the time. for example, his room was full of dirty laundry, his desk was filled with texted books pencils and pens astray. His mother had always cleaned his room for him while he was at school, God, he missed her. Just thinking about her made arisu break down into tears. But he didn't have time to think about his mom, or cleaning, he needed to get ready. he walked over to his plate of food and eat the toast on it. I'll put the plate in the sink later thought, he walked to the bathroom and turned the water on. He did the normal things you do before school, he showered, shaved, washed his hair, brushed his teeth, got his uniform on, and shoes. He looked at his alarm clock, it now flashed "7:54" Arisu grabbed his backpack and phone and walked out of the door of his house, his father was already waiting for him outside.
"Hurry up you're going to be late." his father said in an annoyed tone.
"I know I'm sorry" arisu sighed while he got into his father's car and put his seatbelt on and checked his phone.
he got quite a lot of texts, but they were only from two people plus a group chat. his two best friends karube and chota. there are the people who helped him get through the death of his mother, though he wasn't fully over it. without them, he would probably be some hikikomori or whatever. chota texted him "can't wait to see you at school, I hope we all get the same class! I'm in b2."and karube wrote "dude all these sophomore girls are so hot omg, maybe you'll finally get a girlfriend. anyways see you at school, I'm in class b2 btw." God arisu loved the both of them so much. Arisu skimmed the group chat, it was mostly just chota and karube talking about how pissed they are that they had to wake up so early. and how hot all the girls in their class are. Before he knew it, he had already made it to school. Like always his father didn't say anything to him as he got out of the car. his two friends were waiting for him outside the school.
"Hey, shit face" karube yelled over to him.
"What took you so long?" chota asked.
"I live like 25 minutes away from the school dude." arisu responded.
"What class are you in?" both of the men asked at the same time. they both looked at each other and karube punched chotas arm. chota winced and both karube and chota looked at arisu.
"b2" arisu responded and smiled.
both chota and karube smiled at each other and chota wiped out his phone, karube bent down and threw the raven-haired man on his shoulders. arisu had forgot how strong karube was, even if arisu didn't weigh any more than 130 pounds.
"GOD DAMNIT, PUT ME DOWN KARUBE" arisu hissed.
arisu continued yelling at the two trying to swat chotas phone away, though it took arisu a minute, he warmed up to being on kabures shoulders and smiled while laughing. both arisu, chota, and karube weren't paying attention to anyone Infront of them, so it wasn't a Suprise they nocked someone over. it was a short blond-haired man. arisu jumped off kabures shoulders and rushed over to the blond.
"Oh my god I'm so sorry are you ok?" arisu asked while holding his hand out to the blond. the blond slapped Arisu's hand out of his face.
"What the hell." the blond said while standing up there was a small cut on his left arm.
"I'm sorry--- let me take you to the nurse.!" arisu said while his two friends just stood behind him.
"it's just a small scratch calm the fuck down." the blond responded.
arisu was about to apologize for the third time, but the blond just walked away. arisu looked behind him and looked at his two friends and they both shrug. arisu and his friends made their way to their class. and looked at the seating chart.
"HELL YEAH!!" karube yelled out, all the students turned and stared at them.
arisu, karube, and chotas seats were all next to each other. they all took a seat; Arisu's seat was right next to the window. after a few the teacher walked in the classroom.
"i think the first thing we should do is intrudes ourselves. I'm Mrs. Suzuki. I'll be your homeroom teacher." Mrs. Suzuki was calling on people alphabetically so arisu was called on first.
"Well, uhm. I'm arisu Ryohei. I'm not sure what else to say hah..." arisu said nervously. everyone clapped and the teacher moved on. the school day continued like that, but arisu was waiting for one thing. the test. he had already promised to his father that he would get top three, but obviously he was aiming for 1st place. and he was sure he would get it. the period before lunch it finally happened.
"Hello, I'm Mr. Tanaka, I'll be the spectator for your stander test. this test is to simply see what level you are currently at."
the whole class groaned as the teacher passed out the paper, arisu was the first one done. it took him about 22 minutes to finish the test. it was 2 pages long and the questions were more difficult than he had expected but he was sure he would get first place.
"Results will be posted outside after lunch" Mr. Tanaka said.
everyone made their way to their cabinets taking out their lunch. a few people hung out in the classroom and chatted. arisu, karube, and chota all decided to look at the people in the rest of the class. they started with class b1. there were a few people in the room along with the teacher who was eating at their desk. They made their way to class b3, arisu only saw one person in the room, they were sleeping. a blond male. a familiar blond male his seat was also next to the window. the sun shining on the man's soft light skin. what the hell arisu thought. why does he look so... the blond slowly opened one eyes and they both made eye contact, arisu quickly looked away.
"let's go to lunch. I'm hungry" arisu said.
the blond smirked and sat up, stretched, and sighed while he watched the raven-haired male walk away. "I'm chishiya" the blond slightly shouted. he was sure the raven-haired man heard him. chishiya stood up and made his way to his cabinet. and took out a bento, it was full of fruits. it was only full of fruits, but there was a bag of biscuits stuffed in with the array of fruits. it was his favorite. chishiya was sure he would get 1st place. there was no way he didn't get 100% he spent all summer studying for sophomore year. it should be easy to pass, and he planned on doing it with perfect grades.
eventually it was the end of lunch, chishiya had finished all of the fruit and the bag of biscuits. chishiya put the bento back into his cabinet and smirked and he made his way outside his classroom. he looked over to his right and he saw the raven-haired man again. he hadn't realized how much taller the other male was. he was taller than his two friends, but unlike the blond male that hung around him, it looked like the taller man couldn't hurt a fly. the taller man was standing infront of the test results. so chishiya made his way over to him. god the height difference was crazy to chishiya, he was about as tall as were the Taller's eyes were. it kind of annoyed chishiya, but at the same thing he liked it? he was sure why, but he put that aside, he walked closer to the raven haired to get a better look at the paper. the taller looked down at chishiya and just walked away while sighing. chishiya walked Infront of the paper and looked at the results. like chishiya expected 100% and 1st place. Chishiya's eyes drifted away from his name and looked below its 2nd place with 99% arisu Ryohei. "arisu huh." chishiya smirked
