Eating my lunch quietly I noticed Sugino was missing from his seat to spots in front of me.
"eh? where could he be?" I hummed looking all over the classroom.
He was just here....
Standing from my seat I headed to the hallway.
"Sugino? Sugino? Where are you?" I called looking around.
After a while I found myself outside.
"Sugino!"
"Kimiko? what are you doing out here?"
Spinning around I saw the dark blue haired boy witting on the stairs behind the school.
"Oh! there you are! I was starting to believe you left.. Hey whats with the long face?" I asked concerned, hurrying up the stairs and sitting next to him.
"Oh it's nothing" he laughed slightly waving it off.
"That's not what your eyes say. They're glossier than usual and distant like your thinking deeply about something" I explained.
His eyes widened.
"Okay Kimiko your whole eye reading thing is getting a little creepy" he teased nudging me slightly with his elbow.
Laughing quietly I nodded.
"Sorry about that... But seriously, are you okay?" I asked softly setting an hand on his arm.
He sighed and dropped his fake smile before looking at the ground.
"I always wanted to be a baseball player its been my dream since I was just a little boy. But now that I'm in E-class there no chance I'll get in anywhere.... I try so hard and I can't ever pitch a fast ball" he muttered covering his face with his hands.
Slowly moving his hands I pulled him to a friendly hug.
"Maybe your not meant to be a pitcher. As you good at catching? Running the bases? Hitting the ball?" I asked rubbing his back carefully.
He shook his head
"no I can't be those I want to be- I need to be a pitcher" he whimpered slightly in to my chest blushing a bit at how his face was buried in my boobs.
Sighing I hugged him tighter before pulling away as I sensed someone coming.
Looking at the top of the stairs I looked up just in time for Koro-sensei to open the door.
"There you are. this may come in handy" Koro-sensei chuckled holding out Sugino's baseball that was covered in anti Koro-sensei bee bees.
If I'm correct it was the exact one that Sugino had tried to kill Koro-sensei with this morning.
"Eh?" We both looked up at the yellow man.
"Thank you Koro-sensei.... wait what are you eating?" Sugino asked,
Looking up I saw him eating a large round brown object.
"Yeah.. what is that?"
"It's a coconut i grabbed from Hawaii yesterday! Care for a bite?" He held it my face.
"Uhm no I'm good" I laughed slowly pushing his tentacle out of my face.
"What about you Sugino?"
"Uhm you shouldn't eat the husk " Was all he said before slowly taking his baseball.
"Solid throw yesterday by the way" Koro-sensei shrugged sitting in between me and Sugino.
"Huh yeah right, says the guy who could probably throw a ball farther and faster on accident than I'll ever be able to on purpose" Sugino scoffed leaning back and tossing his baseball up and catching it.
Sighing I smiled sadly not arguing because I knew it was most likely true.
"Are you on a team?" Koro-sensei asked.
Looking at Sugino's eyes I immediately knew that was sore subject for the blue haired boy.
"I used to be" He murmured looking down sadly.
Sitting on his other side I rubbed his back comfortingly.
"And your not any longer?" Koro-sensei asked obviously not knowing the full extent to E class.
"Koro-sensei... E class is for kids who need to kick their grades in to gear, they automatically kick you from any team group or club because your here to learn and not to be distracted by anything else. Only class D and above are allowed to participate" I explained sighing as I remembered my old basketball team.
"Sounds suspiciously like discrimination....." Koro-sensei hummed.
"I would have gotten booted anyways... c'mon you saw my pitch... I'm too slow I never strike anyone out, I ended up bench warming most of the season. I was so depressed I got just as slow hitting the books that's why I got packed up here to the mountain...." He sighed.
"Sugino?"
Looking up at the yellow man I saw a dark creepy look o his face.
"Eh?" I backed up freaking out a bit.
"May I give you some friendly piece of advice?" He smirked darkly.
Suddenly he grabbed Sugino and began wrapping all of his tentacles around him.
