Chapter 8: He's Not So Bad...

Saiki's POV:
As I melt the last load of snow away with my  pyrokinesis, I wiped my forehead and sighed as I revert back to my original male form.

What a pain, I think that's the last of it, but.....

I turn to look at Teruhashi who is unconscious on the floor.

I can't leave Teruhashi here, I gotta find a warm place for her to stay in.

I thought as I scratch my head knowing how painful is it to help a stuck up girl who thinks she's perfect. I know what you all thinking, you all would ask me "why would you save a snobby girl like Teruhashi?" Well let me tell you this. Teruhashi maybe an annoying snobby girl, but she's not that evil. Sure what she did to Kōri was messed up and I get the fact that she's jealous of her, but in truth, I actually pity her. Trust me, if I left Teruhashi to die, her fan club would go berserk and bawl their eyes out nonstop. It's real pain in the ass when you think about it.

Yeah, yeah, call me an idiot all you want, but that's just my opinion. Anyway getting off topic, I cross my eyes and use clairvoyance to find an empty place for Teruhashi to rest. Annnnnd bingo, I found one.

I then pick up Kori's mittens and put them in my pocket. Then I lift Teruhashi from the floor and teleport to the empty nurse's office where I put Teruhashi in bed so she could rest. Oh and let's not forget that I wipe her memories of the icy rage incident from the girls bathroom.

Now that is taken care, time to find Kōri.

I thought as I use my clairvoyance once again, but this time the whole school is covered with mist, the floor is covered with snow, the students are frozen like statues and everything is else is made out of ice. Geez, it's like I'm in an ice tower.

Damn it's so foggy out there, I can't even see what's going on...unless...

Soon an idea was brought up to my mind when I walk out of the nurse's office where I use my pyrokinesis and touch the wall where ice and snow started to melt in the hallway and every classrooms.

Nobody's POV:
As everyone stood frozen in ice, everything starts to defrost when the heat emits from the hallway where ice and snow melts and the students went back to normal leaving them baffled.

"Uhhhh what just happened?" Nendou asked confusingly.

"I don't know, but...achoo! I'm starting to feel cold because my clothes are wet for some reason!!" Kaidou shouted while shivering.

"Achoo! Aw man, I'm going to wash my clothes once I get home! Achoo! And I'm probably going to get sick tomorrow...Achoo!" Kuboyasu sneezed profusely as the boastful redhead Hairo appeared behind Kuboyasu and yell at him and Kaidou.

"Oh come on you guys! Don't give up! You can beat this cold! Don't you ever give up!!!" Hairo boldly encouraged them.

"Hahaha!! You guys are a bunch of dorks!!!" Nendou laughed loudly.

"You're not helping here Nendou!!" Kaidou scold at him.

"Ugh where's Saiki when you need him?!?" Kuboyasu shouted in annoyance.

"Oh yeah I haven't seen my buddy anywhere." Nendou agree with Kuboyasu.

"Yeah and Kori's not here too, where are they anyway?" Kaidou asked curiously.

Saiki's POV:
As back to their normal selves, I grin satisfyingly while using clairvoyance.

That's should do the trick, and one more thing.

I then use my telepathy to reach out someone I knew that annoys the hell out of me and is a total creep.

You're sister's in the nurse's office, please pick her up immediately.

I mentally informed him as I can hear him gasp and panicked.

What?! My sister is in the nurse's office?! Aaahhhh!!!! Don't worry my sweet Teruhashi! Your big brother is going to save you!!!!

He mentally shouted as he bolt through the room and ran out of the house to take his little sister home. I then form a smirk with no regrets.

Now it's done, and now to find Kōri.

I thought as I use my clairvoyance ability one last time now that annoying mist is gone. I check every single classroom and room all over the school until I widen my eyes to see Kōri sitting on the edge of the school rooftop with ice starting to spread throughout the roof which got me pretty worried.

Crap, I gotta stop her before it's too late!

I thought as I quickly teleport to the rooftop where I saw Kōri cowering in shame while ice starts to extend from the roof. To be honest, I felt really bad for her. She doesn't deserve to be treated like this....

There's only one way to reach out to her and that is the impossible. I gently grip my fists and I quietly inhale my breathe and said her name.

"..Kōri."

"Huh?" She heard my voice and slowly turn her head with a surprise look where I can see the tears in her pale red eyes.

"S-Saiki?...." She blinked her eyes where she looked pretty innocent yet hurt and vulnerable....

For the first time, I felt my heartstrings being pulled to see how afraid and hurt she is. I soon start approaching her, but Kōri knew what's happening and quickly starts backing away.

"Wha-What are you doing?! S-Stay back!...I'm warning you! Don't come any closer!!!" She pleaded while trembling in fear.

It's fine, I'm not going to hurt you.

I mentally reassured her, but she shakes her head and tries to push me away.

No! That's not what I meant!

She mentally retorts as she kept on cowering in fear.

"Please...stop....I'm begging you....." She meekly begged him while crying and turns her head away, but I stop walking and kneel down to her where I gently grab her hand as I can feel her cold, icy touch from my palm.

Hmm..so that's why you been wearing those mittens on...

