You were too engrossed in the conversation with your friends. You guys sat at the bench while waiting for the first team to finish their baseball match. Suddenly your conversation was cutted off when your friend pointed over to the person who was about to bat next.
It was Niki. You wouldn't really consider him your friend despite being in the same class for 3 years. You two talked to each other sometimes and even argued during your design class since Niki was your seatmate (according to him lol cause there was never a sitting plan) but the majority of the time, Niki was nowhere to be seen in class unless it's gym class. Typical delinquent behavior.
"I bet he can complete a home run before they even manage to catch the ball", your friend chuckled. You shook your head before letting out a sigh. What did you know? She wasn't wrong. After seeing Niki's turn finish, you stood up, and told your friend that you were going to refill your water bottle. She only gave you a thumbs up while her eyes were glued to the boys in the field.
The gate of the field was quite far away. You were looking down as you watched your step on the muddy field. Moments later, you heard your name being yelled out. Before you could even process anything, you saw the ball flying towards you. You immediately shut your eyes tightly. Waiting for the impact but it never came. You heard someone hissed in pain. Slowly opening your eyes, you saw Niki in front of you with the baseball in his hand. He caught it!?
'It must have hurt', you thought as you noticed he caught it without his gloves on.
"You alright?" He asked. You nodded your head before thanking him profusely. Telling him that you would do anything to pay him back. He only chuckled before rejecting your offer. He threw the ball back to the boys in the field before excusing himself to the nurse's office.
You and him walked side by side out of the field silently. "So did it hurt?" "Hm?". You pointed to his right hand. "Oh not really, it just feels a bit sore". You nodded your head before looking ahead. "Probably won't be able to attend Design class today since I can't functionally use my right hand as for now". "Oh" , you unconsciously pouted. Niki chuckled. "I mean I could accompany you if you want, since you'll be by yourself", he suggested. "So what? you can annoy me?", you spoke sarcastically. He turned to look at you with a playful grin on his face. "Maybe".

"Oh? You're going to class with Niki?" You nodded your head. One of your friends grinned at you, making you knock her in the head. "Don't overthink you idiot", you told her.
You waved goodbye to your two friends before you walked towards the other direction where Niki stood outside the classroom.
"Riki", you called him. He looked away from his phone. After realizing it was you who called him, he waved with his phone in his hand. The two of you walked towards the art studio. You noticed that his right hand was banaged.
'It must hurt more than what he said', you thought, unconsciously touching his right hand. He looked at you in surprise. "Hm? Did you want to hold my hand?", he asked while shamelessly smirking at you. Before you could even say no, he had already moved to the other side and held your right hand with his uninjured hand. You felt your cheek heating up. How could he be so chill?
You two made it to the art studio. He pulled you behind him, dragging you to your usual table. There were already a few students there, working on their individual projects. You overheard whispers from some of them and saw some even eyeing yours and Niki intertwined hands. It made you feel uncomfortable with people looking at you with judging eyes.
Before you could pull away, you two had already caught the eye of your teacher in charge. "Oh Niki? Mr Kim told me to excuse you from this week's design class. What are you doing here and…why are you holding y/n's hand?", Mdm Jeon pointed to your intertwined hands.
You quickly let go of Niki's hand before sitting down at your seat. Niki followed along before replying to Mdm Jeon. "I'm here to accompany y/n but I think I can complete my digital art on my iPad. My hand doesn't hurt that bad". Mdm Jeon eyed him before shrugging her shoulders. "Suit yourself then and y/n make sure Niki stays away from the machinery". You nodded your head before grabbing your clay mould from the drying rack.
You were so focused on your project that you didn't notice Niki's friends who had gone past your table. They were teasing Niki before patting his shoulder and walking to their table. One particular comment stuck in his head.
"I bet you like her, you're just in denial~"
'Do I like her?', he was lost in his thoughts while looking at your focusly painting. You and him weren't really close, heck he doesn't even know when your birthday is either. When you looked at him, he immediately looked away. It made you chuckle before continuing painting. "Riki, what are you thinking?", you said. He pouted before responding back. "Nothing…do you want to go get snacks from the vending machine?", he asked, trying to change the topic. You nodded your head before standing up from your seat. Niki grabbed his wallet and excused himself and you from the class. Mdm Jeon only told him to hurry up and not loitering around the hallway.

