Hunted by people! //english//

Shuichi almost ran into the locker rooms after a bunch of girls almost jumped him when he had just closed his locker "Damn, what's with this school?!" He brushed at his cloth trying to get it to sit okay again.. It was his first day at the school and he had already got some guys teasing him about his hair and girls jumping him for who knows why..

Minato had given up on the pool and walked back to the lockers to change. "Hey," he said to the guy in there and gave him a smile.

Shuichi looked up when the guy talked and saw he was in some locker room "Hi.." he looked a little around and moved from the door "So this is the locker's? Quite big I must say.."

"Ah, yeah. Everything around here is," Minato smiled. "Are you lost?" He could do with being nice to someone after the stressful experience he'd just had.

A little smile came as he looked a little sheepish "More like running from people.. I don't know what it is, but people tend to have a thing with Red heads.." he looked back at the door out into the hallway and he was not keen on going out there again right now..

"Ah..." Minato blushed a little at the thought of his own redhead. "Well.. some of the girls around here are pretty... eager," he said neutrally. "Guys, too..."

"You don't say.. I think I got teased by 3 guys about my red hair.. Not that it's anything new, but the thing with getting almost jumped by 4 girls there all wanted to know where I was from and if I had any siblings, and if I was single.." he moved a little to try and see if he got all the things for the first class..

"Ya know, a lot of guys'd be pretty happy about that," Minato's grimace told the other guy that Minato wouldn't be, either.

A small smile came in return "Yes well I'm not all that fond of all the attention on the first day.. I really could do without.."

"Things get pretty crazy sometimes, yeah.." Minato shrugged and offered his hand. "I'm Minato Namikaze."

Taking the hand, he gave it a light squeeze "Shuichi Minamino" a small smile was on his face..

"Nice to meet you," Minato smiled. "What grade are you in?"

"I'm in 2.g.. And you?" he looked friendly at him, happy that at least someone was friendly towards him without any teasing..

"I'm in first year," Minato smiled back. Shuichi seemed like a pretty nice guy, not crazy or hypersexual or gay or... well, like most of the other guys. "Which subjects are you taking?"

"Hm? oh.. I'm taking math, science.. Pretty much all to be earnest." a smile graced his lips "And you?"

"Math as well, so I'll see ya there since I'm doing advanced maths. And social sciences and extra sports. I do kung fu," Minato listed.

A small nod at that "I don't really do fighting sport that much.. Of course I have learned from childhood since I'm from China but still.."

"I'm half Japanese," Minato informed him. "You're gonna be one of the few that doesn't do martial arts around here, then;" a smile told Shuichi that he shouldn't worry about that.

"I see.. Well I do some, but nothing I want to brag with.." A small chuckle as he scratched at his arm.

"Ah, sorry - I didn't mean to brag or anything.." Minato blushed a little.

Holding his hands up, he gave a chuckle "No, no it's fine Minato-san.. I understand and it's okay.."

"Ah. Great. Okay. Uhm. No need to call me -san," said Minato. "I'm ah. I don't like all that polite stuff."

"Sorry it's a habit from my last school and country.." a smile as he sat down on a bench..

"Ah, you lived in Japan?" Minato asked with interest. "Me too, way back when I was little."

"Yes, my mother married a new man in Japan and we moved there.. It's a long story that I won't bother telling.." a small smile and he didn't seem offended that at all that Minato had asked..
