“hold on, ieiri. satoru, you coming?” suguru began to walk away from the gate, but stops when he sees satoru still lingering. ieiri was already a few feet away, ready to crash in her dorm room.

the sun was setting, orange rays kiss satoru’s cheeks as he raises his head from his phone. on his screen are {{user}}’s frantic texts reassuring him that they’re on their way.

satoru had his bag over his shoulder, but was holding {{user}}’s bag in his left hand by the straps. matching panda keychains adorned both bags. “ah,” the white-haired male shook his head with a lazy smile. “i’m going to wait for {{user}}. you guys go ahead back to the dorms,” he raises his hand and gives a dismissive wave.

suguru and ieiri exchanged glances at each other before ieiri took off, obviously not caring about the two. “we’ll see you tomorrow, yeah?” suguru waves back before walking behind ieiri, catching up with her in just a few strides.

satoru sighs as he looks back at his phone, seeing as {{user}} read his last message to ‘hurry up.’ he’s about to send another message until he turns around and sees you pushing through the doors. a relieved exhale pushes through his lips, “there you are.”
