"Oh. Most of our classes are together." Tendo leans over peering at your schedule.

         "Yeah. By the way, can I ask what-" He puts a finger to your lips.

         "Nope." He smiles tilting his head. "I think our class is this way." He then points down the hall. He was quick to avoid the question, but you didn't mind, holding onto the back of his shirt as you peer around. Some students shoot you some odd gazes. 

          'They must have noses like Osamu and Atsumu.' You think, dropping your gaze. 'Probably don't know what to think of me…' You figure as Tendo reaches the classroom and peers in. 

          "Oh. Creepy science room." Tendo smiles and you peer in too, creeping vines cover the walls and the teacher's desk is full of beakers.

          "You're kind of blocking the way.." Someone comments and you both look back to see a guy with slitted eyes pairing at you with a curious head tilt. His black snake tongue flickers out at you both before he blinks straightening up. "That's an odd combo… Be careful making new friends." He tells you brushing past and going into class.

          "Snake…" You murmur.

          "You don't like them?" Tendo asks carefully, guiding you in and to a seat in the back row.

          "I like them. I love finding them in the garden… I just wasn't expecting… That." You weren't sure how to say it without it sounding unintentionally rude. "I really need to do more research…"

         "That's okay. I can help you with it." He takes a book from his backpack. "I have a species book. He opens it up and you scoot closer to him, peering at the book. He smiles a bit at that before pausing and covering his mouth.

         "Hm? You okay?" You glance at him for the sudden movement. 

         "Mhm… So he's probably a Naga or some variation." He keeps his mouth covered as he opens the book to the page. "See? There's a lot of variations. Rattlesnake, viper, King snake… Oh… There's even a dragon viper…" He murmurs.

         "Whoa. That one looks awesome!" You whisper. He smiles widely, dropping his hand as he watches you in amusement.

         "Aw… ___…" He chuckles.

         "What? Oh! Your teeth! They look like a shark's suddenly." You gasp in surprise. He pauses and covers his mouth again with a nervous chuckle.

         "Yeah. Sorry. They've never done that before." He says lightly.

         "Alright let's begin class. Focus unless you wanna die on your first day~" A tall woman sings as she enters class. You and Tendo blink, putting up the book to pay attention. 

          It doesn't take long for you to figure out that Ms. Bomba is a mad scientist. She was also the one that gassed the entire room forcing everyone into the hall.

         "Hehehe. I like her, she's funny." You giggle in amusement as Tendo joins you away from the students.

          "She seemed as surprised as us when it started smoking like that." He chuckles lightly.

          "Hey." You both look at the naga as he leans toward you. "You're really small huh? And your scent is like a fairy's… Are you a hybrid?"

           "Um… I'm a halfling…" You murmur unsure.

           "Ah. I get it. Fairy halflings are rare though so I was curious. I'm Daishou by the way." He introduces himself.

           "___. Nice to meet you… You're a naga, right?" You ask.

          "Mhm. I'm a bit of a hybrid myself." He nods thoughtfully.

          "Really?" You relax a bit.

          "Yeah… But you know… I gotta ask…" He tilts his head, peering at Tendo. The redhead straightens, frowning lightly, seeming uneasy. "Ah, nevermind, it's not my place." He looks away as a Dean approaches to scold Ms.Bomba. 

          Then the bell rings to head to the next class. "Are you okay Tendo? Are you still tired?" You ask him in concern. He seemed really quiet today, like he was forcing himself to communicate with you.

          "Yeah… I'm not myself today huh?" He rubs his neck. 

          "Listen. I know we don't know each other very well, but I would like to help you." You tell him. He pauses blinking at you before smiling slightly. 

           "Okay." He seemed doubtful, but you didn't know how to convince him, so you just grip his hoodie sleeve, continuing for your next class together. He rubs his cheek, peering at you and wincing slightly, covering his mouth again. 

           Your next class is a math one, you take a corner with Tendo again, but this time two girls join you. 

           "Hi. I'm Mika, I hope it's okay if we sit here." She greats softly. 

           "I'm Kiyoko." The other girl dips her head.

           "I'm ___, and this is Tendo. You can sit with us." You tell them. Mika and Kiyoko look at Tendo as they sit with you.

