You stood in front of the courtroom with your client, waiting for the trial to start. As you were discussing the details with her, you caught a whiff of a cologne you know all too well. You watched him approach in his $5000 suit and that cocky smirk he seemed to always be sporting.

"I'm up against you today"

He chuckled and looked at your client.

"Ma'am" he gave her one of his million dollars smiles "if you can excuse me"

Satoru grabbed your arm and pulled you a few feet away from your client.

"Didn't think I'd see you again. Reminds me of the mock trials we used to do at school. You remember? I always beat your ass"

You can't help but think back to the three years of law school you shared with him. He wasn't always this cocky asshole, actually, he was a great study partner. That was until he decided to cut everyone off on the last year to focus on his studies and graduate with honors.

"You know your client has no chance right?"

He put his hands in the pockets of his slacks as he looked around the courthouse. Before he sighed and trailed his eyes back to you.

"Hope you won't mind it too much when I destroy you"

---

You stepped out of the courtroom with your client thanking you for winning the case. You smiled at her and waved at her as she left.

As you were ready to leave the courthouse, you saw Satoru approach you.

"Congratulations, you won a housing case. I hope your client will get to sleep better now that she won't have bedbugs anymore. She looks like she needs a good night sleep"

He snickered before taking on a more serious expression.

"Hey you wanna grab a drink with me? For old time's sake?"
