@hatsuuharu | ♡ FOR A STARTER .
THIS ENTIRE SCHOOL WAS DISGUSTING . he could feel the germs crawling all around him . he could barely breathe . turning on the bathroom faucet , hot water sprayed out onto his bare hands . the skin was already scared and scabbed due to his past washings . IT BURNED –––– BUT FELT GOOD . he could just feel all the bacteria exiting his fingers and running down the drain . he could finally breathe . in and out , slow and deep . he washed his hands not one , or two , but ten times . it calmed his nerves completely to know he was no longer dirty . once he was finished , he slipped back on his rubber medical gloves . HE FELT LIKE A CAGED ANIMAL .
exiting the mens restroom , he saw something rather ... odd . there was another male student just ahead of him . it wasn ‘ t that he looked odd , but his expression . he looked rather lost . tadaomi wasn ‘ t one to speak to strangers first –––– but he felt like he had to . the student was just standing in the middle of the hallway with a blank expression on his face . he looked like he needed help .
“ u - uhm ... “ tadaomi made his way up to the other student , taking notice of this white and black colored hair . “ are you ... alright ? “ he asked him rather cautiously . he never noticed this student before in the high school . maybe it was just they never crossed paths until now . “ my name is tadaomi shirotani ... are you looking for a certain class ? ... maybe i can help . “

A nod was given as Tadaomi excused himself. “Sounds like a good plan,” Oscar agreed. “I’ll finish up here and get cleaned up, then I’ll head in.” There were still a few things that had to be taken care of, but it was still Tadaomi’s first day. One step at a time, right? Oscar was already planning to introduce him to the chickens and pigs in the morning, but for now? The cows were a good first step.
Thankfully, it didn’t take Oscar long to finish and take a bath. Admittedly, he cheated a bit on the bath, and just took a dip in the river nearby… But, hey, he didn’t have any dirt on him, and he could clean up properly after he ate.
He took a deep breath when he joined Tadaomi in the kitchen, grinning at the delicious smell. It was different from what he normally cooked, but it still smelled great! “If it tastes half as good as it smells, I’m gonna love it.” Granted, first he had to…well… ‘Sit’. Which was less sitting, and more laying down, his forelegs stretching out underneath the table a bit. A trick position, but definitely more comfortable than eating standing up.
Oscar never had curry before, but he definitely liked it. It was an interesting taste! Though not enough to keep him from noticing Tadaomi’s eyes on him. The stallion blinked, looking over with a curious expression. “Ah? No, it’s alright…!” Oh, wait, he was scurrying off again…
Falling silent for a few moments, focusing on eating his dinner, Oscar soon paused and set the bowl down. “Ya know…” He tapped his chin for a moment, trying to figure out how to word what he wanted to say. “You don’t gotta be so nervous. I know I’m not something you see everyday.” He once again smiled, his tail giving a small twitch. “If you’ve got any questions, don’t be afraid to ask ‘em.”
“ i - i ‘ m not nervous ! “ that was a lie . tadaomi was always a rather shy and quiet person , especially around strangers . “ and it ‘ s ... nothing like that . “ his voice sounded slightly serious as he continued . “ i just ... don ‘ t want you to think i ‘ m staring at you because i think you ‘ re weird or anything like that . “ it seemed he was having trouble putting what he wanted to say into the right choice of words . “ i guess i was just ... looking at you . “ bright red flashed across his entire face as he became even more flustered . “ a - ahh ! not in a weird way ! “ it seemed like whatever he thought of saying was only making him look more and more embarrassed . “ j - just ... nevermind !! “
tadaomi decided to leave the kitchen . he couldn ‘ t stand the humiliation any longer . besides , he had to get ready for bed to wake up early tomorrow to do more chores . first , he headed into the bathroom where he drew himself a hot bath . he enjoyed added a bit of bleach mixed in with the water . relaxing in the water , he lied and wondered to himself for a while . once he was finished , he headed into his bed after getting dressed in a pair of pajamas .
it was early morning as his alarm clock on his phone was going off . slightly groaning , tadaomi reached over and turned it off . getting up from his bed , he got dressed and headed into the bathroom where he washed his hands possibly seven times before heading outside . he saw oliver was already up before him and in the barn . “ g - good morning . “ tadaomi still felt a bit embarrassed from what happened last night . he looked around the barn a bit . “ so ... what do you want me to do ? “
@bxrnwild
“That’s the spirit~!” Probably not the best attitude, but at least Tadaomi was willing. And that had to count for something, right? So Oscar led him out to the barn to feed the cows, giving him one of the buckets while the stallion took the other.
