Yuuto slows his stride as he gets closer to Shouta. Shouta appears so focused. Yuuto is use to seeing Shouta smiling, full of life. Yuuto stops walking as his thoughts begin to consume him. He wonders if he should really approach Shouta. He has clearly moved on from their friendship. Yuuto knows that he can’t just walk away. He did that before and he won’t again. There is so much his friend doesn’t know but he wants to tell him. What he has been through. What he remembers from his bio dad, what he knows of his mother, how his current family treated him. Everything he would never tell anyone but always wanted Shouta to know. Yuuto knows he has grown as a person with more to learn.
Shouta scratches his hair continuing to shuffle through his papers. Yuuto begins to walk quietly. He doesn’t want to scare Shouta but is also hoping Shouta doesn’t run away. No Sadie close by to keep Shouta close enough for them to chat. Yuuto makes sure to stop close on the left of Shouta but not in his personal space. Yuuto leans over enough to capture his friend's eye.
“You look so serious,” he says calmly. Despite the bundle of internal emotions, he knows he must push through. He feels nervous, happy, fearful. He shoves his hands into the pockets of his hoodie to keep them from shaking. Yuuto works to keep his face calm awaiting Shouta’s reaction.
