The class quiets down immediately, but one brave student raises their hand.
"Sanemi-sensei, are you and Tomioka-sensei... you know...?"
Sanemi's eye is twitching slowly looking up to the student.
"That's none of your business! Now open your books!"
The student smirks and whispers to their friend, who giggles again.
Sanemi is marching over to the student's desk.
"I said NO MORE TALKING! If you don't start paying attention, I'll make you do extra homework every day for a month" The student quickly stops giggling and focuses on their work, while Sanemi returns to his desk, muttering under his breath about 'nosy brats' and 'annoying crushes.' During the lesson, Sanemi keeps glancing at the clock, counting down the minutes until he can see Giyuu again during gym class. He tries to concentrate on math but finds himself thinking about Giyuu's athletic body instead.
Damn it, focus on teaching! Stop thinking about Tomioka in his gym clothes...
The bell rings again, signaling the end of math period. Sanemi gathers his things with a frustrated sigh.
"Alright, you're dismissed. Don't forget to do the homework problems!"
He rushes out of the classroom, determined to avoid any more teasing from Mitsuri and Obanai about his 'obvious' attraction to Giyuu.
He spots him walking to the gym ahead of Sanemi, and his heart skips a beat. He debates whether to catch up or keep his distance
Why does he have to be so good at running too? It's like he's mocking me...
Sanemi is stopping in his tracks as he sees Shinobu approach him.
"Of course she's here too..."
He watches from afar as Shinobu jumps onto Giyuu's back, clearly enjoying herself while Sanemi's expression darkens with jealousy.
Sanemi is muttering under his breath.
"That little pest... Always hanging around him."
He clenches his fists, remembering how Shinobu often makes fun of his 'crush' on Giyuu. Shinobu notices Sanemi watching and smirks, deliberately hugging Giyuu tighter while waving at him.
"Hey Shinazugawa! Join us for some fun!"
Sanemi is gritting his teeth now.
"No thanks. I have important things to do."
"Like stalking Tomioka?"
She giggles mischievously. Sanemi's face turning red again.
"I'm not stalking anyone! I'm just... observing the school grounds!"
He turns away sharply, trying to hide his embarrassment as Giyuu glance over at him with his usual stoic expression.
"Shinobu he is right. I must go now to the gym."
"Aww, Tomioka, you're no fun!"
She pouts and reluctantly lets go of you.
Sanemi whispers under his breath.
"Thank god..."
He quickly walks away, pretending to be checking his phone while secretly watching Giyuu enter the gym building. Once hie is inside, Sanemi leans against the wall outside, debating whether to follow him in or go back to his classroom.
I should go... but I really want to see him teach... No, stop being creepy, Shinazugawa!
He finally decides to go in, telling himself it's because he needs to discuss something about the curriculum with Giyuu. As he enters, he sees him organizing equipment.
"Tomioka, we need to talk about the math curriculum integration for PE."
"Ah ok...what is the problem?"
Sanemi is walking closer, trying to maintain his professional demeanor despite his racing heart
"The students keep getting confused about the correlation between physical activity and mathematical concepts."
"So where is the problem?"
Sanemi is getting slightly flustered by Giyuu's directness.
"The problem is they need more hands-on practice. Like... maybe we could do a joint lesson?"
He crosses his arms defensively, trying to appear indifferent despite suggesting something that would require spending more time with him.
"You mean like an afternoon club?"
Sanemi's eyes lighting up with interest.
"Yeah, exactly. An afternoon club where we combine our classes. It would be beneficial for both subjects."
He tries to hide his excitement at the thought of spending more time with Giyuu, but his voice betrays a hint of eagerness.
"Well I have Monday time."
Sanemi is quickly checking his schedule.
"Monday works for me too. I'll handle the math portion and you can lead the physical activities."
He mentally celebrates getting to see Giyuu more often the week now, though he keeps his expression neutral.
"Shinazugawa how fit are you?"
Sanemi is taken aback by the sudden question, his competitive nature kicking in.
"I'm pretty damn fit. Why? You think I can't keep up with your workouts?"
He stands up straighter, trying to show off his athletic build through his clothes.
"I am not talking about muscles. Can you do a flip or a split?"
Sanemi's confidence falters slightly, remembering his limitations
"Well... I can do a basic split, but flips are more complicated. Why do you ask?"
He feels a bit self-conscious now, realizing he might not be as flexible as some of the students.
"I am just checking how flexible you are."
Sanemi is blushing slightly at the implication.
" I'm flexible enough for what we need. I don't need to do any fancy moves."
He shifts uncomfortably, imagining Giyuu testing his flexibility in various ways that are definitely not school-appropriate.
"Okay I can see it... I will tell the principal about our club than."
Sanemi is relieved that he changing the subject.
"Right. Let's make sure we get all the necessary paperwork done. I'll handle the math curriculum materials."
He watches Giyuu walk away again, trying to shake off the thoughts of his body moving in ways he shouldn't be thinking about during work hours. As he leave, Sanemi pulls out his phone to text Obanai.
Sanemi:
I just signed up for torture. Literally.
Obanai:
What did you do this time,
Shinazugawa?
Sanemi:
I'm going to be in the same club as Tomioka. Every Monday. For who knows how long.
Obanai:
Oh, the poor students. And you're not going to survive either.
Sanemi:
🖕
Obanai:
At least you'll get to see him sweat.
Maybe you'll finally make a move.
Sanemi:
Shut up! I'm not going to do anything. This is purely professional.
He types back aggressively, but his mind betrays him with images of Giyuu exercising.
