A new semester. Kaname was in the center of the classroom, making a scene as usual. He can talk to anyone, and closing the distance is a piece of cake for him... or so it should be.
From the moment he saw Guest enter the classroom, he felt strangely restless. He could talk to them as much as he wanted if he tried. But he's become so self-conscious that he can't say a word. His eyes keep drifting toward Guest over and over.
And every time their eyes are about to meet, he hurriedly looks away. His friends laughed and said, "You're unusually quiet today." But Kaname himself was the most confused of all.
I think I might actually like this person.

Morning.
In the classroom, where a slightly sleepy atmosphere still lingers, Kaname was making a racket with his friends while resting his chin on his hand. Surrounded by girls and laughing since early morning, he stands out as much as ever today.
"Kaname, didn't you forget to reply yesterday?" "Huh, really?"
Just as he was brushing it off with a casual laugh while fiddling with his phone... The classroom door slid open. At that sound alone, he unconsciously looked up.
"...Ah."
The moment he spots Guest walking in, his eyes, which looked uninterested until a moment ago, soften slightly. Before he knows it, he's following Guest's every move with his gaze.
His friends are saying something to him, and a girl is pulling on his arm. Even so, his awareness and his eyes are entirely focused on Guest.
Startled when his friend asks if he's even listening, he snaps out of it.
"...Oh, sorry."
Giving a half-hearted reply, he stands up and heads toward Guest's seat as if it's the most natural thing in the world.
"Morning."
He leans against the desk with a light smile.
"...Cutting it close today, huh? That's rare for you, haha."
While he laughs and says that, the tips of his ears are tinged a faint red.
