A/N: Grade 1 Elementary teacher, Takahashi-sensei teaches a class of seven year olds. Once upon a time, Niigaki Sayumi decides to bully (again) a certain turtle, and Takahashi-sensei decides to this time reprimand the little girl. As Takahashi Ai meets a surprisingly handsome young man.
==**=**=**=
A small petite female with short brownish hair tied on a low ponytail hanging on one side of her shoulders entered the room of cute rambling little children. The children immediately set eyes on the beautiful teacher and smiled.
“Good Morning, Sensei!” The children said in a chorus, going back to their seats.
“Good morning, everyone. Seems like all of you are in a really good mood today.” Takahashi Ai-sensei, greeted as all the children nodded and agreed with her. “Alright, let’s take attendance!” She smiled at the children who cheerfully answered “Haaaaiii~!” whilst she started calling names from A to Z.
“Seeeennnseeiiiiii!!” The loud voice of a seven year old Kamei Eri called towards the teacher’s attention. “Sayumi-chan is bullying me again!” The child brought her hands to her eyes as she cried out.
Niigaki Sayumi on the other hand just sat beside the little girl, arms crossed with a smirk on her face. Apparently the little devil of a child had been poking the older girl with a pencil on her arm completely irritating the poor child.
“Mou, Sayumi-chan why do you keep on bullying Kame-chan?” Ai talked to the little devil of a bunny who just smiled sweetly at her.
“It’s how I show my love, Sensei.” She answered in a matter of fact way like an adult. “You’ll experience it someday, maybe.”
“Geez, Sayu-chan.” Ai successfully calms down the crying turtle and went to face the black haired female and patted her head. “Well… try to rarely show your love to Kame-chan okay? Cause it hurts her, ne? I’m sure there’ll be another way to show your love to her.”
“Has sensei been in love before?” Sayu asked innocently, cute big eyes blinking at the teacher. Ai only smiled at the girl, patted her head for the last time before standing up and going back to the front to continue the class.
Not too long later, after the ABCs it was lunch time, and also the time for the children to go home, ride their school buses and be the kind children they are in their children’s home.
Sayu opens her mouth wide, sinking her teeth onto flesh as a certain Kamei Eri cried out in pain. She smirked proudly at her final product of a ‘love mark’ and smiled.
Ai immediately noticed the commotion and rushed over. She frowned at the teeth mark on the poor older child’s arm while flaring her arms in pain.
“Sayu-chan.” Ai looked at the black haired female who just pouted, as she pouted at the female. “Why did you bite Kame-chan this time?”
“I just wanted to mark her, that she’s mine forever.” Sayu pouted while crossing her arms and look away.
“But Sayu-chan, you know that’s not proper, ne?” Ai asked as the young child uncrossed her arms and nodded. “Will you say Sorry to Kame-chan for biting her?”
“….” Sayu stayed silent and pouted.
“Ah! It’s Niigaki-san!” One of the children, named Tanaka Reina pointed at the direction of the door of the classroom and rushed over. “Niigaki-san!”
“Oh hey, Tanakacchi. Have you seen Sayusuke?” The aforementioned ‘Niigaki-san’ asked, squatting on the ground to pat the little girl’s head like a kitten.
“I think Sensei is scolding her right now…” Reina put a finger on her head and looked around. “Ah, they’re over there. I’ll lead you over, Niigaki-san!”
“Did Sayu do something again?” Niigaki wondered and walked over, hand being dragged by the seven year old Reina.
“Ne, Sayu-chan, apologize to Kame-chan?” Ai pleaded, her hands together in front of Sayu who just sighed and nodded.
“Haaaiii.” She blew air on one side of her cheek. “I’m sorry, Eri. I won’t bite you anymore.”
Eri nodded and smiled at the female. “You know, Sayu. I really like you a lot. Just please don’t be too violent.” The child said pouting at the black haired female who looked away with a blush.
“Hora, Sayu-chan.” Ai smiled at the cute scenario as a low pitched voice interrupted the joyful reconciliation.
“Did my angel faced of a devil do something bad again? I really apologize, Sensei.” The voice interrupted, almost towering at the smile children and the kneeling sensei to be of level to them.
“Papa!” Sayu looked up to see her father and immediately rushed over to grab his big hands and lead him towards her teacher. “Papa! This is Takahashi-sensei.”
Ai stood up from her kneeling position and looked at the not too much taller man in front of her. He had a small handsome face, long hair ponytailed low at the back, and bangs brushed up for a clean look. He was wearing black slacks, with a white long sleeve first three buttons open, and a shirt inside.