Huh?

She turn her head to me with an astound look.

Kōri's POV:
I can't believe my eyes...this has to be dream isn't it? I never seen a person who could be that approachable towards a hideous monster like me...

"..You...didn't froze? H-"

"I'm a psychic remember? I have many powers including pyrokinesis, which means I'm immune to the cold." He told her as he shows a tiny flame from his finger which I have to be honest, it looked pretty cool, but...why would he help me?....

I avert my eyes in guilt and hang my head low.

"..Why?....." I asked curiously, but with a skeptical yet miserable tone where Saiki looks up to me as tears start to fall from my cheeks.

"Why me?...Why are you helping me?...Why would care for a hideous disgusting monster like me?!?" I cried as bawl my eyes out and cover my face with my hands where I can't take the pain that I suppress any longer. However I feel Saiki's arms wrap around my waist as he pulls me closer to him.

"To be honest...I actually like you Kōri." He honestly told me where I widen my eyes in disbelief.

He...likes me?......

I thought in shock while being embrace by the pink haired psychic. He then let go of me as he starts stroking my head gently.

"...I never felt like this before to be honest..I'm not really a social type of person. I've been keeping my distance from other people because of my powers." He told me as I start to raise my head and look at him where I slowly start listening to him. Saiki then looks down for a minute before he continues talking about his life and backstory. He looks to me again.

"Ever since I was born, I been hiding my psychic powers from other people, so I won't gain attention. It really sucks to have powers like this, not to mention a pain in the ass, but...in the end it's just how my life is and I have to get use to my powers and those crazy weird idiots." He bluntly, but earnest explained which I giggled in response. However, I can't really blame him, he looked pretty introverted and a bit antisocial when I first saw him yesterday.

He then grinned at my reaction.

"Yeah..I know, annoying isn't it? But, I don't really hate them. Some of them are pretty good people despite being a delinquent, a moron, a person with fifth grade syndrome, a pervert, a stuck-up pretty girl, and an arrogant rich jerk. At first, I don't really care of what's happening or anyone and that's when I met you, Kōri. I never have crushes on girls before, but this is quite different...." He said averting his eyes with a light blush while patting my head as I find myself listening to his words.

"I know the phrase "love at first sight" isn't the best thing for me to say, but...I'm just going to say this. I care for you, Kōri and I know we barely know each other, but it's the truth. When I first read your mind yesterday in class, I was...intrigued yet I'm worried about you because..I don't want you to get yourself hurt...." He explain as I felt my heart slowly beating for this stoic but caring guy.

"Saiki....." Saiki then gently takes my hand and gazes me deeply into my soft pale red eyes.

"Kōri listen to me, you're not a monster...you're not hideous...you're not disgusting...you are a kind, worthy, valuable, and lovable girl who doesn't deserves to suffer from the pain that she's experiencing. What Teruhashi did was wrong, but no matter what happens..." Saiki then pulls me into a loving embrace.

"..I'll always be here to protect you and keep you safe. I may not be the type of person that helps others, but...I'll keep you safe and I will always by be your side because you're valuable to me...." He reassured me I start to tear up where I can feel the broken pieces of my heart start putting itself back together like a puzzle. I soon hug him back as I start breaking down in tears.

"I..I've been isolating myself from others because...I don't want to get hurt again...." I cried as I wipe my tears from my eyes with my hands while crying.

"I hate it...I hate being treated like this...I miss my mom...my dad...*sniffs* they were the only ones who would showered me with love and now they're gone! The only person I can rely on is my grandma!" I cried as I weep underneath his shoulders due to the pain that I held since my hellish childhood. Saiki gently breaks off the hug and wipes the tears from my eyes.

"Then you don't have to feel this way because I'm always going to be with you." He assured me with a warm loving smile which I smiled back in return. We then went back to snuggling each other where I lean my head against his shoulders with a small grin. However, I soon raise my head up when something important hit me.

"Oh wait! I forgot about the others and Teruhashi! I might've-"

"Calm down, I melt the ice and snow down with my pyrokinesis. Everyone's fine now and Teruhashi's in resting in the nurse's office right now." He assured me.

"Oh okay..." I sighed in relief and I lay my head on his shoulders.

"You know...I always thought you were the quiet and stoic introvert, but I never expect a badass psychic could be so soft." I playfully teased, but Saiki roll his eyes at me.

"Even I am that cold and distant, that doesn't make me a bad person." He bluntly said which I giggled.

"Yeah, yeah I know..." I grinned softly while snuggling up with Saiki. Saiki can't help but grin and wrap an arm and pull me close to him.

"Let's stay here for a while, I rather spend the rest of the day sitting outside than going to class." Saiki sighed as I giggled softly and muzzle my head against his shoulder.

"Alright Saiki...." I said as me and Saiki spend the rest of the day chilling out on the rooftop where I could feel the warmth from my chest and smiled warmly at this unforgettable moment.

Maybe this school isn't going to be that bad after all. Besides...I think I'm going to stay here...with Saiki by my side....

I thought sweetly where me and Saiki enjoyed our quiet and soothing days in school filled with joy, comfort, and peace.
