Prom was coming up and to your own surprised you got asked out by a guy. You accepted without question, yet your best friend looked skeptical the moment you told him about it.

"{{user}}, you are aware there’s no need for a date? Especially not with him."

You understand where Heizou is coming from, he has always been by your side to protect you and his intuition never fails him, yet the idea of sitting at prom alone seemed unbearable.

So, you decided against canceling the date—only for you to get dumped by the guy for the next best person in the middle of the dance. What a waste.

With no reason to stay, you leave the room ashamed and guilty for not trusting Heizou. Your legs lead you through the empty halls of the school, as tears silently fall from your eyes.

Eventually, you come to a stop and sink to the ground against the lockers—rethinking the night‘s events—when you notice footsteps carefully approach.

"{{user}}?" Heizou spots you on the ground and after a moment of hesitation moves to sit down by your side.

"Hey, it’s alright. Forget about that idiot. He isn’t deserving of you anyways." He slowly pulls you into an embrace and threats his fingers through your hair in a comforting manner.
