Never * Scotland X Reader*

~Never~

*College!Scotland X College!Reader*

The atmosphere was already tense and ready to pop anytime. A symphony of broken chords played in both of their minds,the same sick sound of snapping,created by their plain imagination.

She placed a hand against her temple in thought,brushing away the few locks which clinged stubbornly to the patch of skin.

His eyes were monotonous,some might have said they lacked emotion,but there was something in the back of all that tones of greens.

With a swift,almost too feminine motion,he brought the cigarette to his pale lips,inhaled some of the smoke and let the rest of it dissipate into thin air,creating some sort of veil of blueish white in between them two.

The red haired man let his arm fall limp near his body as he parted his lips in order to say something - but he couldn't,as he heard his name being called,as well as the sound of steps against concrete invade their ears.

The female made a step back,as if she took precautions for people not to misinterpret,placing one hand on the schoolbag slung onto her shoulder.

"Hey boss! Ready for some fun?" one of the boys,Alfred said.

It was just too much for human mind to comprehend how the American boy managed to pass the finals and enter the Engineering college - but then again,he wasn't the first and neither was he that tight minded.

"Aye! Ya' call Economics class fun?" the Scotsman replied,a deep chuckle leaving his throat in a melodical way.
"At least it's not Algebra,so still good!" one of the few female students replied,waving to the (h/c), who absentmindedly did the same.

"Aww,c'mon Allistor! Finish that damn cigarette and let's go to class!" another whined,already clinging to the Scot's stripped shirt.

Dragging some more smoke out of the white stick only to annoy her,the male rolled his eyes at the girl's antics,who only did to snatch away his precious cigar and dry it all out of smoke,leaving the others mouth agape.

Scale one - she clinged onto him. Scale two - she took his cigar,which is more of indirect kiss.

Having given one apologetical smile from Elizaveta,the (h/c) gently shook her head and decided it was the best indeed to head for the class.

Reaching for the door,another hand - pale enough - did first,keeping it wide open for her to enter. Raising her petite figure,(Name)'s face developed into a smile when she met the precious blue orbs of the second top student of the college,Eduard von Bock.

"Hey Ed! Such a gentleman I see!" the female giggled,brushing her fingers against her locks out of pure habit.

"It's not as if we have enough female students around,so why not?" the Estonian replied in a soft tone,a rare smile gracing his porcelain figure.

"So if we were more,you wouldn't do that?" (Name) questioned out of plain curiosity as she slipped in the building,shortly followed by the said male.

"I don't know! I guess there are some exceptions!" Eduard answered,shrugging his shoulders to emphasise his point.

"Of course Ed,we already know (Name) would be that one exception,you technology loving freak!" Elizaveta butted in,causing the Estonian to scrunch his nose in disapproval,while her female friend burst into laugh.

"Mind you,Elizabeth dear,we all are 'technology loving freaks' in here!" the shaggy blonde headed Brit interrupted,oversized mint green sweater clinging to his slender body.

"'ello love!" Arthur's face morphed into a petite smile as he met the (h/c)'s frame,causing her to blush at the adorable pet name.

"H-Hey Arthur!" (Name) greeted too,a trembling smile growing onto her face as she tried to hide that blooming pink color.

"Yo guys,you wouldn't guess what I've seen today!" a boisterous,feminine voice cut through the awkward air,rushed steps being heard against the marble floor.

A prolonged screech could be heard as the shoes made contact with the neat floor,causing the girl's eyes to go wide for mere seconds as she was positive she was to meet her end - or better said,to mess her face up and have the whole shame on her. But the thing didn't happen,as a skilfull pair of arms snaked down to her waist and kept her in place.

"Phew! That was close!" Svea breathed,making everyone exhale all of a sudden.

"As I was saying..." she continued,dusting herself a little bit.

The Norwegian facepalmed at the Dane's attitude,gathering his thrown stuff - which he also did for her own good,but well.

"I've seen the Economics teacher on the bicycle! In suit! And fancy shoes! With his fancy bag!" the blonde brought her palms together,clapping in excitement.

"Woah! The irony. Hadn't he previously mentioned that if you can't afford a car you should buy a bike?" (Name) chuckled,reminiscing now the conversation with her teacher.

"Exactly! Now the thing is the following - he has the money,but apparently his wife cut his supplies!" Matthias proudly stated,his face already breaking into an enormous grin at his mates surprised faces.

