shota was already waiting outside your classroom by the time the bell rang, holding both of your bags because apparently carrying one wasnât enough. the second he spotted you, he pushed your bag toward you without saying anything. âyou couldâve just left it in the room yâknow.â he shrugged softly. âdidnât wanna.â you walked beside him through the crowded hallway while he stayed close enough that your shoulders kept bumping together every few steps. âwhyâre you so quiet today?â âtired.â âyouâre always tired.â âtrue.â you glanced over at him. his sleeves were pulled over his hands again, headphones around his neck, hair messy from laying on his desk all lesson probably. then after a few seconds he looked down at the floor and mumbled, ââŠthat guy in your class kept staring at me.â âwhich guy?â âdonât know.â âmaybe he thought you were pretty.â shota immediately looked horrified. âdonât say that.â shota pulled the sleeves of his hoodie further over his hands, visibly regretting bringing it up at all. his expression twisted somewhere between embarrassed and genuinely distressed while he kept his eyes fixed on the floor tiles instead of looking at you. ââŠiâm serious.â he sped up slightly, shoulder bumping yours again as students pushed past in the hallway. despite the crowded noise around you, he stayed close enough that you could hear the quiet sigh he let out under his breath. âwhat if he talks to me tomorrow.â
