Take your time (Tamaki x Reader)

The Library

With 10 minutes left of lunch, you decide to explore the school by yourself. After thanking your new friends for lunch you slip out into the hallway. It's empty because the rest of the school is either still eating lunch or hanging out in the gym. You've never been that good at sports anyways, you'd prefer not to show everyone your lack of skill just yet. You find a plain wooden door at the end of the hallway and decide to enter. As you open the door, you're met with the smell of books and silence. Oh yeah! It's the library. You rush inside and run your fingers along the spines of the books, pulling out one every now and then to check the cover. You let out a satisfied sigh. God you love the library. You feel someone's eyes on you, so you turn around.

Sitting at the tabled behind you is the purple-haired boy from art class. He's looks as if he's deep in concentration reading his book right now, but you're pretty sure he was just watching you. You walk over and sit across and a few chairs over from him with the new book you just picked out.

"Hi. Whatcha readin?" You ask quietly. He holds up his book and you see that it's a murder mystery you've read before.

"Ooh nice! I love that one! Hey, have you read the Westing Game?" He nods and smiles. You grin back. "I'm Y/N! Today's my first day here. Nice to meet another mystery lover." You wait for him to introduce himself, but he doesn't. "What's your name?" You ask. He mutters something unintelligible, then reaches down into his backpack and pulls out a black notebook. He opens it to a clean page and writes in small block letters 'Tamaki.'

Hmm, why didn't he just say that? Maybe he's mute or something, you think, but no- you heard him talk earlier. At least you think you did. Whatever. You shrug and push the notepad back to him, then open your book. Three pages later, the bell rings and Tamaki jumps. You stifle a laugh- you don't want him to hate you after all, but it is kind of cute how focused he gets. He stands up to leave so you impulsively grab his arm to stop him. He lets out a yelp and this time you do giggle out loud.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you! I was just wondering if maybe you could show me to my next class? It's AP English. Normally I would just find it myself but I don't want to be late to another class today..." His eyes widen as you talk and when you close your mouth he nods. "Oh yes! Thank you so much!" 

He walks pretty fast, looking back every few seconds to make sure you're following. When he finally stops, he nods towards a door. You thank him and walk in, then turn around in surprise when he follows you. "Oh! Are you in this class too?" You ask. He nods again and steps in behind you.

"Oh you must be Y/N!!! Welcome!!! And thank you for bringing her her Mr. Amajiki!!!" A tall blond man with sunglasses practically yells his greetings to you. "I'm Mr Yamada!!!!" You exchange pleasantries with him and then ask where to sit. He laughs and looks at Tamaki. "Well" he says, "it looks like your time has run out dude!" Then he turns to me and loudly says "Your friend Tamaki here practically begged me to sit by himself this year and I told him he could unless we got a new student!!! That's you!!!" Tamaki's face turns beet red and he stares at the floor, then rushes away to an empty table. Mr Yamada chuckles and pushes you gently towards him. Well. This is going to be awkward.
