Requested by thodien1502

I'll be putting her OC Akazora Shiroko.

Hi there! I'm officially on holidays... I can update! (Unless I'm lazy) Won't bother you for too long go ahead and read the storyyy!

~~~~~~~~~~

Akazora got out of the supermarket with two bags in her hands full with groceries. She walked step by step carefully, struggling in keeping the bags in her hands.

"Do you need help?"

The sound of a deep male voice made Shiroko turn her head. Her eyes widened for a second, seeing the captain of Raimon Eleven at her school. They were in the same class but she doubted that the famous Shindou would remember her. She quickly shook her head indicating 'no' as her answer before rushing away.

Shiroko missed a step in her rush and accidentally let go of one of the bags. Frustrated, she got on her knees and picked up the groceries, hoping that Shindou did not see all of that.

Her hope vanished when the young boy rushed to her side and helped her pick up her stuffs. His fingers suddenly brushed her hand and she strangely felt a jolt of electricity rushing through her. Shiroko told herself that it was only because she had never been this near to a boy before. When they finished collecting her groceries, she stood up, grabbed the two packed bags, mumbled a small 'thank you' and walked away.

Shiroko hated talking to people, everytime she did, the right words did not come out of her mouth, she prefered staying silent. She was just too shy. Sometimes she came out as rude but she could not do otherwise, her willpower would not let her.

The quick pace of footsteps behind her woke her up from her thoughts. Before she could turn around, she sensed the palm of a hand wrapping her wrist and dropping down to her fingers, releasing them from the bag. Shiroko jolted and was about to scream when she saw the handsome captain bending down beside her.

Shindou came back up with a bag in his hand. "I can't leave you alone when you are struggling alone like this. Let's go. Where's your house?"

Shiroko was surprised by his kindness. Usually, people said that she was rude when she acted like that but Shindou was nothing like them. Even so, she felt extremely shy by his side, she felt like a cat beside a lion, his body held power and confidence which she certainly did not have.

Shiroko walked ahead without answering not knowing what to do. She decided to stop and mumbled, "Thank you again..."

A small smile appeared on Shindou's lips. "I heard that. You're welcome."

They continued on walking in silence side by side until they reached her house. Shindou reluctantly handed the bag to Shiroko, standing there as he watched her walk towards the front door with the two bags. Shiroko turned and bowed down deeply to Shindou, showing how grateful she was for his help.

Shindou smiled and waved. "Good night, Akazora-san."

Shiroko watched him walk away, speechless. Nobody ever remembered her. Shindou made a big place in her heart when striking her with the sweet sound of his voice saying her name. She felt happy that someone remembered her name like nobody else did. She entered her house with a big smile on her face.

"Can you move away?"

The three girls looked at Shiroko from head to toe in disgust. The girl sitting at her seat exclaimed, "Can't you see we're talking about something important? Go away, you weird girl."

It took all her courage to say those words to them but since they would not understand, she preferred staying in the dark and just go away.

"Please get out of her seat, Fujisaki."

Shiroko stared at the broad large back standing before her, surprised of someone defending her.

Saya was clearly shocked, glaring at Shindou and Shiroko. She arrogantly stood up and walked back to her seat with her friends behind her.

"Are you okay?" Shindou asked, staring intently into her eyes.

"Y-Yes... Thanks..." Shiroko answered, avoiding eye contact before taking her seat. She hoped for Shindou to return back to his seat but he just stood there staring at her, looking disappointed.

"You should have talked back to them. Why do you always swallow your pride?" Shindou pointed out before walking away.

Shiroko suddenly felt bad about herself. Why did she not fight for her seat? She hated trouble, she hated fights, she hated dealing with people like Saya. Even so, being antisocial would not help her, she did not want poeple like Shindou defending her all the time. She wanted to change, and that was Shindou who made her realise this.

After class, she quickly gathered her things and rushed to Shindou's table. She was just about to reach there when his best friend Kirino came by and started talking to Shindou. Kirino gave her weird glances, wanting to know what she was doing there. When Shindou turned around to look at what Kirino was staring at, there was nothing.

"What are you staring at, Kirino?"

"It was just this girl, the one with green hair and orange eyes, it felt like I stopped her from talking to you."

"Shiroko? She would never take the initiative to talk to me."

"isn't it the girl whom you always talked about?'' Kirino questioned.

"Yeah... She finally noticed me."

Shiroko had stayed hidden under the table and had heard all of their conversation. She wondered what did he mean by finally noticed him? She quietly went out of the classroom while the two boys were discussing. What could he mean by that?

******

Her mind still wandered to Shindou when it was time to return home. While walking to the bus stop, she could not stop thinking about him and his conversation with his best friend. Wasn't it her who got noticed in the first place?

"Akazora-san!"

Shiroko turned around at the call of her name and was surprised to see the one whom she could not stop on thinking about. "Shindou-san...?"

Shindou was out of breath from running. He regained his breath and said, "Did you want to tell me something before?"

"Oh, right..." Shiroko faced him hesitantly, took all of her courage and continued, "I wanted to thank you for everything you've done. You should not bother with me anymore. I will try to become a better person."

"This is not enough."

Shiroko was confused as to why Shindou said such words and stood surprised when Shindou engulfed her into a hug. "Shindou-san...?"

Shindou released her from her grip but kept her close as he said, "I always felt intrigued by you, the only girl who could surpass me in ranks, the girl who was always alone. I've observed you since the start, you had this atmosphere around you that keep people away but it only attracts me. I've tried to talk to you multiple times but you did not take notice of me. Now that you've finally noticed me, I can finally say this, I love you, Shiroko, very much."

Shiroko's mouth dropped open. At his confession, she realised that there was someone who understood her for who she was, someone who liked her. This feeling that she had been getting was maybe... Love? Was this what she was feeling towards Shindou? Indecisive, she did not know what to do.

Shindou noticed her troubled expression and sighed. "You can answer me later. I've waited patiently for you all this time, a few weeks too would not be too much. Just remember that I really love you."

Shiroko nodded and looked down blushing, muttering, "I-I think I may like you too..."

"Really?"

"I-It's just that I've been getting this weird feeling about you lately and I think of you a lot these last few days... Is that l-love?"

A huge smile spread through Shindou's face as he took her hands and kissed them. "Yes, I do think so."

Shindou grabbed Shiroko by the waist and pulled him towards him in a flash. They were dangerously close to each other, their mouths were very close. Shindou could not resist the temptation and bent his neck down to kiss her. The kiss started off as gentle and sweet and continued as passionate and rough.

It was the start of a new love for Shindou and Shiroko.
