"Everyone, can you gather around for a second?"
"(L/N)-sensei!"
The kids immediately ran towards me excitedly as I held the other hand of this new kid
"Sensei, who is he?" They asked confusedly
I crouched down to their eye level, and introduced him "this is Hirakawa Daichi, he will be staying in this day care for few months only. But I want everyone to be good to him. Daichi-kun, introduce yourself"
"H-Hirakawa Daichi. N-nice to meet you" his voice was little but I could see that he did his best to speak up
"Now, everyone, be good to him, okay?" I told them and they all called him and immediately asked him to play with them
"(L/N)" I turned around and bowed down towards the head teacher "I want you to meet someone. Can you go to my office after putting Daichi's registration on the system?"
"Yes sure" I answered and got Daichi's birth certificate from her
I went to the computer and inputed Daichi-kun's registration. However, I was surprised, since there was only his mother in his registration.
I immediately input his data and went to the head teacher's office.
"Head teacher," I knocked and opened the door slightly "It's me (L/N) (F/N), I apologize for coming late"
"Ah come in," she said and it was then I noticed another person inside. I didn't recognize him, I personally didn't know him
He bowed down as he took off his top-knot hat and greeted me
"Hello" I greeted back and I felt like I heard his voice somewhere. I stood next to him and faced the head teacher.
"I want you to meet Hirakawa Daisuke-san. He is Daichi's guardian"
"Nice to meet you. I'm Hirakawa Daisuke" he introduced himself and extended his hand. I was taken aback since the guardians or parents that I met so far didn't even bother to smile, nor greet me since they were all busy and needed to leave. I looked at him and he was smiling brightly
I took his hand and smiled back "Nice to meet you. I'm (L/N) (F/N)."
"Hirakawa-san, I'll let her take care of Daichi-kun. So don't worry. Daichi-kun is safe here" The head teacher told him and I could see the worried expression from him
"Hirakawa-san, please erase the frown expression from your face. You'll easily get old if you do that" I jokingly told him and grinned as I made a peace sign "Leave him to me."
"Thank you very much. I'm really worried about Daichi-kun since he is always with his mom. But since my sister needed to go to America, I needed to look after Daichi-kun for the meantime."
This voice? I knew I heard this before. I was sure of it.
"Hmmmmm"
"...-sensei?"
"Hmmmmm, where did I?"
"(L/N)-sensei...?!"
"Sensei?" Somehow it sounded similar. "Aaaahhhh!"
"(L/N)-sensei?!"
"Hirakawa-san!" I excitedly looked at him and grinned "you are Tanaka's brother, right?!"
"T-tanaka's brother?" I nodded but he tilted his head "Tanaka's brother?"
I folded my arms and tilted my head left and right "hmmmm, what was that again? Tanaka, Tanaka... Ahh! Tanaka Kou's brother! Ao haru ride!"
He chuckled and it was really the same! "Yes, I voiced Tanaka Kou's brother." He smiled and he used his voiced the same in Ao Haru Ride
I excitedly grinned and looked at the head teacher who was shaking her head "you really like teachers, I mean you are their fan"
"Of course. I am a full pledge teacher and so I respect teachers, even though they are anime or in manga or in drama. You know Yankumi, Tanaka-sensei, those teachers."
"Don't mind her, Hirakawa-san. She is a fan of shoujo manga with teachers on it. That is why she became like this" head teacher said and I heard Hirakawa-san chuckled
I pouted my lips and crossed my arms "that's not it. I really like children. They wanted me to do something else, but I knew it, my passion in teaching is more important" I laughed and made a peace sign "ah, Hirakawa-san you can stay and watch Daichi-kun if you have a free time. You can also help in taking care of the kids."
"Eh, I can also help?" Hirakawa-san asked excitedly
"Of course, we really need volunteers here." I answered then looked at the head teacher "right?"
She sighed loudly and looked at Hirakawa-san "well, we have lots of kids here. But we only have few funds to pay for workers so we are looking for volunteers. There are only five workers here, and currently two of them are in vacation"
"I see." He crossed his arms and smiled "then I will gladly accept that offer, and ah, no I'll just leave it to that"
The head teacher told me to lead Hirakawa-san to where Daichi-kun was. He talked to him for a while and left. I see him off and his voice was really soothing
"Thank you Hirakawa-san. It is my first time to meet a guardian like you."
