"(Y/N), HIGH FIVE!" said the brunette putting up their hand waiting for my response. I high fived them back and they leaned onto my shoulder. Hange was taller so they had to slouch a bit but they didn't seem to mind.Hange acted so comfortably around me nowadays. I wasn't bothered by it or anything, I was just curious if they acted like this with everyone else. Seeing how they might have interest in someone else, they probably did.
We just finished our project. It felt like time passed by so fast as we finished it in quite a short amount of time. It wasn't hard since I had Hange as my partner. They were always so passionate doing it that I myself felt motivated to get it done quickly.
Since we were done, we decided to go back to our respective dorms to call it a day. They probably had other things to do and so did I. The thing in question was to brag to Rico about how I finished something earlier than her for the first time.
Hange walked me back to my dorm as they were talking about how glad they felt after finishing the project. It was a usual thing hearing them talk but I couldn't exactly focus since they suddenly took my hand in theirs as they continued to talk.
Yes, it wasn't our first time holding hands like this but something about it this time made me feel like there were butterflies in my stomach. I tried my best to ignore it while listening to Hange talk. They made it even harder when they'd squeeze my hand lightly ever so suddenly.
When we arrived back to my dorm, I let go of their hand as I opened the door. Before I could turn the handle, I felt a hug from behind. "H-hange?"
They kept quiet as if they were trying to savour this moment. I felt like my heart was gonna pop into a balloon. So many things were going in my head but I tried to remain calm. I put my hand on theirs, which was hugging my waist. I turned behind to properly give them a hug.
I looked up into their brown orbs. They hugged me even tighter as they smiled in response. "Thanks for helping me with the project...." they stopped for a while, looking like they were thinking for a better response.
"—and thanks for being my.. friend! It's great we got closer, don't you think?"
I nodded in response as I hid myself in their chest. I had no idea why I felt this way but my heart sank when they said that we were just friends. We are, obviously but I just didn't exactly feel satisfied. But being held by them like this felt comforting to say the least.
Before I was about to say something, I heard footsteps coming and I immediately got off Hange. We both gave each other a bit of space since Hange heard it as well.
Hange seemed like they were a bit worried by what they heard but they turned back to me with a smile. We said our goodbyes and I closed the door behind me.
I didn't even realise that someone was watching us from the moment we started hugging but I decided to ignore it. It was normal for 'friends' to hug each other, right?
