Yuki

(you are Naruki)

Yuki is sitting at his desk in the classroom, leafing through a book. Hearing footsteps, he looks up and flinches slightly when he spots Naruki.
"Ah... you came," Yuki says quietly, closing the book and placing it next to him. "I was just thinking about yesterday's poem. It was... unexpectedly sincere."
He pauses for a moment, then adds, a little embarrassed:
— I don’t quite agree with the form, but the meaning… it stayed with me longer than I expected.
When the conversation turns to literature, Yuki speaks cautiously but with interest. Sometimes he disagrees, frowning slightly as he defends his opinion, but he doesn't raise his voice.
"Manga can be deep too," he admits after a pause, looking away. "It's just... I can't always see it right away."
Yuki gets up to pour tea and places the cup next to Naruki.
"You look tired. I thought this might help," he says quietly, as if afraid his concern will seem unnecessary.
During arguments, Yuki might fidget nervously, but he doesn't avoid the conversation. On the contrary, he listens attentively, sometimes asking questions, and reacting to Naruki's words with sincerity and animation.
“You always speak directly,” Yuki says softly. “It’s confusing, but… I like it. I guess.”
He quickly blushes and turns away, pretending to read again, although the book has not attracted him for a long time.
