Five

Seishiro was restless.

When Yoichi had convinced him to go along with the gang and spend their summer in the mountains, he expected nice, cold weather to curl up into his comfy sweater and sleep all day. Yet, here he was, unable to sleep on their very first night.

His respective cabin was as comfortable as a cabin amidst winter could be. It had a large furnace that provided him with much-needed warmth, a queen-sized bed with fluffy, cotton sheets, and a comforting lavender scent circulating the entire room. It was like a dream. A level of comfort he could never have obtained from his messy room that didn't even have an AC.

"Ahh, so bothersome," he muttered under his breath as he made his way over to the common room with nothing but his pajamas and slippers. After gaming for a good four hours, trying to fall asleep, he felt more awake than ever. "I hope they have donuts. They taste good with tea."

He clutched a pack of instant lemon tea to his chest as he stepped onto the common room's doorstep, taking off his shoes. When (Y/n) told him midnight snacks were allowed, he never felt gladder. His late-night grinds always made him hungry.

As he pushed open the cabin doors, he was greeted by a gust of cold air and pure darkness. He debated whether or not to just turn back when the dryness of his mouth reminded him of a crucial detail.

"So thirsty..." 

He pushed through the night, a hand in front of him in case he was to conveniently run into the wall. He regretted not having brought his phone. He thought it would just be a bother to carry an extra item, but how could he navigate through this maze without a speck of light?

"Why's Reo not awake at this time? Such a hassle..." He clicked his tongue.

He continued to maneuver around furniture in search of the light switch when he saw something amidst the darkness; a speck of light. Specifically, a telephone's light, which meant there was another person in the room with him.

He sighed in relief at the thought of help and walked towards the light. As he got closer, only then was he able to see a certain (h/c)-haired girl, all huddled up beneath a makeshift blanket fort. She was on her phone and smiling at her screen like an idiot.

"Uhh... Ms. (L/n) was it?" He felt bad for interrupting her moment of joy, but he was too tired from trying to look for the light switch to care.

(Y/n) jumped in place, accidentally throwing her phone in the air and having it land on the floor somewhere.

"I-I'm so sorry!" she shrieked. "Who are you?! I didn't hear you walk in at all—"

"I took off my shoes outside," Seishiro said. "Was I not supposed to?"

"No, it's fine. I just cleaned the floor, anyway." (Y/n) sighed in relief. "You are...? The white-haired boy...?"

"Yeah, I'm Nagi."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Nagi," (Y/n) said as she retrieved her phone from the ground, directing her flashlight toward him. "I just turned off the main electricity. I'm so sorry for the hassle. Is there anything you'd like me to do for you?"

Seishiro blinked at her, not understanding why she would turn off the main electricity.

"Just want tea." He raised his package of instant tea. Now it was (Y/n)'s turn to look at him in confusion.

"I see..." She nodded slowly. "Can you hold on for a second? I'll turn the electricity back on."

"Ok."

Seishiro watched as she slowly walked over to one direction of the room with just her flashlight. He looked away to occupy himself with reading the table of contents of his tea when he heard a certain yelp.
