*SATORU'S POINT OF VIEW*
He looks into your eyes after you mention the time. Are you really inadvertently asking him to go home right now? He's attempted every trick in the book this evening, and every time he just gets a confused look from you and nothing more.

He admits defeat and suggests himself that he should be going home as he knows that even if he asked to stay, he'd be sleeping in a spare bedroom. Exiting your house, he gives one last look behind him and sees you in the doorway, offering a small wave before getting into his car.

Pulling away from the curb, he drums his finger on the steering wheel in frustration before slamming them into the leather and pulling over a few meters down the road. He gets his phone out and rings up the girl who texted him most recently, there's no way he's going home without fucking someone after he spent the whole evening being rejected by you.

He knows there's a reason you're holding back, he doesn't even consider that there may be a possibility you're not attracted to him. It's something else, maybe you find his behaviour with other women off putting? But it's not like he's asking you for a relationship, his lack of commitment shouldn't be the reason that you're acting this way.

Receiving a confirmation text back from the woman, he turns his car around and drives back past your house, looking out of his window as he does so.

*Y/N'S POINT OF VIEW*
By the end of the week I'm fully recovered from my illness and can finally return to work. As I walk through the large glass doors to the lobby, I hear someone jog to catch up with me. I look over my shoulder and see that it's Satoru.

I give him a small smile as he walks beside me.

"You're all better then?" He asks as he places a hand on my shoulder which I attempt to shrug off.

"Yes, thanks." I say as I move to take the stairs and he takes the elevator.

"Good to have you back." I hear him call out to me from where he's waiting for the lift as I walk up the steps and I give him a nod in response.

As I ascend the steps, I see Suguru walking down the corridor in front of me. I jog to catch up with him, tapping him on the shoulder to get his attention as I do so. He turns around quickly and smiles when he sees me.

"You're back." He says as he envelops me in a hug.

"I am. I can finally complete the Amazon transaction now." I say and he grins down at me, obviously finding my eagerness to continue work funny.

"Don't push yourself." He tells me and I wave my hand in front of me dismissively. "By the way, we're having a small get together at Satoru's this weekend if you want to come, it's just around ten or so people so less chance of you getting ill this time." He says with a laugh and I roll my eyes.

"I don't know... I'm kind of behind on work." I lie.

"Oh come on, you've almost finished the transaction. It's just one evening Y/n, we're probably going to use his pool."

"I don't know... Would he even invite me?" I whisper worriedly to Suguru.

"I'll make sure he does."

"I'll think about it." I respond before I see his gaze travel behind me and turn to see what he's looking at. It's Satoru who's just exited the elevator and is walking down the corridor towards his office. "I better get going now." I tell him as I turn to my office on our right.

"Have a good day." Suguru tells me as he pats my shoulder before continuing down the corridor.

I work all through the day, with no time to even stop for lunch considering how focused I am. It comes to around 6:00 pm and I hear my office door open. I'm ready to criticise Satoru for not knocking, but I see he's holding two coffees in front of him as he places one down on my desk.
