For Allen~ And XiuLin

[~Ashton~]

High school is a time for fun, friends, crushes, love, heartbreak, finding ones niche in society, and so much more is it not? Well Young Ashton doesn't seem to think so, he hardly has time for any of that while he is in class. Ever since he transferred into the Academy he found it had to focus, the teacher always seemed to pull his attention away from his studies. Not only is Ashton distracted by his Sensei, could there be more reason being why Ashton could be so attracted to the other? Perhaps there is a supernatural pull between the two? We shall see...

[XiuLin]

Haru was passing out a quick quiz on the material the students should have read over the weekend. He felt Ashton's hand linger on his as he handed him the paper. He moved down the classroom handing them out to other students thinking it was just a slip up from Ashton. But something in the teen's eyes pleaded him not to leave him with distance. He headed up to the front of the class and directed they put their notebooks and textbooks under their desks. "You have twenty minutes beginning now." He said as he whined a kitchen cooking timer. He sat at his desk and pulled out a worn leather binded book and began reading it as the students worked on their pop quiz.

 

Name : Haru. Age : 28.

[~Ashton~]

Ashton tilted his head slightly back, trying to catch even another miniscule second view of the other who's touch had just electrified his own lithe hand. He sighed inwardly to himself as he saw The Sensei's hair bounce a bit with each step he took, only to Ashton, the older mans steps made it seem like he was floating from the ground, gliding along with a regal ease. Shaking his head quickly he withdrew his inappropriate thoughts and brought his attention back to the paper in front of him. Groaning audibly when he saw the equations he clearly didn't know, hearing the wind of the timer caused him to look up once more.Although he immediately regretted it,for his gaze was yet again caught on the Teacher. By the time he composed himself he noted that his time for the test was nearly half way done, chastising himself mentally he set to work.

[XiuLin]

He sighed softly. "Ten minutes remaining class." His velvet smooth voice almost echoed at the silence of the class. He grabbed his own water bottle from under his desk and began drinking from it. He then decided he would grade some homework. He grabbed the stack of turned in homework and began reviewing and marking the point credits for competed work with ease.

[~Ashton~]

Ashton got about half way done with it by the time the timer went off, slamming his head down on the desk in defeat and sighing.Idiot...you idiot, he will see how dumb you are and never even look at you. Lifting his head slowly and locked his eyes back on the teacher who seemed to be finishing up the last few papers he was grading,Ashton sat back and watched as the others hands glided from paper to paper with ease and noiselessly. Waiting for the teacher to rise from his desk and saunter over to collect his disgraceful paper with emending doom.

[XiuLin]

"Mr. Haru?" A needy girl in the front row finially got his attention. He rises from his seat and began picking up the quizes. He stopped by Ashton. "I would like to see you after class." He said then kept going down the row of students grabbing the quizes as the students held them up.

[~Ashton~]

Ashton's breath caught in his throat before the teacher even made it to his desk, sitting rigid as a stone as he watched the other approach him step be step. He wouldn't dare look up as his test was taken, with down cast eyes he simply nodded at the remark and muttered an almost inaudible "Yes, Sir." However dismayed he may have both looked and sounded he couldn't help but thrive as his heart beat sped up, realizing that he would be getting alone time with his sensei! Waiting with anticipation,fear, and excitement for the final bell to ring.The moment it did however he sunk down in his chair as the rest off the class bustled out while stealing a few glances,giggles, and blushes towards the teacher before shutting the door with a thud.Leaving only the two.

[XiuLin]

"Ashton you may step forward now." He had on a serious and stern look on his face. "This is coming on the third week of a new semster of you not turning in your homework. That is unacceptible. Do you not understand mathematics well!?" His voice rises with each sentence unexpectedly making the other wended in fear. He sat back behind his desk after noticing he was gripping the edge of his desk tightly that hosanna nails made marks in the upper wood layer. He sighed. "I am offering you a deal. I will home tutor you out of my house in hopes you will start doing your homework and do better on quizes. All I need is your parents' permission." He said handing the other a premission slip and a letter addressed to Ashton's parents.