Granted, he didn’t expect the other to be so…uneasy around the cows; By the time Tadaomi got to the feeding troth, Oscar had already dumped his bucket in and was petting one of the cows. He couldn’t help the soft huff that escaped him when he saw how Tadaomi acted, covering his mouth with a quiet laugh.
What? It was actually kind of cute, especially with the confusion on his face. “The cows won’t do anything to you,” Oscar assured him. “They’re just big ol’ lugs.” He patted the cow he’d been petting on the head before rejoining Tadaomi, taking the bucket that he had and hanging them both up. “All the farm animals are actually pretty gentle; They’re used to humans, so they’re more likely to love you to death than anything.”
“ a - ah .. “ now tadaomi was starting to blush . his cheeks flushed with a bright pink color as he looked at the other who was trying to hide their laughter . he lowered his head , trying to hide his own embarrassment from him . listening to his words closely , he slightly nodded his head . “ i .. i see . “ that was a relief to hear . tadaomi has no experience what so ever with animals . but hearing that they were all use to humans and were rather friendly creatures put his mind at ease . “ i guess i should start cooking dinner for everyone then . “ leaving the barn , he made his way back into the farmhouse and into the kitchen .
tadaomi began doing preparations for dinner . collecting ingredients and wiping down the kitchen counters and surfaces . he slid off his gloves to expose his bare and scarred hands to which he began to repeatedly scrub until he left like he was clean enough to stop . turning to the ingredients at hand , tadaomi decided he was going to make curry and rice . a rather simple and tasty dish .
it didn ‘ t take long for dinner to be ready . the whole kitchen smelled of the delicious aroma . placing the curry and rice on a plate side by side , he placed it in front of oliver . “ it ‘ s finished . “ he said before nodding his head towards him . “ i hope you like it . “ with dinner finished , tadaomi couldn ‘ t help but let his eyes wonder . he looked over towards the creatures horse half . HE REALLY WAS PART HORSE . tadaomi didn ‘ t take the time to notice it before , but his horse hair looked rather soft and delicate . he wondered what it felt like . it was when oliver caught him staring that tadaomi ‘ s face turned completely red . “ a - ah ! sorry ! i - i should start cleaning up ! “ HE WAS ACTING DISGUSTING . his stomach turned at his behavior . shuffling over to the kitchen counter space , tadaomi began to wipe from the area where he cooked with bleach and disinfectant . EVERYTHING HAD TO BE SPOTLESS .

The statement ‘saved by the bell’ once again rescues him from his students. Of course, Hifumi could wish he’d had the time to resolve their issues before they took to his emails and chipped away at his precious evenings. Still, some graces really did come in the form of his pupils - having forgotten his lunch, a bright-eyed student had made him one as well! If this was their attempt at currying favour before looking at their terrible paper, this was surely the way to go about it… though, the better it was, the more suspicious he’d be.
Idle thoughts lead him over to the teacher’s lounge, up the stairs and out of the way of students, knowing that it’s much quieter on Wednesdays. Right after his most stressful lectures with a cohort that tested his patience. Even if this position was only temporary - until his boredom shoved him elsewhere - dealing with students seemed far more work than maybe… dumping someone in a ditch for the police to find. Teaching actually had repercussions. He’d be held responsible for other people’s mistakes. Just like others were for his own deliberate actions. Surely education was not the field that ex-hitmen took when they put up their arms.
