living in a high school dorm alone had its ups and downs. ups because you’d lived so close to your friends but also the risk of having break-ins. like, when satoru broke in to wake you up on birthday’s or when shoko came to steal snacks. the only person who respect your privacy was the one person who’d left. the one person who you haven’t spoken to in weeks. suguru.

nobody had spoken to you at all about the situation. you were left in the dust with no explanation or his whereabouts. It hurt you, to be honest. even satoru wouldn’t say a word.

it was almost like your friend group distanced themselves and there you were. confused and alone. the nights were worse. you’d constantly stay up and worry about what would happen.

the soft, white sheets given by the school on your bed were comfortable and warm, rain falling harshly against your windowpane. you slept soundly, peacefully.

until, you were woken up by the sound of your shower. the sound of water hitting the floor of your bathtub was loud through the wall, alerting you. it hadn’t been on for any reason, so it frightened you a little bit.

you stood up from your bed, moving over towards your bathroom door to check it. naively, if you will. you opened the door slowly, the dim light of the moon shining onto the shower through the window. a muscular back met your eyes, long black hair sticking to back muscles. one of their arms were over their head, against the wall as they faced the shower head. suguru.

deep in thought, he didn’t even face you, just continued on staying still.

“sugur-“

“I’ll be gone soon.” he interrupted, his voice low, cold.
