_Your POV_

The sun shined brightly upon the ground, it’s rays of light hitting my exposed [S/C] skin granting me warmth. Car passed by as many head to work or some going about their daily lives. Stores began opening their doors getting ready for the day. A soft tune left my lips as I happily skipped on the sidewalk. Since I’ve been cooped up in the house almost all week doing school work Mom decided it was a good idea for me to take a break and get fresh air.

“Makin' my way down town, walkin' fast, faces pass and I'm homebound.” I sang, many by-passengers gave me weird looks, but that didn’t faze me.

Looking at the many display window I was too distracted and bumped into something.

“Oh, sorry miss, are you okay?”

Or would I rather say, someone.

“I’m fine, and besides it was my fault. I wasn’t looking where I was going.” I said.

Looking up my [E/C] eyes clashed with a sharp pair of violet ones.

“Oh! It’s you!”

A confused looked came upon the boy’s face before it turned into one of recognition.

“You’re that girl who shoved an umbrella into my hands.” He replied. I sweat dropped remembering the moment. Rubbing the back of my neck, I let out an awkward laugh. “Anyways, I would like to thank you for your hospitality that day.”

I smiled at the boy. “It was nothing really, you need it more then me.” I said, I extended my arm towards the unknown male. “I’m [L/N] [Y/N], but you can call me by my first name.”

The boy grabbed my hand and we shook in greeting.

“My name is Asano Gakushuu.”

Looking into his eyes, all I could see were dull violet orbs. They were bright, sure, but they held not excitment or anything related to happiness. To someone who doesn't have a sharp eye on spotting small movements or hidden emotions, this goes unnoticed, But to people like me, this don't fly under our radar.

“Say,” I began, not sure if I should do this since we’ve only really interacted with each other twice. “would you like to hang out? I-If you’re not busy that is.”

Asano thought about it for a moment before nodding.

Smiling gleefully, I grabbed his hand without warning and began dragging the confused teen around the streets of Japan. I wanted to help this boy, I wanted him to experience the feeling of being alive. Mom saids that I'm too kind-hearted for my own good, but I like to say that standing by when someone is in need of help is just unmanly, as Kirishima saids. That probably didn't help my case, didn't it?

Anyways, we walked around the city. It was kinda awkward because none of us spoke, well, I mean, I tried(i) to make small talk but only replies I got were soft hums and silent nods. The bored expression never left his face. This only got me more fired up.

Don't worry Asano, I'll make this a day that you will never forget.

I promise.

Looking around, something caught my [E/C] eyes. I think Asano could tell how excited I was due to him getting me a weird look as my body shook in joy. Letting go of his hand, I made a bee line to the store.

I honestly tired my best to not my pressed my whole face on the window, but, by God was it tempting.

"What is that?" Asano asked eyeing the building.

"It's a cosplay store!" I yelled excitedly, jumping on the balls of my feet. The boy didn't say anything and just raised an eyebrow. "In simple terms, Cosplaying is when you dress up as a character that you like. They would be from a show, book, movie, game, so on and so forth."

He scoffed. "That's weird."

A gasp left my lips. "How dare you say such a thing!"

Asano raised a brow. "Your a weird one, ain't you?"

"I'm not weird, you just don't have any taste."

The boy didn't replay moving his gaze from me to the displays the store had out. I couldn't help but notice his violet eye lingering on a particular cosplay.

Feeling my staring he turning to face me once again, even though his expression was stoic, his orbs held a small bit of irritaion.

"I don't like that look on your face."

I grinned wider.

And once again, I grabbed his hand dragging him into the store. Going up to the counter I pulled out a couple hundred yens and place them infront of the cashier (who was a bit startled by the sudden action).

"I want the costume, wig, make-up, the whole shebang for me and my friend here, please."

"I'm not her friend." Asano told the cashier.

"Oh, don't mind him, he's always this grumpy."

Nodding, the counter lady spoke. "What cosplays would you like?"

After telling her the characters she began gathering the items while I pushed Asano into a changing room. Said boy glared daggers at me, I only softly giggled.

"Be a good sport and do as the nice lady saids, alright?"

"Listen here, I don't know who gave you the right to just drag me around and do what ever you please, but I will not stand for this."

Ignoring his protest I gave him a cheeky smile. "Don't be such a dump. It'll be fun, I promise!"

Spotting the lady with the supplies I ran up to her and snatched then from her hands (no before saying a quick 'Thank you', of course), running back to Asano I shove the clothing and extra accessories for his cosplay while I held onto mine.

