In a Case, It's Raining, Dear | Book 1

Epiloge

3rd Person limited <Muichiro Tokito>

Muichiro walked through the empty hallroom, a cacophony of other loud students' chatters of Kimetsu high can be heard from a mile away.

Muichiro never appreciated the loudness, or any presence of other individuals actually. He just couldn't bring himself to make a proper conversation. It has always troubled his father and other relatives, but to him, he was glad. He didn't have to bother trying to talk so openly, or did he need to socialize all the time.

But he did switch schools with someone, Genya Shinazugawa. He switched schools because Sanemi persisted on moving him to the school where he taught.

Muichiro, on the other hand, switched schools because his father wanted him to be in a bigger school to socialize all the more. He never wanted to, nor did he ever try. But he didn't have anyone at his old high school to be made an excuse to stay.

As he walked, he passed by multiple other students who whispered, giggled and sneered. He didn't mind tho, he was facing the ground. He didn't like seeing new faces, so it was something he did to avoid starting any unwanted attention to himself.

"Hey, Mui!" Muichiro quickly lit up as he turned around to face the person who uttered his name in such a manner that Muichiro could always tell who it was. "Hi, Gen."   Muichiro muttered as he slumped his backpack onto his left shoulder, not curving any type of smile at all.

"Oh.. You seem non-chalant today." Genya chuckled. "Not even cracking a smile for your beloved friend?"

"No, I just don't feel like it," Muichiro lied. He didn't know how to smile. He was always caught up in his own poker face and thoughts, it was inevitable.

"So.. It's already the end of the day, huh?" Genya smiled as he tried to make a conversation.

"Yeah. I mean; The sun is setting." Muichiro glanced at the red and orange horizons from the school's window before promptly turning back to Genya with furrowed eyebrows.

"Uhm.. Yeah." Genya chuckled nervously. "Should we head home? I can walk you if you'd like." Genya offered with a gentleman of a smile. "Sure, that would be nice.." Muichiro nodded as he walked into the direction of the exit.

They walked in a silence that was both nerve-wrecking and comfortable.

"You know.. You're awfully silent." Genya suddenly spoke.

"It is the start of the school year.. Of course I would be." Muichiro shrugged, not making eye contact with the taller one. If he did, he was sure to crush on him harder. Even a glimpse of his bright purple eyes can hypnotize him.

"I guess.." Genya sighed as they left the building. "Now we just need to cross the open field."

Muichiro nodded as he kept his gaze low, They passed by multiple teachers and staff who Muichiro only greeted them by bowing his head slightly. It wasn't a verbal greeting, but it was enough for him.

"You should talk more," Genya suddenly suggested. "Your voice is cu- cool." Genya nervously chuckled.

Muichiro hummed, a low and slow melody of thought. "I'd talk if i'm with you." He mumbled sheepishly.
