"What do you think of law study now that you gave it a try?" Shuichi asked, chuckling a little to himself. You simply pouted, crossing your arms.

"I feel like I'm gonna fail that class! Mr. Brown is such a meanieee!" You whined like a child, looking up at Shuichi.

"Calm down... I can help you," Shuichi offered, making you gasp with happiness and a little bit of excitement.

"Really?!" You felt your hands start to rub themselves together out of happiness, and when Shuichi nodded you couldn't help but squeal a little, "Oh my gosh, THANK YOU!!"

"It's... not that big of a deal," Shuichi chuckled a little at your childish behavior. You suddenly let out a gasp, quickly pulling out your phone.

"Wait! Ahh... I knew it! My next class is in like half an hour... eh? Homeroom? Sorted by major... science and criminal justice based majors? Wait... does that mean we might have the same homeroom too?" You asked, showing Shuichi your schedule and pointing to the class you were talking about. Shuichi took the piece of paper containing his schedule from his pocket to check.

"Ah... yep. We have the same homeroom," Shuichi nodded, showing you his schedule as well.

"Damn, two shared classes back to back... Well, it's easier to suffer with a friend than alone," You laughed a little as Shuichi put his schedule away.

"Yeah. Do you want to walk together?" Shuichi suggested, and you shrugged.

"Sure, why not? We're going to the same place anyway," You giggled a little, and the two of you started leaving the building. However, when the two of you got to the lobby, you noticed that it had begun to rain, and rather harshly too. You groaned since you didn't have much to protect you from the rain and you figured you'd probably have to run through the rain to prevent getting drenched as much as possible, "You're kidding me... it's raining?! But the sky was so clear all day..."

"Ah, hold on. My umbrella's a little small since it's mostly meant for one person, but we can try to squeeze in together," Shuichi offered, taking off his backpack and starting to search through the contents.

"For one, why do you casually have an umbrella? And two, if it prevents me from getting drenched, count me in!" You laughed to yourself as you watched Shuichi finally find his umbrella, though he only opened it once the two of you were outside.

"Well... it never hurts to be prepa-"

"Ah! Please wait!" a loud, somewhat high pitch voice called. It wasn't a bad high pitch though, it was actually a very smooth and buttery voice. You and Shuichi whirled around in the direction of the shout to see a boy with hair similar to Shuichi's but without an ahoge and a little more blue running up to the two of you. He wore a very fancy suit that looked incredibly expensive with a red bowtie that also looked very neat. His entire appearance {other than the fact he'd just ran} was incredibly professional, and once he'd caught up to the two of you and caught his breath, his posture and body language also became professional, "My apologies for conducting myself so inappropriately and for making the two of you wait, but I have a selfish request to make..."

"What is it?" Shuichi asked, clearly hoping there was some way he would be able to help the odd stranger. Another thing you noticed but tried not to make verbal note of was how tall the stranger was! It wouldn't surprise you if he was at least six feet tall!

"It would be a huge favor to me if you would give me the privilege to walk under your umbrella with you, if we're going to the same place for at least a part of the way," the stranger awkwardly scratched the back of his head, clearly a little nervous to be asking for a favor of a complete stranger.

"We're heading to the science department. What about you?" You prompted. The stranger gave off this huge aura of being polite and being really nice, and you genuinely wanted to help him because of it.

"Oh, I'm heading to the science department too!" the stranger slightly gasped, surprised at the fact the three of you were all headed towards the same building. Shuichi motioned for the stranger to get under the umbrella, and although it was very crowded and all of you still had a little rain fall on you because the umbrella was too small for three people, it was much better than getting completely drenched.

"So uh... what's your name?" Shuichi sort of awkwardly questioned, trying to break the ice and the uncomfortable silence.

"Oh no! My apologies for being so rude and not introducing myself! My name is Simon Beamte, and I'm the Ultimate Lawyer," the stranger, apparently Simon, introduced himself courteously, "If I may ask... what are your names?"

"I'm Shuichi Saihara, the Ultimate Detective," Shuichi introduced himself.

