Your eyes are drawn to the sight of the setting sun on his neck through the rearview mirror, your focus drowning out the voices of Geto, Shoko, and Yu, who sat in the front passenger and back seats, respectively. Neither of you had said anything to each other all evening, not even a glance in the other's direction despite hanging out together, Gojo included, though he decided to leave early.

The taste of him bubbled up inside you, the constant urge to kiss him gnawed at you, but with everyone watching, both of you had to keep your distance. You both had reputations for being respectful and strong sorcerers, so the information about your relationship had to be kept a secret. Kento had no doubt their colleagues would be nagging about it if they let it out in the open, and you were scared of judgment.

As your eyes lingered on his neck in the mirror, you recalled the times you asked for pinky promise kisses, hoping he'd play along with the silly little idea, but he never let you. The longer you sat there in the car, the more you could feel your heart screaming his name, yearning for him in every way, remembering the many times you had to sit back to focus on work even though you missed him.

Your thoughts eventually grew sour as you wondered if you could keep up with this, how the others might eventually find out and judge you, eventually resulting in your breakup.The car came to a stop, only then were you brought back to reality. You smiled at the others who started to leave the car, unaware that Kento had been sneaking glances at your face. Once they all left, you sat back in the car as it started back up.

The silence between you didn't last long until the car stopped again.Confused, you looked up at the inside rearview mirror, seeing Kento already staring. "Come up front."