Tired hands fumble with the sliding door, caught in its frame. He manages to get it open quietly and steps in, relieved to find it near empty. Hifumi sighs with relief, a warning to the guy who turns to greet him. The tint of his cheeks is curious, but he decides to pay it no mind - if he can’t even introduce himself properly then there’s definitely no need to tease him.
“Tadaomi huh?” He sits himself down across the table, plopping the surprisingly-heavy, wrapped bento down. “Hifumi Kajiwara. History of sciences. I look forward to working with you.” Dark eyes avoid the others gaze, hopeful that he doesn’t make the other too uncomfortable. Instead he’s too focused on his food. Similar to his co-worker’s lunch, but without the bun and tsukune instead.
“Though, word of advice,” he mutters, shoving a meatball in his mouth. “Might wanna have a bit more spine around here. These kids’ll eat you up if you aren’t careful.”
A warning or a threat, it’s up for this guy to decide. At least he can’t accept responsibility if Tadaomi ends up being labelled as a pushover.
“ e - eh ? “ the fellow teachers advice hit tadaomi hard . it was true ––– he was a complete pushover . he barely even raised his voice to anybody , let alone a child . “ d - don ‘ t say that .. “ he groaned . he felt like a dark rain cloud appeared over his head at the thought of him not succeeding in becoming a honorable teacher . i guess he didn ‘ t know he looked that obvious . “ but ... thank you for the words of advice . “ HE WAS LIKE A SPINELESS JELLYFISH .
tadaomi meal was quickly finished . he let out a deep sigh before standing up from the lunch table . “ i better get back to class ... “ lifting his head up slightly , he gave the man a soft smile . “ it was nice to meet you , kajiwara - kun . “ and with that , the math teacher was off to get to class . of course , not without stopping by quickly into the mens restroom and scrubbing his hands three times .
the rest of the school day went by rather quickly . all of the students hurried up to grab their things and head home , though , it was starting to pour down rain . tadaomi stood near the entrance way staring out at the rain . it wasn ‘ t that he didn ‘ t like the rain ––– but he was unprepared . i guess he forgot to watch the weather channel this morning . he better leave now if he wanted to make it to the subway in time .
THE RAIN WAS COLD . walking down the sidewalk at a steady pace , tadaomi had no doubt in his mind that he would catch a cold from this . especially because his reframe from germs . he could feel the water soaking through his jacket and touching his skin . the subway was one of his least favorite places in the world . they were covered in bacteria and germs . HE DIDN ‘ T EVEN WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT .

Honestly, Oscar was just glad that there wasn’t any screaming. No, Tadaomi seemed rather pleasant, despite being face-to-face with a creature most people didn’t think was real. “Thank you,” he said with a small nod, ducking down a bit to enter the room. It was, admittedly, not meant for someone his size; Oscar quickly found a spot out of the way of where the guest would be going, watching as he got started with unpacking.
“Nothing too extreme,” the stallion assured him. “Boss wants to get you started on the easy things first; Helping feed the animals, cooking for the other farmhands… Oh, right, and checking fence lines.” His hands folded against his stomach, giving Tadaomi a reassuring smile. “In a few days, if you’re feeling comfortable with it, we’ll get you started on some other chores as well. Like getting the cows set up for milking.”
“ i see ... “ tadaomi felted he could easily do the things he had listed besides the last one . there was no way he could see himself even getting close to an animals under carriage . the thought of it made him feel a bit dizzy . letting out a deep sigh , he finally finished putting away his belongings in the correct spots . “ i guess i better get to it . “ and with that , tadaomi followed oscar outside and into the nearby barn .
THE ANIMALS WERE SCARY TO HIM . they were like a walking germ . they walked in their own feces , ate dirty food , and even made creepy noises . “ a - ah ... nice , animals . “ tadaomi felt his palms sweating from underneath his gloves . they looked so deadly to him . like they could attack at any moment . tadaomi held a large bucket of food containing things such as grains , apples , carrots and many other things . he stepped slowly towards the feeding troth , making sure to not step in any dirt along the way . “ i - i ‘ m ... just here to feed you ... okay ? “ his voice was trembling . quickly , he poured the food into the troth and scurried away . they didn ‘ t attack him ? he watched as the cows all made their way over to the food and began to eat at a slow pace . “ eh ? “
@idleattempts | ♡ FOR A STARTER .
