you think you're going crazy.
it's been a few days since that faithful night and hoshina has done..
absolutely nothing.
he continued to greet you and speak to you as normal as if nothing had ever happened at all. so much so that you were starting to wonder if the incident had ever happened in the first place. was it a strange fever dream or some figment of your imagination?? but every time you had a shadow of a doubt, the sensation of his lips on yours would send you spiraling once again.

"you should join us, platoon leader!" shinomiya chirped just as you thought the conversation was over. "and vice captain hoshina will be there too."
you physically jerked at the name being mentioned, especially with the undertone of teasing laced in her voice. you forced out coughed, trying to mask the embarrassing reaction as you turned to face shinomiya once again, who was now grinning at you, undoubtably with mischievous intentions.
"that's very sweet, shinomiya, but it is your first mission. it would be wrong for me to intrude." you responded, surprisingly managing to form a valid excuse to reject her offer.
"oh, not at all," the blonde's tone was saccharine as she spoke. "we've invited the other officers and a few of the operations team, as well. after all, the more the merrier, right?"
