Exam week was passing rather easily, Sanemi figured. On his end, things were calm and organized. Though, he had noticed that Genya had begun acting standoffish recently but wouldn't clarify when asked. Sanemi wanted to push but figured that now wasn't the right time. For all he knew, his brother could just be stressed out because of exams. Not everything was a mental health crisis, Sanemi needed to learn to back off sometimes.

"Did the kids bomb your exam too?" Giyuu grabbed the man's attention, sitting at his desk with a pile of exams that needed to be graded. Red ink was smeared across his hand and the man couldn't help but laugh at him.

"Your class is stupidly hard, Tomioka. It's literally a different language." He never really brought it up, but it was really impressive how Giyuu could speak English fluently. It wasn't an attribute you would expect from such a space-cadet of a guy. "But yeah, a lot of kids are bombing mine too."

"Math might as well be a different language. You couldn't pay me enough money to take your exam." Giyuu pouted, motioning towards the calculus exam like it offended him. "I'm convinced you have to be either insane or a masochist if you enjoy math."

"What does that make me, then?"

"You tell me."

"You're such a freak." Sanemi scoffed, moving to swat the other man upside the head but was easily dodged. He could feel his face burning when Giyuu smiled gleefully at him, twirling the red pen in his grip.

"I love you too." This time Giyuu wasn't quick enough to dodge the flying marker but that did nothing to stop his teasing, however, the opening staff door did.

"I swear, if I have to keep watching you too flirt i'mma start charging you two." Obanai hissed, slamming the door behind him despite how the two women accompanying him chuckled. Mitsuri waved at the man, her face bright and flush with glee.

"Oh, come on, it's so cute."

"I kinda agree with Obanai on this one." Shinobu bumped her fist into the man's, turning to shoot a weak glare at the two men they were talking about. "Not even a few months ago, Sanemi would have had a meltdown if we told him that he'd be dating Tomioka ."

"Oh, fuck off, people change." Sanemi shrugged, looking away and willing himself not to laugh at Mitsuri's ugly cackle.

"Enemies to lovers is a popular trope, is it not?" Giyuu deadpanned and there was a pause of silence before no one could keep their composure. Mitsuri laughed, stumbling over to Giyuu so she could hug him while Shinobu had to hold onto Obanai for stability during her cackling. The man, however, was bent over the nearest desk so he could hide his flushed face.

"Oh oh! That reminded me!" Mitsuri suddenly perked up, accidentally shoving Giyuu's rolling chair a few feet until the desk caught him. However, the desk he ran into was the one that Obanai was lying on, so it only disturbed the man and made both him and Shinobu, who was still holding onto him, fall over. "Oops, my bad guys. Are you okay?"

"Mitsuri, I love you so freaking much." Sanemi gasped through his laughter, patting his friend on her back while she still fretted over the others.

"What were you saying, Mitsu?" Obanai grumbled, kicking Giyuu's chair so the man went back to rolling across the floor. It then turned into a game of hot potato, everyone pushing Giyuu and his rolling chair to another person and so on. The man in question did nothing to stop it, actually swiping his things off his desk so he could resume grading while his friends tossed him and his chair around.
