Shinsou wasn't surprised that Y/n was eager to walk with him in the morning. She had made it habitual to arrive early and wait for him. Not wanting to get ready earlier and unable to leave any later, Shinsou was trapped in a corner of walking to school with her.

"Thank you again for last night," she said with a large smile.

Shinsou glanced at her pointed teeth then continued looking forward. "Sure."

"I wanted to thank you in some way, but then I realized I don't know much about what you like," she said, tilting her head to the side. "Is there anything you would want from me?"

"To be left alone."

"That's the only thing I can't do," she laughed.

"I didn't walk you home to get a favor from you," Shinsou huffed. He shoved his hands in his pockets. "I did it because you looked like shit and it was sad."

She shrugged. "I still want to do something for you since I was such a burden while you were running errands."

Stopping at a crosswalk, Shinsou turned to face her. "Then don't be annoying."

She stood still, her eyes flickering from one car to another as they drove past. "Its in my blood to be annoying. I'm always like this."

Shinsou stared at her face, noticing the small crease under her eyebrows that formed after he said that. He sighed, feeling guilty for being so rude despite knowing that she's getting bullied. "Just talk to me normally. No more of this 'love' bullshit," he grumbled, rubbing his face.

Y/n looked at him, her eyes wide and mouth hanging open. "Like, as friends?" she eagerly asked.

Fighting his instincts, Shinsou bit his tongue to stop himself from immediately saying "no." He dropped his arm, already regretting his decision. "If it gets you to stop," he mumbled, defeated.

"Really?"

"Don't make me change my mind."

Y/n squeezed her eyes shut, trying to hide the tears that already formed. "That's so kind of you! Thank you, Shinsou," she said, her grin bigger than earlier. "I'm so lucky to have met you!"

Trying to pull his gaze away from her genuine reaction, Shinsou also shut his eyes. Internally, he complained about how awkward this was, but all that left his mouth was a weak "Whatever..."