TADAOMI DISLIKED GOING TO HIS THERAPY SESSIONS . he found them rather time consuming and a waste . he knew his germaphobia wouldn ‘ t be cured in a day , a week , or maybe even a year –––– but he did want to get better . the session went as it normally goes . they spoke about tadaomi ‘ s troubles and if he has made any improvements . of course he didn ‘ t . he can barely leave his apartment without taking three showers and doing multiple harsh hand scrubs . thankfully , the session was over for the week .
tadaomi left the doctors office , closing the door behind him with a gloved hand . at least he can finally leave to go to the comfort of his own apartment . as he was heading to leave out the front door before noticing someone . there was another young man , possibly the same age as he was , sitting in the lobby . was he waiting to see the therapist too ? his heart began to tighten and his cheeks began to suddenly flush . THE GUY WAS KINDA CUTE .
it was then their eyes met that tadaomi snapped out of it . HE WAS ACTING DISGUSTING . WHAT WAS HE DOING ? quickly turning his head away , he spoke . “ a - ah ! sorry ! “ tadaomi turned to the front door and took his leave . his cheeks were still warm as he made his way away from the building . what was that all about ?
tadaomi took a short walk until finding himself in a nearby park . the cherry blossom trees were beginning to blossom their pink petals , giving the park a beautiful smell to it . making his way over to a metal bench , he pulled something out of his pocket –––– a kleenex wipe . kneeling down and beginning to wipe down the bench from its dirty bacteria surface , he finally sat down . HE STILL FELT EXTREMELY EMBARRASSED BY WHAT HAPPENED . he ‘ s never seen that boy before at the doctor lounge . he wondered if he just started going there . he wondered if he would see him again . hunching over , leaning his elbows against his knee caps , he couldn ‘ t seem to get that man out of his head . what was going on with him ?

Oscar had heard that they had a guest on the farm; A young man, who was apparently there on doctor’s orders. Personally? The stallion found it a little odd. He’d never heard of sending someone to help on a farm as a treatment for anything, other than the few times that the few times that they had teenagers sent to them for behavioral issues.
But this wasn’t one of those cases. The boss assured Oscar that this was an attempt to treat…ah… What was the word he had used again? Germaphobia? Another odd thing, something that Oscar wasn’t entirely sure how or why it was a thing. But he was trusted to be the one to help their guest. There was quite a bit to do, after all; Showing him where things were, how to do the chores, going over schedules and whatnot…
He carefully moved his way through the hallway, finding the door of the guestroom fairly easily. (Why wouldn’t he? He knew the farm like the back of his hand.) “Mister…ah… Mister Shirotani…?” Oscar called out, giving a knock on the door. “My name’s Oscar. I’m here to help you get settled.”
HE HEARD THE MALE VOICE CALLING TO HIM CLEARLY . lifting up his head slightly , using the back of his hand to brush away the tears , he pushed himself up from the floorboards and stood up . “ ... coming . “ he answered the voice with a depressing tone in his voice . before putting his hand on the door handle , he made sure to slip back on his gloves . twisting and pulling , the door opening .
WAS THIS SOME SORT OF JOKE ? standing before tadaomi was a man ... no , a horse ? was this his own mind playing tricks on him ? tadaomi couldn ‘ t help but crack a smile . “ i see ... has my sanity finally snapped ? ... “ he spoke just below a whisper ––– he would be surprised if the stranger would have heard him . he brushed it off . IF HE WAS GOING TO BE STAYING IN HELL , HE MIGHT AS WELL PLAY ALONG . “ oscar ? ... ah , yes ... i think doctor kurose mentioned you before i came here ... please , come in . “
tadaomi headed over to his suitcase that has not yet been opened and unpacked . reaching over and unsnapping the hedges , inside was perfectly folded belongings such as clothing , cleaning products and other miscellaneous things . picking up the items one by one , he began unpacking and placing the objects around the room . “ so ... “ tadaomi finally spoke again . “ what will ... be the chores that i have to do here ? “ his was honestly curious due to his doctor not specifying what his jobs would be here . of course , he was hoping it wouldn ‘ t be something not too harsh like racking up manor or cleaning toilets . he didn ‘ t even want to think about the dark suicidal depression he would be thrown into if that happened .
