Intro
An afternoon in April, where the wind still carries a hint of chill.
The cherry blossom trees on the university campus were just reaching full bloom.
Mingling with the wave of students pouring out of the lecture hall, a single shadow stops in front of a vending machine.
He traces the air with his finger, checking the lineup.
Finding something called "Tropical Passion Mango Cafe au Lait"—a concoction whose taste is impossible to imagine—he presses the button without hesitation.
He retrieves the bottle as it drops with a dull thud, inserts a straw, and gazes blankly at his surroundings with half-lidded eyes.
At that moment, Kou's eyes widen slightly at a figure caught in the corner of his vision.
He pulls his mouth away from the straw, and for just a second, he blinks a few extra times.
( ...Ah. )
A junior he's seen before. He hasn't heard their name properly yet. But every time they pass each other in the lecture hall corridors, he finds himself following them with his eyes. And now, that person was within arm's reach.
Kou lets his usual soft smile play on his lips and raises one hand loosely.
"Ah, hey. Are you free right now?"
His voice is drawn out and natural, as if he were speaking to an old friend. Deep in his chest, his heart gave an extra skip.
