If there was a happy moment in Haru's life, it had soon been put out when classes had reached an end. He was just about to head to his usual spot when he soon discovered a familiar face from last night entering his classroom. He didn't even need to see who it was, since the shrill screams of delight from every female student in the classroom gave it away.
"Namikaze-kun." the bishounen bastard that was Yuuto Kiba greeted with a grin, ignoring the star-dazzled looks of the girls around him. "Are you free right now?"
"I guess. Why?"
"Would you care to join me for lunch?" At this, Haru balked and stared at the guy as if he were insane. A feeling that was shared by the majority of the class, given their disbelieving looks at his ludicrous suggestion. Seeing his expression, Yuuto laughed slightly and rubbed the back of his neck. "You see, Akeno-san prepared a bit too much for me, so I was hoping to share it with someone. I invited Koneko-chan as well, if it is of any consolation."
The redhead frowned deeply, crossing his arms in thoughts. On the one hand, he'd sooner jump off a bridge than spend time with this damned handsome. On the other hand though, he'd get to spend some time with the famed mascot of the school. Then again, on the third hand, both of the students were also Devils under Rias Gremory. In truth, though, he was a bit curious about what they were like. Were they immortal or something, since they weren't human? Did they age? How old were they? At that thought, he briefly wondered if that would possibly make Koneko a legal loli before he shook his head.
As much as he loved that particular fetish, lolis were more Matsuda's territory.
After a minute, Haru shrugged his shoulders. "Eh, what the hell? Why not?" he said as he stood up. Yuuto's smile grew before Haru raised a hand. "Let me make this clear. I reiterate what I said last night. I. Do not. Like you. The only reason I'm accepting your offer is because I get to spend time with Koneko-chan."
"Even though you already have Tamamo-sama?" Yuuto smirked back, causing Haru to blush madly.
"U-urusai!"
Meanwhile, the girls were having a field day. As they left the classroom, they erupted into hush whispers of excitement.
"D-Did you hear that?!"
"Kiba-sama and that perverted Namikaze-kun, together?!"
"Y-Y-You don't think it might be Namikaze/Kiba, do you?!"
"No! It can't be! I refuse to accept that pairing!"
"Wait, hold on! What if it's Kiba/Namikaze?!"
"I SHIP IT!"
Unknown to them, Yuuto had heard every word as they left. Needless to say, he felt exasperated. Good grief. I'm simply inviting Namikaze-kun with me because Buchou asked me to keep an eye on him. Still, I hope none of this gets back to Akeno-senpai, otherwise she'll have a field day with me.
Haru on the other hand, also heard their remarks. Suffice to say, he was not pleased. Okay, what the hell?! Why the fuck are they shipping us?! I don't swing that way, dammit!
And even if he did, he sure as hell wasn't interested in a bishounen bastard that deserved to die. Thankfully, the whispers soon faded away as he followed Yuuto to the rooftop. Upon arrival, he found Toujou Koneko herself already waiting for them.
"You're late..." She said simply after looking up. She noticed Haru's presence as well, though if she made any notification that she was alarmed, she didn't show. Instead, she nodded her head to him. "... Hentai-senpai."
Haru gawked. "H-Hentai-senpai?" he questioned, clearly taken aback. "Where'd that one come from?"
"... You're a pervert." She answered simply.
Haru slumped over in dejection. Who knew a remark like that from his kouhai hurt so much? Especially from Toujou Koneko. Still, she wasn't wrong. He prided himself in his pervert status, after all.
"Now now, Koneko-chan." Yuuto chided her gently as he held up his lunch box. "I invited Namikaze-kun here. Least you can do is show him some courtesy." Koneko simply gave the two boys a flat stare before shrugging, going back to snacking on the cookie in her mouth. The boys then took their seats around the girl, sitting in a circle of sorts as the blonde opened up the box. Immediately, Haru smelled something wonderful invading his nostrils. Looking at the box, he felt a lump of saliva roll down his throat and his mouth flood, practically drooling over the beautiful presentation of food inside. "Let's eat."
"... Damn." he said absent-mindedly. "On top of being a handsome bastard, you can cook too?"
"Oh, no. I didn't make this. Akeno-san did." Yuuto told him as he rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. "As sad as it is to admit, I'm afraid I can't cook to save my life."
"Really, now?" At least now he found a weakness with the Bishounen bastard. He can't cook! Wait till his fans hear this… scratch that. They would probably find some way to make a positive spin to it and make him even more popular, dammit!
It was like every negative thing would be positive in their eyes! Actually, now that he thought about it… wasn't it kind of the same with him and Tamamo? She knew he was a pervert, yet she still came onto him like crazy. He could still smell her sweet scent from last night when she locked lips with him and gave him his first taste of what a real tongue was like. Never once did he believe he would ever get to experience what it was like to be Frenched. And he was damn sure that no girl could kiss like Tamamo.
Was-was this what it was like to being married? If so, then suddenly, he envied his father and every other married man. On the other hand, said self-proclaimed wife that earned his parents' approval was also the incarnation of the Japanese Sun Goddess, so his relationship was more than weird.
Then again, he was spending his lunch with Devils. Speaking of which...
"... If you guys don't mind me asking, how'd you end up being Devils?" he asked out of pure curiosity. "I mean, unless of course you were born Devils!"
Yuuto chuckled. "I wondered when that questions would be brought up. To answer, Koneko-chan and myself are Reincarnated. As far as I know, the only Pureblood Devils are Buchou and Sitri-Kaichou." Oh, right. The student council president was also a Devil as well. He completely forgot about that. Well, at least now he knew that his comparisons to the Devil were spot-on! She was a literal demon. "As for how we became Devils… that isn't something we're comfortable telling anyone just yet."
"O-Oh."
"I will say this, however." the blonde paused briefly, taking a bite out of the bread Akeno had prepared for him and gulping it down after a thorough chewing. "We owe everything to Buchou for reincarnating us. If it weren't for her..." He trailed off, leaving a faint implication of how life must have been. Not that Haru could understand or imagine. Especially given that it was the damned handsome bastard and the cute loli mascot. "At any rate... Are you going to eat? Can't let this food go to waste, after all."
"R-Right! Thank you for this meal!"
He took his portion of the food and tasted it. His mouth was filled with bliss. Granted it wasn't as good as the food that Tamamo made, but it was still pretty delicious.