[~Ashton~]

Ashtons eyes were trained on the floor, waiting for the other to begin what he would say. The moment he did however the younger boys shoulders noticeably dropped as he stood through the scolding, all but wincing at the stern tone that was brought down on him. Ashton had never been one for yelling, loud voices or even overly joyous ones, he preferred the gentler voices, like such that the teacher usually held when he wasn't scolding a student or in a scornful mood. The moment he heard home tutor however his eyes lit up as his head shot up, now listening intently.

 

I could be in his home, among his thinks, almost like if I were to belong there!

 

He almost would have grinned had the other not still been scolding him, so he remained still a few moments more until he was handed the letter which he took with no hesitation. "Yes, Sir! I will have this signed and returned to you by tomorrow morning!" He grinned sheepishly before bolting out the door, his feet seeming like feathers as he pounded out the hall,down the stairs and out of the building. Racing home as he clung the the permission slip, as though it were his only remaining link to him and his precious teacher.

[XiuLin]

Since it was the end of the school day. He gathered up his belongs and precious leather worn book and put it in his backpack. He left the classroom only after locking the doors. He headed to the parking lot and got into his car. He turned it on and backed out of his parking spot. He began driving home eager to start his alone relaxing time at home.

[~Ashton~]

Ashton dug his key into the lock and flung the door wide, trampling through the hallway and up the stairs. "Mother! Are you home?" His voice was quiet a few octaves higher than it needed to be but that didn't deter the young one as he bound from room to room in excitement. The moment he caught a glimpse of her red scarf he shot towards her. "Mom! I am dumb, I need tutoring! The teacher is going to tutor me but I need your permission first, please sign this." He reached into his pocket, picked up a pen and handed her the slip as well which she laughed heartily and signed obediently. "Alright alright Love, just calm down." He nodded quickly, not really listening and prepared to wait the long hours until school the next day where he could give his teacher the signed slip.

[XiuLin]

Haru drove up into his parking place outside his apartment building. He got out of the care and walked to his door. He unlocked the door and walked in. He took off his shoes and began undressing in his entry way. He threw his sweater vest, tie, and shirt on his coffee table as he sat down after grabbing a chilled white wine bottle from the refridgerator. He poured himself a glass then put the bottle back to be chilled some more. He placed some washed raspberries into the white liquid and began sipping from the glass as he made his way to the living room. He grabbed his backpack and turned on the tv. he pulled out the quizes and began grading them as he was channel surfing.

[~Ashton~]

Ashton bound up the stairs to his room and slipped inside, crawling into his bed and relaxing for the next few glorious minutes before he had to get ready for work. As he lay there he allowed his mind to wonder to the day he transferred to the school. The day had certainly been one he would never forget, nor would he want to.

 

Glancing up at the large, gated building caused him to pale in fear and excitement.Letting out one breath after another to calm himself down as he climbed up the large staircase and first laid eyes on the teacher,that was the day he fell in love. For just a moment he allowed himself to imagine the possibilities, the times they could share. However that was before there was a murder in the school, before someone had ripped a kid to shreds with unnatural strength as the newspapers put it.

 

Sighing to himself as he did so often he threw his legs over the bed and rose up, shuffling over to the drawers and pulling out a black turtle neck and a set of jeans as he always did. Pulling them on and grabbing his car keys, heading down the stairs and out the door with a "Bye Mother!" He would be going straight to school for his shift would not end until the next morning.

[XiuLin]

Haru had drifted off into a light cat nap during the evening news. He woke up with a jump. He was haunted by the usual unusual dreams he had of demons invaiding the human world. He sighed and finished his wine before going to jump in the shower. He washed his body then got out. He was too lazy to make himself a meal. So he went to his room and grabbed a plain white tee shirt, black ripped at the knees jeans, and a gilttered bedazzled leather jacket matched with shiny leather combat boots. He grabbed his spare thick framed "Emo" glasses and put them on. He grabbed his keys and headed out the door.

[~Ashton~]

Ashton leaned back against the counter of the bar, reaching up and ruffling his hair back into a neater yet still messy fashion.Reaching into his jeans pocken and pulling out a pen as he walked to the newest customer, giving her a warm smile and taking down her order of a Sex On the Beach before heading back to prepare it. All the while his mind stayed trained on the idea of being able to spend hours alone with the teacher tomorrow, never had he been more glad to be an idiot! He would make sure to go home during the lunch period tomorrow so he wouldn't smell of booze or smoke in front of the classmates and Haru.