           "So… Do you feel okay? Are you blacking out at all?" Mika asks you carefully.

          "I'm fine..? Why? Do I look ill?" You touch your cheeks as Tendo sighs heavily.

          "They're asking because they think I'm tricking you to be near me." He tells you. You look at him confused.

           "Why would you need to trick me?" You frown. He meets your gaze and closes his eyes.

           "Because I'm an Imp." He confesses. Your heart drops at that, remembering his teeth earlier.

           'Was he about to bite me?' You wonder, tensing slightly. His eyes open and he meets your gaze seeming so sad. 

           "Sorry. I knew this wouldn't work but you were always nice to me so…" He starts to get up but you grab his sleeve again.

           "I'm scared of imps." You say, and he ducks his head. "But I'm not afraid of Tendo." He pauses and you look at the surprised girls. "Before I found out I had fairy blood. I wanted to be Tendo's friend more than anything so…" You frown and look to Tendo to meet his surprised gaze. "I'll try to accept it… but I can't guarantee my instincts will be okay with it." 

           "Wow…" Mika murmurs.

           "Ah… Thanks ___. You're really brave." Tendo finally relaxes with a smile, sitting back down. 

           "Heh. I just don't want to see you alone again. You're really fun." You smile back.

           "You're so nice." Mika breathes. "Let's be girlfriends! I'll walk you home and we can study together! And paint each other's nails!" She gushes.

          "Easy Mika." Kiyoko giggles. "Are you joining any clubs ___?"

          "Mm… if I could join two… I want to be in the baking club and the garden club." You tell them.

          "I was thinking garden club actually." Kiyoko smiles.

          "I was going to try baking." Mika giggles. 

          "How about you Tendo?" You look at him. 

          "Both sound good…" He smiles lightly.

          "Alright. Let's begin." The teacher interrupts. 

          "Lunch time." You hum, heading to the cafeteria with Tendo and the girls. You enter and are soon greeted by the twins, who swiftly fix Tendo's with hard gazes.

          "Why are you so close to ___? Imp." Atsumu questions lowly, baring a fang to him. Tendo shifts in surprise, opening his mouth to speak but you swiftly move between them.

          "It's okay. Tendo's a friend." You say quickly. 

          "Eh? Did ya hit your head after we separated? You know what imps do to cute little fairies like you." Atsumu scolds, his fox features starting to show themselves. 

          "I'm not just a fairy. We knew each other for this!" You back up slightly, feeling Tendo's warmth behind you.

          "... Fine." Atsumu concedes unhappily looking at Tendo. "Harm a single hair on her and I'll cook you up for dinner." He snarls.

         "You mean burn him to a crisp like you do everything else you cook." Osamu deadpans. Atsumu punches him at that and they start to wrestle.

          "Don't worry." Tendo says, regaining their attention as his arms come around you, making you tense instinctively as he tilts his head on yours. "I don't ever want to hurt ___.” He smiles. You swallow, pushing down your fairy instincts to escape and flee. 

          "See? I'm fine." You manage. 

          "... Don't force yourself ___.” Osamu says.

          "Aww. That's so sweet. Let's go eat!" Mika chimes taking your hand and pulling you away from Tendo, leading the way to a table to drop off your things. The girls and twins introduce themselves to each other.

         "___ I made us bentos." Osamu tells you, setting one in front of you.

         "Ah thanks Osamu." You smile. 

         "... What about me?" Atsumu frowns heavily.

         "You said you couldn't wait to try the food here so…" Osamu waves him off.

         "Fine." Atsumu scoffs heading off. The girls go to get a tray. 

         "Aren't you going to get something Tendo?" You ask him. He pauses, shifting slightly. 

         "That's okay. I'm not very hungry-" His stomach calls out his lie and he frowns. 

         "No money huh?" Osamu guesses and Tendo drops his gaze. 

         "That's okay. I'll share with you." You scoot closer to him, even though it causes some goosebumps on your skin. He blinks at you in surprise as you offer him a bite with a smile.

          "Thanks." He smiles in return before taking a bite. "It's good."