"Mister Køhler,how many times do I have to tell you this is not a port to come and go as you want? The Law college is just across the street,so move your ass!" the principal called,startling the older student.

"Eep! Sir yes sir! The King will see you later guys!" the spikey headed made a mad dash to the door,almost going through it - thing which caused the others to healthily laugh.

"I don't think his wife cut his supplies though!" Emil cocked a silver eyebrow,the amused smile not leaving his face.

"Hn'!" Berwald agreed with a grunt,placing better his glasses onto the bridge of his nose.

Trailing her eyes to her back,the (h/c) could see the girl still clinging onto Allistor like a little blood sucker,while he seemed to be talking serious matters at the phone. Shrugging the female off - to (Name)'s content - he ended the call,brushing his fiery red locks with a sole hand,big steps closing the gap between himself and his classmates.

"The Physics teacher called me and he said we should move the class from 7-9 pm to 12-2 am." he spoke,capturing all eyes on him.

"But when are we going to eat?" Svea complained,gaining a pinch from the Norwegian - though he couldn't agree more.

"Better said,where are we going to have that class? If it's at the Journalistic College,we won't be able to make it in time!" (Name) spoke,turning in order to face the red headed.

"Aye,that's true! But the programming teacher agreed to let us off earlier in order to get there in time!" the Scott replied in just a matter of seconds.

"Oh well,I guess we don't have a choice then!" Elizabeta sighed,leading the way to the highest levels.

Entering the class one by one,(Name) choose her place in the second row,her left being occupied by the Hungarian,while in the right stood her second greatest buddy who she admired - Ivan Braginski.

Getting a pen and a notebook out of her bag,the (h/c) placed her cheek against her palm,lazily watching the surroundings.

Her gorgeous (e/c) eyes landed on the comic duo made out of Svea and Lukas,who sat in front of her,shortly followed by Arthur and his bad sight. The most talkative students chosen to sit in the back out of different considerents - talking,obviously.

What surprised her though was him - with a seductive smirk plastered onto his handsome face,Allistor demanded in a deep voice to be given the place just in front of Elizabeta.

Jade green meeting clear (e/c),the Scotman's smile grew larger,making once again the female's cheeks gain color.

Saved by fate,the Economics teacher entered the class,greeting the students with an almost familial 'Good evening' eventhough it was almost night.

Beginning with two problems,the middle aged man gave the students some time to think about the correct answer before to actually state it.

Determined to resolve at least one,(Name) slipped out her elastic and placed her hair into a ponytail,working upon the problems.

"Psst,(Name)!" the voice in her left called as she finished the second problem.

"Are you leaving tomorrow to see your family?" Elizabeta questioned when she was sure she had her whole attention settled upon her.

"Yes,I've quite had that in mind for some time. I already have the ticket so nothing would make me change my mind!" the (h/c) chuckled silently,hearing the teacher demand for an answer.

"Who would like to answer to question number 1?" the Economics teacher requested,seeing several hands raising,some uncertain,some though positive.

"Miss (Last Name)?" he half demanded,gaining a curt nod.

"As we can observe in the given graphic,the demand is constant,while the supply is further from the origin,which means the supply at the second moment is bigger. That automatically leads us to answer d - the price increases as well as the equilibrium quantity!" the female answered in a certain tone,not trembled in the slightest.

If only she could talk to Allistor as that,she thought.

"Very well miss (Last Name)!" the teacher praised,notting down something onto his mysterious paper.

"There's no doubt you are the top student of this college (Name)!" Ivan smiled sweetly at the (h/c),who returned the gesture.

"Thank you Ivan!" the female whispered,feeling the two jade orbs onto her.

That's how Allistor was - up for being a leader,smart enough to mind his own business and answer the questions,talkative and loved by all,funny and a magnet for girls. Even his obsession for cigarettes made him desirable in a strange manner. Indeed,he was the finest man out of all (Name) met at her college - classy and sassy when needed.

Damn him for being so attractive and damn fate for being so cruel - bad boys may like good girls,but they get with the bad girls just to keep their image unstained.

'It's so strange to have so many eyes on me,but not the ones that I want! Oh dear,what am I thinking? Focus (Name),focus! This might occur at the exam! Damn you and your cute attitude Allistor!' the (h/c) scolded in her head,shrugging her thoughts off.