"Now put those on and when your done wait for me outside." Not giving him time to respond I shut the door.

Making my way towards another changing room I looked down at my cosplay, I couldn't help but grin happily.

'Yes, this will be very fun.'

💙

'Oh my gosh! I look so amazing!'

I shed a single tear, 'cause of how happy I was. I tried my best not to cry as to not ruin the make-up, but damn it is was so hard! Stepping out of the changing room a new found wave of courage ran through my veins.

The character I was cosplaying as was [Anime Character] from [Anime Show].

"This is ridiculous and how did you even get my size, should I be concern?"

Turning to the sound of the voice the waterworks almost burst.

"You look so, so great."

"I beg your pardon."

"So realistic."

"Who am I suppose to be exactly?" The strawberry blond asked, an annoyed tone in his voice.

"Your Rei Ogami from the anime Code: Breaker. Honestly, he's such a great character." I sighed happily. "You actually remind me a lot of him."

An irk mark appeared on Asano's head. "What ever fantasies you have going on in that head of yours, stop it, now."

A blush spread across my face. "D-Don't g-get the wrong i-idea! I-it's nothing l-like that, I swear!" I exclaimed as I waved my hands around frantically.

He sighed as he rubbed his temples. "Seeing as we're done here, I would like to change into my regular clothes."

"No, wait!" I got inbetween him and the changing room.

"What now?"

"You can't change."

"And why not." He said as he crossed his arm over his chest.

"Because I spent a good amount of money on these cosplays, and just for you to wear it for like two minutes, nuh-uh."

"I'm changing."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes!"

"No." Violet orbs glared down at my figure. "And you're not going to change my mind."

💙

Seating on a subway seat I happily swung my legs back and forth. Asano sat beside me, a scowl on his face.

I don't see what he would be mad about. We both have our cosplays on, he should be happy.

"Stop being such a grumpy cat Asano, you'll get wrinkles."

"Do you every shut up?"

I let out a soft angry huff. "Now, that was rude."

"Well, your being annoying." The teen shot back.

I puffed out my cheeks. "If you keep up with that attitude you'll definitely won't get a girlfriend anytime soon."

"I'm interested in having a girlfriend."

"Oh! So your into guys!"

He choked on his saliva.

"What?! No!"

Closing my eyes I put my hand in a thinking position.

"Yeah, your right. They wouldn't be into you either."

Asano scoffed. "For your information, every girl in Kunugigaoka would immediately jump at the opportunity to date me."

"I'm pretty sure not everyone."

"Oh, really? Then tell me who."

"I know I wouldn't."

"And why is that?"

"Because your mean." I said as I playfully stuck out my tongue.

"You know," The male began. "I haven't seen you around the campus before, what class are you in?"

Once those words left his lips I instantly froze. I let out an awkward laugh as I felt sweat ran down my face.

"W-What makes you think I go to Kunugigaoka?"

'Damn my stuttering!'

"Because the day we first meet, you were wearing a Kunugigaoka uniform." He said.

As I was nervously thinking about a response my attention soon fell upon a shining object dangling around his neck.

"What's that?" I asked.

His violet eyes slightly widen, not expecting my question. Subconscious he grabbed the necklace before taking it off and opening it.

I scooted closer to Asano to get a better look.

Inside the locket was a picture of a very beautiful woman.

She had long wavy blond hair. Her eyes were like a pair of green jewels, shining gorgeously under the light.

"Wow." Was that only thing I could say.

"She was my mother." Asano spoke, a small smile sad formed on his lips. "She died three years ago due to an untradable illness."

"I'm sorry."

"She was a kind women, always wearing a smile no matter what." He closed the locket and placed it around his neck again. "I remembered when she used to sing to me when I was a little kid."

Slow soft strumming of a guitar echoed throughout the subway, I began tapped my foot to the rhythm of the music as I stood up from my seat.

"Please don't break out into song." Asano said.

"Too late."

🎶Baby, can't you see🎶

🎶Losing my head🎶

🎶It's spinning 'round and 'round🎶

"Come, sing with me." I said to the boy, he shook his head.

"Your embarrassing yourself." He hissed.

"Come on, let loose a little."

"I'm not singing."

I crossed my arms over my chest. "Your a scardey cat. I bet you don't even know how, that's why you don't want too."

Something seemed to changed in him because with a determined face he stood up from his seat and took a deep breath.

🎶It's getting late🎶

🎶To give you up🎶

🎶I took a sip🎶

🎶From🎶

🎶My devil's cup🎶

🎶Slowly🎶

🎶It's taking over me🎶

🎶Too high🎶

Asano smirked at my shocked expression, I shooked my head softly with a smile on my face.

