⚜⸶𝚿⸷⚜

Good grief. Saiki was currently sat in the middle of the changing room, waiting for everyone to leave. He really was not up for any social interaction, or being noticed . Gross. It was much easier to wait and then get changed.

Ah, right, he should explain why he is not getting changed in PE while everyone is in the room. Yesterday, the only-girls dessert buffet was on again, and of course Saiki went. The coffee jelly was amazing. He then met Teruhashi and Yumehara at the buffet again, and ended up talking with them, and was then roped into coming to Teruhashi’s house. Obviously, he couldn’t refuse, he’d be hunted down, so he was stuck there until 10 at night, and once he finally got home, some of his distant relatives were over for the night, and he couldn’t just detransform infront of them, they don’t know about his powers, that’d be stupid! Somehow, he managed to convince everyone that ‘Kuriko and Kusuo were twins’, despite being the same person, and he couldn’t detransform in his room because all the kids were in there. When he woke up in the morning later, everyone was still in the house, so he left, went into an alleyway, and began to detransform.

And god hates him, so obviously he didn’t get to fully turn back.

Nendou and Kaidō both found him in the alleyway and dragged him to school. In the end, Saiki didn’t get enough time to fully return to his male body. Currently, he had something similar to his regular appearance, but with a more effeminate body, voice, and female… parts. He couldn’t return to his normal body, because someone would notice his shrinking chest and growing shoulders. So, he had to wait. And wait. And maybe wait a bit longer. And good grief, why was everyone taking so long?

After an agonising 15 minutes, practically everyone had left, minus Nendou and Kaidō, who were waiting for Saiki. “Buddy, are you ready?” Kaidō rolled his eyes. “Obviously not! He’s not dressed!” “Oh.” Nendou just nodded.

‘I’ll get dressed soon. Just go to PE.’

Kaidō nodded and dragged Nendou out of the room. Saiki sighed, enjoying the emptiness of the room, before pulling out his usual PE clothes and getting changed. First was his shirt…

Huh. He was wearing a pink, lacy bra. He didn’t usually get extra clothes when he transformed, but whatever. It was a bit uncomfortable, though. Maybe he should apport it with a sports bra…

Yeah, that seemed reasonable. Saiki undid the strap on the back of the bra, pulling it off and quickly using clairvoyance to find a sports bra, preferably one of his moms, since they were similar sizes and she wouldn’t mind a new bra. Ah, here's one- it was plain, white, and lightly binding. Perfect. He swapped them out and began to pull the sports bra over his head, facing away from the door. A stupid decision on his part, but he would hear someone before they come in anyways.

Of course, Saiki was god’s most hated, so somebody walked in. There was only one person, however, so Saiki pretended as if he didn’t hear them and continued to get dressed. It probably was just Takahashi or something anyways, and he wouldn’t snitch. Probably.

Saiki’s trans?

But, of course, it wasn’t Takahashi. Instead, it was Satou. Satou Hiroshi. As in, the most average guy at PK. Saiki sounded like a main character in a Disney Channel movie, but he had no other way to describe Satou. He was just… average. Perfectly so, if Saiki may add.

Oh, god, he stopped moving, did he notice me? I should apologise for walking in on him.

Saiki realised Satou thought he could hear him (which he could, but that doesn’t matter), and quickly continued to get dressed, making Satou think he just got a bit stuck while getting dressed, a normal assumption. He just grabbed his water bottle (an average thing to leave in the changing rooms!!) and left quietly, with no trace he was there. Saiki, realising he paused getting dressed again to think of Satou, sped up and shoved on his shirt, which was, unfortunately, a size too small for him. So his body was very visible through the shirt. Including his chest. Huh. So this was his punishment for apporting his bra? Seems a little excessive.

Well, he could just apport his shirt with someone else’s who was already in the yard, but whose shirt would be big enough that it hid his body, but small enough that they wouldn’t really notice the difference? Kaidō and Nendou were both out of the question, so was Kuboyasu, because of his muscles, maybe Hairo? No, it’d be too sweaty and uncomfortable, and people would question it. Takahashi? Absolutely not. Toritsuka- no, definitely not, who knows what he’d been doing with his shirt.

Maybe Satou? They were similar sizes, and he wouldn’t be sweating at this point. It’s not like he has an extreme amount of muscle to show off either, just an average amount.

Well, it works for Saiki. He apported the shirts, and was immediately met with a better fitting top. It was baggy enough, but not too baggy. Just normal. Thank god for Satou’s averageness. Saiki pulled on his shorts, which were a tiny bit too short but, hey, you can’t have it all, and stepped out into the yard, where everyone was running laps. Saiki made it so that Mr Matzusaki ignored him and joined Kaidō and Nendou on the laps.

“Oh, hey buddy! When did you get here?” Nendou put one of his hands onto Saiki’s head, and Saiki moved away from the unwanted touch. ‘Just now.’ Kaidō nodded.

“You took awhile, I thought that the Dark Reunion got to you before I could!” Ugh, 8th grade syndrome.

