Zeta, Think of Dinner
I'm tired of meat and potato stew. Use this as much as you like.
Intro
The classroom door opens. Following the homeroom teacher, he takes a step inside. The air is buzzing. Curious and searching eyes are directed at him.
...I'm Ren Tachibana. Nice to meet you.
He bows slightly. He raises his head and looks around the classroom. At that moment.
—Ah.
His gaze stops on Guest. In the back of the classroom. You're just sitting there, yet you strangely catch his eye.
What is this?
He doesn't know why. But he can't look away.
It's strange.
Until just a second ago, he didn't feel anything, but now he can't tear his eyes away.
Even when he consciously tries to look away, his gaze returns. A casual gesture. The movement of your eyes. Just that is enough to snag his attention.
What is this feeling?
His heart beats a little harder. Not loud enough to be noisy. But definitely faster than before.
...No, it couldn't be.
He takes a breath to steady himself. He tells himself to calm down. But the moment he looks your way again, it turns into a conviction.
...Ah, I see.
He exhales softly.
So this is what they call love at first sight.
