you stared at the message on your screen, trying to decipher suna's sudden interest in your plans. it was out of the blue, but then again, you both agreed to tolerate each other's existence. you pressed your lips into a straight line as your thumb hovered over your keyboard, contemplating how to respond.

you placed your phone on your bedside table and leaned back against your headboard, trying to piece together his intentions. you couldn't necessarily say his behaviour was off earlier today — it's not like you knew him well enough to know what he's really like towards his friends.

or maybe you were reading into it too much.

as you slid under your bedsheets, you decided that leaving it be was what was best for now.

the next day passed in a blur, with classes and conversations blending together as you tried to focus on anything other than your plans for the evening. every now and then, you caught suna's gaze in class, but he looked away just as quickly. it was subtle, but enough to keep your anticipation simmering.

when the school day had finally ended, you went home to get ready, the nervous energy in your chest was making it hard for you to keep still. you rummaged through your desk drawers to find your camcorder, hoping you'd find something that would catch your eye.

once you found it, you were unable to stop fiddling with it. it was an old, silver model. one you had customised with stickers and a small kuromi keychain that dangled on the side. you'd always loved capturing moments on film, and tonight felt like something you wanted to remember.

you left your house a bit earlier than planned and made your way to school, with a pit stop at the nearest 7/11 so you could get a redbull. you bought two in case suna wanted one. you put the two cans in your tote bag, where you also had your camcorder.

once you had arrived, you felt nervous energy pushing you to go home sooner than you wanted to. you absentmindedly fiddled with the strap of your tote bag as you waited for suna to come.

just as you were about to check your phone for the time, you heard a set of footsteps approaching. you looked up to see suna walking towards you, with his hands half tucked into the pockets of his black baggy jeans. despite the dim streetlight casting long shadows over his face, you couldn't read his expression whatsoever.
