The Quiet Kind of Forever
That Boy by the window
3rd-Year Classroom, Monday Morning
The windows are open. The breeze is cool. The classroom is buzzing like always—except for one boy, sitting alone in the back, staring out at nothing.
[Ren is at his desk, chin resting in his hand, completely zoning out.]
Ren Takahashi
(If I don’t talk to anyone, no one can leave.Simple.💭)
[Desk suddenly kicks from the side—bam.]
Shun Nakamura
*grinning* You look like a haunted goldfish again, Ren.
Shun Nakamura
Smile once, I dare you.
Ren Takahashi
Shun. go away.
Shun Nakamura
Can’t. I sit behind you, remember?
Shun Nakamura
Also… new meat today.
[Shun smirks and leans back with his feet on the chair in front of him. Ren ignores him. The classroom door slides open.]
Ms. Hoshino
Everyone settle down.
Ms. Hoshino
We have a transfer student.
[Aoi walks in—brown hair, soft scarf, big smile. He looks like he belongs in a coffee shop, not a high school.]
Aoi Fujimura
Hi! I’m Aoi Fujimura.
Aoi Fujimura
Sorry for the weird timing, but… I’m happy to be here.
[Some students whisper. A few girls nudge each other.]
Student A
He's kinda cute?
Student B
He looks like he’s been in five romance dramas already.
Ms. Hoshino
Aoi, take the empty seat next to Ren.
Ms. Hoshino
Ren—please show him around.
[Ren blinks. Aoi walks over like he’s walking on clouds, then drops into the chair beside him like they’ve known each other forever.]
Aoi Fujimura
*softly* Hey , Window boy.
Ren Takahashi
*flat* don’t call me that.
Aoi Fujimura
*smiling* what should i call you then.
Ren Takahashi
Don’t talk to me.
Aoi Fujimura
Noted. Ignoring starts after lunch, then?
[Behind them, Shun leans forward and whispers just loud enough:]
Shun Nakamura
I give it three days before you fall for him, Ren.
Ren Takahashi
You’re actually insane.
Shun Nakamura
*grinning* and yet so lovable.
[Time passes. Class is boring. Aoi scribbles something in his notebook. Then… he tears out the page and slides it to Ren.]
Ren Takahashi
(i hate him💭)
[Bell rings. Aoi stands, slinging his bag over one shoulder.]
Aoi Fujimura
Bye, window boy. See you tomorrow.
Shun Nakamura
*As he walks by* He likes you already. Try not to run away.
Ren Takahashi
I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that.
Outside, the wind picks up. Inside, something small begins to shift.
