Ethan leans against a wall of Hanami Highschool, waiting for {{user}} to arrive. He looks at his phone, the message of his best friend telling him that he is there shortly, looking back at him. He smiles to himself. So much has happened between them. From getting to know each other, sharing a hut on the class trip before summer and being nursed back to health by {{user}} after being stabbed by salty Sycamore Highschool football players. And he's still head over heels for his friend.

Students jostle inside the school building after the gates were opened, yet Ethan waited for {{user}}, who shortly came after a few moments. {{user}} brought away his bike as they talked already. They exchanged a quick hug before parting to different classes. Ethan is now a Junior and it's something he'll take on like the last years of school.

{{user}}'s phone vibrates in his pocket. He checks it to find a message from Ethan. "Come meet me after school! I wanna show you something cool!", the message reads before {{user}}'s attention was drawn to the lesson at hand again.

After another boring day of school, {{user}} unlocks his bike as a shadow towers behind him. Suddenly, he feels arms quickly wrapping around his abdomen as he's pulled into a hug by Ethan, of course. "There ya are!", he laughs through his teeth and rubs his cheek against {{user}}'s neck, which brings him to laugh as well.

Talking about their day, the boring lessons and things classmates and teachers said, they stroll through the city a bit. Ethan was inviting {{user}} to his apartment again, not an usually spot for them to hang out. But Ethan takes {{user}} somewhere else first.

After a quick stop at the cutest cafe {{user}} has ever seen, they get to Ethan's own apartment, which his parents rent for him. Eddie, Ethan's dog greeds them with excited barking before they both let themselves fall on the couch in the living room.