"And... I'm (Y/N) (L/N), the Ultimate Forensic Scientist," You introduced yourself as well, "Wait... Ultimate Lawyer would be criminal justice based, right? Are you heading to homeroom?"

"Yes, I am," Simon was clearly even more surprised at the fact the three of you had the same class {unless there was another homeroom class going on for some reason}. What were the odds of running into someone else going to the same class as you?

"Wow, what a coincidence," You laughed a bit, not wanting the conversation to suddenly die now because it would be awkward. Plus, you were getting interested in learning more about the lawyer because he seemed really nice. Hoping to keep the conversation going, you added, "Y'know... I always expected an Ultimate Lawyer would be really uptight or something. But you're like super nice!"

"Ah, really? Thank you! I just... really think it's important to be kind to others," Simon blushed a little bit from your compliment and scratched the back of his head, clearly feeling flattered by your compliment. You'd be lying if you said it wasn't cute.

"Well, being nice to others can have a lot of benefits," Shuichi chuckled a little, a smile on his face. You got the feeling that Simon and Shuichi would be really good friends since they both seemed really wholesome. You giggled to yourself at that thought, choosing to just eavesdrop on their conversation and watch them hopefully become friends.

"Well, of course! It makes everyone happy and it doesn't cost anything. Oh, we're here! Thank you so much for allowing me to stay under your umbrella!" Simon's smile grew wider, and as a polite gesture he opened the door to the science department for the two of you, "Here."

"Thank you," Shuichi giggled a little, collapsing the umbrella as you and him walked in, Simon following after holding the door just a little longer to let another person in. He really was a gentleman. This man was the definition of chivalry!

"Oh, hold on, lemme fetch the directions to the class from my phone," You held up your finger to signal to Shuichi and Simon to wait a second, and you took out your phone. It only took a few seconds until the directions to your homeroom class were open and you started directing the two of them to the classroom. Since it was in room 1136 it was on the first floor, so it didn't take too long for you to get there.

"Ah, room number 1136! Thank you so much for helping us," Simon bowed as a courtesy, a small smile on his face as he did. You felt kind of flattered from the gesture since nobody had really bowed at you before.

"Um... y-you don't need to bow, it's not that big of a deal," You awkwardly laughed, hoping you didn't make Simon feel bad or anything. However, when you saw his smile only grow wider, you realized he'd probably heard that a lot. How did this guy have manners all the time?!

"It's not a big deal, but it still deserves gratitude," Simon simply explained himself with a shrug, opening the door for both you and Shuichi, "Lady and gentleman first."

You and Shuichi both felt a little baffled, but you both walked inside the classroom. Simon followed once the two of you were inside, the door softly shutting behind him as he prevented the classroom door from loudly shutting.

"Well... do you want to sit together like we did in law study?" Shuichi asked a little awkwardly, making you let out a giggle.

"Uh, yeah. There's like, a ton of people in here and it makes me feel really awkward!" You whispered the last part so only Shuichi and maybe Simon could hear it, making Shuichi let out a small chuckle of his own.

"Hehe... yeah," Shuichi agreed quietly, turning to Simon, "Hey, since you've been really nice... do you wanna sit with us?"

"Oh, are you sure I can sit with the two of you?" Simon hesitated a little, though he showed no outward signs of being nervous. He did seem a little... worried? It was a little hard to describe it.

"Yeah, you're pretty chill," You chuckled a little, nudging Simon's arm just a little. His slightly uncertain facial expression quickly turned a smile at your comment.

"Well, if you two both want me to, then okay!" Simon practically beamed, and you and Shuichi couldn't help but return smiles of your own. The three of you looked around for somewhere to sit before you found a completely empty table. Each table had four seats, so there was an empty seat. Shuichi and Simon sat next to each other and to your side was the empty seat. You opened your mouth to speak, but before you could the chair next to you suddenly came flying back as a certain biologist eagerly sat in it.

"Hey hotties~" Charles winked, making you internally cringe as you remembered when you fell and he tried to handcuff you just earlier today. Of course, since this was for science based majors he would be here too...

"...Hi," You greeted through gritted teeth, not wanting to cause a scene.

