Nerves [2/?]
Title: Nerves
Series: Kamen Rider Gaim
Characters: Kureshima Takatora, Kureshima Mitsuzane
Summary: Pre-series. First PTA meets are 'fun'.
--------------
"My name's Kureshima Takatora... and I'll representing my fa—"
Without warning he received a slap on the back.
"So you are the new chief of the Yggdrasil branch here, eh? Didn't think you could be so young!"
A chorus of laughter as Takatora chuckled awkwardly. That's one overly friendly parent.
"Must be hard to take on such responsibility! And you're also taking care of your brother on your own..." Another mother fussing over him. And another...!
"It's not really hard—and I did have help—" he replied, trying so hard to not cringe.
Man, so many people fussing...
"We are really grateful for everything Yggdrasil have done for Zawame—"
"I can't believe that my child is in the same school as the heir of Kureshima!"
"I have to say you're very good-looking, Takatora-kun... I see where Mitsuzane-kun gets it from—are you still single?"
To think he had been worrying about the many activities involving the PTA but this is—if this was the usual corporate activity and people, he could have easily... If he knew it was going to be like this, he'd have brought at least ONE bodyguard...
Suddenly he was pulled aside as a female teacher came to his rescue.
"Please... Sirs, madams... don't startle Kureshima-san like that!" cried the female teacher as she turned towards him, a bit shaken herself. "Sorry about that..."
Takatora nodded gratefully at the teacher. "Don't mention it, " said Takatora, casting a wary glance at some of the other parents. He turned his attention towards her. "Sonoda-sensei... right?"
Miss Sonoda nodded. "Yes, and I'm also homeroom teacher for the class Mitsuzane-kun is in. I take it that this is your first time attending PTA meetings?"
Takatora nodded sheepishly. "Yeah. Before this it's usually my parents doing this—or mostly my mother—but since both of them don't live here I had to take over."
"Yes," said Miss Sonoda. "I heard from the principal. So, do you want me to tell you a bit more about the PTA activities we usually do?"
Takatora hastilly nodded. "Yes, that would be helpful."

And he thought the reactions some of the parents upon seeing him was overwhelming; it was worse... coming from the student themselves. Never would he thought there be a day when he wouldn't want to be himself.
Honestly... it's not like he wasn't grateful to be blessed with good looks, good family background, good education and (if he should be allowed a bit of modesty) a fair share of good intelligence but in this situation, he wished he could have the ability to become invisible. Seriously, the amount of will he was controlling inside to just remain looking unaffected...
At this point he was not sure who was the more flustered at the attention; Mitsuzane or himself. The number of times a female student or two—and even teachers!—sneaking a glance towards him, was enough to make him feel more than just slightly uncomfortable. The amount of attention made him even more self-concious being the only older brother amongst the sea of mums and dads.
He wished the day would end a bit faster...
