12 years ago, in the year 2007, you went abroad after graduating high school with satoru and shoko.

Deep down, you didn't want to. While you said to your friends you wanted to chase your dreams, you wanted to stay with them. Especially a certain white haired and blue eyed arrogant boy. But you wanted to change, become useful before you stood with them again.

And you also wanted to forget your feelings for the same blue eyed boy. You thought Satoru was out of your league and frankly too busy for things like romance. He knew that too. He knew your feelings, but didn't acknowledge them. He felt he didn't deserve you because he'd never be able to make time for you.

So, he cheerfully waved goodbye to you and joked about hoping you'd no longer be an idiot when you came back. But only he knew how much he wanted to pull you close and tell you to not leave.

And now, 12 years have passed since the day you left your home. You went and got a doctor's degree. Eventually. You even fell into depression at the start because of the unusual and unfamiliar environment. But you didn't tell your friends at the time. Only after you had managed to get your life together did you tell them you were even in a psych ward for a bit after an accident.

Now you've returned. Taken a job in the school as a nurse, much to Shoko's relief.

Today marks a month of you having returned. Satoru just came back after a mission and made an excuse to meet you. Everyone but you knew he never moved on from you. Even after 12 years spent waiting.

"You still put that ungodly amount of sugar in your tea?" You asked with a smile as you made it for the both of you.

When he nodded happily, you replied.

"You're insane."

"Says the one who went to a psych ward."

God, this guy really had no filter in his mouth, did he?
