7. Tea?

(This chapter was supposed to be finished a while ago, but I have the attention span of a 5-year-old so I lost interest. But I'm trying today. )

Yuki stood outside for a while when Yuzuki finally opened the door, "C-Come in.". stuttered Yuzuki with a small blush on her face

Yuki was surprised as he looked into the house. Not a remnant of the previous mess had remained. For some reason, he felt compelled to find out where she could have hidden all of it.

He snapped out of his daze and responded, "Then please excuse me." as he entered the room. It was only then that he realized that his teacher had changed out of her work clothes.

Yuzuki had just changed into a pair of shorts and a loose shirt, but for some reason, Yuki felt like her outfit was strangely seductive. He bent over and started taking off his shoes, admiring the view as he crouched down.

Yuzuki lead him into the living room and he took a seat by the table before she quickly retreated to the kitchen.

"Do you need any help?" asked Yuki as he waited in the living room.

"No, I'm almost done." responded Yuzuki.

Not long after that, Yuzuki walked in carrying a tray of tea, She placed it on the table before pouring two cups of tea for herself and Yuki.

She took a seat next to Yuki before starting to drink her tea. Yuki looked at her and realized she was nervous. He didn't know what to say either so he just started drinking the tea.

"It's good." praised Yuki as he took a sip.

"T-Thanks..."

It was Hojicha, known as Roasted Green Tea in English. It has a red-brown color and also has a milder and sweeter taste compared to most Japanese Teas. Because of this, it is normally an after-dinner tea and is mainly popular among children and the elderly. (I don't know why I did research on this.)

Yuki didn't expect that a teacher would drink this kind of mellow tea. He thought that it would be something like Gyokuro or Matcha since it seemed more mature (A/N: should I add more thoughts like this to show Karma's knowledge?). He didn't mind it though as he continued to appreciate the tea. He also surveyed his surroundings since he was curious about Yuzuki's house.

All of his actions were noticed by Yuzuki. She noticed how Yuki seemed more mature than her. His back was always straight and even though he was curious about his surroundings, he never asked any questions.

His tea etiquette and mature disposition made her blush as she began to fantasize about him being a samurai (A/N: I think she has a samurai fetish or sum).

Yuki felt her gaze and turned to face her. She immediately turned away as the blush on her face spread further. She didn't realize how long she had been looking for him to notice.

When she turned to sneak a peek at Yuki's face, she found him looking at her with a mischievous grin. Her flustered appearance gave Yuki the urge to tease her.

Before he could do anything stupid, his phone's ring tone went off. He checked the phone and saw that the call was coming from his mom. He looked out of the window and realized it started getting dark.

He stood up and started walking towards the door as he answered the call.

"...Hello?" asked Yuki as he signaled a 'shh' to Yuzuki

"Where are you?" asked Yuki's mom

'Straight to the point.' thought Yuki as he answered, "I met someone from school while I was out and lost track of time. Sorry for making you worry."

"Please just let me know next time. I don't know what I would do if something happened to you."

"Of course. I'll definitely let you know next time."

"Good. I already finished making dinner, so come home before it cools down."

"Got it." said Yuki as he hung up the call. He didn't expect his mom to be so understanding. Since he didn't want to get in any more trouble, he decided to leave.

"Sorry Kiryuu-sensei, it looks I have to get going."
