Hard Paper

-Chapter 5- •Warming up to Eachother•

Kuro: "This is really bad... If this was a normal school we could just report this to the student council, teachers or the principal... but in here, nobody could possibly care..." he looks at Shiko

Shiko: What am I going to do.....? She says silently, stuttering

Kuro gets near Shiko and stands her up slowly

Kuro: The bathroom looks fine... you should go wash up a little... I'll stay near the door so nobody comes in. He says looking to the side
"This isn't really my business but i can't just leave her alone like this. That would be too cruel. I'm not like my family."

Shiko: B-but.... what could i wear after... practically everything is gone... she looks around trying to find clothes to wear, she finds one single white jeans but doesn't even look at it much, trying to look for other stuff. Kuro lifts up the jeans and looks at it.

Kuro: What's wrong with this? It looks like nothing happened to it? He says while looking at the completely fine and unhurt Jeans, Shiko looks over

Shiko: My mother bought it for me few moths ago because my sister thought it would look nice.. But no girl in this school ever wears pants... no matter how tomboyish they are. I don't want people making fun of me more than they already do... Plus they would just look funny on me.. she averts her eyes

Kuro holds the jeans in front of Shiko

Kuro: Hmmm, I think they would suit you?~ he smiles a little unconsciously

Shiko blushes a little and takes it from him

Shiko: W-Wouldn't matter. I still don't have a shirt.. she says silently

Kurosaki thinks for a second

Kuro: Oh, I think I have some shirts from freshmen year in my dorm. I'm sure some would fit you... looks at Shiko up and down
Well, fit you enough at least? He giggles slightly

Shiko hesitantly pushes Kuro a little and Puffs her cheeks slightly

Shiko: N-not funny..! She looks away

Kuro's eyes open wide

Kuro: You are opening up! That was friendly! He says with surprise

Shiko blushes a little gets in the bathroom, taking the jeans with her

Kuro giggles and speaks to the bathroom door

Kuro: Not that it works, but I'm gonna close the main door temporarily and go see what shirt I can find that you could wear. It won't take long, will you be fine by then? He says from the other side of the door

Shiko: Umm... S-sure. Take you time... she says with slight worry

Kuro leaves and closes the broken door as convincingly stable as he can, he goes up to his room to find something for Shiko while Shiko takes a shower.

Shiko: "Are we....friends..? Is that what it is...? I've, never had a friend before..." she falls in thought while washing herself

She shakes some water off and leans on the wall

Shiko: "No.... he saved me many times since we met. There has got to be a catch. What does he want? What can I even give to him? Why did he even pick me to do... whatever he is trying to do..!?" She turns the water off and takes a deep breath
