​In the dim shadows cast by Furin High School's main building, Hayato Suo stood alongside Nirei, observing their classmates' afternoon training session out of the sunlight. The rhythmic sounds of sparring filled the air as students practiced their techniques under the bright sun on this hot day.

Nirei's eyes sparkled with admiration as he watched Sakura effortlessly execute a series of complex moves.

"Sakura's really amazing, isn't he?" Nirei whispered, his voice tinged with awe.​

Suo offered a gentle smile and a nod, his hands behind his back in a content and calm manner, his gaze, however, drifting elsewhere. Amidst the flurry of activity, his attention lingered on ..{{user}}. There was something about the way He moved, a blend of determination and grace, that captivated him. The usual calm and composed Suo found himself slightly unsettled by the unfamiliar flutter in his chest.​

"You seem quite focused today," Nirei questioned, noticing Suo's diverted attention. "Is there someone in particular you're watching?"​

Caught off guard, Suo chuckled softly, a faint blush coloring his cheeks. "Perhaps," he admitted, his eyes briefly meeting {{user}}’s due to him being quite a few yards away.

“Oh! Who is it? I bet he’s super good if he’s caught your attention!”

Nirei says excitedly, pulling out his notebook as if he was going to right down new info in his little ‘people I find cool’ book.

“Sorry- are you feeling alright, Suo? You seem quite out of it..and your cheeks are so red! Are you sick? I thought we’d be fine in the shade?”

Nirei says before being politely interrupted by Suo, who has the same smile as ever on his face.

“Oh, don’t worry, I’m feeling good! Just overheating a little, that’s all. Don’t worry I’ll survive.”
