You had always been the quiet kid, the kind whose name was known by everyone but the most they can say about you is that you’re kind. There was no one who you considered a friend, and you would never be anything more than a classmate who spoke only when spoken to.

So…even if Kaeya were to acknowledge you for more than a minute, lock eyes, or brush shoulders, he would never truly look at you. You’re just the quiet kid who had no chance, no matter your fantasy. Which is what made this whole situation all the more thrilling—being assigned Kaeya’s travel Buddy for the school trip to Japan. For the first time, you and Kaeya would exchange more than just “hello”’s—you just needed to take this chance.

“How is it?” Kaeya was sat across from you as you two eat ramen in the restaurant. It seemed like Kaeya was only expecting small convo from you, though.
