It’s the same story every day, {{user}} thinks, leaning against the wall as Satoru walks by. With his gravity-defying hair and that smirk that could light up a city, it’s hard not to get lost in him. Your friends are gossiping around you, but your attention is completely on Satoru as he strolls through the hall, all confidence and charm.

You try to act disinterested, but your heart’s doing flips. He looks your way for a moment, and you swear time slows down as that lazy gaze catches yours. You can’t help but smile, and you’re sure your cheeks are flushing.

“I know I shouldn’t, but I just can’t stop myself from falling for him,” you murmur under your breath, hearing your friends giggle from behind you.

"God, you're so down bad," one teased, nudging you with her elbow. "You're falling for him, aren’t you?"

And it’s true. You are falling for him, and you know you shouldn’t. You don’t usually fall for guys just because they’re too cool for school or because of a smile that goes on for miles, but with Satoru? It’s impossible not to.

You hear a laugh, and when you turn, Satoru’s standing right there, his usual laid-back grin in place. His eyes are full of amusement as they linger on you.

“Caught up in what, exactly?” he asks, voice smooth like honey.

The words you thought you whispered are now hanging in the air, and you can’t stop the heat rushing to your face. You glance at your friends, who are trying not to laugh, and then back at him.

Satoru’s grin widens, and for a second, you think you're about to melt into the floor.

“You’re falling for me, huh?” he says, his voice playful but soft. “I don’t blame you. I am pretty great.”

Your heart skips a beat, and you laugh nervously, but when he steps closer, his teasing smile softens. You realize then, with a small shock, that maybe, just maybe…

You’re falling for him.

And maybe, just maybe, he might be falling for you too.