"AH! Sugino!" I screamed when suddenly he picked me up and wrapped his tentacle around my arms so I was held down in my place.
"Aye!" I screamed out struggling against him.
Quickly using my mouth to grab the knife in my bra I carefully slammed the knife on his tentacle cutting it off of me and jumped away.
Suddenly Nagisa ran down the steps.
"Are you okay?" He asked grabbing my arm.
"I'm fine. Quick we have to stop him before he hurts Sugino!" I exclaimed.
The blue haired boy nodded and we ran down to the sensei.
"Please sir! don't do this! " I exclaimed.
"Eh?"
"He was just doing what he had to! The deal was that you couldn't hurt any of us!" Nagisa panicked waving his arms around.
"Ha ha ha there it is! I thought I recognized that pitching style .. you were copying major-league pitcher Arita!" Koro-sensei exclaimed.
"Eh?" I rose an eyebrow in confusion as Sugino stopped struggling and gasped shocked.
"That's right! these tentacles don't lie!" Koro-sensei chuckled setting down the blue haired boy.
Quickly helping him up we looked back at Koro-sensei.
"Your shoulders are significantly less flexible than your idols I'm afraid.. " Koro-sensei sighed.
Sugino let out a hurt noise and I frowned at Koro-sensei's bluntness.
"What exactly are you trying to say?" Sugino asked angrily obviously hurt by our teachers words as he pulled away from me.
"That the famous Arita fastball that you were trying so hard to copy... is simply never going to be your thing" He stated.
I watched as my new friends dream slowly crashed on him and couldn't help but let my anger flare.
"That's not fair! You don't know! how could you be so ridiculous?!" Nagisa glared at the ground.
My eyes widened and I turned to the blue hair boy before turning to Koro-sensei myself.
"Look Nagisa don't worry about it-"
"No Sugino. He's right. You cant go crushing other people dreams like that! " I hissed.
"No I get it. Why bother we are just E-class right? We are just a bunch of losers and lost causes!! " Nagisa screamed.
"You misunderstand me. I base this entirely on first hand experience. First through 8th hand experience!!" He laughed pulling out a newspaper to reveal a photo of the famous baseball player being held up my his tentacles.
My eyes widened and I backed up slightly.
"EH?" We all exclaimed.
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!!" Sugino and Nagisa screamed.
Suddenly I couldn't help but giggle.
"Let me guess you got his autograph too?" I teased crossing my arms.
"Actually I did!" He grinned pulling out a piece of paper that said 'Keep your tentacles to yourself! Arita'
Now I was laughing so hard I was rolling around clutching my stomach.
"You actually asked him for an autograph after you assaulted him!" Nagisa scolded.
He began crying and nodded dramatically.
"Unbelievable right?"
"He's right though. Some of us are born with talent some of us not so much" Sugino sighed pulling me up from the ground as I ceased my laughing.
"Hey that's not true!" I protested when suddenly Koro-sensei grabbed his arm.
"She's right talent is relevant. Arita's wrist and elbows aren't as flexible as yours" He explained moving Sugino's wrist.
"Like I said these tentacles don't lie. Give it enough time and practice, you could be just as good of a player! if not better! and besides why settle for being an imitation? so next time try assassinating me with your own style" Koro-sensei smiled before leaving.
"See just cause we are in E-class does not mean that we cant amount to anything. Did you hear Koro-sensei! You could be better than Sugino!" I smiled placing my hands on my hips turning to the boy.
"More flexible huh? I never realized.. How about that! You know your starting to grow on me Kimiko" He smiled pulling me into a hug.
My eyes widened and I tensed under his human contact but slowly smiled and melted into the hug.
"T-Thanks" I laughed before pulling away.
"H-Hey do you mind helping me practice after school?" He asked blushing slightly.
"Oh.. i Uh-"
"I mean you don't have to if you don't want to but I saw how fast you were yesterday and thought maybe you could be a good catcher" he laughed scratching the back of his neck in embarrassment.
My eyes widened and I smiled letting out a small hum.
"Of course"
