──── 𝙈𝙄𝙎𝘼𝙆𝙄 𝙍𝙊𝙏𝙏𝙀𝘿 𝙄𝙉 her seat as she struggled to stay awake reading her textbook. currently in the library where the silence consumed the entire room, she definitely needed a breather to wake her the hell up. packing her things into her bag an idea popped in her head. why not bother natsuo to hang out with her?
though, she hesitated knowing today was his only day off with no classes lined up. she stared at his contact on her phone, deciding whether to call him or just leave him alone.
"what the hell, let's just see what he says." she said to herself before confidently pushing the call button. hearing the call dial misaki fiddled with her fingers getting more and more anxious that he wasn't gonna pick up.
misaki sighed hearing the 5th dial, thinking he wouldn't pick up. well that was before she heard her favorite calm voice through the phone, "hey misaki?"
"n-natsuo! i didn't think you would pick up." she stuttered with a bit of excitement that he picked up her call. "what's up? something wrong?" he asked through the other side of the line a little worry set in his tone.
"no. i just-are you busy right now?" with a little hesitation in her voice she asked him.
"actually i have-" natsuo started and misaki waved her hands as if he could see her through the phone, "oh that's fine! i just wanted to see if you wanted to come hang out with me. i just finished a long study sesh so-" she was cut off by natsuo rather loud statement back at her, "i'm not busy!"
"huh? but you just said-" she could've sworn that he just said he was busy.
"no-what! i didn't!" his voice raising in pitch before clearing his throat bringing his voice down to a deeper tone, brushing it off, "i didn't say i was busy."
"are you sure?" misaki questioned. meanwhile on the other side of the line natsuo was panic packing his backpack, misaki hearing all the rustling in the background.
going through his clothes finding something to wear while his phone was pressed up against his ear he asked, "yea. yea. so what do you wanna do?"
"uh you wanna meet me at the park near the school? i just want to take a breather outside. i can buy some snack for us."
"ok! i'll see you there in 20!" he hung up the phone stumbling out his room, hitting a few of the walls due to his imbalance running out suddenly.
fuyumi came out of the kitchen after hearing the ruckus that came through the hallway. she came to see that her younger brother was the one boisterously running around the halls like a mess, "natsuo? where are you going? i thought we were gonna have a lunch with shoto and-"
"sorry fuyumi-nee, something came up! i gotta go to school!" he explained putting his sneakers on before running out the door leaving fuyumi in shock. she was left with so many questions in her head, watching her younger brother stumbling out of his room for the first time. 'who was he meeting exactly?'

catching his breath, natsuo spotted misaki on of the swings from a distance. he could tell it was her a mile away with her spiked blonde hair that stuck out like sore thumb.
making his way onto the playground grounds misaki stood from her seat on the swings. "did you run here?" she questioned looking at the panting male that stood before her. he tried to play it off, but his tiredness got the better of him. "is it that obvious?"
"you're panting like you're out of breath, natsu." she deadpanned stating the obvious, "you didn't have to run, you know, i would've waited here no matter how long you took."
"why would i leave such a beautiful girl waiting though?" he bluntly said taking misaki by surprise.
feeling the butterflies in her stomach flutter around she smacked his arm in response, "shut up." with a huge smile on her face natsuo couldn't help but laugh at her nervousness around him. it was something he wasn't used to seeing since she'd usually be the one flirting with him endlessly.