"No it is my pleasure and finally I will not be worry"
"Actually, I even had no courage to talk to the children's guardians and parents since they didn't do as what Hirakawa-san did. That is why, I am thankful for your kind smile."
"You are flattering me (L/N)-sensei but you will surely meet good people in the future"
As he left, a mother came and picked up her son. But as always, other parents and guardians didn't even bother to talk to me, moreover they didn't smile. I knew that they were all tired, but a smile would be nice.
"At least one person is still kind to smile towards me"
~
Days had passed since Daichi-kun came to our day care. And it was surprising, since everyday we were receiving foods and refreshments from unknown sender. Also there were two people who volunteered to help us in the day care.
"I was just away for a month and this happened?!" Satou-kun shouted in surprise. He was a senpai here in work and he just returned from his vacation. "What exactly happened?! Foods and refreshments everyday?! And there are two beautiful ladies who volunteered to help us?! I'll work enthusiastically" he was agitated at first but then his tone at the end became flirty and he again started
"Satou-kun, I'll tell your son about this"
"Don't worry, he said that he wants to have a mother soon since his real one is in heaven already. So he at least wants me to be happy! How about it, do you-"
"Ah, Daichi-kun, Hirakawa-san will arrive soon!" I left him and didn't listen to what he would say next. I just heard him faking sobbed gaining sympathy from the new volunteers
Not long after, Hirakawa-san arrived and he looked so tired, but he was smiling brightly.
"Hirakawa-san, Daichi-kun will be done soon." I greeted him and he nodded "do you want to sit first and rest?"
"Rather than resting, is it fine if I can play with the kids here?" He shyly asked and I giggled from his reaction
"Sure thing. Please follow me" I led Hirakawa-san on the other room where the other children were playing "everyone!" I called them getting their attention "I would like to introduce someone"
They gathered in front of us and I knew that Hirakawa-san was enjoying the view.
"They are so cute!" He mumbled turning red
"This big brother wants to play with you. And for the coming days, he will drop here time to time and play with you. So be nice to him, okay?"
"(L/N)-sensei's boyfriend?" They asked innocently that made me so embarassed
"Ah n-no. Hirakawa Daisuke-san is Daichi-kun's uncle. He likes children, okay?"
"Eh, but-"
"Everyone, please be nice to him" I repeated and they looked at each other then they stuck their tongue out to me, their usual reaction actually
"Stingy! (L/N)-sensei you need to find a husband or you will get old alone!" They shouted and grabbed his hands "let's go Daisuke-niisan, let's leave (L/N)-obaasan"
"Leave me alone" I mumbled to myself and pouted my lips "well then Hirakawa-san, I'll call you when Daichi-kun is done"
"Thank you, (L/N)-sensei" his smile was really gentle that was why I couldn't help but smile back.
"Who was that?" Satou-kun confusedly asked when I got out of the room
"Daichi-kun's uncle" I answered and smiled as I watched him enjoying his time with the kids "he is so kind that I couldn't help but be thankful that I met a person like him"
"I see, I see. So this is the start of (F/N)-chan's love story. As your senpai, no, as your older brother and a person who had an experience with love," he put his arm around my shoulder and grinned with his thumbs up "I will support you and you should go all the way"
"Satou-kun, if you don't move in 1.2 seconds, you will receive (F/N)-chan's martial arts attack"
And as the voiced said, I did what she said. As a person who knew martial arts, I grabbed his hand and pushed him down. But reality strike me back and excitedly looked up
"Chelia! You also return!"
"I never expected to see Hirakawa Daisuke here" she said in monotone voice and I chuckled as I noticed her taking pictures of him "not yet. I need to talk to him and see his smiling face. And also, shake his hand again. I attended his fan meeting event recently, but it's still not enough"
I forgot, this girl here is a closet otaku. But you wouldn't know that she was because of the way she speaks and she had an emotionless expression.
"As always you are a weird Otaku, Chelia-chan"
Chelia walked towards us and she looked down to Satou-kun. In our surprise, she smirked and stepped on his face
"Ch-chelia-chan!"
