“Wait, Where are we going again?” Niko asked, following Aiku down the crowded school halls.
“Don’t worry about it! My mate just wants you to meet some transfer student friend, he wants to show him to you, you are similar ages too. Best you get more friends around your grade” Aiku explained, looking around and quietly reading out each classroom number.
“You sound like an old man saying that” Niko muttered.
The otaku dragged himself as the senior turned a corner. As he followed, he realised the halls started to quiet down as people settled down in the classrooms and cafeteria.
Niko watched as Aiku entered a classroom.
“Hey, Shidou!” Aiku called out, walking towards the pink highlighted person.
Of course the ‘mate’ was Shidou. Niko was glad they were trying to give Niko friends, because he does not want to have this middle aged looking womanizer being the only guy he can talk to.
“You wanted Niko right?” Aiku asked as Niko came over, placing his arm over his head.
Niko quickly shoved his arm off muttering a ‘Don’t do that.’ within earshot of Aiku. He probably used that hand to grab Sendou while they make out before their classes started, making him even think about that makes him want to jump off the nearest cliff after he saw them in action one day.
“Yeaaa. CHARLES!! GET OVER HERE!!!” Shidou yelled. Niko doesn’t remember him covering his own ears but he ended up with that anyways.
Charles popped out from the corner of the room, probably already talking to a group before getting interrupted by Shidou’s yelling. He rushed over to Shidou.
“Yea?” The blonde boy asked, surprising Niko by the french accent that came out of his mouth.
“Here, Niko-boy!” Shidou moved Charles to Niko’s direction.
“Do not ever call me that again..” Niko stared at Shidou immensely but gave up knowing the delinquent would tease him more over not seeing his eyes with his overgrown, messy, black bangs. Niko sighed taking the french boy’s hand thoughtlessly into a lazy handshake and looking over back to him,
“Umm, Are you.. uh okay?” Niko looked upon Charles who was standing stiff with a blushing mess over his face. The otaku glanced back at the two seniors, confused at the smirks on their faces.
“What are you two doing here? This isn’t your classroom I assume.” A person intruded the occurrence happening before their eyes.
It was Rin Itoshi.
“Oh RinRin! Tell that hot brother of yours that I’m gonna crash over at his~” Shidou exclaimed.
“Absolutely. Not.” Rin glared into Shidou’s eyes like he was going to scrawl at him even more.
“Well.. we uhh-“ Aiku attempted to explain,
“Oh, you're that kid from the classroom near here,” Rin pointed at Niko.
“How do you know?” He asked
Rin sighed “Our transfer peer has been..”
“Pining for you since he’s got here? Ding ding ding!” Shidou butted in
What? Niko can feel the heat coming to his cheeks. Looking at Charles, swaying absentmindedly and smiling. Niko tapped Charles‘ shoulder with his other hand when Rin started to leave, clearly pissed off by Shidou’s last message of ‘Better cover your ears tonight~’
Charles shook himself back to reality. “O-oh! Nice to meet you. I'm Charles Chevalier and I’m very very very excited to see your cute face up close” He blurted out, clearly stressed.
“Did you have some sort of script in your head or something?” Niko chuckled to himself.
“Alright. I’m gonna go find Sendou so go become best buddies with Charles (or even more than that)” Aiku waved off, leaving Niko with the new kid and Shidou.
“Y-you wanna hang out?” Charles asked, trying to ignore what he just did the last few minutes ago.
“Oh, ok.” Niko smiled at Charles, maybe Aiku was right. Making friends is nicer than it seemed, well can’t be talking from a guy like him.
Extra:
“C’monnn. One night with your brother” Shidou complained.
“Sure! And it’ll escalate it to being EVERY night!” Rin swore he could feel a vein popping out of his skull.
“Well you did say sure. Thanks Rinrin!”
Rin pulled out his phone as he watched Shidou run outside the school doors, scrolling down his list of numbers finally pressing one “Hey you think I can, like sleep over at yours tonight? I do not want a cacophony when I sleep tonight.”