🎶Taste of your lips🎶

🎶You're toxic🎶

🎶I'm slipping under🎶

🎶With a🎶

🎶I think I'm ready now🎶

The people in the train exploded in cheers.

"That was great you two!" The guy who played the guitar said as he approached us. "Never have I seen a couple with your kind of chemistry, and not to mention talent."

"C-Couple!" I squeaked out, my cheeks become redder than To-To's hair.

"I'm sorry, but your mistaken. We're not a couple." Asano explained with straight face, though, the pink tint on his face didn't go unnoticed.

"O-Oh! Sorry for the misunderstanding." The man laughed nervously. "But I meant what I said, you two have a really lovely voice."

"Thank you." I said as I bowed. Asano soon followed suit, also giving his thanks.

The train came to a stop, letting us know that we had made it to our destination. Getting off, we headed back to the streets to continue our sightseeing.

"We're gitting weird looks." Asano whispered-yelled.

Holding up two of my fingers I spoke. "Two words. So what."

"Huh?"

"So what." I repeated. "So what if their staring? So what if they judge? So what if they think we're crazy? If what we're doing is not harming anyone . . . then I don't see what's the problem."

The teen boy stopped walking and just stared at me, there was something in his eyes that I couldn't quite make out.

"That . . . " The boy began. "That was probably one of the wised things you ever said without sounding like a complete and total idiot."

I playfully punched him in the shoulder.

"Rude."

Asano rubbed the spot where he was hit to try and lessen the pain.

"So, what now?" I asked, moving a piece of the [H/C] hair from the wig as it was disturbing my vision.

"How about we go home."

"No, Asano."

"Well, then I got nothing."

Shouts and rapid foot steps were heard coming from a distance.

"Get out of the way!"

Before I could comprehend what was happening I was harshly shoved causing me loose my balanced. I was caught off guard by this sudden action, but what really surprised me was the strong chest I softly collided with and the gentle hands that snaked around my waist.

A blush covered my face as I slowly meet the eyes of the person who saved me from my unsuspecting fall.

"Tch, people this days don't know how to say 'Excuse me'." The strawberry blonde hair boy said helping me to stand on my feet.

An old lady then come running towards us frantically.

"P-Please! Someone stop that thief! He stole my purse!"

The guy how stoled her purse hopped into a car and droved off.

I quickly walked up to the lady and grabbed her hands, giving her a reassuring smile. "Dont worry ma'am, the man won't go unpunished."

"And how are you going to go about that?" Asano asked behind me, his arms crossed over his chest.

I grinned widely. "By chasing after him, of course."

"What?"

Before he could protest I took him by the hand and ran after the moving car. Spotting an opened vehicle I pushed him in there and I hopped in the driving seat, luckily the keys were there so I started the car.

"Do you even know how to drive?" The male questioned as he took off his wig.

"Yeah! I always won in Mairo Kart."

"That does not(I) count!"

Putting the car in dirve we chased after the man.

Many red lights were passed.

There were also a lot of near-misses.

But no matter how hard the guy tried to loose us, we just wouldn't budge.

Soon loud piercing sirens blared behind us.

"[Y/N]! The cops are right on our tails!" Asano yelled as he looked backed, his once tamed strawberry hair was now sticking in all different places due to the strong wind hitting him. My hair was just the same, or probably worse. I don't know, can't really look to check at the moment.

I stepped on the gas petal causing the vechicle to go faster.

"The coner!"

"I know! Hold on tight!" I made a sharp left almost hitting a by-passer, but luckly they moved out of the way in time.

"You nearly hit them!" The teen boy screamed at me.

I rolled my eyes. "Well, I'm sorry but I'm trying to not lose the car infront of us and shake off the police, and you yelling at me isn't making this situcation better!!!"

Suddenly the car in fornt of us lost controled and charshed into a pole, the guy that we were chasing got out of the car and made a run for it. I immediately slammed on the breaks, whiched caused Asano to hit his head.

"Ow! Maybe a little warning next time!?"

With a quick sorry to the boy I hopped out of the vehicle and ran towards after the man, cashing up to him I tackled the guy to the ground. Grabbing both his arms I pinned him behind his back.

"Get off me you bitch!" The man yelled at me as he struggled.

I smirked. "Don't be salty that you got caught by a [Age]-year-old girl."

"I ain't salty!"

Footsteps could be heard from behind me, though I didn't need to turn around to know who it was.

"You got him?" Asano asked.

"Yep!" I chirpped popped the 'P'.

