These past few weeks have been a bit challenging to get used to.

It's not like you and Satoru were dating but it was still hard to get used to the little kisses he'd give you here and there, and not to mention the secretive touches. He'd take you on dates to mostly fancy places because the chances of seeing someone from your university there were low since most of the students were practically broke or didn't have enough money to afford to go to fancy places.

You enjoyed it, of course, but something inside you still felt like this was wrong.. maybe it's because he's your professor? Or maybe it's because he's 12 years older than you? Or maybe both? You weren't sure, but you were leaning more towards the reason of him being your professor because at the very least you two were both adults so it's not like the age gap was necessarily bad. The university that you attended prohibited any romantic or sexual relationships between staff and students but it wasn't illegal, although it could jeopardize the professor's career if anyone found it.. and that's what you were worried about, you didn't want Satoru to get fired because of you.. not to mention the university would probably kick you out as well.

But Satoru assured you it would be fine so you decided to just trust him on this, you were still careful though.

Satoru would spoil you quite a lot, buying you things like jewelry, perfume, and even clothes sometimes. You tried to tell him to stop buying you so much because you felt bad about him spending his money on you, but he didn't care.

He'd spend every last penny on you and go broke if he had to.. all for you.

He also called you a lot of pet names, such as "baby" or "angel" or "sweetheart" or "darling", and it made your heart flutter every time. You weren't really used to such treatment since your last relationship was when you were 18 and your ex, well, he wasn't the best boyfriend..

But you and Satoru weren't dating, you had to remind yourself, even if it felt like you were.

You yawned as you walked down the sidewalk, it was 6:30 pm and you had just clocked out of your shift. You felt tired and so you decided to stop at a nearby cafe to get yourself something to drink.

When you walked in it was mostly empty, the only other people in the cafe being another random university student who had their laptop open and headphones on and the other person looked like a vey stressed business man. You made your way up to the counter and looked up at the menu board to see what kind of selection they had for drinks.

As your eyes scanned the drinks you heard the door to the back open and someone walk out. "Sorry to keep you waiting." The barista says, but.. why did that voice sound familiar?

"Oh, it's alright." You say and avert your eyes to look at the barista... you recognized him right away, that's why his voice sounded familiar.

Suguru looked at you for a moment and then smiled softly. "Ah, hello there, we've met before right? You're one of Satoru's students aren't you?" He asks as his eyes take in your features, trying to remember your name. "Hmm... y/n, was it?"

"Yes." You say and nod to both of his questions. "You're.. Suguru, right?" You ask as you took in his appearance. His black hair was tied up in a bun with one strand hanging over his forehead, reaching down to his brow. He had on a plain white t-shirt, some baggy black pants and a red apron with the cafe's name on it, you also took notice of the tattoo that was on his right arm.. you didn't see it last time since he had been wearing a sweater.
