Many Thoughts Heart Heavy

Chapter 1

[Hi guys this is my first fanfic so I hope it's ok yuh.]

Yokoo and Satou were admitted to the same college after graduating high school. They were close friends, so this was no surprise. Satou was an international relations major, while Yokoo went for green sciences. [or thats what we are going with for now yuh] Satou joined a cooking club and Yokoo joined all sorts of sports clubs, especially enjoying soccer.

Satou got up out of his bed and put on a plain shirt and jeans. Other kids were quite focused on having nice outfits for college, due to the lack of fashion freedom throughout past school years, but Satou wasn't one to care, he just wanted to study and see Yokoo.

He swiped his Sueca card and got onto the packed train. He was one of the last to get into the train, and it seemed quite too crowded for anyone else to fit. He frowned knowing Yokoo might have slept in and might end up taking the next train. Which would be unfortunate for the both of them. But then, as though the train station jingle were some royal fanfare, Yokoo came sprinting from the stairwell as a cute song rang from the speakers and threw himself into the train, bashing into Satou, which almost caused him to fall back onto some man in a dark grey suit.
He grasped for the handle bar and caught himself and Yokoo. His nose stung a little from the collision, but his face burned more, as if his face was one of the first cookies he had baked in 3rd grade, burnt to a crisp, almost inedible, but Yokoo ate them anyway.

"Yokoo!? That hurt, man!" Yokoo tilted his head to see his friend rubbing his slightly reddened nose, and face. He swore he didn't hit Satou's face, so why was it so red?

"OH SATOU. I'm so sorry are you okay?" He almost cupped Satou's face into his hand but he fought the urge to do so, being in a public setting where he had already caused such commotion.
The train door closed cautiously behind him, and Yokoo leaned inward so his bag did not get caught. They paused awkwardly for a moment, finding their faces a bit too close for comfort. They shuffled around in a disharmonious little dance until Yokoo sheltered Satou from the people.
This was often their routine on more crowded days, as Satou did not grow much at all since high school while Yokoo now towered over him, about a whole head taller. Not to mention, he grew quite muscular as well. Satou, pressed against the window without much else to do, observed Yokoo's jawline, his accentuated collarbones, his long neck, and that face as smooth as marvel.

It came to his realization that he could easily look out the window at the blur of passing homes and streets, but he was somewhat enthralled by his childhood friend in a way he could not understand. Yokoo gazed out the window, occasionally glancing at his phone, then at Satou, gawkily locking eyes, then quickly back to the window. He had a familiar smell, the same as years ago, since elementary. Yet it wasn't. He was no longer a child. He now had the distinct scent of cologne. This was new. And Satou was no longer a child. He now notices things about Yokoo that never would've occurred to him before.

It is simple admiration, he told himself.

When they got off the train, they bought coffees at a vending machine, and walked to class, each holding a Bosse can, laughing together and bringing up the little things about the neighborhood around them, pointing at the moon fading in the morning sky behind the light blanket of clouds above, ignoring the heavy feeling in their hearts. They talked about the little calico cat that always crossed their path in the morning, and of the rude teacher that trudged around the campus all the time.

Finally they arrived at the college gates, and on time, quite luckily. They did a little handshake, in which they lingered a little longer than either had expected. They stared at each other awkwardly until someone touched Yokoo's shoulder. He jumped and shook loose of Satou's hand, and whipped around to see a boy in a knitted sweater that was far too oversized for him. "Oh Mitsuba!"

yuh thats it for now <3