          "I'll share with you too then. Here ___ I brought extra chopsticks." Osamu slides them over to you. 

         "Don't worry too much about me. I've never had much of an appetite anyway." Tendo assures.

         "Alright." Osamu tilts his head. You smile a bit at the kitsune, you knew him well enough by now to know he was going to start bringing extra food for the redhead now. 

          "Osamu is a good cook you know?" You tell Tendo happily.

          "I can tell." He gives you a small smile. 

          "So we'll head to the club sign ups after our last class okay?" Osamu tells you.

          "Okay. Sounds fun." You chime.

          The others return to eat lunch, Atsumu glancing between you and Tendo seeming more annoyed now. Tendo finishes eating first and leans on you as you finish off the bento.

          "Thank you for the meal!" Tendo chimes, sounding like himself again. 

          "Glad you enjoyed it." Osamu nods.

          "I did too. Tomorrow will be my turn." You hum.

          "Ooo!" Tendo lights up at that. 

          "You don't have to." Osamu assures. 

          "Ah but I want to see which one Tendo likes more." You smirk. Osamu's brow twitches and he leans forward with a smirk.

          "Oh? Is that a challenge?" Osamu rumbles.

          "Wait… Guys don't, you always go overboard." Atsumu sweatdrops.

          "We shouldn't rely on one vote though… Kiyoko, Mika, could you help us?" Osamu requests.

          "Ah… Sure." Kiyoko tilts her head lost.

          "Sounds interesting! Count me in!" Mika beams.

          "Oh no…" Atsumu puts a hand over his face.

          "Then it's settled 'Samu." You beam.

          "I'm winning this time ___.” Osamu chuckles back. 

          After lunch you head to your next class with Mika, since you were in it together. You both turn the corner and pause as a group of girls block the hall all gushing over a cute guy with brown hair and eyes.

        "Huh?" You tilt your head.

        "Smells like a demon." Mika sniffs.

        "A demon? Do they attract others like that?" You whisper.

        "Not normally…" Mika breathes. The demon suddenly peers at you both and offers a smile. "Aw." Mika suddenly squeaks but you grab her arm, snapping her out of it. "Hm?" She blinks at you.

        "What are you doing?" You ask her. 

        "Hm? What am I doing?" She just seems confused. You pause and shift at that, peering at the demon uneasily as he raises an eyebrow at you.

         "Nevermind, let's go sit down." You take her hand and move past the group, avoiding the demon's gaze. 'He's kinda scary.' You frown finding a seat with Mika. 

         "Thanks." Mika murmurs to you. 

         "Hm? Oh, no problem. It just seemed weird." You whisper. 

         Everyone else soon files into the class, the demon sitting behind you. You and Mika exchange a glance at that. That didn't feel good…

         After a while Ms. Lana pauses her lesson, "Oh no… I forgot my fertilizer for my plants. Can a pair go get it from the third greenhouse?" She requests. You and a few others raise a hand. "You two." She points to you and just behind you.

        You get up and go to get the keys from her before going to the door and glancing back to make sure the other person was keeping up, freezing when the demon smiles at you. 

        "I believe the greenhouse is that way." He smiles with a soft tone, before taking the lead. You trail after him briskly, watching his back warily. "So… What are you? If you don't mind me asking." He asks.

         "I'm uh… half fairy…" You murmur and he stops suddenly, making you walk into you.

         "What?? But… Fairies don't…" He turns to you full of curiosity, pinching and stretching your face. "What else?" 

         "H-Human?" You manage, blushing lightly.

         "Unheard of! Fairies can't grow or anything! They don't even mate and reproduce to have children!" He picks you up. "You're so light too!" He marvels tossing you slightly. 

          "Um… Please put me down." You request. 

          "Sorry. Got carried away." He chuckles in amusement, setting you down. He leans forward, coming nose to nose with you, a heart shape starting to sweep from side to side behind his shoulders. "So how did you come about?" 

          "That's um… Personal." You manage watching the heart. What is that? Black and baby blue. You wanted to touch it.

          "Right right… You're really cute though," He cups your face. "Soft skin too, you probably bleed easily huh?" His eyes glow a light blue. You blink at him before reaching and catching the heart. 

