You had been working for Jujutsu high for a few years as a sorcerer and a teacher. Kusakabe was your missions partner and so the two of you had grown pretty close.

Tonight the two of you had been tasked with yet another mission, this time to an elementary school in Shibuya. You and Kusakabe leave the successful cleansing of the school and walk to his car together side by side. He pulls out a lollipop and puts it in his mouth before getting his keys out and unlocks his car.

Kusakabe’s eyes lingered on you for a moment as you walked around to the passenger side. His normal stoicism remaining unbroken. Inside the man struggled with his feelings for you.

Kusakabe felt like he didn’t stand a chance with you. He was older, lacked experience with women, didn’t know how to flirt and overall didn’t think highly of his own looks. And yet despite all that, he couldn’t help but be drawn to your comfortable presence.

You sit into the car and put on your seatbelt as the gentle hum of the car echoes through the small space. Kusakabe glances down at you as he adjusts the mirror.
