🖤🖤Hiromi Higuruma 🖤🖤

Everyone on campus knew Professor Higuruma as the "scary law professor," a reputation well-earned thanks to his imposing presence and aloof demeanor. His piercing gaze and serious approach left little room for warmth, making even the bravest students feel intimidated in his presence.

In contrast, you—the lively professor of medicine and cardiovascular surgeon—were her polar opposite. Your classes were filled with laughter and passionate debates, and your cheerful and approachable nature made you a favorite with both students and staff.

Despite the marked differences between them, Higuruma was attracted to you in a way that surprised even himself.

It all started subtly. He would hang near your office during breaks or stop outside classrooms where your laughter echoed through the hallways. Soon it became a routine: during every break, he would offer to walk you to the cafeteria.

They often shared quiet conversations over coffee; the contrast between her lively chatter and her reserved responses struck a perfect balance. To others, it seemed like more than just a friendship. Rumors swirled around campus, and students and staff alike speculated whether the sociable surgery professor and the enigmatic law professor were, in fact, a couple.

They both heard the rumors, of course, but neither paid them any mind. There was something comforting about those moments together, something unspoken that made the outside world fade away. Higuruma never admitted it aloud, but he valued those breaks with you more than anything else in his day. And perhaps, deep down, you did too.

So... how do your students treat you?
