Saiki and Teruhashi's Final School Year (A Saiki and Teruhashi Fanfiction)

Pyschic da Vinci

POV: Saiki Kusuo

Art Teacher: Today we're doing some rough sketches. Everyone get into pairs and draw your partner while you face each other.

A normal class, I would choose anyone that looks normal...if Kokomi isn't standing in front of me with a bright smile.

T: Saiki-

S: Just sit down.

She sat down in front of me and talked.

T: No objections this time?

S: Well,

I looked to the group of boys in despair from being incapable of drawing Kokomi. 

S: Doesn't look like I have much of a choice.

We started a conversation when we were drawing.

T: How good are you at drawing?

S: Because of thoughtography, I can draw an exact portrait of you right now.

T: Oh.

S: You don't sound that happy.

T: I'm worried that my drawing won't look as good. And I doubt that you want to show everyone your perfect portrait.

S: We don't need to compare, I'd appreciate anything you give me. Also I noticed that I haven't given you anything lately since we went to the theme park. 

I look up to see Kokomi lightly blushing.

T: Most of the things you do for me don't really leave a souvenir.

S: We could've bought something when we were on the cruise ship or the Yokote Festival.

T: People usually buy souvenirs because they can't come back.

S: You want to go back to those places again?

T: Why not? Maybe the next time we go there it won't be just the two of us.

Wonder what she means by that. 

T: Plus, I got all I needed when we were there.

S: Which is?

She looked to me and smiled.

T: Spending time with you.

S: That's nice to hear.

With that topic out of the way, I changed the subject.

S: And about showing others my portrait of you,

T: Hm?

S: Maybe it's about time I put myself out there.

T: What do you mean by that?

S: I'm trying to be more active in my school life.

T: I have seen you becoming more social, but what brought this on?

S: It might make things easier when we finally make our relationship public.

T: That's great!

Kokomi got too excited and shouted that out loud.

Y: What's up, Kokomi? 

T: Oh, it's just that Saiki's drawing is very good.

Don't know if she's already supporting me or she panicked that she threw me under the bus.

K: Lemme see.

The usual group surrounded me and looked at the portrait I drew.

N: This looks amazing pal!

A: It looks just like Teruhashi.

The whole class got so curious of my portrait that they took it right out of my hands.

T: Looks like the portrait worked too well.

S: Should've expected that the art would overshadow the artist.

T: Even so, people would always ask about the artist.

H: Wow, that looks awesome, who drew that?

N: It was pal.

B1: It was Saiki-san?

G1: Didn't know he was good at drawing.

T: See.

While assuring me, Kokomi handed me her portrait and Chiyo glanced at it from behind me.

Y: Kokomi, your portrait of Kusuo looks great too!

T: It's not that much.

Chisato: Chiyo! Don't you want to see Saiki's sketch of Kokomi?

Y: Be right there!

When Chiyo left, I noticed that the drawing paper is smaller than usual.

S: Did u cut the paper?

T: It's folded.

I unfolded the paper to see the background of the sketch covered with flowers.

S: Couldn't restrain yourself?

T: It's not my fault that's how I see you.

Now every time we visit each other's rooms, there'll always be a framed portrait of Kokomi in my room, and the portrait of me in hers, right next to both of our beds.
