9 | the tutor, the tutored and peke j

''Chifuyu! Peke just came in through the window!'' Baji called from another room - when did he leave, even? - causing Chifuyu to sigh, as if it were a normal occurance.

''Bring him here, Baji-san!'' Chifuyu called out as he made his way to the coffee table, letting his bag fall on the ground next to it. Baji walked in with Peke J in his hands, who was simply looking at the two in curiosity. ''Come here Peke J, I'll bring you back home.''

''No, wait!'' Y/n called just as Chifuyu had taken his cat back in his hands. Both Chifuyu and Peke J looked at her. ''Can't he stay here?''

''We're supposed to study, he'll be distracting,'' Chifuyu said, stroking his fur. ''He's a menace when I sit down to concentrate on something.''

''C'mon, he can't be that bad, right?''

How is he so calm and quiet? Is she a cat-whisperer or something? Chifuyu couldn't help but get distracted as Y/n explained how to go through the math equation both him and Baji were struggling with.

It had been over and hour, they had collectively finished around seven drinks and Peke J has been sleeping soundlessly next to Y/n ever since they started studying, not bothering them in the slightest. This has never happened to Chifuyu before - had she enchanted him? Hypnotized?

''Are you listening, Chifuyu? You said you were struggling, you know?'' Y/n called him, breaking his train of thoughts.

''Sorry, I got distracted,'' Chifuyu said as he looked back down at his notebook, a rosy tint appearinng on his cheeks. ''What was it again?''

''Chifuyu-'' Y/n was cut off by the alarm she'd set up on her phone. ''Shit! I have cram school today!''

She quickly got up and scrambled to collect her things, packing them in her bag. Chifuyu stood up as well, watching her as she rushed. ''I can give you a ride, if you want-''

''No, don't worry. Have Baji explain to you what I explained and we can continue studying another day, okay? Bye!''

She was gone before any of them could protest and Chifuyu sighed, sitting back down on the floor. He huffed. Why did she always decline his offers? He just wanted to help her, it wasn't like he just enjoyed seeing her wear his helmet or enjoyed having her arms wrapped around his waist.

His head banged on the table, startling Peke J out of his sleep, who noticed that Y/n was no longer there and started meowing in confusion.

Chifuyu sighed. Time to bring him back upstairs.

July 3rd, 2005 - 1:02 a.m.

The sounds of tapping on her window stirred her from her sleep. At first, she decided to ignore it, thinking it had probably started raining. Yeah, raining. That was the most logical explanation, right?

After the sound intensified, however, Y/n couldn't help but crack her eyes open. It was still dark outside, what was happening? Her eyes travelled to the digital clock on her bedside table, noticing it was just past one in the morning.

Sitting up in her bed, her eyes trailed to her window - a dark figure was standing there, tapping on her window in the middle of the night. Holy fuck, holy fuck, holy fuck, her breathing intensified as she slowly moved her hand to the side of her bed, picking up the bat that was propped on the wall, suddenly glad that she'd bought the special edition Harley Queen bat for decoration.

Holding the bat up, she made her way to the window, standing to the side so the figure wouldn't notice her. The knocking continued, which must've meant they still hadn't realized she was awake.

Okay, Y/n, you've got this, she thought as she took a deep breath before she jumped in front of the window, bat in hand as so show the person she was armed and to - hopefully - scare him.

The person didn't seem phased, but they did stop knocking. Y/n squinted her eyes and, thanks to the street lights, managed to make out Chifuyu's grin.

Quickly opening the window, she let the bat to rest against her bed. ''What the hell are you doing here, Chifuyu? Acting like a creep, no less!''

Chifuyu couldn't help but chuckle at her reaction, raising up a notebook and a pen he'd been holding whilst leaning on the window. ''Care to explain some math to me?''

Silence.

''You woke me up at one in the morning, scaring the shit out of me, just to teach you some math?''

''Yup!''

Silence.

A chop on the head and a silent whine. ''Chifuyu, you're a fucking idiot.''

''Please! I really don't understand it and I can't fall asleep unless I do it!''

Silence.

''I swear to fucking God . . . come in.''

Chifuyu grinned as he jumped over the window, landing on the carpet in her room. He waited until she turned on the light and he started looking around. The room . . . was nothing special, if he had to be honest. But it was Y/n's, and that pretty much made it special to Chifuyu.

His eyes trailed to her, noticing she was wearing her pyjamas - obviously - and her hair was messy. Her eyes still looked tired, now that she had relaxed and he couldn't help but find her cute.

''What're you looking at? Come here, I want to go back to sleep,'' Y/n said as she sat down on the ground, crossing her legs and waiting for him impatiently. Chifuyu walked over, sitting down across from her and putting his notebook in front of both of them, explaining to her what he didn't understand.

''Goddamit, this is so easy, how do you not understand it? I explained it earlier, too.'' She leaned forward as she wrote down tips on how to do it with his pen, whilst Chifuyu watched silently, hearing her murmur something about how she 'couldn't believe she was doing math at one in the morning' and that she 'couldn't believe she actually let him in'.

''Here. Can I go back to sleep now?''

Chifuyu hadn't realized when she had finished, but once he got his notebook back, he grinned. ''Yup! Thank you so much and sorry for waking you up, Tutor-san!''

Y/n rolled her eyes as she stood up, pointing her finger towards her - still-opened - window. ''Shush, just go now.''

He got up and quickly left, bidding her a good night before walking down the stairs of the building. His notebook was under his arm as his hands were in the pockets of his pyjama pants, silently whistling as he made his way home. A single thought ran through his head.

Man, she'd be pissed if she knew I actually knew how to solve this.
