Late-Night Study Session

Akane's apartment, late at night. The room is dimly lit by a single lamp, with books and notes spread out across the coffee table.

Akane looking up from her notes, rubbing her eyes, "I think I'm starting to see words that aren't even there anymore."

Jun chuckles softly, "Maybe it's time for a break. You can't learn anything if you're too tired to read straight."

Akane sighs, "You're right. I just... I really want to ace this exam."

Jun leans closer, his voice gentle, "You will. You're one of the smartest people I know. Besides, you have me to help you."

She smiled softly, "Yeah, I do. Thanks for being here, Jun."

He reached out to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, "Always. How about we make some tea and take a quick walk outside? Clear our heads?"

Nodding, she said, "That sounds perfect."

They get up, and Jun gently takes her hand, leading her to the kitchen. They move around each other effortlessly, the ease of their companionship palpable in the small gestures and shared smiles.

A Walk in the Park

The park near their apartment, early evening they are coming back from college. The sky is painted in hues of pink and orange as the sun sets.

Akane is swinging their intertwined hands slightly as they walk, "I love this time of day. Everything feels so calm and beautiful."

Jun glanced at her with a soft smile, "Yeah, it really is. But honestly, everything feels more beautiful when I'm with you."

Akane blushed at the comment, looking away briefly, "You always know how to say the right things, don't you?"

Jun stopped in his tracks and turned to face her, his expression serious, "I mean it. You bring a light into my life that I didn't even know was missing."

Akane looked up at him, her heart pounding, "You do the same for me, Jun. More than you know." You have no idea about how much you have saved me, she wanted to say

Jun lifts her hand to his lips, placing a gentle kiss on her knuckles, "I'm glad we found each other."

They continue walking, the warmth of their shared words lingering in the air, creating a cocoon of intimacy and affection around them.

Confessions Under the Stars

On the rooftop of their apartment building, a blanket spread out with a few pillows. The night sky is clear, stars twinkling brightly.

Akane lying on her back, staring up at the stars, "It's crazy how many stars you can see from here. It makes you feel so small but in a good way."

Jun propped up on one elbow, looking down at her, "Yeah, it's like the world is so vast, but right here, right now, it's just us."

Akane turned her head to look at him "Do you ever wonder about the future? About where we'll be in five or ten years?"

Jun smiles softly, "All the time. And every time I do, I see you there. In every version of my future, you're always with me."

Akane reaches up to touch his face, her voice trembling slightly, "I want that too, Jun. I want to be with you, no matter what happens."

Jun leaning down, his lips brushing hers lightly, "Then that's exactly what we'll do. We'll make our own map, remember?"