You both snacked on the snacks you guys brought from the vending machine on the way back to the studio. Suddenly Niki thought of something. "I just realized that we never really hang out as classmates or even friends if you considered me as one for the past 3 years", he pointed out. You raised your eyebrow. "You would have been my friend, if you didn't constantly skip classes any time you want and actually do your homework", you scoffed jokily which made Niki elbowed you lightly. You stuck your tongue out before increasing your pace. "Oi Y/n! Don't leave me behind!" he yelled which caught the attention of the juniors who were sitting at the tables near the vending machine.

After that day, you constantly found yourself together with Niki for almost the whole day for the past month. Some students even pointed out that Niki was attending class and so far hadn't been skipping them. The teachers were even surprised when he handed his completed homework on time. Your close friends teased you, saying that you were the reason why Niki suddenly became a good boy. You shook your head in denial but your cheeks were bright red which didn't justify your point. For every class you and Niki had together, you noticed that he sat beside you at the front instead of his usual seat at the back of the classroom. But damn, he'll be obstructing the view of your classmates behind you. When the teacher asked him to sit at the back instead, he refused, saying that he couldn't see the board. (Even though everyone knows his vision 20/20). So they were forced to move to the other side to be able to see the board.
During break time, Niki would play basketball with his friends before joining you at the cafeteria. You would always buy him food for him to eat, to the point, he gave you his meal card so that you didn't have to use your own meal card to buy him food. He was thankful that you thought of him whenever he decides to go play basketball instead of eating during break time. His friends sometimes teased you when they see Niki and you sitting together in the cafeteria. Soon enough, everyone's perception of Niki changed. Now, they see Niki as a boy who's trying to put in effort in his studies (though he was still rebellious from time to time).

You made your way to the art studio after telling Niki that you wanted to finish up your project. It was past half an hour when you suddenly heard commotion below the art block, followed by the voice of a teacher and some male voices yelling. One in particular stood out, making your way down to the ground level. You were met with a crowd. Making your way to the front, you saw Niki and Izu, a classmate of yours that was known to make sexual remarks about the female students in your school. Niki threw a punch across Izu's face, making you gasp in surprise. The teacher immediately pulled Niki away. Niki clenched his fist as he yelled at Izu who was already on the ground. "You keep y/n's name out of your mouth. If I ever heard you harassing or even make sexual remarks about any other girls in our school, I won't hesitate to beat you to death. You're disgusting and pathetic".
"Riki…", you called him. He turned to look at you before removing the teacher's grip on him. Walking towards you. You could see how angry he was, as he grinded his teeth. He grabbed your wrist and dragged you along with him. You tried to tell him to slow down and explain what had happened but he didn't listen. Soon you found yourself in an empty classroom. He let go of your hand before sitting down on the chair. He shut his eyes and let out a sigh. You noticed a cut that was bleeding, quickly walking over to the teachers table to grab some tissues.
"That bastard called you a slut and said that you were my plaything. I mean who wouldn't be mad if their crush is being called— OUCH!" He glared at you, who was cleaning his wound on his cheek. You mumbled out an apology before playing with his hair. Niki let out a sigh again before wrapping his arm around your waist while pulling you to stand between his legs. "You…you like me?", you spoke softly. He looked you in the eye before nodding his head. "It's alright if you don't feel—" "I like you too…", you interrupted him. The corner of his lips tug upwards as he leaned his head on your body. "Eh~ where's the bad boy Niki now?" you raised your eyebrow while teasing him. He leaned back on the chair and looked at you with a playful smirk on his face. "He's still here but only for you to see".
"I'm your bad boy and you're mine."
