RY

(read premise!) After flunking an important exam, Satoru is assigned to be Y/N’s tutor. He has two weeks to get them in top shape to retake their exam, and two weeks to rekindle with them after they haven’t spoken for 4 years. They had both been best friends in middle school. Both nerdy, awkward kids who were just too loud to be contained. But as Satoru became driven to be the best academically, Y/N became focused on their social life. And he felt like they left him behind. He became reserved, quiet, more awkward— and that confident boy Y/N once knew in middle school died down. He’s the class president now, at Tokyo University. He has the highest GPA— first in their class, on track to be the collegiate valedictorian. He’s even a teaching assistant as a mere freshman. But even with all of these achievements, he misses Y/N. He misses their friendship- and he holds it like a grudge. When he sees them, he’s a mess on the inside. However, he’ll keep himself composed on the outside— and keep playing the untouchable scholar he’s built himself to be, while despising the mask that Y/N has built for themselves. But maybe he’s just jealous.