[XiuLin]

Haru drove into a parking lot of the new and happening bar. He managed to get in due to the bounder allowing him in. He went up to the free bar stool and grabbed the drink menu. Unexpectly the bartender that asked what he would like was his own student. He looks up from the menu the emotion of shock spread acrossed his face. "Ashton? What are you doing working here? Your underage." He said to the other.

[~Ashton~]

Ashton had been to stuck in his day dream about tomorrow afternoon to actually look up at the other before he heard his name. Before he looked up though he recognized the smooth, velvety voice. So the moment he heard it his head shot up as his mouth dropped just slightly in shock. "S-sir? I'm allowed to carry the drinks to and from the tables as long as they aren't open and I can take orders as well....what are you doing at a bar?" He couldn't help but inquire of the other as he leaned forward slightly in anticipation of the answer.

[XiuLin]

"For a drink and dinner. I would like a light lager off draft with your cheadder and bacon sliders. I heard they are to die for." He told the other as he crossed his legs under the over hang of the bar counter.

[~Ashton~]

Ashton nodded lightly as he pulled out a notepad, writing the order down in quick scribbled hand writing and nodding. "Alright Sir, I will put the order in and be back with your drink. Excuse me." His voice seemed to be no more than a light whisper as he turned and took a bottle of draft after hanging the order check in the cooks little slide windowed door. Making his way back to the table and setting the drink down "There you are, is there anything else?"

[XiuLin]

"No, this is all I need. Thank you." He began drinking the beer as he carefully watched Ashton work. Now he knew the reason behind the other not doing his homework. Bartender's usually had long nights and would not get off their shifts until the early morning hours. He sighed and grabbed the ashtray from the counter and popped a pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket. He began smoking and drinking his beer.

[~Ashton~]

Ashton gave the other a polite nod and continued his work, thinking of how the two would actually act tomorrow when they were alone. He knew Haru would be the same as always, he was just hoping he wouldn't be to shy to ask the questions he knew he needed to ask. If he didn't improve at least a bit then the teacher would see no reason to continue the lessons and Ashton would be forced out of his only alone time he would have with the other,and he certain;y did not intend to let that happen he concluded as he brought out the sliders.

[XiuLin]

Haru watched as Ashton placed the plate in front of him. By then he finished smoking. He began eatting, keeping his mouth closed as he chewed. They were amazing mini burgers almost as fine of a quality as many burger joints around town. He quickly ate them and motioned for Ashton as he placed his credit card on the bar counter. "You accept credit cards, right Ashton?" He asked.

[~Ashton~]

Ashton gave him a light smile "Enjoy your food, i'll be around if you need anything just give me a shout Sir." Turning on his heels he went back to the counter, ringing up a few customers and glancing over at his Teacher every so often. Just so he could watch the beautiful man eat the simple burgers, he looked a bit about of place.As though he were a regal prince, sitting in a common bar with mere country folk. Snapping himself from his thoughts as he made his way back to Haru's table. Nodding lightly "Of course, We take all major credit cards" He spoke as he ran the car through the machine.

[XiuLin]

He took his card back and put it into his wallet. "Thanks for the food." He said getting up. "Ashton, please do your homework tonight. It counts for most of your grade." He reminded the other. "Have a good night." He excused himself and headed for the door. "See toying class tomorrow and you better not fall asleep or I will mark you tardy." He said smirking michiously. He couldn't understand his own actions towards his student. But it was rather fun to give him a hard time.

[~Ashton~]

Ashton gaped at the other in awe, he had just been day dreaming about him and now he was scolding him! The entire demeanor about the young one changed as he became defiant "I will most definitely not be doing the homework and I will be taking a nice little nap in class!" He muttered, knowing even that he continued to head to his bag and doing his homework, defiantly however doing it none the less.The next morning he trudged to class and set the signature on the teachers desk, avoiding his eye all the while. Shuffling back to his seat and laying his head on the cool desk, waiting for the morning bell to ring for class to begin.