           "I'm sorry what?" You ask but he falls to his hands and knees trembling.

           "D-Don't you know it's not nice to grab a demon's tail!" He gasps out shakily. You pause and release it quickly.

           "I am so sorry! I didn't know what it was!" You gasp. "Are you okay?" 

          "Yeah I'm good now. Don't do that again okay?" He suddenly returns to his feet, hiding his tail from sight. "You could get into serious trouble for that." He smiles, seeming really uneasy now.

          "I'm very sorry um…" You blink a few times.

          "My name's Tooru Oikawa." He rumbles, puffing out his chest  a bit. "I guess it would've been polite to ask your name before picking you up and asking personal questions… Sorry about that." He adds rubbing his neck sheepishly.

          "That's okay you were really excited. I'm ___.” You hold out your hand to him. 

          "___? How cute." He shakes your hand. "So you're really not affected by me huh?" His other hand comes over yours, leaning toward you with glowing eyes.

          "Um… No?" You raise an eyebrow.

         "Oh. How interesting-" He suddenly yelps and ducks to the side, holding his neck and looking back.

         "Whatcha doin to my friend, demon?" Atsumu inquires, arching an eyebrow.

         "I was just talking! Where do you get off burning people?" Oikawa snaps.

         "It was just a little contact heat. Looked like you were trying to bite ___. So I gave you a warning." Atsumu smiles, tilting his head. "What? Can't handle the fire demon boy?"

         "It's not my attribute, you wanna fight or something?" Oikawa smiles back, the air crackling between them. You shift before swiftly moving between them.

         "Okay Atsumu you made your point. We gotta hurry so let's stop this here okay?" You manage carefully. He blinks at you before stepping back.

          "You're making some troublesome friends ___… Just watch your back. Demons aren't exactly good friends to keep." Atsumu states walking away calmly.

          "... Your bodyguard is a bit rude." Oikawa comments, leading you on quickly.

          "He's not a bodyguard, he's my neighbor and friend." You frown lightly.

          "Ah. I see… You don't seem bothered by what he said though." He comments.

          "I like to give people a chance before judging them." You respond.

         "A terrible idea honestly. But it's sweet." He pats your head. 

         "I suppose that's true. But I can't help myself." You rub your cheek.

         "Well you are half fairy. They can't help but be so… Sweet and kind and thoughtful…" He leans near you, fangs glinting as his eyes glow again. "And such easy meals for the impure." He whispers. You glance at him, leaning away as he comes closer. 

         "Um. I don't know what you're trying to do but… I'll grab your tail again." You warn lightly and he pauses.

         "Ah. Sorry. I got too indulgent there." He straightens, covering his mouth as you both leave the building, crossing to the greenhouse. You go in, and stop in awe. It was beautiful, flowers of all kinds nestled in their planters, vines reaching over to the walls freely. "Alright, got them-" He turns back to you and stops, blinking at you before chuckling softly. "Oh right. The plant thing." He peers at the flowers. "You probably, never seen some of these before huh?" 

          "No. Never." You shake your head.

          "Thought so. You were raised as a human I take it? I could teach you them. If you join the garden club with me." He smiles cheerfully, tail swishing behind him.

          "I was going to anyway but… I would like that." You smile as you both carry out the requested items. 

          "Alright cool." He rumbles.

          "I didn't take you for a flower guy." You comment.

         "Not really. My mom is great at making potions. And Blanda gives me access to all kinds of flowers. It's the best way to make some money. I'll also be in the magic sports club." He informs lightly.

         "... Magic sports?" You tilt your head.

        "You're kidding… What do you watch at home?" He gaps at you.

        "... Cake wars with Osamu…" You admit.

        "Do me a favor and try to watch the magic sports channel every once and awhile." He hums.

        "Sure. I think I heard Atsumu talk about it before." You nod. "Wonder if he'll let me watch with him."

         "Well if you want someone to watch with… I could invite you over." He smiles lightly.

         "No. I'm pretty sure you were about to take a bite out of me earlier so… That doesn't seem like a good idea." You tell him.

         "Fine… I would've been good though. Let's be friends."

         "Sure."
