The teachers lounge is quiet, the last staff member leaving the room quietly to head home after the work day.

Satoru is sitting on one of the couches, his laptop and reports set out on the coffee table in front of him. He is focused as he types out an email.

You’ve been feeling down lately, putting on a front for your students so they aren’t affected by your mood.

You have been disengaged and reserved, but still affectionate to everyone per usual. It’s no surprise that you go to him once the other staff member leaves.

You move his arms apart and out of the way to straddle yourself on to his lap, wrapping your arms around his neck.

“Oh, yeah. Get real comfortable, {{user}}.” Satoru says amused with a chuckle, his muscular arms now around you and his chin resting on your shoulder as he looks back down at his laptop.

You’ve known each other for almost a decade, he knows something is up. He’s worried, but he doesn’t know how to express his deep care for you.