It didn't take long for the police to arrive soon after. Getting off of the man the officers tided him up and threw him in the back of their car.

"We caught the bad guy officer, there's no need to thank us." Hand-cuffs were then placed on my wrist, this got me completly off guard.

"Wait, you can't-" I spoke but was cut off by the man.

"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can, and will be used against you." The officer stated as he dragged me to the police car. I saw Asano also being dragged away into another car with a pair of hand-cuffs of his own.

Before they could take the teen away I called out to him.

"Asano!" Violet eyes clashed with my [E/C] ones. Garthering all my courge, I told him the one thing that I was hesitant to tell him.

"I'm from class 3-E!"

_Asano's POV_

Wait-

What did she say?

I must have heard her wrong.

She probably didn't just say that she was from-

"I'm from class 3-E!"

Yeah, no. I heard her right.

I tried to stay calm.

I really tried.

But after being dragged all through the city.

Forced to play dressed up.

And having the police chase after us.

I was done.

I was absolutely fucking done.

My left eye twitched as I felt my blood boil.

"You." I growled. The girl flinched at my harsh tone.

"I would call you crazy, but your far beyond that. The moment I saw you I knew you were troubled, but I gave you the benefit of the doubt, and look where that got me."

"I'm sorry." She spoke. The way her [E/C] eyes shone with sincerity told me that she was truly sorry.

But I could have cared less.

"I don't want your apology, all I wanted was a normal day, but instead I'm being dragged into the back of a police car!"

"Everyone said that class 3-E were troublesome students but you, " A small chuckle lifted pass my lips. "your worst than that!"

"Your insane! A lunatic! I don't even know why I followed you?!"

Before I could say anything else the cop that handcuffed pulled me towards the car.

"Quit making a scene, kid. Everything that you say can and will be held against you, now, get in the car."

Knowing that I would get even more in trouble if I talked back I let the man put me in the car. Once he closed the door I leaned my head against the car seat.

'I knew I should have stayed at home.'

💙

I stared in irritation as I watched [L/N] nervously shifted under my gaze.

To my luck, I was put in the same cell as her.

Rubbing the bridge of my nose, I let out a tiring sigh.

"Why . . . out of everyone in this horrendous place, I got stuck in the same prison cell as you."

"A-Actually, we're in a h-holding cell." [L/N] timidly spoke.

"Did I ask?"

"N-No, but- "

"So, don't speak."

The girl pouted as she slightly stuck out her bottom plump lip.

"Your being mean."

"I get to be mean when you are the cause of my ever growing migraine." I said with a grunt. "You know, never in my life have I ever meet someone as illogical and reckless as you."

"I don't know if I should take that as a compliment or an insult."

I rolled my eyes. "Well, it sure isn't a compliment."

Neither of us spoke as a thick silence fell between us.

It wasn't comfortable nor was it awkward.

It was just . . .

Silence.

We watched many officers come and go in the small building, either due to it being the end or beginning of their shift.

Other low life criminals were also brought in, but luckily, they didn't put them in our cell.

Many people would have been intimated by these type of people, but if you've lived with a monster for most of your life like I have, it doesn't faze you.

I would have said I was surprised to not see [L/N] at least a bit nervous to be here, but I'm not.

I'm honestly not.

I wouldn't be the slightest fazed if she turned out to be some sort of secret agent or assassin.

But I highly doubt that.

My violet eyes took notice of a young blonde woman walking towards our direction.

I recognized her as one of Class 3-E teachers.

'Huh, wonder why she's here?'

"When I tell you 'Get out of the house.' I didn't mean get yourself in jail." The women spoke as she looked directly at [L/N] (who smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of her neck).

"Sorry, mom."

"Mom?" I questioned, not exactly believing it.

The girl nodded. "Yup' !" She chirpped popped the 'P'.

"I may not look like it kid, but I'm actually 29."

"Mom look pretty young for her age, huh?"

This woman can not be that old, she looks to be in her early twenties. My eyes then landed on [L/N]'s figure.

'I wonder if she's going to look like that when she's older.'   I immediately shook my head to get rid of that thought. 'Why would I care anyway.'

The sounds of footsteps caught all of our attention.

"Gakushuu." I had to stop myself from flinching at how coldly the damn bastard said my name.

"Imagine my surprise when I got a call from the police station saying that my son had just been arrested. At first, I didn't believe them. My well behaved and obedient son wouldn't do such a thing."

His own violet orbs glaring down harshly at me.

"But, I guess I was wrong."

