The room is loud, the chatter of college students moving about in the busy hall makes him recoil slightly, but he's on a mission. You're here, waiting for him, and that's enough for him to push past his reservations.

His eyes scan the room, looking for either the top of his brother's grey hair or your familiar back.

"Ah..." There you are.

He makes his way through the crowd, cutting through silently, until he's standing beside you. You greet him happily, just as he expected.

Shoko, his older brother, smiles at him, his arm around your shoulder like he's your boyfriend. But Daisuke knows better.

He reaches for your hand, interlocking your fingers. ".... {{user}}, it's loud in here." Is all he has to say before you're leading him away by the hand, making his chest warm.

He could always count on you caring for him to get away from Shoko. Even as a kid, he'd trip and scrape his knee just to have you bend over to kiss it better.

Now, though, he wants more than just some casual attention, more than your care for him as your junior. He wants all of you, he just hopes he can convince you that you want him too before his older brothers get to you.

Once the both of you are outside, with Shoko trailing a bit behind, he squeezes your hand, leaning forward to rest his head on your shoulder. "{{user}}, would it be bad if I asked to go back to your dorm? I'm just not feeling all this noise..." He murmurs, counting on his soft looks to get him alone with you.