“Sensei?” Sayu’s voice broke Ai’s stupor. The teacher immediately shook her head left and right and smiled shyly a blush on her face.
“Umm, H- Hi!” She greeted almost avoiding to look at the young man’s handsome features. “Sayu-chan is a kind child. Although… she can be a bit… yeah… sometimes.”
“I really worry about this child since she just does whichever it is that she likes.” The man who looks like someone in his early twenties spoke, patting his child’s head as Sayu struggled to remove the big hand from her hair. “Ah, I’m Niigaki Risa. Nice to meet you, Takahashi-sensei.”
“Nice to meet you, Niigaki-san.” Ai looked up at the man again with a smile, as their eyes locked in an awkward staring contest.
“Gaki-Onii-san!” Kamei Eri called for Sayu’s dad. “Ah, Mama is here. See you tomorrow, Sayu!”
“See you, Eri!” Sayu waved as the commotion between the children broke Ai and Risa from their short staring contest, suddenly looking shy with blushes on their faces.
Risa scratched the back of his head, Ai looked at the ground as if a year’s worth of history lessons were plastered on them.
“Papa, stop flirting with the pretty Sensei.” Sayu pouted as she pulled her Dad’s pants.
“He- He wouldn’t! Sayu-chan, mou.” Ai immediately answered. “Your mama would be mad.”
“Ah… I—“
“Papa never married. Mama left for another man after giving birth to me.” Sayu said bitterly, tightening her hold on her father’s slacks.
An awkward atmosphere filled the until an awkward laugh coming from the man broke the tension.
“That must be why she grew up spoiled and devilish this little angel faced evil.” Risa kneeled to ruffle his child’s hair with a smile. “I’m really sorry for all the trouble, Takahashi-sensei.”
“Ah, No! Really. It’s my job.” Ai answered with a smile, as she fidgeted under the young man’s gaze. “I’m sure that you’re a good father.” She smiled at the young man who immediately clammed up and denied it.
“Papa, stop flirting with the pretty Sensei.” Sayu said pulling on her father’s pockets with a smirk.
“Sayusuke! You know Papa isn’t doing that!” Risa immediately pinched the child’s cheeks and patted her head. “Sorry about that, Sensei. My little devil here likes spouting nonsense.”
“No, No. It’s fine.” She glanced at her watch and saw the time. “Ah, I apologize but I have to go now. I still have other jobs to attend to. Please take care!” She kneels and pats Sayu’s head. “Sayu-chan, remember what Sensei told you, okay?”
“Un!” Sayu cheerfully answered and waved goodbye to her teacher. “Take care, Sensei!”
“You too, and Niigaki-san as well. It was nice to meet you.” Ai said and smiled shyly while looking at the ground again.
“No, it was my pleasure for meeting you today.” Risa answered and scratched the back of his head. “I’m kind of glad now that Mama was a bit busy.”
“No, no. It was my pleasure.” Ai answered looking up at the young man as their gazes meet again into a short staring contest.
“Sensei, I thought you had job.” Sayu interjected with a devilish smile.
“Oh! Right! See you!” After getting out of her trance, Ai immediately dashed out of the classroom as Sayu pulled her dad out the classroom’s other exit to their car so they can finally go home.
“Papaaaaaaaa.” Sayu called for her father as they quietly drove home from her school. It was an unusual situation, because her father was always the talkative one.
“Ye~~~~s?” Risa answered, looking straight at the road after turning a right corner. “What’s up, Sayusuke?”
“Was Takahashi-sensei really pretty?” Sayu asked innocently playing with her seatbelt.
“Wh- What are you talking about?” Risa stuttered, immediately hitting his face with a free hand after realizing his tongue tie. “What are you talking about?”
“Fufu.” Sayu giggled. “Papa, I’ve seen you deal with girls your age, but that was the first time I saw you like that today.”
“Do you know what you’re talking about, you little braaa~t?” Risa asked playfully pinching the little girl’s cheek again as the car stopped at a red light.
“I don’t really remember, Mama so I don’t know how Papa acted around her.” Sayu explained, rubbing her red cheek. “But I’m definitely sure there’s something else to Sensei than just my teacher, Papa.”
Risa only laughed nervously. “Yeah, she’s really pretty.” He admitted, lowering down the hand break and the car moved forward again as the signal light turned green. “She’s so sexy too.”
“My papa is a pervert.” Sayu said, covering her mouth with both of her hands.
