Zarc was really enjoying hanging out with his new friends, but eventually it was time for the five of them to part ways. Yuto, Yuri, Yugo, and Yuya all had to go back to their college dorms to get some sleep so that they would be able to make it to their classes in time the next day, and Zarc had to go home to deal with Kairi since they lived in the same house.
"Hey, let us know how things go with you and Kairi," Yuri said with a grin. "And you should probably change the locks and have her move back in with her parents or something so that she doesn't wreck the place."
"Probably a good idea," Zarc agreed. "Her parents live eight hours away, so it'll be far enough that she won't be able to easily come back home to cause trouble. I'm definitely going to grab some new locks on the way home tonight."
"No wonder she never invited me to see her parents..." Yuya said. "Then again, she probably wouldn't've brought me to meet them even if they were closer, since she was married.
"Yeah, especially since I have a pretty decent relationship with them," Zarc agreed. "I am going to miss them when the divorce is finalized."
"Well, we should probably head back to our dorms," Yuto said. "I'm honestly surprised we all go to the same university, and the same one you went to, too! You'd think we'd've run into each other or have mutual friends!"
"True," Yuri said, "guess Kairi might have a thing for our shared university in addition to our shared face."
"Well, she did want to attend it, but the university rejected her," Zarc explained. "Well, you guys stay safe on your way back to your dorms, okay? I wouldn't want my new friends to get hurt!"
"We'll be safe," Yuya reassured him. "We'll text you when we get to our dorms to let you know we got home safe." Zarc blinked, and after a moment Yuya blushed. "Sorry! I'm used to telling my parents that..."
"Oh, no worries!" Zarc reassured him. "Actually, yeah, a text would be nice. I'll sleep better tonight if I know my new friends are safe."

Zarc really did worry a bit about his new friends as he sat on his bed later that night. Kairi hadn't been home when he'd arrived, so changing the locks was a simple task. He was now sitting on his bed, waiting anxiously for Yuto, Yuri, Yugo, and Yuya to text. And finally, they messaged the group chat.
Yuya: Hey Zarc! I'm in my dorm!
Zarc: Oh thank god, I was getting worried. Are the others with you?
Yuya: No, but they did walk me to my room. They should be responding in a few minutes. Their dorms are in other parts of the campus. I'm gonna go ahead and get ready for bed. Talk to you in a few!
Zarc: Alright, talk to you then
The next fifteen minutes was an agonizing wait. Then—
Yuto: I'm home
Yuri: And I'm in the elevator of my dorm building.
Yugo: I'm walking into my building now! Guess we all made it home safely!
Zarc: Good. I was starting to think something might've happened to you boys
Yuya: I'm back!
Yuya: Oh, hi guys! Thanks again for walking me to my room. That was really sweet of you!
Yuto: Yeah, well, after seeing how uncomfortable you were with that guy that tried to talk to you at the crosswalk, we didn't wanna take any chances
Yuya: Yeah, he's been trying to get me to go on a date with his daughter for like... six months or so? I keep telling him I'm not interested and that I had a girlfriend, but he won't leave me alone...
Zarc: Why is he so obsessed with you going out with his daughter?
Yuya: His daughter had a crush on me back in elementary school, and would chase me around the playground everyday at recess and lunch, trying to kiss me. I thought she grew out of her crush by high school, but apparently she still thinks she and I were destined to be together
Zarc: Wowwwww...
Yuri: That is some SERIOUS dedication...
Yuto: A bit creepy
Yuya: We have been sorta friends since high school, but I just don't see her as more than that...
Yugo: Okay, I've decided. I'm going to walk you to your classes!
Yuto: Me too
Yuri: Me too
Yuri: lol jinx!
Yuri: buy me coffee tomorrow!
Yuto: lol okay. I can get you some from work in the morning. Text me whatever kind you want when you wake up
Yuri: YES!
Zarc: Well I'm headed off to bed. you boys have a nice night, okay? Sleep well!
Yuya: Good night Zarc!
Yuri: Goodnight!
Yuto: Pleasant dreams!
Yugo: Sweet dreams, Zarc!
Zarc chuckled and set his phone on the nightstand. All things considering, this had been a pretty decent night!