“Yeah, yeah, whatever runt!” Nendou and Kaidō bickered between each other, while Saiki tuned into the thoughts of everyone around him.

Stupid Matzu-sucky… Oh, that’s definitely Takahashi.

Almost at lap 55! I wonder what lap Nendou’s at.. Hairo, obviously.

When did my shirt get this tight? Probably Satou, if he had to guess.

Offu! It’s Teruhashi doing dodgeball on the other side of the bushes! Too vague.

Ugh, the girls look so hot in their uniforms.. Toritsuka, stop being a perv.

Today is the day! I will make Saiki say ‘offu~’! Good grief, Teruhashi, why are you thinking that during a game of dodgeball?

I wonder why Saiki took so long? Did Dark Reunion try to brainwash him?! Does he even have to say it?

To be honest, it was quite easy to know whose thoughts were whose, atleast for Saiki, who had been hearing them since he was born. He looked over to where Toritsuka was, and ohh the other voice was the Kokomin leader, makes sense. Saiki picked up a rock with his telekinesis and hit Toritsuka with it on the back of the head.

“OW!”

Mr Matzusaki looked to Toritsuka, and immediately reprimanded him for perving on girls, and he did that for the rest of the 10 minutes left in the lesson (was he really in the changing rooms for that long?).

Everyone began to walk back inside, some choosing to just stay in their PE uniform since it was the last lesson anyways, which was most. They all waited by the door, and Saiki sat next to his bag, waiting for everyone to leave again so he could get changed. Saiki tapped impatiently while Kaidō rambled on about.. something? Saiki didn’t know, he was only half-listening. Saiki just stared forward, looking at the poster on the wall across from him. It was of some weights, with some weird motivational quote about ‘just doing it’. 

The bell rang through the changing rooms, and everyone left, leaving Saiki alone. Again. Thank god he made sure no-one forgot to pick anything up this time. He pulled off his (Satou’s?) shirt and changed back into his uniform as quick as he could, before using his clairvoyance to locate everybody. Nendou and Kaidō were waiting on the third floor for Kuboyasu, who was in the toilet (why the third floor?), Teruhashi and Yumehara were both on the second floor with Mera, who was being reprimanded by one of the cooking staff for some reason, Hairo was helping clean up the yard after PE, Airua was still getting ready in the girl’s changing room, and Toritsuka was in detention for an incident unrelated to him being a perv in PE. Huh. It was suspiciously easy for him to get home today.

Oh, well, he should hurry before it changes. He practically bolted out of the changing rooms and to his shoe locker, getting changed in a time that was definitely a world record, and walking out of the school gates. Saiki turned left, his usual path, and perfect, he was coming up on an alley now, so he could just step in and teleport away straight to his home. Then again, his mom said Kuusuke was coming over, and he didn’t want to deal with him straight away, and even if he teleported straight to his room, Kuusuke was probably already in there installing a bomb in his bed or something.

“Hey!” Crap, what now? Saiki turned around and saw- oh, Satou? That was new. Satou doesn't usually walk this way, he turns right after school, why was he going this way today? Satou stopped infront of him, taking a few deep breaths before beginning to speak.

“Do you live down here?” Saiki nodded. His house was about 15-20 minutes away if he had to make a guess.

“Cool! I was, uh, wondering if we could walk together? I’m meant to be going to my aunts to take care of my little cousin.” Ah. He was going to a relatives. What a normal thing to do. Well, if he walked with Satou, he would get to be away from Kuusuke for a bit longer, and it was Satou..

Huh. He’s had alot of interactions with Satou today. Odd, but Saiki didn’t mind.

Saiki nodded again, turning around and continuing to walk, Satou following close behind. They walked in silence for the first few minutes, until he began to ramble about his day today, which Saiki listened to intently. Because he was nice. Not because he wanted to know everything about Satou or something. He continued to talk about a range of ordinary topics, such as pets (Satou has a pet dog called Luna, and his little brother has a hamster!), hobbies (he enjoys reading, listening to music, and cooking with his mom, how average!), and his favourite show, The Big Bang Theory, one of the most popular shows on air currently. Of course it was his favourite. Something was still bugging Satou, however; Saiki could tell by how he was fidgeting.

Oh god, how am I supposed to tell Saiki I walked in on him changing? Sounds like a BL manga. He’d probably get mad at me, or think I'm a perv!  He wouldn’t. If anything, Saiki doesn’t care. At all. I feel so bad about it.. You shouldn’t.

Satou looked around to find some reason to stop having those thoughts, before stopping walking, Saiki looking back at him.

“Oh, hey, this is my aunt’s house!” Satou pointed at- wait, that’s weird.. That’s where Yuuta lives.

Wait. Wait. 

‘Is your cousin Yuuta?’ Satou seemed surprised that Saiki was talking, as he hadn’t said anything when they were walking but responded nonetheless.

“Yeah, do you know him?” 

Saiki pointed at his own house, next to Yuuta’s. ‘That’s my house.’ Satou made an ‘o’ shape with his mouth, before smiling a regular smile.

