Kunimi is so cute with his little *blep* you know? The way he sticks out his tongue?

Y/n POV
I did it again. I overworked myself. Whenever I get homework over the weekend, I tell myself I'm going to do a bit of it on Friday but end up doing it all on Friday. I do it in the library, after school, where I can't be bothered. Usually I'm able to control myself but my teachers gave me a lot.

As I walk out the doors of Aoba Johsai, I sigh as I realize that it's dark. I start to panic on what to do. I've never liked walking by myself in the dark, it's been my biggest fear since I was a kid. Maybe it was a bad idea to sneak into the living room and watch every scary movie that my parents were watching...

I'm about to tell myself to woman up when I spot a person walking away from the school. I'm close enough to see that it's a tall boy wearing my school's uniform. My hero!

"Hey!" I call to the guy. He turns in the direction of my voice, a bored expression on his face. I don't care, I just need someone to keep me company.

"Would you mind doing me a huge favour?" I ask with a hopeful tone. He stays silent, not moving, so I take this as a sign to continue. "Would you mind walking me home? I know you just met me but I don't want to walk alone, in the dark, all by myself."

"Sure," he responds which surprises me. I'm not complaining though. We start our walk, me showing the way to my house. I smile a bit when he goes on the side of the sidewalk closer to the road.

"Thanks, I'm very sorry for bothering you," I tell the boy. "I'm L/n Y/n, by the way. I'm a second year."

"Kunimi Akira, first year." Wait, wait, wait. First year?! I just asked a first year to walk me home because I'm a wimp?! I must look like such a weirdo!!

"What?" Kunimi asks. I turn to him to see his still bored look. "You made a weird face."

"Sorry. I just feel like such a weirdo for asking a kouhai to walk me home," I explain, rubbing the back of my neck nervously. "Also, I know I've said this a lot, but I'm sorry for bothering you."

"It's fine, my house is this way anyways." I relax a bit at that. At least I'm not bothering him too much. "I doesn't matter what year we're in too, you needed help. Even if I didn't want to help."

He murmurs that last part but I still catch it. Instead of being hurt that he didn't want to help, I'm happy that he did. After the small conversation, we go into a half awkward, half comfortable silence.

Soon enough, we get to my house. "Thank you for walking me home, Kunimi."

"Bye," he says before leaving. He continues down the path we were just walking on as I sweat at the immediate farewell. Ok then.

I walk inside my house to be greeted by my parents. I came late, I texted them that, so they've been waiting to eat dinner. I smile at the kind gesture then sit down before starting the meal.

-Timeskip-
It's another Friday and I've done it again. I can't help but think of that meme with the skeleton, the one that usually reacts to weird google search suggestions. I feel like my take on that meme would be: oh no, I accidentally did all my homework in one sitting.

Anyways, I have the same problem as before: it's dark and I don't want to walk alone. This time, Kunimi isn't here to help me- wait is that him over there?

I squint my eyes at the figure walking away, then I realize that that won't help me see better. It never does so why do I keep doing it? A good question that I don't know the answer too. I walk towards the person I see to try and get a closer look.