"Oh, hello! If it may not be too rude for me to ask, who are you?" Simon asked in his cheerful tone. Was he just trying to be polite or did he not see how uncomfortable you were? Maybe he wanted to give Charles a chance since he clearly didn't know anything about him? Shuichi, on the other hand, noticed how uncomfortable you were. He only gave you a sympathetic gaze, but that was enough for you to know that at least someone noticed.

"I'm Charles Rostock, the Ultimate Biologist! What's your name, cutie pie~? Charles smirked, leaning forwards on the table just a little. He used his arm to prop up his head, his elbow firmly pressed to the table. He flashed a flirtatious look towards the unsuspecting lawyer that you had to admit did look kind of hot, but considering the earlier events you couldn't feel anything but disgust. God... why did such a disgusting pervert have to be visually appealing with a voice smooth as butter? He deserved to be just as ugly on the outside as he was on the inside.

"I'm Simon Beamte, the Ultimate Lawyers. It's nice to meet you," Simon reached his hand out for a handshake, which Charles accepted. The two shared a brief but firm handshake before pulling away, Simon forever having that polite smile on his face. At this point, you hoped it was a fake smile because Charles was still creeping you out.

"Ahh~! Daddy, c'mere~!!" Charles suddenly loudly moaned, making wild gestures towards the direction of the door. Before you even looked over to confirm it, you already knew that Henry had entered the room. He'd been reading from a different textbook than the one you saw him reading earlier today, but upon hearing Charles loudly call him daddy his fingers twitched, almost dropping the heavy book. However, he quickly saved it by propping it up on his thigh, having no trouble balancing on one foot as he calmly placed the bookmark in his textbook so he could walk around with it closed. Once Henry had secured the textbook, he shifted his attention to Charles. Upon seeing that the table of four was already full, an emotion seemed to gloss over his face for just a second.

"The table is already full," Henry blandly stated. Charles just giggled and wasted no time in taking a chair from a neighboring table, placing it by his seat on the other edge of the table.

"No it's not~" Charles smirked, winking and even blowing a kiss to Henry. He only blinked as his version of a response before making his way to your table. He sat down in the chair, clearly a little hesitant. You couldn't blame him, to be honest.

"Oh! Simon, you haven't met Henry, right?" You butted into the conversation, not wanting to make Henry uncomfortable by Charles's very existence. He probably already had to deal with Charles all the time, so a small break would help him out just a little, right?

"No, I have not. Would you like to introduce yourself?" Simon politely smiled at Henry, who was already opening his textbook again. Upon noticing that Simon was speaking to him, he started speaking without even looking up.

"Henry Rostock. Ultimate Chemist. You?" Henry managed to actually sound like he was asking a question at the end, though you wondered if it was just because otherwise it'd sound like an incomplete sentence. His voice was still as emotionless as always, no inflection whatsoever in it. It was so perfectly pure from anything like misspoken words or emotions that it was as unsettling as always.

"I'm Simon Beamte, the Ultimate Lawyer! I hope we can become friends," Simon chuckled to himself just a little, holding his hand out for a handshake as he'd done with Charles earlier. Henry looked at Simon's hand for a second, and you could tell he was feeling something in this moment. What was it? What was Henry feeling? Looking closer and trying to find out what it was... you realized he was confused. Why confused?

"Why are you sticking out your hand," Henry finally met Simon's eyes, his confusion becoming just a little more apparent on his face. Wait, what?

"M-my apologies, it's customary for me to shake hands with those I meet at work and the habit has leaked into my personal life. It's okay if you feel uncomfortable shaking hands-"

"What do you mean 'shake hands.' Why would two people shake their hands with each other," Henry bluntly asked, stunning all of you into silence. Henry... didn't know what a handshake was? You knew he was kind of weird and seemed to not get some social cues, but how did he not know what a handshake was?! Surely at least for his work when collaborating with someone he'd shake their hand when they met, right?! How did he go this long in his life without at least knowing what a handshake was?!

"You... don't know what a handshake is?" Shuichi finally broke the long silence with the question that was on everyone's minds.

