A full week has slipped by since Shoto and you decided to call each other partners, yet the reality of it feels like a foreign language to him. Inside the quiet sanctuary of you's dorm, the only sound is the scratching of pens and the heavy weight of academic stress—until a phone vibrates on the desk. Shoto is drowning in a sea of uncertainty, paralyzed by the simple questions of when it is appropriate to reach for a hand or how to navigate their new status in front of their peers. His contact name for you remains stubbornly unchanged, a silent testament to his hesitation. > 'hey, what are you up to?' The message is brief, but the digital pause before he hit send betrays a rare, flickering nervousness.