"Class dismissed! I wish to all of you a great weekend!" the Economics teacher ended,students already making their way out of the class,some even cheering out of happiness.

Gathering her stuff back into the backpack which she slung onto her shoulder,the female was met with mesmerizing purple hues and a warm,friendly smile.

"I hope you are ready for a little bit of chat,because I'm taking you to the dorms!" the Finn spoke in a honey filled tone,making the (h/c) roll her eyes at his caring,brother like nature.

"I thought you've long finished classes Tino!" (Name) rose her eyebrow slightly,waiting for an answer.

"Well,I did! But I wanted to see you before you hit the road,because Literature students aren't as fortunate as Engineering students to have the Friday off!" Tino pouted cutely,causing the female to laugh.

"Ok,ok! Kiitos Tino!" the (nationality) female threw her hands into the air in an apologising manner,letting the boy slip his arm under hers.

~Le time skip because the Author needs some coffee and has a life too #swag~

Slipping out of the room silently,the female threw her backpack onto her shoulder,closing the door and heading outside.

The morning's fresh air hit her harshly against the face,making it almost unbreathable,but with a determined step (Name) descended the remaint stairs and headed for the bus station.

Getting there in a short period of time - mainly because it wasn't a long distance between the dorms and the station - the (h/c) got directly to the perron where the bus was going to temporary park before leaving again.

Swaying her legs back and forth while waiting,(Name) felt the phone buzz into her jeans pocket. Slipping it out,she unlocked it and read the message which left her with a small,content smile:'Have a nice road back home~ Eli'.

Typing fastly the reply,the (nationality) female placed the phone at its assigned place,eyeing the two objects in her right - a pack of cigars and a lighter - or to be precise,Allistor's favourite cancer sticks and a random given object in order to consume them.

Taking a deep breath,(Name) unwrapped the plastic and took one white stick in her palm. Examining it for a little,she placed it in between her lips,the foreign feeling of the smooth material making things quite tense and new. Lighting the end of the cigar with the aid of a swift movement of the object,the stick suddenly warmed up,gaining an orangey color as the nicotine slowly consumed.

Why Allistor liked these was above her level of comprehension - but (Name) wanted to discover more about him,even if it meant trying the bitter smoke onto her tongue.

Halfway through the cigar,the sight of a pale porcelain face on which was crossed both concern and amusement,caused the female to stop her action and have her whole attention upon the male.

"Allistor,what are you...?" (Name) started,but hadn't got the chance to continue,as his pale lips were pressed against hers forcefully.

Dropping the cigarette to the ground,she wrapped her arms around his neck,while his palms gently engulfed into her soft skin,bringing them two so close,yet so far for their own like.

A moment of silence was shared between the two as they've gained their breaths back. It was needed and it was better than any other reply.

"Such a waste!" Allistor decided to finally speak,eyeing the still warm stick rolling onto the ground with the wind.

"That's not important! Why are you here though?" (Name) demanded,taking a step back.

"Yer' hurting my feelings lass! I'm not going to eat ye'!" the Scottsman replied,catching the female's delicate wrist inside his calloused hand,bringing her straight into his chest.

"For ye'!I wanted to see ye' off too!" he whispered,placing his nose affectionately onto the female's head.

"Um... Thank you,I guess! For taking some of your precious time to do so!" the (h/c) awkwardly thanked,not believing her ears.

How many girls had he seen off? How many were so lucky to have kissed him? She couldn't know.

"Well,I pretty much got to go now,but I'm going to be back on Monday,so...bye!" (Name) broke away,looking at the parked bus.

Getting onto the bus,the female waved to her Scottish classmate,ready to search for her assigned place,when his voice cut through the air uncertain.

"Yer' going to come back Sunday night,aye?" he questioned,pale face seemingly pinched by cold.

"Yes. Actually,I'll be here by 7. Why?" (Name) responded,mouth forming into a small 'o'.

"'Cause I'd like to take you out to a date! A real date. No school,no nothing. Just us!" he continued,clearing his throat.

"Yeah,why not? See you on Sunday then!" the (h/c) calmly answered,though she could feel excitement rush through her whole system,while her stomach did a triple flip.

"On Sunday!" Allistor repeated,waving towards the genuinely smiling female,as the bus drove off.

'This is a good start after all,isn't it? Oh,look how pretty the leaves are. So red... Just like his hair...'.
