"Oh. It looks like someone else beat me here..."

12:00 pm
Lunch break

Toya flinched lightly in response, looking up at the mysterious person with wide eyes. He took off his headphones quickly and his them. He accidentally mistook the boy for a teacher. Thankfully it wasn't a teacher. But the way the boy just suddenly appeared gave him quite the scare...

Taking a good look at the boy. He seemed just about Toya's age, same grade probably. The boy had orange hair, messed up to the point where it almost looked like he had bed hair. There was also a single small yellow streak of hair that sat there on his bangs.

"Hmm... Well I guess we could share this spot..." the boy sighed softly, walking down to the step that was just 5 above the one Toya was sitting on.

Not recognizing this stranger, Toya shot a glare at him. The atmosphere slowly getting heavy, he wanted to occupy himself with something so that he could ignore the other male. So, he reached into his bag, grabbing his lunch and just quickly started to eat it.

But remembering that his lunch was made by his father, he gagged slightly. His eyes wide open again. Desperately wanting to spit it out the food, he almost looked like he was choking... But he knew it would be rude of him to do that in front of some, random person.

"You okay...? You look like you're choking or something...." The boy asked, tossing a water bottle over to Toya.

Where the hell did he get the water bottle from...

Reacting a bit slow.. Toya hesitated on his decision to catch the bottle or not. But the water bottle ended up falling down on the step beside him. Both of them staring at the bottle. An awkward moment of silence passed. Coincidentally, both of them looked up at each other at the same time.

"You... Were supposed to catch that." The boy pointed out.

Toya looked at the bottle, then back at him. Hesitatingly, he grabbed the bottle. He wore a cold expression on his face again, but it seemed to have softened a bit as he opened the bottle. The boy moved a step down, sitting closer to Toya.

Toya noticed and tried to resist the urge to move away, not wanting to make the situation more awkward than it already was. So he just simply looked away from him.

Though the male noticed how Toya was slowly starting to tense up. So he tried to keep his distance to not make him uncomfortable.

"So.... What's your name?" The ginger asked curiously.

Toya stayed quiet, his gazed focused on his hands. Avoiding eye contact with the boy at all costs, for he fears that he might slip up and say something wrong.

"Why would you want to know my name...?" Toya asked back, still keeping his cold tone as he spoke.

"Well would you rather have me call you boy with... weird hair??" The boy said jokingly.

"Says the one who has bright orange looking hair, with some random yellow streak." Toya said back, shooting a glare at him. He sounded mad..

"Rude... I think the yellow streak looks good." The boy pouted.

It really doesn't.... It looks kinda stupid...

Toya's thoughts were filled with many things he could say about this person's hair. But since most of the thoughts in his head were mostly insults, he decided not to speak.

"Okay, Boy with weird blue hair.." The boy said teasingly with a smirk.

Toya just rolled his eyes in response, bringing his focus back to his hands.

"Anyways, I'm Shinonome Akito. Nice to meet you I guess."

Shinonome... Shinonome?!

Toya looked up at the boy in shock. Akito looked back at him with a confused expression.

"What?"

"Shinonome..?"

"Yeah, Shinonome. Like that one knight from that myth that's not really myth? Shinonome Aki? "

What the hell was happening??? First he had dreams about Aki. Next he meets some random kid on the stairs whose name is coincidentally Shinonome Akito?! If they were from the same blood line too... This was going to drive him crazy.

"You okay...?" Akito asked. Toya didn't respond as he was lost in his thoughts. Trying to process what just happened.

"I'm fine.." Toya replied finally, sighing softly as he looked back at Akito an expressionless expression.

Akito chuckled softly, adjusting his position so that he was facing Toya now. "Well, let's change the topic now. Do you perhaps know about..." He spoke, beginning to ramble on about random things.

He doesn't seem... Uncomfortable or anything... Do I not.. Intimidate him..? 

Toya thought to himself quietly.

Maybe.

Maybe this time.

He could finally befriend someone.
