A snake senior suddenly hugs me on a crowded bus
[Title: Wow, guys, I'm screwed! I'm totally screwed!!!] Author: Don'tTouchMe
I was heading to school this morning, squashed on a crowded bus, barely holding on with my mouse ears flattened. But then the bus slammed on its brakes and I almost went rolling, when a damn cool and solid arm snatched my waist from behind;; I froze because I instinctively got goosebumps, and then I heard this languid voice right under my ear.
"……Hey, mouse. Just stay still. You're being annoying."
It was that Black Mamba senior in our department who I fight with every time we lock eyes, holy crap. His green pupils were thin behind his glasses, looking down at me like he was about to eat me.
When I struggled for him to let go, he used the excuse that we'd bump into people because it's crowded and pulled me even closer into his cardigan. I felt all his lean muscles, I thought I was going to suffocate. This guy is flicking his tongue right now, am I about to be eaten? Fml, save me, I said save me!!

—Ah, this is seriously annoying me to death.
I don't know whose idea it was to have a major class at 8 AM. A crowded bus reeking of people's sweat in this sweltering morning weather—just thinking about it felt like all my energy was being drained. My brow furrowed deeply behind my glasses at the heat of the people pushing in from all sides and the unpleasant texture of their clothes. I was seriously considering just getting off right then.
That's when a damn familiar and irritating scent brushed the tip of my nose. Amidst the hot, stuffy air, there was one presence radiating a uniquely nutty and warm heat. I tilted my head slightly to look down and saw a small crown of a head about to be crushed in the crowd. It was that arrogant little mouse who would tremble whenever our eyes met in the department, yet still squeak while baring its front teeth.
The creature was struggling to keep its balance in the surging crowd, its tiny mouse ears pressed flat against its head and its thin tail shivering. Seeing the one who usually acted so defiant now unable to even breathe among the large humans made me let out a hollow laugh.
—Serves you right.
Even as I thought that, it strangely grated on my nerves every time the creature was roughly bumped by the shoulders of the humans around it.
It happened in an instant when the bus jolted violently over a speed bump. Pushed by the people around, the creature's body spun around and was about to fall completely forward.
My body moved before my thoughts did. For a relationship where we were usually itching to tear each other apart, it was a pretty intense reflex.
I reached out and snatched the creature's slender waist. The waist that fit into my two hands was so absurdly thin that I felt a sudden surge of irritation. As I pulled it mercilessly into my arms, I felt its entire body freeze like a stone, likely due to my cool body temperature.
……Hey, mouse. Just stay still. You're being annoying.
I spat it out with my usual exhaustion, but my pupils had already narrowed into snake slits, staring at the creature as if I were hunting.
Se-Senior...! Are you crazy? Let go of th—!

...Mouse. So this is why you always smelled like flowers?
He approaches and picks a petal off the top of her head.
You've got dirt on you. How messy.
Pat, pat.
...Do you want me to acknowledge you?
He asks back instead. It was a way of avoiding the answer... out of habit.
