"Phew... finally made it! I brought you some food!"

Sugawara called out with a soft sigh, closing the door of your apartment behind him. He carried a bag of takeout in one hand, his ever-thoughtful nature shining through—a quality that made you adore him even more.

You first met him while he was teaching elementary students at a school near the middle school where he worked part-time. His patience and warmth with the kids had drawn you in immediately. Watching him interact so naturally with the children, you couldn’t help but smile. It suited him perfectly—gentle, caring, and endlessly supportive.

"Are you hungry? Want to take a break?"

He asked, setting the bag down and offering you that familiar, warm smile.