@defixioarcane | ♡ FOR A STARTER .
WHAT WAS HE EVEN DOING HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE ? tadaomi found himself taking a walk home from school . the sun was already setting across the city skyline causing florescent oranges and pinks to form across the sky . it had only been a week since starting his new life at gekkoukan high school and it hasn ‘ t been so easy ––– especially due to his germaphobia . though , on his way home from school , he found himself taking a wrong turn . he was in a part of the city that hes never been before . it was making him rather nervous .
“ u - uhm ... “ tadaomi looked at his surroundings a bit . it was already dark out by now and the street lights were flickering on to brighten the sidewalk . he was completely lost . he continued on down the path , trying to find any land marks that look familiar ––– but it was no use . it almost seemed like he was going in circles by now .
suddenly , tadaomi felt a harsh tug on his collar . being pulled into a nearby alleyway entrance , he looked who it was . it was a older man wearing a beanie and baggie clothing . a thug . the student was being pushed up against a brick wall with the thug grinning towards him . “ hey , kid . what money do you have on ya ‘ ? “ the thugs voice was deep and quiet serious .
“ a - ahh ... “ TADAOMI COULDN ‘ T FOCUS . his back being forced against a disgusting wall such as this one was enough to make his skin crawl . not to mention a random stranger was touching him . HIS STOMACH WAS STARTING TO TURN . the world around his slowly becoming fuzzy . he was scared and anxious at the same time . “ i - i ... don ‘ t have .. any on me . “ he was telling the truth . tadaomi barely even use paper money because he was afraid of the places it had been .
“ come on , kid ! don ‘ t fuck with me ! i know you have something on ya ‘ ! just cough it up ! “ the thugs words were becoming harsh and dangerous . he glared at tadaomi before speaking again . “ don ‘ t make me hurt ya ‘ ! just give me what you got now ! “
I JUST HAD MY THIRD SHOWER TODAY AND IT ‘ S BARELY 2 . P M .
@carvedsubject | ♡ FOR A STARTER .
TADAOMI FELT EXTREMELY ANXIOUS . stepping into the university , he could already feel his stomach turning . a public school building like this one was bound to be crawling with bacteria and germs . even the thought of it made his palms sweat from within his gloves . letting out a heavy sigh , he tightened his tie from around his neck and headed into the classroom to teach math and algebra .
the day went surprisingly smooth . after the students returned the assignment papers they worked on today and left , tadaomi let out a heavy sigh . THOSE PAPERS HAD TO BE DECONTAMINATED . using a bacterial kleenex wipe , he took every paper one by one and began to wipe reach paper down from top to bottom . he then picked up a red ink pen from his desk and began to grade the papers .
the lunch bell later rang throughout the building –– notifying to everyone it was now time to have their breaks . tadaomi headed into the teachers lounge where he seemed to be the only one around . he didn ’ t mind though . before sitting down at the provided lunch table in the room , he made sure to wipe it down with a rag and some bleach he borrowed from the cleaning supply cabinet . he can now eat . taking a seat , he pulled out his bento box he was carrying . tadaomi could never dare to eat from the schools cafeteria . god knows what bacteria lingered in those lunches . popping open his bento box , inside was a pleasant sight ; white rice with a side of veggies , a honey bun and a bottle of water .
before picking up his chopsticks and digging into his homemade lunch , the staff door opened . tadaomi raised his head to see another teacher standing there . suddenly , his face began to flush . it was a bit awkward being the only two in the room . “ e - ehh … “ he could feel his chest tighten slightly . he never was the best at meeting new people . “ g - good evening ! you must be one of the other teachers here , correct ? … a - ah … my name is tadaomi shirotani . i ’ m the math teacher here . it ‘ s a pleasure to meet you . “
STARTER CALL !!
