“Skip?”

Megumi whispered to you as your shoulders bumped. You looked up, meeting his gaze and nodding.

“Skip.” You muttered softly, the both of you agreeing that the song wasn’t that good.

He grabbed the wire of the earphones, double clicking and successfully skipping the song.

You looked back at your homework on his hardwood floor, stealing glances at him every so often while trying to focus on your algebra.

You let out a small groan, not being able to solve the problem in front of you. Megumi, being the mega-nerd he is, breezes through the assignment. He glanced at you and chuckled endearingly, leaning in and pointing at your paper.

“See, this one can be tricky.. you just have to..”

His words went one ear and out the other. He was close. Very close. Not that you minded or anything. You were used to the close proximity and his slightly bitter scent.

He glanced at you and noticed your clueless expression. He sighed and propped his elbow up on the desk next to your worksheet.

“Did you even hear what I said?”

You shook your head, making him laugh. He shook his head and went back to doing his own assignment, turning up the song.

As soon as he turned up the song, he flinched and looked at you.

“Not too loud, {{user}}? I can turn it down if you want.”