“You guys are next door neighbours, cool!” Eh, not really. Yuuta could get a bit annoying sometimes, but Saiki wasn’t going to say that to Satou’s face, it’d be rude. He just hummed instead, looking at where the Iridatsu front door was opening.

“Ah, Hiroshi, there you are! Yuuta’s just in the living room watching that show again, and there’s some miso soup in the fridge you both can have! Oh, hello Saiki, I didn’t realise you two walked down together!” Miss Iridatsu gave him a warm smile, and Saiki nodded once in response.

“Yeah, I didn’t realise he was your next door neighbour, Obachan!” Satou smiled and turned to Saiki, “I’ll see you at school, Saiki!” Saiki nodded, and turned to walk to his house.

“CYBORG CIDERMAN NO. 2!!” Oh, good grief. He turned back around and looked down to Yuuta, who was holding something behind his back. Satou seemed confused at the nickname, but didn’t question it. “LOOK WHAT I GOT!!” Yuuta held up two action figures, one of Cyborg Ciderman No. 2 and one of Peach Tea Girl. Saiki gave him a thumbs up, begging for some sort of intervention from a holy spirit or something.

“Yuuta, Saiki has to go home now, and you have to go inside with Hiroshi.” Is Ms. Iridatsu a god?  

Yuuta groaned, but reluctantly went inside with Satou, who gave Saiki a quick wave. Saiki said goodbye to Miss Iridatsu, who was apparently going on a date, good for her, and went into his own house, dreading what he knew was coming.

“Hey little bro!” Saiki groaned and took off his shoes, trying to make a bee-line for his bedroom, but was stopped by Kuusuke, his biggest nuisance, worse than Nendou and Teruhashi. He was wearing his telepathy blocker, so it wasn’t like Saiki could talk to him. Saiki didn’t use his vocal cords to talk, so even if he tried, it’d just sound like a dying horse. To be fair, he didn’t want to talk to Kuusuke anyways.

“Oh, Ku! Welcome back! Guess who came to visit?”

‘Kuusuke?’ 

“It’s Big Kuu!” Yeah, he could tell. Ugh, he really didn’t want to talk or interact with him right now. He would much rather face plant onto his bed and sleep forever, maybe put his ring on and watch a movie. Yeah, that sounded nice. Saiki waved to Kuusuke, with as much enthusiasm as he could muster (he grimaced a tiny bit less, which made his mom happy atleast.) and went upstairs.

“Saiki, wait!” Goddamnit, Kuusuke! He just wanted to be alone , why could no-one acknowledge that? He turned around and looked down at Kuusuke, who had a wide grin on his face.

“I bought you a present.”

‘Is it a bomb?’

“I know what you’re thinking, and no, it’s not a bomb-” Hey, don’t do that, he was the psychic! “But, you are gonna love it!” Kuusuke handed him a small pink box, with a green ribbon tied into a bow. Well, atleast it was on theme.

“I want you to open it alone.” Well, now Saiki was sure it was a bomb. He narrowed his eyes, but continued to walk upstairs, into his room, and put the box onto the floor infront of him. Cautiously, he tapped it with his foot…

…nothing. That was a good sign. He reached over to the lid of the box and tapped it once. Then twice. Then a few more times. And nothing happened.

Maybe it wasn’t a bomb for once. Shocking. Saiki picked up the box (still carefully, in case it was a bomb. Kuusuke loved bombs.) and undid the ribbon, pulling off the lid of the box and-

Oh. It was just a new pair of glasses. They looked practically the same as his current ones, but had a thicker lens.

“Do you like them?” Kuusuke stood in his doorway, hands behind his back and smiling. “They should block out your x-ray vision. Isn’t that cool, Ku?” Don’t call him that. Only mom can call him that. Saiki looked at him sceptically, but put them on, considering just turning Kuusuke to stone so he didn’t have to deal with him.

Well, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. He turned to Kuusuke and- oh jesus, is that what he looked like?

“Don’t look at me like that, little bro! Do they work?” Saiki nodded, still trying to figure out how he could be related to that thing.

“Ku, Big Kuu, are you guys getting along?” His mother was now at the door with Kuusuke, and he could see how he looked like his mother. They had a few similar features, enough to recognise that they were related.

‘He gave me new glasses that block out my x-ray vision.’ His mother seemed ecstatic, clapping her hands and thanking Kuusuke for his new invention, before taking him downstairs, finally. Saiki took off his new glasses (he was still keeping his old ones, just incase.) and faceplanted into his bed, pulling on his germanium ring and falling asleep at around 3am, quicker than usual!

–

Saiki was sat on the floor of his bedroom with Satou, playing some game that he couldn’t remember the name of. They were huddled under a soft blanket, with drinks and chocolate laid out infront of them. Satou was talking animatedly about his new recent hobby while trying to make combos to the best of his ability, and Saiki was watching him happily.

He was nice.

This was nice.

He could stay like this forever.

“KU! YOUR FRIENDS ARE HERE TO WALK WITH YOU!”

Good grief.
