“That really took a while..” Nagihiko muttered softly, as he quickly ran down the sidewalk and panted lightly. School ended a few hours ago, but he stayed behind to help with paperwork that was piling up. Unfortunately, it took much longer than it was suppose to and was running late to get home.
Luckily, Nagihiko sent a message to his mother that he’ll be late. Otherwise, he’ll get a scolding of a life time if he comes home without a reason. Lost in his own train of thoughts, Nagihiko was completely unaware of his surroundings—in which, led him to bump into someone.
“Oof!” Nagihiko flinched at the impact and took a step backwards. He quickly steady himself and looked up at the person with an apologetic expression on his face.
“S-Sorry. I wasn’t paying atten—“ Nagihiko apologized before stopping mid-way and widened his eyes with his mouth partly opened. “T-Tsukiyomi?” Nagihiko questioned surprisingly, as he looked up at the blue-haired male.
Annoyance filled dark blue eyes, slim hands lifting to run through equally dark navy locks. Honestly… As long as his grades were good, why the hell does his attendance matter? Obviously skipping out on classes wasn’t hindering him.
But nope. Apparently it did. According to the school Chairman, he was required to either stay after school or repeat the grade. And seeing as how he really did not want to stay another year in this stupid school, Ikuto was forced to stay after until he made up the days he missed. Luckily he only had to stay after for a week… Though if he stayed longer than a week that would allow him a few more days to miss.
Annoying or not, they were being pretty lenient with him because of his connections and his grades.
With his mind thinking about the aggravating week ahead of him and Yoru wondering around, Ikuto didn’t notice the fast approaching young man until they collided. Slight surprise made his eyes widen a tad and he had to take a step back to regain his balance, a small sound leaving his lips before he turned his attention to the one he ran into.
Their apology was cut off and instead his name was stuttered, making him smile without fully realizing it. “You’re one of Amu’s friends…” He was sure the young bubble gum haired female had mentioned this person before, but his name escaped him. “Aren’t you out a little late, kid?” Really, didn’t these kids know that they attracted trouble? Raking his fingers through his hair again, the young man started walking, glancing back at the younger.
“Comin’?”
“It’s Nagihiko.” Nagihiko corrected warily, as he slightly twitched at the nickname. He might be young, but that doesn’t mean he likes to be refer as a child. Nagihiko inwardly sighs. Well, at least it was better than being called a girl.
“I needed to take care of something at school.” Nagihiko stated casually, as he gave a slight shrug. Technically; it was needed, but rather he did it willingly. Nagihiko widened his eyes in surprise before nodding his head slowly.
Nagihiko immediately followed after the blue haired male, as his eyes flickered towards Ikuto’s back. Nagihiko knew that he should be wary of Ikuto considering he’s working for Easter—but he was curious on why Ikuto was out late too.
“...Was there a reason why you’re out late, as well?” Nagihiko asked, as his tone was laced with curiosity.
