"Speak of the devil, we were just talking about you ya bloody wolf! Anyways, why'd you go and befriend that twat, you should have crushed him instead!" B1,
"Yeah, as a supposed alpha, you should have squashed him like the insignificant bug he is" B2
"Ay guys shut up, I think all of that was a ruse? How much you bet Derek's got plans for him, after all, don't forget what he did to Derek at his girls' party, ain't that right homie" B3
Looking to Derek, they expected him to respond, but he just looked to them with his hands in his jeans and he sighed.
"You all talk too much, he's old news and that's it" Derek
"Huh?" B1, B2, B3.
"You got to be kidding me, you're not actually going to forgive that shit head are you?" B2
"Bro, he basically rubbed his balls in your face, don't you think he needs to be taught a lesson?" B1
"Yeah, and don't forget, the way he cursed your girl and was hella disrespectful to the both of yall and also your pack, don't forget those others that were with you man!" 2
"Bro, we're not beastmen, no offense but we don't really know how your mind works, so answer me this, are you really going to forgive him? Bro that's not something you can just wipe away? Just say the word and I'll go with you to kick his ass anytime" B3
"Just forget about it, he isn't a problem anymore, I handled it" Derek
"No, what your doing is acting like a Lil bitch! I'm not like your pack, I'm gonna be brutally honest to you, and I was there when this happened, and I didn't know if I wanted to slap him or you? So wake the fuck up! He's not your friend! He's just the little bitch who YOU allowed to step all over you. Especially when you're guard's down, just like at your girls' party" B3
"So are you really going to let it go and just call him your friend, especially when he never even apologize when he was at fault for all of this!" B3
"He's neither my friend nor my enemy, my interest is only for my pack, as their alpha I-" Derek
"That sounds like a lot of bitch talk! Who the fuck even are you, the Derek I know isn't some pushover, where the hell is your pride as a man... Or did you lose your balls when he knocked you out and yelled at your girl?!" B2
"I'm agreeing with him, he's nothing, so what's this bull shit about what's best for your pack?" B3
"I have no regrets" Derek
Thinking back to the shadow dungeon, everything he said and did, he didn't regret it and if he had to, he'd do it again. He was a proud wolfman and even though he got his ass mauled, he learned something from it.
Looking at the 3 of them, his expression was serious and menacing, the 3 of them saw it and they saw he was ticked off.
"The only reason I forgive him was that my girl begged me to since he's her best friend, I could care less about the twat, I'm just doing what I think is best" Derek
"Hell if that fucking monster does something like that again I'll kill him. Got it fuck tards" Derek
"Now that's our Derek" B3
"Yep, sure is" the other agreed.
Walking away the other wished him farewell as he was heading to his second class, but on his way there he sighed.
(He's talking to himself in this next part)
"Hiro Natsu, who the hell are you? Who are you really? Those red eyes weren't natural, those eyes reminded me of an evil creature which made me want to join the slayers, the demon Bulezau"
*Shiver*
"Hiro, I'll leave you alone as long as you stay the hell away from me and my family, if you do that I'll have no more problems with you and I'll even void what you did"
He hated Hiro and lied to the others including Hiro, Remi, his own pack, he wasn't just going to be his friend after all that.
He was a damn wolf and he did everything with his honor and pride in hand, he was smart but not an idiot. He had his reasons for lying and pretending,
And that's because he a God damn genius, but during heated situations, his intelligence is put aside and he wings it.
The problem with Derek is exactly the same problem with all wolves, they're all like Vin Diesel, they're all about family and protecting each other, and well his family is his pack, so it's natural to want to protect them from someone he clearly sees as a threat,
And now that he knows Hiro is a slayer, that made him contemplate that Hiro's been manipulating and fooling everyone this entire time, he underestimated Hiro, and this ment that Hiro was potentially the greatest threat to his pack since Hiro knew how to get to him easily.
This constant fear drove him to try to make peace and act apologetic. But in reality, he wasn't.
And he was still ready to fight Hiro at any moment, but since that day, he was going to change his tactics and he even kept the idea of murder. He was willing to do anything against that human he saw as a monster.
Okay, but for real, he was overestimating Hiro too much, he just overthought it so much, especially since he took in those shadows and their voices filled his head for a while before being killed by purge.
Fear changes people even if it's not too serious.
.....
Meanwhile, as he was sitting in class, Hestia was next to him catching him up, she had been this entire time as the teacher walked in class and said, "fuck it, I'm taking a nap, do whatever" he was currently asleep with his head on the desk.
Hestia's face was burning as red as a cheery, she was confuzzled by him and she re-played that memory of when he kissed and teased her.
He was just completely throwing her off.
There was a whole bunch of sexual tension between them and all his actions threw her off, 1stit was at lunch when she had something on her face and he wiped it off her, acting like a complete idiot and smiling like a fool,
Then there was when she was sharing a textbook with him, she went over a few things to help him understand and he was getting too close, it was to the point where their shoulders touched and he even went in... But it wasn't what she had expected, he just grabbed her eraser to use since she did something wrong. He was misleading her and giving mixed signals, and again with that idiotic smile, it made her want to hit him... But she couldn't, he was being too... Affable.
And then there was the fact he was acting like a normal person for once, he was asking a tone of questions and getting way too friendly with her, at one point, she swears he was going to make a dominant move on her, like full-on I'm going to take you here and now you slutty bitch~ And she overreacted, but he stayed being affable and in general too much of a non-Hiro that it made him seem weirdly like a Hiro.
(I don't even know what that meant?)
With her looking over at him, she couldn't help but feel the eyes of many girls glair at her, most with envy and that of jealousy.
"I don't know what I would have done without you Hestia, I owe you one"
[Envy Intensifying]
Hiro was apparently on the [marry, fuck, kill - list] of the hot guys in their class, I dont know why it exists, but it does.
