⊹ ࣪ ˖ 𝓢𝓮ñ𝓸𝓻𝓪 ⊹ ࣪ ˖ │PART TWO!!
Okay, so this is part two that was requested! It’s kinda ahh but still. And I think it could be read without the part one but the part one gives more vibes. So yeah it’s reader x Sae. A fem reader. And I’ll make more like these or something else just say! I don’t know the word count I’m too lazy for that. And this is no nsfw, more like fluff.
After some days in school, for Sae, it was pure torture.
He was getting unusually bullied and humiliated, except when he was on the field.
But to add to everything that was happening, he realized he didn’t even know Spanish well. When his mom in Japan told him to learn it, he’d always say:
“I don’t need it. I’ll play football, not have a tea party.”
He regretted not learning it.
But he would never say that out loud, obviously.
So here Sae was, standing in the hallway in front of the main school board, looking at a paper that read:
“Spanish Tutoring, in the library every day after classes!”
-Tch, a tutor? I don’t need a tutor. I’m fine. And I’m the one people should learn from, not the other way around!-
But oh boy, he was about to fail his Spanish class because he didn’t know anything.
That evening, he went to his late-night training, kicking balls into the net and practicing his direct shot while talking to himself.
“Stupid Spanish. Why do I even need it? I’m fine with my English! I mean, everyone can understand me anyway. And those who can’t are mediocre.”
It flew straight into the goal.
“And that ‘so good tutor’ couldn’t even say who it was!”
Another day, another hell.
He walked through the hallway, still a little pissed.
And he wasn’t pissed at anyone directly.
He was pissed because he wouldn’t admit that he really needed those lessons.
He entered the classroom and sat down, not bothering to look at anyone.
The teacher entered, and he looked up.
“Good morning, everyone! I graded your tests!”
-Okay, maybe I didn’t do SO bad? What if it’s actually good?-
On the outside, his face was cold, like always.
But inside, he was sweating through his balls.
Then the teacher handed him his test.
-THREE OUT OF A HUNDRED??-
After classes that day, here he was.
Looking for the mysterious tutor with that flyer still clutched in his hand.
On the flyer, it said the tutor referred to themselves as “Señora,” so he obviously thought they were a girl.
Sitting at a corner table in your school uniform skirt that suited you so well his eyes nearly bugged out of his head whenever you walked past.
The ribbon in your hair was slightly crooked on one side, somehow making you look even prettier.
He swallowed and slowly took a few steps forward.
Sae stopped in front of your table and cleared his throat, the flyer still clutched tightly in his hand.
“Hi… are you the tutor for Spanish?”
You looked up at him and smiled softly.
“Yeah. Take a seat if you’d like.”
He was supposed to be at practice.
But sitting next to you, hearing your sweet voice and seeing that gentle smile on your lips…
The thought wasn’t so bad.
Not that he’d ever admit that.
So he slowly took a seat beside you, his heart pounding so hard against his ribs that he wouldn’t have been surprised if you could hear it.
You pulled your books and notebook from your bag.
Highlighters in every shade of soft pink.
Little flowers decorating the top corners of the pages.
Suddenly, he felt oddly out of place.
He pulled out his own crumpled notebook.
His handwriting was messy.
The pages were torn like someone had chewed on them.
He only had one pen that barely worked and a single textbook from school.
But you didn’t seem to mind.
It looked like you were used to helping people.
“So,” you asked politely, “what do you struggle with the most?”
He hadn’t thought about that.
What did you mean, what did he struggle with?
He struggled with Spanish.
That was why he was there.
So he awkwardly scratched the back of his neck.
“Uh… I… maybe the last lesson…?”
The truth was that he had no idea what the last lesson was.
Or the lesson before that.
“Oh. Okay. Sure, we can start with that.”
And then you started teaching.
You talked and rambled about grammar, vocabulary, and lessons that made absolutely no sense to him.
The words swirled around his head like alphabet cereal floating in milk.
Maybe he even learned something.
But every now and then, his attention drifted.
His gaze would wander to your face.
To the way you smiled when explaining something.
To the shine of the pink lip gloss on your lips.
Then he’d immediately force himself to look away.
Why was he even paying attention to that?
You continued talking, completely unaware of the crisis happening inside his head.
And Sae wasn’t entirely sure he understood a single thing.
Then you finally closed your notebook.
“Okay. So, should we check?”
His eyes snapped back to yours.
He couldn’t exactly tell you that he’d spent the last hour staring at you instead of learning Spanish.
So he did the only thing he could.
“Um… I-I remember the, uh… ¿Cómo te llamas?… And… rojo, azul y verde…?”
“That wasn’t the last lesson, but sure. At least you learned something!”
The tips of his ears turned pink, though it was mostly hidden beneath his hair.
He quickly looked away, embarrassed.
Not that he’d ever admit that either.
You began packing your books into your bag, carefully sliding the highlighters back into their case.
“Same time tomorrow?” you asked.
Sae looked down at the scattered notes on the table.
Truthfully, he hadn’t learned much.
He had learned some colors.
And how to ask for someone’s name.
And maybe a few other things.
But mostly, he’d learned that spending an hour with you didn’t feel nearly as exhausting as spending an hour with anyone else.
His fingers tightened slightly around his pen.
“Great. I’ll see you tomorrow then.”
For some reason, the word sounded nice.
You stood up and slung your bag over your shoulder before giving him a small wave.
Sae remained seated for a moment, watching until you disappeared around the corner of the library.
The corners of his lips twitched upward ever so slightly.
His classmates were still annoying.
His Spanish was still terrible.
And he was probably still going to fail his next test.
But for the first time since arriving here…
Tomorrow didn’t seem so bad.
