Nino ran back to his room and dug under his pillow. When Aiba had become head boy he had promised to stop pulling pranks, he had even handed in most of his stuff, but that bitch had done something to upset his friend there was no way he was going to let her get away with it. Under his pillow there was still a box of itching powder and a bottle of one drop chilli juice. He stuck them in his bag and then quickly ran to the food hall again. Instead of going into the dining room he looked around carefully before slipping unnoticed into the kitchen. It wasn’t hard to spot which cup was hers or which breakfast since it was clearly marked with her name, he looked around a bit before putting four drops on everything on her plate, before sneaking up to her cardigan and sprinkling as much itching powder as he could over it before running out of the kitchen sticking the items in his bag and heading into the food hall, Aiba was predictably at Sakurai’s table but he wasn’t sure if that was by accident or design. He tried to keep his face normal as he sat down but from the way Aiba was looking at him he could tell he failed badly but he became more distracted by the strange colour in Jun’s face and he asked softly

“Jun, are you okay?” When he didn’t get a response he brain turned dark and he immediately leapt to conclusions “Has somebo-…”

“Yes, I’m fine” Jun nodded not looking at him and Nino was worried by the way his face seemed to get even redder and he was positive that Aiba let out a giggle while grinning at them stupidly, and Nino could tell that he was itching to say something about Him and Jun being ‘cute’ or ‘sweet’ and instead of pushing anything he turned his attention to breakfast. They didn’t talk much and although they had arrived late they were three of the first to leave and Nino was glad of that, not really wanting Aiba to see the prank he had pulled. It was too late just as they were heading out of the food hall to get to class there was a loud scream from the kitchen. Almost everybody rushed forwards to see what was going on pushing the three roommates with them and Nino had to stop himself letting out a loud howl of laughter when he saw her head under the tab while scratching at her back like a gorilla. Obviously he didn’t manage to completely hide his enjoyment at the situation because quickly he found his arm being grabbed along with Jun’s and the Aiba was pulling them into a secluded corridor.

“Did you do that?” Aiba asked seriously and Nino batted his eye lashes and tried to stop the smirk as he asked innocently

“What?”

“You did! Nino!” Aiba gasped and Nino rolled his eyes, wondering why he was being so dramatic about this, it wasn’t as if she didn’t deserve for whatever she had done to make Aiba so upset

“It was only chilly and itching powder… I don’t know what she did but she upset you, nobody gets away with that” He shrugged grumpily, sometimes it was hard to not show that you cared about someone one, he thought and when Aiba folded his arms over his chest to stop himself from hugging him Nino knew that he was grateful

“Nino… If you get caught…” Aiba murmured worry etched into his voice and Nino was about to reassure him but to his amazement Jun go in first.

“I’ll just say I’ve been with him the whole time” Jun said in a rush, standing so close to Nino, Nino could feel him pressed up against him and as much as he didn’t want Jun to get involved but he had to admit that having an alibi would be nice and the strange confidence that was suddenly in Jun’s voice was good and suited him “Nino was right, she did that on purpose, I saw her grinning when she looked away… She deserved it…”

Nino smiled at Jun as Aiba rolled his eyes, and Nino could easily guess his train of thought Aiba was head boy, and he really should report.

“Okay, but just this onetime” Aiba mumbled finally after looking around for the other residents and Nino gave a grin patting his shoulder

“Unless she does it again” He agreed and Aiba stared at him wordlessly his mouth open as he tried to process what Nino had said and he was still speechless until the bell rang for class. Nino grabbed his arms and pulled him and Jun to class.

They made it to their seats before most of the other students and Jun sat in between them looking around nervously Nino flashed him a smile and then stroked his leg reassuringly. As the class started filling up, tried not to notice that most of the students were talking about Umeda and doing impressions of her that made her look like a lot like a monkey. He could tell Aiba was hiding a laugh behind his book but he was more worried that Jun was looking even more scared and nervous as they waited for the teacher and quickly grabbed his hand and declared a ‘Thumb war’. They played for a awhile, long than was needed but Nino couldn’t help it loving the warm hand against his. The class got to their feet as Sakurai entered the room and after the polite greeting the teacher allowed them to sit down before saying slowly and carefully,

“There is only one day left until your bonus homework is due, I hope that you all have taken the time to think carefully of your actions, those of you that haven’t done it yet may I suggest you forgo your free time this evening or you will lose out on your free time on Sunday”

Jun and Nino had no idea what the teacher was going on about as they just looked at each other and shrugged. The rest of the other resident gave whines and sighs including Aiba who seemed panicked

The bell sounded for lunch and Aiba very slowly got to his feet, not really wanting to deal with Umeda again, even if Nino and Jun were with him. He shuffled towards the door but Sakurai called out to stop him leaving

“Aiba-kun stay behind” He said “Ninomiya-kun and Matsumoto-kun if you would perhaps fetch some food and drink for both me and Aiba-kun too we can eat here in the classroom…”

“Yes sensei” Nino nodded with a puzzled frown as he pulled Jun out of the classroom. They were silent as they headed to the lunch room but their knuckles were brushing together and Nino decided that the jolts of electricity that were running up his arm were better than a few words. The lunch lady was looking even bitterer than ever as she served them a lunchbox style meal each “We need four… One for Masa and the other is for Sakurai-sensei…”

“Well where are they?” She asked her eyes darting around and narrowing quickly. Nino clenched his fists tightly wondering what the hell her problem was with his friend. Aiba was liked by everyone… Even the people that didn’t like him would go ‘but he’s sweet’ so what the hell was her problem?

“They’re in the classroom, we’re talking about the trip” He answered assuming that was what Sakurai wanted to see them about, her eyes and mouth tightened even further as she slammed two more of the lunches down in front of them and Nino picked them up deciding that he was going to have to step up his game to protect Aiba and get her out of here.

“What are you planning?” Jun asked in a shaky whisper stroking his hand as they left the lunch room. “I want to help…”

“Jun… I don’t know yet… But when I do I’ll tell you…” Nino promised with a smile and Jun nodded his own smile coming to his face again as they entered the classroom puzzled about the sounds of chairs scraping against the wooden floor and the strange expression that was in Aiba’s face.
