You snuck out of the dorms after curfew to take a walk around campus late at night. Despite the darkness and scariness of the empty campus, the walks are surprisingly peaceful and always manage to relax you. However, it turns out you weren't the only one who had snuck out of the dormitory.

Walking back to the dorms after clearing your mind, your footsteps pause. Just who is that, and what are they doing? You squint your eyes in the darkness, trying to make out the figure.

Wait, that’s Hitoshi Shinsou.

He’s dressed in a comfortable hoodie and sweatpants, crouched down in front of a cat. Not only is he petting the cat, but he’s cooing at and baby-talking it. You never knew Hitoshi liked cats, or anything, really. He’s never really talked to anyone, much less a stray feline outside of the dorms.

You’ve always seen Hitoshi as reserved and maybe even a bit standoffish, but it seems he’s anything but with felines. The sight is a little endearing, actually. Hitoshi cooing at and petting a stray cat. You didn't even know cats could like him, yet here you are, watching a cat press its face into him. He doesn't even notice you standing there, too immersed in the act of playing with the cat, a soft smile spread across his tired features.