And, he's the 3rd most attractive guy in class, but instead of being chosen as the one to be killed off, he was chosen as the one they'd most likely fuck, even some guys joined in on this agreed with the girl, making their reputation amongst the class raise.
[M.F.K list]
Marry - Jose, he got the majority vote as he was friendly to everyone, his reputation around school was the guy liked by all, he even gained the acknowledgment of the deviants and was respected by them. The guy wasn't just hot, but he was like a the school's prince.
Fuck - Hiro, this one is often sticking to himself, he occasionally talks with others and when he does, he's a bit weird, but it's all in fun, he makes them laugh and he bring good moral to as many people when he can. He's not much of a favorite with the guys, that spot goes to Jose, but he's a well-respected person in this class, rumors about him have spread around the school, but it hasn't affected him in the slightest. He's known for his interesting personality especially amongst these thirsty teenager's and that's probably why he got the majority vote to fuck.
Kill: Albert - he got the least amount of votes to kill him, but the other 2 had higher votes and this is where he ended up, he was 2nd in line to be married, but oops, ye ass gonna die... Metaphorically. He's not so sociable, he's anti-social and he really doesn't like to be bothered, but that's because he's just shy, but that's what they like about him, he's very mysterious and it drew them all in, they also respect his space and he was quite admired as he was also a top student, and not just in grades, he was in the top 10 amongst all the guys and a favorite my most of the upperclassmen who were into that mysterious vibe.
Surprisingly, Jose wasn't in the top 10, he's was more like in the top 25, this was mainly a girl's choice, so they compared looks and general statistics to rank the boys.
They did the same with the girls, and Hestia was in the top 25, believe it or not, but she was the only blond who almost got to the top 10, give her a year, and maybe if she grows a bit more(wink), then she could get on the podium.
(Hiro was in the 33rd place for the guys ranking!)
But getting off that, with him thanking her, his arm wrapped around her, grabbing her shoulder with his hand and he gave her a heartfelt side hug, which wasn't really a hug, but it held the same properties.
Puffs of smoke came from her ears and as the girls of the class gasped she almost shoved him, but then he grabbed her chin and had he had that look, like should I, or maybe later~.
Her heart accelerated like crazy and as she breathed harder, she felt it cumming... He was going to kiss her again.
But it didn't happen, he moved his arm from off of her and he then rubbed her head.
"You really are an amazing friend~ If you didn't help me Tina would have bullied me into doing it hehe"
He had that idiotic smile again and he left her puzzled again, why did he keep doing this, did he enjoy teasing her!
'How shameless of you!'
Sucking it up she blurted out,
"Are you and Tina dating!"
This gathered the guys' attention this time and many cracked their knuckles as their "queen" was doing something like this to an unworthy man!
"No, why do you ask... Oooh, unless..."
With anticipation going through the air, this even intrigued Albert as one group envied her while the other envied him and was ready to fight for their "queen"!
"Sorry, but I don't think Tina swings that way"
"Wait what?" Hestia
"Huh?" everyone, even the teacher.
"I could ask, but last time I checked, she had a crush on... Probably still Derek?"
Their classmates looked away as they tried as hard as they could not laugh, the teacher was dieing as he fell back and this was just too funny to him.
"Hey, Hiro... I think she-" Jose
*Bell Ringing*
But Jose was interrupted by the bell and not the school shooter who was supposed to come to my school and ended up getting a blow job.
Shooting up, Hiro grabbed his notebook he waved by, "mata ashita~" saying he'd see them tomorrow, and then he was then gone, like my dad who said he'd get milk.
"Um..."
She was left they're sorta embarrassed now, she couldn't believe that went so badly, how was she supposed to explain she wasn't into girl x girl and him x her.
"Oi, there's always Monday... Or do like they do in the movie and go run after him"
Albert said as he walked past her and left the classroom.
"There no way in hell I'm doing something so cheesy!"
***
She didn't end up confessing, she planned on thinking it over, on what she actually liked about that Hiro, she didn't get why she kept thinking about him, and thinking about him annoyed the hell out of her... But at the same time, it made her heart thump... She didn't get it!
Was it love?
"There no way in hell it is!"
"Fuck this im going to forget all about him, humph!"
***
With every class ending and everyone heading home, he found himself not actually going home immediately and he walked to the market to get some groceries.
There were many stalls filled with the new harvest and there were even hunted beasts the slayers sold to merchants.
But he found it too expensive so he ignored it and walked around to the leafy greens.
-
-
After going around for a bit he knew he could carry much so he decided to get 2 cabbages from the cabbage guy and a duck, he thought thinking about something he could make for his family since his skills in the kitchen were shit, so he was thinking of something basic.
But that led to him crashing into someone.
They both fell and as he was above them, he saw a girl under him and she was a captivating English lady, her eyes crystal blue and her hair black as the night sky, he was astonished by her as he was over her, she was blushing greatly, avoiding eye contact and just slightly looking at him, deepening her blush.
"I apologize for my clumsy sir, may we get up now"
She said softly and he snapped out of it, pushing himself up and offering a hand, which she graciously accepted and was helped up.
"Sorry, I should have been paying attention to where I was going" he bowed and she chuckled.
She then went over and grabbed his grocery bag and stuck her hand out.
"No, the faults all mine"
Looking up he saw the bag and he remembered he had to get going, he took it and as she was going to make conversation with him,
"If you'll excuse me, I'll be on my way, have a good afternoon miss"
He then ran off.
"Miss? Hey, I'm not even that old!... we look around the same age?"
She then sighed and she opened her phone, taking a photo and smiling as she saw him run off, for some reason she found him quite adorable.
"hehehe, let's meet again sometime~"