"S & M!" We turned around and Hirakawa-san was there with the kids
"There, there. Kids shouldn't know those words and also don't do that okay?" Hirakawa-san chuckled
"I'm sorry everyone that your sensei are showing acts like this. But there are times that you need to defend yourself, especially from a loser like Satou-sensei, okay?" Chelia explained still with her monotone voice "it's a pleasure to meet you Hirakawa Daisuke-san"
"Ah, we met recently, right?" Hirakawa-san said and I just stood up freeing Satou-kun. However, I realized that Chelia remained silenced as she looked at Hirakawa-san
"Hirakawa-san, these are Satou Tomoe and Kazuhiko Chelia. They are also working here." I said and he bowed down
"It's nice to meet you. I'm Hirakawa Daisuke"
Satou-kun immediately went to Hirakawa-san and they easily became close.
"Then I'll go get Daichi-kun" I excused myself but somehow I made a glimpsed to Chelia and she was staring at Hirakawa-san. I wonder why.
"(L/N)-sensei!" The other kids from the other room excitedly called me
"Minako-san, Yuri-san, thank you for volunteering. Daichi-kun's guardian is already here"
"Ah, Hirakawa-san is already here?" The two of them curiously asked "we need to greet him then"
"You guys know Hirakawa-san?"
They looked at each other and smiled
Minako-san "please keep this as a secret, but actually Hirakawa-san was the one who told us about this since we are looking for volunteer works. Also, he is the one sending those foods and refreshments"
"Eh? Hirakawa-san did?"
Yuri-san chuckled and nodded "he said that he felt undescribable feelings when he talked to you. But please keep this as a secret, since Hirakawa-san will get embarassed if he finds out that you already knew about it"
"(L/N)-sensei, I'm done with my activity!" Daichi-kun ran towards me and showed the tower he did using popsicle sticks.
"Ah, very creative! This is Tokyo Tower, right?" He nodded in response as I nuzzled his hair "then, better to show this to your uncle then to your mother when she returned home, okay?" He again nodded and I smiled "let's go, your uncle is already here"
I followed him behind and he was carefully holding his Tower. Satou-kun and Chelia took over the Children as Hirakawa-san waited for Daichi-kun
"Dai-san! Dai-san!" He shouted and showed what he did to him. Hirakawa-san excitedly approached him. He crouched down and got the popsicle tower from Daichi.
"Let's display this in my place for the meantime and let's show it to your mother, okay?"
If I didn't know that they were uncle and nephew, I would think that they were father and son.
As I send the two off, a mother arrived agitatedly to my surprised.
"You, are you working here?!" She shouted that caught my attention.
"I am" I answered and she looked at me from head to toe "is there any problem?"
"My daughter has been asking me to cook this food that you served here! Can you refrain from serving unnecessary foods-"
"Mama! Don't shout at (L/N)-sensei! It is not her fault! It was me who wanted to eat those!" Her daughter ran stopping her mother
"That's why I'm asking them not to serve it here!" She shouted to her daughter and her daughter was on verge in crying
I felt bad since Hirakawa-san was present, and he was the one sending those foods she was saying
"Mai-chan," I called her daughter and smiled "don't ask your mother to cook it for you. She is tired from work so it's impossible for her to cook those. So since there are lots, you can eat here as many as you can"
"It's not that I can't cook it-"
"Uhm" Hirakawa-san approached us and he was smiling, but I felt that he was worried "I think your daughter just wanted to eat something you personally cooked. Children want to have the attention of their parents that they don't see much."
Mai's mother remained silence and turned her eyes away "do what you want. Let's go Mai!"
"See you tomorrow Mai-chan!" I waved at her and even Daichi-kun waved at her
"Well then, sensei, we'll be leaving"
"Hirakawa-san, thank you very much. Really, thank you!" I grinned and he made a big wide smile as he bowed down and left.
He is really kind and that smile, I always want to see it. I clenched my chest as I was having hard time breathing.
"Hirakawa-san is one of those seiyuu that is very kind." I jolted as Chelia stood next to me "I was surprised that he remembered me. His smile and kindess is very geniune. But, that smile, it is my first time seeing that. You, what did you do to Hirakawa-san?"
"What did I do?" I asked her confusedly and she folded her arms
"Or should I ask differently? You, what did Hirakawa-san did to you? That you are having a hard time breathing, and that your face is turning into red as apple? You obviously liking him not as a seiyuu, but as a man"
My eyes widened from what she said. Eh? Me? I like Hirakawa-san?! But I just met him recently!
