COTE: One-Shots

Tales of a Tsundere Neighbor (2)

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's POV:

Today is the start of our 2nd year in ANHS, I'm waiting for my girlfriend Suzune in hallway so that we can walk to school together, actually it won't be that suspicious because Suzune and I walked to school so many times before. Few days back, when I revealed to Manabu that we are dating, he was overjoyed.

I've got one more issue to think about, which is whether to reveal it to our class or not? Personally, I would be fine with either way but I need Suzune's opinion on this and there is also Tsukishiro and the white room students matter I need to deal with, as I was thinking about the future, Suzune walked up to me.

"Good morning, Kiyotaka-kun!" she greeted with a smile,

"Morning, Suzune. Let's go..." She nodded and we started walking to class,

"So, do you want to keep our relationship a secret or reveal it?"

"About that, I'm thinking of revealing it to the class, is that okay with you?" she asked,

"I'm okay with that, but can I ask why?"

"That's because I don't want anyone to take advantage our relationship. In future, if anyone found out that we are dating in secret and reveals it to our class, it will be a huge mess to clean up and you know about our classmates." she explained, I'm actually surprised how ahead she thought,

"Ok then..." I should probably prepare for Sudo,

"Before that, maybe you should prepare to answer questions about your hair." I tried to joke,

She stopped walking, "Does it look bad?" she asked,

"No, I'm actually surprised by how good you look in short hair. I thought only long hair would suit you."

She blushed, "Thank you..!"

"Before we enter the class, I want to say something." I spoke,

"What is it, Kiyotaka-kun?"

"Kei knows about our relationship."

She looked surprised, "She knows huh, you really trust her, don't you?"

"Not as much as you," I whispered in her ear and kissed her cheek and entered the class,

I sat in my seat and few moments later, Suzune entered with a blush on her face, and this shocked Kushida and Sudo.

"S-Suzune!?" Sudo exclaimed,

"H-Horikita-san, what happened to your hair?" Kushida asked,

"I cut my hair. Something wrong with that, Kushida-san?" Suzune asked,

"Nothing wrong with that... um... maybe I should grow my hair..." Kushida muttered,

"You look cute, Suzune!" Sudo commented,

After few minutes, all students are here in class and waiting for Chabashira-sensei to arrive. Seeing this as good opportunity, Suzune walked in front of the class.

"Is something wrong, Horikita-san?" Yosuke asked,

"Nothing Hirata-kun, I just want to announce something." Suzune said, Yosuke nodded and sat in his seat,

Kei turned to me with a smirk probably realizing what the announcement is about, and small tension filled in me thinking about how Sudo will react to this, we didn't even start our homeroom yet... sigh

Suzune inhaled and let out small sigh, "Kiyotaka-kun and I are dating." she announced,

Most of the class looked shocked and few people looked like they saw this coming, my group looked shocked, Yosuke looked at me with warm smile, the girls are the most surprised probably because they thought Suzune won't be interested in dating and I can understand them. Ike and others looked at Sudo in worry.