"You should be punished, daddy~" Charles moaned, about to get up to try to make an advance on Henry but he quickly pushed the pervert away.

"...I'm sorry. I guess I should've known," Henry sighed, abruptly standing up after that and leaving the room. Charles's entire demeanor immediately got more sexual, and he went as far as to moan for no reason!

"Charles! What the hell?!" You hissed, scooting your chair away from him. Oh, why did he have to be next to you...?

"My apologies if I started some sort of conflict... please excuse me, I will see if I can locate Henry and apologize to him," Simon curtly explained himself before slowly getting up, also leaving the room in search of Henry.

"I hope when daddy comes back that I get to rough him up all night an-" Charles never got to finish his sentence because you clapped your hand over his mouth.

"Shut up, dude. Nobody wants to hear about your weird fantasies," You cringed, feeling disgusted at the fact you had to touch him. You immediately recoiled the second you felt his tongue start to caress your hand, rubbing off the spit on the shoulder of his lab coat, "Gross!!"

"I wouldn't mind getting something more gross all over you~" Charles moaned softly, and you used your 'infected' hand to slap him. He just moaned from the pain, smirking, "Oh, so you wanna play rough~?"

"Charles... please stop. (Y/N) and I are both uncomfortable," Shuichi sighed, finally speaking up instead of just watching the extremely creepy situation play out. Charles only seemed even more turned on by that, though. You watched in near horror as his smirk got so wide it went from flirtatious to downright lustful and scary, his eyes going between you and Shuichi like he was sizing the two of you up. He seemed like a predator choosing the best prey.

"Ch-Charles...?" You felt yourself standing up and backing away slowly, not wanting to make any sudden movements to provoke him. You'd never seen anyone make such a creepy facial expression before, and when he looked at you it felt like he was mentally stripping you. You felt violated just from the way he looked at you.

"Yes, cutie~? You want me to have some fun with you~?" Charles teased with an almost twisted giggle, completely unlike before. The aura he was giving off spoke of pure danger, and you didn't want to be anywhere near him right now.

Simon suddenly walked into the classroom with Henry, and Charles's entire demeanor changed. His lustful smirk turned into a grin of an innocent child, his dangerous aura turned into a cheerful one- his body language even went from sexual to boastful! He got out of his seat, running to Henry, "Henryyy!! I'm sorryyy, I didn't mean it!!"

"...What the fuck is happening?" You blinked in complete confusion, watching the scene unfold in front of you with complete confusion. You knew that Charles had flirted with Henry, but why had he seemed so shaken up from it that time? Charles had flirted with Henry before despite the fact he was literally Henry's child, but Henry had just basically ignored him every time before.

"I have no idea, but I feel like whatever happened is impacted by something we're unaware took place," Shuichi sighed, clearly confused as well. What did that even mean, though? Was he trying to say something in Henry's or Charles's past could've caused Henry's bizarre reaction or Charles's sudden shift in mood, maybe? Whatever it was... it was clear that the two of them knew. Guess that was all that mattered to them right now.

"Stop apologizing, Charles. I'm the one who chose not to heal," Henry lightly scolded his son, though he was hugging him.

"...Breaking news, Henry's not a robot," You whispered to Shuichi, not wanting to ruin their little moment. Poor Simon was awkwardly standing off to the side, third wheeling. You wanted to say 'felt that' out loud to make him feel better.

Charles's facial expression turned into one of guilt for only a second before his perverted smirk returned, and he chuckled, "Y'know... instead of hugging me how about you pin me to the wall an-"

"Stop feeling guilty, Charles..." Henry sighed, completely cutting off Charles's sexual comment, "I'm not good with emotions so I don't know how to help you, but don't feel bad. Okay?"

"Okay, that's it. Time out, one of you please explain what the fuck is going on!" You hissed, not caring if you were breaking up their wholesome moment. The urge to know what they were even talking about was killing you on the inside!

Henry and Charles froze up before Henry pulled out of the hug so he could face you properly. Though you could tell he was trying to hide it, the tiniest smirk made its way to his face and with confidence he spoke, "That's classified."