I refused to break eye contact with that monstrous of a man, because if I do that means I'm weak.

And I am anything but weak.

I despise that man with every fiber of my being.

He puts me down even though I'm his own flesh and blood.

Looks at me as if he's disappointed to have a son like me.

Well, he shouldn't.

Because I'm top the student in his damn school.

I get full marks in all subjects.

I'm strong and smart.

People respect and admire me.

Everyone wants to be me.

So I don't understand why he cast me aside like I'm nothing to him!

Why he treats me like his enemy when I can clearly be his allie!

Why he looks at me like I'm a worthless piece of shit!

But one day . . .

I'll prove to that damm bastard wrong.

I'll prove to him that I am worth more then he could ever imagine.

He'll regret the day that he abandoned me.

And that's a promise I attend to keep.

"I expect an apology, Gakushuu. You caused me quite the trouble today, I had to leave some important papers just to get you out of this . . . " He paused as he looked around the cell in disgusted. "place."

I had to stop a growl from erupting from my throat.

'Over my dead body I would ever say "I'm - '

"I'm surely sorry. If you want to be mad at someone please be mad at me, not Asano. He was not the one at fault, but me. I take full responsibility and will accept any punishment."

I watched as [L/N] bowed deeply to my father showing her sincere apology.

I couldn't help but question, why?

Why was she doing this?

Why was she taking the blame?

Does she have something to gain from this?

If so, what?

Maybe . . .

Maybe she doesn't have anything to gain.

Maybe she's doing this because she's truly sorry.

"Of course, " Father began. "Class 3-E are full of mischievous and troublesome teens, and it seems that you were not content with getting yourselves in trouble so you had to drag someone into it."

I head [L/N] gulped nervously but she did not move an inch.

"And unfortunately for you, it was my son who was caught in your chaos. I have half a mind to expel you child."

"But you wouldn't, or rather I say you can't." The blonde hair woman said, every word she spoke was cover with venom.

My father turned to her with a heated glare.

"Ms. Jelavic, I would advice you to watch your tonuge."

The women let out a fake laugh. "Oh~ My bad, it just slipped."

'What are they taking about?'

Before they could say anything else an officer came ending their tense conversation.

"Everything has been taken care of and all charges that has been placed are now lifted."

Father looked at Ms. Jelavic, who just responded with a shrug.

"Don't look at me, I didn't do anything."

"Actually, " The officer spoke catching the two adults attention. "it was a man by the name Karasuma Tadaoma."

Both females tensed upon hearing the name, [L/N] more than her mother.

'I wonder if that's her father?'

"Alright then, if you would." My old man said as he gestured to the cell.

Not wasting another second he unlocked the door and let us out. With a bow, he took of to finish his other tasks.

A hand was unexpectedly placed on my shoulder. Knowing exactly who it belonged to, I tried my hardest to not slap it away.

"Now that this whole fiasco has fortunately ended, I would like for your daughter to stay away from my son."

I rolled my eyes in annoyance at his statment.

Ms. Jelavic scoffed and turned her head in a childish manner.

"Like my baby girl would ever want to associate herself with your stuck up son." I watched as [L/N] winced at the wording that her mother used.

Making eye contact with me the girl mouth an I'm sorry.'

As we were about to leave my name was called out.

"Asano!"

Turning I was meet with a running [L/N], without a warning she cupped her hands into my owns. I almost didn't noticed her slipping a piece of paper by how soft and warms her hands were.

"I hope you had fun today Asano, sorry again." And with a bright smile she retreated back with her mother.

I watched her figure slowly walk away until it was only a speck in the distance.

Looking down at my hand I unclenched it revealing a paper with a phone number written on it. Turning it around it read-

"Text me, [Y/N] :)"

I stuffed it in my pocket forcefully.

'She has the nerve to give me her number after all she put me through.'

"By the way Gakushuu, what on Earth are you wearing?" Father questioned, gesturing to my clothing.

I had almost forgotten that I still had them on.

"It's called 'Cosplaying', father." I replied with a monotone voice.

"Once we get home you will take that off immediately."

"Yes, sir."

As we made are way back home my mind couldn't help but wonder back to the [H/C] hair girl.

'Students from class 3-E are weird.'

Bump Bump

'Or maybe it's just her.'

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Author's Note - Hello my little assassins~ I'm really sorry that this chapter took so long to make. Many unexpected things came not allowing me to finish this soon. I really hope you enjoyed it. Asano was a bit tricky to write, so my apologies if his seems a bit OOC. Hopefully next chapter will come out soon. With all that said, have a wonderful day/afternoon/night!
