    Summary

    Expecting his day to be full of simply staring at his ceiling and doing nothing all day long, Haruka, and he would deny vehemently if asked, let out a shriek at the sudden notification that signaled a new message.

     

    Just for a second, he thought his short, pathetic life was finally over, done and dusted.

     

    Picking his phone up from where he had thrown it carelessly earlier, Haruka expected it to be a text from either Nirei or Suo, or even someone in the class group chat.

     

    What he didn’t expect, though, was a text from an unknown number. Hearing the alarms blaring erratically loudly in his head, he sat up and clicked on the unknown number.

     

    Now, Haruka wasn’t sure what or who he was expecting, but he sure as hell wasn’t expecting it to be his one and only dear aunt.

    In which Haruka gets a text from his aunt.

    Summary

    But, it’s a scary thought—their reaction. What would they think about Haruka if they saw him being pathetic like that? Would they—

     

    No. They’d help him, Haruka knows that. They’re his friends, his vice-captains; they’d help. So, why won’t they just help now?

     

    Eyes screwed shut, Haruka’s grip on his hair tightens. He can’t stop the weak cry he lets out,

     

    “… h-help…”

    In which Risa escapes again, and Haruka gets stuck. Literally.

    Summary

    The first time he falls asleep at his desk, he wakes to gentle fingers stroking his hair and hushed whispers. Haruka wakes with a start, eyes wide because how could he let his guard down like that? He’s never allowed himself to nap in his classroom, even if he was just running on an hour of sleep. 

    And then it hits him. He fell asleep because he felt safe. For the first time in his life, he felt safe inside his own classroom.

     

    Haruka Sakura and twelve months between places that were supposed to be his home and the one place that became his home.

    Summary

    “Is…Is Sakura drunk? From one piece of liquor chocolate?"

    “Huh. And here I thought stuff like that only happened in manga.”

    “What should we do? Is this legal? Are we in trouble? Should we report this to Umemiya-san?”
