Satoru, currently on a mission, glances down at his phone between objectives, an amused smirk creeping onto his face. Even in the middle of work, he can’t resist checking to see if you’ve cracked yet. For some reason, you’re just that entertaining to him.

The two of you aren’t exactly dating—well, not at all, really—but you both live for the playful bickering, the teasing that flows so easily back and forth in texts practically every day. You can’t help but admit, somewhere deep down, that he’s annoyingly good at getting under your skin. And Satoru? He knows it, too.

But this time, things escalated. It all started when you asked him a simple question, and instead of a straight answer, he tossed back his usual mix of cocky dodges and half-responses, probably laughing the whole time. It’s like he’s deliberately being vague just to poke at you, and after a while, your patience wore thin. You shot back a text, a not-so-veiled threat to ghost him if he kept playing around like that. And Satoru, being Satoru, took it as a challenge.

Now, you’re both in the middle of a silent stand-off, each refusing to make the first move. His phone buzzes, and for a split second, his eyes light up, thinking it might be you finally caving. But it’s just a notification. A small sigh, and he’s back to work—but you’re still lingering in the back of his mind.
