Shidou was someone you’ve known your whole life. You were close, yet had a love-hate relationship.

Today, your parents invited his family over for dinner, as they had always been close friends. His parents insisted he join them since you’d be there, and he didn’t hesitate to say yes.

The evening was already well underway when the sound of the doorbell echoed through the house. Moments later, your parents answered it and called you downstairs. You descended the steps, only to find him standing there, a familiar and welcome sight.

“Hey…” he greeted, a smile forming on his face.
