That's the third time in the day Leon's eraser has rolled off his desk. The first and second time were fine, he was able to reach it with his long arm, but this time... it decides to roll all the way under Reiji's table. There's no way he can reach. Maybe his eraser is a Submember... ]
Reeeiji-kuuun... Help me?
[ He tilts his head, though not particularly intending to act cute ー he knows it doesn't work on Reiji, anyway, but he still does it out of habit. ]
[ The eraser has good taste in people, but the thought of who owned the eraser was enough to make him feel annoyed. No, Reiji refused to help Leon pick it up. This wasn't the first time, it wasn't the second time, heck, he'd lost count of the number of times Leon's eraser dropped by his feet. ]
...
[ He rests his chin on his palm, pretending not to hear Leon's cries for help.
Nope. Not his problem at all. Maybe if he ignored it, it'll just go away. ]
[ Dammit. Reiji couldn't decide whether having to listen to Leon whine or actually having to help Leon was worse. Probably the former, and no one said Reiji had to help nicely. ]
Aaahhh alright alright, be quiet already!
[ Reiji gestured to the floor, then used his long, yes, his incredibly long legs to help kick the eraser back to where Leon could reach it. All from the niceness of his heart. ]
[ He'll pick the eraser up, dusting it. Poor Eraser-chan... :( Sorry Reiji-kun is such a meanie. Still, Reiji did help him, in a sense, so like a good boy that he is, he'll still say his gratitude! ]
Thank you, Reiji-kun!
[ And back to solving math problems he goes! ...Not that he understands anything. He supports the side of his head with one arm while formulas and numbers on the textbook are making his head spin. Which is which? 'a' is... what?
If Reiji thinks that peace has been acquired with the 'eraser help', it's a big mistake, because not even a minute after-- ]
Reiji-kuuunnn. I don't get number one...
[ It's been almost half an hour since they were asked to solve the problems in the whole page and guess who's still stuck at the beginning. ]
[ Reiji clicked his tongue. Yup, just another day in class sitting beside Leon. Even if he wanted to take a short nap, it was impossible.
And wait-- did Leon just say he was stuck at the first question? After half an hour? Even if he was stupid, the first question was supposed to be the easiest-- ]
Leon... If you don't start solving things yourself you'll never get any smarter.
[ Yet Leon's face told him all he needed to know. Reiji sighed. That guy was never going to be able to solve anything without help. ]
But well? If you really need Reiji-sama to help you, you should know how to show your gratitude.
[ A smug look appeared on Reiji's face. Just like how you would pray to a god to help you with your problems, surely Leon would know how to appease the great Reiji.
[ As much as a tsundere Reiji is, Leon knows that he's a good guy at heart. He also knows the guy will comply as long as he pulls the right strings. He may not be academically smart, but he's been with Reiji for a while now to understand him enough. ]
Uu...
[ Despite the rivalry he has with Reiji and his occasional (slightly) prideful moment, he's also very quick to throw that pride if it means he'll get what he wants. ]
Reiji-sama!! You look... [ Um, uh... ] neat today!! [ Okay, that's not good enough... Hmm... hm. He clasps his hands before his own face, lowering his head. ] You're very smart and I only have you to rely on!! Please!! Teach me!!
[ Yes, Reiji is very smart, and yes, Leon doesn't have anyone else who can stand his lack of... knowledge in general. So out of nothing but pity for this mere mortal that is Leon, Reiji will offer a helping hand. ]
Yes...yes. I guess it can't be helped, let's see...
[ He shifts slightly closer to Leon, but not too much because personal space, though Leon never seemed to learn the meaning of those words. He taps his finger on a formula written in their textbook. ]
You'll have to use this to find 'a'. You have the value of 'b', so...
[ Reiji explains it in a simple way, simple enough that even people like Leon and Daiya can understand. No, he wasn't going to let Leon look at his work directly this time. ]
Indeed, Leon doesn't know what personal space is and is wondering why Reiji is standing so far (he's not). But that thought is immediately halted now that Reiji's started his explanation. Leon knows it'll annoy him if he has to explain twice, so he makes it a point to listen intently.
He nods along with loud "hmm hmm!", eyes following the movement of Reiji's finger. Maybe because Reiji is so used to teaching people like Daiya, his explanations are always fairly easy to understand, even for Leon. ]
I got it...! I think I understand! Thank you, Reiji-kun!!
[ Did Reiji hear wrong? Number two? Surely he meant that he needed to go to the toilet, and not question number two. Was Leon seriously going to ask about every question? There were 20! ]
...Have you tried the second question yourself yet?
[ Reiji's patience was wearing thin. Maybe it was really easier to let Leon look at his work like he usually does. But that meant that Leon wouldn't learn anything, and that would be bad--- for ARP. Leon wouldn't be able to take part in activities.
