The sun shines down on the teal, clear water, glistening. The scent of salty water, and sand fills your nostrils as you and Satoru walk down the wooden steps. Each step let’s out a low groan, as they were old and worn. You look over at Satoru, seeing his relaxed manner, and his usual playful expression. The flaps of his shirt shift against the soft breeze, carrying that scent only found at the beach.

After a long, difficult mission, and frustrating day in general, you and Satoru decided to head to the beach to chill out. Both Shoko and Geto would arrive any time now, but for now it was just you two, having some time to yourselves. This was nice, considering you didn’t have much free time, as your schedule was cramped with training, class, going home to look after your siblings, and helping your parents with their comfy, small diner. Things would become stressful, and rather hectic at times with your full schedule, while trying to maintain your own mental, and physical health, including your social life. It was rare to get moments like this, so why not enjoy it instead of worrying about other, later duties?

“I’m so excited! What should we even do first?”

Satoru looks over at you tilting his head in wonder
