   Even when Nanami tried his best to avoid his senior Satoru Gojo, he had quickly realized that it would not be that easy to do so. The more he tried to keep the white-haired sorcerer out of his business, he just seemed to be even more present and kept turning around him like an annoying fly he would just slap dead, but unfortunately, as much as he tried to do so, it's like Satoru kept on only trying harder to be around him anytime he had the chance to. No matter how hard he tried, his annoying senior would always annoy him with his presence, constantly asking questions about his best friend Sanae that he only kept on unanswered.

But fortunately, lately, he had managed to keep the older sorcerer away for quite a while, so he could breathe properly again without being bothered by the white-haired sorcerer. But even when he wasn't around Nanami to annoy him, the blond sorcerer would think about him, wondering why would he be so interested in his best friend, Sanae. No, more like, why would someone like him want to know so much about Sanae? He had thought that at first, the six-eye user simply wanted to annoy him, but after thinking more about this possibility, he concluded that there was more than that. The older sorcerer was too persistent when asking about Sanae, always asking similar questions and annoying him by doing so. He must have really taken an interest in her if he wanted his questions to be answered so badly. He knew that surely, his senior was doing that to annoy him as much as he could, but the younger sorcerer just knew that there was something more. That Satoru wasn't doing all that simply to just annoy and piss him off. The white-haired sorcerer was childish and immature, but Nanami knew that he was not that much immature. Even if he didn't like to admit it, Satoru was someone smart and that wouldn't lose hours of his precious time just to bother him. And so that's how he just knew that there was a real reason behind all of this. Which reason, that he did not know himself, but he was determined to find out.

He sighed as he sat down on the bench next to the vending machine, still wondering of why would Satoru be so interested in Sanae. Of course, mentioned girl was, for Nanami, a great person with countless qualities, but by the claims of the older sorcerer, their encounters were very brief, but quite frequent. But knowing both Satoru and Sanae, he had a feeling that those frequent encounters were far from being friendly. But he knew if he asked his senior, he would lie, saying that they get along, and he knew that if he asked his best friend, she would also lie, denying that she even met him. So in the end, he never asked both of them, knowing that it would lead to nothing.

He took a sip of his drink, sighing by his nose in exasperation from the situation he was in, closing his eyes to try to just forget about it for now. It was the end of the afternoon, the sun still out in the sky, but slightly lower than in the middle of the day, making the bright blue in the sky in a slight shade darker, almost invisible for anyone to notice. Clouds drifting high in the sky slowly and peacefully, slightly hiding the sun at times, but the clouds were not thick and not blocking enough of the star to hide any of its bright light. The sun kept on brightly shining despite the few bold clouds that would cover it. It was a peaceful, relaxing, and quiet moment for Nanami who enjoyed without a complaint the peacefulness of the moment.

But the peace of this moment got suddenly disturbed by the can of his drink tilting forward slightly, making his eyes widen as he felt the liquid flow down his face, getting some in his nose and on his uniform. He quickly pulled away his drink from his lips and coughed as he choked slightly. As he coughed, trying to clear away the annoying tingling feeling in his nose, he heard the familiar chuckle of the one he tried to avoid so much. He looked up with an annoyed frown and he was met with a familiar pair of round black shades.
