Sanzu opened the car door for Y/n but she just stood still in confusion. "Won't your siblings be here? I think it'd be rude for me to take the front seat-"

"No, I brought my own car," Sanzu cleared. "Senju's with Takeomi,"

Y/n then sat inside while Sanzu closed the door for her. Just then, Y/n remembered how Sanzu said that his siblings 'dragged' him here.

How could he be dragged here if he drove here by himself?

"Are you alright?" She asks once he enters the driver's seat.

He hummed. "Yeah, just tired," Sanzu assured. "Sorry, I get drained easily, especially during social interactions,"

She smiled, understanding what it felt like. "Don't apologize, we can just sit in silence, it's alright,"

The drive was quiet, Y/n mostly stared outside, while Sanzu focused on driving. He didn't really imply sitting in silence but he guessed it was what Y/n understood by his reply earlier.

Once they stopped by a red light, Sanzu tapped his fingers on the steering wheel before he spoke. "So, was this the only time you saw Chifuyu again?" He asks.

Y/n looked at him with such an innocent look on her face. "Yeah, the last time I saw him was at our senior graduation,"

"You two seem to know each other pretty well," Sanzu continued.

She chuckled. "Not really, other than bonding over jumping over walls, we don't really hang out," She then turned her body to face him. "Oh, this reminds me, I never asked how you and Chifuyu met,"

"We met way back when we were still around 15 years old," He said, reminiscing how he was basically dragged to join Toman back then. "Our friends were friends with each other, so we just became friends, not particularly close, but just friends,"

"I guess you know Chifuyu a little better," Y/n went back to sit properly once the light turned green. "So, uh, random question, who's closer to Hanagaki? You or him?"

"Why do you ask?" He questioned, feeling a little uneasy.

"Just curious, nothing serious," Y/n shrugged.

Sanzu went quiet for a short while. "Well, I can say Takemitchy and I are close, but Chifuyu's close to him as well," 

She hummed, deep in thought. "I see,"

Sanzu didn't ask further, but he would be lying if he said that Y/n's question didn't bother him. He just felt like there was something about the question that needed to be carefully answered. 

They arrived in their street in no time. "Here we are," Sanzu said as he stepped on the brakes.

Y/n removed her seatbelt and looked at Sanzu as she placed her hand on the door handle. "Thank you," She smiled. 

He watched as she closed the door and walked to her house's gate. "Y/n," He called and she turned to face him. He almost stammered. "Goodnight," He said with a smile which Y/n mirrored. 

"Goodnight," She replied before going inside her home.

And once again she was back in her room, thinking about Sanzu. Why is it that every time she spent time with Sanzu, she'd always end up... what's the word? 

Y/n couldn't quite explain it, she liked spending time with him, even if they stayed silent. She liked his presence, and she wanted to be close to him.