That's right, I forgot you weren't very smart to begin with.
[ Cutting words, because someone needs to tell Leon he is stupid from time to time. For now, he would at least tell Leon which formulas to use for which questions, and hopefully that would suffice until the end of class.
But not before getting a bit more begging. ]
Well, what to do... [ A yawn. ] Reiji is getting a bit tired...
[ Reiji sighs again, very audibly. What did he even expect from Leon anyway? He decided the best way is to make Leon owe him one and collect it in the future, with interest. Not long before class ends anyway, so he'll only need to put up with this for about another 20 minutes or so. ]
Alright, see here. This question you want to use this formula...
[ He explains some of the reasoning behind why the formula is used, but every so often he sees a flash of doubt on Leon's face that worried him a little. Is he going to be okay this year? ]
[ After excruciating 20 minutes for both of them, the class is finally over and it's time for recess. Leon is absolutely Not Okay, looking at the amount of help he needed from Reiji. In the end they only got to number 5 because of his snail pace. ]
Ahhh... [ Leon melts down, placing his chin on his table. ] I don't think I can think anymore today... My brain's fried!
[ Leaning one side of his cheek on the table, he looks up to Reiji. ]
[ It was a hundred times more excruciating for Reiji, he was sure about that. The sound of the school bell sounded like melodious choirs that sounded about in heaven, with the main vocalist being himself of course. ]
Just lie there and starve.
[ That was enough charity work for today. Plus today, Reiji could take it easy since Daiya had prepared a bento for him that morning. Maybe he could catch a quick nap as well.
[ The flattened Leon comes back to life the moment he hears the sound of Reiji opening his bento box, good aroma wafting around them. That smells so good!! His imaginary dog ears and tails perk up as he runs up to Reiji's side, trying to have a good look of today's menu. ]
Eehhhh, that's so unfair, I also want bento from Daiya-sannn! [ He whines, staring at the glistening sparkle from the healthy ingredients. Sure he likes his junk foods, but Daiya-san's cooking is one of the very best!! ] Reiji-kun, if you're not gonna eat it, I can eat it for you, you know?
It's the benefit of having a live in gorilla-maid.
[ Reiji was proud of himself for allowing Daiya to enjoy the wonders of cooking for him. ]
I guess the kind hearted Reiji will allow you to have the nimono.
[ Ah, what benevolence Reiji was showing, to feed the starving! He wasn't going to eat it anyway, so giving it to Leon would be the next best option. The rest of it was his alone, though, and he would protect it with his life. ]
[ This is not the first time this has happened but Leon falls for it every time. ]
Moou!! Reiji-kun is such a sadist!
[ Despite the protests, he takes the chopsticks in his hands and begin wolfing the nimono down. Mmm! As expected from Daiya-san! It's so good!! But now that he's eaten a bit, he wants more... Time to pull out his Kansai bargaining card. ]
[ Just a bit was always a lie. Reiji learns from his mistakes, unlike the certain someone in front of him. No way was he going to share the rest. This delicious offering was his and his alone. ]
Are you sure you don't want to go buy your food? [ He tilts his head, completely ignoring Leon's pleas for some of the meat. ] If you don't go soon, recess will be over.
[ Of course it doesn't work on Reiji. He needs to think up of a new strategy to get Reiji to share his food more. Maybe he should ask Shinji-paisen for some advice on that. ]
Fine. [ He straightens up again, pouting and pointing at Reiji. ] Airu bii bakku! [ What is he even trying to do... Anyway, he'll be off to the school canteen for a couple of minutes. ]
[ Reiji blinked as he watched Leon run out of the classroom in an overly dramatic fashion.
Ah, the sudden peace and quiet Reiji found himself enveloped in. He knew it was going to be short lived, but it was still welcome nevertheless. Just him and his delicious bento.
He settled back comfortably into his seat, eating his food at a steady pace. Yum. ]
[ It is indeed short-lived. Probably 15 minutes tops.
At least, the re-entrance of the 'Terminator' is quiet, but it's a troublesome one, as always. He peeks from the sliding door, looking somber and heavy atmosphere is spreading through the class just by his presence. It's like someone decides to cut open the school roof and let the rain fall in there. ]
Reiji-kun~~~
[ It's a soft whine, and yet it feels loud and like it echoes in your ears. He totters from the door to Reiji's seat, face looks like an upside down crescent moon. ]
That's what you get for wasting so much time trying to steal other people's food.
[ Reiji's reply was slightly smug. No, Reiji would never waste time like that. All the traces of pity from math class just now was all gone. When it comes to food, it was war. The winner takes it all. ]
I'm still not going to give you anything. [ He puts another piece of karaage into his mouth. ] Ahh, so delicious.
