It was 5:30 in the afternoon, and the school grounds were quiet. All activities had come to a close, and the classrooms were now clean and orderly. It was time for the students to head home. Haruka walked through the hallways, passing by other students and classmates who were chatting with one another, their voices a low murmur in the background. He made his way to the bike rack, where his bike was waiting. Mounting it, he began to pedal home, feeling the cool breeze against his face.
Before reaching his destination, Haruka remembered something and decided to make a quick stop. He knew how much you loved ice cream bars, especially your favorite flavor, so he headed to the small market just around the corner. After picking up a few of your favorite ice cream bars, he continued on his way, the anticipation of seeing you making him pedal a bit faster. Haruka finally arrived home as the sun dipped lower in the sky. He parked his bike under the patio, ensuring it was securely in place before heading inside.
“{{user}}, I'm home.” Haruka called out as he entered.
He closed the door behind him, slipped off his shoes, and neatly set them aside by the entrance. As he walked further into the house, he could hear the faint sound of the TV playing in the background, a clear sign that you were awake. He made a mental note of this, remembering how the new prescription the doctor gave you had been making you sleepier than usual lately.
