Oh? Pulling a girl's hair? The hairs on the back of Hayato's neck bristled at the idea, and what annoyed him even more was the realization that he'd run into the trio earlier. Their triplet act had creeped him out earlier, what with talking in consequence and unison and whatnot, but now that Hayato understood that they were creepy because they were douchebags, he wanted to headbutt them, too. 

His attention was distracted by another of Nanase-san's wordless commentary, both he and Aoi turning to glance at the nurse, Hayato in the better position to see how the older woman was trying to hold in her laughter and keep a straight face. At the return of the president's voice, the silver haired student returned his gaze, nodding at the explanation. Well, he knew now who to bump into in the hallway. A grin appeared on his face when Aoi commented with a smug smirk, "I probably did some real damage to him if I ended up like this." He decided not to say anything regarding his run-in with the triplets, considering he didn't know which of them had been the one with the piercing and if any of them had been hurt. Admittedly, Hayato had been too busy finger-gunning and backpedalling it out of there to make any observations. 

"You're rather friendly, Arashi-san," Aoi seemed to say in a low voice as her eyes met with Hayato's curious ones. He laughed at her additional comment, interjecting with a, "Thank you, I think? I think I might be annoying in my own way, though." His voice was caked with childish pride, as though egging the student council president to say otherwise. And it was true, Hayato really was annoying in his own way- especially to hardworking students considering how Hayato did a lot of things with ease.

The two shared a comfortable silence, Hayato gazing into Aoi's eyes, realizing that they looked straight at him but at the same time seemed so far away. What was she thinking? Or, perhaps, she'd already fallen asleep? As expected of the school's (ex)number one, she was able to sleep with her eyes open-

"Sorry for yelling at you earlier."

It had been so soft, the transfer almost missed it in the middle of his thinking. He stared, slack faced and a bit late in his shocked reply, watching as Aoi turned her back to him. "Ah.. eh?" was all he managed to say at first before he smiled. Oh gosh, she really was too cute! It was like straight out of a manga, he swore, and Aoi was a total tsundere! "Ahhh," sighed Hayato happily as he reached over and enveloped the girl in an overly enthusiastic hug, "It's okaay~!! I'm so sorry for beating you during tests~~!!" 

"Oi," called out Nanase, annoyed, "No flirting in my office, Hayato. And stop suffocating the injured girl, I swear- get out of here since you seem perfectly healthy!" 

With a swift kick Hayato was suddenly outside of the Infirmary doors, bag in hand. Kiriyama Aoi. He grinned to himself as he practically skipped down the hallway- seems as though he'd found a fun new friend to play around with.
